1830 Did Something Happen Between Them
Hexin, “…”

She bit her lip and glared at Yuan You, red-faced.

If Long Yin was not considered good in bed, then no man in the world probably was.

“Cousin Hexin, you’re blushing.” Yuan You sounded like she just discovered something new. After that, she said with conviction, “Looks like Crown Prince Long is rather good.”

Hexin, “…”

She did not know how to continue the conversation with Yuan You.

Hexin shook her head and got up to leave.

Yuan You quickly followed behind her.

“Cousin Hexin, take me around the Eastern Palace. He’an and I will be going back to the Yan Kingdom after two days. I don’t know when we’ll be able to see each other again,” Yuan You said sadly.

Hexin slowed down in her footsteps when she heard this. She looked at her cousin standing next to her and suddenly felt like she could not bear to see her leave.

“Alright.” She nodded and brought Yuan You around the Eastern Palace.

Lu Liangwei found out that He’an and Yuan You were at the Eastern Palace, and she sent someone to invite them over.

“Crown Princess, Her Highness invites you to bring along Heir Presumptive Beitang and Miss Yuan over to Grand Phoenix Palace during noontime for lunch.”

“Alright. Please let Mother know that I’ll bring them over with me later,” Hexin replied.

After the servant left, Yuan You held Hexin’s hand excitedly. “Cousin Hexin, will I be able to meet the Empress of Great Shang later?”

“Yes, you will,” Hexin said with a smile. “I was planning to bring you and He’an over to meet her, anyway. Why don’t you clean up a little and we’ll head over later.”

It was already close to noontime and Hexin decided to bring Yuan You over to the study to fetch He’an.

She did not expect Long Yin to walk out of the study along with He’an and Qi Heng when she arrived.

When she saw Qi Heng, Yuan You disappeared like a frightened rabbit and hid behind Hexin.

Hexin’s eyebrows raised slightly when she saw this. That was strange. Why was Yuan You hiding from Qi Heng this time like a mouse running from a cat?

However, He’an and Yuan You were here to accompany her for her marriage. Qi Heng was entirely in charge of their boarding at the coaching inn.

Did something happen between them during this time?

Qi Heng noticed Yuan You hiding behind Hexin as well and he smiled a little helplessly.

“There is no need to be so frightened at the sight of me, Miss Yuan. I’m not some wild beast.”

Yuan You poked her head out from behind Hexin when she heard this. She did feel too much like a coward this way. She had no choice but to walk out from behind and said stubbornly, “Who says that I’m frightened of you?”

“Fair enough. I was mistaken,” Qi Heng said with a smile.

Yuan You was taken aback and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Long Yin walked down the steps and held Hexin’s hand. “Why have you come over?”

When Hexin saw them being surrounded by people, she scratched his palm to hint at him to release her.

However, Long Yin misunderstood her hint. Instead of releasing her, he held her hand tighter and his dark eyes glanced meaningfully at her.

Hexin felt her head go numb when she saw this. She quickly pulled her hand away and said matter-of-factly, “Mother sent someone over to inform us to bring Yuan You and He’an along for lunch.”

“Let’s go, then.” A smile appeared on Long Yin’s lips when he saw her trying to look serious. He turned toward Qi Heng. “Come along with us, Heng.”

“Alright.” Qi Heng agreed.

All of them headed toward Grand Phoenix Palace.

When they arrived at Grand Phoenix Palace, Long Yang had not returned as he was still at work in the imperial study.

Lu Liangwei was chatting in the garden while enjoying tea with her two daughters and sons-in-law. It was a happy atmosphere.
