Chapter 34 He Just Wants to Humiliate Shen Yinning
Lu Ying refused: "No."
"Brother Lu Ying..." Shen Yinning rubbed against his chest with all her might, her voice becoming increasingly coquettish and spoiled, "Brother Lu Ying, let me take just one look, alright? After all, my younger sister is still at Shengguo Temple. I’ll leave right after I see it—I swear it won’t disturb her."
Lu Ying’s eyes darkened.
Shen Yinning was now merely the wife of a low-ranking official, an insignificant and fallen figure—a forbidden fruit kept hidden in the shadows, nothing more than a plaything. If she were to see Shen Yunxi’s opulent chambers, would she feel anguished? Would she envy her?
Would she regret not becoming his Crown Princess Consort?
As if possessed, Lu Ying uttered a single word: "Alright."
That night, Shen Yinning disguised herself as a young eunuch and was silently escorted into the Eastern Palace by Lu Ying.
He dismissed the palace maids and matrons serving in Shen Yunxi’s chambers, then said calmly, "This is the chamber where I and the Crown Princess Consort wed."
Shen Yinning looked around curiously.
Golden-brass, tree-shaped candlesticks stood proudly in every corner of the chamber. The floor was paved with golden lotus-patterned orange tiles, freshly cleaned and arranged. Vases filled with vibrant flowers emitted a delicate fragrance, while the table was adorned with exquisite teas and pastries. The room was furnished entirely with carved rosewood furniture, and the vanity table overflowed with expensive and rare jewelry, intricate hairpins, and makeup powders—all crafted by imperial artisans.
