When Mu Chenye met those eyes, he was stunned for a moment. The dazzling sunlight was not as bright as her eyes.

With cold eyes, he secretly looked at the woman who was almost leaning against his shoulder.

Although she was frail, she was always calm and composed when facing the prince's provocative words, as if nothing could shake her in the slightest.

Suddenly he was curious about what kind of person was in front of him. He, who was always calm, couldn't help but have a desire to spy on him.

I want to protect forever these eyes that smile so brightly at him.

"I didn't know the Emperor's uncle was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope the Emperor's uncle will forgive me!"

The prince greeted in panic, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He was more afraid of his uncle than his father. Even though this uncle was only three years older than him, he felt so oppressive every time he faced him that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

I secretly wondered why the emperor's uncle suddenly appeared here. He has never liked crowds and has never attended any banquets in the palace except for the family dinner on New Year's Eve. It's really strange!

No one expected that Prince Chen would suddenly appear. Except for the frightened Crown Prince, everyone else was excited. They tried their best to suppress the throbbing in their hearts and tried to maintain the manners of a lady, for fear of making a fool of themselves in front of Prince Chen.

"As the prince, how can you be so arrogant? Kneel here and reflect on your mistakes."

Mu Chenye's voice was not loud, but it was cold as ice and made people shudder.

The prince trembled when he heard this, and the next moment he knelt on the ground obediently.

Shen Tangan watched in shock as the prince knelt down. No one else was surprised at all, as if this was supposed to be the case.

Even Mingyue had a look of wishing for the best for herself, as she suddenly realized that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen had such a high status in the Central Jin Dynasty.

Even though Mu Jun was the crown prince, he had to punish people as soon as he said so, and no one else dared to say a word in rebuttal.

Mu Chenye glanced at Shen Tangan, walked past the kneeling prince, and left in a casual manner, his sleeves fluttering, leaving only the words "Stand up".

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness Prince Chen to come to the Spring Banquet. I should have dressed more beautifully so that His Royal Highness would notice me at a glance."

"Who said it wasn't? His Royal Highness Prince Chen never attends palace banquets. Who would have thought that he would appear at the Spring Banquet? It's really unexpected."

As soon as Prince Chen left, the young ladies around him immediately became excited and cheered one after another. No one paid attention to the prince kneeling on the ground.

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen hasn't gone far yet, let's go and take a look!"

Someone suggested it, and everyone started chasing after Prince Chen, completely forgetting the "excitement" just now. Soon, only Prince Mingyue, her, and Shen Qingwan were left in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Brother Crown Prince, you could have dealt with Shen Tangan at any time, but you had to do it in public, and you were caught by the Emperor's uncle."

Mingyue shook her head helplessly at him. It would have been fine if he had met his mother, but unfortunately it was his uncle who had not returned to the capital for a long time.

Even if my father were here, I would not be able to escape punishment from my uncle.

He suddenly glared at Shen Qingwan, his tone full of disgust.

"She is just a concubine's daughter, but she caused the Crown Prince to be punished. She is quite capable."

If it weren't for this woman's instigation, why would the Crown Prince have to pick a fight with Shen Tangan? In the final analysis, it was all her fault.

"Mingyue, this matter has nothing to do with Wan'er. It's all Shen Tang'an's fault. If she hadn't humiliated Wan'er, this wouldn't have happened today."

Even though Mu Jun was punished, he still defended Shen Qingwan. As he spoke, he looked up and glared angrily at the person opposite him.

Shen Tangan spread his hands innocently when he was glared at. Just because she was the future Crown Princess that he disliked, he could blame everything on her?

How unreasonable!

How could such a person become the crown prince?

She did not take the prince's words to heart, and instead looked at Shen Qingwan with a smile.

"Sister, you and His Highness love each other, and he was punished to kneel here for you. You will definitely stay here to accompany His Highness, right?"

"Wan'er will stay here with me, unlike you who has a vicious heart and doesn't know what gentleness is!"

Before Shen Qingwan could answer, the prince could not wait to retort, not giving her any chance to choose.

"Of course, Sister Wan'er understands this best. Since Your Highness sees that I am upset, I will leave as soon as possible."

Shen Tangan was in a very good mood and echoed his words. He glanced at Shen Qingwan who had an unhappy expression and just found it funny.

She must have been regretting missing this opportunity to stand out, but she had to stay and accompany the prince. This was a great opportunity for her to show her ability in front of the prince.

The mutual affection in the prince's eyes is probably not worth mentioning in her heart. If he were not the prince, do you think Shen Qingwan would even look at him?

I didn't expect that this hot-tempered prince would be so innocent in his feelings. I wonder if his sincerity towards Shen Qingwan can withstand the rumors in the future.

"You know what's going on!"

The prince sneered and turned to look at Shen Qingwan with gentle eyes.

Shen Tangan left briskly. Mingyue looked at the two of them, gritted her teeth angrily, and followed him.

The Crown Prince was completely bewitched by the enchantress Shen Qingwan. That enchantress's eyes were full of calculations, how could there be any sincerity in her?

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was like a possessed man and would not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her, even scolding her, his sister who grew up with him.

"Shen Tangan!"

As Shen Tangan walked out of the corridor, he heard Mingyue's voice behind him.

I turned around with a puzzled look. Could it be that she was here to cause trouble again?

"Do you really want to break off the engagement with the Crown Prince?"

Mingyue walked up to her with a solemn expression and serious eyes.

"It is His Highness who wants to break off the engagement with this subject."

She smiled and helped her correct the wrong words.

From the beginning to the end, she was the one disliked by the prince. When would it be her turn to make the decision on this marriage?

"Shen Qingwan is not a good person! If the prince must marry her, he might as well marry you."

Mingyue clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her face was full of disgust when she spoke of Shen Qingwan.

There is no doubt that she hates Shen Tangan, but everything happens for a reason.

Shen Tangan often went to the palace to accompany Concubine Zhen since he was a child. The two fought when they met for the first time, and Shen Tangan lost to her in the end.

From then on, he began to compete with her secretly in everything, trying to suppress her in every way.

However, it seemed as if I was not as smart as her and I have never beaten her once so far.

Over time, hatred grew in her heart. If she were not around, who would dare to disrespect her, the princess?

The more she thought about it, the more he targeted her. But today she suddenly discovered that Shen Tangan never seemed to take her seriously. He seemed to have forgotten about her after not seeing her for more than half a year. It took her a long time to remember.

Unable to bear the sight of her treating him like nothing, vicious words came out of his mouth.

Because in her eyes, Shen Tang is a subject and she is the king, so he should bow down to her and be as respectful and fearful as others are when they see her.

But she is different from others, and so is her brother Shen Huaichuan!

So she hated both of them and wanted to destroy them!

But after meeting Shen Qingwan, she changed her mind.

Shen Tangan is a straightforward person, and he is always open and honest even when he confronts her.

But Shen Qingwan is different. She is insidious and vicious, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. It is a huge hidden danger for such a person to stay with the Crown Prince.
