Shen Yinning gazed at the sleeping quarters.
In the past, before her father and brother ran into trouble, the Commandery Princess of Qinghe would often attend banquets at her house.
Although she carried a cool and detached demeanor, she treated her future sister-in-law quite kindly, occasionally sending over flower-shaped pastries or snacks. When they met at palace banquets or at gatherings in other people's residences, she would still care for her as if she were her own sister.
The way she looked at her brother was intense and ardent. Once, during a banquet at their estate, her brother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for being too mischievous. Upon hearing that the Commandery Princess of Qinghe had arrived, he immediately climbed over the wall to see her. The Commandery Princess held his hand and led him to a low wall covered with climbing roses, then stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.
