Reminded by Jian Yun, only then did Yan Lian remember...
After he arrived at the Princess Residence, Nan Xing had told him about the incident of the great fire where the Eighth Princess Consort's hand was injured.
Her hand would often ache and tremble, and the pain would worsen if she became too exhausted.
Thus, he quietly calmed down and stopped interrupting.
It was also at this time that he finally realized that something was amiss.
Why was the palm of his hand feeling so soft?
When he stiffly raised his head, he discovered that Jian Yun was holding his hand.
Noticing his gaze, Jian Yun quickly looked down as well.
Only then did she realize that in her haste, she had inadvertently grasped his hand.
"I apologize, Ninth Prince," Jian Yun said with an awkward tone.
She quickly withdrew her hand.
Yan Lian's expression was also somewhat unnatural as he whispered softly, "It's, it's fine."
"Hmm?"
Could it be that the Ninth Prince was embarrassed?
