Chapter 1530: Chapter 1525: The Difference Between a Woman and a Girl

He single-handedly wrapped his arm around Rong Yun’s waist, carrying her out of the room like a little chick, and had Wei Jue thoroughly search the room. He instructed to remove all those yellow-covered books and throw them away, not letting Rong Yun see them.

Wei Jue also secretly glanced at the contents of the books and felt they were somewhat wild, but after he completed the task, he asked Qin Muyan, “Your Highness, do you really not plan to consummate the marriage with the Princess? It seems this was the maid’s idea, and her approach wasn’t wrong after all.”

“This prince didn’t say she did anything wrong, but Rong Yun is still young. Look at her, she’s as small as my youngest cousin and still childlike. How could she engage in such activities?”

Qin Muyan looked at Rong Yun sulking beside him and massaged his aching temples.

He truly couldn’t imagine what would happen if he did something to Rong Yun.

She was too young, too delicate, this body of his… she probably couldn’t bear it.

Wei Jue glanced at the Princess and quickly lowered his head, immediately understanding Qin Muyan’s predicament.

Under Qin Muyan’s instructions, he communicated with the strict maid, conveying that Qin Muyan was not in a hurry to consummate the marriage and asked her not to show those things to Rong Yun anymore to avoid corrupting her vision.

The strict maid was stunned upon hearing this, but Wei Jue was conveying Qin Muyan’s intent, how could she dare to disobey?

She had no choice but to bow and replied softly, “Yes, I understand.”

However, with such instructions from Qin Muyan, the strict maid predicted that soon, Rong Yun would no longer be Qin Muyan’s sole favorite. Others, such as the Eldest Princess, would find ways to introduce other women to Qin Muyan.

The Great Wei Royal Family regarded Qin Muyan’s offspring as very urgent and important. If Rong Yun couldn’t bear children soon, others would take her place to bear children for Qin Muyan, putting Rong Yun’s position at risk.

But Rong Yun was unaware of these factors. The daily affairs of the prince’s mansion were managed by the strict maid, and she spent her days playing and learning. She couldn’t be overly reprimanded by the maid as Qin Muyan doted on her. There were no other women in the mansion, and all expenses were managed by the chief steward, so it wasn’t a big deal for her.

Also, Qin Muyan didn’t restrict her, and enjoyed taking her out for fun. She couldn’t ride horses or hunt, so Qin Muyan took her to listen to stories at taverns, fly kites in the suburbs, and buy things she liked from the rouge and cosmetic shop.

Today was also a day she returned with a bunch of items in the envious and jealous eyes of other women, accompanied by Qin Muyan.

But just as they arrived at the entrance of their home, a handsome young master patted Qin Muyan’s shoulder, “Brother, there’s a feast today, let’s go together.”

The visitor was Qin Muyan’s sworn brother, the young master of Marquis Xie’s Mansion, Xie Qingyou. He had grown up studying and practicing martial arts with Qin Muyan. Although neither excelling in literature nor martial arts, he was the best at seeking pleasures. Most of Qin Muyan’s fun times were spent with him.

He had been waiting outside the Scarlet Flame King’s mansion for half an hour just to drag Qin Muyan to see dancers.

Qin Muyan, thinking he had no other commitments today, after bringing Rong Yun back, thought it wouldn’t hurt to go out for some fun. He turned around and told Rong Yun, “I won’t join you for dinner tonight. You rest early.”

The weather wasn’t that cold anymore. Yesterday, when he held Rong Yun while sleeping, she complained he was too warm. Him coming back late tonight would mean she could sleep alone without feeling too warm.

However, after spending a day out, Rong Yun didn’t want to rest back at the mansion. The strict maid told her to spend more time with Qin Muyan, especially when he was entertaining outside—it could be fun, and she could join in too.

The strict maid was naturally coaxing her to spend more time with Qin Muyan, but she was naturally playful. Clinging to Qin Muyan’s arm, she said, “You are going out to have fun, aren’t you? I want to go too!”

Qin Muyan rubbed her head, “Why do you want to go where men go?”

Xie Qingyou heard this and chuckled with his folding fan, “No worries, no worries, brother. Today we are attending an elegant banquet, just to watch some performances. It’s fine to bring sister-in-law along.”

Hearing him say this, Qin Muyan looked down at Rong Yun, “Do you really want to go have fun?”

Rong Yun nodded seriously, “I want to go.”

She didn’t want to stay cooped up in the mansion, and the places Qin Muyan took her to when he was off duty were really fun. She looked forward to every one of his holidays and was eager to visit fun places.

Qin Muyan brought Rong Yun with Xie Qingyou to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, where a new group of dancers from the Great Cheng Dynasty had arrived. Their dance had a unique flavor, different from the dancers of Great Wei Dynasty, so he eagerly dragged Qin Muyan along to enjoy the performance with several other brothers.

Within a large private room, fragrant smoke curled around, light curtains fluttered, and five tables were set up. Qin Muyan led, with Rong Yun by his side, and Xie Qingyou sat to their lower left.

Being experienced in this, once everyone was seated and the food and wine served, Xie Qingyou enthusiastically raised his arms and clapped his hands twice, ringing out crisply.

Then, as the music began, dancers clad in brightly colored light gauze filed in. Their dance outfits were thin, revealing midriffs and low cuts, with small bells tied around their waists that jingled crisply with their movements.

Their bare feet touched upon the carpet, sleeves waved, torsos twisted, all incredibly captivating.

The men in the room watched intently, and Xie Qingyou repeatedly applauded in excitement, joyfully pulling a girl over to share a drink with her.

Gleefully, he raised his cup to Qin Muyan, “Brother, a toast to you! Isn’t today’s music and dance truly excellent?”

Qin Muyan raised his wine cup, smiling lightly, “Not bad.”

The dancers, graceful and soft-bodied, compared to the robust women of Great Wei Dynasty, were more enchanting and pleasing to the eye.

Only Rong Yun looked entirely baffled. She poked Qin Muyan’s hand and asked him, “What’s good about it? I think it’s quite ordinary, I could dance it too.”

Although she disliked poetry, she had still learned music and dance, taught personally by her mother since childhood. She believed she danced better than these dancers. Several among them were slightly off in their movements, even missing the beats.

Indeed, quite ordinary.

“You can dance?” Qin Muyan raised an eyebrow.

Rong Yun nodded, “Yes, after all, I am a princess of a nation. I’ve learned music and dance, but such an occasion is not suitable for me to dance. I can dance for you back at the mansion, and I will definitely dance better than them.”

Rong Yun hadn’t referred to herself as princess for a long time, but as she spoke now, there was an inherent pride in her voice.

Qin Muyan knew he couldn’t compare her to those dancers and simply told her, “You are different from them. They perform for people’s entertainment as women, but you, you are still a girl.”

“What’s the difference?” Rong Yun understood the term “perform for people’s entertainment,” knowing Qin Muyan was protective of her.

But, is there a difference between a woman and a girl?
