Thanks to the treatment necessary for Without A Cure, Shen Yuan is long used to receiving another man's qi, and doesn't see anything unusual about it. He just relaxes and lets Binghe treat him with a quiet sigh.

"I was shorter, for one thing. A little tubby, honestly -- my diet was pretty terrible, and I never exercised. If I'd been a young master in Binghe's court, I doubt he'd have ever given me a second glance -- unless he'd wanted something from my parents, I suppose. Our family was pretty rich." And even then the lion's share of Binghe's attention would have been for the Shen family's pretty daughter... For some reason, Shen Yuan finds himself forced to suppress a grimace.

(He definitely didn't get a brief emotional insight into what it might actually be like to have someone like the demonic emperor for an in-law. It definitely wasn't horribly unpleasant, thinking about how he might feel if someone like that tried to woo his little sister! And anyway even if he had, it never happened and it's never going to happen, so what's the point in wasting time thinking about it?)

(Anyway in-story Binghe was always good to his in-laws, whenever Airplane bothered to remember they existed. The Old Palace Master certainly made out like a bandit, for instance!)
