Yi Pei Lan's mother, Yi Furen, had a good relationship with Ren Wan Yun and Master Yi and Shen Gui took care of each other in the official circles. Occasionally Ren Wan Yun would bring Shen Qing to the Yi residence as a guest and Yi Pei Lan had the best relationship with Shen Qing and was also good with Shen Yue.
The matrons present and the male side of the banquet all looked over.
Shen Gui and Shen Wan had been busy with political affairs recently and could not come. But the reason why everyone looked over was not because of Shen Gui and Shen Wan.
In any case, the Formidable Great General Shen Xin had high prestige in the court and when the late Emperor was alive, the Shen family had a lot of privileges and was worthy of the title of the Son of Heaven. Whoever had the military power would have the right to speak. Thus even if Shen Xin was not in the capital all year round, when the Shen family was mentioned, everyone could not help but respect them. Shen Gui and Shen Wan's smooth sailing in the court was also because of their Eldest Brother's influence.
When the males looked at the Shen family, it was because they valued the power of the military but when the females looked at the Shen family, it was like watching a joke.
It was still alright for the Furens as they were older and even if their hearts were filled with contempt, they would still say a few perfunctory words but it was different for the young females. Perhaps everyone had a jealous heart. Shen Xin only had one Di daughter and as Shen Miao's Di daughter, her identity was naturally different. It could be said that she was even comparable to a Princess. And this genuine Di daughter of a noble family was an out and out fool. Stupid and ignorant, timid and cowardly. She loved Prince Ding, Fu Xiu Yi and made a lot of jokes. Unfortunately the falling flowers have a yearning, but the heartless brook is heartless and everyone in the court knew about it.
Not to mention that in front of her two outstanding cousins, she looked more like a country girl.
"One do not know what kind of good show would there be today. With His Highness Prince Ding present, Shen Miao would definitely dress up 'meticulously'." Yi Pei Lan covered her mouth as she laughed.
"Do you not feel that it would be funnier during the academy examinations? With Shen Miao's brainless character, one fear that she would take the initiative to go up on stage. At that time, that would be wonderful! "Jiang Xiao Xuan also laughed.
Bai Wei sighed and pretended to shake her head, "One do not know what sin General Shen committed in his previous life to have such a daughter."
Just as they were speaking, they saw a maid from Yan Bei Tang leading a group of people in.
The one walking at the front was Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu. Ren Wan Yun was wearing a golden embroidered long robe. She was already plump and with her hair combed into a bun, it made her look even more noble and dignified, having the air of a matriarch of a household. Chen Rou Qiu was different. Even though Shen Yue was sixteen, she was still like a young married woman and wore a light green smoky skirt. With one look, one could tell that she was a gentle female from a scholarly family.
Behind them were Shen Yue and Shen Qing.
Shen Yue was wearing a light pink dress with a long skirt and her long hair was tied up into a flying immortal bun with pink pearls. The pearls were of excellent quality and exuded a faint luster, attracting one's gaze. Shen Qing, who was standing beside her, was wearing a peach-colored Ruyi Cloud Mist Dress with scattered flowers. It was also a dazzling color. Her hair was combed into a hundred flower bun, making her look energetic and bright. The jade bracelet on her wrist was bright and translucent.
Both of them were young. One was gentle and beautiful while the other was generous. The clothes they wore showed that they were of high value and they were not bad. As the saying goes, a person depends on the clothes. There were many youths who cast their gazes over. At the male side of the banquet, a Daren could not help but praise, "The daughters of the Shen family have good looks."
"There is still one more." Cai Lin saw the Shen Yue that he admired and his heart was happy. When he heard that, he could not help but ridicule, "The Shen family also has a daughter of General Shen. That is the one with good looks."
That Daren did not seem to care much about the rumours outside and did not know about Shen Miao's comments. When he heard Cai Lin's words, he thought that it was true and said, "General Shen's daughter would definitely not be bad."
