Luo Ling handed over a cup of hot tea and asked warmly, "Is Biao Youngest Sister alright?"
"Nothing." She replied with a smile. She was sensitive to feel that there was a clear gaze on her, but when she looked around, no one was looking over, so she thought that it was her misconception.
At the seats of the distinguished guests, the youth wearing a mask bent his fingers and flicked the wine cup in front of him. There was a white jade ring on his fingertips that was glowing with a faint jade colour.
…
It was a good tribute banquet, but no one expected that there would be such an unforeseen event in the middle. But if one were to investigate the reason, it was Princess Ming An's own fault. And Shen Xin, who had just returned to the capital to resume his official position, with this unyielding attitude and Shen Miao's beautiful win, once again made a name for himself in the Ming Qi's tribute banquet. No matter what the outcome was, with Shen Xin's high profile, it made others somewhat fearful.
At the Princes' banquet, Fu Xiu Yi's expression had already changed from the initial calm and composed to a calm and collected look, and from time to time he would look at Shen Xin's side. Occasionally he would look past Shen Xin and stop at the purple clad young female who was sitting quietly.
It was not only her, there were a lot of gazes that were sizing up Shen Miao. There were young talents that felt that Shen Miao attracted attention, and naturally there were also HuangFu Hao's gaze that made others feel uncomfortable. At the end, even a careless person like Luo Tan also noticed it and said, "Why is everyone looking at Biao Youngest Sister? Are people not allowed to eat?"
Luo Ling smiled and said to Shen Miao, "Biao Youngest Sister and I exchange positions."
Luo Ling's position was slightly closer to the inside, and after Shen Miao exchanged positions with him, Luo Ling's tall stature was able to block her, and also block some probing gazes, and for a moment it was much more comfortable.
Until the end of the tribute banquet, there were no other matters.
HuangFu Hao left halfway, and said that he wanted to see Princess Ming An, who had fainted from fright. Naturally no one stopped him, but everyone was well aware that after a few days, Princess Ming An would hate Shen Miao. Even though Shen Miao had Shen Xin's protection, it would be easy for Princess Ming An to find an excuse to make things difficult for Shen Miao. Everyone's gaze towards Shen Miao unconsciously had a little sympathy.
Only Shen Yue and entourage felt pleased when they saw Shen Miao. Most likely Shen Wan wanted to get close to Shen Xin, but now that Shen Xin was reinstated and was' invited 'back by Emperor Wen Hui, it would not be a good thing for the relationship between the brothers to be too stiff. But this time, Shen Xin had made up his mind. He did not even look sideways when he passed by Shen Wan, and did not have the slightest intention of greeting him. Everyone saw this and understood in their hearts.
When Shen Xin was forced to leave the capital, the news of him separating from the Shen family was known by the entire capital. It had always been easy to add flowers to a brocade but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Now that Shen Xin had made a comeback and Shen Wan had come to greet him, any man with guts would not bother about it. In terms of cleaning up, Shen Xin had the upper hand.
Shen Wan also did not crazily stick to the cold buttocks. Shen Xin did not pay attention to him, so he did not impatiently go forward. The two brothers were like strangers.
After the banquet, some of Shen Xin's former colleagues came over to greet him. Luo Xue Yan brought Shen Miao outside to wait for the carriage to arrive.
Luo Tan skipped in front and Feng An Ning had already gone back with Feng Furen while Luo Ling and Shen Qiu walked at the back. After turning through a Palace door, there was the horse carriage that Shen Xin had arranged. Shen Miao turned her head and coincidentally saw that at the end of the long corridor in the Palace, there was a slender figure slowly walking over.
Before one could see the appearance clearly, one could see from afar that the silver mask on his face shone brightly under the light of the lantern. And the embroidered pattern on the corner of the robe was especially clear in the night. One could not see clearly what kind of texture it was and only felt that it was extraordinarily gorgeous.
Shen Miao looked at it carefully. When that youth walked to a distance away from Shen Miao, he stopped and tilted his head slightly. One did not know if he was looking at this side.
Shen Miao looked at him quietly.
In the night, the long corridor in the Palace was deep and serene. This person was covered in the moonlight as he stepped on the swaying shadows of the trees. One could not see clearly what expression he had but one felt that he was like an immortal demon from a painting. He slowly stretched out his hand and his fingers slightly bent before lightly knocking three times on the pillar at the Palace door.
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling discovered that Shen Miao did not follow over. Shen Qiu walked in front of Shen Miao and asked, "Younger Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Shen Miao recovered to her senses and said.
"Go to the horse carriage and wait first. The wind outside is strong so that one would not catch a cold." Luo Ling said warmly.
Shen Miao nodded her head and lifted her feet to walk towards the horse carriage. But she suddenly stopped her footsteps and turned her head to look at the long corridor.
The moonlight in the corridor was like water and the flowers painted an intoxicating picture on the ground. When the breeze blew past, the flowers trembled and there was no figure in the empty corridor. It was as if everything just now was an illusion.
Luo Tan's soft urging voice was heard. Shen Miao turned around and closed her eyes before lifting the corner of her skirt up the horse carriage.
