On the day of Shangsi Festival.

As soon as it dawned, the servants of the Shen Mansion got up.

Everyone performs their duties, which is also a lively scene.

There was still silence in Yilan Courtyard, only the little maid responsible for cleaning the outside was busy quietly.

Under the layers of curtains in the room, a petite figure on the couch was wrapped in a soft brocade quilt, sleeping soundly.

It wasn't until midnight that the eldest girl Ju Bai came in with the others, dug Shen Qiaochen out of bed and dressed her up.

By the time Shen Qiaochen realized what he was doing, he had already been packed up and sat safely in the carriage.

Shen Qiaochen leaned lazily on the soft cushion, holding a warm hand stove in his hand.

The warmth spreads from the palm of the hand to the whole body, and the warmth makes my heart feel comfortable.

As the carriage shook slightly, Shen Qiaochen felt sleepy again.

Suddenly, I heard Zi Fu's mysterious voice: "I heard that there was a commotion at Bishui Pavilion early this morning."

Zi Fu is still young, has a wild temper but is very smart.

She was very disdainful of Bai Xiaonian, who was always pretending. That was all in the past. Now her daughter seems to have seen the true face of her cousin. As the smartest maid beside the girl, Zifu has always been obsessed with the Bishui Pavilion where Bai Xiaonian is. Very concerned.

Now Shen Qiaochen was even more indulgent towards the four maids. There was no one else around at this time, so she didn't interrupt them.

Seeing that his girl had no intention of being unhappy, Yunling on the other side said, "Oh? Could it be because of what happened a few days ago?"

Zi Fu continued enthusiastically: "Otherwise, what else could it be because of? This morning, the Li family took Li Xia and knelt down outside the Bishui Pavilion to apologize. They refused to get up even after saying anything."

The girl from the Li family that Zi Fu mentioned was Li Xia’s mother.

He was originally serving at the old lady's side, but later the old lady made the decision and assigned him to Lixia's father, and he is still working in the house now.

She had a fierce temper when she was young, and even now she is not easy to get along with.

Yun Ling said: "It doesn't matter if I kneel until the end of time. The mistake was admitted by Li Xia herself. How can she retract her confession?"

"That's right, she and Ying'er made such a big mistake. She was able to save her life because her father had a fight with the master. After all, Ying'er is..."

Speaking of this, Zifu immediately stopped talking.

As if she thought of something, even Yunling calmed down.

…

After a while, Yunling's voice was heard softly but firmly:

"Ying'er betrayed the master, she deserves it."

…

Hearing this, Shen Qiaochen opened her eyes, looked at the two of them, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

In her previous life, Yunling also had such a clear distinction between love and hate, but in the end she ended up with such a miserable result...

Shen Qiaochen closed her eyes, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said softly:

"Look, there's still something going on."

The ending sound spreads out, like a sigh.

…

As the master and servant were thinking about each other, the carriage unknowingly turned the last street corner and gradually slowed down. Through the corner of the curtain blown by the wind, the palace gate was visible in the distance.

It was just past midnight when a long queue formed at the entrance of the palace.

The palace banquet is held in the evening, and most of the people entering the palace at this time are female relatives going to the harem.

Except for the princesses and other clan girls, most of them took this opportunity to visit their own concubines.

Of course, there are differences.

For example, at this time, as soon as the Shen family's carriage approached, a well-dressed female official led someone to greet it.

"Caiwu has met the two young masters."

I saw the female official named Cai Wu wearing a blue palace dress and her expression was steady and polite.

You can tell at a glance that it is for the master's use.

Shen Qiaoqi nodded, and then the two brothers got off their horses and walked towards the two carriages respectively.

General Shen, his wife and Young Master Shen are away at war and have been away from the capital all year round.

Therefore, for today's palace banquet, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and her three siblings, Shen Qiao, came to the banquet.

"Xiao Qiao, we are here."

Shen Qiaoran's voice came from outside the carriage. Yunling and Zifu got out of the carriage first, then turned around to help Shen Qiaochen.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiaoran on the side suddenly pushed away the two of them and went to help his sister out of the car in person.

Since ancient times, boys and girls have not sat together at the same table since the age of seven, but the third young master and the fourth girl of the Shen family are twins, and their relationship has been closer than with the other two brothers since they were young.

So looking at his brother who was smiling brightly at him, Shen Qiaochen was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

The young boy and girl who are still young look at each other and smile, they all have similar faces and are extremely outstanding.

For a moment, many people present were stunned.

Shen Qiao was born favored, but she has been sick and weak since she was a child and rarely goes out. Therefore, most of the outside world sees her as "only hears her name but never sees her."

In addition, in the past year, Bai Xiaonian has been out for banquets, and his words have always revealed his fear of this cousin from time to time. This has led to everyone secretly feeling that the daughter-in-law of the Shen family is very powerful, treats her cousin harshly, and has a surly personality. Don't make friends.

But the girl in front of her at this moment was thirteen or fourteen years old, with extremely white skin. She was wearing a jade-colored embroidered skirt with folded branches and flowers, and a thin cloak with a pea green feather gauze cover.

Xu Shi was recovering from a serious illness, and his whole body exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. He lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes. Among the brightly dressed ladies and ladies, he was like the most delicate water hibiscus, pure and ignorant.

Zifu stood with her hands down, originally secretly nervous. Zifu herself had heard the comments about her girl from outside, and although she was not angry every time, she could do nothing about it.

But now looking at the amazement in everyone's eyes for my girl, I can't help but think of what the girl once said:

"Rumors are like a knife that can cut into people's hearts."

"But people often prefer to believe what they see with their own eyes."

"This is what you see with your eyes and believe it with your ears."
