469 Scared You to Death (6)
Luo Ling handed her a cup of tea and asked gently, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” she replied with a faint smile. She was sensitive enough to sense that someone was looking at her, but when she looked around, she didn’t see anyone.
Below the seat far away, the masked young man bent his finger and flicked the wine cup in front of him. A white jade ring on his finger emitted a faint jade-colored light.
…
No one expected such an occurrence to happen during the tribute banquet. Shen Xin, who had just returned to the capital, stole the show perfectly all thanks to his daughter. No matter what the outcome was, such a high-profile return made people a little afraid.
In the princes’ section, Fu Xiuyi’s expression had changed from that of a relaxed to serious. From time to time, he would throw glances at Shen Xin. Occasionally, his gaze would stop at the purple-clothed girl sitting quietly.
He was not the only one curious about Shen Miao. Many people present were sizing her up as well. Some young talents felt that Shen Miao was attractive and charming, Luo Tan noticed all the gazes and said, “Why are they looking at my little cousin? How can we eat in peace like this?”
Luo Ling smiled and said to Shen Miao, “Cousin, change seats with me.”
Luo Ling sat a little further in. After Shen Miao changed seats with him, Luo Ling was tall and could block her from the gazes.
Until the banquet ended, nothing else happened.
Huangfu Hao left halfway, saying that he wanted to check Princess Ming An, who had fainted from shock. No one stopped him, but everyone knew that after today, Princess Ming An would probably hate Shen Miao. Although Shen Miao was protected by Shen Xin, it was very easy for Princess Ming An to find a reason to make things difficult for Shen Miao. Everyone looked at Shen Miao with sympathy.
Only Shen Yue and her female friends were happy that Shen Miao had made an enemy of Princess Ming An. Shen Wan wanted to get close to Shen Xin. Now that Shen Xin’s official title had been reinstated and was “invited” back by Emperor Wen Hui, it was not a good thing if he fell out with Shen Xin. However, this time, Shen Xin made up his mind. When he walked past Shen Wan, he looked straight ahead and had no intention of greeting him. Everyone saw this and understood.
After being ignored, Shen Wan did not put in the effort to suck up to Shen Xin either. The two brothers were like strangers.
After the banquet, some of Shen Xin’s former colleagues came over to greet him. Luo Xueyan brought Shen Miao outside to wait for the carriage to arrive.
Luo Tan bounced about in front. Feng Anning had already gone back with Mrs. Feng, and Luo Ling and Shen Qiu walked behind. After turning a corner, there was a carriage arranged by Shen Xin. Shen Miao turned around and saw a slender figure walking slowly towards her at the end of the long corridor in the palace.
She saw from afar that the half of the silver mask on his face looked a little dark and resplendent under the light of the lantern. The pattern embroidered on the corner of the robe with gold thread was especially dazzling in the night. As it fluttered in the wind, she could not see what texture it was made of, but she felt that it was surprisingly gorgeous.
Shen Miao looked carefully. When the young man was still a distance away from Shen Miao, he stopped and turned his head slightly, not knowing if he was looking over at her.
Shen Miao looked at him quietly.
In the darkness, the long corridor in the palace was deep. This person was covered in the light of the moon and was stepping on the shadow of the swaying trees. His expression could not be seen, but he gave people a feeling that he was an immortal demon that came straight out of a painting. He slowly reached out and knocked three times on the pillar at the entrance of the palace.
When Shen Qiu and Luo Ling realized that Shen Miao did not follow them, Shen Qiu walked up to Shen Miao and asked, “Sister, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing,” Shen Miao said.
“Go and wait in the carriage first. It’s windy outside. You will catch a cold,” Luo Ling said gently.
Shen Miao nodded and was about to walk towards the carriage when she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the long corridor.
The moonlight in the corridor was like flowing water, and the flowers planted on both sides swayed gently as the breeze blew past. However, there was no one in the empty corridor. It was as if everything Shen Miao saw just now was an illusion.
Luo Tan urged from inside the carriage. Shen Miao turned around and got into the carriage.
