Shen Xingwan returned to the courtyard with a little drunkenness and saw Fu Jingchao, who had changed into black clothes and was sitting under the candlelight, waiting for her.
"Are you going out to do bad things again?" Shen Xingwan asked, closing the door behind her back.
Fu Jingchao looked at her blushing face and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Well, let's raise a toast to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Fu Jingchao looked at her erratic walking, stood up and stretched out his hand to support her, "I'm being watched over there. I won't be back for a while after I go out this time."
He was afraid of exposing his identity and dragged Shen Xingwan into it.
Shen Xingwan, half drunk and half awake, looked up at him, her eyelashes trembling, "Are you leaving?"
Fu Jingchao looked at her rare well-behaved look and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, "No, I will come back to see you."
Shen Xingwan tilted his head and looked at her, blinking, "Oh, then come back soon~"
She was still very cute when she wasn't quarrelsome. Fu Jingchao helped her sit on a chair, and soon her figure disappeared into the night.
Shen Xingwan sat sideways with his head dizzy and looked at the open window. He always felt that there was something he forgot to say...
————————————————————
The news that the prince was going to report the hunting convention made the whole Jiangnan excited!
If you show your face in front of the prince and let the prince remember you, you will have a bright future.
Even many girls are trying their best to participate. They don't dare to think about the position of the Crown Princess, but they can still think about other things.
Even if the prince's wife cannot become a concubine, she will be extremely wealthy when the prince boards the plane and moves into the harem with him in the future!
In the midst of the excitement, the elusive Prince of Zhennan suddenly appeared and said he wanted to participate, once again adding fuel to the fire to this prosperous time.
Even in Shen Xingwan's courtyard, which almost no one usually visits, girls from the Shen family have come to visit in the past two days.
Shen Xingwan always stayed behind closed doors.
Qinghong sent away another group of people who tried to visit. Her mouth was dry, so she picked up the cup and drank half a cup of herbal tea.
"Hey, I think they are in a hurry and seek medical treatment. What's the use of looking for a girl?"
Banxia said from the side, "It is said that the mansion seems to be only planning to take the second young lady, so the others may be anxious."
Shen Xingwan was unable to complain, "If possible, I really want to give this opportunity to others."
Jiangnan has been experiencing a lot of trouble recently, and it always feels like an accident-prone area due to hunting and other events.
The only consolation is that the identity of the person who went this time is probably not simple. As long as she is low-key and transparent enough, no one will look at her to find trouble.
The old lady also sent someone to notify her, asking her to be ready and follow her when the time comes.
Shen Xingwan felt at ease again, and the old lady's safety index had greatly improved.
One day in advance, the main entrance of Shen's mansion was opened wide. The most spacious car was the old lady's car, followed by the wife and the second wife, and the men rode horses.
Shen Xingwan followed the old lady obediently, a little surprised that the eldest lady, who seemed to have no worldly desires and had no worldly desires, would actually go this time.
"Let's all get in the car and set off." The old lady said calmly.
Shen Xingwan helped the old lady get into the car with a wink. After a day of driving, she finally arrived at the hunting ground in the evening.
The Shen family was assigned a nice courtyard, and the room Shen Xingwan was assigned to take advantage of the old lady was also nice.
As soon as they finished packing, the maid next to the prince came out to send a message, "To welcome everyone, the prince is holding a bonfire dinner tonight. I hope that all ladies will attend."
Shen Xingwan put on neat clothes and attended the ceremony with holly and caihong.
As soon as we went out, we saw endless grass and woods, and there were many girls wearing colorful skirts walking together.
The brave girl immediately started galloping on her horse. Shen Xingwan was infected by the lively atmosphere and his mood improved a lot.
"When did sister arrive?" came Xie Zhuohua's cheerful voice.
When Shen Xingwan turned around, he saw Xie Zhuohua, dressed in a red outfit and holding a riding crop in his hand. He looked particularly heroic.
"Sister, this outfit looks really good." Shen Xingwan praised.
"This outfit makes it easier to ride a horse." Xie Zhuohua said, "Sister, please come with me."
Xie Zhuohua still looked noble and cheerful, and it seemed that his mood was not affected. Shen Xingwan didn't know what she thought about the prince's affairs.
The two walked side by side and saw at a glance the large bonfire in the center of the open space and the small torches around it, almost dyeing half of the sky red.
Min Xizhao, who was dressed in a very exotic style, already occupied the front position like a star.
Seeing Xie Zhuohua approaching, she raised her eyebrows and propped her chin up, saying, "Miss Xie is as late as ever."
Xie Zhuohua chuckled lightly, raised his chin and said, "It is indeed not as impatient as Miss Min."
The girls' area, which was originally very lively, fell silent for an instant.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The two noble ladies stood side by side, looking at each other from a distance, their auras in full bloom.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked unparalleledly handsome, walked over quickly and looked at Xie Zhuohua with an affectionate look, "Long time no see, Sister Zhuohua's style is even better than before."
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone hurriedly packed their luggage, and Shen Xingwan quietly took a few steps back to reduce his presence.
"Everyone, get up."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand to help Xie Zhuohua and said, "Sister, there is no need to be polite. I have brought a lot of things to my sister this time."
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine." Xie Zhuohua still looked neither humble nor arrogant.
The two of them were talking back and forth.
Many girls were tugging at their veils, feeling sad.
"Sure enough, His Royal Highness treats Miss Xie differently."
"Of course it's different for the Crown Princess who can be appointed by others."
The two girls sitting behind Min Xizhao were discussing in a low voice. Min Xizhao clenched the cup in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The prince sent Xie Zhuohua to his seat very affectionately and tenderly. Min Xizhao was sitting next to her, but the prince never looked at her.
Although they knew rationally that the two of them should avoid suspicion in public, they still felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and they tightly pinched the palms of their hands.
Xie Zhuohua tilted his head and smiled at her, "His Royal Highness is still so polite and gentle."
Shen Xingwan clearly saw Min Xizhao's expression change uncontrollably.
"Are you showing off?"
Xie Zhuohua chuckled provocatively, "Is this worth showing off?"
Min Xizhao almost couldn't help but want to get angry, and finally turned his head and looked to the other side.
Qi Zhiwei stood at the back and waved to Shen Xingwan, who quickly walked over.
"Sit down quickly." Qi Zhizhiwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming over, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
In this kind of situation, it is better for them to sit quietly in the back and not to be in the limelight.
