After the fireworks ended, the three of them walked outside together. Lu Yu left first, and it was not good after all to be seen walking together.
"Do you know my sister and the fourth prince?" Shen Qingran asked.
Shen Xingwan said, "We've been together on a boat for a while, so that's not considered acquaintance."
Shen Qingran smiled and said, "Let's go back quickly. It's probably time to leave."
Sure enough, when they returned, the maid next to the eldest lady was looking for them.
"My wife asked me to tell the two ladies that it's time to go back home."
The two followed the maid to the Shen family's carriage, where the eldest wife was already waiting for them.
In the middle of the night, the whole street was brightly lit, and it became lively as the guests of the Lu family left.
Carriages drove out from the Lu family one after another. This situation can indeed be called grand and lively.
In the spacious and comfortable car, a pot of tea has been brewed.
Shen Qingran personally held the pot and poured a cup for each person.
"The Lu family's momentum is indeed worthy of that of the former crown prince's wife." Shen Xingwan said lukewarmly.
"The Lu family has gone too far. If it flourishes, it will eventually decline." Shen Qingran said softly.
Although she is a concubine, she has been cute since she was a child. Fourth Uncle Shen has always loved the only girl under his knees.
As a talented scholar who was once famous in Kyoto and is now a great scholar, his love is not a careless one.
Instead, he personally enlightened him, taught him how to write and read, and sent Shen Qingran to the best academy.
Therefore, Shen Qingran had read enough poems and books, so naturally he had a deep understanding of them and could see them thoroughly.
The eldest lady said slightly tiredly, "As long as Concubine Lu does not fall, the Lu family's wealth can continue."
When it comes to this, everyone is relatively speechless.
Concubine Lu has never fallen out of favor in more than ten years since she entered the palace.
Their carriage came out late, the streets were extremely quiet late at night, and everyone had drank a bit tonight.
The three of them soon leaned against the car in exhaustion and rested.
Suddenly Shen Xingwan opened his eyes!
There is the sound of horse hooves…
"Huh..." The coachman stopped the carriage urgently.
It shook violently and three of them almost hit their heads.
Shen Xingwan quickly supported the eldest lady.
"What happened?" the eldest lady asked loudly.
The guard following the car replied outside, "Someone is blocking the road."
The eldest lady frowned and was about to speak.
Dongqing rode up to the last carriage window and said to Shen Xingwan, "The person coming is the Crown Prince of Southern Fujian. It seems that the person coming here is not good-natured."
Shen Xingwan thought for a moment and whispered, "Sister and wife are staying in the carriage. I'll go down and take a look."
After getting off the carriage, Shen Qingran followed without hesitation.
She matured later than Shen Xing in Kyoto, so Shen Xingwan shouldn't be allowed to face anything alone.
Shen Xingwan squinted his eyes and looked ahead. It was clearly a very wide road, and three or four carriages could drive abreast without any problems.
However, the entire road was blocked by horses lined up in a row, and all the people on the horses looked bad.
Shen Xingwan raised his head and glanced at the roofs on both sides, but said nothing.
Min Xilin was riding on the horse and looking down at her.
Seeing her being so calm, with no fear on her face, I couldn't help but think of Nangong Xuan's guess more than once that this seemingly frail girl in front of him was not simple.
Sure enough, his eye for seeing people was as accurate as ever.
Min Xilin greeted playfully, "We meet again, Miss Shen."
Shen Xingwan smiled gently and said with a harmless expression, "It turns out to be Prince Min. I didn't expect to meet him here."
"It's true that we meet each other everywhere in life." Min Xilin said with a hint of meaning, "We have met on a narrow road."
Humph, he remembered that it was also midnight in Jiangnan, and that time he was forced to retreat by Fu Jingchao.
Shen Xingwan pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, but still said gently and gently, "It's late at night. Please let us go, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please go home and rest early."
Min Xilin looked at her with a half-smile, "If I don't want to give up, what will happen to the girl?"
Shen Xingwan smiled more and more harmlessly, and looked at each other under the moonlight.
He loudly said to the guard and groom behind him, "Get aside and let Prince Min pass first. We are not in a hurry."
After saying this, she did not lose the grace that a noble lady should have, and said to Min Xilin, "Your Majesty, please."
Then he followed the carriage and retreated to the side.
Min Xilin's eyes stayed on her for a long time. If Nangong Xian hadn't said that she was not simple.
She was probably deceived by her, and she really thought she was a gentle, harmless and polite lady.
Min Xilin glanced into the void, and finally led the person away, "Miss Shen, see you later."
The sound of horse hooves quickly faded away.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take the opportunity to capture her? What a great opportunity."
Those guards are not good at first glance, their fighting ability is very weak.
The other one snorted coldly and said, "You are still not convinced that you are just trying to gain strength and have no brains. Either you look weak or you are really weak."
"What do you mean?" The stupid man was still puzzled.
The man next to Min Xilin looked back and said, "There were definitely other masters here just now."
Although he hid it well, he was originally born as a secret guard, but he still smelled the same kind of smell based on his intuition.
Min Xilin smiled evilly, "Shengjing is getting more and more lively, and it's not easy even to be around a girl."
He has just arrived in Shengjing, so there is no need to rush to attract attention.
The water in Shengjing is so deep, so of course you have to take your time and play slowly.
Except for this accident, the carriage arrived at Shen's house smoothly.
Shen Qingran said thoughtfully, "Madam, I will take you back."
The eldest lady waved her hand and said, "Everyone is tired tonight. Let's go back and rest."
After saying that, he took the maid back to the room.
Just when Shen Xingwan was about to say goodbye to Shen Qingran, he saw a rather gorgeously dressed maid walking over, waving a handkerchief, and saluted Shen Qingran perfunctorily.
Shen Qingran said in an indifferent tone, "Get up, what's going on so late?"
The maid laughed, "Hey, does the girl know it's so late?"
"The Lu family's banquet ended so late. Do you have any objections?" Shen Qingran looked at her coldly, "How about I send someone to help you talk to Mrs. Lu?"
The maid was choked and did not dare to say more. She snorted softly and said, "Madam has been waiting for you to come back for a long time. Miss, you'd better go quickly."
Shen Qingran pinched her palms and said gently to Shen Xingwan, "It's late at night, sister, go back and have a rest. I'll go see the fourth wife."
Then he led the people to the fourth wife's yard.
On the way back, Qinghong whispered, "That maid is too arrogant."
It can be seen that Shen Qingran did not do well in front of the fourth wife who had not shown up due to illness.
Shen Xingwan sighed, "Just pretend you don't know."
Shen Qingran is so smart, she believes she will handle it well.
If she doesn't take the initiative to say it, she won't ask.
If she needs help, she will help.
Although they have known each other for a short time, Shen Qingran is a good girl and a good sister.
★Everyone has arrived, Shengjing has become lively!
