Chapter 33 Private Meeting

In a blink of an eye, it was another Mid-Autumn Festival. Shen Xuanji wanted to go to the palace with Xue Zhen to go to the banquet and could not return to the Anguo Mansion, so he sent someone to his grandmother's house early to send gifts.

"Look at me, I don't remember yet." Shen Xuanji patted her forehead and called the gift giver back. "I haven't seen Coral for a while. She is thin-skinned and embarrassed to come to see me."

"She is also a big girl and knows how to dress up." Shen Xuanji turned her face and asked Lan Qing, "The material rewarded by the Empress Dowager last time, choose two bright colors for her."

Lan Qing should go to the cabinet for inspection. When Chunzhuo heard this, he said, "I'm afraid it's not enough. I think the pair of Cuizhubao's hairpin sent by the sixth princess last time is the most suitable for the three girls's appearance."

"You will count my things." Shen Xuanji smiled and went to the dressing table, put the pair of hairpins in a box, picked a pair of coral beads for Shen Yingluo, and added a pair of tassels for Shen Coral.

"His sisters have got something, but Yulang didn't. I'm afraid I'll be angry." Shen Xuanji thought of his younger brother and smiled again, "I don't know how well he is reading now. Chunqi, go to the prince's study to get the crystal paperweight and say that I want to give it away.

"I'm not going." Chunlu smiled cunningly, "The prince said that the study is heavy and you can't go in and out at will. Last time, Lan Zhen's eyesless hoof rushed to arrange flowers for the prince and was scolded. He didn't have the face to go out these days!"

Lan Qing came over and said, "Lazy girl, you can go or not. Where is this gossip?"

Chun Zhuofang regretted his loss of words and peeked at Shen Xuanji, but the smile on her face also faded. "Forget it, it's going to rain. She was originally here to do these things. Let her go." Shen Xuanji left half of the words. Xue Zhen had no intention of her to see what she could turn out!

Shen Coral got a lotus-colored Shanggong Yunjin and a flower box sent by Shen Xuanji, and just smiled faintly. He said "Princess Xie's reward" to the person who came to give the gift. After that, he returned to the house and closed the door tightly.

Shen Yuluo became more and more disappointed when she saw that she was so unaware of things. She is not strong by nature. Although she is sad, she just wants to make Shen Coral think about it, so she doesn't deeply persuade her.

In Shen Coral's view, her joys and sorrows are not taken seriously by the second sister. She was afraid at the bottom of her heart, but she didn't care about it. Instead, she put a needle in the seams to sow the gap and get closer to her aunt. Since then, the two sisters have had a knot.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Weifu, everyone was filled with several. Only Shen Yuluo did not drink and left the table early with Mrs. Ye. She did not return to the "Linlang Pavilion" and talked with Mrs. Ye in the inner room of Xuanxi Hall.

When Shen Coral returned to the "Linlang Pavilion" alone, she was already red and staggering, but the plain clothes around her were very sober and helped her go into the room.

Since that time, Juqing has been snolded by Shen Coral. He did not take her and was not allowed to stay in the room alone. Su Yi turned out to be young and impatient. She had been suppressed by Juqing for a long time. She had been unconvinced. Is there anyone who didn't fall into the well when she saw this situation? Fortunately, Juqing was a subordinate of Mrs. Ye. She was well-restrained. She only regarded her cynicism as a dog barking, and did not cause any trouble.

She was doing needle and threading in her room, but when she heard Shen Coral coming back, she hurried out.

"What's wrong with the three girls?" Seeing that Shen Coral was drunk, she had to come up to help her.

"Go away." Shen Coral pushed her, "I'm not your master. You don't have to pretend."

Juqing's eyes turned red, gritted her teeth and turned back to the house. When Shen Coral saw her like this, he was angry and said coldly behind her, "Well, if you have the ability, leave me. If you don't come in front of me, you can take advantage of it!"

Juqing pretended not to hear it and thought that it was necessary to go back to the old lady early tomorrow morning. Even if she offended the princess, she could not care about it. In this place, she no longer wanted to wait for a minute!

Shen Coral was helped into the room to sleep. As soon as she felt hazy for a while, she heard Suyi whisper in her ear, "Girl, girl, what your aunt said... Are you going?"

Shen Coral was still confused, "What aunt? Where are you going?

"Oh, girl, why have you forgotten?" Su Yi stamped her feet, "That's what my aunt said. Brother Yuan is in the back garden tonight. If the girl has the intention, she should change her clothes now." Shen Coral's heart jumped twice, and he was shocked and sweated coldly, and his wine was gone. She sat up and shouted in a low voice, "What are you talking about? What kind of distant brother?!"

Su Yi was shocked by her, peeped at her face, and saw a burst of red and blue. She wanted to stop talking, but a pair of heavy silver in her sleeves reminded her, and her smiling face appeared in front of her, "Good girl, talk to your girl in front of her. She is willing, and you will naturally have a good day in the future. My distant brother's character and talent, how can he not match your girl? When she becomes my daughter-in-law, isn't it much better for you two masters and servants to serve Brother Yuan together than everyone's slave now?

"I grew up with the girl and knew that the girl had been having a hard time. Although the princess was good, she was no longer in the house. The second girl and the little master are not close to the girl. Just like this time, the second girl clearly knows that the girl is unhappy, but she doesn't even ask more questions. It's really chilling to see. Su Yi said and quietly looked up at Shen Coral's reaction. "The people in the house are separated from us. If you want to say to the maidservant, it's time for the third girl to plan for herself."

"Besides," she saw that Shen Coral was slightly relaxed and smiled, "I remember that those talented and beautiful princes in the play were all met in the back garden and... with the girls!"

When Su Yi thought of Xiang Yuan's handsome face, she blushed and covered her mouth and smiled.

Shen Coral has been stirred by Su Yi's three words. She scolded Su Yi with a smile, "Faceless girl, did you say this casually?"

Seeing that she meant to go, she was about to get up and change her clothes when she saw Shen Coral's bitter face again, "It's so late, how can I go out casually?"

"Girl, don't worry!" Su Yi turned her eyes and said, "The maidservant just went to see it. The second girl has come back early. Now the light in the room is dark, and she must have fallen asleep early. My aunt told the maid during the day today that she went out through the back door, turned around the corridor, and went to the back garden, where there were always backs and no one would see them. When it comes to this, it seems that Shen Coral can't go. Su Yi was very enthusiastic. After running, she chose an amber skirt for Shen Coral and put on it. She put on the hairpin a little green hairpin sent by Shen Xuanji in the daytime, and put on her wrist to make her look bright and beautiful. When he was about to go out, Su Yi went to get a long lotus-blue cloak with a wind hat and put it on for Shen Coral. He held a "deadly wind" lamp in his hand. The master and servant crept out of the door, quietly pulled the door, and walked out of the "Linlang Pavilion" along the back door.

The moonlight of August 15 is as white as frost. I don't know whether it was cold at night or scared, Shen Coral trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand to tighten the collar of the cape. Su Yi lit the lamp in front of him and saw a pale yellow figure standing under the osmanthus tree from afar.

"Girl, look, that one is far away... Uncle Xiang's family?" Su Yi pointed to the figure, which was several times more excited than Shen Coral.

Shen Coral's legs and stomach are turning, "Sui, plain clothes, otherwise, shall we go back?"

"Girl!" Su Yi naturally didn't follow him and reached out to hold Shen Coral. "Since you're here, why do you have to leave so soon?"

Shen Coral grabbed the hand, but the plain clothes were more powerful than her. The two masters and servants were arguing, which shocked the distance.

Xiang Yuan stared at it and saw that one of them was beautiful and the other was delicate. In this water and moonlight, they were like immortals and nine-fold plain girls in the sky, and they unconsciously opened their mouths wide. Originally, he didn't care much about this matter. He couldn't stand the intimidation of crying, scolding and hanging up his aunt. However, as soon as he saw the character of Shen Coral's master and servant, he had already thrown those who were reluctant to go to Java. Seeing that Shen Coral was about to leave, he was not willing to let him go, so he hurried up with a few steps.

"Why hasn't my sister seen me yet? Is she leaving?" Xiang Yuanpi looks good and deliberately makes a romantic and elegant appearance. In the eyes of Shen Coral, who has never seen many foreign men, he can be regarded as Yushu Linfeng. When she saw him talking to herself with a slight smile, she suddenly blushed like the sunset glow and lowered her head and refused to speak.

Seeing her like this, he suddenly felt seven or eight points in his heart. He was a person who was used to polishing in pink, and it was simply easy to deal with Shen Coral, who was not a boudoir.

"Doesn't your feet hurt after walking for so long?" He pointed under the osmanthus tree, "Why don't you sit over there?"

Shen Coral didn't move, and Su Yi pulled her over vigorously. Xiang Yuan took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and spread it flat on the stone bench. "I'm afraid of dust, which will stain my sister's skirt."

Shen Coral was the first time to hear someone say such a thing, and her heart has moved slightly. Xiang Yuan added, "My sister's hairpin is very unique, which makes my sister more and more beautiful and refined, which is not comparable to ordinary vulgar powder."

If you say this to Shen Xuanji, it will inevitably lead her to say, "Have you seen many vulgar fans?" If it is heard by Shen Yuluo, Xiang Yuan will probably get nothing but a white eye. Unfortunately, Shen Coral is not them. Fortunately, Shen Coral is not them.

No woman doesn't like to listen to others praise her for being unique. Shen Coral's face turned red, and at least she opened her mouth, "I'm flattered for my cousin."

Xiang Yuan was secretly happy, and the more he said that he was familiar with the "vulgar powder". He was also a talent. At least in this compliment, he seemed very sincere and not the same. His efforts also paid off. At least when Shen Coral left, he smiled at him faintly. "It's getting late. It's not convenient for me to disturb you anymore. Now I'll go back."

Ah? Are you going back now? Although Xiang Yuan was disappointed, he still smiled and bowed his hand to Shen Coral, "The wind is smooth, sister must be careful."

Shen Coral walked a few steps with plain clothes and stopped again. Su Yi turned around and ran over and handed something to Xiang Yuan. "Mr. Xiang, this is my girl's. You have to keep it well. Don't lose it."

Looking down, it was Shen Coral's hand. He was overjoyed, but there was no reply for a moment. He took out a purse in his arms for a long time and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister."

Su Yi smiled and reached out to take it, "It's not ashamed to be so stingy!"

Xiang Yuan Taohua glanced at her face and took the opportunity to pinch her hand. Su Yi blushed, spat gently, and ran away.

Shen Coral naturally did not see this scene. When he returned to the "Linlang Pavilion" in order to avoid people and because of happiness, his face was still red.

"I'm scared to death. Fortunately, no one saw it." Su Yi pushed open the door and was about to light the lamp when he suddenly heard a cold female voice in the dark, "Where have you been?"
