Chen Ruoqiu’s face was livid. Wasn’t Shen Xin praising Shen Miao just to make her look hypocritical? Shen Wan’s expression was also a little dark, and Shen Yue was already furious, but she suppressed her anger and did not mock Shen Miao.

Concubine Wan thought that Shen Miao was helping her, so a trace of joy appeared on her face. When Shen Dongling saw this, she shook her head slightly. Shen Yuan still had no expression on his face while Shen Gui pretended not to know.

“Then let’s go to Wanli Lake,” Luo Xueyan said. She was used to being a female general, so it was natural for her to give orders. No matter how unwilling the Shen family was to go there, they had no choice but to follow along because the guards were from the Shen army.

Wanli Lake was located in the west of the center of the capital. The entire lake was embedded in the center of the city. In spring, it was like a piece of jade. In winter, when the snow fell, the lake would be covered in a thin layer of snow, looking quite ethereal.

There was snow today. Under the light of countless lanterns, the snow was like crystal clear jade flowers that fell from the sky. The willow trees by the lake were all covered in snow. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether they were in reality or in a dream.

!!

Before they reached the lake, they heard the sound of fireworks. They looked up and saw that in the dark night, a grand firework show was playing, dazzling their eyes. Below in the crowd, lovers were holding hands, and families had a smile on their faces. They were all looking up at the fireworks, wanting the time to stop at this moment.

“Miss, Miss, look.” Jingzhe said excitedly, “That’s the firework. I heard that the fireworks will be on all night!”

“It’s really beautiful,” Gu Yu muttered.

“Ha, the capital is really prosperous.” Shen Qiu said to Luo Xueyan, “It’s much more fun than the Northwest desert.”

Luo Xueyan sighed as she walked.

As they walked on, they suddenly saw the crowd around them running forward. Shen Xin grabbed a man who was running past him and asked, “Brother, what’s over there? Why is everyone running forward?”

“Fairy Jade Rabbit is here!” That person said, “Everyone is going to see Fairy Jade Rabbit!” He glanced at Shen Xin and suddenly said, “Brother, are you new here? This year, Fairy Jade Rabbit is played by Miss Liu Ying from the Treasure Fragrance Chamber. Brother, hurry up and go!” With that, he ran away happily.

Shen Xin turned around and heard Luo Xueyan say indifferently, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to see Miss Liu Ying.”

“Madam, what are you talking about?” Shen Xin wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Seeing you is enough. Miss Liu Ying is definitely not as beautiful and generous as you.”

Since they were already here, Luo Xueyan would not ruin everyone’s mood. Just as they squeezed through the crowd, they suddenly heard someone shout, “Miss Liu Ying is here! Miss Liu Ying is here!”

Shen Miao was too short to see what was happening, so Shen Qiu pulled her to the stone platform at the side and lifted her on it. He stood beside Shen Miao. Shen Miao looked up and saw a carriage surrounded by people.

In the winter, this flower carriage was actually filled with flowers, which was enough to show how much effort they put into this festival. The flowers were colorful, and for a moment, she felt like everything was unreal, but at this moment, she saw the person inside the carriage.

It was a young woman who was wearing a moon-white cotton dress and a velvet cloak. Her hair was combed into a bun, making her look like a fairy. She had beautiful eyebrows and teeth that were like a jade. The most attractive thing about her was the pair of long and narrow eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, making her look more charming for some reason. She was cold and tempting, as if with her arrival, the wind around her also became fragrant.
