On the contrariwise not long after Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan entered the Palace, the Shen residence sent someone to Shen Miao to invite her back for a visit Shen Miao was too lazy to care about those people, and directly instructed the servants to treat them as if they were not there After the Shen residence's people who ca without a reply, they indicated that it was just a , but by the end they started scolding Shen Xin and wife as cold, ruthless and unfilial descendants Luo Ling frohen he heard this and as Luo Tan had an impulsive character, she immediately rushed to the doors and scolded the Shen residence's people fiercely Luo Tan grew up in the Xiao Chun City debating with the young ladies, so naturally she was incomparably crafty with her words, and spoke of how the Shen family's people threw stones when one was down until those people froer Finally they could not withstand the surrounding coers of blas
After Shen Xin and the rest returned, Shen Miao informed him of thehis hands, and instructing Mo Qing to arrange uards in the residence's doors in the future He did not give any ened with Luo Tan's perspective, and she clapped her hands in cheer

I heard that the Qin country's people are born tall and huge and the Great Liang's Imperial family are incomparably beautiful One do not kno many can one see this time?”
Luo Xue Yan laughed in spite of oneself, “Our Ming Qi's people are not bad too If Tan-er adentleman in the tribute banquet, GuMu and GuFu can help you to inquire”
When Luo Tan heard about the topic of her lifetihted shy and even said, “I aest Sister had to seriously consider Biao Youngest Sister was not interested in those people in the Xiao Chun City, and there are est Sister is interested, one must first consider for yourself” She mischievously smiled at Shen Miao
Shen Miao swept her a glance and did not speak but it was Luo Ling, as sitting at the side, whose hands that were holding the chopsticks tightened, and his eyes were somewhat hesitant
When it was in the afternoon, a tailor really came over to make clothes for theiven hi them were a few bolts of excellent fabrics that could be used for clothes It was the late autumn, so Luo Xue Yan let the tailorLadies would have a fe pieces to wear, and even winter clothes were alsoLadies were dressed up glamorously
In fact, Luo Xue Yan did not do it intentionally as the tribute was aQi had to show their most prosperous side in front of the Qin country and the Great Liang, thus all the civil andwith their fa Qi's face Otherwise, one would be the biggest sinner under the Heavens
Luo Ling would also tag along This ti in the Ministry of Defence, this was for Luo Ling to train his ability Before this, naturally one had to bring Luo Ling to faues, so that there would be assistance in the future
In the three waiting days, Shen Miao would interestingly listen daily to Jing Zhe and Gu Yu, as they probed the events that happened within the three years that they were away (2 years plus travel ti Xian pawnshop, closed its doors shortly after Shen Xin left for the Xiao Chun City One did not knohy, but a few days back it then reopened, saying that the er went for a trip, and only returned shortly back to the Ding capital
Feng An Ning came to know that Shen Miao had returned, and sent a letter over saying that she wanted to personally look for her, but since they will be seeing each other during the Palace banquet, she did not need toalso send a letter to her It ritten in a crooked handwriting and also done behind his residence's back, as he had gotten his own servant to send it over, hter and tears
After accompany Luo Tan to the different restaurants boisterously, in an instant it was the day of the tribute
The Ming Qi's tribute was thethe bells of the southern
The street vendors were all discussing about this ulation, the commoners were unable to enter the Palace, and could only listen to the sounds and movements outside the Palace walls Majority of the people were envious of the Officials' faher ranked officials could even attend the tribute's banquet
Seeing the country's extravagant and ive others a false impression of peace and prosperity The commoners were often very siht that Ming Qi could last forever and pass down froenerations Only rarely, would smart people be able to see clearly that the eneue, and there were many internal worries, but in this precarious state, one only did enough on the surface How could it really be a situation when one could sit back and relax?
Shen Xin's carriage stopped at the front of the Palace's gates, and there was a nue in Luo Tan looked around curiously and Shen Qiu had to press her head down in case she offended any noble people Luo Ling appeared to be very co the Palace, he was incomparably proper
When the ceremony was about to start, almost all the civil and military officials were present Drums sounded and music were played as hundreds of cerenificent and illustrious
The Ehest seat and when Shen Miao looked over, Enified and o However if one were to look carefully, now he require the help of a GongGong to walk and his footsteps were not as strong as before, as he had grown older a lot
Fu Xiu Yi followed the rest of the Princes and stood at one side Now he had a fine appearance and was extreest of theated a nu Ladies to secretly look over Fu Xiu Yi after all was unable to hide his nificentness, and one expect that his older brother would not be at ease with him as they were initially
Shen Miao also looked towards the direction of Fu Xiu Yi, but the place in which her gaze landed was however behind Fu Xiu Yi, at a plainly dressedwas high and had a kind of alienating feel a the officials He did not look like an official but instead a scholar That person was Pei Lang
The place that Pei Lang stood was not far from Fu Xiu Yi, and in such occasion as this and with Fu Xiu Yi's cautious attitude, it obviously ave Pei Ling such a big respect Seeaze, Fu Xiu Yi suddenly looked over and Shen Miao's gazed moved and did not stop Fu Xiu Yi looked into the crowd for ahis head over
At the sitting area for guests, there was aBy late autumn, the weather was actually a little cold and those officials' daughters that were dressed up, would also wear a cloak to block the wind But this young feold dress with complicated embroideries, and such embroideries would require a year and a half to co female also had exquisite eyes, but her actions were not very respectful as when the official in charge of the cere, she turned a deaf ear and kept sweeping her eyes at the croithout a trace of respect at all
This young fe An Beside her, there was the Crown Prince of the Qin country, HuangFu Hao HuangFu Hao was better than Princess Ming An, and still smiled at the process on the state and did not show unbridled i Qi's tribute But it made others feel one's heart chilled under such a hypocritical smile
It was Luo Tan's first time to such an event so she felt novel about it, and naturally took noticed of the people at the noble guests' seats She thought for a hter beside her, and whispered when no one noticed, “Why is there only the Crown Prince and Princess of the Qin country, what about Prince Rui of the Great Liang?”
That Young Lady was caught unaware by Luo Tan and alh she was soood hness Prince Rui of the Great Liang is not feeling well, so he will not be co today”
Luo Tan was suddenly enlightened and looked towards Shen Miao She was standing by her side, and naturally would have heard the conversation between Luo Tan and that Young Lady Luo Tan said, “This Prince Rui's arrogance is really big Is this not intentionally e the Emperor?”
The Qin country's and the Great Liang's people caratulate, but at the end, Prince Rui did not appear at the cere a slap to the I Qi dared not get angry and not only that, they still lifted others with good food and drinks and this was all because in this world, the strong were respected and the Ming Qi dared not oppose the Great Liang

Luo Tan had always been aware of Shen Miao's is She was not one ill bite words and chew characters, but could not verbalise what this feeling exactly was, and only felt that Shen Miao was different fro Ladies in the Xiao Chun City Now at this place, there was an illusion that in such an awe-inspiring place Shen Miao was able to do it, it was the correct gesture to have Even the Eh position was no better as poised as Shen Miao was For a sixteen year old feesture, it was already very rare
Not only did Luo Tan noticed this, it seeradually been attracted by Shen Miao A the listless noble fe saw this and quietly turned sideways to cover Shen Miao with his body, so as to block those presumptuous eyes
When Luo Xue Yan saw this, she smiled at him Shen Miao was 's face slightly reddened as he turned his head over as if nothing had happened
