Chapter 10
When Danyu, the servant girl beside Zhao Dan'e, came to pass on the visit of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, Shen Xinmeng was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Yingxia skillfully tied up a bun with a sapphire beaded tassel on it. .

Hearing the name of the Eighth Prince Xiao Lang, Shen Xinmeng couldn't help but frowned.She remembered that she had no intersection with Xiao Lang in her previous life.Although he and Xiao Yi are brothers, they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.At this time, the future King An Yi and Xiao Yi came to visit the General's Mansion together, the intention of which is really puzzling.

Thinking back to the day on the outing, she had offended Xiao Lang with her words, but she had already apologized in person.If he wanted to settle accounts after the fall, he would be a bit petty and lose the demeanor of a prince.

Shen Xinmeng got up, lightly moved lotus steps around in a circle, looked at her outfit through the bronze mirror, the white brocade top was paired with a blue cherry blossom chest-length skirt, and a nude pink tulle cloak was loosely wrapped around her arms. Coupled with clear light makeup, the whole person looks elegant and graceful, generous and decent.

She bent her lips in satisfaction, looked back at Danyu who lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, waiting for a reply, and asked lightly: "Madam, did you send someone to call the second young miss?"

"Back to the eldest lady, the madam also sent someone to invite the second lady to the front hall to receive guests." Danyu quickly raised her eyes, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.The eldest lady is not only beautiful in person, but also has a good temperament, with a frown and a smile like a fairy in the world.

"I see, you report to Madam first, I'll be there later." After dismissing Danyu, Shen Xinmeng was not in a hurry to go to the front hall, but sat on the soft couch in front of the window, leaning on the window sill with her arms bent , with her small chin resting on her palm, stared at a clump of lush green bamboos outside the window for a long time without blinking.

"Miss should go to the front hall, it's not good to neglect the prince." Ying Xia couldn't help reminding.

Shen Xinmeng withdrew her gaze, and slowly turned her head back: "Let Yinping go over to see if the second lady has arrived, and what the wife, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince are doing. Tell her to act quietly, so as not to disturb others."

"Yes." Even though he didn't know the intention of the eldest lady, Ying Xia left the room and told Yin Ping to follow the order of the eldest lady to investigate in the front hall.

After less than a stick of incense, Yin Ping came back and told the story of the front hall: "When the maidservant went to the front hall, the second lady had already arrived and was accompanying the madam to entertain the seventh and eighth princes. Later, The madam felt a little sleepy, so the second lady offered to accompany the seventh and eighth princes to the back garden to enjoy the scenery. When the slaves came back, the second lady and the two princes had already left for the back garden."

Just after Yinping finished reporting, Danyu arrived again, and after saluting to Shen Xinmeng, she said, "Madam, please go to the back garden to entertain the two princes."

This time, Shen Xinmeng was very cheerful and took Yingxia to the back garden.As if she had a premonition, as soon as she entered the circular arch in the back garden, she signaled Ying Xia to keep quiet, and walked lightly, walking quickly through the flowers and willows to the depths of the garden.

Sure enough, under the peach tree, a man and a woman were talking face to face, seemingly intimately.

The woman with her back facing Shen Xinmeng was wearing a rose red skirt with a hundred butterflies sprinkled with gold and a skirt with a light pink collar. It was Shen Yunluo.At this time, she raised her small face slightly, her elongated fair neck was gracefully curved, coupled with her lovely and charming smile, she was extremely attractive.

However, Xiao Yi, who was standing opposite her, didn't have a heart of sympathy and sympathy, and frowned with a look of impatience.

The back garden of the General’s Mansion used to have no water. Ten years ago, Shen Ji ordered people to dig a circular pool one and a half feet deep and five feet in diameter, and stocked more than ten koi for ornamental purposes. Six peach trees were planted by the water.Now the peach trees have grown up, and the flowers on the branches are in full bloom. Looking from a distance, they look like red clouds, which contrast with the koi swimming in the water.

Shen Xinmeng stared coldly at Shen Yunluo and Xiao Yi across the pool. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty.The breeze blew the peach blossoms above their heads, and two or three petals fell on Xiao Yi's shoulders and Shen Yunluo's black hair.This picture should be pleasing to the eye, but it just has an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Shen Yunluo leaned forward, eagerly expressing her love.And Xiao Yi's face became more and more ugly, and he subconsciously folded his arms around his chest, forming a gesture of resistance.

It's a pity that Shen Yunluo didn't know how to read people's faces. When it came to excitement, she reached for Xiao Yi's waist with her slender hands, trying to tie the flying fish jade pendant on his belt.

Xiao Yi raised his left eyebrow, and was about to step back to avoid Shen Yunluo's move, when his gaze suddenly caught Shen Xinmeng standing on the opposite bank, and with a thought, his arm moved forward without hesitation.

Before Shen Yunluo's fingertips touched Xiao Yi's robe, she was pushed back two steps.She stood with her back to the pool, only two steps away from the water.With this retreat, the embroidered shoes stepped on the edge of the pool, half of which was suspended in the air, so naturally he could not stand firmly.He swayed his body twice, and waved his hands in an attempt to balance his body.

If Xiao Yi was willing to lend a helping hand at this time, Shen Yunluo would naturally be fine.But, Shen Xinmeng will not let this happen!
"Sister!" Shen Xinmeng exclaimed at the right time, raised her feet and ran forward, seemingly unable to hold back her feet, and wanted to rush into the pool.

She was betting on the importance of being the daughter of the General's Mansion in Xiao Yi's heart.Shen Yunluo dared to covet the position of the seventh prince and concubine, so she let Shen Yunluo see Xiao Yi's ruthlessness with her own eyes.

"Miss Shen, be careful!" Xiao Yi wanted to come to rescue him, but unfortunately he was too far away.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunluo fell into the pool on her back with a plop, her back hit the water, splashing three feet high.A few koi nearby were startled and swam away.

Shen Xin dreamed that Xiao Yi really abandoned Shen Yunluo, she sneered secretly, and was about to stop when suddenly a gust of wind rushed from the side, her eyes dazzled, and a white figure blocked in front of her.She was startled, her hands and feet became uncoordinated in a panic, and she slammed into the white shadow.The nose suddenly became sour, and the tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"Eight Emperor Brother?" Xiao Yi, who flew over, stopped abruptly, and frowned when he saw Xiao Lang who appeared suddenly.Xiao Lang intercepted the door-to-door kick.It was only a small step away, and he was the one with the beautiful woman in his arms.

Shen Yunluo got up from the one-foot-high water and turned to look at Shen Xinmeng.Her dress and hair were completely soaked, and the water on her palm-sized face was not sure whether it was pool water or tears. The smudged makeup made her facial features hideous, and her eyes were burning with jealousy and anger.

How is Shen Xinmeng better than her?The person who fell into the water was obviously her, Shen Yunluo, but the two noble princes rushed to save Shen Xinmeng.One day, she not only wants to get Xiao Yi, but also tramples Shen Xinmeng under her feet.

"Oh, Brother Seventh Emperor, why did you let Second Miss Shen fall into the water?"

When the joking voice came over, Shen Yunluo was startled, seeing Xiao Yi turned to look at her, she quickly bent her lips into a smile, matched with her current appearance, it was uglier than crying.
