No one was there to witness this scene from beginning to end, except for the eunuch with the bamboo pole.
The eunuch turned his head and glanced at the backs of the two of them. After leaning the bamboo pole against the tree, he followed behind the two. Everything appeared normal until he left this brightly lit place. Then this person’s image flickered and disappeared into the night.
By the water, not far from here, a group of noble ladies gathered around in groups of twos and threes. Some were standing, while others had squatted down with their skirts pooled around them. It wouldn’t be the Mid-Autumn Festival if they didn’t release any lotus lanterns.
Lotus lanterns of a variety of different colours, carrying candles and the wishes of the ladies, sailed away from the shore and drifted into the distance. The numerous lotus lanterns floating on the water were a stunning sight to behold.
“Ying’er, have you seen seventh sister? I haven’t seen her in a while,” said Wang Shuyan.
Wang Shuying shook her head and asked, “Sister, why do you care about her?”
Wang Shuyan didn’t agree with her thoughts. “In the end, she’s still our father’s daughter and our older sister. This is the palace and not somewhere random. If something happened, we would also be implicated.”
A noblewoman standing not far away seemed to have heard them talking and said, “Are you looking for the seventh young miss of the Wang Family? I saw her head that way earlier.”
The sisters’ gazes followed the direction that the woman pointed at. It was a dimly lit corridor.
When the two sisters first arrived at Chengrui Pavilion, they observed the surrounding terrain. From what they could remember, this corridor seemed to lead to the west of the Imperial Garden, that is, the Fubi Pavilion.
Wang Shuying pulled Wang Shuyan aside and found a corner where no one was around. “Sister, if I’m not mistaken, she must have gone to meet in private with her lover.”
Wang Shuyan smacked her and whispered, “Don’t speak nonsense.”
Wang Shuying’s eyes were bright, and she seemed very excited. “Sister, did you know that father said she behaves indecently, causing all the princes to scramble for her hand in marriage. Grandfather wants to marry her off quickly, to avoid bringing disaster onto the family”
“Who did you hear that from?” Wang Shuyan’s eyes were uncertain.
