Fang Zilan did not break away from his hand, but lightly tapped the document she was holding down with her fingers, "Ayu, this is last month's report. You put it in the wrong place."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yuwu spontaneously let go of his hand and took out the document that was under Fang Zilan's hand. He held the document in his hand and composed himself, speechless for a long time.
Fang Zilan looked at the document he was holding tightly. The thin wrinkles spread from the place where his palm exerted force. The wrinkled texture concealed twists and turns of his mind. She said with determination, "A Yu, there is something on your mind."
Zhuge Yu remained silent and did not speak. Fang Zilan reached out and grabbed the other corner of the document, "If you don't want to tell, you might as well let me guess."
She looked as if nothing had happened and used her hands secretly, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me participate in the New Year's social drama, right?"
Zhuge Yu's fingers loosened a little, and the document fell into her hand, with obvious finger marks on it.
"If this is the case, please tell your majesty, Ayu." Fang Zilan ran her fingers over the folds, stretched the paper with a little force, and the folds became lighter, "I will not leave anyone behind in the New Year's social drama. Even if I pretend to be a monster, I must be the only one in history."
Zhuge Yu's expression relaxed a little, "It's not that I don't believe you. But Sister Lan, you also need to know that this matter is not a child's play. The nine princes were awarded the title in front of everyone in the court, but you were awarded the title of Duke of Yue. Only His Majesty's imperial edict is known to the world. Despite His Majesty's eloquent words, there are rumors in the capital that you have been criticized. Why do you need to act in a social drama with the dignity of a minister and make people laugh? Your Majesty intends to ask you to escort you during the spring hunting. As you cross the country The public’s first public appearance shocked the world.”
"If someone deliberately humiliates me, even if I don't participate in the social drama, there are still other traps waiting for me, which I can't avoid." Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, "Who is behind the scenes? No one is talking about it? How others talk about it, I I can’t control it. What’s more, it was the same when I was granted the title of Duke of the Northern Kingdom and went to the north. It was just a piece of edict. I’m used to it and I don’t care.”
"Sister Lan said this, but she still holds a grudge?" Zhuge Yu frowned slightly as if he was dissatisfied, and Fang Zilan chuckled, "Your Majesty, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, so how dare I hold a grudge? To me, these false gifts are nothing. It doesn’t matter, as long as we hold real power, that’s enough.”
"Do you have real power?" Zhuge Yu repeated this sentence in a low voice without saying more.
Fang Zilan put her Chinese books in place, then looked at Zhuge Yu and said, "It's rare that I have free time today. It's still early, A Yu, would you like to accompany me to see how the social opera is being rehearsed? In case King Yucheng comes to visit every day and disturbs the peace."
Zhuge Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "That's fine."
"Isn't my follower A Yu?" Fang Zilan took out the playbook doubtfully. Before he could find the character introduction, Wei Subaru explained with a smile: "Master Fang, you are playing the role of an unprecedented great demon. There is only one How can I do this as a follower?"
The corners of Fang Zilan's mouth twitched unconsciously, and she hurriedly opened the script.
The impressive character introduction made Fang Zilan feel her scalp numb. After getting the script, she only glanced at it briefly. Now that she took a closer look, she realized that the evil spirit she played was a great evil through the ages, with many evil deeds. Killing villains that are not enough to make the people angry.
As an eternal demon, she has many followers, and there are three or five of them who can be named in the play.
In addition to Zhuge Yu and Wei Subaru, Fang Zilan scanned the page and saw the names Pei Xiaoze, Ouyang Juncheng, and Wang Xianhui, which made her frown slightly.
Whether it was a coincidence or something, she had almost all the people she knew in Beijing, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Speaking of these people, they are almost all at the forefront of the new rich.
Needless to say, she caused a lot of uproar in the world when she first entered the battlefield and dismounted the Shangguan family and was granted the title of Duke of the Northern Kingdom. Now that she has returned to Beijing, she is also attracting everyone's attention.
Zhuge Yu, who had never shown any prominence but became Li Shengxuan's right-hand man, was only in name in her government office and had no real power so far.
Although Wei Subaru was born in the Wei family of the Gongqing family, he was never reused because his biological mother was a barbarian slave girl. He was blessed with military merit and did not reach the position of commander of the capital until Li Shengxuan ascended the throne.
As for Ouyang Juncheng, despite being the son of the Ouyang family, he had little status in the declining Ouyang family. On the contrary, he became closer to the Wang family after marrying Shangguan Lingyuan.
But this Wang Xianhui... Fang Zilan looked at the young man walking towards them thoughtfully, with reluctance written all over his face. He was the one who had just made the attack in public.
Fang Zilan's frown deepened and she simply turned her gaze to Zhuge Yu, only to see him looking like he had known about it for a long time.
She was about to say something when she heard him approach her and whisper: "Wang Xianhui is the son of Lord Wang Quanrui."
Fang Zilan was a little dazed and asked uncertainly, "The younger brother of Lord Wang Quanzhi of the North, Lord Wang Quanrui?"
Zhuge Yu nodded imperceptibly, Fang Zilan pursed her lips into a straight line, and her expression gradually darkened.
Now Wang Quanzhi has become the Duke of Beiguo in her place, and Wang Quanzhi's younger brother Wang Quanrui is a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother. The Wang family is so powerful that even the younger generations dare to demonstrate against her.
Wang Xianhui opened his mouth hesitantly, as if he wanted to greet a few people, but not a word came out.
Pei Xiaoze was a friendly person and took a step forward to greet him: "Mr. Wang, everyone is here now. We have to cheer up."
Wang Xianhui hummed stiffly, but Wei Subaru snorted: "Young Master Wang has such a big air."
His call of "Prince's Young Master" made Wang Xianhui's face turn red and he was eager to go forward to argue.
On the side, Ouyang Juncheng quickly held down Wang Xianhui. Just as he was about to say a few words of persuasion, he saw the corners of Wei Subaru's eyes raised and he smiled frivolously, "What do you want to say, Mr. Ouyang?"
When Ouyang Juncheng opened his mouth, the word "I" was stuck in his throat, his face was pale and pale, and he finally swallowed the words whole.
Zhuge Yu said calmly: "Master Wei is a new man, but he doesn't have to suppress others everywhere."
His light words made Wei Subaru suppress his smile and said coldly: "The son of Meng Yin's ancestor has done nothing for the country and is of no use to the world. How can he be worthy of being called a great man?"
"Master Wei, what you said is wrong." Pei Xiaoze shook his head, stood up and smoothed things over: "If you are born between heaven and earth, you must have talents, but their functions are only great or small. How can they be useless?"
"Master Pei's words make sense." Wei Subaru took a deep look at Pei Xiaoze. In the past, he didn't often deal with the powerful people in the court. His impression of the Pei family was that the head of the family, Pei Jueqing, was gloomy and ruthless. He didn't expect that the Pei family could have such an upright gentleman as Pei Xiaoze.
