Xiao Xuan'er hesitated for a long time and then said: "Recently, a troupe came to the capital. They said they were invited to celebrate the wedding of King Yuning and Princess Wuqing."
Fang Zilan looked solemn, "Who are you inviting me to?"
"This is the strange thing." Xiao Xuan'er frowned slightly, "The class leader refused to tell, and Qianjinfang couldn't find it."
If you can't find someone even after using Qianjinfang's power, it's very likely that he's just a cover-up.
Xiao Xuan'er had obviously thought of it, and she said quietly: "This troupe is called Qing Chao, and it is quite famous in the capital. The troupe leader is a very beautiful actress. It is said that she has her own troupe after ten years in the industry. From now on, I will work behind the scenes and vow to never go on stage again in my life."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean, this time is the class leader himself going on stage to sing the congratulations?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er nodded and said: "The class leader said that Prince Yuning and Princess Wuqing have a distinguished status, and it will only be complete if she takes the stage in person."
"Perfection?" Fang Zilan repeated the word, feeling a little inconsistent for some reason. She asked thoughtfully, "What was Ji Ningtian's reaction?"
"I didn't agree at first, saying that the Qingchao Troupe was so famous that it was not easy for the labor class leader to take over." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, she saw a flash of disdain in Fang Zilan's eyes, "The leader of a theater troupe, if he is not invited, They can't even enter the palace, this reason is too far-fetched."
"So later, the class leader took the Qingchao class to personally ask for peace outside Prince Yuning's palace, and Prince Yuning had to agree." Xiao Xuan'er's voice weakened, and Fang Zilan calmed down and said: "So, Qingchao Did Ben come uninvited?"
Xiao Xuan'er shook her head, "I don't think so. If the class leader had colluded with King Yuning in advance, there is no way he would act in front of the people in the capital."
"It's not impossible." Fang Zilan said, as if remembering something, and asked: "What is the name of the class leader of Qingchao class?"
"Happy face." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, Fang Zilan subconsciously raised her hands to cover her head. Intermittent images flashed in her mind. There was a little girl calling "Sister Yan". That was her.
"I'm not looking for you, it's Mr. Fang who wants to see you." Fang Zilan pursed her lips after saying, "I asked Miss Xiao to invite you over without asking you. You..."
She didn't say anything further, but Ah Shi curved the corners of his lips and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter, since Mr. Fang wants to see me, then just meet me." When he spoke, he looked at Fang Zilan with his bright eyes, showing indescribable concentration. serious.
Fang Lihui looked thoughtfully at the young man in front of him, and then glanced at Fang Zilan. He had some calculations in his mind, stood up and saluted, "Master Fang, I have a merciless request."
Fang Zilan didn't speak, and Fang Lihui continued talking to himself, "I would like to ask Young Master Ah to come with me to stay in Fang Mansion for three days. After three days, he will decide whether to stay in Fang's house. I wonder if Mr. Fang agrees? "
"Ah Shi is free to come and go, I will not be his master." Fang Zilan said calmly, Ah Shi opened his mouth to speak but stopped, "Master Fang, I..."
"It doesn't matter, you can make your own decision." Fang Zilan softened her tone, with obvious encouragement and comfort in her eyes.
Hearing this, Ah Shi seemed to feel relieved, but before he could speak, Fang Lihui said, "Young Master, don't be too busy rejecting me."
Ah Shi was stunned, and gave Fang Lihui the opportunity to follow his instructions, "Ah, young master, our Fang family has been in business for generations, and we have always had our own skills in accounting. If you come here, you will definitely learn a lot, even if you are three It won’t be a loss if you don’t stay in the future, right?”
Seeing that Ah Shi was wavering, Fang Lihui put away the folding fan and continued: "With your ability, the more you learn, the more you can help Mr. Fang. Aren't you willing?"
"I do." Ah Shi blurted out, then realized what he had said and suddenly covered his mouth.
Fang Lihui raised his eyebrows and raised his lips with a charming smile. Seeing this, Ah Shi slowly put down his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "As long as I can help Mr. Fang, I am willing to do anything."
It was a very light sentence, but it revealed unspeakable firmness. When the young man raised his eyes to look at Fang Zilan again, there was an edge that was determined to win in his eyes.
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought it was her illusion. Just as she was about to analyze it carefully, the young man had already curbed his sharpness and was still as obedient as before.
Fang Lihui took in the whole scene, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He held out his folding fan to cover it up a little, "Since Young Master Ah Shi has agreed, if Mr. Fang has no objection, I will take him away today."
Li Shengxuan was choked and couldn't speak for a while. After a while, he finally said calmly: "I just..."
He opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the worried words behind him.
Worrying about powerlessness is nothing but hypocrisy.
Fang Zilan waited for a long time, but when he saw that he had nothing to say, she couldn't help but ask: "Just what?"
Even she found it funny as soon as the words came out of her mouth. What on earth was she expecting?
Li Shengxuan was silent and said to herself: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Houyan? When your Majesty's old troops were dying in the Wind River Valley with their eyes open, I understood that your Majesty could not help himself. This is true for the Xiahou family, even more so. Not to mention me?"
Li Shengxuan looked gloomy and opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute, but in the end no sound came out.
He allowed Fang Zilan to continue speaking, listening to her every word as if she was mocking herself, "Actually, who in the world has no worries? It's just that I'm unwilling to do so. Your Majesty, you don't have to care..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a loud bang.
Hearing the sound, the two of them looked up and looked out the window at the same time, only to see gorgeous fireworks burning across the sky, occupying their entire sight.
Exhausted fireworks continued to slide down, and more dazzling fireworks continued to light up the night sky. One after another, the scenery is colorful and dizzying.
Fang Zilan stared at it for a while, then lowered her eyes and whispered: "The New Year's Eve palace banquet is about to begin. Your Majesty is still busy, so don't pay attention to me anymore. I will leave the palace right now."
Li Shengxuan did not try to persuade her to stay, but just watched her leaving figure quietly. He suddenly felt that the fireworks in the sky were so dull and tasteless, and they were not as dazzling as the one she set off in the Wind River Valley.
Fang Zilan left the palace and stopped for a long time to watch the fireworks on Zhuque Street. Her hands and feet were numb from the cold, but she still stood still.
In the bustling scene with constant traffic and traffic, she was so silent that she seemed to be incompatible with everything around her.
At the beginning, she only felt that the world was indifferent, so during the fireworks in Wind River Valley, she vowed to be her own light.
Later she watched fireworks many times.
However, under that majestic light, she only felt as if she were in an ice cave, getting colder and colder.
After all, you can't help yourself.
