"Stop!" Fang Zilan interrupted Chu Bin's report impatiently, "How could they make up such baseless words?"
"If you want to blame Master Fang, you can only blame him for being too brave." Xiao Xuan'er covered her face and chuckled, "If it weren't for Master Fang's outstanding military achievements and the peace and happiness in recent years, the people would not be so carefree."
Fang Zilan curled her lips, and without waiting to say anything, she heard A Wan say while eating melon seeds: "But I think it's not unfounded..."
"What did you say?" Fang Zilan turned around and looked over. Awan quickly dropped the melon seed peel and waved her hand: "Nothing!"
Fang Zilan stared at Awan suspiciously, her eyes wandering, glancing at Chu Bin, Xiao Xuan'er and Mo Han from time to time, as if she was hesitant to speak.
"Sister Lan, I want to give the implementation of the new law a try." Mo Han calmly changed the subject. Fang Zilan glanced at him, "Mo Han, what did Awan mean by what he just said? What does it mean to not be indifferent? Unfounded?"
Seeing that she was unmoved, Mo Han pursed his lips and said, "Rumors only stop for wise people, not to mention that falsehoods can never become true. I want to let it dry for a while, and there will be new things to say, and they will not be mentioned again... "
He hesitated and did not continue. Seeing this, Awan said helplessly: "Forget it, can't I say it? It's not a big deal. His Majesty secretly visited you a few times when you were unconscious."
secretly? Several times? Fang Zilan felt a buzzing sound, and the blood all over her body rushed to her forehead, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"That's not because you can't stand the excitement..." A Wan muttered in a low voice, and Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "How many times has your Majesty been here?"
Awan clasped her fingers and counted again and again, "Let me think about it, there was one time on the first night of the first grade of junior high school after His Majesty learned that you were poisoned. And then on the third grade of junior high school..."
"That's enough." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan almost resignedly, "In that case, I don't think it's without reason for Yu Shi Shen, let them go."
The rehearsal time of the social opera is set after noon every day. The two of them arrived a little late. The other young masters from the aristocratic families had already performed the social opera once and were resting at this time.
That's why the two of them stepped into the gate of Lianhua Palace. Before they entered the palace, they heard someone inside saying angrily: "It's just that Mr. Fang's new official has been busy with government affairs, so he never showed up once. How come the second son of the Zhuge family never showed up either?" What's going on? If things continue like this, how can we continue to schedule social dramas?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan looked at Zhuge Yu. The suppressed smile on her face made him look more helpless. He raised his hand to signal her to go in, but she stood leisurely by the wall with no intention of going in at all.
As soon as the man in the palace finished speaking, someone from the other side helped: "Don't talk about the second young master of the Zhuge family, haven't we only met the young master of the Wei family once? It's really hard to invite a celebrity in front of your majesty. .”
Wei family? Fang Zilan looked at Zhuge Yu subconsciously, but saw that the expression on his face was a little lighter, and there was no expression on his face.
She thought for a moment and was about to go in when she heard a voice coming from the front door of the palace, "Master Fang, Master Zhuge, you two are finally here."
The two of them looked back and saw that the person speaking was none other than Li Qiyou. But the person standing next to him was actually Wei Subaru.
"I came here to take a look when I have free time today. It's not easy to ask the prince to invite you all the time." Fang Zilan smiled slightly and spoke politely and distantly.
Li Qiyou knew that he had tricked Fang Zilan, so he had to smile awkwardly to save his face.
Wei Subaru raised his eyebrows happily, "Master Fang, Master Zhuge, we meet again."
Zhuge Yu's face was cold and his voice was a little deeper, "What are you doing here, Lord Wei?"
"My useless little nephew caught the cold and was bedridden. Only I, the uncle, came to take his place." Wei Subaru said calmly. Zhuge Yu snorted and stopped answering. The scene suddenly changed. Somewhat embarrassing.
Li Qiyou was in a dilemma, so he forced himself to smooth things over and said, "Since everyone is here, you might as well go into the palace to talk about anything you have to say."
"Okay." Fang Zilan took the lead and strode into the palace gate. Zhuge Yu followed her and ignored the two people standing in the courtyard.
Li Qiyou asked for trouble and said no more, and entered the Lianhua Palace with Wei Subaru.
After Fang Zilan and Zhuge Yu entered the palace, the noisy palace suddenly fell silent. The young masters from various aristocratic families looked at each other, with some expressions on their faces being shocked, some stunned, and most of them wary.
It wasn't until Pei Xiaoze came out to break the deadlock that their expressions gradually returned to normal, but they still couldn't stop whispering.
Pei Xiaoze walked up to the two of them calmly and said, "Master Fang, Mr. Zhuge, I haven't seen you for many days. Are you okay?"
"Thanks to Mr. Pei for your help, everything is fine." Fang Zilan smiled, no longer just being polite.
Zhuge Yu also nodded politely and said, "Thank you, Lord Pei. I'm thinking about you."
As soon as the two of them said hello to Pei Xiaoze, Li Qiyou and Wei Subaru walked in, and the hall became extremely quiet.
After Li Qiyou explained Wei Subaru's intention, the hall was in an uproar.
No one expected that Lord Wei Subaru, who was guarding the capital with heavy troops, would also come to rehearse the New Year's social drama.
"What's so rare this year? Not only did Master Fang and a woman appear on stage, but Master Wei also came to rehearse the social drama?"
"Yes, it makes sense that Mr. Fang is new here, but Mr. Wei, with his status, is actually here to rehearse a social drama."
"The new rich are very popular. With Lord Wei and Lord Fang and other famous people in front of His Majesty here, we are not worth mentioning in the social drama..."
The young masters of the aristocratic family who used to just whisper to each other have now become more and more violent and have turned into gesticulating as if no one else is watching.
Li Qiyou, standing in the center of the crowd, heard the words around him clearly, and his face could not help but turn blue and purple.
He was about to say something to break the situation, when he heard Fang Zilan say loudly: "Since you all have time to chat, it must have been rehearsed. So why not tell me, how is this social opera rehearsed?"
Every word she said was neither humble nor arrogant, but it conveyed an indescribable coolness, as if she was the one watching the fun.
For a moment, all the voices in the palace were silenced by her words. Everyone was trembling and no one dared to speak casually again.
Then she turned to Li Qiyou and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Li Qiyou knew that the only reason he could preside over the overall situation here was because of his status as a relative of the Yucheng Emperor, and there were many people present who were dissatisfied with him. Now that Fang Zilan had given him the steps, of course he had to go down the steps, and it was not easy to refute her face and put himself on the fire.
He immediately said loudly: "What Mr. Fang said is that the rehearsal of social opera is not a day's work. It is better for you to put more thoughts and energy on social opera."
