Fang Ruotang was completely bewildered. Urged on by Prince An's gaze, she stammered, "I understand! But... no rush, no rush, I'll arrange it later."
[You have to sleep with everyone before you can openly create a list of those who will serve you in bed!]
After muttering to herself, Fang Ruotang met the scrutinizing gazes of the three men. Her face turned as red as an apple. She looked up at the sky and down at the ground, trying to avoid looking at them any longer.
Compared to Ye Wuxia and Prince An's amused and exasperated feelings, the young prince breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had been under a lot of pressure lately, feeling that he had no advantage at all, and wondered when he would have the chance to take things further with Fang Ruotang.
Now, listening to Fang Ruotang's words, it's clear she's prepared to treat all six of them equally, which makes him feel somewhat fortunate.
It's like a struggling student knowing they have a safety net for a subject, meaning even if they do poorly, they can still pass. They feel a huge sense of relief and relax a bit.
Even if I'm sixth, it doesn't matter, as long as I can get on the bus.
This is the young prince's current state of mind.
We can talk about the rest later; at least we need to get our tickets first before discussing anything else.
After all, it's easy to guess what's on a young girl's mind. Because of his past reputation for being a womanizer, she's not really interested in him. If Xiao Jingzi hadn't mentioned him, she probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance.
This is why he understood why, before being reborn into this world, they chose to place the small mirror on Fang Ruotang instead of themselves.
Subsequently, Prince An also chose a residence.
Actually, all six houses are exactly the same, so there's not much to choose from.
Although General Huo and his men were not present and could not appear immediately, they sent someone over to take the key from Fang Ruotang as soon as they received word of it.
The mansion that had never been given away was completely divided up in just one day. The young prince and the Prince of An even summoned the steward in front of her and ordered the mansion to be renovated.
On the fifteenth, the Lantern Festival is held.
Events were held both inside and outside the palace.
Inside the palace, the emperor and his ministers enjoyed the lanterns and composed poems. Fang Ruotang, an illiterate man, was not interested in this. On the contrary, in the common people, lanterns and decorations were set off in the four directions around the Zhaixing Tower.
The lantern market, composed of lantern towers, lantern trees, and even lantern wheels reaching hundreds of feet in height, was even more spectacular than that inside the imperial palace.
Fang Ruotang made a token appearance in the palace before sneaking out with the Crown Prince and six others.
She wore a mask with fangs and a demonic face on her small face, which didn't look like something a little girl would like, but she felt that she had an amazing presence.
"We mustn't let the people recognize me today, otherwise, while they're enjoying the lantern festival, I'll become their object of admiration. And you all too! Make sure your masks are on properly so no one recognizes you."
The six princes were all outstanding in appearance. Even if they weren't associated with Fang Ruotang, any one of them would be the focus of attention for men and women on the street. Moreover, the things that the six of them had to talk about with the Grand Preceptor had spread to everyone in the capital.
Originally, the Crown Prince had sent someone to sing a beautiful love story praising his and Fang Ruotang's perfect match.
But Huo Zhige and his companions were not to be underestimated. They followed suit and hired a down-on-his-luck scholar who wrote storybooks to create a beautiful love story for them.
Six people, six versions.
When it reached the common people, it spawned at least thirty-six versions.
Each version has something in common.
The story is about the Imperial Preceptor Fang Ruotang, who is a high and mighty deity, and six men who are her most loyal followers, who follow her all the way, just to gain her favor.
The process was full of twists and turns, but the ending was always beautiful.
“I’m all dressed up. There are riddle-solving games ahead. Let’s go over and see if there are any lanterns you like. I’ll win one and give it to you.” Prince An adjusted his mask, walked up to Fang Ruotang, and swiftly reached out his hand, taking Fang Ruotang’s hand and leading her forward.
The other five had just put their masks on when they saw the two figures from behind. They all subconsciously raised an eyebrow and then followed them at a leisurely pace.
At the riddle stall, the vendor, seeing the imposing presence of the seven people and the guards behind them, cautiously asked, "Are you the Imperial Preceptor?"
Fang Ruotang's gaze was originally fixed on the lanterns, picking and choosing one that she liked best. Suddenly hearing this, she looked at the vendor and asked in confusion.
How did you recognize me?
"Hehe! There can only be one person with such elegance, the Grand Preceptor. It is my honor that the Grand Preceptor has graced my stall. Please take a look and see which one you like, and I will give it to you."
"No need, no need! Since you know my identity, you should know that I don't like to take advantage of ordinary people. Follow the rules, follow the rules." Fang Ruotang replied with a smile, pushing Prince An forward slightly.
"This is Prince An. Don't go easy on him. Give him the most difficult riddles to solve. He is very knowledgeable."
Prince An smiled helplessly and said to the vendor, "Give me a question!"
The vendors weren't very polite. Seeing the seven people like this, it was clear they didn't want to be recognized. They didn't kneel down to pay their respects, showing their anxiety.
After all, he was from the capital city and usually set up a stall in front of his house. After seeing the Grand Preceptor many times, even the stupidest person could tell that the Grand Preceptor was a kind and gentle person who never oppressed the people. Gradually, his feelings of respect and fear towards the Grand Preceptor turned into respect and love.
The riddles were always the same. The vendor presented one, and Prince An immediately answered it. Fang Ruotang also pointed to the lantern she had already chosen and said, "I want this one."
A beautiful rolling lantern, but not the most expensive one on the stall.
Seeing this, the vendor tried his best to recommend his prized possession to Fang Ruotang, but even after it was delivered to her, she didn't take it and just asked for a rolling lantern before leaving.
Each of these stalls has a gimmick to attract customers, but Fang Ruotang was too embarrassed to actually take one. Anyway, she liked them all and could have fun with them.
The group walked and stopped frequently, winning more and more lanterns in their hands.
When she saw the lion dance performance, Fang Ruotang, carrying a lantern, squeezed to the first spot like a fish. She watched the lion dancers perform energetically and clapped enthusiastically.
Just as she was feeling happy, Xiao Jingzi, who hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, suddenly spoke up.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! The talisman is about to fall!"
【Um? 】
Fang Ruotang was startled, her smile faded, and she anxiously pressed for answers.
[Where are these talismans from, and how long can they last?]
[The passage will be fully opened in a minimum of seven days and a maximum of one month.]
So fast.
Fang Ruotang immediately lost interest in playing. Turning around and seeing Ye Wuxia, she suddenly said, "I think three days from now is an auspicious day. I'll come to marry you. Is that alright?"
