Fang Ruotang obediently shut up and stopped discussing with the little mirror. Instead, she waved to Wenren Ya, signaling her to come over.
Wenren Ya was no more than fifteen years old, with an apple-shaped face and a youthful appearance.
Encouraged by her mother, she nervously walked up to Fang Ruotang and greeted him in a low voice, "Greetings, Grand Preceptor."
Fang Ruotang smiled amicably, first uttering her signature phrase, before saying, "Your abilities are somewhat special, so please use them with extreme caution. If they are exploited by bad people, it could have serious consequences. Also, remember to remind people after you give them your blessings that they should do good deeds and accumulate merit. The simplest way is to provide porridge and other charitable services to the poor, understand?"
Wenren Ya looked at Fang Ruotang with admiration.
Even though she's only a year older than me, she knows more than me.
"Grand Preceptor, may I stay and serve you?" Wenren Ya asked impulsively, her face turning red as she finished speaking.
She remembered that when Li Shiyun was left with the Imperial Preceptor, her mother held her and sighed, wishing she could have such good fortune.
Upon suddenly seeing the Imperial Advisor, and hearing her kind words of advice, she couldn't help but blurt out what was on her mind.
Fang Ruotang was a little surprised. "You also want to come and serve me? No need. Your fate is special. You can live a good life without my protection."
Wenren Ya looked ashamed, as if Fang Ruotang had exposed her secret.
Her mother mentioned that she had come to serve the Imperial Advisor, naturally in order to gain her protection. She felt that she was a very scheming person.
"If you don't dislike her, you can keep her here," the Crown Prince suddenly whispered in Fang Ruotang's ear.
Fang Ruotang blinked in confusion, but trusting the Crown Prince, she didn't ask any further questions and simply said, "If you're willing, you can."
Wenren Ya immediately put aside her unease and excitedly said, "I do."
Fang Ruotang chuckled, "You're so cute."
Wenren Ya pursed her lips shyly. Seeing that Fang Ruotang didn't say anything more, she knew she shouldn't stay and bother her any longer.
"I have already acquired land in the suburbs and will soon begin construction of our sect. You will be the sect leader of our sect, and you can take in any talented disciples you see."
"Huh?" Fang Ruotang had no idea about this, and then asked in surprise, "Me, the sect leader? Shouldn't it be the emperor?"
"Besides you, is anyone else qualified? Father has no objection, and he doesn't want to deal with these mundane matters. Let him be a nominal elder."
Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded, "I don't know how either!"
When did she ever say she was happy to deal with these mundane matters?
"You have me, I will help you." The Crown Prince suddenly grasped Fang Ruotang's small hand, then quickly let go.
[Sure, let's start a sect and have some fun.]
The little mirror egged them on.
Fang Ruotang was skeptical. "Are you sure you don't need me to do anything?"
"No need," the crown prince assured him.
Fang Ruotang reluctantly agreed, then happily added, "Does that mean I can take in whoever I want? Can I bring my sisters into the sect?"
The prince raised an eyebrow slightly, and a hint of liveliness appeared on his usually calm face.
"Of course."
How could it not work!
After all, in this world, apart from the exceptionally talented Li Shiyun and the most powerful emperor, how many of Fang Ruotang's brothers and sisters are stronger than her?
Fang Ruotang's siblings, regardless of their talent, are all qualified to cultivate and are definitely stronger than ordinary people.
"What do you think our sect is called?" Fang Ruotang asked, her interest piqued, and she stopped watching the play altogether.
The Crown Prince's eyes were filled with Fang Ruotang's smiling face, and he said cooperatively, "You are the sect leader, you can call yourself whatever you want."
"Me?" Fang Ruotang tilted her head, pointed to herself, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Is it okay to call it Tianyi Sect? It means the number one sect in the world?"
"Yes, it looks very promising," the Crown Prince affirmed.
Fang Ruotang immediately smiled and said, "Tianyi Sect, Tianyi Sect, not bad! It sounds very powerful."
"Whatever makes you happy."
The crown prince's childlike demeanor was so convincing that the onlookers couldn't bear to watch. They never expected him to be like this.
But at the same time, they envied him greatly, and they longed to take the crown prince's place.
Being the Imperial Advisor's top lackey must come with a lot of perks!
The crown prince noticed the gazes fixed on him, glanced up and saw everyone pretending to be busy and looking away, their eight hundred small gestures feigning that they were watching the big show on the stage.
Crown Prince: ...
Oh!
Those five people have small mirrors as proof; they're not easy to deal with.
You mere mortals, how dare you even dream of such things?
After the performance, Fang Ruotang had almost finished eating the fruit in front of her. The Crown Prince glanced at the empty plate on the table, and then at Fang Ruotang's flat stomach.
"I've ordered food from Zhenxiu Restaurant, it will be delivered soon, so eat less snacks."
"Is this my favorite dish?"
"All of them."
Fang Ruotang patted the crumbs off her hands with satisfaction. The Crown Prince took out a handkerchief, first wiping the corners of Fang Ruotang's mouth, then holding her small hands and carefully and attentively wiping each hair.
The two acted intimately, attracting the attention of those present.
But Fang Ruotang didn't understand. In her eyes, the way the Crown Prince served her was no different from that of Tao Hong and Xing Bai. Tao Hong and Xing Bai would serve her the same way after she finished her meal at the mansion.
"Have a glass of water."
After taking care of Fang Ruotang's handkerchief, the Crown Prince casually tucked it into his sleeve, then added some hot tea to her cup and served it to her.
Seeing that she kept glancing around while drinking water, looking restless and wanting to find someone to play with, I stopped restraining her.
"Go have fun!"
As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, Fang Ruotang, like a bird released from its cage, went straight to the table where her sisters were sitting.
The crown prince lowered his eyes, but his smile was impossible to hide.
She really is just a little girl.
She appeared to be of marriageable age, but when the two were together, he would occasionally make intimate advances, just like before. However, the girl's eyes were clear and bright, like those of a child who had not yet grown up, which made the Crown Prince reluctant to make a move.
Among a group of sisters was an unfamiliar girl. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a bright green dress, with a graceful figure and outstanding looks.
"Grand Preceptor, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you won't find this small token of my appreciation offensive."
The woman handed over a brocade box containing a palm-sized piece of red jade. The jade was of pure color, and there seemed to be some flowing liquid in the middle, making it dazzling.
Who is she?
Fang Ruotang didn't dare to accept anything indiscriminately. While asking Xiao Jingzi about the other person's identity, she looked at Fang Shengtang with pleading eyes.
Fang Shengtang casually raised his chin, appearing as if he would accept it if he wanted and refuse if he didn't, indicating that the other party's identity was not prominent.
[The only daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, if the Third Prince hadn't met with misfortune, would already be a concubine in his household.]
Fang Ruotang pursed her lips. This third prince wasn't a very good person, but he had a lot of trouble afterward.
[She was the only daughter in the Jin family. Her father, Jin Wanguan, feared that if he died, his clan would seize the family property and his daughter would suffer a bad end. Therefore, he used all his wealth to arrange a marriage for her with the Third Prince.]
Fang Ruotang: ...
Kim Man-kwan's eyesight isn't very good!
