The Fifth Prince paused, looked at the two tickets that were floating lightly in Lü Yun Shen's hand, and was speechless.
Zhu Yuan doesn't seem like a stingy person, so why are his subordinates so miserly!
Could it be that he was so focused on equipping himself with weapons to attack them that he forgot to distribute the monthly silver?
Regardless of what he was thinking, the Fifth Prince remained outwardly calm and composed. He looked at his subordinates behind him and said, "You all go and buy tickets too!"
He was naturally worried about going in alone with Lü Yunshen. This was their territory, and Zhu Yuan was very suspicious of him. How could he feel comfortable going alone?
If this is a trap, and he falls into it alone, he won't even have a chance to struggle.
After everyone bought tickets, Lü Yunshen led the Fifth Prince and the others to the concert venue.
When they arrived at the destination, the Fifth Prince was stunned by the sight before him and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
What's going on?
Why are so many people gathered at the entrance? Men, women, young and old are all there, and some are even holding portraits or banners with slogans like "Forever and ever, never to be separated, love whoever you want."
Occasionally, you can see two pairs of people holding different portraits, slandering each other about the person holding the portrait.
Lu Yun Shen noticed the Fifth Prince's expression and felt a surge of pride. He had to admit, Zhen Niangzi had played this move brilliantly!
The entertainment industry is incredibly popular!
It also boosted the economy, and they even organized things like autograph sessions for merchandise. Many people were influenced by this and started selling the merchandise as well.
Of course, many of these were pirated, which somewhat affected her peripheral business.
However, Zhen Wanwan did not stop it, simply because it provided a way for many people without technical skills to make a living.
As a result, the lives of the people of Anqing Prefecture visibly improved.
Every household can enjoy a hot bowl of rice and still have extra money to buy snacks.
Of course, there are still some impoverished villages in remote mountainous areas, and Zhen Wanwan will also gather wealthy businessmen to do charity activities and carry out targeted poverty alleviation.
"Lord Lü, what is the purpose of these people gathering here? It looks like they're about to fight. Why hasn't anyone come to disperse them?"
Isn't Zhu Yuan afraid that these people will cause trouble here?
Lu Yunshen maintained his awkward yet polite smile.
"Your Highness, they are just fans! There's no need to worry. They'll disperse on their own after the concert, and they won't cause any trouble."
Lu Yunshen pointed to the gatekeepers: "These people will keep them in check."
The Fifth Prince was completely baffled. Why couldn't he understand anything Lü Yun Shen was saying?
Could it be that he was so busy escaping that he fell behind and couldn't keep up with the times?
He suddenly felt sad, thinking back to when he was still a person of high status, and everything he ate, wore, and played with was the most fashionable.
They're not even as good as ordinary people on the street now.
The Fifth Prince suppressed his bitterness and followed Lü Yunshen into the venue.
Once inside, he discovered that the place was surprisingly spacious, with a stage in the very center and no obstructions around it. The stage was surrounded by neatly arranged benches.
Many people, including many teenagers, had already sat down around the area, each with excitement and anticipation on their face.
Looking at the uniformly short and cramped stools, the Fifth Prince's face darkened. Would he have to sit with this group of lowly people later?
Before he could make wild guesses, Lü Yunshen led him step by step toward the stage, until they reached the front row, where he checked the tickets and arranged for him to sit down.
"Your Highness, your seat is here. Please take a seat."
Lu Yun, with practiced ease, directed the Fifth Prince to sit down, and then sat down next to him.
The guards who came with the Fifth Prince stood behind him as usual, which drew pointing and whispering from those sitting behind them.
Perhaps realizing they were not to be trifled with, they could only swallow their grievances and silently resent their bad luck.
Seeing this, Lü Yunshen seemed to suddenly realize something and reminded them, "Young men, where are your seats? The performance is about to begin, please find your seats."
To his surprise, the guards completely ignored him and remained standing ramrod straight behind the Fifth Prince.
Lu Yunshen had no choice but to explain the rules to the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling for the person to sit down.
As he was living under someone else's roof, he naturally had to be tolerant in every way. There were so many people here that even if Zhu Yuan wanted to take action, he would have to consider the lives of these people.
After receiving instructions, the guard picked up the ticket and began to look at it.
However, they couldn't find their seats behind the Fifth Prince at all. Seeing this, Lü Yunshen asked the staff to lead them to their seats.
Once the guards were seated, they realized they were on a mountaintop, a position from which they couldn't even see the faces of the people on the stage.
Moreover, it was thousands of miles away from their prince. The head guard grabbed the staff member by the collar in dissatisfaction: "Why were we placed here?"
The staff member was so frightened that his legs trembled. He carefully examined the tickets several times to make sure that they had indeed bought the tickets for the mountaintop.
Only then did he say, trembling with fear, "Gentlemen, you bought tickets for the top floor, didn't you? Please check your seats to see if they're correct!"
The group carefully checked their tickets to confirm their positions were correct.
Some people complained: "Then why are there so many empty seats in front? Why don't you ticket sellers give us seats in the front?"
Upon hearing this, the staff guessed that the group was from out of town and quickly explained, "Please understand, gentlemen, these tickets aren't randomly assigned. Tickets closer to the stage are naturally more expensive, and as for the hilltop tickets, they're naturally..."
The staff did not explain clearly, thus saving face for the group.
Upon hearing this, the head guard also recalled that when they bought the tickets, the man had asked them what price range they wanted.
To save money, he simply bought the cheapest tickets.
Seeing that the group had stopped causing trouble, the staff member excused himself and went backstage to help.
Several guards sat proudly in the last row of chairs, and those around them looked on with a sense of shared misfortune.
It seems they are just like us, all poor people who pooled their money to see the show.
The Fifth Prince had no time to deal with his subordinates; he was curiously looking around.
At this moment, the lights went out, and the Fifth Prince nervously gripped the dagger hidden in his sleeve. If Lü Yun Shen made any unusual move, he would drag him down to hell, even if it meant going to the underworld.
In the darkness, Lü Yunshen had already noticed the Fifth Prince's actions. He smiled slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.
With that kind of guts, you dare to go undercover? You're courting death!
On stage, the lights suddenly started flashing, music began to play, and a group of beautiful women in flowing costumes came on stage to dance.
Background music begins to play, and the storyteller delivers his lines at crucial moments.
A highly dramatic stage performance came to a close. The Fifth Prince watched with great interest, but felt a pang of sadness and regret that it ended too quickly.
