A Question (1)
The same thing continued. Long Anqi, Ye Chengtian, and even Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess were all being pulled aside to ask Ye Lang. Fortunately, they were very good at socializing and could easily handle any number of people coming.
At this moment, Ye Lang and Liu Feiyan were waiting on the side, waiting for the people in front to familiarize themselves with the venue before going up for a rehearsal. However, the wait seemed to be taking too long; an hour had already passed.
"Boss, what's going on with those people up ahead? It's been so long, are they putting on a play?" Liu Feiyan kicked the floor tiles listlessly.
"Maybe they're showing an opera," Ye Lang casually replied as he poked at ants with the Little Princess.
"..." Liu Feiyan looked at Ye Lang, feeling a little helpless. "You seem so relaxed, not nervous at all."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. It doesn't matter how we perform this time, so why be nervous? Besides, we have the ability, so what's there to be afraid of?
"Boss, I've received a scoop!" After a while, a young girl ran up to Ye Lang said to him.
"What?" Ye Lang looked up at the little girl. How old was she? She had already learned to gossip and inquire about rumors.
Women, they really are made of this material!
Now I understand why intelligence organizations like to target places like brothels—because women are incredibly skilled at gathering intelligence.
"I heard there's a regiment up ahead that's very famous on the mainland, so they're hogging the space and not letting us little people get up there," the girl replied.
"What group?" Ye Lang and the others asked.
"It seems to be the Celestial Music Troupe," the little girl replied. "That's all I've received. I'll go find out more!" And so, the little girl ran off to gather more information, without caring whether anyone else had any questions to ask.
"This Xiao Li is always like this! Boss, what do we do now? Should we wait here?" Liu Feiyan asked.
"No need, we'll all go ahead and wait. There's no need for rehearsals. We're capable, no problem!" Ye Lang shook his head and said directly.
"Alright!" Liu Feiyan nodded, agreeing with Ye Lang's point of view.
Then, Ye Lang called the little girl who had run away earlier over and left with these eleven girls. Their performance only needed a maximum of twelve people, and of course, the twelfth person was Ye Lang, so there wouldn't be any other people.
These eleven girls are the best in the teahouse, and their teamwork is perfect. I believe they will definitely make a name for themselves!
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to wait anymore?" Those who had been waiting with Ye Lang as they saw him about to leave.
"We won't wait any longer. Our repertoire doesn't need anything special, anything is fine. Please continue," Liu Feiyan replied with a smile. Maintaining a smile and being polite was something she had recently learned.
"You don't need to wait, but it seems you can't leave here. We can only move around here and can't go anywhere else," someone kindly reminded us.
"Thank you for your concern, but I can walk around here freely," Ye Lang replied casually, then left with the girl.
The kind man was initially shaking his head and sighing, thinking that Ye Lang would definitely run into a wall and be sent back in disgrace by the guards. However, things surprised him. He saw that the guards seemed to offer no obstruction and respectfully allowed Ye Lang and his party to pass.
What's going on here? Does this mean people can just wander around here?
The kind-hearted man was puzzled, but he quickly dismissed the question because he saw someone walk by...
"What?! We can't go through? Then why were those people allowed to go through?" The person who was trying to go through was blocked by the guards and pointed at Ye Lang's departing figure.
"He has special privileges; there's no place in the entire Imperial Palace he can't go," the guard replied.
"Who is he?" The person from the past was stunned. There was no place in the Imperial Palace that he couldn't go, so this person's identity must be extraordinary.
"You don't need to know who he is. Just do your own jobs!" the guard replied coldly. He didn't know if he could reveal Ye Lang's identity, so it was best not to say.
"..."
"Hey, little brother, what brings you all here?" Just as Ye Lanyu was entertaining people, she suddenly noticed Ye Lang's appearance and immediately abandoned the others to go find Ye Lang.
"Where? Has he arrived?" The people around, including Ye Chengtian and others, as well as those who wanted to befriend Ye Lang, all immediately looked in the direction Ye Lanyu had gone.
Everyone saw that Ye Lang brought over eleven beautiful girls. These girls were either delicate, gorgeous, or cute. In any case, they were all captivatingly beautiful.
What an impressive sight! Bringing so many beauties along, it's no wonder he's the center of attention.
Of course, Ye Lang was unaware of this effect. He was just bored while waiting there, so he came here to find something to eat. That's why, when he came here, he ignored everything else and went straight to the food counter, picked up the food and started eating, completely disregarding the presence of others.
This made many people feel ashamed, and also made many people feel that Ye Lang was straightforward and cute. Of course, it also made many people look down on him and feel unhappy. In short, the reactions were all kinds of.
"Little brother, are you all better over there?" Ye Lanyu came to Ye Lang's side, picked up some food and ate a few bites, perhaps because she was infected by Ye Lang.
"No, someone's acting like a big shot and hogging the space, so our small teams naturally have to wait on the sidelines," Ye Lang said casually, his tone merely stating a fact without any hint of anger.
Would Ye Lang get angry over something like this? Is it even worth getting angry about? No, it's not worth it!
"Why don't you have someone kick them out? This is your territory. You can do whatever you want here. Even if you burn down the Imperial Garden, it won't be a problem," Ye Lanyu said with a smile.
Ye Lanyu and the others had already received news about the Imperial Garden incident. They learned about it not long after it happened, and they felt helpless about it.
"Imperial Garden, right, I seem to remember forgetting to mention something about this." Ye Lang said blankly, scratching his head as he tried to recall the matter.
"Apologize!" These words were not spoken by Ye Lanyu, but rather by Long Ai, who was looking at Ye Lang. She didn't know where she came from.
"Apologize? No, I think you should thank me." Ye Lang shook his head.
"... You burned down my garden, and you expect me to thank you! You stinky cousin, let me tell you, if it weren't for the flowers you gave me, if it weren't for the fact that they were just smoked and not seriously injured, I would definitely..." Long Ai trailed off, unable to find the words to say.
