Chapter 1416: A small inn on the border
Although Shi Li thought about it, she didn't actually inform Sun Jingyu about this matter in the end.
She understands Sun Jingyu's CP thinking, but at the same time she also respects Princess Min'an.
If she went to tip off Sun Jingyu when someone invited her to have tea, what kind of person would she be?
On the way to Lanyue Tower in the carriage, Shi Li couldn't help but secretly look at Princess Min'an.
But she couldn't see any clues on the face of the future queen.
If she really saw something, Emperor Shan probably wouldn't value Princess Min'an as the heir.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Lanyue Tower, and Princess Min'an actually took out a veil hat and put it on her head very familiarly.
Shi Li saw this scene from the side and couldn't help but think that Sun Jingyu and the others said that Princess Min'an had not come to Lanyue Tower for a long time.
Is it possible that Princess Min'an had come wearing a veil like this before and they didn't notice?
When they arrived at Lanyue Tower, it was the time of the day when there were the most customers. After all, Futi performed on stage around noon every day, and the regular customers knew it well.
Even if there are new customers who are not clear about something, they can find out by just asking.
As soon as Shi Li followed Princess Min'an into the Lanyue Tower, the shopkeeper immediately came up to them with a smile on his face, bowed and said respectfully, "The private room is ready."
Looking at this familiar appearance, it is obvious that the shopkeeper knows Princess Min'an's identity, and this is not the first time he has made such arrangements.
Shi Li was afraid that her two eyes were not enough, so she followed Princess Min'an closely, not forgetting to glance around with her peripheral vision.
The stage is empty for the time being, as today's performance has not yet begun.
When they arrived at the private room, Princess Min'an finally took off her veil.
The private rooms in Lanyue Building are very uniquely designed. The side facing the platform is equipped with transparent hollow windows, which ensures that the sight of the guests in the private room is not disturbed, while preventing people outside from spying on the people in the private room.
Shi Li walked to the hollow window and looked at it again and again with curiosity.
I thought that perhaps Princess Min'an had sat here many times before, quietly listening to Futi's piano playing.
【I got it, I got it! 】
[Wow, so sweet~~~]
[Princess Min'an is the future queen. As long as she likes it, Futi's identity doesn't matter at all! ]
Almost everyone in the barrage was looking forward to Futi's quick appearance so that they could find some clues from Princess Min'an's expression and behavior.
Shi Li thought so too, but she couldn't show it too obviously. She drank the whole cup of tea absent-mindedly, which caused Princess Min'an to look at her in surprise.
"I'm thirsty, thirsty. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess." Shi Li explained with a wry smile.
At this time, the sound of piano came from outside.
Although Shi Li did not understand music, Fu Ti's piano playing was something that anyone who had heard it once would never forget. The piano playing at this moment was not his at all.
Looking over in surprise, Shi Li was stunned to find that the person playing the piano on the podium was Su Chan!
He was also wearing white clothes and playing the same music that Futi had played before.
Shi Li didn't know what other people were thinking, but she felt offended on behalf of Futi when she saw this scene. She endured it and turned to look at Princess Min'an.
She held the teacup in one hand, her expression calm, as if she had known it for a long time.
Shi Li opened her mouth, full of questions to ask, but her relationship with Princess Min'an was not close enough for her to inquire about such private matters, so she finally held back.
After a piece of music is played, there will be a short break in the middle, which is usually when guests give tips.
But today, apparently there are more than one person who have the same doubts as Shi Li.
"Why did you change people? Where is Master Futi?"
What surprised Shi Li was that the first person to raise doubts was a young man in a brocade robe. There are many people, both men and women, who like the sound of the futiqin.
After the young man asked this question, many guests around him, both men and women, followed suit.
Su Chan on the high platform turned visibly pale. It was not known whether it was an illusion, but he seemed to deliberately glance in the direction of the private room.
"Everyone, please be patient, please be patient."
After a brief silence, the shopkeeper of Lanyue Tower hurried to the platform and stood beside Su Chan with a smile on his face.
"Futi has been ill recently and is not fit to perform on stage. You are all regular customers of Lanyue Tower, so please listen to Su Chan's music, which is also wonderful and new."
At first glance, the shopkeeper's words sounded very thoughtful and beautiful.
But Shi Li didn't know whether she had any grudges in her heart. She always felt that the word "novel" that the shopkeeper said at the end seemed to be deliberately targeting Futi.
It is enough to say that Su Chan's music is wonderful, why add the word "novel"? Is there really no implication that Futi stayed in Lanyue Tower for too long and made people feel bored?
Shi Li felt that she might be overthinking, so she patiently continued to listen to Su Chan play two more songs.
Her evaluation was the same as last time - a world of difference.
I don’t know if the other guests were as suspicious as she was, because no one gave her a tip, even a penny.
Su Chan stood up, his face showing a hint of paleness and helplessness, and looked at Ya Ge again.
At the same time, Shi Li also saw that Princess Min'an seemed to want to call the servants over.
In a flash, Shi Li grabbed Princess Min'an's sleeve.
"Your Highness... do you really want to slap Futi in the face?"
People always get carried away by impulse, and by the time Shi Li reacted, she had already finished speaking.
