Chapter 240: Gossip Expert (3)
Hearing Xin Yuzheng’s words, Wan Sifan’s eyes flashed for a second. As the rumor goes, if someone wants information about everyone and everything in the Xia Empire, they should talk to Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng instead of buying information from Jiang Hu. It seems that this rumor is indeed true.
Wan Sifan sighed and said sadly, "Ben Wang has been bedridden since Ben Wang was a child and has been staying at home since then. Because of this, Ben Wang doesn’t know about many things or hot topics circulating outside now. Tonight is the most important annual imperial banquet of our empire, and Ben Wang worried that if anyone talks to me, they will leave disappointed because of my lack of knowledge."
He paused, looked at Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ben Wang wonder... can two Da Rens share some knowledge with me?"
Looking at his sad and depressed expression, Xin Yuzheng couldn’t help but feel pity for this Qinwang, who was born sickly. He smiled and asked kindly, "Wangye, how about we tell you about the hottest topic outside right now?"
The goal was achieved, and Wan Sifan nodded gratefully, "Ben Wang will be very happy to hear Xin Da Ren’s story."
Seeing Wan Sifan’s pale face finally showing a glimmer of happiness, Guan Zhiyao and Xin Yuzheng smiled and began to tell him everything that had happened recently. When they arrived at the Qian Qing Palace, where the summer banquet would be held tonight, everything Wan Sifan wanted to know had been answered.
Guan Zhiyao saw that most of the people had arrived, and the main hall of Qian Qing Palace was crowded. He looked at Wan Sifan’s pale face and thin body and worried that he would faint before he reached his seat in the front area.
After thinking for a few seconds, Guan Zhiyao asked, "Wangye, how about we accompany you to your seat and continue our conversation?"
Wan Sifan looked at him and saw the worry in his clear eyes, then he looked at the main hall full of people and found out the reason for Guan Zhiyao’s worry. After more than twenty years, Wan Sifan smiled sincerely for the first time.
