Lian Xiang's master was a woman called the Binding Princess. Before today, Shen Hao had never even heard of her—it was only on the way here that Zhang Qian mentioned her. He'd thought she was just some old Zither Master, but now it looked like things were much more complicated. No wonder she could maneuver things and persuade Ms. Zi Yi's Master to agree to let Ms. Zi Yi buy her freedom.
The zither music continued to play, but the scene was quite odd now. Everyone else was lost in the music, intoxicated, but only the two sitting together whispered away, not listening at all.
"Let me know when Hong'en Hall wants to promote new talent." After a few drinks, Shen Hao suddenly changed the subject, not wanting to keep talking about that Ning Ziye.
"Why?" Lian Xiang smiled sweetly, leaning into Shen Hao's arms.
"If I can't help with other things, at least when Hong'en Hall wants to promote someone, don't you need poems or lyrics? Lending you guys a hand is no big deal for me."
