According to the previous arrangement, after noon, Lu Wu will pick up Concubine Rong at the corner gate to come by car, there will be no delay on the road, and half an hour to the Nancheng Grand Theater is enough. It's not here yet, could it be that something went wrong?

The audience was anxious, and the noise began to rise below. Xie Danhong came to ask if she wanted to start the show, and Lin Jue told her that she had to postpone it. Xie Danhong pointed to the noisy audience below and felt embarrassed, Lin Jue told her to go to the stage and tell the audience that the performance was postponed today, and Jiao'er was putting on makeup, so please be calm. However, if there is a noisy and noisy ticket, you can directly withdraw and refund the ticket. Those who made trouble were blacklisted by the theater, and the Jiangnan Grand Theater no longer received them.

Jiangnan Grand Theater is a standout, famous in Beijing, and doing its own business, which is so domineering. When the audience is hard to get a ticket, I really don't worry about their noise. If you are blacklisted, you can no longer watch the play, which is a fatal blow to some gourmets.

Sure enough, as soon as Xie Danhong came on stage, although the audience erupted into a burst of dissatisfaction, they had to wait patiently. As the so-called shopkeeper bullies customers, the Grand Theater has already gained a firm foothold in the capital, so there is no need to look at the faces of these people. When they get tough, they can only endure it.

The boring wait is the most tormenting. But Lin Jue didn't send anyone to inquire, and he didn't have such an arrangement at all. On the way from the corner gate of Donghua Gate to the Nancheng Grand Theater, only Shen Tan's more than ten palace guards disguised as passers-by counter-reconnaissance along the way, protecting and monitoring those who might be keeping an eye on Concubine Rong. Lin Jue instead thinks that although there is no news at the moment, this is the best news. If something had gone wrong, the news would have been delivered long ago. Green Dance didn't come, Shen Tan's people didn't come, that actually means that everything went well. Maybe Concubine Rong was delayed in the palace, or maybe it was delayed on the road, in short, there was no mistake.

Finally, after waiting for half an hour, when the bell rang from time to time, on the stairs leading to the special internal passage on the second floor, Lu Wu supported Rong Guifei, who was dressed as an ordinary woman and wearing a jinghai cloth skirt, and walked up slowly. Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the gong to sing to appease the audience below who were already impatient.

When the stage curtain opened, Concubine Rong was already sitting in the box in the middle accompanied by Lu Wu. Lin Jue went to meet Rong Guifei, Rong Guifei seemed very excited, she seemed to be happy for this exciting action out of the palace.

Green Dance quietly told Lin Jue the reason for the delay. It turned out that Concubine Rong didn't delay at all when she left the palace, but she was attracted by various snack and fruit shops on the road on the way, so she got out of the car with Lu Wu and ate while walking. Green Dance can't help it, she can only let it. Concubine Rong said that she hadn't eaten snacks on the street for a long time, and the palace was not allowed to eat indiscriminately, but the snacks in the palace really didn't taste good. In order to take care of the taste of the Queen Mother, the dim sum and fruits in the palace dining room are light and tasteless, and many condiments are not dared to be added. So everyone was forced to eat according to the Queen Mother's taste. On the street, just smelling the various fragrances made Concubine Rong's appetite great, so she wanted to taste it regardless of it.

Lin Jue was speechless, and Bai was worried for a long time, it turned out to be such a strange reason. It turns out that the palace can't even decide the taste of food, but I don't know what fun there is. Maybe it's just that Concubine Rong and the others cater to the Queen Mother in order to show their humility, and they don't think it will be so harsh.

The new drama "Wutong Rain" is actually about some things in the Xuanzong period. Including the love between Xuanzong and the concubine, including the change of An Lushan, and even the change of Ma Weipo, the concubine was given death by Xuanzong. The last scene is a monologue in which Xuanzong recalls the concubine's voice and smile when he listens to the rain hitting the sycamore on a rainy night after Xuanzong is safe, so the whole play is called "Wutong Rain". In fact, it is a love story about Li Yang and Yang interspersed in history. Naturally, the country is ruined, the family is ruined, the regret is entangled, and the love of children is indispensable. These are naturally the mainstream of people's tastes at present. The emperor will be a talented and beautiful woman is the theme that the audience pays the most attention to, and this Wutong rain drama can be said to be all in one go.

Under the backdrop of the ultra-modern light and shadow slide set of the Jiangnan Grand Theater, anyone who comes to see the play for the first time will be shocked on the spot. Even a noble woman like Concubine Rong, who came from a big family, and a noble concubine who had never seen anything new, quickly became addicted to it and was pulled into it by the unique means of the Jiangnan Grand Theater.

The repertoire evolved, scene by scene, until An Lushan rebelled, Emperor Tang Ming fled west with his concubines and ministers, and after coming to Ma Weiyi, the plot finally entered the climax of the third act. When Chen Xuanli forced the palace and Xuanzong ordered to kill the concubine, Concubine Rong gritted her teeth angrily and turned her head to speak to the green dance beside her.

"Look, how shameless these people are, who have nothing to do with the concubine, but they blame all the blame on a woman. Is this a man? Emperor Ming is actually not a man at all, he can't even keep his concubine, he just wants to live by himself, is this kind of person still a man? It's really not worth it for the concubine. Let me say, she might as well run away with An Lushan before, at least An Lushan is a real man who dares to be a rebel. ”

Because it was outside the palace, Concubine Rong was very relaxed, and there was only Lu Wu in the box, so she didn't have to be careful. In fact, if these words are spread, it will be a bit rebellious. An Lushan is regarded as a thief, even if it is now the world of the Great Zhou, An Lushan's anti-thief is still spurned by others, and he will never be rehabilitated. She said that An Lushan is a real man, and she naturally said it from the perspective of a woman, but this is definitely a big rebellion.

A person beside him said softly: "Yourong is still the same as before, dare to say and do, but his temperament has not changed." ”

Concubine Rong's attention was on the brightly lit stage with a tense plot, and she didn't notice that the people around her had changed. She heard that the voice was wrong, and turned to see the face of a woman who was both familiar and unfamiliar. Concubine Rong covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"You...... Sister Aoi? Is that you? ”

The princess's maiden name is Shen Akui, and Concubine Rong has always called her maiden name, and she blurted it out at this moment.

The princess nodded slightly and said softly, "Yourong, it's me." I'm glad you still recognize me. ”

"Why are you here? Why are you watching a play here? What a coincidence. I didn't expect you and my sisters to meet here again today. We...... I haven't seen you in years. What a coincidence. Concubine Rong said repeatedly.

The princess smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen you for many years, although I can see it at any time, but ...... It's better not to see it. But I miss you all the time. ”

Concubine Rong nodded and said, "Why don't I miss you too, recalling the scene when we visited the capital together." But you're in Hangzhou, and you can't see it if you want to. Oh, yes, aren't you in Hangzhou? Why did you come to the capital? ”

The princess smiled and said, "Yes, I came to the capital." I'm going to do something. A tricky thing. It's actually not a coincidence today, I heard that you are coming here to watch a play, so I came to see you. First, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you so much. So come and see you. Second, I want to ask you to do me a favor. ”

Concubine Rong frowned and thought about it, feeling a little strange. His whereabouts are kept absolutely secret. Green Dance assured that except for Lin Jue, no one knew that he was out of the palace today. So how did Ah Kui know? Needless to say, someone must have told her about it. Today's meeting seems to be a scheduled one, but I just kept myself in the dark. What is she looking for herself? Help? How can it help? She's a princess, what do she need to help herself? What else they can't do on their own? Is it ......?

Concubine Rong suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Sister Yourong, my palace has encountered a tricky matter now, and you must have heard some rumors. It was the incident where the prince mistakenly killed Kang Zizhen, the prefect of Hangzhou, in Hangzhou......" The princess said slowly.

Concubine Rong's heart sank, and it was indeed this matter. At this time, everyone already knew about it, how could she not know. A few days ago, the emperor returned to the harem, and he was furious about it, blaming Liang for being lawless and killing court officials. In the harem, there has been a lot of discussion. It is said that the previous dynasty has been discussing this matter for the past few days, and the civil and military officials have criticized and written against the people, and the people are extremely angry. Although Concubine Rong didn't ask about the affairs of the court, how could she not know. However, Concubine Rong believes that since the prince said that it was manslaughter, I believe that the emperor will also open the net, so will the prince not be able to resist his fate. This matter is just a thunderstorm and a small rain, and in the end it is just a matter of not being resolved.

But looking at the princess's expression and tone at this moment, it seems that things are not so simple.

"Sister Ah Kui, I did hear about this, but I didn't know it carefully enough. I heard that it was a manslaughter, so it shouldn't be a big deal. The emperor's punishment is certain, just bow your head and admit your mistakes, what else can you do? Concubine Rong frowned.

"Sister Yourong, it's not a secret, if it's just a small punishment, why should I come to you today? The prince killed Kang Zizhen by mistake, and the prince also fell on the fold of asking for guilt. But some people want to put the prince to death, they don't admit that this is manslaughter, and try their best to instigate and agitate, wanting to turn this matter into the prince's deliberate murder of Na Kang Zizhen. Someone wants to put a big hat on the prince who is unable to resist the new law, wants the prince to die, and wants my palace to overturn. The princess sighed softly.

"Is it that serious? Not really. Concubine Rong frowned and muttered. Concubine Rong remembered the emperor's attitude in recent days, and sounded some rumors about the discord between the emperor and the prince that she had heard before. She suddenly panicked. Could it be that the emperor wants to take the opportunity to rectify the prince this time? The emperor wouldn't be so ruthless.

"Young girl, this matter is true. Now that the imperial court has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, that Lord Fang will take the lead in investigating this matter thoroughly. That Lord Fang is the one who said that the prince was deliberately obstructing the new law, and he took the lead in a thorough investigation, and what good results could there be. The emperor may just want to punish him, but he can't stand the noise of these ministers. I'm afraid that the emperor will make some bad decision to appease the anger of these people, and then it will be too late. That's why I thought about it, and then I thought of you. At this moment, I can only come to beg you, you say a word for the prince, protect my palace this time, sister, I am grateful to you, and I will never forget it. The princess said eagerly.
