According to the previous arrangement, Lu Wu would pick up Concubine Rong at the corner gate after noon and drive there. There would be no delay on the way. Half an hour would be enough to get to the Nancheng Grand Theater. If she hasn't arrived yet, could there be something wrong?
The audience was waiting anxiously and began to make noise below. Xie Danhong came to ask if the performance should start, but Lin Jue told her that it must be postponed. Xie Danhong pointed to the noisy audience below and felt embarrassed, and Lin Jue told her to go to the stage and tell the audience,
The performance is postponed today. The actors are putting on makeup. Please be patient. However, if there are any noisy birds, you can leave the show directly and get a refund. Those who cause trouble will be blacklisted by the theater and will no longer be entertained by the Jiangnan Grand Theater.
The Jiangnan Grand Theater is unique and well-known throughout the capital. It does a unique business and is so domineering. When the audience is hard to get a ticket, I really don’t worry about their noise. If they are blacklisted, they will no longer be able to come to the theater. This pair
This is a fatal blow to some theater fans.
Sure enough, when Xie Danhong came on stage, although the audience burst into dissatisfaction, they had to wait patiently. As the saying goes, the Grand Theater has already established a firm foothold in the capital, so there is no need to watch these people
Their expressions changed. When they got tough, they could only endure it.
The boring waiting was the most torturous. But Lin Jue did not send anyone to inquire, and he had no such arrangement at all. On the way from the Donghuamen Jiaomen to the Nancheng Grand Theater, there were only Shen Tan's dozen or so palace guards disguised as passers-by along the way.
Counter reconnaissance, protecting and monitoring people who may be following Concubine Rong. Lin Jue instead believes that although there is no news at the moment, this is the best news. If something went wrong, the news would have been sent long ago. Green Dance has not
Come, Shen Tan's people didn't come, which actually means that everything went well. Maybe Concubine Rong was delayed in the palace or on the road, but it was definitely not a mistake.
Finally, after waiting for half an hour, when the bell rang at the end of the hour, on the stairs leading to the special internal passage on the second floor, Lu Wu supported Concubine Rong, who was dressed like an ordinary woman and wearing a Jingchai sarong.
Walking up slowly, Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately ordered the gongs and operas to be started to appease the impatient audience below.
When the stage curtain opened, Concubine Rong was already sitting in the box in the middle, accompanied by Lu Wu. Lin Jue went to see Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong seemed very excited. She seemed to be excited about this exciting appearance.
Feel happy with the palace action.
Lu Wu quietly told Lin Jue the reason for the delay. It turned out that Concubine Rong had not delayed at all when she left the palace, but she was attracted by various snacks and fruit shops on the way, so she and Lu Wu got out of the car and walked to buy and eat.
Lu Wu had no choice but to let her do it. Concubine Rong said that she had not eaten street snacks for a long time. The palace did not allow random eating, but the snacks in the palace were really tasteless. In order to take care of the Queen Mother's taste, the palace
The snacks and fruits in the imperial dining room are all bland, and many condiments are not added. Therefore, everyone is forced to eat according to the Queen Mother's taste. On the street, just smelling the various fragrances makes Concubine Rong's appetite whet her appetite.
, so I decided to try it regardless.
Lin Jue was speechless. He had been worried for a long time. It turned out to be such a strange reason. It turned out that the palace could not even decide the taste of food, but he didn't know what fun there was. Maybe it was just Concubine Rong and the others catering to the Queen Mother in order to show their humility.
I didn't think it would be so harsh.
The new drama "Wu Tong Yu" actually talks about some things during the Xuanzong period. Including the love between Xuanzong and the imperial concubine, including the Anlu Mountain Incident, and even the Maweipo Incident, the imperial concubine was sentenced to death by Xuanzong. The last scene is
After Xuanzong was safe, he recalled the imperial concubine's voice and smile in a monologue while listening to the rain hitting the sycamore trees on a rainy night, so the whole play was called "Wutong Rain". In fact, it is a love story about Li and Yang interspersed in history. Naturally, it is indispensable.
The destruction of the country and the family, entangled regrets, and the love of children. These are naturally the mainstream tastes of the current people. Emperors, generals, ministers, talented people, and beauties are the subjects that the audience pays most attention to, and this drama "Wu Tong Yu" can be said to have caught them all.
Under the background of the ultra-modern light and shadow slide show of the Jiangnan Grand Theater, anyone who comes to watch the theater for the first time will be shocked on the spot. Even a noble woman from a wealthy family like Concubine Rong, who is well-informed, is nothing new.
The imperial concubine, who had never seen anything like this before, quickly became addicted to it and was pulled in by the Jiangnan Grand Theater's unique means.
The play evolved and passed scene by scene until An Lushan rebelled and Emperor Ming of Tang fled west with his concubines and ministers. After arriving at Maweiyi, the plot finally entered the climax of the third act. When Chen Xuanli forced the palace, Xuanzong issued an edict.
When killing the concubine, Concubine Rong gritted her teeth angrily and turned to speak to Lu Wu beside her.
"Look, how shameless these people are. They clearly have nothing to do with the imperial concubine, but they attribute all the blame to a woman. Is this a man? In fact, Emperor Ming is not a man at all. He can't even save his own concubine. He just wants to survive.
, Is such a person considered a man? She is really worthless for a noble concubine. Let me tell you, she might as well have run away with An Lushan before. At least An Lushan is a real man who dares to act, dare to act and dare to rebel."
Because she 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 were spread, it would be a bit treacherous. An Lushan was regarded as a traitor
, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, rebels like An Lushan are still despised by others and will never be rehabilitated. She said that An Lushan is a real man, naturally speaking from a woman's perspective, but this
But it is definitely a treasonous statement.
A person beside him said softly: "Yourong is still the same as before. He dares to speak and act, but his temper has not changed."
Concubine Rong's attention was on the brightly lit stage and the intense plot. She didn't notice that the people around her had changed. She heard something was wrong in the voice, turned around and saw the face of a familiar yet unfamiliar woman.
Concubine Rong covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"You...sister Akui? Is that you?"
The princess's maiden name was Shen Akui. Concubine Rong had always called her by her maiden name, and now she blurted it out.
The princess nodded slightly and said softly: "Yourong, it's me. You still recognize me, I'm very happy."
"Why are you here? Why are you watching a show here? What a coincidence. I didn't expect that you and my sisters would meet again here today. We... haven't seen each other for many years. What a coincidence." Concubine Rong said repeatedly.
said.
The princess smiled and said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for many years. Although I can see you at any time, it's better not to see you. But I miss you all the time."
Concubine Rong nodded and said: "Why don't I also miss you and recall the times when we visited the capital together? But you are in Hangzhou, and I can't see you even if I want to. Oh, yes, you are not in Hangzhou? Why did you come to the capital?"
"
The princess smiled and said: "Yes, I came to the capital. I came to handle something. A difficult matter. Today is actually not a coincidence. I heard that you were coming here to watch a show, so I came here specifically to see you.
Firstly, we sisters have not seen each other for a long time, and I miss you so much that I came to see you. Secondly, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Concubine Rong frowned and thought about it, feeling a little strange. Her whereabouts were kept strictly confidential. Lu Wu promised that no one except Lin Jue knew that she was leaving the palace today. How did A Kui know? Needless to say, it must be
Others told her that today's meeting seemed to be an arranged meeting, but she was kept in the dark. What did she want from me? Help? What help? She is the princess, what help does she need from herself? And what else?
What can't they handle on their own? Could it be...?
Concubine Rong suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Sister Yourong, my palace has encountered a difficult matter now. You must have heard some rumors. It was the incident where the prince accidentally killed Kang Zizhen, the prefect of Hangzhou..." the princess said slowly.
Concubine Rong's heart trembled. It turned out to be this. By now, everyone knew about it. How could she not know about it? A few days ago, when the emperor returned to the harem, he was furious about it and blamed Prince Liang for his lawlessness.
, who is good at killing court officials. There has been a lot of discussion in the harem for a long time. It is said that the previous dynasty has been discussing this matter in the past few days, and the civil and military officials have been very angry with people. Although Concubine Rong does not ask about the affairs of the government, how can she not know about it.
However, Concubine Rong believed that since the prince said it was a manslaughter, she believed that the emperor would be lenient. Could it be that the prince was required to save his life? This matter was just a matter of thunder and rain, and in the end it was nothing more than nothing.
But looking at the princess's expression and tone at this moment, it seems that things are not that simple.
"Sister Akui, I did hear about this, but I didn't know it carefully enough. I heard that it was manslaughter, so it shouldn't be a big deal. The emperor's punishment is certain, just bow your head and admit your mistake, what else can you do?"
Frowning.
"Sister Yourong, let me tell you the truth. If it was just a small punishment, why should I come to you today? The prince accidentally killed Kang Zizhen, and the prince also accepted the plea. But there are people who want to kill the prince. They don't
Admitting that this was manslaughter, they tried their best to instigate and instigate the matter, trying to turn it into the prince's deliberate murder of Na Kang Zizhen. Some people wanted to label the prince as lawless and obstructing the new law. They wanted to kill the prince and wanted to let the prince's palace
Overturned." The princess sighed softly.
"Is it so serious? It can't be." Concubine Rong frowned and murmured. Concubine Rong thought of the emperor's attitude in recent days, and recalled some rumors she had heard before about the discord between the emperor and the prince. She suddenly felt a little worried.
Panic. Could it be that the emperor is taking the opportunity to punish the prince this time? The emperor can't be so heartless.
"Sister Yourong, this matter is absolutely true. Now the imperial court has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter. Mr. Fang is the one who is leading the investigation. Mr. Fang is the one who reported to the court that the prince deliberately obstructed the new law. He is the one who is leading the thorough investigation.
Check, what good results can 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 calm the anger of these people.
By then everything will be too late. So I thought about it, and then I thought of you, Yourong. Now I can only come and beg you. Please say something for the prince and protect my palace this time. Sister, I am grateful to you.
I will never forget it for the rest of my life." The princess said eagerly.
