Xishantang's stage play is being rehearsed in full swing. Fang Qingrou originally wanted to put the work "A Dream of Red Mansions" on the stage, but thinking that this is a feudal society, the Dream of Red Mansions tells the right and wrong of a big family too thoroughly, fearing that it will lead to To cause unnecessary trouble. Later, Gongsun Luyi proposed to move the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan here, so that ancient women could sober up and avoid digging wild vegetables!
  The performance time was posted on the gates of Xishantang and Xiduhui three days in advance. People rushed to tell each other, and the tickets were quickly sold out.

Shen Yufei excitedly went to see Rong Yan and others with five tickets to watch the performance, but no one except Prince Rong went.

Rong Yan wanted to go, but since Qian went to the Princess Mansion, he went crazy and tried to make things difficult for Rong Yan. He used the power of the Qian family to get Rong Huan an official position in the court. He was already famous. The second son of King Pingchang, who was away from home, gained the favor of many officials when he entered the court for the first time.

Queen Qian was very happy and personally proposed the marriage of Xue Yun'er, the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, to Rong Huan. She made the decision on her own without consulting the emperor or notifying the Xue family.

After all, the Xue family is a second-class family, and the legitimate daughter has the opportunity to be the queen. Now she is accused of being given to the second son of Prince Pingchang as his wife. They are very dissatisfied, but they understand that the Xue family and the Qian family are in the same rope. Grasshopper, as a fellow supporter of the Sixth Prince, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to suppress it. If internal fighting breaks out at this time, it will not be good for anyone.

The Holy Emperor was not happy either, but the Queen's decree had already been issued to the Xue family and Pingchang Palace. To withdraw at this time would really be a slap in the Queen's face. Therefore, in the following days, the Holy Emperor did not go to the Queen's Palace even once to vent his unhappiness. .

Therefore, Rong Yan really wasn't in the mood to go to the show. If he didn't go to Situ Xiao, he wouldn't go either. If Situ Xiao didn't go, Situ Feng, the sister-in-law, would stay with his sister.

Neither of them were going, so Shen Yufei had no choice but to go with Prince Rong. Seeing Song Xingzhi next to Prince Rong, he stupidly asked, "General Song, come with us. I have more votes, so you don't have to worry about the tickets."

Rong Qi looked at Shen Yufei like a fool, "Have you forgotten who the boss of Xishantang is?"

Shen Yufei suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, with Miss Fang here, General Song doesn't need to buy a ticket at all."

Rong Yan, who was beside himself, looked even darker in silence.

Sigh... Nothing goes smoothly at all.

Queen Qian naturally understands His Majesty’s attitude, but that’s what she wants to do! She asked King Pingchang to weigh up which son was more suitable to be the heir apparent.

Rong Yan belongs to the third prince's faction, and he already has the position of heir apparent. It is known to everyone in the capital that the little girl from the eldest princess's family admires him. If these two families really become in-laws, then it will be like adding support to Prince Rong. But if Rong Yan loses his position as the heir apparent, what will happen even if the Lord of Pingning County likes him? The eldest princess will never allow her daughter to marry a useless person.

Thinking of this, Queen Qian was in a good mood. When her son sat in that position, everything today would be worth it.

"Go and prepare some pastries that His Majesty likes to eat. It's almost time. It's time for us to go and coax him."

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

On the day when Xishantang performed again, there was a long queue at the gate. This scene reminded Fang Qingrou of her time at Baiweizhai. People also queued up early to listen to the follow-up to "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

There are actually no entertainment projects in Lingbei. Apart from listening to music and watching dances, this is the first time there is such a performance.

Fang Qingrou saw Prince Rong and others from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Prince Rong pretended to be supportive and avoided the ceremony, and followed her into the Xishan Hall.

Sitting down in the best seat, Fang Qingrou said with some embarrassment, "I want to warn everyone in advance. I'm afraid women will love this show more."

"It doesn't matter, we just find it new and come here to join in the fun."

With Prince Rong's words, Fang Qingrou said nothing more. Just as all the snacks and refreshments were served, Fang Qingrou felt blessed and then left to go about her business. Prince Rong said to Song Xingzhi, "You, a virgin daughter-in-law, are very capable, so go ahead and enjoy yourself."

"Can't Miss Gongsun do it?"

Prince Rong immediately made amends, "Who said that our greenery is the most powerful! We are both civil and military and can also cure diseases!"

"Yes, yes, your unmarried daughters-in-law are all great, how about you also consider me as a brother? I haven't settled yet." Shen Yufei sighed.

"This is easy to handle. I'm afraid half of the noble ladies in Kyoto are here today. You should take a good look at each other. If you find someone suitable, ask your father to come to propose marriage."

Prince Rong was just a joke, but this fool Shen Yufei really took it seriously, looking around as if his sweetheart was in the Xishan Hall.

Whoa~ the lights suddenly went out, a beam of light instantly illuminated the center, and the performance officially began.

Along with the melodious music, the daughter of the Wang family threw the embroidered ball, the princes and grandsons threw thousands of colored balls, and the colored balls hit Xue Pinglang alone. When the master of the Wang family saw that the person who got the hydrangea turned out to be a down-and-out young man in shabby clothes, he immediately wanted to regret his marriage. The music also changed at this time, and the thumping drum sound hit everyone's heart, making everyone become nervous unconsciously.

Wang Baochuan couldn't do it, so he high-fived his father three times and completely cut off the relationship. From then on, he and Xue Pinggui lived a life of poverty.

This time the performance only ended when Xue Pinggui joined the army. Everyone was still unfinished and speculated about the plot behind it.

"Let me see, either Xue Pinggui died in battle, or he returned victorious as a general, and everyone was happy."

"I think the latter is more likely."

"Oh, this Miss Wang is so brave. She doesn't hesitate to sever ties with the family and make the poor boy go away."

"There is nothing we can do. Who told the poor boy to get the hydrangea? If the contract is broken, then the Wang family's reputation will be lost."

"That's true. Mr. Wang is also confused. Reputation is so important."

Fang Qingrou was not surprised at all when she heard the discussion below. In this era, isn't it just that the reputation is so great? It happened that something with no reputation appeared in the house. It was terrible, very terrible!
  Wei Huanzhen squatted next to Mrs. Song and helped pickle pickles. She never dreamed that she, the mother of a general, could make pickles herself! Her white and tender hands, which she had raised for more than ten years, were now wrinkled after being soaked in salt water. She wanted to quit but couldn't, so she could only endure it.

Old Mrs. Song didn't care whether she was happy or not, she was working hard. Her pickles were the best. When the jar was ready, she asked Xiaorou to take it to the Xishan Hall and prepare side dishes for the guests!

"Madam, this is enough." Wei Huanzhen whispered.

"It's not enough. This jar of pickles won't last long."

Wei Huanzhen felt so miserable that her hands hurt from rubbing them! (End of chapter)
