The concubine is so charming

Chapter 981 Is the Fire Burning to Your Door?

Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the Ministry of Rites, sent a message to the palace, and soon received a reply. Early the next morning, after solemn washing and dressing, she hurriedly entered the palace.

Knowing that her mother was coming to see her, Meng Rou was very happy and told Su Yao in advance that she could not go to Qifeng Palace to play with little Bao'er this morning.

Su Yao turned her head and told Yufu: "Mrs. Zhang rarely enters the palace, so let someone prepare some gifts and send them there. It's not good for people to return empty-handed."

The younger brother's mother-in-law has entered the palace, and as an elder sister, she always helps Mu Qingchen gain more favors.

"Princess, don't worry, this servant will go down and prepare herself."

"it is good."

After Mrs. Zhang entered the palace, she was quickly invited to Yikun Palace: "I have seen Concubine Meng."

Meng Rou hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother up: "Mother, I told you a long time ago that you don't need to have so many etiquettes when you come to the palace."

"You and I don't need these vain rituals between mother and daughter, but outsiders are watching from the sidelines. It's not easy for others to say that your natal family doesn't understand the rules. Now you are the only concubine in the harem. You must pay extra attention to every movement, and you must not be found by someone."

"Let my mother worry about me."

"As long as you live well, mother will come to salute every day, and she will be happy in her heart."

"I knew that my mother loved me the most. By the way, my mother sent a post yesterday, saying that she had something to tell me. I don't know what it is?"

"Whether this matter is big or small, your father thought about it for a long time, and he still asked me to come into the palace and talk to you. You are in the palace, and there is a lot of news that you don't know. It was published in the bookstore a while ago. Come out a biography of Linghu..."

"Mother said it was Legend of the Fox?" Meng Rou's eyes lit up slightly.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help asking: "Could it be that you heard about it in the palace?"

Could this spirit fox facsimile have such a great influence?
"If it's something else, I might not know it, but if it's about the Legend of the Fox, I've read it a long time ago."

"Did you have someone buy it from outside the palace?"

"That's not true. Tell mother about this matter, and mother should not tell others."

"Mother will definitely keep it a secret for you."

"It's not really a secret, it's just that the eldest princess doesn't like to publicize it, and the person who wrote this book of Linghu is the eldest princess."

Zhang's face was full of surprise: "This...is actually the eldest princess?"

"That's right, I also accidentally saw the manuscript of the eldest princess two days ago, and only then did I know that there was also the previously popular Getaway, which was also written by the eldest princess." Meng Rou said with a look of honor Yan Yan's expression, "I also helped the eldest princess revise the manuscript!"

Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath: "If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you today, and I have to ask to see the eldest princess again."

Hearing this, Meng Rou was slightly taken aback: "Mother, could it be that this matter is related to the Legend of the Fox written by the eldest princess?"

"That's right, this Legend of the Fox caused troubles outside. The actors who sang this play were all beaten, and it is said that some people were seriously injured."

"It's just a show, how can something happen?"

"Let's go see the eldest princess now, and you will understand after I talk about it."

"it is good."

Su Yao was walking around the garden with little Bao'er. Recently, a lot of flowers bloomed, and there were little butterflies flying around, which made little Bao'er very fussy. She always had to chase and run back and forth many times before she was reconciled.

Yufu walked over quickly: "Princess, Concubine Meng and her mother, Mrs. Zhang, are here to see you."

"Come to see me?"

"Yes."

"Invite them in quickly, and prepare tea in the main hall."

"Yes."

Su Yao asked the palace staff to coax little Bao'er to play in the yard, while he returned to the main hall.

"The minister's wife has met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Mrs. Zhang, you don't have to be polite, please sit down quickly."

"It's really impolite to disturb the eldest princess rashly today, but there is one thing that I have to report to the eldest princess."

"I don't know what it is, but I need to trouble Mrs. Zhang to make a special trip here?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Meng Rou, a little embarrassed: "At first I wanted to tell Concubine Meng about this, but I didn't expect to learn from Concubine Meng that it was the Eldest Princess who wrote the Legend of the Spirit Fox."

"The work of practicing pens when I have nothing to do, made Mrs. Zhang laugh."

"The voice and emotion written by the eldest princess are full of emotion, especially the sincere relationship between the fox demon son and the noble lady, which makes people moved and can't let go of it for a long time. After reading it, it took several days for the courtier's wife to calm down, but maybe it's hard to say. , such a good story may not be liked by everyone.”

Su Yao's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood Zhang's implication: "I remember that this biography of Linghu was adapted into an opera, and it should have appeared on the stage of the theater recently, but what kind of joke did this play make? "

"I can't say it's a joke, but it caused a lot of controversy. Today, the theater began to sing The Legend of the Fox. I went to watch it with several ladies, but the show was less than half finished. Mrs. Miaoyang ..."

Zhang's words were slightly tactful and recounted the previous events.

The more Su Yao listened, the more obvious the coldness in his eyes became, until finally there was no smile on his face.

Seeing the coldness on Su Yao's face, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help feeling more and more anxious.

Su Yao was overwhelmed, and smiled at Mrs. Zhang and said, "I was too angry for a while, and I made Mrs. Zhang a joke."

"Where, the minister's wife didn't expect that it was just a few words of verbal disputes that caused a lot of discussion in the entire capital. Especially when someone beat someone in the troupe, it is really outrageous."

"I know about this matter, thank you Mrs. Zhang for making this special trip."

"If the eldest princess said so, she would offend the minister's wife."

Meng Rou listened from the side, and felt that those people were just looking for trouble. How many picture books about gifted scholars and beauties are there in the market now?
"Eldest princess, Shen Jing once said before that there are still people who are secretly pointing him out. Could it be that someone is pushing behind this matter?"

As long as Su Yao is involved, Meng Rou can't help but think more.

Su Yao thought about it carefully, then shook his head slightly: "It shouldn't be, no matter it's Happy Journey or Legend of the Fox, I let other people print it, and I know from the beginning to the end that these two picture books are written by me." Very few."

"If not, then why? And that Mrs. Miaoyang, even if she doesn't like it and doesn't like it, there is no need to talk nonsense outside, right?"

"What it is for, I am afraid that only Mrs. Miao Yang knows in her heart."

"Princess, do you want people to suppress the rumors?"

"No, there are many things that cannot be broken or established. The people are willing to discuss, so let them discuss. The more people involved, the more different voices will come out. Meng Rou, you are very lucky. You have a different temperament, but Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Zhang are willing to tolerate you. But there are many women in the world who are not so lucky. They also want to live more freely, but the heavy rules and constraints are too heavy, and they have no ability to overthrow .”

"The eldest princess means that she wants to make women live more freely through this matter?"

Su Yao shook her head slightly. Even if she is the eldest princess, her strength alone cannot compete with this era.

"I just don't want to make the situation worse... The others can only take one step at a time."

The fire has reached my door, and I have to put it out no matter what.

Meng Rou bit her lips slightly, and there seemed to be some emotion flashing in her eyes.
