Ye Zhen didn't know about the mustard seed garden. She brought Mo Rongyi out today because she hadn't seen him for a long time. Some words were inconvenient to say in the palace, but it was more convenient to say them outside. This little prince seemed to have grown up, but his playful heart was still not small.
The mustard seed garden was not in the downtown area of the capital, but in a large mansion on the outskirts of the capital. There was a huge garden inside, and a large stage was built in the middle of the garden. Now the opera "Farewell My Concubine" was being sung on the stage.
Ye Zhen had never been interested in listening to plays, but it was said that this play was written by Qi Yanling herself to relieve boredom. Later, it was lost to the common people for some reason.
"Yao Yao, let's go to the front." Mo Rongyi took Ye Zhen's hand and walked to the front. "Did you see that? Boss Mei is on the stage."
"I didn't know that you like to listen to plays. I almost thought you were a playboy." Ye Zhen said grumpily.
Mo Rongyi said grumpily, "How is listening to plays a playboy? Do you think everyone in this garden is a playboy?"
Ye Zhen curled her lips. "When did you like to listen to plays?"
"Recently, everyone likes to go to the mustard seed garden. This prince is just here to join in the fun." Mo Rongyi said with a smile. He didn't understand much about the opera, but he loved to be lively.
"What's the background of this Boss Mei?" Ye Zhen glanced at Yu Ji on the stage and didn't think he was very good.
Mo Rongyi smiled. "He sings well, and I heard that he is also good-looking, more beautiful than a woman."
Ye Zhen knew that the Hua Dan of the troupe were all men. Even if he looked like a woman after putting on makeup, did he really look like a woman?
"Have you seen him?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mo Rongyi shook his head. "No."
Ye Zhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes and found a place to sit down with him. Soon, a young boy dressed as a servant brought pastries, mixed fruits, and hot tea. Mo Rongyi put an ingot of silver on the table.
"It seems that the boss of the mustard seed garden really knows how to make money." Just watching a play costs an ingot of silver. How much does he earn in a day?
"Don't tell my brother that we are here to watch the play." Mo Rongyi said.
While they were talking, the play on the stage came to an end, but there was some commotion at the front.
"So noisy." Mo Rongyi said snappily.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly and looked at the position in front of her. She seemed to see a familiar figure.
"Who is the man in front who wants to see Boss Mei?" Ye Zhen pointed to a man in front of her and asked.
Mo Rongyi took a look. "Oh, that person. Liang Chun, right? You've never seen her before?"
"I have." Ye Zhen nodded thoughtfully. Wasn't it Lu Fang-er who insisted on marrying Marquis Liang? "What is he doing?"
"I heard that Liang Chun goes to the mustard seed garden every day. I think she's quarreling with someone because of Boss Mei." Mo Rongyi stood up. "Isn't that Benwang's uncle?"
Ye Rou looked at the man who was arguing with Liang Chun. He looked to be in his fifties and was currently arguing with Liang Chun until his face was red. He was indeed the famous opera fan in the capital.
"Why did Prince Ji quarrel with Liang Chun?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
"Pass!" Mo Rongyi shouted, already walking towards the place where the quarrel took place.
Liang Chun looked like he was drunk. He pointed at King Ji and shouted, "Why should an old thing like you occupy Boss Mei? I'm telling you, today I'm going to take Boss Mei out of the mustard seed garden. What are you going to do about it?"
King Ji was so angry that his beard was about to curl up. "You … Who doesn't know what kind of virtue you have? What will happen if you take Boss Mei away? Liang Chun, as long as Benwang is here, don't even think about taking Boss Mei back! "
"You old thing, how good do you think you are?!" Liang Chun shouted, reaching out to hit King Ji.
"I'm better than you in any way. Humph, you even hit your own wife for a catamite. Do you think no one in the capital knows?" King Ji shouted.
Liang Chun was so angry that he threw a punch at King Ji. Originally, he couldn't hit King Ji, but someone pushed him from behind. Liang Chun's punch landed on King Ji's face.
"Liang Chun, you even dare to hit a prince!" Mo Rongyi's eyes widened as he pointed at Liang Chun and shouted.
Ye Zhen stood in the same place without moving. Some people under the stage dispersed to avoid trouble, while others stood on the sidelines to watch the fun. Her position was neither too close nor too far, so she could see everything.
She looked thoughtfully at Boss Mei standing behind King Ji. If she was not mistaken, he was the one who pushed King Ji just now.
In the eyes of others, he seemed to be telling King Ji to be careful, but from her point of view, she saw him push Boss Mei.
Interesting.
Seeing that Liang Chun had been beaten by Mo Rongyi, Ye Zhen said to Xue Lin behind her, "Go and call the little prince back."
Ye Zhen turned and left the mustard seed garden, waiting outside for Xue Lin to drag Mo Rongyi out. "Go back to the palace, I have other things to do."
"No way!" Mo Rongyi shouted. "We just came out, and we haven't had enough fun yet."
"I'll find you next time." Ye Zhen smiled. "I'm warning you, don't run off to play again. If your brother blames you, I won't plead with you."
Mo Rongyi followed the palace servant back to the palace with a depressed face.
"Xue Lin, go and find out who this Boss Mei is, and what happened to Liang Chun beating his wife." Ye Zhen whispered to Xue Lin. She didn't want to pay much attention to Lu Fang's affairs, but thinking of Old Madam Lu and Lu Shiming's feelings, she decided to inquire about it.
Back home, Ye Zhen went to greet Pei Shi.
"Is everything okay in the palace today?" Pei Shi asked Ye Zhen to sit beside her and asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Nothing, the empress dowager just asked me a few questions."
Pei Shi touched her head. "Well, the empress dowager used to regard you as a princess. Now that you are going to be the empress, you should be more respectful and cautious to the empress dowager than before."
"Mother, I know." Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, I heard something today. Did Liang Chun beat Lu Fang?"
"Fang 'er was beaten?" Pei Shi looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "Where did you hear it?"
Ye Zhen was a little surprised. How could Pei Shi not know about it? Didn't Ji Wang say that everyone knew? Could it be that Lu Fang deliberately hid it from the Lu family? "I just saw Liang Chun quarreling with someone."
Pei Shi frowned and said, "Does Liang Chun think that the Lu family has no power and influence, so she can beat and scold Fang at will?"
Although the other two branches have been at loggerheads with each other, hearing that her niece was beaten, Pei Shi felt that if the Lu family did not come forward, no one would know that Lu Fang was bullied to death in the Liang family. It was impossible to count on Liu Shi and the second branch.
Ye Zhen said, "Mother, I've sent someone to inquire about it. I'll know what happened soon."
