Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Traveling across the universe and heading towards the wider sky is what Meng Xiyue has always longed for, but has never achieved.

Looking at Ye Rong's surprised eyes, Meng Xiyue smiled bitterly. She was too naive.

Ye Rong grew up in a privileged family and grew up surrounded by celebrities. All his paths were arranged for him by the Ye family.

He probably had never even left the capital, so how could he be willing to give up his power and status in the capital and go out to suffer?

"Mr. Ye, I'm a little tired today. If there's nothing else, let's talk another day."

"Sorry to bother you."

Ye Rong quickly apologized, and then said, "Princess, I will seriously consider what you said."

Ye Rong was indeed a man of action. In less than five days, he found Meng Xiyue again.

"Princess Yong'an, I have resigned from my position as a teacher at Donglinyuan and will be leaving the capital in three days."

Meng Xiyue was surprised that he made such a big decision so quickly.

"You have to really think about it. This road is thousands of times more difficult than your previous road."

There may even be a risk to one’s life.

"I have enjoyed a comfortable life for too long, and I have forgotten what the world is like."

Ye Rong sighed, "As you said, I always judge things from a high vantage point, but I never know what life is like outside."

"For me, knowledge is everything, but for others, it is not the case. I want to see the world and understand everyone's life."

“I want to find the meaning of life.”

He used to think that as long as he studied hard, becoming a great scholar like his grandfather would be his ultimate dream.

But even if I become a person like my grandfather, I still can't solve many confusions.

"Then congratulations on breaking free from the shackles. I believe that Master Ye will achieve great things in the future."

Meng Xiyue was really happy for him. He was able to figure everything out so quickly and give up the power and wealth in front of him. This was enough to show that he was a very wise man.

Ye Rong is a scholar, but not a nerd. He has a sharp mind and can understand things at a glance.

Meng Xiyue saw the figure of a great man in him.

"Thank you for your advice, Princess."

Ye Rong bowed deeply to Meng Xiyue.

"I wonder if Princess has time today. My grandfather wants to see you."

"Your grandfather?" Meng Xiyue's eyes widened. "Hasn't Mr. Ye Xiu seen any visitors for over a year?"

As a literary giant, Ye Xiu is visited by many students every day, some wanting to become his disciple, and some wanting to learn from him.

Some court ministers also went to pay their respects.

But Mr. Ye Xiu was old and tired of dealing with it, so he closed his door to visitors a year ago.

"I don't see any guests, but the princess is a guest invited by my grandfather, so it's naturally different."

"Mr. Ye Xiu wants to see me, so I have time. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Ye. I will go and wash up."

It is polite to wash yourself clean before meeting the great scholar.

After Meng Xiyue finished packing, she took out a book from the bottom of the box. She stroked it gently, then carefully put it in her arms.

Meng Xiyue couldn't help but feel excited about meeting the legendary great scholar.

She was not an obsessive admirer, nor was she the kind of student who wanted to meet someone all his life.

But I also grew up listening to the teachings of Mr. Ye Xiu.

Especially Mei Ran, the person she admires most is also Mr. Ye Xiu.

She went to see him for herself and also for Sister Mei.

"Princess, do you seem a little nervous?"

Ye Rong asked uncertainly.

"Isn't it normal to be nervous when meeting an important person like your grandfather?"

You know, some people spend their entire lives just to see him.

If I say that my identity as Master Mo Ran is worth five cities.

Then Mr. Ye Xiu is worth half a country, let alone a big country like Yuanqing or Nanrong.

"I thought you didn't respect my grandfather, because after you knew I was Ye Rong, you didn't flatter me at all."

Generally, people who want to meet my grandfather will try their best to please him, hoping that he can introduce them to them.

But during the few times he spent time with Meng Xiyue, he didn't have such a feeling at all, as if he was just an ordinary person to her.

"You are you, and your grandfather is your grandfather. These are two different things. Besides, if it was your grandfather who said those words to me that day, I would have responded mercilessly."

Meng Xiyue is not a person who fears authority. Since she was a child, whenever she saw her teacher making mistakes, she would point them out directly.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

After all, everyone makes mistakes, and we cannot glorify his mistakes just because he is an authority.

"The princess is so courageous."

When Ye Rong heard this, he wanted to kneel down to her. Even the emperor was always polite when he met his grandfather, and no one had ever refuted his grandfather.

He couldn't help but look forward to the scene of their meeting.

Soon, the two arrived at Ye Mansion.

Meng Xiyue looked at the courtyard in front of her, which was simple yet elegant.

I finally understood what low-key luxury meant.

The Ye Mansion does not have a magnificent appearance, but every corner of it exudes exquisiteness.

Even the pebbles on the ground were rounder and more translucent than any she had ever seen, and the bamboos planted on the side were all extremely rare dragon-scale bamboos.

She knew this bamboo because it was planted in Prince Qi's Mansion, and Xie Junyi also liked this kind of bamboo very much.

But there were only a few trees in Prince Qi’s mansion, but there was a whole forest of them here.

"Rong'er."

A middle-aged man was walking towards them. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Ye Rong's, and he exuded elegance.

"Vice President Ye."

Without any introduction, Meng Xiyue knew that the person in front of her was the vice president of Donglin Academy, Mr. Ye Wen.

Ye Wen raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Are you Princess Yong'an?"

"Yes."

"You were the one who persuaded Rong'er to resign from his position as a teacher at Donglinyuan and leave the capital?"

Faced with his questioning, Meng Xiyue was stunned for a moment.

"I'm just suggesting that Vice President Ye's use of the word 'bewitching' is really inappropriate."

"Father, I wanted to go out for a walk. I don't want to be trapped here forever. This is my own decision and has nothing to do with Princess Yong'an."

Ye Rong explained.

Ye Wen glanced at him and said, "You are so ignorant that you don't even know you are being fooled. Do you know that if you leave the capital, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold again?"

"The world is so big, there is more than just one capital. I can gain a foothold anywhere."

Ye Rong lowered his head and retorted in a low voice.

Obviously, he was a filial child, and this was probably the first time he rebelled against his father.

"You will regret your decision sooner or later, so don't come begging me then."

Ye Wen felt a little embarrassed when his son refuted him in front of outsiders.

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing that the father and son had a falling out over this matter, Meng Xiyue asked with some concern.

"Can you... still leave the capital?"
