Chapter 1318: "The Legend of Zhen Huan" - Shen Meizhuang and Feng Ruozhao, Xiao Yanyan's Thoughts

Chapter 1319: Shen Meizhuang and Feng Ruozhao in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Xiao Yanyan's thoughts

"Hello, Your Highness."

The girl who walked in was none other than Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun is also a character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Xia Dongchun in the play is the daughter of Xia Wei, the captain of the Baoyi Army. She is of noble birth and is arrogant in the palace because of her family background. When she first entered the palace, she made things difficult for An Lingrong during the selection. After entering the palace, she opposed An Lingrong everywhere and tried to show her favor to the queen. On the first day of paying respects to the queen, she wanted to slap An Lingrong in the face, so Nian Shilan took the opportunity to attack her. Soon, Nian Shilan ordered her to be given "Yi Zhang Hong" and was miserably eliminated.

From the first moment he saw Xia Dongchun, Jiang Chen felt Xia Dongchun's arrogance.

However, it is normal for a woman of status to be arrogant.

"Raise your head." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Xia Dongchun raised her head.

"Stay." Seeing Xia Dongchun, Jiang Chen thought of Shen Liuliu in the first world and Hanxiang whom he had met before.

Xia Dongchun, Shen Liuliu and Hanxiang were played by the same actor in the previous life.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Dongchun bowed and left at Jiang Chen's signal.

Soon, another maid came.

She was none other than Shen Meizhuang.

"Meet Your Highness." Shen Meizhuang bowed.

"Well, get up." Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Shen Meizhuang.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen said silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, the sign-in is successful, and ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper are obtained. 】

"Ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper?"

"This is the talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate-level talismans."

"I got it for the fourth time I signed in."

"Golden Armor Talisman, Fixed Body Talisman... These are all intermediate-level talismans."

"Elementary-level talismans correspond to first-class warriors, elementary-level talismans correspond to innate warriors, and elementary-level high-level talismans correspond to master warriors. Intermediate-level talismans correspond to grand masters."

"Intermediate-level talismans correspond to the realm of martial kings."

Shen Meizhuang, a character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

She is Concubine Hui in the play. The daughter of Shen Zishan. She entered the palace in the same year as Zhen Huan and grew up with Zhen Huan since childhood. She came from a famous family and was determined to find a good home for herself. A typical lady from a noble family, she is quite magnanimous, generous and graceful, dares to love and hate, and values ​​sisterhood. When she first entered the palace, she was ignorant of the world and showed her edge, becoming the first target of being framed. Later, she saw that the emperor was ruthless and had no hope for him. She gradually fell in love with Wen Shichu and became pregnant with his child, but later died of hemorrhage.

"Shen Meizhuang."

"I didn't expect to see her so soon."

When Shen Meizhuang in the play first entered the palace, she quickly gained the emperor's appreciation and favor with her outstanding family background and dignified and generous personality. She was not only beautiful, but also well-read, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was a model of a lady from a noble family. The emperor doted on her and named her Shen Guiren, asking her to assist Concubine Hua in managing the affairs of the six palaces.

At that time, Shen Meizhuang was full of vigor and vitality, full of longing and expectations for the future. She felt that she had finally found her destination in life and could rely on the emperor's favor to live a stable life in the harem. However, the good times did not last long. Shen Meizhuang soon suffered the first major blow in her life-the false pregnancy storm.

In order to conceive the emperor's child as soon as possible, Shen Meizhuang secretly asked the imperial physician Jiang to prescribe a prescription that would help her get pregnant, and also asked the imperial physician Liu Bin from the same hometown to take care of her body. At the same time, Concubine Hua also arranged for the little maid Fuling to lurk beside Shen Meizhuang and monitor her every move at all times. When Shen Meizhuang found that her menstruation had not come and she was extremely addicted to acid, she thought she was really pregnant and told the emperor with joy.

The emperor was also very happy when he learned about it, and he loved Shen Meizhuang even more than before. However, just when Shen Meizhuang was about to give birth, Fuling suddenly appeared with a pile of blood-stained clothes in her hand, accusing Shen Meizhuang of leaving traces of her menstruation, claiming that Shen Meizhuang was not pregnant at all, but was deceiving the emperor. This sudden change shocked everyone present, and the emperor was furious.

Faced with such a situation, Shen Meizhuang had no way to defend herself. She foolishly believed that the imperial physician Liu Bin could clear her grievances, but Liu Bin had already been arranged by Concubine Hua and others, and fled at the critical moment. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to say that Shen Meizhuang had asked him for a fake pregnancy prescription (the real prescription had been stolen long ago), so Shen Meizhuang's guilt seemed to be confirmed.

The emperor looked at the evidence in front of him, and his disappointment and anger were beyond words. He never thought that Shen Meizhuang, whom he loved deeply, would use a fake pregnancy to compete for favor, which made him feel that he was completely deceived. Driven by anger and disappointment, the emperor did not carefully investigate the truth of the matter, and directly deprived Shen Meizhuang of the title of Hui Guiren, demoted her to a promise, and stopped at Xianyue Pavilion, not allowing anyone to visit.

Shen Meizhuang, who was demoted to a promise and stopped at Xianyue Pavilion, was filled with despair and chill. She lived alone in that remote and deserted palace, without the emperor's favor, and without the prosperity and bustle of the past. She began to reflect on her feelings for the emperor and realized how fragile and unreliable the emperor's favor was in the complex harem.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't understand why she was treated like this when she had done nothing wrong. Her trust in the emperor completely collapsed and she felt that she had been ruthlessly abandoned by the emperor. During this period, Shen Meizhuang experienced countless hardships and pains. She was framed many times by Concubine Hua and others, and was even pushed into the lake by a eunuch, causing her to be in a coma for several days.

She also contracted the epidemic and was in critical condition. When she was most helpless, it was Wen Shichu who took care of her at the risk of his life despite the suspension order, which made her see hope again. Wen Shichu's sincerity and warmth made Shen Meizhuang feel the long-lost care and love. She began to regard Wen Shichu as an emotional sustenance, and her resentment towards the emperor and her dependence on Wen Shichu gradually made her heart move away from the emperor.

Under Wen Shichu's careful care, Shen Meizhuang's body gradually recovered. The two of them got along day and night, and their feelings became deeper and deeper. Shen Meizhuang was attracted by Wen Shichu's kindness, integrity and talent, and Wen Shichu was also moved by Shen Meizhuang's strength, courage and beauty. They confided their depression and helplessness to each other, comforted and supported each other. Shen Meizhuang finally realized that the person she really loved was Wen Shichu, not the heartless emperor.

However, Shen Meizhuang also knew clearly that this relationship was taboo and could not be accepted by the world. She and Wen Shichu had different identities. One was the emperor's concubine and the other was an imperial physician. Their love was destined to be fruitless. But Shen Meizhuang was already disheartened. She no longer cared about the secular perspective and the constraints of rules. She just wanted to be with Wen Shichu. Even if she could only have this love for a short time, it was much better than suffering all the grievances beside the emperor.

The love between Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu finally ended with Shen Meizhuang's death. In an accident, Shen Meizhuang was pregnant with Wen Shichu's child. In order to keep the child, Shen Meizhuang pretended to change her mind and approach the emperor to regain his favor. Wen Shichu also helped her conceal the actual month of the fetus and took care of her body personally. However, just when Shen Meizhuang was about to give birth, tragedy occurred.

After Zhen Huan gave birth to twins, the Queen's camp set up a blood test to make the emperor think that Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu had an affair and that the child she gave birth to was Wen Shichu's child. Although Zhen Huan successfully broke the situation, An Lingrong had long seen that the person Wen Shichu liked was not Zhen Huan but Shen Meizhuang. So An Lingrong used words to stimulate Wen Shichu, and sent her maid to inform Shen Meizhuang, who was pregnant and not at the blood test.

Shen Meizhuang was anxious when she heard someone slandering Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu, and she dragged her heavy body to the scene in a hurry. But she got the news that Wen Shichu had castrated himself. She fell to the ground and was frightened and had a difficult delivery. After giving birth to her daughter Jinghe, Shen Meizhuang died of hemorrhage. Shen Meizhuang's death was the ultimate expression of her despair for the emperor. She used her life to announce to the world that she had completely given up on the emperor.

Her life, from a favorite concubine to an abandoned woman, to a tragic woman who died for love, was full of tears and sorrow. And her love story is so sad that it has moved countless people.

As a best friend, Zhen Huan, who knew everything, felt very sympathetic to Shen Meizhuang and felt very sorry for her. Although Zhen Huan felt that Shen Meizhuang was foolish to fall in love with Wen Shichu, which was a taboo in the palace, Zhen Huan felt sorry for her good sister's fate and would not blame her. In addition, although Wen Shichu had always been secretly in love with Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan only regarded Wen Shichu as a neighbor's brother, not a lover, so even if Shen Meizhuang fell in love with Wen Shichu and got pregnant with his child, Zhen Huan would not hate Shen Meizhuang.

"However, no matter what, Shen Meizhuang is bold enough to wear a hat with the emperor."

When Jiang Chen saw Shen Meizhuang, he thought of the Queen Nan in "Thinking of Beauty".

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Meizhuang stood up.

"Raise your head and let me see it." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Shen Meizhuang looked up at Jiang Chen.

"Stay, um, go down first." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Shen Meizhuang bowed and turned to leave.

"Yanwan, come and rub my shoulders." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Wei Yanwan responded and stepped forward to rub Jiang Chen's shoulders.

Wei Yanwan's technique is good.

Very comfortable.

"Is your highness satisfied?" Wei Yanwan asked softly.

"Satisfied." Jiang Chen leaned on Wei Yanwan and enjoyed Wei Yanwan's service.

Well, this kind of service technique is rarely known by women in the first world.

"As long as your highness is satisfied." Wei Yanwan continued to serve Jiang Chen.

And Jiang Chen continued to call the next showgirl.

Soon, Geng Yuebin walked in.

"Meet your highness." Geng Yuebin bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen said.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently said in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, the sign-in was successful, and ten million-year-old ginsengs were obtained. ]

"Ten million-year-old ginsengs?"

Jiang Chen was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, this time the sign-in actually signed in a million-year-old ginseng.

Jiang Chen had some idea of ​​how precious 10,000-year-old ginseng was.

Ginseng that was a million years old was even more precious.

Even in the Tiannan Continent of the Fourth World, it was not easy to get ginseng that was a million years old.

This was a good thing, and a treasure that was hard to come by.

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female protagonist who signed in.

Geng Yuebin, a character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

In the play, she was the daughter of Geng Dejin. She was upright and kind, with a steady and dignified temperament, calm and forbearing, and she was not competitive with the world and was quite respected. She was once the target of revenge because she sent pregnancy-preserving medicine to Concubine Hua and she had a miscarriage soon after. She had been secretly helping Zhen Huan, and later used Zhen Huan's hand to root out Concubine Hua's party, and adopted Cao Qinmo's daughter Princess Wen Yi as her adopted daughter, and watched the turmoil in the palace from then on. After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she was named Imperial Noble Concubine. She found out the truth about the Queen's harm to Queen Chun Yuan and successfully overthrew her.

"Geng Yuebin..."

"Another character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

Geng Yuebin in the play is a descendant of a military family. She married Prince Yong very early and always looked like a non-confrontational person in Prince Yong's mansion. However, when she was in Prince Yong's mansion, she followed the secret order of Prince Yong and his mother Wuya Chengbi to give the abortion medicine to the pregnant Nian Shilan, which caused Nian Shilan to miscarry (actually it was done by Prince Yong and his mother). Therefore, she was retaliated by Nian Shilan and forced to drink safflower, which made her sick and unable to give birth again. But she knew the truth in her heart, so she silently took the blame for Prince Yong and his mother and kept silent about it, and Prince Yong was grateful for her kindness.

After Prince Yong ascended the throne and became emperor, she and Nian Shilan were canonized as concubines together. Nian Shilan was canonized as Hua Fei and she was canonized as Duan Fei. However, although she was respected as a concubine and equal to Hua Fei, because Hua Fei had a strong family behind her and had misunderstandings about her for many years, she was suppressed as much as possible, and she also avoided Hua Fei's limelight by staying at home for many years due to illness.

On the other hand, Emperor Yongzheng knew her efforts and grievances, and knew her character well. In addition to the years of husband and wife affection, he respected and trusted her very much. She usually kept silent, but once she spoke in public, her opinions were always very important.

In the play, Geng Yuebin first met Zhen Huan at the birthday party of Princess Wen Yi on the 100th day of her birth. She realized that Zhen Huan, who looked like Queen Chun Yuan and was kind to others, could help her defeat Concubine Hua. Later, when Zhen Huan was framed, she stood up to testify for her, which made Zhen Huan very grateful, and the two began to date. Later, during her recuperation, she was visited by Zhen Huan, who asked the imperial physician Wen Shichu to treat her, and her health gradually improved. When Zhen Huan was pregnant, she also reminded Zhen Huan to take precautions.

After Concubine Hua Nian Shilan committed suicide, Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan were filled with emotion. Suddenly, the news of Cao Qinmo's sudden death came out, and Concubine Duan secretly felt sad that her daughter, Princess Wen Yi, lost her mother at a young age. Zhen Huan applied to the emperor to let Concubine Duan, who was upright and loved children, adopt Princess Wen Yi, and the emperor finally agreed. After adopting Princess Wen Yi, Concubine Duan always treated her as her own daughter, and they had a deep affection for each other. Concubine Duan also said that her life had a lot more joy and hope since then.

After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, Concubine Duan was still her ally and helped her several times. When the six palaces were conferred titles, Concubine Duan was promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine, and the affairs of the harem were mainly decided by Empress Yi Xiu, Imperial Noble Concubine, Concubine Jing (Feng Ruozhao) and Concubine Xi (Zhen Huan). She assisted Zhen Huan in finding out the truth about the murder of Empress Chun Yuan and overthrowing the culprit Empress Ulanara Yi Xiu and her accomplices. After that, as Imperial Noble Concubine, she jointly managed the affairs of the harem with Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao and Concubine Xi Niu Hulu Zhen Huan.

After Emperor Yongzheng passed away and Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, she was honored as Imperial Noble Concubine Dowager. She fell seriously ill due to the grief of Emperor Yongzheng's death, and Princess Wenyi stayed by her side.

"Geng Yuebin was able to die of old age because she was willing to take the blame."

"Low-key, non-competitive, forbearing and wise."

No emperor would dislike someone like Geng Yuebin.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Geng Yuebin stood up.

"Are you Geng Dejin's daughter?" Jiang Chen asked.

Geng Yuebin's great-grandfather was named Geng Shilong.

After the unification of Liaodong in the early Qing Dynasty, although the Geng family was Han Chinese, they were still included in the Eight Banners and became a baoyi. In the Eight Banners Genealogy during the Qianlong period of history, the descendants of Geng Shilong's family were all included in the Bordered Yellow Banner baoyi and were under the jurisdiction of the Bordered Yellow Banner baoyi Zuoling. In the 42nd year of Kangxi, Concubine Yu Geng had the honor of participating in the selection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was subsequently selected to serve in the residence of Emperor Yongzheng. At that time, her identity was a gege (gege was not the emperor's daughter, but a concubine in the Qing Dynasty).

However, in this film and television fusion world, the timeline in the play has changed. Geng Yuebin only participated in the talent show now (in the film and television fusion world, the age was changed from fourteen to eighteen, so Geng Yuebin's situation actually changed because of the change in age).

"Yes." Geng Yuebin replied.

"I remember your father is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Geng Yuebin responded.

"Stay." Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Geng Yuebin, you go first."

"Yes." Geng Yuebin bowed and turned to leave.

"Your Highness knows Geng Yuebin's father?" Wei Yanwan asked.

"Well, I saw it when I was reading the information about the Ministry of Internal Affairs before." Jiang Chen ate a grape fed by Wei Yanwan, and then said: "This grape tastes good, but when I go to the third world next time, I will plant grapes on the lower-grade spiritual field. Maybe it tastes better."

"Planting grapes on the lower-grade spiritual field? Is it okay?" Wei Yanwan has been trained by the Plum Blossom Internal Guard and has also been to the fourth world, so she has seen a lot.

"Okay, we didn't do this before because we didn't have enough low-grade spiritual rice, but if we have enough low-grade spiritual rice, we need to find a way to cultivate spiritual fruit." Jiang Chen said.

"Then I have to wait." Wei Yanwan said.

"Our good days are still ahead. Yanwan, as long as you can practice step by step, you will definitely live forever in the future." Jiang Chen said.

"This is all thanks to Your Highness." Wei Yanwan replied.

"Feed me another grape." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Wei Yanwan picked up a grape.

"Use your mouth." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Highness..." Wei Yanwan shouted unwillingly, and then did it.

After Jiang Chen ate the grapes, he ate Wei Yanwan's lipstick.

"Your Highness, you still have to see the concubines." Wei Yanwan said.

"No hurry." Jiang Chen hugged Wei Yanwan and chatted.

There are many female protagonists who sign in in the Qing Dynasty, but even Yixiu has not turned evil now, so they can be cultivated. In Jiang Chen's opinion, as long as he is as ruthless as Yongzheng and Qianlong in the play, the final ending should be happy.

After a while, the next girl came in.

"Feng Ruozhao greets His Highness." The girl Feng Ruozhao bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Feng Ruozhao.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in." Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, sign in successfully, and get ten griffins. ]

"Ten griffins?"

"This is the sixth time I sign in and get ten griffins."

According to the system introduction, this griffin is the griffin in "Battle Through the Heavens", a fourth-level magic beast.

The griffin has feathers and fur like the sun. The lion-like hindquarters are covered with yellow-brown fur, and the eagle-like head and forelimbs are all covered with golden eagle feathers, but they may also be creamy white feathers with dark red spots. The feathers on their heads and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on their chests are vermilion, and the beaks and feet, like eagles, may range from transparent yellow to bright gold, and the claws are black.

Because of its large weight, the griffin cannot turn and circle as lightly as a bird, but it can still do quite a lot of aerial tricks without a rider. It can fly in any weather and has the instinct to sense weather changes. One reason why the griffin is difficult to tame is that it has a strong confidence in its ability to fly in the air and will not accept unreasonable orders from its rider.

At the same time, the griffin has superb hunting skills. Speed, agility, and natural claws make it amazing to see a griffin swooping down from the air to prey.

"The fourth-level magic beast griffin has the strength of a fighting spirit."

"This means that the griffin has the strength of a martial emperor."

"This is an incredible treasure."

Although Jiang Chen has a puppet of the martial god realm, the more griffins of the martial emperor realm, the better.

"This sign-in reward is good."

"Now there are a total of 60 griffins, but the air force of the Jiang family army has not yet been determined."

"The griffin is very powerful. If you want to become its master, you must also be very powerful. Now I am the only one in the Jiang family who is at the martial emperor level."

"It seems that this is a long way to go."

Jiang Chen looked at the sign-in heroine.

Feng Ruozhao, a character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

In the play, she is Concubine Jing. When Nian Shilan was a concubine, she was a princess in the room and suffered all kinds of difficulties and torture. She is clumsy in front of people, but in fact she is restrained and intelligent and hides her edge. Although she has no children, she helps Zhen Huan raise Princess Longyue. After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she acquiesced to the Queen's frame-up of Zhen Huan because she wanted to keep Princess Longyue by her side. After Zhen Huan talked with her, she agreed to keep Princess Longyue by Concubine Jing's side for a long time, and she was devoted to Zhen Huan again. She was promoted to Concubine Jing during the grand ceremony of conferring favors on the six palaces.

"Feng Ruozhao?"

"She is also a capable person like Geng Yuebin."

In the play, Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao is an old man around Yongzheng. She entered the palace on the same day as Concubine Hua. Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, she was a princess in Concubine Hua's room. After entering the palace, she was conferred the title of Concubine Jing. It can be said that Feng Ruozhao is a rare clear stream in the whole play. She is not aggressive, does not fight or compete, is gentle and introverted, treats people generously, and has no ambition. She does not show any tricks in front of the emperor to win favor, nor does she stir up trouble among concubines and flatter the powerful and trample on the weak.

However, as a member of Zhen Huan's party, Concubine Jing was promoted to Concubine He Jingde when Zhen Huan won a great victory. Her status could not be further promoted, and she also had her adopted daughter Longyue by her side. This can be said to be a big winner in the deep palace.

However, this is also related to Feng Ruozhao's personality.

Feng Ruozhao has a very special hobby. Unlike other women, she likes to raise cats, dogs, flowers and birds. She likes to raise turtles by nature.

What a person likes to do in daily life, this habit can best indicate the heart of this person. Concubine Hua likes flowers and brocade, and everything must be the best, so as to compete with others. She is the same, and prefers to live a vigorous life. And Feng Ruozhao likes to raise turtles, and the meaning of turtles is deep: use stillness to control movement, and keep a low profile.

In the play, in order to restrict the power of Concubine Hua and the Queen, Yongzheng named Feng Ruozhao, who had no offspring and no power from her mother's family, as Concubine Jing. The emperor gave her this title that year, probably because he saw the quiet characteristics of Concubine Jing. In addition, there is tolerance. In the past, Concubine Hua relied on her favor and was very arrogant and domineering. The emperor could not touch her casually because of Nian Gengyao. The emperor was worried, so he used the balancing technique at this time, asking Concubine Jing to help the Queen and Concubine Hua manage the harem, and let Concubine Jing's tolerance suppress Concubine Hua. Concubine Jing has been safe and sound for so many years, all thanks to the word "tolerance". The emperor used her as a chess piece, but Concubine Hua regarded her as an opponent, thinking that she was competing with her for favor, and ridiculed and insulted her everywhere.

When Concubine Hua expressed her disdain for her in front of everyone: she was too slow to settle accounts, her qualifications were not good, and she was incompetent despite being in a high position! In this regard, Concubine Jing tolerated it.

The word "tolerance" is a knife above one's head, and not everyone can do it. And she has endured for many years under Concubine Hua, but she has only the reputation of assisting the six palaces. Doesn't Concubine Jing know that she is just a chess piece used by the emperor and the queen mother to check and balance Concubine Hua? Of course she knows. But Concubine Jing knew better that to survive in the harem, one had to either be favored or useful. Feng Ruozhao chose the latter and worked hard to prove that he was worth being used.

So, Jing Fei took the blame for the emperor, but she didn't expose it, making the emperor feel guilty about it. Facing the arrogant Hua Fei, she didn't argue but showed weakness, forbearing and never disobeying. Hua Fei saw that Jing Fei was not favored, had no heirs, and was obedient and submissive. Hua Fei naturally didn't take Jing Fei seriously. If she didn't pose a threat to Hua Fei, she wouldn't touch her. This is Jing Fei's cleverness. If Jing Fei was jealous and unbridled like Qi Guiren, or was as deliberate and cautious as An Lingrong, she might have died in Hua Fei's hands long ago.

At the same time, Jing Fei Feng Ruozhao has always been very kind. Once she saw Zhen Huan getting close to the Fourth Prince in the Old Summer Palace, she found an opportunity to remind Zhen Huan: Don't be too kind in the palace, and be prudent and protect yourself. When Shen Meizhuang was wrongly accused of the fake pregnancy, Concubine Jing, as the head of the palace, did not rashly speak up for Shen Meizhuang, nor did she abruptly go to the emperor to plead for mercy.

Instead, when Shen Meizhuang was confined to the bedroom, she sneaked in to see her several times. It was Concubine Jing who acted so low-key that saved Shen Meizhuang's life. If Concubine Jing had not discovered that someone had tampered with the food, Shen Meizhuang would have been poisoned to death long ago.

From these two things, Concubine Jing neither touched the emperor's reverse scale nor offended the queen or Concubine Hua. While handling the matter silently, she also made two allies. It can be seen that Concubine Jing is a capable and low-key person. It is precisely because of these accumulated bits of goodwill that Zhen Huan chose Concubine Jing as the mother for her daughter Longyue when she decided to leave the palace for cultivation.

"In terms of family background, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as Nian Shilan; in terms of ruthlessness, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as Yixiu; in terms of scheming, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as Geng Yuebin; in terms of appearance, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as Zhen Huan; in terms of motherhood, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as Concubine Qi and Concubine Cao; in terms of singing and dancing talent, Feng Ruozhao is not as good as An Lingrong."

"It can be said that Feng Ruozhao's situation in the palace has always been good in every aspect, but not outstanding in any aspect, and Feng Ruozhao is so self-aware, so she can only endure."

"She endured the death of the queen who used her, the death of Concubine Hua who bullied her, and the death of the emperor who let her fall into the vortex of palace fighting. She is just like her turtle. Although she is timid and dare not speak out, she can live the longest among all creatures and become the ultimate winner."

Jiang Chen's mind was filled with relevant information about Feng Ruozhao.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Feng Ruozhao stood up.

"Raise your head." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Feng Ruozhao raised his head.

Jiang Chen looked at Feng Ruozhao.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, she looked like Princess Xiangxiang in the 1994 version of "The Book and the Sword".

Feng Ruozhao's father was the prefect of Qizhou, a fourth-rank official.

If this background was in the first world, her status would be very high, but now in the Qing Continent, she only needs his word to serve him obediently.

"Stay." Jiang Chen said and waved his hand.

Stay means to stay in the palace.

"Yes." Feng Ruozhao bowed and left.

Read

"Anything else?" Jiang Chen asked.

"To reply to Your Highness, there is no more." Wei Yanwan said.

"No, it's good, let's go eat." Jiang Chen stood up.

Although only An Lingrong, Shi Mengzhu, Geng Yuebin, Feng Ruozhao and Xia Dongchun were selected, it was not bad.

...

Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Yixiu asked when she saw Jiang Chen.

"Of course I miss you. Fourth sister-in-law, you don't go to the East Palace, I haven't touched you for a long time." Jiang Chen said while holding Yixiu's hand.

"Your Highness, this is Qing Dynasty." Yixiu said.

"So I call you Fourth Sister-in-law." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"..." Yixiu.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't you miss me?" Jiang Chen pulled Yixiu inside.

"No." Yixiu said.

"Why?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I'm living a good life now." Yixiu said the truth.

Before following Jiang Chen, she didn't know what she should do.

Marry and obey your husband.

She just wanted to manage Prince Yong's Mansion.

After Yinzhen died, she felt that the sky had fallen.

After Jiang Chen appeared as Yinzhen, she was more unwilling and wanted to find someone to rely on for herself.

During this period, she went to the first world and the fourth world, and experienced so many things, and she was no longer the same as before.

"Really? How good?" Jiang Chen pulled Yixiu to sit on the couch.

"Your Highness wants to know?" Yixiu looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"I'll let Your Highness know in a moment." Yixiu whispered in Jiang Chen's ear.

"Why wait a moment?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Because I have something to say to Your Highness." Yixiu said.

"What?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Just say something appropriate. Besides, I've seen my clansmen participating in the draft this time." Yixiu said.

"Your clansmen? Didn't I meet Ruyi?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Ulanara Ruyi's original name was Ulanara Qingying, but in the world of film and television integration, she is called Ulanara Ruyi.

"It's someone else." Yixiu replied.

"Ulanara Jinzhi? Isn't that the fourth sister-in-law?" Jiang Chen said.

Ulanara Jinzhi is a character in "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

She is also Yinzhen's main wife.

She is Yixiu's sister.

"What are you thinking about?" Yixiu whispered, "Your Highness, you are not going to say anything about my sister..." Yixiu didn't say the rest, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Chen firmly denied.

"Your Highness, I'm talking about someone else..." Yixiu whispered two names in Jiang Chen's ear.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen asked.

"According to the family's intention, they should stay by your side, but it also depends on your Highness's intention." Yixiu said.

"I'll pay attention." Jiang Chen's heart moved, and he couldn't wait to meet them.

"However, if they join, our relationship..." Yixiu said.

"There's no need to worry about that. Our Jiang family's things are also good for your family." In the Qing Continent, why did the Ulanara family send their daughters to the palace? It's not for profit.

Interests can change dynasties.

It can also make a family bow down.

With the Jiang family's control of the Qing Continent and the improvement of Jiang Chen's strength, it will be useless even if everyone opposes.

"That's right." Yixiu agreed deeply.

"It's getting late." Jiang Chen said to Yixiu.

"Then I'll let Your Highness feel it." Yixiu untied Jiang Chen's belt.

"Okay." Jiang Chen pulled Yixiu over.

This time, Jiang Chen came to Prince Yong's Mansion to cultivate feelings with Yixiu.

The next step is also a way to cultivate feelings.

...

Zhufeng Dynasty.

"Has the Western Xia army been defeated now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, Yuan Yuezheng and Du Siyu cooperated with Baona to defeat the Western Xia army. Now the Western Xia army has withdrawn to Western Xia, and all the cities of the Zhufeng Dynasty have been recovered." Zhao Rongan said.

"That's good. This time the Western Xia was defeated, and the northwest of the Central Continent can be stable for a while." Jiang Chen said.

"Although the Western Xia army was defeated, it will never be willing to accept it." Xiao Qing said.

"Since the founding of the country, the Western Xia has been fighting for years. This time the defeat has greatly reduced the national strength. I am afraid that it will use the Song Kingdom to restore its strength." Jiang Chen said.

"Use Song? Will Song negotiate with Xixia at this time?" Xiao Qing was slightly stunned and said, "Emperor Chengzhao of Song is not that stupid, right?"

"This matter is not something that Emperor Chengzhao can decide."

Jiang Chen said, "Now Song is fighting against Liao in the north, and Liangshan bandits and the Holy Church are wreaking havoc in Song. There is no ability to start a war in the northwest, not to mention that Song will be more prepared for us than for Xixia's alliance, so..."

"So, as long as Xixia is willing, Song will send money and food?" Miao Ying took over Jiang Chen's words.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

This is also closely related to the fact that Song attaches great importance to culture over military.

If it weren't for the fact that Song attaches great importance to culture over military, the current territory of Song might have doubled.

"Then should we do something?" Xiao Qing asked.

"After Xixia recovers its national strength, it will definitely make a comeback. This has greatly affected the stability of the northwest of the Central Continent, and it will also affect the development of our Jiang family in the northwest, so it is necessary to secretly sabotage Xixia's layout." Jiang Chen said.

"How do you want to destroy Xixia, my husband? Or just destroy Xixia?" Zhao Rongan asked.

"Xixia is a multi-ethnic regime with the Dangxiang people as the main body, including Han, Uighur, Tubo, Shatuo, Xianbei and Qiang. For us, it is not difficult to destroy Xixia. The Zhufeng Dynasty and Yangguo can destroy it by sending troops together, but it is not easy to control it after destroying it. It may take a lot of energy, so what I mean is to find a spokesperson in Xixia and use him to control Xixia." Jiang Chen does not think that the fewer countries in the Central Continent, the better. After all, the more countries there are, the more important the Jiang family will be.

"Choose a spokesperson?" Zhao Rongan hesitated and said, "It may not be easy to find a suitable spokesperson."

"No, the strong are respected in this world, and it is not difficult to find a spokesperson. We just need to do this..." Jiang Chen whispered.

Jiang Chen's method is also very simple, which is the method of Wang Ziteng of Xinghan Continent.

Wang Ziteng of Xinghan Continent is the spokesperson of Jiang Family in Xinghan Shenjing of Xinghan Continent. The same method can be used on Xixia.

"Husband, let me handle this matter." Buyinlou said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen did not refuse, because Buyinlou has the strength.

In other words, Buyinlou can destroy Xixia alone.

"Husband, now that Yuan Yuezheng and Du Siyu have become famous because of the defeat of Xixia, Zong Zheng Fengxun has started to make small moves." Zhao Rongan said.

"Zong Zheng Fengxun is unwilling to accept this." Jiang Chen understood.

The Yuan family where Yuan Yuezheng belongs originally had a high status in the Zhufeng Dynasty.

Du Siyu was originally the daughter of a general.

Now that the troops have been sent to defeat Xixia, how can Zong Zheng Fengxun and the civil and military officials of the court let two women take charge of the military power?

"I think we can let Zong Zheng Fengxun know what to provoke and what not to provoke." Zhao Rongan said.

"Well, you can handle this matter. In addition, take advantage of the fact that Huanyu Bank previously accepted the commercial tax mortgage of Zhufeng Dynasty to open up Huanyu Bank's business in Zhufeng Dynasty as soon as possible." Jiang Chen said.

"It's already been arranged." Xiao Qing said.

"This matter must be done quickly. The court of Zhufeng Dynasty and those aristocratic families will never see this scene." Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Xiao Qing has already felt the resistance, but Xiao Qing is no longer the Xiao Qing who has just arrived in the second world. He knows what it means to kill decisively.

...

Central Continent, Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, Liao Kingdom.

"Kill."

Countless Jurchens rushed to Liaoyang Prefecture.

On the wall of Liaoyang Prefecture, Han Derang commanded the Liao army to resist.

On a tall building in Liaoyang Prefecture, Jiang Chen, Xiao Huanian and others watched with telescopes.

"The Jurchens' offensive is fierce." Jiang Chen said.

"Now more than a month has passed, and the Liao army is about to give up." Xiao Huanian said.

"Who is attacking Liaoyang Prefecture?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's Jin Wushu." Xiao Huanian said.

"Jin Wushu?" Jiang Chen's heart moved, and he looked at the Jurchens' central army with a telescope, and he saw Jin Wushu as expected.

Jin Wushu is a character in "The Loyal Yue Fei".

In the play, he is the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty, with a Chinese name Zongbi, and the fourth son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda. In his early years, he followed Dutong Gao to pursue Emperor Tianzuo of Liao at Yuanyangluo, and followed Wanyan Zongwang to attack the Song Dynasty. After Wanyan Zongwang died, he became the deputy commander of Zongbi, and won victories wherever he went. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and Zongbi led his army to pursue him, defeating Guide, Jiangning and other places along the way, taking Yue, Hu and Hangzhou, and forcing Song Gaozong Zhao Gou to flee into the sea. When retreating north, he fought with Han Shizhong at Huangtian Dang, and defeated the Song army after a hard battle. Later, he followed Wanyan Zongbi to pacify Shaanxi. In the 15th year of Tianhui, he was the right deputy marshal and was granted the title of King Shen. In the second year of Tianjuan, he was promoted to the capital marshal. Jin set up an executive office in Yanjing, and made him the Taibao, leading the executive office Shangshu Province and the capital marshal as before, with the total military and civil power in one person. He discussed the attack in the south again, but was repeatedly defeated by Liu Qi and Yue Fei. In the third year of Tianjuan, he crossed the Huaihe River, forced the Song Dynasty to beg for peace, and formed the "Shaoxing Alliance". After returning to the court, he was appointed as the Grand Tutor and granted the Golden Certificate. Later, he led troops to attack Mongolia in the north. In the seventh year of Tianjuan, he was promoted to Grand Tutor, in charge of the three provinces, and the Grand Marshal. He was in charge of the Xingtai Shangshu Province as before. In the eighth year of Huangtong, Wanyan Zongbing died and was later given the posthumous title of Zhonglie. In the eighteenth year of Dading, Jin Shizong issued an edict that Wanyan Zongbing could be enshrined in the Taimiao of Jin Taizong.

Although Jin Wushu is a character in film and television dramas.

But he is also a capable person.

Jiang Chen remembers Jin Wushu in history clearly.

If the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed in history, Jin Wushu would be the iron hat king of the Qing Dynasty.

However, with the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu is a villain.

"Jin Wushu is outstanding in ability, and Han Derang is still a little worse than him." Xiao Hunian has read the history of the first world in the first world, and also knows Han Derang and Jin Wushu in the history of the first world. However, according to Jiang Chen, this is a person from a parallel world, so the people in the history of the first world can only be used as a reference. And there were no warriors in the history of the First World, so she never doubted it.

"What was the reaction of the Liao emperor?" Jiang Chen asked.

"According to the news from the Jinyiwei, the Liao emperor just asked Han Derang to persist." Xiao Hu Nian said.

"Persist? It seems that in the eyes of the Liao emperor, even if the Jurchens were defeated in Liaoyang Prefecture, they were not as important as the Song Dynasty." Jiang Chen said.

"It should be so."

Xiao Hu Nian said: "If I were the emperor of Liao, I would think so too. After all, defeating the Song Dynasty would not only stabilize the south, but also get money and food. With money and food, the Liao army can defeat the Jurchens with the power of victory. After all, although the Jurchens are in turmoil now, other ethnic groups in the northeast have not been at peace since the founding of the Liao Dynasty."

"That's true." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

If he was the emperor of Liao, he would do the same.

After all, the Liao Kingdom had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and it was not difficult to defeat the Song Dynasty.

After defeating the Song Dynasty and stabilizing the south, we can attack the Jurchens with all our strength.

"Sir, we are going to take action these days. Do you have any suggestions?" Xiao Hu Nian asked.

"No, just decide for yourselves." Jiang Chen didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Just then, a group of people ran by.

"Yelü Xizhen?" Jiang Chen recognized him.

Yelü Xizhen is a character in "Yanyuntai".

In "Yanyuntai", in addition to Han Derang, there is another person who is also the confidant of Empress Xiao's confidant, one of the two heroes of the Liao Dynasty, as famous as the "God of War" Yelü Xiu Ge, and once captured a fierce general of the Song Dynasty. She is Yelü Xizhen.

In the play, when Emperor Shengzong of Liao ascended the throne, Empress Xiao and Emperor Shengzong of Liao were orphans and widows, and their power was weak. Due to his special relationship with Empress Xiao, Han Derang naturally became the power that Empress Xiao relied on. However, in addition to Han Derang, there was another person who was also called to the palace by Empress Xiao. He was Yelü Xizhen, Empress Xiao's nephew-in-law.

In "Yanyuntai", Yelu Xizhen has saved the Liao army from danger many times. For example, when Yelu Sha was besieged by the enemy at Baimaling, Yelu Xizhen decisively ordered his men to fire thousands of arrows at once, scaring off the enemy. Later, the Liao generals Yelu Xidi and Xiao Taogu and others were defeated by the Song army. It was Yelu Xizhen who came again, luring the Song soldiers into the encirclement with Yelu Xidi's flag and defeating the Song soldiers. In the battle of Gaoliang River, Yelu Xizhen and Yelu Xiuge attacked from both sides, the Song army was defeated, and Song Taizong was almost captured alive.

"Do you know him, sir?" Xiao Hunian asked.

"I've heard of him. He's a talented young man. Maybe Han Derang can hold on for a while longer." Jiang Chen did not deny Yelu Xizhen's ability. Even though Yelu Xizhen is young now, he has talent. However, the Liao army is far behind the Jurchens. Even if Yelu Xizhen is at his peak now, it is difficult to reverse it.

"Sir, do you think highly of Yelu Xizhen?" Xiao Hunyan said.

"Well, we can let the Jinyiwei investigate." Jiang Chen said.

"Leave this to me." Yu Qingqing said.

"Well, just let the Jinyiwei investigate, and don't interfere with other things. It's almost time, and we should go back." Jiang Chen said.

Xiao Hu Nian and others had no objection.

...

Central Continent, Wanshou Mountain, Mu'an Country.

"How is the army of Yongqing Country now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Our army has surrounded them, but it may be difficult to completely wipe out the army of Yongqing Country." Xiao Yanyan said.

"Is it because of the lack of cavalry?" Jiang Chen asked.

There are tens of thousands of Jiang's troops in Mu'an Country, and they also control the imperial guards and the three major camps, but even after several months of reorganization, the combat effectiveness of Mu'an Country's imperial guards and the three major camps is not as good as that of Yongqing Country's iron cavalry.

"The lack of cavalry is one aspect. More importantly, those local governors don't want us to annihilate the army of Yongqing Country." Xiao Yanyan said.

"Do they want to let the tiger go back to the mountain and keep the thief for themselves?" Jiang Chen understood.

"Yes." Xiao Yanyan nodded.

"We spent a lot of money to prepare for Yongqing's southward march. If we let the army of Yongqing return to Yongqing, wouldn't our efforts be wasted? It seems that we must think of a way." Jiang Chen frowned.

"Sir, now in addition to mobilizing the Star Cavalry and Eagle Guards, we can only control those local governors, but those local governors are also the spokespersons of some forces. I don't know if controlling them is useful." Xiao Yanyan said.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "Your worry is reasonable, but there is actually another way..."
