After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

In the TV series, the smallpox plague left Dayu with corpses everywhere, severely damaged the country, and almost destroyed by Xihe State. However, my arrival changed the plot and the plague did not cause much waves. Does that mean that characters that were not in the TV series also appeared randomly? Because I remember that there was no character named Mingzhu in the TV series.

I looked at Mingzhu steadily and said, "You are so bold and straightforward. You are in the Hall of Supreme Harmony as if you were in an empty place. You can come and go freely even in the heavily guarded imperial study. You don't even know a palace maid. Tell me, who are you?"

Mingzhu pouted and said aggrievedly: "I already said my name is Mingzhu."

I tried hard to recall the content of the TV series, and suddenly I remembered that after the queen gave birth to the eldest princess and the prince, she had no children. The queen felt lonely, so she adopted a daughter and changed her name to Zheng Yan. Zheng Xian gave her the title of Mingzhu.

Could she be Princess Mingzhu?

Princess Mingzhu did not have many scenes and only appeared in one palace banquet. The shot also flashed by, and no one would pay attention to such a supporting role. All the attention was focused on the main characters Zhao Fangping and Zheng Yan.

I looked at Mingzhu in surprise and said, "You are actually Princess Mingzhu. Why are you dressing up as a maid and staying by my side?"

When Mingzhu saw that I recognized her, she immediately became happy and said, "I told you my name is Mingzhu, you just never forgot who I am. Why should I stay by your side? It's a long story. My mother got sick because of my father, and I was so angry that I wanted to come over to see what was going on. But when I arrived, I saw you coming in and out of the palace freely, and I heard them calling you the Second Young Master Zhao. I was curious and stayed."

I rolled my eyes and said unhappily, "My little ancestor, you can come if you want. This is your family's territory. No one dares to stop you from coming. But why do you have to pretend to be a palace maid to serve me? Isn't this shortening my life?"

Mingzhu chuckled twice and said, "This is fun. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so casual when you know I'm a princess. Besides, I'm just here to chat with you. I don't have to do any rough work, so I can't be considered serving you."

Mingzhu is so bold, jumping up and down in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and I have never seen her being punished. I should have thought that her identity must be extraordinary. What a fool I am.

I said speechlessly: "Thank you so much, how could I dare to ask a princess to serve me."

Mingzhu ignored my sarcasm and said excitedly, "I went to the Laurel Hall these few days. It's very interesting. Do you want to listen?"

I scratched my ears and said, "Go ahead, my princess, I'm all ears."

Mingzhu pushed me and said, "Don't call me Princess, just call me Mingzhu."

Mingzhu cleared her throat and said, "Didn't the emperor promote He Zhaoyi to the position of imperial concubine? When the imperial edict arrived at the Laurel Palace, the imperial concubine vomited blood and fainted before the eunuch finished reading it. Everyone in the Laurel Palace was in a panic, but that wasn't the most interesting thing. The most interesting thing was that the imperial concubine's niece Zhao Fangping sent someone to invite the imperial physician, but all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Office had left the palace. After working for a long time, they still couldn't invite a single imperial physician to treat the imperial concubine. Zhao Fangping had no choice but to send someone to find her grandfather, the imperial concubine's father, Imperial Tutor Gui. That's why Imperial Tutor Gui came to the palace to make a scene with the emperor. When the emperor found out, he thought Zhao Fangping was a nuisance, so he drove her out of the palace and forbade her to step into the palace without the emperor's permission. I never thought that Zhao Fangping, that little white flower, would have this day. I'm so happy."

"Zhao Fangping was sent back home?" I asked in disbelief.

Zhao Fangping has the aura of a heroine and has had a smooth life since childhood. In the future, she will move into the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess. Logically, she should not be disliked by Zheng Xian.

Mingzhu nodded happily and said, "Of course, he cried his eyes out the day he left. I saw it clearly."

You really are such a troublemaker! I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart.

I asked puzzledly: "Zhao Fangping was driven away, what are you happy about?"

Mingzhu snorted coldly and said, "This Zhao Fangping, relying on the fact that the Crown Prince likes her and my father dotes on her, is so arrogant that she can't even show courtesy to me. She even said arrogantly that I am just an adopted daughter of the royal family and my status will not be as high as hers in the future, so there is no need to show courtesy to me. Bah, what a thing, she is so arrogant before she even married into my royal family. I think I can't control her."

Zhao Fangping's favorite thing to do is to say one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. It's not surprising at all that she would say such things to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu was a silly girl who was easy-going and humble at all, so it was not surprising that she was secretly bullied by Zhao Fangping.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mingzhu continued, "In order to marry the crown prince, Zhao Fangping stayed here every day. She didn't even go back to serve her mother when she was sick and bedridden. What do you think the emperor likes about her? Why did he want the crown prince to marry such a woman as his crown princess?"

I rolled my eyes. I should ask such stupid questions to the TV screenwriters.

I asked, "How is Concubine Gui now?"

Mingzhu played with her hair and said, "What could possibly happen to her? If she eats ginseng and bird's nest every day, even a weak body can be healed. I think she is just pretending to be sick. She whines in the palace every day, clamoring to see the emperor. The emperor has no choice but to accompany her for several days."

No wonder Zheng Xian left in a hurry just now, it turned out that he was in a hurry to go to Gui Lanzhi.

Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. Gui Lanzhi's methods of dealing with men are indeed amazing. Zheng Xian is bewitched by her. It seems that Zhao Fangping will be able to enter the palace again soon.

I thought about it and asked, "You said your mother was ill, what's going on?"

Mingzhu sighed and said, "My father is angry. I don't know what's wrong with him. He sent all the women in the harem away without asking my mother. Isn't this a power grab? What's even more infuriating is that my father suddenly promoted Concubine He to Imperial Concubine, and even had Imperial Concubine He move to the Hall of Supreme Harmony without consulting my mother. Isn't this a slap in my mother's face? My mother and my father have been married for so many years, and my father has never summoned her to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to stay overnight. My mother is just angry and sick."

I thought to myself, what's so good about living in the Hall of Supreme Harmony? There are guards everywhere, and countless secret guards spying on your every move. It's just like being in prison.

Mingzhu didn't need me to reply at all. She just kept talking to herself until the end of time. She continued, "But I don't think Concubine He is a cunning person. I just don't know how she got lucky to catch the eye of the emperor and rise to heaven."
