Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress
Chapter 103 Ye Bingshang13
Ye Bingshang hurried forward to personally help An Lingrong up, and said gently: "It's been a long time since we last met, are you going to be estranged from me, sister? In private, just call me Sister Mei as usual."
An Lingrong looked at the hand that held her up with some surprise, and vaguely felt that Ye Bingshang seemed different from before. She quickly came to her senses and called her "Sister Mei" sweetly.
Ye Bingshang had just cried bitterly with Zhen Huan, and her makeup was smudged. She washed her face again. At this moment, Ye Bingshang looked just a little thin and weak, not as seriously ill as when she paid her respects.
An Lingrong was looking at her, and she was also observing An Lingrong, with mixed feelings.
Shen Meizhuang's memory focuses on Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu, followed by the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua. The rest of the people were only mentioned briefly by Miss Shen, and were very vague, with almost no details remembered.
For example, An Lingrong and the Queen, Shen Meizhuang only knew that they were very cunning and had ulterior motives, and could not be of any help to Ye Bingshang at all.
Fortunately, Shen Meizhuang always knew An Lingrong's family background and some of her growth experiences. Although An Lingrong was a legitimate daughter, her father's official position was too low, and he was partial to his aunt and illegitimate brothers and sisters. As a result, she grew up under oppression just like her.
Since they had similar growth experiences, Ye Bingshang could understand An Lingrong's psychology and desires to a certain extent.
An Lingrong came here this time simply because she was worried about her own future. Originally, Shen Meiyu was pregnant, and she was brought from the palace to promote her to win favor. This was something that all three of them in the small group knew tacitly.
After the fake pregnancy incident, Ye Bingshang was imprisoned, and Zhen Huan was alone and could not handle it. She should have been more eager to push her up. But for some reason, she was delayed, so that now that Ye Bingshang has been restored to favor and promoted to a higher position, An Lingrong still has not succeeded in sleeping with her.
It's normal for An Lingrong to be anxious. Ye Bingshang is not pregnant, and with Zhen Huan working together, there's no need to push another person to share the favor.
Ye Bingshang and Zhen Huan really didn't want to recommend An Lingrong at this time, but they didn't want to say it out loud. After the person was accepted, the two looked at each other and started to paint a rosy picture for An Lingrong.
Anyway, if it was someone else, they would just paint a rosy picture for her. The Queen and Concubine Hua were both used to getting something for nothing. At least they could still protect and support An Lingrong with good food and drink. This was Zhen Huan's idea.
As for Ye Bingshang, she had no psychological burden. She was lucky enough to be reborn and had a pretty good hand. She had no interest in doing good deeds like she did in her previous life.
Good people don't get rewarded. They call their mother when they pick up the bowl and curse their mother when they put the bowl down. This is human nature, being ungrateful.
After An Lingrong left, Ye Bingshang wanted to comfort Zhen Huan about Concubine Hua's theory of flowers and plants, but was stopped by Zhen Huan, "Sister, you don't need to say more. I understand. Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo just want to alienate us. How could I fall into their trap?"
You won't be the best.
Ye Bingshang is full of distrust towards those people who value love more than their lives and property, even though they seem to be particularly favored by God.
For some reason, Ye Bingshang instinctively felt a certain aversion to Zhen Huan, as if there was a kind of "kindness" and superiority in Zhen Huan and later Ye Xiwu that was hard to explain but really existed.
It disgusted her.
Zhen Huan acted coquettishly with her, plucked the purple magnolia from Ye Bingshang's hair and played with it in her hands. A strange emotion flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and she smiled gently.
"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated my sister on her promotion to the position of imperial concubine yet. Lanhua means noble character, aloof and aloof. I think it's better than the original Hui."
"What's the difference between Concubine Lan and Noble Lady Hui? Does changing into gorgeous clothes make one noble?" Ye Bingshang had a cold expression, without showing any joy about the promotion, but she was laughing in her heart.
How can orchids, which are objects for people to appreciate, be compared with Hui? Even Concubine Hua noticed such a simple truth. I wonder if Zhen Huan said this to make up for her own name "Wan".
Moreover, if Zhen Huan really didn't mind, why didn't she pretend to be like An Lingrong and call her Lady Lanpin and herself a concubine?
That's all, it's just acting. The more Zhen Huan acts like this, the more chances she has to replace her as the number one favorite concubine.
When Zhen Huan saw that Ye Bingshang looked calm, her heart, which had just been silently moved by An Lingrong, finally calmed down. She thought that with Sister Mei's strong character, she must be extremely disappointed with Si Lang after this incident.
Now that she didn't treat Silang coldly and avoided him as much as possible, it was already a rare concession, and she had to do it for the sake of her family. How could she have a romantic relationship with Silang? She must be overthinking.
Zhen Huan said nonchalantly, "Sister said before that she would bring Lingrong over, but I saw that sister just now seemed unwilling to recommend Lingrong again?"
Ye Bingshang resisted the urge to frown, and was glad that she had imitated Shen Meizhuang's behavior and showed that she had given up on Yinzhen, and she took the opportunity to find an excuse.
"I was inconsiderate before. The emperor doesn't allow you and me to influence who he favors. The emperor only comes to the harem a few times a month. One more day for us means one less day for others. This is enough to make people hate us."
"If I recommend Lingrong to be favored, wouldn't it be that I am doing more than the Queen, the legal wife? What will the other concubines think? I just don't know...will Lingrong blame me for this."
It is generous and responsible for a wife to take a concubine for her husband, but it is forming cliques for concubines to help other concubines. I don’t know what Shen Meizhuang is thinking.
Ye Bingshang's eyes, as gentle as autumn water, were filled with worry.
Zhen Huan frowned slightly when she heard the word "first wife", but soon she was relieved and said confidently: "Sister, your consideration makes sense. Lingrong will definitely understand. If the emperor is interested, he will think of Lingrong. If the emperor is not interested, even if we act on our own, we will have missed her in vain."
"hope so."
Ye Bingshang saw that Zhen Huan's eyes clearly showed a hint of guilt, but she still found a reason to convince herself that she was thinking of others. It was obvious that she didn't want to have another person competing for her favor, so she didn't say much.
There are undercurrents in the palace, and disputes and quarrels are endless, but bystanders can still remain calm and pretend to be completely unaware. They rely on seeing through things but not saying anything.
……
Life had been relatively peaceful recently, and Ye Bingshang had resumed her daily greetings, but she still claimed to be ill and unable to sleep with the emperor. Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan, the two people who knew about the situation, strangely did not expose her or ask any further questions.
Because Shen Meizhuang was still under house arrest at this time in her previous life and was completely unaware of the situation in the palace, Ye Bingshang went to Jingpin's palace more often, and was able to learn a lot about the situation in the palace through playing chess and talking.
"Although my sister is not yet able to sleep with the emperor, the emperor's rewards are sent to me every now and then, which shows that the emperor is thinking about my sister." Jingpin said jokingly.
Ye Bingshang raised the corners of her lips slightly, smiling lightly without a trace of pride, "Sister, you are making fun of me. My body is not good enough, and Concubine Hua and Huan'er are still the most favored."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Jingpin changed the subject, "Tonight is the Qixi Festival. The emperor has invited all the princes and concubines in the palace to Changchun Garden to enjoy the moon together. Sister, you must dress up well."
Sensing the testing implication in Jingpin's last sentence, Ye Bingshang said calmly, "The Emperor has to accompany the Empress on the Qixi Festival, so why should I steal the show and bother the Empress and Concubine Hua?"
"My sister's chess skills are getting better and better." Jingpin said with a double meaning.
This kind of palace banquet was boring and restrained, and probably no one present was happy except Yinzhen.
The Queen wore a bright yellow dress to show off her status as Queen, but Concubine Hua chose to show off by wearing a Shu brocade dress that was very close to bright red, and she also wore the small Dongzhu earrings given by Yinzhen.
Tensions.
Favored people like Ye Bingshang and Zhen Huan are essentially just chess pieces on the table. Whether they are promoted or suppressed depends on the outcome of the secret competition between the Queen and Concubine Hua, while Yinzhen fanns the flames and balances the forces.
Yinzhen, who was talking to Zhen Huan, noticed that Ye Bingshang looked listless and had only taken a few bites of her meal. He couldn't help but express his concern.
"Mei'er is not feeling well, or the food is not to her liking. Ask the imperial kitchen to serve Lanpin some light meals, no white porridge, and a jujube and yam cake, which is your favorite."
Zhen Huan's smile froze. She didn't know whether to drink from the wine glass or put it down. There was some embarrassment and grievance in her eyes when she looked at Yinzhen, but Yinzhen didn't look at her at this time.
Ye Bingshang: “…” When did Yinzhen notice her dislike for white porridge? He is much smarter than the emperor from her original place.

Ye Bingshang: Am I also a part of your relationship?
