Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, several months have passed. The fact that Prince Guo colluded with Mogh Khan and the Zhen family was executed along with all their clans has been gradually forgotten and is no longer mentioned.

Yinzhen lived in the Yangxin Palace for a long time and did not come to the harem, but Ye Bingshang was not affected at all. As long as she wanted, she could enter and leave the Yangxin Palace at any time.

This undoubtedly dashed the Queen's expectations, but she also did not have the energy to continue entangled with Ye Bingshang in the matter of competing for favor in the harem, because as the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince returned to the palace to study one after another, the previous dynasty began to submit memorials to discuss the succession.

If we put aside the issue of academic study, the Third Prince is undoubtedly the most suitable one. But this cannot be put aside. When it becomes clear that the Third Prince's academic performance is not even as good as that of the Fifth Prince, who has been weak and sickly since birth, Zhang Tingyu, who has always supported the Third Prince, begins to waver.

Zhang Tingyu: This is too outrageous.

But if he didn't support the Third Prince, who else could he support? The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince had been raised in the Old Summer Palace since childhood, and it was obvious that they were not favored by Yinzhen. The Fifth Prince was also frail and sickly, and the Sixth Prince of Concubine Lan was still too young.

The Fifth Prince obviously did not expect that the Third Prince, who had been raised by Empress Yinzhen since childhood, would be so outrageous. He had deliberately made mistakes in many questions in order not to cause trouble for himself and his mother. He could not bear the pain of studying and became even sicker.

The Fifth Prince lay on the bed with his teeth bared, holding his stomach and yelling, "Ouch, mother, my stomach hurts. I can't go to school today. No, I can't go to school from now on."

"You, you are so disappointing." Although Concubine Yu acted anxious, she was actually methodical and unhurried in her actions.

Concubine Yu sighed exaggeratedly, "Alas, I am sorry for you. You are born inferior to others. I accept my fate in this life and hope that you can be well."

As she spoke, she began to sob. Because she did not hide from people at all, the affairs and conversation between the mother and son were heard by the Queen and Yinzhen.

Yinzhen did not comment. He had never placed his hopes on this sick son. He ordered the Imperial Hospital to use the best medicine to treat his illness, and gave Concubine Yu a few rare tributes as a consolation. That was the end of the matter.

Ever since the fifth prince Hong Zhou completely withdrew from the list of candidates for the crown prince.

The intelligent, motivated and sociable Fourth Prince successfully stood out and gradually formed a force supporting him, which was in opposition to the force supporting the Third Prince and neither side would give in.

The two forces were fighting openly and secretly in the previous dynasty, and it was in full swing. Ye Bingshang acted completely unaware of it and continued to go to Shoukang Palace more frequently.

It was snowing outside, and the surface of the pond in the imperial garden was covered with thin layers of ice. If you picked up a stone and threw it, you would be able to create a crack on the surface of the lake.

Ye Bingshang was sitting by the window, with silver charcoal burning in the charcoal basin beside her. She was concentrating on drawing something with a pen, and Yinzhen, who was sitting opposite her, was also reading a book in his hand.

"I still think our children are the best." This was a test, but it was also what Yinzhen truly thought.

He had never considered the Fourth Prince. The Third Prince, whom he wanted to cultivate, just followed Concubine Qi's thinking and did not learn any of her methods and schemes. He was not fit to be the crown prince.

Ye Bingshang remained calm and said in a gentle voice: "I also think my child is good. I think all mothers in the world think so."

Yinzhen relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Cunning, you know what I am talking about..."

"Your Majesty." Ye Bingshang interrupted him softly, leaning back slightly, a little further away from Yinzhen, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and there will be more princes and princesses in the future."

Flattery never wears out, and even a suspicious and narrow-minded person like Yinzhen is no exception. What's more, what Ye Bingshang said was about the things that were repeatedly questioned by the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and the ministers.

So he laughed and said, "When will Mei'er give birth to another prince for me?"

……

Under the false illusion of equal strength deliberately created by Yinzhen, the Fourth Prince's ambition began to expand rapidly. He began to frequently find various reasons to go to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with Yinzhen, and asked about his well-being under the guise of filial piety.

The Fourth Prince was still not satisfied and felt that he still needed an adoptive mother who could help him.

On the one hand, he pretended to be pitiful in front of Qingying and asked Qingying to help him speak well of her in front of the Queen. On the other hand, he secretly met and talked with Concubine Mi of the Fucha clan and Concubine Qi of the Guwaljia clan, who were undoubtedly concubines of the Manchu military flag and childless.

It’s a pity that he overestimated the IQ of Qingying and Concubine Miqi.

Of course, this wouldn't work with Concubine Mi and Noble Lady Qi. For two days, they simply didn't understand his hint that he wanted to find his adoptive mother to fight for the throne together with him. Instead, they made no secret of their disdain for him.

Concubine Mi: The emperor doesn't like the background of the Fourth Prince. If I get close to him, he will be unhappy. No, I have to stay away from him.

Lady Qi: Are you kidding me? Why would a bastard who is only a few years younger than her younger sister get so close to her? Is he coveting my beauty? Bah! What the hell!

(Noble Lady Qi is three years younger than Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan is seven years older than Hongli, so Noble Lady Qi is only four years older than Hongli.)

Hongli, who was successively despised by Concubine Mi and Noble Lady Qi, could only vent his anger by cleaning the table in the study. They all looked down on him. Just wait, when he ascends the dragon throne, he will make all those who looked down on him pay.

Therefore, Hongli took a liking to Qingying and hoped that she could help him persuade the Queen to support him. After all, neither he nor the Third Prince were the Queen's biological children, so what difference did it make.

Queen: There is still a big difference.

Qingying relied on the power of her two aunts and was brought up in great pampering. She was not good at saying nice things to others. Instead, the Queen discovered that she was having contact with the Fourth Prince, which made the Queen even more disgusted and disliked the Fourth Prince.

The Queen said bluntly: "A prince whose bloodline is questionable, a scoundrel that the Emperor regards as a disgrace, you should be clear-headed and don't be fooled by his words!"

"Aunt." Qingying pouted, her chicken claw-like hands rubbing the handkerchief dishonestly, "Hong, well, the Fourth Prince doesn't seem like that kind of person. My niece and he aren't very familiar with each other, but I find it pitiful that he doesn't have a biological mother."

The queen slapped the handle of the chair twice with her armored hands and angrily said to Qingying, "No matter how lowly he is, it is not your turn to pity him!"

"If you have time to pity him, why not pity yourself, your family that is in danger, and your father who has accomplished nothing at his age!"

The Queen was going crazy, the Empress Dowager felt that Chunyuan, who had taken everything from her, died pitifully, Yinzhen felt that Ye Bingshang, who had the upper hand everywhere, was pitiful, and even her niece, who she had high hopes for, felt that the Crown Prince was pitiful.

Why doesn't anyone pity her? She has lost her son and favor, and her family is only a treasure. How difficult it is for her to keep her position as queen?
