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

The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed. This cousin whom she once pitied was now completely useless.

Even the original hope that Rouze could rely on the little affection in their youth to check and balance the favored concubine like Nian Shilan who had an outstanding family background was also dashed. Fortunately, Yixiu and Honghui were able to do well.

Thanks to the relationship between Yixiu and the Fourteenth Prince, the Emperor did not dare to go too far. The Fourteenth Prince was able to stay in the capital and continue to serve as his great general, and the mother and son could often see each other.

"Everyone, please take a seat." The Queen Mother skillfully put on a kind and benevolent smile and reached out to hold Wang Ruofu's hand. "Come, Queen, sit next to me."

She deliberately showed her affection for Wang Ruofu in front of all the concubines: "The Queen has been managing the harem these days. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Wang Ruofu was wondering if this old hag wanted to divide her power in the palace.

He said unceremoniously, "Don't bother your Majesty, I have been in charge of the Prince's Mansion for so many years, and now I am managing the harem in the same way."

The Queen Mother was choked by this and secretly cursed him as an idiot, "Can't you see that I'm helping you establish your prestige in front of the concubines?"

Fortunately, she was very experienced in Taoism and recovered quickly, so she didn't show weakness in front of so many people.

No more beating around the bush with Wang Ruofu, who wouldn't understand anyway, so she told him the real purpose of today: "The emperor observes mourning for months instead of days, I have discussed with the emperor and will hold a beauty pageant in half a year."

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines who had looked comfortable and happy immediately became uneasy, especially those who had not yet given birth to children.

They were not favored to begin with, and now there will be new ones. Wouldn't they be unknown in the Forbidden City in the future? They will have to be widows at a young age and wait to die of old age in the cold palace.

Nian Shilan, who was sitting in a daze at the bottom, was also triggered by the keyword. She instantly perked up and looked intently at the Queen Mother and Wang Ruofu.

Nian Shilan knew that the emperor valued filial piety and did not dare to be too presumptuous with the empress dowager. Although she was dissatisfied, she still said respectfully: "I wonder why the empress dowager and the emperor are so anxious to organize the selection?"

With Nian Shilan taking the lead, Xin Changzai also said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the emperor has many children and has just ascended the throne, why are you in such a hurry?"

If Wang Ruofu had not appeared first, Xin Changzai's nagging nature would have been fresh and interesting among the gentle concubines, but when she arrived, the emperor had already had enough of Wang Ruofu and had suffered psychological trauma from her nagging.

As a result, Xin Chang was not favored much in this life and had no children, so she naturally did not want any new people to enter the palace so soon.

Wang Ruofu was very unhappy when she heard about the talent show. Even though she was old enough to no longer care whether her husband's heart was bewitched by some vixen, having too many concubines would mean a lot of expenses.

Those are all Honghui’s future assets!

"For the emperor, there is really no rush."

The Queen Mother saw everyone's reactions, but this time she was confident and not at all afraid of Wang Ruofu's anger as before.

She patted Wang Ruofu's hand soothingly and said, "But the Crown Prince is already 20 years old, and the Third Prince is also 16 years old. It's time to put the marriage of the two brothers on the agenda."

"The original intention of this selection was to find a marriage partner for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and selecting a concubine for the Emperor was just a side job."

Sure enough, Wang Ruofu's attention was successfully diverted and she was in high spirits.

For five years, a full five years, she had been worrying about Honghui's marriage and engaging in a battle of wits and courage with Kangxi.

She didn't like the one Kangxi liked, and Kangxi was not satisfied with the one she chose, which led to Honghui's marriage being delayed again and again, and it was not finalized until Kangxi passed away.

Now, she can finally call the shots.

"I'm sorry to have caused you, Madam Empress, so much worry. This time I will make sure to choose a good match for Honghui and Hongshi."

Wang Ruofu happily agreed, and she and the empress dowager got along well with each other, which disappointed the other concubines.

.........

"What did you say?!"

"Don't you dare say that again!"

A tug-of-war between the emperor and the empress is taking place in Kunning Palace, also known as the 'you chase, I chase' game.

Snapped!

Wang Ruofu picked up an abacus made of mahogany and white jade and threw it towards the emperor. The emperor barely dodged it. The abacus hit the ground and the jade shattered and rolled all over the floor.

Wang Ruofu put one hand on her waist and pointed at the emperor with the other hand, her eyes wide open as if she was looking at a heartless man, or like a wolf staring at its prey that was trying to escape: "You actually want me to give half of the power in the palace to Nian Shilan."

"Your royal family is really like a dragon in the sky, and the common people are like mud under their feet. I don't want to be the queen anymore. I will wash my hands and become your concubine!"

"Queen, what are you talking about, ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked on the butt.

That dog slave Su Peisheng was still guarding outside, pretending not to hear anything and refusing to come in, leaving him isolated and helpless.

In the end, the emperor, who was as noble as he was, could not bear the humiliation, and hid miserably in the corner where the screen and the wall met, holding on to a corner of the screen and struggling to support himself.

The emperor hesitated and finally lost all shame and told the real reason: "I don't want to, but the treasury is empty, and I need the money from the Nian family to organize the selection."

That is to say, he needs Nian Shilan's money, and if he wants Nian Shilan to pay for the selection, he needs to share her palace power.

"What a joke! The late emperor had no shortage of money when he was alive, but the treasury was empty as soon as you ascended the throne. You are fooling a fool." Wang Ruofu pulled out a stick from somewhere and knocked on the screen. "Come out and die on your own, don't force me to do it."

How could the emperor dare to do that? He would be beaten as soon as he went out.

"I'll count to three. If you still don't come out, I'll order Qi Rong to catch a poisonous snake and throw it in. One!"

Emperor: Vicious!

"two!"

Feeling that Wang Ruofu was about to move the screen, the emperor glanced around, and after confirming that there was no third person in Kunning Palace, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

With a "thump" sound——

"What are you doing..." Wang Ruofu stopped moving forward and stood there, looking down at the emperor in confusion.

The emperor knelt steadily and admitted his fault in a good manner: "Empress, I am wrong."

"But the national treasury really can't take out the money. I have just ascended the throne. I can neither make big moves nor ignore the face of the royal family. I can only..."

As he said this, he couldn't help crying. He felt wronged. He didn't want to hold a talent show to pay for the concubine's dowry.

Wang Ruofu's eyelids twitched, and after a moment of silence, she said helplessly, "Get up."

Sitting back on the Phoenix throne: "What are you going to do?"

This is what is meant by negotiable.

The emperor let out a long breath and thought to himself, it was a close call, he almost didn't survive the day.

Zhu said seriously, "I have already thought about all the details. You just need to say that you have caught a cold and you are too busy to take care of Honghui and Hongshi's wedding. I will order Hua Fei to assist in the management of the six palaces and let her handle the selection of concubines."

Wang Ruofu rubbed his temple and questioned, "Will this work?"
