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

The Fourteenth Elder also looked worried: "Empress Dowager, please ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

"No need!" The Queen Mother nervously tried to stop him. Then, fearing that she would arouse the suspicion of the Fourteenth Prince, she casually explained, "The Queen fell ill for a while right after your brother ascended the throne. If I fall ill again, people will talk about me."

"This matter is not as important as the Empress Mother's health." The Fourteenth Prince said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm fine. It's just my old illness. I know what's going on." The Queen Mother looked at Old Fourteen lovingly. "By the way, who did you just say you were going to beat?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, revealing her thoughts.

Fortunately, Wang Ruofu and Old Fourteen were both more relaxed than the other in this regard. Old Fourteen said casually, "Oh, it's Longkodo. He has been too arrogant recently."

"Oh, Fourth Brother has become tough now. I thought he would continue to endure it. It's different after all being the emperor."

"Yeah, I'm really worried that he might get sick."

As they spoke, the queen mother's face became increasingly pale, as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away. "I am old, so you should go back first and come back another day."

"Then, Empress Dowager, you should have a good rest. If you are not feeling well, you must ask the imperial physician to come and don't hide it from me."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, watching the two leave.

"Empress Dowager..." Zhu Xi said carefully, "Should we send him a message about Lord Longkodo and ask him to be careful?"

"No need."

The Queen Mother refused firmly, her face gloomy: "It's also because he doesn't know how to restrain himself. He should learn a lesson from being beaten, so as to avoid losing his life in the future."

After all, between Old Fourteen and Longkodo, she definitely sides with Old Fourteen.

.........

The imperial edict for the selection of concubines was announced to the world early in the morning, and all eligible ladies from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Han were required to arrive in the capital on time.

Since she was in the mansion, Concubine Hua has been deeply suppressed by Wang Ruofu, and her power as housekeeper has never been touched, so this time the ceremony was even more grand than in the previous life, and every detail was taken care of.

All the beauties who passed the re-examination would be picked up by special carriages as soon as they arrived in the capital, so beauties like An Lingrong, who came from a remote place and did not have much money, would not be late.

Borjigit from the Mongolian flag was recommended, while Fucha from the Manchu flag was chosen as usual.

Among all the ladies in the Manchu army flag, Wang Ruofu picked out Guaerjia Wenyuan at first sight. She was good, she was both beautiful and stupid!

Why does a daughter-in-law need to be so smart? The daughter-in-law in her previous life was too smart and too cunning, and she was not on the same page with her at all.

Not only did she lose all dignity as a mother-in-law, but she was also like her heartless son, with her heart completely set on Shou'an Hall.

Anyway, she has Honghui in this life. She raised him by herself. He is smart and filial. It doesn't matter if her daughter-in-law is a little stupid.

This matter also received unanimous approval from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and it was enough for the Crown Princess to have a good family background. If she was too smart, it would be a bad thing.

Hongshi's first wife was married to Dong E's daughter, and Concubine Qi was very satisfied.

She felt that her original decision was a wise one. She decisively gave up the Empress Dowager who was still Defei, and worked hard to cling to the Queen's thigh, which led to her good life today.

I already have sons and daughters, and maybe I’ll even have grandchildren next year.

.........

When they arrived at the Han Army Flag Hall, An Lingrong still had a conflict with Xia Dongchun, but before Xia Dongchun could even say a few words, an aunt from the palace came out to rescue her.

"The palace is a sacred place, so there should be no noise. You two should quickly follow me to change your clothes. Don't delay the palace selection. That would be a serious crime of disrespecting the emperor and empress."

An Lingrong was timid to begin with, and Xia Dongchun was a paper tiger who was afraid of the weak and the strong, so the two of them were stunned by the intimidation.

They all shut their mouths and followed him to change clothes obediently.

Zhen Huan, who was chatting with Shen Meiyu nearby, did not have the chance to approach and make friends with An Lingrong, but she did not take it to heart.

Although An Lingrong has the gentleness and gracefulness of a Jiangnan woman, her family background and appearance are just so-so, and she is not as good as her and Sister Mei. It would be a pity to treat her like a useless person and abandon her.

An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun only found out when they arrived that the concubines whose names were called needed to be served by palace maids first and change into exactly the same clothes and hairstyle before they could go to the palace for selection.

It doesn't matter what material they originally wore or what jewelry they wore.

An Lingrong's heart moved, and she vaguely realized something.

In the hall, the emperor sat in the middle, while Wang Ruofu and the empress dowager sat on one side, very close to each other.

The Queen Mother patiently whispered again and again: "This selection is to select a princess for Honghui, and secondly, to select a newcomer to share the favor of Concubine Hua. The Forbidden City is not like the Prince's Mansion, and the Queen is not the Prince's wife."

"If you have a reputation as a jealous and fierce woman, Honghui's position will also be unstable, and Huayang and Ruling's married life, as well as Hongyao's future title, will be affected."

"I think the two flags of the Manchu army and the Mongolian army are useless. Now we can only place our hopes on the Han army flag."

"I know, I really know. You've been talking about it all day." Wang Ruofu used her armor to pick her ears, very impatient.

The emperor first tentatively chose Xia Dongchun, and only when he saw that Wang Ruofu really had no reaction did he breathe a sigh of relief. He had finally made it.

But An felt awkward and secretly dissatisfied. At the beginning, he was watching Rou very closely. If he looked at Rou for one more moment, he would be caught and scolded.

Now that she has a son and a daughter-in-law, she doesn't even bother to look at him anymore. What on earth is he to her? A tool to give birth to a son and become the queen?

With this dissatisfied mood, the emperor glanced at An Lingrong.

Among a row of beauties dressed exactly the same, An Lingrong had a petite and slender figure, like a willow swaying in the wind, and was more lovable than Yun Ruofang.

He spoke with a pleasant voice and bowed and knelt respectfully, revealing a cautious timidity.

The emperor threw the Jade Eighteenth Son in his hand and said, "Let's choose her."

An Lingrong was overjoyed: "Your servant An Lingrong thanks the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen."

The Empress Dowager saw why the Emperor chose An Lingrong, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She couldn't control the Empress, couldn't suppress Nian Gengyao, and had to make her own Fourteenth Prince suffer by beating the ministers and Longkodo.

It's really useless.

On the other side, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked unhappy.

Shen Meizhuang suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "May I ask why we need to change clothes, aunt? But what's wrong with my and Huan'er's clothes?"

"There is nothing wrong with the two girls' clothes." Auntie said sternly, not willing to offend or give in, "But this is the palace rule."

"Since it is a royal selection, there is no distinction between high and low among the concubines. No matter if you were born in the upper three banners or she was born in the lower five banners, they are all the same. It all depends on the masters' preference."
