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

Although the emperor punished Zhen Huan, she did not completely fall out of favor.

Because of the punishment of not being able to be promoted unless she becomes pregnant and gives birth, Zhen Huan's situation in the harem is very bad, and even the servants can step on her at will.

So she could only put more effort into pleasing the emperor, but the emperor valued his own life and was always indifferent to Zhen Huan.

As the weather was getting hotter, the emperor decided to take his harem to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat.

All those above the rank of concubine went, and among those below the rank of concubine only An Lingrong, Xia Dongchun, and Zhen Huan went together.

Wang Ruofu took a look and nodded with satisfaction. An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun had presented many gifts to Kunning Palace, especially Xia Dongchun, who was worthy of being from a bondservant family. The amount of gold, silver and jewelry was staggering.

As the saying goes, if they are not on the list, Wang Ruofu will also add them.

Then she saw Zhen Huan's name but didn't ask any more questions. She was tired of saying "a dog can't eat shit", so she just let him be.

Instead, he asked, "Noble Lady Fucha and Concubine Shen are not going?"

Both of them have good family backgrounds.

"If they don't go, I'll get a headache when I see them." The emperor said bluntly.

There was no need to raise someone to check and balance Nian Gengyao. The emperor was exceptionally smart and soon discovered that Shen Meizhuang was stupid and foolish despite being well-read.

She had clearly stated during the palace selection that she had only read Rules for Women and Admonitions for Women, but not long after entering the palace she started spouting poetry one after another, and she looked so smug about it.

What? You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I should still praise you?

Misanthropy has occurred.

Her stupidity doesn't end there. It is also reflected in the fact that Shen Meizhuang, an unfavored concubine, can actually make the relationship with the six concubines in the palace so strained.

Except for Concubine Cao and Concubine Jing, who never offended anyone openly, the other concubines obviously disliked Shen Meizhuang. He had heard Concubine Hua express her dissatisfaction with Shen Meizhuang more than once.

The emperor was not interested in getting into trouble with the entire harem for the sake of Shen Meizhuang, so Shen Meizhuang, like Noble Lady Fucha, was left out in the cold.

After the list of people going to the Old Summer Palace was announced, Shen Meizhuang, who knew she couldn't go, didn't believe it at all. She murmured in despair, "Impossible, impossible, how could this be?"

"Caiyue, go and find out who else went with them, apart from those above the rank of concubine?"

Cai Yue hesitated to speak, but under Shen Meizhuang's repeated urging, she finally answered: "There are Concubine An and Concubine Xia, and, there is also the girl from the Wanguan official."

Bang.

Shen Meizhuang fell onto the couch as if struck by lightning.

"It's fine if Huan'er goes, she has always been outstanding in talent and appearance, but how am I worse than Noble An and Lady Xia?"

In terms of family background, she is better; in terms of appearance, she is not inferior.

In terms of temperament, she is much better than the petty-minded An Lingrong and the arrogant Xia Dongchun, not to mention that these two people are illiterate and are just the kind of people who use their beauty to please men.

But now they are all more favored than her, which makes the proud Shen Meizhuang unacceptable.

Caiyue was afraid that her young mistress would give up on herself, so she suggested, "Young mistress, how about we go and ask Concubine Cao for help?"

"What's the point of begging her? Concubine Cao has long fallen out of favor. If she didn't have a daughter, she wouldn't have been able to become a concubine."

When Shen Meizhuang said this, she did not ask everyone to leave. In addition to Caiyue and Caixing, there were other people present. They all looked at her secretly as if she were a fool.

The look in each other's eyes shows that the future is hopeless.

"With such a good family background and appearance, her brain is filled with water. She has been out of favor for so long and yet she dares to look down on Concubine Cao. At least she was favored once."

"I'm so disappointed. I spent a lot of money to come here. I should have stayed in the Yanxi Palace. Lady An and Lady Xia were so favored."

Shen Meizhuang didn't know that even the servants in her palace despised her for being stupid, so she acted like a wise woman and said, "Yes, child."

"If I had a child, life in the palace wouldn't be so hard."

Shen Meizhuang excitedly planned to go to the imperial physician to buy the secret recipe for having a child. She was confident that as long as she was willing to spend money and use threats and inducements, she would be able to get the secret recipe that neither Concubine Cao nor Concubine Yun had.

She didn't consider at all that the issue now was not whether she had children or not, but that the emperor didn't favor her at all.

Looking at Shen Meizhuang's energetic figure, the servants in the hall all looked desperate.

Although the palace fighting this time is not very good, it is still rare to see someone so eager to throw away his head. It seems that he is afraid that others cannot harm him!

.........

In the Old Summer Palace, Wang Ruofu undoubtedly chose the most spacious Qingfeng Jiyue Palace to live in, while Zhen Huan lived in Fanying Pavilion.

The emperor originally planned to let Zhen Huan live in Bitong Academy, but when he told Wang Ruofu about this, Wang Ruofu hit him hard on the chest.

"You are bullying a fool." Wang Ruofu took a sip of tea and cursed, "I thought I didn't know the allusion that the phoenix will only live in the Wutong tree, but you actually want to let a concubine live in the Bitong Academy. What do you want to do?"

The emperor covered his chest which was hurt by the beating and said timidly: "You may not believe it, but I really didn't mean it that way."

"Queen, you have to believe me. For your sake, I have even ordered that she must be pregnant before she can be promoted."

Eyes burning.

Wang Ruofu was unmoved and raised her eyebrows, saying, "If you hadn't issued this decree, I could have helped you become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

The Emperor: "...Don't make such jokes in the future."

The residences of other concubines remain unchanged.

There were quite a few people paying their respects. Except for Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan, all the other concubines who came with them all vied to be Wang Ruofu's lackeys.

The two shameless Concubine Qi and Xia Dongchun were the most enthusiastic. They used direct and popular words, and praised Wang Ruofu one sentence after another, making her smile from ear to ear. Concubine Cao, Concubine Yun and others were far behind.

Wang Ruofu: Keep praising me. I love to hear it.

In the end, Xia Dongchun won magnificently with a large box of Western jewelry.

Xia Dongchun flattered, "Empress, this was sent to me by my brother. I thought Princess Ruling is at the age where she likes to dress up, so she will definitely like it."

When the box was opened, it was sparkling with gold, and inside it was an exquisitely crafted music box, which was very interesting.

Concubine Hua curled her lips and thought to herself that she would write a letter to Nian Gengyao when she got home and ask him to get ten or eight of them so that her son could throw them around for fun, acting as if he didn't have a brother.

"Ran Dong, go tell the emperor that Jin Xia Chang is a noble lady."

Xia Dongchun didn't expect such a big surprise. She knelt down quickly and kowtowed to Wang Ruofu exaggeratedly: "Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Queen!"

"Get up."

Wang Ruofu didn't think much about it when she promoted her. It was just an instinctive response of returning a favor when socializing in her previous life. Xia Dongchun moved so many good things to Kunning Palace, she couldn't be like a miser and not give up.

Her private collection is full of fine items, and she would feel reluctant to give them out as rewards, so it would be cheaper to upgrade her rank.

First, the concubines' monthly salary came from the emperor, and second, it was unknown how long it would take for the concubines to save up enough to buy a fine item. As the queen, her annual salary was only one thousand taels of silver.

But this action, which she thought was nothing, made the concubines in the six palaces so angry that their blood boiled.

Concubine Yun and Concubine Cao who were present looked at each other, nodded to each other tacitly, and went back to prepare a generous gift that the Queen would like!
