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

As the weather turned cooler, the emperor and his concubines moved back to the Forbidden City.

During this period, because Concubine Hua slapped Zhen Huan many times and refused to change her ways, Wang Ruofu had to confine the God of Wealth to house arrest for five days.

Although Zhen Huan suffered physical pain and her face swelled up and then subsided, she was not disfigured at the emperor's insistence. Instead, she became more favored.

But using this method to compete for favor naturally made her the target of ridicule from the concubines in the harem. I don't know who was so smart to come up with this nickname, but now even the maids in the laundry department know that there is a "slap lady" in the palace.

Every day when paying her respects, Concubine Hua would emphasize "slap lady", which made Zhen Huan so angry that she would change her face before she was satisfied.

In response, Wang Ruofu and the other concubines just smiled, and no one showed any intention of speaking up for Zhen Huan.

After returning to the palace, Zhen Huan took the initiative to visit Shen Meiyu in Zhongcui Palace. She first explained the rumors that might have affected Shen Meiyu's impression of her.

She shed two tears, revealed her own shortcomings and the hardships she had suffered after entering and leaving the palace, and put all the blame on the dead Wen Shichu, successfully arousing Shen Meizhuang's distressed sisterly love.

"Huan'er, I was the one who believed everything and misunderstood you."

This made Shen Meizhuang feel even more guilty and self-blaming.

Zhen Huan then held Shen Meizhuang's hand in the same intimate manner as before and asked, "You have been talking about me so much. How is Sister Mei? Is she doing well?"

Shen Meizhuang was stunned, her eyes were a little evasive, and she said stubbornly: "What can I do wrong? Isn't life in the palace like this?"

As soon as Zhen Huan arrived, Shen Meizhuang looked at her carefully. Although Zhen Huan was wearing the Manchu dress suitable for an official lady, the silk and jewelry she wore were all exquisite, and her slender fingers were painted with Impatiens balsamina.

It can be seen that he is living a very good life. Grace and favor really nourish people.

Looking at myself, I am getting worse and worse. How come my life has become like this?

Shen Meizhuang didn't have the face to ask Zhen Huan to give up her favor, and the rules of the Shen family were too strict. Caiyue and Caixing had no ability to be the master's mouthpiece like Huanbi, so they just watched from the side.

It was Zhen Huan who took the initiative to say, "Sister Mei, we entered the palace not for ourselves, but for our family. We must fight for favor."

Shen Meizhuang's eyes lit up, and her tone was a little excited: "Huan'er, you..."

Zhen Huan nodded.

She came here today specifically to help Shen Meizhuang, a decision she had been considering for a whole summer.

Concubine Hua values ​​favor and is eyeing her covetously. The Queen sits on the mountain and watches the fight, and is happy to see the concubines killing each other.

She was alone in the palace and if she wanted to advance to a higher position, she had to give birth to an heir. However, it was not easy for her to keep such a low rank. It would be better for her to use Shen Meizhuang, who had a better family background, as a shield.

Shen Meizhuang had no idea what Zhen Huan was thinking, and she was deeply touched.

She had believed rumors and misunderstood Huan'er in the past, but after Huan'er became favored, she came to help her the first time. They were indeed people who grew up together and had a tacit understanding.

They were chatting animatedly, and the main seat in Zhongcui Palace was not idle either.

Concubine Cao ordered someone to carry Wen Yi away, and said coldly: "It seems that they are going to join forces. Well, it's expected. You just said that Concubine Shen asked the imperial physician for the secret recipe for having a child by coercing or bribing him?"

"Yes."

The Grand Palace Maid Yinxiu mocked, "How could such a good thing that everyone in the palace is desperate for fall into the hands of a concubine like her?"

"Humph, I dare to give it to her after she reads the letter." Concubine Cao smiled, with a calculating look in her eyes. "Since they are joining forces to compete for favor and cannot be stopped, I will give them a push."

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall."

Yinxiu asked with some concern: "What if the Queen knew about this?"

Concubine Cao shook her hand, with a desperate look in her eyes: "There are already enough children in the palace. If the two of them also give birth to daughters, will there be a place for Wen Yi in the future?"

"If I had a good family background or good looks, I wouldn't have to go to such lengths. Everything is determined by fate and cannot be controlled by humans."

In the evening, Concubine Cao took the initiative to find Shen Meizhuang, looking embarrassed.

Shen Meizhuang asked in confusion: "Sister Cao, what happened?"

"Alas." Concubine Cao sighed, and only said after Shen Meizhuang's questioning, "I saw Princess Ruling's splendid birthday banquet, and I couldn't help but worry about Wen Yi."

"My mother's family has long been in decline and still needs my help. It's me who has dragged down Wen Yi."

When Shen Meizhuang heard this, she thought it was a sign of good fortune and even God was helping her.

During the day, she had just discussed with Huan'er how to regain the emperor's favor, and now Concubine Cao is short of money. If she can get help from Concubine Cao, she will have no worries about her future.

Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang donated generously. To show her sincerity, she gave most of the banknotes sent from the Shen family to Concubine Cao, saying that it was a little gift to Princess Wen Yi.

Concubine Cao pretended to be excited and said, "Sister! I really don't know how to thank you. Since this is for Wen Yi's sake, you should come and accompany Wen Yi more often."

No matter how unfavored Wen Yi was, she was still the emperor's daughter, and the emperor would visit her once or twice a month.

This is a disguised way of introducing Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang readily agreed.

With the help of Concubine Cao and Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang finally caught the emperor's attention again.

With the favor, Shen Meizhuang soon became complacent, especially when Concubine Hua's attention shifted from Zhen Huan to her, she even "smartly" thought that this meant that she was more favored than Zhen Huan.

Together with Zhen Huan, they fought against Concubine Hua, which made Concubine Hua very angry.

But ever since he slapped Zhen Huan, the Emperor has come to Yikun Palace less frequently, so Concubine Hua is somewhat restrained.

The more the concubines fought, the more at ease Wang Ruofu felt, and of course she wouldn't care.

Whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind prevails over the east wind, she will remain firmly in control.

And she also encountered good things because of this -

Concubine Cao took the benefits she got from Shen Meizhuang and visited Kunning Palace privately.

She presented the envelope containing a thick stack of banknotes with both hands and said respectfully, "This is a small gift from me and Wen Yi. Please accept it, Your Majesty."

"What are you doing?" Wang Ruofu asked in a fake tone, already counting the silver bills in her hands.

Concubine Cao looked even more pious as she said, "I was able to become a concubine because of the Queen's kindness. She couldn't bear to see me separated from Wen Yi and her daughter. I have always been grateful for this."

"Unfortunately, I am weak and only today am I able to serve the Queen."

Wang Ruofu: "You are so thoughtful. I have many children and I don't lack anything except money."

"No, this letter is only the first gift I give to the Queen." Concubine Cao said, "The second gift is that I want to report that Concubine Shen has disloyal intentions towards the Queen."

"Ok?"

Wang Ruofu frowned. It was not that she was arrogant, but Shen Meizhuang's brain was even less smart than hers. How could she accomplish such a big thing?

Her eyes were very direct and Concubine Cao understood it immediately, and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

But she still insisted: "I would never have thought of it at first, but it was indeed me, a servant in the palace, who heard the conversation between the Wanguan woman and Shen Changzai with my own ears."

"They both claimed that as long as they joined forces, they would be able to gain a foothold in the harem, and then they wouldn't have to worry about the Queen and Concubine Hua's faces."

"And, and..."
