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

"The Emperor has issued an order to release you from your confinement. He said that you have been wronged these days, so he ordered me to pick out a lot of treasures from his private storehouse and send them to you. He also said that he would come to see you after he finished his government affairs."

Hearing this, Ye Bingshang heaved a sigh of relief. Su Peisheng was Yinzhen's confidant, so what he said could not be false. It was good that the ban was lifted. The life-and-death situation of the fake pregnancy was over, and the rest could be planned slowly.

But her face only showed a hint of joy, which was soon replaced by disappointment and melancholy. She thanked Su Peisheng gently and respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Su. I'd like to ask you to express my gratitude to the Emperor on my behalf." Ye Bingshang indicated to Caiyue that she should pay enough tribute. "It's just a token of my appreciation. I'll buy Eunuch Su a cup of tea. I hope you won't mind."

Su Peisheng took the purse and pinched it with two fingers. A thin piece of silver bills appeared on his face, and his smile became even bigger. "Mr. Shen is too polite. This is all my duty."

Now that the ban has been lifted, Zhen Huan, who grew up with the original owner Shen Meizhuang, will come to visit her in a few days at the latest. She must act more convincingly, at least for now not to arouse the suspicion of this "female Zhuge Liang" as Shen Meizhuang calls her.

Ye Bingshang was thinking while boiling water and making tea.

According to Shen Meizhuang's reaction in her previous life, she did everything she could to avoid sleeping with Yinzhen after the ban was lifted because she did not have Yinzhen's trust. It seems that she was a person who valued her face and self-esteem more than wealth and glory, and even her life.

Thinking of this, the strength in her hand lost its balance and the tea splashed out. Ye Bingshang pressed her temples in pain.

This wouldn't do. Even though Ye Bingshang had just arrived, she knew that the palace could be without anything except Yinzhen's favor.

One's position can be promoted, one's family background can be falsified, and even one's children can be raised by someone else. All of these can be decided by Yinzhen with just a word or a thought.

But what should she do to continue to compete for favor without appearing abrupt and arousing suspicion from Zhen Huan, who understands Shen Meizhuang's character?

Not to mention that Ye Bingshang still needs to rely on Zhen Huan's favor, just to mention that Zhen Huan had taken the trouble to plead for her not long ago, she couldn't distance herself from Zhen Huan at this time.

Ye Bingshang suddenly thought of the ups and downs, separations and reunions between Zhen Huan and Yinzhen in her previous life, and every time Zhen Huan fell out of favor and regained it, she would be more favored than before.

Could it be that Yinzhen just likes this kind of noble and stubborn style, and regards love as more important than anything else?

If so, Ye Bingshang is very experienced. Tan Tai Jin and Ye Xiwu are living examples from beginning to end! What's more interesting is that the original owner, Shen Meizhuang, is actually more arrogant and stubborn than Zhen Huan, and is also more ignorant of current affairs.

Ye Bingshang had a vague idea in her mind. Perhaps she could imitate Shen Meizhuang's attitude, but not say anything absolute, and deliberately keep Yinzhen in suspense.

In the evening, Yinzhen, who had said he would come in the morning, did not arrive until dinner time. He took Ye Bingshang's hand and held it very naturally, as if nothing had happened before.

"Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling better?"

As soon as Yinzhen came in, he noticed that Ye Bingshang had a gloomy look on her face. He self-righteously thought that she was unhappy because he did not deal with Concubine Hua.

He should have been angry at her for being inconsiderate, but when he thought about her being confined and poisoned, he felt sorry for her and felt guilty.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern." Ye Bingshang's voice was soft and weak, her smile was gentle yet dignified, and her every word and action was respectful and polite.

Yinzhen's eyes darkened. This shouldn't be like this. She didn't pull her hand away, nor did she reveal her dissatisfaction, but he could feel that she was distancing herself from him.

Yinzhen's chest began to hurt again, so much so that he dared not look at Ye Bingshang. He avoided her gaze and saw the room filled with elegant vases filled with purple magnolias. "I think this magnolia is a good match for you, even better than chrysanthemums. Do you like it?"

"Your Majesty, I like it very much."

Ye Bingshang was held by Yinzhen's hand, and they sat down one after the other. Her expression was still as gentle and docile as before. "Although I like chrysanthemums, I don't dislike other flowers because of this."

"Whether it's the purple magnolia, the peony, or the crabapple, I like them all. I understand the principle of which flowers bloom in which season."

These words were pointed and seemed to be a sign of weakness, showing her understanding and rationality.

Yinzhen naturally understood, but he did not feel happy. Instead, he felt as if a breath was suppressed in his chest, unable to swallow or spit out. She still blamed him.

One hand gently patted Ye Bingshang's cold hand, while the other hand clenched the eighteen-bead jade bracelet a little anxiously.

It's so weird.

Yinzhen felt vaguely that he shouldn't care so much about Ye Bingshang. Why did he suddenly like Ye Bingshang so much?

He obviously loves Chun Yuan, and his favorite before was Zhen Huan who looks very similar to Chun Yuan, but he hasn't seen Zhen Huan for a while, but he doesn't miss her very much. It's really weird.

The emotion that caused all this was hidden in Ye Bingshang's heart at this moment, and Ye Bingshang had not expected that Yinzhen would realize something was wrong so quickly, and was obediently serving Yinzhen food.

Even if Ye Bingshang knew about it, she wouldn't worry too much. Love wouldn't make people lose their mind to like her, and there were no goddesses or demons in this place to expose her.

Neither of them ate much for dinner. Ye Bingshang needed to avoid certain foods as she was still recovering from an illness, while Yinzhen did not have time to eat because he was struggling with inexplicable emotions.

Yinzhen did not stay overnight because although Ye Bingshang was released from house arrest, in the eyes of everyone she was poisoned and was still "recuperating", so she could not sleep with him.

Yinzhen wanted to stay and take a nap, and observe Ye Bingshang more to find out the reason for this sudden throbbing.

But Ye Bingshang didn't want him to stay overnight, and advised him virtuously: "I am weak and I am afraid I can't serve the emperor well. Please consider the emperor's health and the heir."

Yinzhen: “…”

Before leaving, Yinzhen stared at Ye Bingshang's plain cloth palace dress, which was not much better than that of a palace maid, for a while. Then he turned around and looked at all the items in the room that were not suitable for a noble's status, and his face darkened.

He narrowed his eyes, pointed at a set of tea sets that were only used by people of high rank, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ye Bingshang spoke before Caiyue could say, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be better to keep my clothes clean and simple during the confinement period. I haven't had time to change them back yet."

What else could it be? The one who actually manages the six palaces is Concubine Hua. She was framed by Concubine Hua. Can she still expect Concubine Hua not to add insult to injury? Does Concubine Hua have that kind of character or that kind of brains?

You are unwilling to punish Concubine Hua, and it would be shameful for you to tell her. Why are you still asking? You are setting a trap for her.

Ye Bingshang cursed in her heart, maintaining a gentle and dignified smile on her face, but the aura she exuded became more distant.

Yinzhen also came to his senses and looked embarrassed. He had wanted to punish some servants who had caused trouble for Ye Bingshang in order to please her, but he did not expect that it would be useless if he could not punish the real boss.

"I will have someone send you something better later. Suzhou has presented five pieces of floating brocade as tribute. The colors are very beautiful. I will have Su Peisheng send them all to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."

……

It has to be said that compared to Shen Meizhuang's cold violence and Zhen Huan's grief-stricken questioning, Ye Bingshang's attitude, which is still gentle and meticulous but reveals indifference and alienation in every move, is more tormenting.

Especially, there is love involved which touches Yinzhen's feelings.

Ye Bingshang was very satisfied with her performance. She was neither too arrogant and annoying, nor too gullible and prone to contempt. The most important thing was that even Caiyue didn't think her reaction was wrong.

Caiyue was worried after Yinzhen left. "My lady, I know you are angry with the emperor, but the emperor is the emperor after all. You will only get angry with him."
