Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

The handsome young man was startled by Gong Yuanzheng's question and took several steps back. He blinked his big eyes at Gong Yuanzheng, looking like a frightened rabbit ready to turn around and run away at any time. He stammered and answered irrelevantly: "I, I, I am not a bad person!"

Gong Yuanzheng had already quickly turned sideways to half-block Zhang Xueming as he turned back, and pressed the hidden weapon bag on his waist with his right hand. However, when he saw the man's expression clearly and heard those words, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

He was unarmed, not hostile, and his words and actions revealed an innocence that was hard to ignore...

His fear of a formidable enemy seemed to make him look a little silly.

Gong Yuanzheng withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

Another person entered the secret room.

He was a handsome boy of about eleven or twelve years old with a calm expression. He was wearing the same snow-white robe as the young man and had a diamond-shaped cinnabar dot between his eyebrows.

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at the patterns on the front of the two men's robes, which were similar to those on Elder Xue's robe. "What are the people from the Snow Palace doing here? Did the Council of Elders allow you to join this search?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned around and glared at Jin Tong: "Jin Tong, how did you get this topaz? You didn't even know someone touched your back. Do you have to be stabbed twice before you can react?"

"...Just when I was about to remind Master Zheng, Master Xue started talking, and I didn't have time." Jin Tong glanced at Zhang Xueming, who was hiding behind Gong Yuanzheng and laughing, and explained helplessly. He had obviously noticed someone coming in earlier than him, but he didn't remind Gong Yuanzheng, and in the end he was the one who was criticized. What bad luck.

I also have to diligently introduce them to each other and pay my respects to the two people from the Snow Palace.

"That's Yuki Chongzi from the Snow Palace. This is Master Xue."

"This is Master Zheng of the Zheng Palace, and that is Master Zheng's fiancée, Miss Zhao."

Xue Chongzi walked to the side of Master Xue, and Zhang Xueming also walked out from behind Gong Yuanzheng.

When that stunning face appeared, Xue Chongzi was stunned for just a few seconds before his eyes regained clarity. However, Xue Gongzi was so stunned that his eyeballs could not even move.

"Cough!" Xue Chongzi and Gong Yuanzheng coughed at the same time.

Young Master Xue looked frightened again. He bowed hastily and hid behind Xue Chongzi with his head down, not caring whether Xue Chongzi's small body could block him. His face was as red as a ripe apple, and he looked even more stupid.

Gong Yuanzheng was relieved. So what if they were of similar status? If she was so stupid, no matter how pretty she looked, Zhao Zhao would not be interested in her.

"We heard that something unexpected happened in the Moon Palace. The elders asked people from the front mountain to come over and search. We came to see if we can help." Xue Chongzi's eyes were indifferent, and his mature words and actions were different from his immature appearance.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng and Jin Tong turned to look at Zhang Xueming. It was very clear who was in charge here.

Xue Chongzi was stunned and looked at Zhang Xueming curiously. He knew that the palace masters of the Zheng Palace always put their wives first, but Jin Tong was the one among the topaz servants who had the best chance of getting the red jade before the age of thirty. He was arrogant in his bones, so it was strange that he was willing to listen to Zhang Xueming.

Zhang Xueming let him look at her, and said with a smile: "The head of the Snow Palace is willing to help, which is what we are looking for."

Xue Chongzi was startled and subconsciously looked at Jin Tong, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

Jin Tong waved his hands: "I didn't say anything!" But he stood beside Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng without moving. He was also one of the "us" mentioned by Zhang Xueming.

Gong Yuanzheng asked Zhang Xueming in surprise: "Is this kid the person in charge? Isn't Elder Xue the person in charge of the Snow Palace?" At worst, there is still the silly young man hiding behind the child. How come it is the turn of a child to take the lead? It's not like Zhenggong is the only one who can do it.

Zhang Xueming met Xue Chongzi's scrutinizing gaze and smiled kindly.

After many attempts, she has now figured out the mode of communication with the people in the back mountain. As long as you show your strength directly without any hostility, no matter what aspect it is, they will think you are very good. Even if you are a little impolite, they will think it is polite and will not regard it as an offense.

Since Houshanren fell for this, Zhang Xueming didn't care that the person was present. When Gong Yuanzheng asked, she answered directly: "This senior must have practiced some strange martial arts and regained his youth. When he first came in, he looked at us the way my elders at home look at me."

The Zhang and Zheng families already had quite a lot of elders and relatives, and later on there was the second uncle Gong who sounded very fatherly. She was very familiar with that look in his eyes.

"Young Master Hua is the heir of the Hua Palace, and Young Master Xue should be the heir of the Snow Palace. Young Master Xue is headed by this senior, and his performance just now is very obvious." Zhang Xueming explained to Gong Yuanzheng with a smile. As for the fact that Jin Tong introduced Xue Chongzi first, she did not mention it, and threw out a hook at the right time: "Moreover, if Elder Xue was the head of the Snow Palace, he would not only allow a junior like me, a top-grade snow lotus and three ordinary snow lotuses, as a gift for meeting."

She looked at the four people with puzzled expressions, and her smile deepened. "Elder Xue has been in contact with the front mountain for a long time, how could he not know that gifts should be given in pairs? Didn't Yuan see the gifts I gave to the elders in return? Although they were all shoes, socks, accessories, and snacks for the elders, the quantities were all prepared in even numbers such as 'two, six, eight'."

The four people suddenly realized and felt that they had learned something new.

"Miss Zhao is really quick-witted." Master Xue was no longer shy and praised innocently.

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at him disapprovingly and corrected him bluntly: "At this time, you should use 'gentle and elegant' or 'clever and intelligent'. Zhao Zhao is not reciting poetry."

Master Xue was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and he approached cautiously: "Master Zheng knows a lot."

Gong Yuanzheng once again felt like he was threatening the boatman with his eyes and ended up receiving a hearty smile from him.

He stared at Mr. Snow with his eyes wide open. Mr. Snow blinked in confusion and gave him a big smile.

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned, and turned away from him in frustration. What's wrong with these people in the back mountain? They only know how to laugh.

Zhang Xueming and Xue Chongzi watched the two of them interacting, and they both raised their lips at the same time. They looked at each other, confirming that they were both parents who were happy to see their children make new friends, and nodded politely - thank you for your patience.

"You don't have to call me senior, just call me Xue Chongzi." Xue Chongzi's expression softened.

Gong Yuanzheng asked curiously, "Is Snowworm also good at raising insects?"

"Xue Chongzi is good at growing snow lotus." Xue Gongzi answered seriously, "Chong means Chonghua."

It turns out that she doesn't share the same hobby as him. Gong Yuanzheng sighed in disappointment and handed the box with the note to Jin Tong: "Find a bag to put it in. These evidences must be handed over to the Council of Elders."

Master Xue started to help open the box and handed it to Gong Yuanzheng to identify. He was embarrassed to go to Zhang Xueming's side, so he pushed Jin Tong away.

Gong Yuanzheng threatened him: "You have heard rumors about me in the back mountain, right? You are so close to me, aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death?"

"I take Herb Extract on time, once every half a month." Master Xue said with a smile, "I heard that Herb Extract was invented by you, and the medicine sent to the back mountain every month was also prepared by you personally."

"Don't I know of a poison that even Baicaocui can't protect against?" Gong Yuanzheng's tone was firm, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Then who in the front mountain did you poison to death?" Master Xue opened his eyes wide.

Gong Yuanzheng choked and glared at him: "I have poisoned many assassins who sneaked into the palace."

"Then I'm not a bladeless assassin, why do you want to poison me?" Master Xue tilted his head, with bright red cinnabar between his eyebrows.

Gong Yuanzheng seemed to see two long rabbit ears hanging from his head.

Silly.

Gong Yuanzheng thought about it, but he didn't hate it, so he let him ask all kinds of questions.

Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was not opposed to it and that having Master Xue and Jin Tong to help him open the box was enough, Zhang Xueming simply gave up his position.

She found two mats and spread them on the ground. She sat cross-legged on one of them and began to look through the pile of books and bamboo slips. She also scanned them with her spiritual sense and stored them in her memory palace, while chatting with Xue Chongzi about random things.

"What does a snow palace look like? The kind covered in ice and snow?"

"Yeah." Yuki Shigeko felt that her answer was too brief, and added: "It snows all year round."

"Then we can build an igloo to live in." Zhang Xueming imagined a palace made entirely of ice and sighed, "It must be very beautiful when it sparkles in the sun."

"No, it's a wooden house, which should be not much different from the one built in the front mountain." Xue Zhongzi asked curiously, "Can people live in a house made of ice?"

"Yes, I've read in a book that there are tribes in the far north who live in the ice and snow. They build igloos and have fire pits in the houses for making fire. I tried it when it snowed heavily. It was quite interesting. It was cold and the ice was thick, but the house was very warm."

Zhang Xueming flipped through the book in his hand quickly while saying, "Do you usually use ice lanterns for lighting at night? You melt snow water, add various dyes, freeze it into ice, and then carve it into shapes. Make a hole inside and put candles in. The colorful lights will look very beautiful at night."

"...No, it's just an ordinary lantern." Xue Chongzi felt that he had lived in the Snow Palace for so many years in vain. They had never tried anything that Zhang Xueming said. It didn't sound complicated but very interesting.

"So what do you usually do in the Snow Palace?" Zhang Xueming glanced at Xue Chongzi's pretty face. This face was too deceiving. Even though he knew that the person living inside might be an old man, he still couldn't help but feel pity for him and wanted to reach out and pinch him... Forget it, just go back and pinch your own young master.

"Practice martial arts, plant snow lotus, play chess, drink tea. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset."

"A regular life is good for health." Zhang Xueming couldn't help but look at his little boy who learned to stay up late from his brother, and changed the subject: "What specialties does Xue Palace have?"

"Snow lotus porridge?" Xue Chongzi said uncertainly, "There are also mushroom chicken porridge, vegetable porridge, yam porridge..."

Zhang Xueming joked, "Don't tell me you guys eat porridge for every meal?"

"Yeah." Xue Zhongzi was inexplicably embarrassed, "We only know how to make porridge."

"You do it yourself? Don't you have servants to serve you?" Zhang Xueming became serious. Could it be the same situation as in Zheng Palace?

Xue Zhongzi didn't understand why she was so concerned about this question, and answered honestly: "The Snow Palace is too cold. People who don't have internal energy to keep warm can easily get sick. Besides, I don't like too many people."

Another soft-hearted person who would rather suffer than embarrass others. Zhang Xueming moved his body and gave half of the cushion to Gong Yuanzheng who came over: "Have you finished checking the box?"

"I know there will be a recipe under the box, so I just need to check to see if there is one. I found two with similar dates, and I guess they were not reported. In the past two years, I have collected a lot of rare medicinal materials, but I haven't seen any with recipes. I'm afraid they spend their time elsewhere and don't have the energy to study these."

Gong Yuanzheng sat down next to her, between her and Xue Chongzi.

"For the rest, I will write a petition to my brother and have them all shipped back to Zheng Palace for detailed inspection. No matter how well these herbs are preserved, their efficacy will weaken over time, so we should not waste them."

"That's true." Zhang Xueming said, "I've seen some of the herbal medicine boxes have dates five or six years old. I don't know if the herbs inside can still be used."

"What were Zhao Zhao talking about with Xue Zhongzi just now? I heard you say that the igloo was very warm and the ice lanterns were very pretty." Gong Yuanzheng shook her sleeves gently and turned to talk to Xue Gongzi, who was sharing the same cushion with Xue Zhongzi: "Right, Xue Gongzi heard it too."

Mr. Xue hastened to prove it to his new friend: "Yes, yes, I heard it too."

Zhang Xueming then told them about the topic he had just discussed with Xue Chongzi.

Jin Tong wanted to listen, but seeing them all holding a book and flipping through it, he still felt his scalp tingling and his whole body uncomfortable. He took a whistle from a string of small whistles made of different materials and handed it to Gong Yuanzheng: "I'll go to the next door to take a look. Master Zheng, remember to call me when you want some snacks."

As soon as Gong Yuanzheng answered the phone, he immediately jumped out and no matter how interesting the topic was, he couldn't be kept back.

"Jin Tong is still so afraid of studying." Master Xue opened a scroll of bamboo slips with a smile.

He and Xue Chongzi were not interested in medicine and poison, they just wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Master Yue and have a chat with this rare outsider.

Gong Yuanzheng would not say a word about Elder Yue helping Lao Zhiren to shield Madam Wu Ji without Gong Shangjiao's permission.

But Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi both knew that something had happened in the Moon Palace. Someone from the front mountain would come to search the Moon Palace today. Elder Xue did not intend to hide the matter of Yue Gongzi from them, but he did not want to tell them in person about how Yue Gongzi, who grew up with them, had betrayed the palace... so he pointed to Gong Yuanzheng to be the bad guy.

Zhang Xueming sneered in her heart. She could let her young master be a villain, but she should not think the price was too high and painful later.

When Master Xue asked, Gong Yuanzheng told him and Xue Chongzi about the story of Master Yue, Yun Que and Yun Weishan.

Zhang Xueming had taught him that he could vent his emotions when talking to her and Gong Shangjiao, but it was best to only state objective facts when talking to others. This time, he really tried his best to suppress his emotions and told the story in a straightforward manner, adding at the end: "These were all admitted by Elder Yue in front of my brother, the two elders, and me."

Mr. Xue and Mr. Xue Chongzi fell into silence.

Gong Yuanzheng ignored them and spread the book on his stretched-out skirt, flipping through it with one hand while the other hand quietly crept under Zhang Xueming's wide goose yellow sleeves embroidered with tuberose patterns and hooked her fingers to play with them.

Zhang Xueming imitated him, turning the pages of the book with his left hand, and poking and scratching his palm with his right hand from time to time. The two of them enjoyed themselves.

It was not until Xue Chongzi spoke that the two of them, whose hands were hidden under Zhang Xueming's wide sleeves, quietly separated.

"I rarely leave the Snow Palace. It's Xiaoyue and Xiaohua who come to see Xiaoxue and me. Two years ago, Xiaoyue didn't come to the Snow Palace for a long time, and Xiaoxue went to the Moon Palace to look for him. He didn't see Xiaoxue, and only asked the servants to tell Xiaoxue that he had to retreat to develop new drugs and didn't have time to meet us for the time being.

At that time, Xiaoyue had said that she wanted to secretly go to the front mountain to see the Chuyun Chonglian cultivated by Master Zheng, and meet Master Zheng, the herbal genius that his father said was rare in a century. We all thought that he was eager to win and wanted to achieve something as soon as possible to impress his father, so we didn't investigate further...

Later, we heard that the medicine man of the Moon Palace had died. We thought that the development of the new medicine had failed, so we all went to look for him and wanted to comfort him. We found that his hair had turned white overnight, as if he had suffered a great blow, and he became less and less talkative. We were all very surprised... We didn't expect the truth to be like this. "

Xue Zhongzi sighed and patted the depressed Xue Gongzi: "Xiaoyue, this is her own fault, no one else can be blamed. We should take this as a warning - Xiaoxue, in the face of major issues, we cannot make mistakes, remember this?"
