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

The elders had no time to explore whether Gong Yuanzheng had changed his temper. The most urgent task was to deal with Gong Ziyu's affairs to avoid the negative impact caused by his repeated reckless intrusions. Calculating the time, the guards who went to pick up the old master of Shang Palace would soon be back, and then it would be Gong Shangjiao's succession to the sword, so there could be no delay.

Zhang Xueming was not the kind of person who needed to wait for someone to ask her to send guests away. As soon as Elder Xue came in, she stood up and said with a smile, "Grandfathers, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the women's guest house first?"

Elder Yue was startled for a moment, then smiled with relief: "Zhao Zhao, there is no need to be so anxious. Let Yuan Zheng accompany you to stretch your legs first. You stay here for a while. After Yuan Zheng attends Shang Jiao's succession ceremony, let him take you back - Zhao Zhao."

Zhang Xueming walked around the tea table to the center of the small hall and bowed respectfully: "Zhao Zhao is here, Elder, please let me know if you have anything to say."

Elder Yue nodded with satisfaction: "The Zheng family and the palace have a deep friendship. The two factions have been friends for a long time and are as close as a family. Since the head of the Zheng family has entrusted you, Zhaozhao, to the palace for care, and you have an appointment with Yuanzheng, there is nothing wrong with staying in the Zheng Palace temporarily. But you entered the palace as a bride to be selected, and you have to go through the marriage selection process. You must know that if your name is not right, your words will not flow... Zhaozhao, let me ask you, if I let you stay in the Zheng Palace as the future wife of the Zheng Palace, are you willing?"

When he said this, he and the other two elders secretly paid attention to the changes in Gong Shangjiao's expression, and found that... his face was still as dead as a fish, without any emotion at all.

If he hadn't caught up with the palace marriage selection, he would have deserved to be single! The three elders, who didn't know that the number of brides to be selected had shrunk dramatically, almost rolled their eyes at Gong Shangjiao.

Unable to watch Gong Shangjiao's excitement, the elders turned back to watch the two little ones' excitement:

Zhang Xueming looked up at the right time, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

She looked at Gong Yuanzheng hesitantly, and saw that his eyes were wide open again, with an anxious look on his face. She once again hallucinated that there was a big furry tail shaking like an electric fan behind him, and she almost burst out laughing.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gong Shangjiao again.

There was no fluctuation on Gong Shangjiao's indifferent face. He just closed his eyes and urged her with a deep look: "Stop acting, do it faster, or you may capsize."

Zhang Xueming turned his gaze back to Gong Yuanzheng's face: Huh! This silly boy's eyes are slightly red, and he looks like he's about to cry at any moment.

Zhang Xueming retracted his gaze, lowered his head and hesitated for three seconds before looking up to meet Elder Shangyue's scrutinizing gaze. He neither avoided nor gave way, with an air of "taking a gamble" and spoke clearly: "Zhao Zhao is willing."

It was as if the right button had been pressed, and the tense atmosphere just now when Elder Yue said "If the name is not right, the words will not flow" instantly returned to normal.

The three elders all showed satisfied and contented smiles on their faces, and Elder Yue said again: "Let's go on an expedition."

Gong Yuanzheng quickly closed his grinning mouth, stood up and walked to Zhang Xueming, bowing respectfully: "Yuanzheng is here, elder, please tell me what I want to say."

Elder Yue scanned him from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, and then said slowly: "Zhao Zhao will stay in the female guest house for the time being. When the marriage selection ceremony is over, you can take Zhao Zhao to the Zheng Palace. Make arrangements in advance and be thorough, so as not to panic when the time comes."

Gong Yuanzheng suppressed the corner of his mouth that was raised and bowed again: "I will obey your command."

"Okay, accompany Zhaozhao for a walk, but don't go too far." Elder Yue waved his hand.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Shangjiao, who nodded slightly. He then turned his head happily to Zhang Xueming and said, "Zhao Zhao, let's go."

Zhang Xueming bowed to the elders and Gong Shangjiao, then smiled at him and said, "Okay."

After watching the two children walk out of the palace gate one after the other, and the palace gate closed again to block the cold wind outside, Elder Yue stopped smiling and ordered the guard leader Jin Yingsheng with a slightly gloomy face: "Tell Elder Xue and Shang Jiao everything from the beginning."

Jin Yingsheng had no choice but to tell the story again about how Gong Ziyu ignored the martial law at the palace gate and tried to leave, and even attacked the guard team with the intention of breaking in. He stole a glance at Elder Yue's expression and wisely told him his guess that Gong Ziyu was most likely going to Wanhua Tower to drink wine.

Hearing that Gong Ziyu was making trouble in order to go drink, Elder Xue couldn't help but frown: "Why is this kid getting more and more out of line as he grows older?"

Gong Shangjiao was silent for a while with a gloomy face, and then he said: "The most urgent thing is to bring brother Ziyu back first. Now except for the people in Zhiren Palace, no one else knows that old Zhiren has fallen ill."

The three elders were shocked. Yes, if they let Gong Ziyu continue to make trouble, and when the news spread that he quarreled with Lao Zhiren and made Lao Zhiren suffer a stroke, and then turned around and threatened to leave the palace, others would not care whether he knew that his father was ill while he was making trouble, and would only say that he was unfilial.

The label of being unfilial is much more serious than the reputation of being a playboy. If he is really labeled as such, he will not be able to inherit the position of Palace Master of Yu Palace.

Gong Ziyu had caused trouble in more than one place, and it was too late to block the news. Elder Hua ordered Jin Yingsheng to bring him back by force: "If he resists, you can knock him out and send him back to Yugong."

Jin Yingsheng took the order and went out, and the small hall became quiet for a while.

"Shang Jiao, regarding the punishment of Gong Ziyu..." Elder Xue spoke tentatively.

"Let the elders decide." Gong Shangjiao remembered what Zhang Xueming said, "To hold out hope for someone who is used to being partial is like praying for a rooster to lay eggs." He said, "Brother Yuanzheng was right just now. Old Zhiren's body can't stand the torture."

The expressions of the three elders indeed relaxed. Just then, someone came to report that the old Palace Master of Shang Palace, Gong Liushang, was waiting outside the main hall of Zhiren Palace. So they and Gong Shangjiao left the small hall and called Gong Yuanzheng, who was accompanying Zhang Xueming to watch the snow scenery at the end of the corridor, to set off for Zhiren Palace.

Zhang Xueming returned to the small hall and sat by the window, seemingly continuing to appreciate the snow scene, but in fact his consciousness had long since condensed into a thin thread, passing through the wall and entering the Zhiren Hall to watch Gong Shangjiao's emergency succession ceremony.

The ceremony was really simple to the extreme.

The three elders stood on a step below the sword-wielding throne and briefly explained the reasons for replacing the young master and the reasons for the old sword-wielding throne's departure. They took turns asking Gong Shangjiao three questions, such as "Are you willing to live and die for the palace?" Blablabla.

Gong Shangjiao replied "yes" with a resounding voice, and Elder Hua announced: "The mandate of heaven cannot be refused, the sacred weapon cannot be left alone for long, the ministers cannot be without a master, and all affairs cannot be without a leader. I hereby appoint Gong Shangjiao to the throne and wield the sword."

Elder Yue handed the blade seal and token to Gong Shangjiao, and Elder Xue put on a black gold-embroidered blade robe with a hem that dragged on the ground, and the matter was settled.

If the process had not been so simple as to be almost sloppy, and just by listening to Elder Hua's choice of words, those who didn't know would have thought that Gong Shangjiao was going to be an emperor instead of a sword bearer.

On the contrary, the old Palace Master Gong Liushang, who was paralyzed in bed and had to be carried to watch the ceremony, was quite interesting.

After the ceremony, he called Gong Shangjiao over, grabbed Gong Shangjiao's hand, and smiled stiffly and terrifyingly on his thin face with protruding cheekbones: "Shangjiao, I remember every word you said just now, you must do it." He muttered vaguely: "Otherwise you have seen that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. The evil one can't pretend to be good. God is watching..."

Without waiting for the elders to scold him, he let go of Gong Shangjiao's hand and waved for people to carry him back.

The crowd could not see the figure surrounded by the guards, but only heard his hearty laughter coming from outside the palace: "Today is a great day, the Shang Palace is holding a banquet, and every servant and guard will be rewarded with three months' salary, to congratulate me on taking up my new position!"
