Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

As the year draws to a close, the person who has the hardest time is probably Zhen Huan. During this period, the emperor has not changed his ways and often keeps Zhen Huan by his side.

When they were in the Yangxin Palace, the two read books and wrote poems together. Sometimes, the emperor would even discuss state affairs with Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan only tried to decline politely at first, but gradually she became bolder and would comment on everything with the emperor. This made her feel that she was different in the emperor's eyes.

She became a little proud and began to not care about other people's eyes or opinions. She only wanted to win favor.

But when she was not in the Yangxin Palace, she lived an extremely torturous life. The emperor gave her the power to learn and assist in the management of the six palaces. Therefore, she either went to the Jingren Palace to check the account books, or was called to the Yiku Palace to be tortured by Concubine Hua.

The eunuchs in Jingren Palace sang: "The Empress has arrived."

"May Her Majesty be blessed with good health," everyone saluted.

The Queen waved her hand and said, "Sisters, please take a seat! New Year's Eve is almost here, and I would like to ask for your opinions today. Do you have any ideas for New Year's Eve?"

Concubine Qi immediately responded, "Empress, isn't the New Year's Eve program the same every year? What else can we do?"

Shen Meizhuang glanced at the person sitting next to her. Zhen Huan seemed to be in a bad mood and was yawning. Then she turned around and saw that Concubine Jing on the other side also seemed to be in a bad mood and was yawning.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but laugh. Was there some gossip she didn't know about? Why were they all staying up all night?

Suddenly, she heard the Queen call her name: "Noble Lady Ning, you have always been cautious. Do you have any thoughts on New Year's Eve?"

Shen Meizhuang covered her lips with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Empress, I don't know how to handle duties at home. If you want to talk about palace banquets, you might as well ask Concubine Wan. She has always been smart."

The Queen smiled after hearing this and said, "Yes, these days, Noble Lady Wan has been learning the duties of the six palaces from me. She is very intelligent and has mastered many palace duties immediately. The Emperor has also praised her highly."

Hearing this, Concubine Hua's face was filled with jealousy and impatience: "Your Majesty, the Nan Mansion started rehearsing the songs and dances for the New Year's Eve banquet long ago. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to add them now?"

The Queen deliberately praised Zhen Huan to make Concubine Hua angry. When will Concubine Hua realize what is happening?

Seeing Concubine Hua's expression change, the Queen was in a very good mood: "The Emperor advocates frugality, and this New Year's Eve is the first New Year's Eve banquet held by the Emperor since he ascended the throne. I hope my sister will pay more attention to it."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the Queen's plan, and found it very funny that Concubine Hua didn't react at all. The Queen mentioned frugality, so she wouldn't give more money. If the wedding was too extravagant, Concubine Hua would have to pay for it out of her own pocket.

How did Concubine Hua fight with Yixiu over the years? She is so straightforward and cute!

Not only did Concubine Hua not notice it, she felt that she had surpassed the Queen and was extremely proud of herself!

Concubine Hua looked lazy and her tone was full of disdain: "Of course, since the Emperor has entrusted this to me, I will naturally do it properly. Otherwise, I would be letting the Emperor down. There is no need for the Empress to worry about this."

After paying their respects, Shen Meizhuang took An Lingrong with her and went to Suiyuxuan together.

An Lingrong: "Sister, why are you so happy?"

Shen Meizhuang first pulled Zhen Huan over and pressed her in front of the dressing table: "I asked someone to teach me a few makeup looks, and specifically asked Caixing and Caiyue to come and learn them."

"Now, if each of us three draws one, it will surely make the New Year's Eve banquet a dazzling spectacle and bring good luck to the new year."

Zhen Huan also became interested and said happily, "Really? Sister Mei, you really are thoughtful."

Caixing and Caiyue stepped forward, one by one, and stood in front of Zhen Huan and An Lingrong respectively.

Zhen Huan was given a fallen plum blossom makeup, which is also called plum blossom makeup. Because wintersweets are not available all year round, many people cut very thin gold foil paper into petal shapes and stick them on the forehead or cheeks.

Afterwards, she applied a pear-shaped makeup for An Lingrong, with a style that was mainly light and delicate, with thin eyebrows, red makeup on her cheeks, and a teardrop-shaped pattern on her forehead, which instantly made An Lingrong look much brighter.

An Lingrong immediately became happy: "Sister, this makeup is so beautiful. I wonder where you learned it from."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the two figures in the mirror and felt that they were very eye-catching, and it was worth her effort.

Shen Meizhuang: "It was just a spur of the moment thing. I went to see Concubine Jing and asked a few old people in the palace to teach me."

"Zhen Huan, I'm sorry. In order to divert the Queen's attention, I can only block you in front. If you can use this opportunity to discover what's happening with Queen Chun Yuan, it will be your good fortune."

Zhen Huan was still unaware of Shen Meizhuang's accusations. She stared at herself in the mirror, unable to move her eyes. "We've both finished our makeup. I wonder what look your sister has prepared for you? I'd like you to take a look."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and glanced at Baojuan beside An Lingrong. "I've also prepared a makeup look for myself. It's pearl makeup, but I won't be using it on my cheeks, just my forehead."

"Why is this?" An Lingrong asked in confusion.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said embarrassedly: "Because I am pregnant, I just found out, and I plan to announce it at the New Year's Eve banquet."

"Really? That's great, congratulations, Sister Mei," Zhen Huan was the first to congratulate Shen Meizhuang, but the words "unacceptable" flashed in her eyes.

An Lingrong, who was standing by, also echoed, "Congratulations, sister. In this case, sister, you must be more careful about what you eat!"

Shen Meizhuang nodded.

Zhen Huan: "Among the three of us, my sister is the first to become pregnant. The Emperor has always loved her very much. I think he will be very happy when he finds out."

Shen Meizhuang's ears turned red: "How can it be like what you said? Stop teasing me."

Zhen Huan gently touched the plum blossom pattern on her forehead with her hand, and said with a complicated expression: "Sister, I really like this makeup."

"Since it's not convenient for you to put on makeup, I have a pearl headpiece that the Emperor just gifted me. I think it should be able to replace your pearl makeup and make you look stunning at the New Year's Eve banquet."

Having said that, he sent Liuzhu to the warehouse to get it out. After opening the box, Shen Meizhuang really liked it.

She didn't like wearing gold or silver. The tassels on her head were mostly light-colored silk flowers or jade tassels, and she rarely used gold or silver jewelry.

Shen Meizhuang just adjusted her hairstyle to make her stunning face even more radiant.

Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel a little jealous and said, "Look at how beautiful it looks on you, sister. I can't bear to give it to you."

"It's only been a few months since I last saw you during the talent show, but you've become even more beautiful. You've changed so much. I wonder what beauty products you use. I'm so jealous!"

An Lingrong also smiled and agreed, "That's right! If my sister were a boy, I'd probably fall in love with her too."

Shen Meizhuang: "You know what I used, how could you not know? If I don't send you any good things, you have no conscience."

Several people were chatting and laughing on the side. Baojuan's face changed. Shen Meizhuang looked at her, "Don't let me down..."
