Comprehensive film and television: Every time I dress up as a supporting role

After the selection, Yinzhen decided to confer titles on the harem first to fill the positions of the four concubines and six imperial concubines.

The position is now too empty.

Among the concubines now, there are Concubine Hua, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Qi, and one person is missing. Concubine Jing has been in the position of concubine for a long time, and has done a good job in assisting the six palaces. She also has a son, the Fourth Prince, and this time she was promoted to Concubine Jing.

Wanpin is already a concubine, so she has no chance of promotion this time. Perhaps she can be promoted to concubine only after a noble concubine is promoted in the future.

Concubine Cao was an old woman and was pregnant with a daughter, Wen Yi. Yinzhen liked her very much and promoted Concubine Cao to concubine and gave her the title of Liang, making her Concubine Liang.

Wen Yi transferred the title to Liangpin, and the mother and daughter were reunited.

Xin Changzai was an old lady in the harem and had not been promoted for a long time. This time, Yinzhen promoted her to a higher position and made her Xin Guiren.

For the remaining concubine positions, Yinzhen promoted Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan, and An Lingrong respectively.

There are still some vacancies for concubines to be filled. It depends on the performance of the new concubines. Whoever performs better or is more favored by Yinzhen may be promoted.

Among the beautiful ladies who entered the palace this time, some came from high-class families, but most of them came from lower-class families. A few months after they had taken turns to serve the emperor in bed, someone brought the good news.

The baby was born smoothly and after a certain period of pregnancy, Concubine Hua chose a prince to raise, which made up for her regret of not having children.

But what is unexpected is that the emperor seems to be particularly partial to the princess and only teaches her alone. The prince does not have this blessing.

As time passed, the princesses and princes grew up.

Yinzhen picked out a particularly intelligent princess from among the many princesses, raised her by his side personally, and gave her the honor of being the crown prince so that she could inherit the throne in the future.

Naturally, some ministers opposed it. Yinzhen secretly wrote down the names of those who opposed it, and then poisoned them one by one.

After that, there was no one who opposed it.

At the age of sixty, Yinzhen abdicated and became the emperor emeritus. The prince, whom he raised personally, successfully inherited the throne.

Before Yinzhen abdicated, he reformed the imperial examination system so that women could also take it, paving the way for the crown prince. When the crown prince ascended the throne, it would be much easier for her to manage the country.

There were many other reforms that I will not recount one by one, but by the time Yinzhen was dying, the officials in the court were already 50-50 between men and women, and most of the important people in power were women. This would be the beginning of an era of female dominance, but it had nothing to do with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen, also known as Qingran, her soul took a lingering look at the world after her death, then turned and stepped into the next world...

Extra - An Lingrong's Self-Confession

-

I was born in a harmonious family with a kind father and a gentle mother. I thought I would always be happy.

But within two years of the happy days, things began to change.

The change happened when my mother donated an official position to my father.

My mother exhausted all her energy and almost blinded her eyes, and finally donated a small official position to my father, the position of county magistrate.

It's just a small place, but since ancient times, officials have had little contact with the people, and officials seem to change their faces. For example, my father became arrogant after he became the county magistrate. He no longer cared about my mother's well-being, but instead treated her like a servant.

My father said that my mother was a yellow-faced woman and was not worthy of being his first wife. If it weren't for the fact that she could make money by embroidering Suzhou embroidery, he would never have proposed to her.

Unfortunately, my mother's parents died early, and she married my father alone. She worked hard every day to embroider and sell it for money. This is how he repaid my mother.

Since then, I no longer believe that men can be true to themselves. Men's words are deceiving, and only what is in your hands is good.

Unfortunately, my mother has fallen into a quagmire. Even if they can get a divorce, it is difficult for a woman to survive outside. What's more, she has me with her, which makes it even more difficult.

More importantly, she has ruined her body, and it is difficult for her to marry again. Moreover, even if she marries again, it is hard to guarantee that the man is a human or a ghost. Maybe he is also a scumbag who covets my mother's Su embroidery.

So she could only endure the grievances for several years, taking me with her to live with my father, and becoming the "yellow-faced woman" in his mouth.

Not long after he became the county magistrate, my father took in one young and beautiful concubine after another, and they all bullied me and my mother.

Only one concubine, Xiao, was forced in by my father. She was very kind and stood on my mother's side.

But her kindness did not bring her any rewards, instead she was targeted by other concubines.

However, Aunt Xiao did not regret it. She always said that my father would get his retribution and everything would be fine.

...Will it?

When I was still young, looking at the dilapidated walls of the dilapidated courtyard was like looking at my own dilapidated life. I could see the end at a glance and there was no hope at all.

I feel like my life is over.

The turning point came when I grew up a little. Aunt Xiao suddenly told me that she had heard that the daughters of officials could go to the capital for selection after they turned fourteen. As long as they passed the selection, they could become concubines in the harem, and everything would be fine then.

I can also get away from this home and live a happy life.

Aunt Xiao looked forward to the future and encouraged me.

With this belief, I lived well for several more years, but...

At 2 p.m., the emperor was old and had no energy to hold a beauty contest, so I could only hold my ground and continue waiting.

Finally, when I was sixteen, the emperor began to select concubines.

Aunt Xiao said that it was the new emperor, not the old emperor. The new emperor was still in his prime, and I was lucky to be chosen.

.....Can I really be selected?

The me in the bronze mirror looks so ordinary and thin, and it seems that there is nothing about me that is worthy of the emperor's attention.

I started to panic.

However, besides being panic, I couldn't help but feel hope. What if I could really be selected?

Can I use my status to pressure my father and ask him to treat my mother well? Can I save my mother's eyesight?

Everything is unknown.

Start preparing for the draft.

Aunt Xiao took out the money she had saved over the years, as well as the money she had extorted from my father, and took me to the capital.

....There are so many places where you need to spend money. It seems like a lot of money, but a lot of it is spent just on the road.

Once you arrive in the capital, you will have to spend more money. Land is very expensive here, and even if you rent an ordinary inn to stay in temporarily, your money will be spent like water every day.

Even so, I could feel that I was being looked down upon by the store owner.

As a concubine, she doesn't even have the money to rent a small courtyard. Isn't that ridiculous?

Inferiority complex follows you everywhere.

It has been entangled with me ever since I was old enough to understand, and now it is like a poisonous vine, hooked deeply around my throat, making it difficult for me to breathe.

For others, the talent show may mean that if they don’t get selected, the worst that can happen is that they can just go home and marry into a good family.

But I'm different. If I don't get selected, my father will sell me to the old man for money.

I heard that he had negotiated with a local gentry and the price he offered was something he couldn't refuse.

Moreover, after I get married, I will no longer be able to take care of my mother, nor will I be able to repay Aunt Xiao.

I don't want to go back and marry someone as a concubine.

.....Mom, I feel so uncomfortable, I can’t hold on any longer.

Before the draft, I went to worship Buddha.

If there really is a Buddha, can I choose him?

I knelt on the mat and prayed deeply. At this moment, I was more pious than ever.

While I was worshipping Buddha, I saw other women who also came to worship Buddha. They were all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and were surrounded by servants and maids who protected them in three layers.

....I am so envious.

If I had a choice, I don't want to be An Bihuai's legitimate daughter. I would rather be a concubine's daughter of a normal family. Even if I am not favored, the situation may not be worse than being with An Bihuai.

The draft is my only way out.

After coming back from worshiping Buddha, I rested in the inn for a long time.

-

The day of the draft has finally arrived.

Can I be selected?

Please, let me be chosen.

-

The day of the audition is so lively.

In order to save money, I chose to rent an inn far away from the palace. When I hurried there, I found that my throat was so dry that it was smoking.

How can you go to see the emperor in this state?

Fortunately, I found free hot water to drink.

I took the water nervously. I felt that the palace maid in charge of the hot water bag looked at me with contempt. Did she see that I was dressed shabbily?

Or find me alone and ridiculous?

The inferiority complex gnawed at my sanity like a parasite. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I hurriedly grabbed the water cup and shuttled among the glamorous beauties like a headless fly, just wanting to escape from the place that suffocated me as soon as possible.

I'm in trouble.

My restless mentality made me lose my usual caution. I was holding hot water and almost spilled it on a concubine.

I knew I had done something wrong, but because I hadn't communicated with her for a long time, I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I apologized frantically and offered to compensate her.

The concubine refused to give in and kept showing off that what she was wearing was Suzhou embroidery, and I couldn't afford to compensate her.

But...Suzhou embroidery is what I am good at. As long as you give me time, I will definitely be able to accompany you.

However, it seems that it is not something that can be said that a concubine is good at needlework. A concubine should be good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I couldn't say anything and could only continue to apologize, but the concubine still kept holding me.

She asked what position my father held. When she found out that he was just a small county magistrate, she became even more unscrupulous and asked me to kneel down and kowtow to admit my mistake before she would let me go.

The county magistrate who had oppressed my mother for half her life turned out to be just an insignificant ant in the eyes of others.

Just when I was at a loss, a young lady named Zhen Huan helped me, and I am very grateful to her.

But at the same time, I was also jealous of her, jealous that she had her own good sisters while I had nothing.

This dirty mentality makes me even more tormented.

Zhen Huan also gave me a pair of earrings.

Those earrings are more valuable than everything I own combined. No wonder the young lady just now laughed at me for being shabby.

In addition to the earrings, she also picked a begonia and put it on my head.

She's such a nice person.

I shouldn't be jealous of her.

I tried to calm myself down.

Finally it was my turn to go in.

When the eunuch called my name, I could hardly hold back my body from shaking. I needed to use all my mind to control myself in order not to make a fool of myself during the audition.

The emperor is very majestic.

It fits my imagination of the emperor.

I was selected.

The emperor praised my nice name. Although I only partially understood what he meant, I still thanked him respectfully.

Being chosen, I am overwhelmed with great joy.

I feel like the pressure that has been weighing on me for a long time is finally relieved.

When I came out, I couldn't hold back any more and tears started to fall from my eyes.

Crying with joy.

This was the first time I cried not because of sadness, but because of happiness.

I did not disappoint Aunt Xiao's expectations.

I feel that I can repay Aunt Xiao in the future and treat my mother's illness.

At that time, I never thought that my future life would be so smooth.

The emperor actually sent a palace maid to teach me court etiquette and even let me live in such a luxurious mansion.

This is the emperor's favor, and I understand this clearly.

Fangruo said that I was the only one who was blessed.

Your Majesty...why are you so good to me?

Am I really worth it?

Among all the beautiful ladies, my appearance is just average.

Although I don’t know why, I am very happy. I was originally worried that if the tutor aunt came and I could only rent a room for her, would she accept it?

Even if I could accept it, I would probably be laughed to death.

It was the Emperor who rescued me from this embarrassing situation.

After that, life in the mansion made me very happy.

I couldn't help but start to have a good impression of the emperor.

But my mother's previous experience has made me suppress my feelings and not dare to give my true feelings.

I'm afraid that it will all be in vain in the end.

But the emperor really seems different.

I am confused.

When the day came for me to enter the palace, I hadn't even slept with the emperor yet, but the concubine whom I had offended before came to visit me first.

It turns out her name is Xia Dongchun.

One less autumn and the four seasons will be complete.

Her father is really interesting, giving his daughter such a name.

I was thinking a little divergently.

I thought I would continue to be bullied, but I didn't expect Xia Dongchun to ask me to go back to the palace to reason.

It turned out that I had really gone too far that day. If I hadn't been careful, Xia Dongchun would have lost her composure in front of the emperor and fallen into an irretrievable disaster.

It was my fault.

I am sorry.

I finally apologized sincerely.

I thought of Zhen Huan and her good sisters.

I want good sisters too.

So I told Xia Dongchun that I could do Suzhou embroidery.

-

I succeeded.

Through our interactions, I finally had my first good sister in the harem, Xia Dongchun.

-

The emperor is really gentle.

The first time I slept with him, I was so scared that I was shaking like a sieve.

I thought I would be disliked, but unexpectedly the emperor held me gently and comforted me carefully.

I can't hold it any longer, I'm falling, I'm falling in love with the emperor.

Do I really have to betray what I have always known?

On one hand, there is the trauma that my family brought me. The old me huddled in a corner, and it told me not to trust other people's sincerity.

On one hand, there is the emperor's gentle love, which makes me love him uncontrollably.

The turning point was when the emperor asked me to take revenge on An Bihuai.

The emperor said that it is right to take revenge on those who hurt you, even if he is my father.

But An Bihuai did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and he only brought me hurt.

He also allowed the concubines to bully my mother.

An Bihuai deserves to die.

The emperor said, I do whatever I want, and I am right.

Why is the emperor so good?

Why are you so nice to me?

The emperor said I am unique and I am worthy.

It turns out that I am worthy of being loved.

Later, An Bihuai died, his concubines died, and his children died.

I leaned against the emperor and told him what had happened.

The emperor bent down and kissed my forehead, praising me for doing a good job.

The emperor is so nice.

I think I can love him now.
