Comprehensive film and television: Female supporting role counterattack plan

"Master, Lingzhu asked me to tell you not to do unnecessary things and not to deliberately hinder the noble lady Hai."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu took a closer look at this usually gloomy disciple and nodded.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Jinzhong seemed different today than usual.

———————Yongshou Palace———————

Zimu had been reading a book for a long time. Just as he put the book down, he saw Hongli, who was sneaking around the door.

"The Emperor is here."

"Oh, I've been discovered. What book are you reading?"

Hongli walked happily to Zimu and sat down next to him, looking at the snacks on Zimu's table and finding them really novel.

After pinching a piece and putting it in his mouth, he praised it highly: "Your snacks are still delicious."

"This is made by me, Your Majesty. Do you really think it tastes good?"

After Zimu finished speaking, he looked at Hongli with a smile.

Although Hongli felt frightened by Zimu's gaze, he still decided to tell the truth.

"It's natural. It tastes best because you make it yourself."

After saying this, he was still worried that his words were not convincing enough, so he pinched two more pieces of dessert and put them in his mouth.

"Really? But I heard that the emperor's favorite snack is... the white jade frost square cake that Concubine Xian made herself."

“Heh… cough cough…”

Hongli now understood why he felt goosebumps all over when Zimu looked at him with a smile just now.

No good person can tolerate such a statement coming out of the blue.

Zimu stood up and gently helped Hongli breathe, and even took the time to give Li Yu and Jinzhong a proud look.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea first." Li Yu quickly handed the tea on the table to Hongli.

Hongli took a sip of the extremely sour tea and almost vomited it out. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it into his stomach.

"Is your Majesty drinking?"

"It's OK... but too sour. Is that lemon?"

Zimu smiled with his eyes curved when he saw Hongli's frustrated look.

"Fragrant lemon is sour to begin with, but drinking more is good for your health. I wanted to add some honey, but I heard from the imperial physician that although honey is sweet, eating too much is bad for your teeth. Your Majesty won't blame me, right?"

Seeing that Zimu was finally happy, Hongli could only shake his head helplessly and said, "How can I blame you? It's just that I'm used to eating sweets on a daily basis, so I'm a little uncomfortable. It's all my problem."

"I hope Your Majesty doesn't blame me."

"You haven't told me what book you were reading just now."

"Oh, the Yuan Dynasty drama on the wall."

“……”Hongli is really confused now. Who told Zimu all this?

Why are tongues so long?

How should he explain this?

Hongli shifted his attention to Li Yu.

Li Yu took out an exquisite box, opened it halfway and placed it in front of Zimu, trying to change the subject for his master.

"My Lord, look, this is a new hairpin made by the Imperial Household Department. The Emperor took one look at it and left it for you."

Zi Mu picked up the box and took a closer look, and couldn't help but sigh: "This hairpin is really exquisite, but it's a phoenix-head hairpin that's beyond the rules and I can't wear it."

Seeing that Zimu really liked it, Hongli stood up and put the golden phoenix hairpin on Zimu's head with his own hands.

After the deed, he sincerely praised her: "You look good in this. In my heart, you are also my wife, and you deserve all the beautiful things in this world."

Zi Mu blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty knows how to make me happy."

Hongli held Zimu's hand and said solemnly: "I am speaking from the heart. I cannot promise that we will be together forever, but if I can, I hope that person is you."

Zimu leaned in Hongli's arms and smiled.

After Hongli accompanied Zimu for lunch and took a short rest, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to continue reviewing memorials.

Zimu said to Chunchan behind Hongli, "Put the hairpin back into the box and lock it up. Don't take it out again."

Chunchan took the hairpin from Zimu and asked in confusion, "Isn't this a gift from the Emperor? You don't have to lock it up even if you don't wear it."

"You stupid girl, you only eat and grow in size, but your brain doesn't grow at all."

"Hey? Lan Cui, why are you hitting me? Suo Xin, look at Lan Cui hitting me."

"You deserve it. This is a phoenix hairpin, not a hairpin. Even if it is a hairpin, our master cannot wear it given his status."

"Oh, okay." Chunchan obediently locked the phoenix hairpin.

————The next day, Yanxi Palace——————

"What did you say? The emperor wants to renovate Jingren Palace?"

Hai Lan exclaimed after hearing Ye Xin's words.

"I spent ten taels of silver to ask the people in front of the emperor, and it was indeed the emperor who asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the Jingren Palace as soon as possible."

"Does the Emperor want my sister to live in Jingren Palace?"

"should be."

Hai Lan still didn't believe it: "Ye Xin, which one of the imperial court are you asking about?"

"Eunuch Jinbao in front of the emperor, if Eunuch Jinbao hadn't said it himself, I wouldn't have believed it."

"Your Majesty clearly knows the bedroom of my sister and aunt in Jingren Palace. Have you found out why Your Majesty is thinking of Jingren Palace?"

"Yesterday was the first day of the lunar year, and the Emperor rested in the Empress' Changchun Palace. I'm afraid all the six palaces know about the Emperor's oral instructions now."

"I knew the Queen was not as she appeared to be."

Hai Lan took a deep breath and continued, "The Queen has always disliked my sister, and she will not forget to make things difficult for her this time."

"Ye Xin, come with me to the Yangxin Palace."

"Master?"

"I want to ask the emperor in person if he still remembers his childhood sweetheart relationship with my sister."

……

"I pay my respects to you, my Lord."

"Eunuch Li, is the emperor busy? I want to see the emperor, is that ok?"

Li Yu looked around the Yangxin Palace and recalled what Jinzhong had said to him: "I will go and report first, Your Excellency, please wait a moment."

Hai Lan didn't have to wait long before she saw Li Yu.

"Your Excellency, the Emperor invites you in."

Hai Lan looked at Hongli who was lowering his head to review memorials. He did not look up after she came in.

"Concubine, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Well, I heard from Li Yu that you have something to ask me?"

"I want to know which palace Concubine Xian will live in after she comes out of the cold palace?"

Jingren Palace

"But Jingren Palace was previously occupied by my sister and aunt, the Queen of Jingren Palace."

"Qingying always stayed in Jingren Palace when she stayed in the palace. I miss that time very much."

Hongli lowered his head and was busy with his own things, blurting out words of nostalgia without even raising his head.

Hai Lan, who originally wanted to question Hongli, was choked and speechless.

"I know that I have a deep relationship with Qingying. I think she will be happy to have you accompany her in Jingren Palace."

Hai Lan, who was originally feeling uncomfortable, no longer minded Jingren Palace when she heard that Hongli wanted her to live with her sister.

"If you knew that the emperor was thinking of you and remembered the friendship you once had with him, you would definitely be happy."

"When you are free, go and watch the renovation of Jingren Palace. You should know best what Qingying likes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

"Ah."

Only after Hai Lan left did Hongli raise his head and feel good.

Jingren Palace and Yongshou Palace are located in the east and west respectively, so Zi Mu would not be able to see the sisters Qingying and Hailan on ordinary days.

Out of sight, out of mind. By then, Zi Mu won’t find ways to torment me anymore.
