Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1317: Zhen Mi and Guo Huan

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I brought some news to the queen," said Jiang Chen.

"News?" Baili looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was able to appear silently in the heavily guarded palace, which meant that Jiang Chen's strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, so she did not call for help, because she understood that if she called for help, Jiang Chen might kill her.

"Yes, a piece of news about Feng Lanxi." Jiang Chen said.

"Feng Lanxi?" Baili's face changed slightly.

"Feng Lanxi is Heifengxi, who controls the most powerful intelligence network in the Great East Empire, Yinquanshuixie." Jiang Chen said.

In the play, Yinquan Shuixie is not that powerful. When facing the conspiracy of Baili and Fengju, Yinquan Shuixie always realizes it too late and fails to detect their true identities and plans in time, leading to failures at many critical moments.

But in this second world, the specific situation may be different from that in the drama.

"Why are you telling me this?" Baili asked.

"I heard that the queen wants to make trouble for him, so I don't mind giving the queen a little help. If the queen succeeds in the future, I want her to agree to one condition of mine." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes, as long as I can do it." Baili said.

"Okay, then I'll say goodbye and leave first." Jiang Chen flew away.

"Someone come here." Baili called out.

"Queen." A maid came in.

"You go... forget it." Baili waved her hand and asked the maid to leave. Because she knew that there was no way to investigate the matter about Jiang Chen.

……

Eastern Han Continent, Luoyang City, Beigong.

"Your Majesty, if you don't show up again, the court officials will become suspicious," said Tang Ying.

"The affairs of the courtiers are not important. What's important is, does my queen miss me too?" Jiang Chen asked, holding Tang Ying's hand.

"No, it's not." Tang Ying replied.

"Really not?" Jiang Chen looked at Tang Ying with a smile.

"Of course, Your Majesty, I'd better report on the affairs of the court. Well, Han Shiyi and Wu Shiyi have made rapid progress during this period. The coalition forces of the princes have been defeated and are now chasing them everywhere..." Tang Ying reported on the war.

In addition to Wu Shiyi and Han Shiyi, the war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was also progressing well.

"However, there is not much grain in the treasury now. Although the autumn harvest has begun, the harvested grain is not much. If we cannot solve the food problem, I am afraid we will have to stop military operations in a month." Tang Ying said.

"That's a problem." Jiang Chen frowned.

This problem is difficult to solve for the time being.

Although he has a space ring, the space in the space ring is limited. Now the population of the Eastern Han Continent is so large, and the food needed cannot be transported by the space ring alone.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's easy for us to solve the problems in the Eastern Han continent all at once. It's better for us to stabilize the basic bases such as Luoyang, Guanzhong, Yanzhou, and Jizhou first. When there is enough food next year, we can send troops to other places." Tang Ying said.

"It's the only way. What's more, today is already September 15th, and the weather is getting colder and colder, which is not suitable for sending troops." There is another important problem in the Eastern Han Continent, that is, there are not enough officials. The current officials are all children of aristocratic families, and using them is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution.

"Yeah." Tang Ying said with emotion: "Today is the 15th. Two months have passed in a flash. Time flies so fast."

"It's very fast." Jiang Chen nodded.

"How many sisters has Your Majesty found?" Tang Ying asked.

"No, I just added Helan Mingyu and Rongyin." Jiang Chen did not hide it. As for Xia Yuhe... he hasn't figured out what to do in the future.

"Your Majesty is so awesome." Tang Ying said.

"That's right." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

After all, this is also a manifestation of ability.

Tang Ying glanced at Jiang Chen, sighed in her heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, there were people in the court who wanted you to take a concubine before."

"Really?" Jiang Chen's heart moved.

Although Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Fu Shou were already in the palace, there were still many beauties in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" Tang Ying asked.

"Just listen to the court officials." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Tang Ying.

"The Queen is unwilling?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, no..." Tang Ying quickly denied.

"Okay, I'm just kidding... Those court officials just want to send their daughters over. I won't do that." The daughters from aristocratic families entered the palace only to seek benefits for the aristocratic families. If he wanted to better rule the Eastern Han continent in the future, he would inevitably take action against some of the aristocratic families. Therefore, if the daughters from aristocratic families entered the palace at this time, it would only interfere with his next plan.

"Really?" Tang Ying asked.

"Even if I have to look for it, I will find it myself. After all, my requirements are very high." Jiang Chen said.

Tang Ying thought so too.

Which of the women Jiang Chen is looking for is simple?

"Next, I will issue a lot of decrees, including military farming. Queen, you have to keep an eye on these aspects." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Tang Ying nodded: "However, there are already many rumors about my regent status now."

"Don't take it to heart, we are doing this for our own business." Jiang Chen said.

"Yeah." Tang Ying nodded.

In the Jiang family, there are many queens, and each one is like this.

……

Eastern Han Continent, Luoyang City, Star Caravan Headquarters.

"Qing Yu, what is the current situation of the Star Caravan?" Jiang Chen asked.

Gu Qingyu was the one arranged by Jiang Chen to manage the Star Caravan in the Eastern Han Continent.

"Those doing business with us now are all children of aristocratic families, but those children of aristocratic families have not taken out grain." Gu Qingyu said.

"Then add fuel to the fire." Jiang Chen said.

"Add fuel to the fire? What does that mean?" Gu Qingyu asked.

“Those aristocratic families know how to enjoy life the most, and we only need to sell those things that they enjoy…” Jiang Chen’s purpose was simple, which was to use the deliberate guidance of the Star Caravan to let those aristocratic families enjoy life.

Although the funds of the wealthy and powerful families are plundered from the common people, as long as the management is good, the impact will not be significant.

"If we want to do this, we must make a detailed plan," said Gu Qingyu.

"Well, this cannot be done overnight. At the same time, we also need to support a group of aristocratic families." Jiang Chen's goal is simple, to suppress the big families, isolate the middle families, and win over the small families.

"Jiang Chen, you came at the right time. I need to meet several caravan leaders today. Please come with me." Gu Qingyu said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

After a while, Jiang Chen and Gu Qingyu came to the living room.

What Jiang Chen didn't expect was that when he came to the living room and saw the people in the living room, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received nine intermediate-level nourishing spirit pills. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos. 】

"Nine intermediate-level nourishing spirit pills?"

“This is what I got from signing in for the fifth time.”

"The intermediate spiritual nourishing pill is an auxiliary pill for practicing the Great Evolution Technique after the spirit breaks through to the Lingyuan realm."

"It's a pity there are only nine."

"Ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper?"

"This is the tenth time I signed in to get it."

"In addition, when you are promoted to the Imperial Clan, you will be rewarded with twenty stacks of Intermediate-level Beginning Talisman Paper. When you are promoted to the Celestial Clan, you will be rewarded with fifty stacks of Intermediate-level Beginning Talisman Paper."

"Intermediate primary talisman paper is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate primary talismans. It has the strength of a grandmaster."

"This is good stuff."

"Ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos?"

"This is the twelfth time I've signed in and received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos."

"I got 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as a special reward before. Later, I got 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in from Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi, Qian Anan, Amanda and others. I got 1,000 thousand by being promoted to the Celestial Clan. I didn't expect to get 10 thousand-year-old Poria cocos again by signing in now."

"Due to alchemy and other reasons, I have used up a lot of Ten Thousand Years Poria Cocos during this period. There are only 1,100 plants left in the system space. Now I can sign in and get ten Ten Thousand Years Poria Cocos, which is not bad."

"However, once the Jiang Family Medicine Garden is cultivated, there will be no need to worry about these ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs."

Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Zhen Mi, a character in the 02 version of "Shen Shen of Luo River".

In the play, she is praised as one of the three great beauties of the time, with outstanding appearance and elegant spirit. Zhen Mi was originally married to Yuan Xi, but before the wedding, Xi died in battle. Later, she met Cao Zhi in Yecheng. When Yecheng was occupied by Cao's army, Mi was almost killed by Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was also fascinated by Mi's beauty. Cao Cao treated Zhen's family as a guest of honor because she was a descendant of an old friend, but in fact he coveted Mi's beauty.

Guo Huan, a character in the 02 version of "Shen Shen of Luo River".

In the play, she spent her teenage years in a life of displacement. Her parents and brothers died in the turbulent times. Later, she was taken in by Zhen Mi, and they became close friends and sisters. However, Guo Huan repeatedly harmed her.

Guo Xiao, a character in the 13th version of "New Goddess of Luo River".

In the play, she is called Guo Xiao, also known as Queen. She is Cao Pi's concubine and later his wife. She is sinister and vicious, she framed Zhen Mi and helped Cao Pi do many bad things.

"Zhen Mi, Guo Huan, Guo Xiao..."

"I didn't expect it to be them."

"Zhen Mi..."

In the play, Zhen Mi was originally married to Yuan Xi, but before they got married, Yuan Xi was killed in battle. Later, she met Cao Zhi in Yecheng. In the end, Yecheng was occupied by Cao's army. Zhen Mi was almost killed by Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was also fascinated by her beauty. Cao Cao treated the Zhen family as guests of honor because they were descendants of old friends, but in fact he coveted her beauty. When Cao Cao fled to the bank of Luo River in his early years, Zhen Mi taught him to soak his head in cold water to stop his headaches; so this time, the attack on Yecheng was not only to wipe out the power of the Yuan family, but also to get Zhen Mi. Cao Cao thought that as long as he treated Zhen Mi's family well, she would be grateful and would throw herself into his arms after a long time; but Zhen Mi remained calm in the face of danger and respected him as a "heroic elder", successfully repelling his lust, and later became Cao Cao's confidante.

The father and his two sons were all crazy about him, and she was in a dilemma but followed suit. After thinking again and again, she finally chose the one in her heart - Cao Zhi, who only cared about her health and more than her appearance. Touching the jade-carved and gold-belted pillow given to her by Cao Zhi, she felt warm to the touch. She was secretly in love with him and believed that Cao Zhi, who was a man of both civil and military talents and kind-hearted, was the "Liang Hong" who could stand up to her.

However, things did not go as planned. In the competition for the crown prince, the sentimental Cao Zhi was ultimately defeated by the hypocritical Cao Pi. He lost not only the crown prince position, but also Zhen Mi. Because Cao Cao believed that Zhen Mi's character was most suitable for betrothal to the crown prince, he forcibly separated Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi, who were in love with each other.

Finally, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. He ordered Cao Zhi to write a poem on the theme of "brothers" within seven steps, and the word "brothers" must not appear, otherwise he would be executed. Seeing Cao Zhi's inability to come up with an answer, Zhen Mi recalled that when Cao Zhi proposed to her in his youth, she had improvised a good poem because of her sweet smile. In the palace, she, who was nearly middle-aged, trembled and took the Narcissus handkerchief in her hand, and smiled at Cao Zhi with tears in her eyes. This smile was the most bitter smile in Zhen Mi's life. This smile pushed her to the end, but this smile called back Cao Zhi's infinite talent. He recited in a plaintive and tearful manner, "When boiling beans, the bean pods are burned, and the beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root, why are we so anxious to hurt each other?" The poem was written in seven steps, with unparalleled literary talent, deep feelings, and bitterness beyond words. Those who heard it sighed, and those who listened to it covered their tears. Cao Pi recalled the past "brotherly friendship and respect" and was moved with sympathy and tears on his face.

Although her smile saved Cao Zhi, it became her own death warrant. When she faced the poisoned wine sent by Cao Pi, she accepted it calmly. The beauty's tears broke people's hearts. Zhen Mi took a deep look at Cao Zhi for the last time, and died in Cao Pi's arms with infinite sorrow...

"Zhen Mi and Yi Xiu were played by the same actor in the previous life."

"This version of Zhen Mi is the best."

"As for Guo Huan..."

The greatest luck of Guo Sheng in the play was that she met the beautiful and kind Zhen Mi when she was begging. Zhen Mi took Guo Huan home, fed her and clothed her, and looked at her differently because she was a little knowledgeable in literature, and made her her confidant maid. In troubled times, Cao Cao's army captured Yecheng. The beautiful and intelligent Zhen Mi was favored by Cao Cao because she had met Cao Cao once before, so Cao Cao asked Zhen Mi's family to move into his Sikong Mansion. Guo Huan has always been by Zhen Mi's side. She saw the helplessness of Zhen Mi under the eaves, so she cared more about her. The two comforted each other and their hearts became closer and closer.

At this time, Guo Huan was still a pure and innocent girl. She was really devoted to Zhen Mi and was willing to repay Zhen Mi's kindness with her life. So when Cao Cao's wife, Lady Bian, deliberately made things difficult for Zhen Mi and wanted to beat her to death, Guo Huan threw herself on Zhen Mi without hesitation, enduring the great pain of the caning to protect Zhen Mi until she was beaten to death.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's concubine Ru Furen arrived in time to save the two. Zhen Mi was grateful for Guo Huan's kindness to her. Looking at Guo Huan, who was pale on the hospital bed, Zhen Mi was moved and distressed, and immediately decided to become sworn sisters with Guo Huan. Guo Huan was flattered. She knew that in terms of status, she was absolutely not worthy of being Zhen Mi's sister. Zhen Mi's behavior surprised and delighted her.

Guo Huan then transformed herself into Zhen Mi's sister. With her new clothes and hair accessories, Guo Huan looked even more beautiful, as stunning as a lotus emerging from the water. However, standing next to Zhen Mi, Guo Huan looked a little less attractive. Zhen Mi's beauty was well-known throughout the world, and her talent was even more praised by everyone. Many men admired her, and in the Sikong Mansion, there were Cao Cao and his sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

The father and his two sons all fell in love with Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi had always respected Cao Cao as a father, so she told him the truth and stopped Cao Cao's extravagant thoughts. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi did not give in to each other and both admired Zhen Mi, especially the third son Cao Zhi, who was famous for his literary talent, unrestrained and elegant, and often came up with some strange ideas to make Zhen Mi happy.

Cao Zhi was also very concerned about the people around Zhen Mi. When he saw the scar on Guo Huan's hand from blocking the stick for Zhen Mi last time, the attentive Cao Zhi even gave her an Indian bracelet to cover the scar. Cao Zhi had good intentions, but Guo Huan misunderstood and secretly fell in love with him.

At this time, the second son Cao Zhang was pursuing Guo Huan, but Guo Huan looked down on Cao Zhang, who was only good at wielding swords and guns, and instead fell in love with the gentle Cao Zhi. Therefore, she deliberately acted pretentiously in front of Cao Zhang, causing Cao Zhang to lose his favor for her. Guo Huan threw aside her shyness as a woman, and took the initiative to run to Cao Zhi without telling Zhen Mi, and proposed to him that she and Zhen Mi could imitate Ehuang and Nvying and serve Cao Zhi together.

Guo Huan did not expect Cao Zhi to be so furious about this proposal. Not only did he scold her with a cold face, but he also vowed that he only loved Zhen Mi in his life.

Guo Huan rushed out of the room with tears in her eyes. Back in her room, she smashed things to vent her anger, and even hit Zhen Mi's close maid Youchan. Guo Huan only thought that she was crying because of Cao Zhi, and she did not notice that jealousy and resentment had quietly taken root in her heart.

From that day on, Guo Huan began to be jealous of Zhen Mi.

In order to gain a better foothold, she tried to show her goodwill to Cao Pi and Cao Zhang. Cao Zhi's rejection was the beginning of Guo Huan's dark transformation. In order to consolidate her position, she did everything she could, even colluding with Sima Yi, and spreading rumors among the people that there was an ambiguous relationship between Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi, and slandering Cao Rui as not being Cao Pi's son at all. The rumors were so unbearable that Cao Pi was furious and even wanted to kill Cao Rui and Zhen Mi.

In the end, Guo Huan succeeded in her evil plan. In order to quell the killing between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and to prove her and Cao Rui's innocence, Zhen Mi drank the poisoned wine without hesitation and exchanged her life for Cao Pi's regret. Looking at Zhen Mi's body lying quietly, Guo Huan felt extremely comfortable. She mocked Zhen Mi wantonly and said that she would stuff her mouth with rice bran and cover her cheeks with her hair when Zhen Mi was buried, so that she would have no place to appeal and no face to see people.

Queen Guo finally became the empress. After Cao Pi passed away, she supported Cao Rui to become the emperor, and she herself was the supreme empress dowager. However, as she aged, Queen Guo became ill and suffered from pain every day. Cao Rui still knew the truth about the death of his mother Zhen Mi. He rejected Queen Guo's wish for euthanasia and asked the imperial physician to prolong her life as much as possible, so that she lived in pain every day.

Cao Rui also assured Queen Guo that if she died of illness, she would be treated like Zhen Mi, with her hair covered and her mouth stuffed with rice bran. Queen Guo's eyes were filled with endless pain and despair, but she had no choice.

"Guo Xiao..."

"Although she is from a prominent family in the drama, she ends up being reduced to a singing girl with deep scheming."

In the play, Guo Huan was born into a prominent family and possessed outstanding talent and beauty, but her marriage and life were full of misfortune. She was forced to marry a man who did not love her, and this man also hated her and tortured her in every way.

In the play, Guo Xiao has experienced many hardships and pains, but she always sticks to her beliefs and dignity. She is unwilling to succumb to the arrangement of fate, nor is she willing to give up her pursuit and ideals. She struggles and fights hard, hoping to change her destiny.

However, Guo Xiao's ending was tragic. Her husband not only did not cherish her efforts and sacrifices, but treated her even more cruelly. In an accident, Guo Xiao lost her life, ending her short and tragic life.

"Now Guo Huan, Guo Xiao... are both with Zhen Mi."

"And he's only in his teens."

"It seems that because the world of film and television merged, some of the plots have also changed."

The plot involving Zhen Mi and others flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind.

At the same time, Jiang Chen also thought of Guo Zhao.

Guo Zhao from "The Advisors Alliance" and "The Advisors Alliance" is now in the North Palace of Luoyang.

"Hello, Mrs. Jiang." Zhen Yan bowed to Gu Qingyu.

"Master Zhen, there is no need to be so polite." Gu Qingyu returned the greeting and introduced: "Master Zhen, this is my husband, Jiang Chen, the master of the Jiang family. Husband, this is Zhen Yan, the master of the Zhen family in Jizhou."

"Master Zhen." Jiang Chen bowed.

Zhen Yan is a character in "The Goddess of Luo River".

"Master Jiang." Zhen Yan is the master of the Zhen family, a famous wealthy family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As the master of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the Zhen family. The reason why he came to Luoyang City this time was because the court occupied Jizhou, and the goods of the Xingchen Caravan were very popular, and the Jiang family had a relationship with the emperor, so he came from afar.

After a brief greeting, Jiang Chen and Zhen Yan started chatting.

Now Zhen Mi is a woman dressed as a man.

Guo Huan and others were dressed as maids.

However, since Zhen Yan did not introduce it, Jiang Chen could only pretend that he didn't know.

Zhen Yan is only in his twenties this year. Although he is the head of the Zhen family, he is much younger than Jiang Chen. He asked a lot of questions in a few words from Jiang Chen.

Zhen Yan came here this time to cooperate with the Star Caravan.

Jiang Chen naturally welcomed this.

After all, as a wealthy merchant in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhen family's sales channels are not comparable to those of the current Jiang family. The increase in sales channels cannot be solved by force.

For half an hour, Jiang Chen and Zhen Yan had a detailed conversation on the cooperation between the Star Caravan and the Zhen family.

"Master Jiang, I'll take my leave first." Zhen Yan said.

"Okay, I'll wait for good news from Master Zhen." Jiang Chen said.

After a while, Jiang Chen saw Zhen Yan and his group off.

After returning to the living room with Jiang Chen, Gu Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Chen, is this Zhen Yan the Zhen family where Zhen Mi lived in history?"

"Zhen Mi, didn't you see it just now?" Jiang Chen said.

"Just now? The one next to Zhen Yan? A woman dressed as a man?" Gu Qingyu was stunned when he heard that.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"That person just now had a pretty face. I didn't expect it was Zhen Mi. As expected of my CEO Jiang, he could tell at a glance." Gu Qingyu looked at Jiang Chen: "I wonder what you think?"

"What idea? What idea can I have?" Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

"Diao Chan, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are all in the palace, don't you have any thoughts?" As more and more women were brought into the Jiang family by Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen's little thoughts became increasingly difficult to conceal.

"I have no idea now." Jiang Chen said.

"You don't have any ideas now? You will have them in the future." Gu Qingyu snorted.

"Are you jealous?" Jiang Chen said, holding Gu Qingyu's hand.

"How is that possible? If you're jealous of even this, how can you handle it?" Gu Qingyu was speaking from the heart. After all, it was completely unnecessary to be jealous of the Jiang family. After being deceived by Jiang Chen, she had to either leave the Jiang family or accept everything about Jiang Chen.

But can she leave the Jiang family?

It's obviously impossible.

"Really?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"Is this true? But you should also restrain yourself a little." Gu Qingyu couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, I will never get tired of the old and love the new." Jiang Chen said.

Shu Wanting and Tang Ying are actually more than 20 years apart in age.

Shu Wanting's service is completely different from Tang Ying's service.

"Then you have to perform well today." Gu Qingyu said.

"right now we……"

"I have something else to do now." Gu Qingyu interrupted Jiang Chen and said, "I want to talk about Huanyu Bank."

"Huanyu Bank? Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen asked.

"However, some aristocratic families have set their sights on Universal Bank." Gu Qingyu said.

"Do they want to get a piece of the pie?" Jiang Chen understood what Gu Qingyu meant.

"Correct."

"They are wishful thinking. Qingyu, don't worry, just do it boldly." Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Jiang Chen will never allow anyone to take action against Huanyu Bank.

"Okay." Gu Qingyu nodded.

"Let's go back to the palace." Jiang Chen said.

"Go back to the palace?" Gu Qingyu was slightly stunned.

"Do you want to be alone?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Let's go back to the palace." Gu Qingyu reacted and said quickly.

How can one person stand Jiang Chen?

……

White Feather Island.

"Is this breeding base finally fully planted?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at the Baiyu Island breeding base.

The Baiyu Island Breeding Base was transformed by Jiang Chen using fifty intermediate-level lower-grade spiritual fields and fifty intermediate-level spiritual fish pond transformation drawings. It consists of 5,000 acres of lower-grade spiritual rice and 5,000 acres of spiritual fish ponds. Because the time flow rate of the second world is the same as that of the first world, with the lower-grade spiritual rice and spiritual fish produced by the Baiyu Island Breeding Base, they can use them all by themselves in a short time.

"Yes. The lower-grade spiritual fields have all been planted, and the spiritual fish pond has raised many kinds of fish, including sea fish. In addition, I have arranged 500 people to manage the breeding base. Although these people were plundered from the Daliang Continent, they are honest and have no problem managing the breeding base." Song Xue said.

"That's good."

Jiang Chen walked around the breeding base and said, "Song Xue, the people in charge of the breeding base must be treated well. Their children will all receive free education."

The education that Jiang Chen was talking about was the academy established by the Jiang family on Baiyu Island.

Baiyu Island now has a population of over 200,000 people, including several thousand children. The Jiang family has provided these children with high-quality education according to their different age groups.

"I understand. By the way, Jiang Chen, are you really not planning to build a city on Baiyu Island?" Song Xue nodded.

"What do you think of a city like Jiangzhou City in the fourth world?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Song Xue nodded.

"A city like this can accommodate a million people, and it's not suitable in Baiyu Island." Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "We'll find a suitable place later."

"Okay." Song Xue nodded.

"Now the Jiang Mansion on Baiyu Island has begun to expand. Once it is built, although it will not be as good as Jiangzhou City, it will be enough for us to transition in a short period of time." As early as the beginning of August, Jiang Chen used four Prince Chun's Mansion building cards to expand the Jiang Mansion on Baiyu Island.

As long as I come to the second world next time, the Jiang Mansion on Baiyu Island will be as big as five Prince Chun’s Mansions, and it will be enough to accommodate so many people in the Jiang family.

"Ah."

"Xiaoxue, how have you been these days?" Jiang Chen asked.

"If it weren't for the practice, I might have been very bored." Song Xue said.

"You can go to other places to have a look. Each place has different customs and cultures." Jiang Chen said.

"I'd better practice. After all, strength is the most important thing." Song Xue said.

The promotion of Jiang family wives is related to strength. Now Jiang Chen has more and more wives, and the competition is great. Although Song Xue didn't think about competing for the first place, she didn't want to fall behind too much.

As for whether Jiang Chen is looking for women somewhere else, it is not something she can control now.

After all, Jiang Chen’s situation was something she couldn’t control.

"Okay." Jiang Chen took Song Xue and talked while walking.

……

Baiyu Island, Jiang Mansion.

"Mingyu, come, put it on." Jiang Chen took out a top-grade glass jade bracelet and handed it to Helan Mingyu.

"Thank you, husband." Helan Mingyu was delighted.

This top-grade glass jade bracelet is a symbol of status.

Jiang Chen hadn't contacted her these past few days, and she thought Jiang Chen would not authenticate.

"Come, let's get certified." Jiang Chen said.

He was certified by the Saint Clan and given the body of a young envoy.

Helan Mingyu became the 188th member of the Jiang family.

"Mingyu, these are your cultivation resources." Jiang Chen took out the prepared cultivation resources and handed them to Helan Mingyu, then put away the space bag that Helan Mingyu had used before.

"Thank you, husband." Helan Mingyu put away the cultivation resources: "Husband, I wonder if I can go home to visit?"

"Do you want to meet your parents?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yeah." Helan Mingyu nodded.

"There is still more than a month before we leave the second world. Can you come back in time?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Okay, but can my sister..." Helan Mingyu nodded.

"Okay, Helan Wanyin can go too." Jiang Chen said.

"Thank you, my husband." Helan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank me? Then serve me well today." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Helan Mingyu responded and undressed Jiang Chen.

……

"Wan Yin."

Jiang Chen saw Helan Wanyin and walked over.

"Young Master." Helan Wanyin bowed.

"Mingyu told me that you should go back and take a look." Jiang Chen said, holding Helan Wanyin's hand.

"Yes, sir, we will definitely come back." Helan Wanyin said.

"I'll be waiting for you. However, you can't talk about our Jiang family's affairs." Jiang Chen said.

"Master, don't worry." Helan Wanyin is now also a master warrior. In the past, she would not dare to think about this. However, it is precisely because of the improvement of her strength that she is unwilling to give up her life in the Jiang family.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen put his arm around Helan Wanyin's waist and spoke sweet words to her.

Although Helan Wanyin and Helan Mingyu are different.

But Jiang Chen is also interested in Helan Wanyin.

……

Wei Yun's room.

"Do you still want it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, it will be troublesome if Doudou and Pianpian come later." Wei Yun said.

"It's discovered, it's no big deal." Jiang Chen said.

"No..." Wei Yun didn't want others to find out what was going on between her and Jiang Chen, especially Zhan Doudou and Zhan Pianpian. If they found out, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

"You really want to be like Ning Zhongze." Jiang Chen said while interacting with Wei Yun.

"Isn't this good? Aren't you very excited, sir?" Wei Yun said.

"Hehe." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Young Master, are you with Qin Yun, Li Qingluo and the others?" Wei Yun asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Young Master, you haven't succeeded yet?" Wei Yun reacted.

"..." Jiang Chen.

What truth is Wei Yun telling?

"Sir, do you want me to help you?" Wei Yun asked.

"Help me? Why?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Why would I help the young master?" In the Jiang family, Wei Yun, Ning Zhongze, Qin Yun, and Li Qingluo have the best relationship because they are of similar age. Now that Ning Zhongze and she are already related to Jiang Chen, they also want to bring Qin Yun and the others into the group.

Only in this way can the possibility of her and Jiang Chen's affair being discovered be reduced.

"Aren't you afraid that I will have more and more women and eventually forget you?" Jiang Chen didn't know what Wei Yun was thinking, but he didn't think much about it.

"Don't be afraid, because you are not such a person." For Wei Yun, she only cared about what she had in the past. Moreover, she also understood that she could not be compared with Shi Yi and others. Being able to stay with Jiang Chen was enough.

"Why?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I won't tell you. Sir, you can leave now. I want to rest." Wei Yun said.

"Are you trying to chase me away?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I'm doing this for your own good. After all, there are many people waiting for you on Baiyu Island," said Wei Yun.

"Then next time I think..." Jiang Chen said in Wei Yun's ear.

Wei Yun rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and said, "We'll talk about it next time."

Jiang Chen smiled and kissed Wei Yun before leaving.

……

Daliang Continent, the capital of Daliang Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.

"What makes you so happy today?"

Jiang Chen saw Zheng Shujun and Sun Youzhen chatting and laughing and walked over.

"Your Majesty."

Zheng Shujun and Sun Youzhen bowed.

"Get up."

Jiang Chen walked over and sat down.

"Your Majesty, King Guangding has invited a troupe of opera performers today, and we can go watch the show later," said Zheng Shujun.

"King Guangding?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then he remembered that King Guangding Pang Yu was Pang Tong, Pang Zhen's younger brother, actually his cousin.

"Yes." Sun Youzhen said, "I heard that this troupe is very famous."

"Really? Then let's take a look together. By the way, did you call the princess?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Zheng Shujun said.

"Then let's go and take a look." Jiang Chen said.

After a while, Jiang Chen and others came to another palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." King Guangding Pang Yu bowed.

"Get up." This was the second time Jiang Chen saw Pang Yu.

The first time I met Pang Yu was at the Princess Pang Zhen’s Mansion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pang Yu stood up.

"Prince Guangding, I heard that it was you who invited the Hundred Plays Troupe?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this Hundred Plays Troupe is very famous among the people..." Pang Yu introduced.

"is it?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Then let me see if this Hundred Plays Troupe lives up to its name."

"I will definitely not let Your Majesty down." Pang Yu said.

After Jiang Chen sat down, he asked the Hundred Plays Troupe to start the performance.

Soon, the performance of the Hundred Plays Troupe began.

I have to say that the performance of this troupe was quite good, and Jiang Chen also watched it with great interest.

Until a figure came onto the stage.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained a first-level lower-grade spiritual vein. ]

"A first-level low-grade spiritual vein?"

"This is the twentieth time I've signed in and obtained a first-grade lower-grade spiritual vein."

"Previously, fifteen first-grade inferior spirit veins were placed in Daming Palace, fifteen were placed in Mulan Hunting Ground, and the remaining four are now placed in Jiangzhou City in the fourth world. I didn't expect to sign in and get another inferior spirit vein."

Jiang Chen looked at the heroine.

Ye Ningzhi, a character in "Feng Yi".

In the play, she is a commoner, originally an artist in a folk troupe, simple and kind, and later entered the palace. She is smart and kind, resourceful and courageous. She cares about her country and has a strong sense of justice. Although she is caught in court disputes, she always maintains her original intention and has her own persistence. She was punished for being used by the eldest princess, but fell in love with Wei Guang after being saved and helped by the counselor. Later, in order to avoid Lang Kun's pursuit, she mistakenly entered the Lihua Academy and entered the palace to become a maid.

"Ye Ningzhi, I didn't expect to see her here."

"According to the timeline, there are still three years before the plot begins. I didn't expect Ye Ningzhi to show up early."

Ye Ningzhi in the play grew up among the common people. She grew up in a warm environment and did not understand the sinister nature of human nature. During a performance, when she encountered danger, it was the strategist Wei Guang who saved her life. The two hit it off at first sight. Ningzhi's experiences from childhood to adulthood were very simple, but Wei Guang was a member of the royal family. His family was wiped out when he was young. Fortunately, he was protected by the queen dowager and escaped the disaster. Wei Guang, who grew up in such an environment, was naturally resourceful and scheming. The two have been in contact since then. Later, the Hundred Plays Troupe was going to enter the palace to perform for the empress dowager's birthday banquet. In fact, this was a conspiracy of the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess was a girl, she had always been eyeing the throne. She was cruel and ruthless and would do anything to achieve her goals. Ningzhi was framed by the eldest princess and was rescued by Wei Guang. Ye Ningzhi had already secretly fallen in love with Wei Guang, but Wei Guang still had his own grand ambitions to accomplish, so he and Ye Ningzhi said goodbye.

Three years passed like this, and Ye Ningzhi had always been thinking about Wei Guang. She knew that Wei Guang was a member of the royal family, so she entered the palace and became a maid, perhaps in this way she could find Wei Guang as soon as possible. When Ye Ningzhi first entered the palace, she encountered many difficulties in the palace, but they were all resolved by the clever and resourceful Ningzhi. Therefore, she was also appreciated by the queen, and Ye Ningzhi also assisted the queen wholeheartedly. During this period, Ye Ningzhi and Wei Guang reunited, and the two were just like when they first met, and they were even more in love. The palace seemed calm, but in fact it was turbulent. Ye Ningzhi and Wei Guang relied on their clever minds to resolve crises for the queen time and time again, and the harem was temporarily calm. However, the previous dynasty had always had a powerful enemy, the eldest princess, who had always wanted to win over Wei Guang. Wei Guang was deeply appreciated by the emperor and led his troops to the battlefield, which also fulfilled Wei Guang's childhood dream of making achievements.

After Wei Guang left, Ye Ningzhi was schemed by Ban Ling'er. In order to cover up her crime of murder, she took the blame for it. In order to survive, she had to pretend to agree to be made a concubine.

Ye Ningzhi and the emperor planned to fake her death and leave the palace every day, but she didn't expect that Wei Guang was in deep crisis and needed the emperor to lead the army to save him. In order to save her beloved, Ye Ningzhi had to agree to the emperor's request to become a concubine and stay with him forever. Afterwards, Ye Ningzhi pretended to change her heart to Wei Guang, just to cover up the truth that the emperor was unwilling to go to war for a famous general and was only willing to take risks for a woman.

After Ye Ningzhi became a noble concubine, she put aside her love affairs and devoted herself to helping the emperor resolve the Princess's Rebellion and the war crisis. However, when the Princess's Rebellion and the war were completely over, the emperor died suddenly. Ye Ningzhi had to take on the responsibility alone, assist the young emperor, and was named the empress dowager.

Because the previous emperor transferred the imperial guards and ignored the people of the capital, he was cursed by the people. In order to ensure the stability of the young emperor's throne, Ye Ningzhi took this eternal crime and banished herself to the cold palace to save the young emperor's face. Ten years later, the young emperor came of age, and Ye Ningzhi was finally able to retire and return to ordinary life. Among the green mountains and clear waters, she was surprised to find that Wei Guang, who died on the battlefield, was still alive, and the two finally got together.

"Ye Ningzhi is only about sixteen or seventeen years old now."

"I don't know if he met Wei Guang."

"However, Wei Guang must die."

A hint of murderous intent flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

Wei Guang's family died because of Pang Zhen. In order to protect Pang Zhen, Wei Guang had to die.

However, Wei Guang held a high position in the court after all, and he could not be killed just because he wanted to.

It's best to die on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, this is Ye Ningzhi..." Pang Yu introduced from the side.

"Prince Guangding is thoughtful." Jiang Chen looked at Ye Ningzhi and said, "The acting of this Hundred Plays Troupe is pretty good."

"If Your Majesty likes, you can keep the Hundred Plays Troupe in the palace," said Pang Yu.

"Stay in the palace? That's not necessary." Jiang Chen said.

"His Majesty……"

"Prince Guangding, just watch the show now." Jiang Chen interrupted Pang Yu.

"Yes." Pang Yu glanced at Pang Zhen.

Pang Zhen shook his head.

An hour later, the performance of the Hundred Plays Troupe ended.

"Good, reward." Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shujun called the palace maid and gave her an order.

The palace maid hurried to arrange the rewards.

A moment later, Jiang Chen, Zheng Shujun, Sun Youzhen and Pang Zhen came to Zheng Shujun's palace.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Prince Guangding asked the Hundred Plays Troupe to come this time is related to our actions in Kyoto this time." Pang Zhen said.

"Did those people look for Pang Yu?" Jiang Chen asked.

During this month, Jiang Chen, in the name of Pang Tong, took action against the officialdom in Kyoto, resulting in the fall of many high-ranking officials.

Jiang Chen understood that this action violated the interests of many people, so it was normal for those people to surround Pang Yu.

"Yes." Pang Zhen nodded.

"Pang Zhen, next you still need to be nice to Pang Yu." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Pang Zhen nodded.

"Your Majesty wants to use Pang Yu?" Zheng Shujun asked.

"Yes, Pang Yu is the nephew of the late emperor, but he is ambitious and can be used as a talent. What's more, the conflicts in Kyoto also need to be diverted, and Pang Yu is the most suitable candidate." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then what else do we need to do?" Pang Zhen asked.

"Let's sort out the situation in Kyoto first. There's no rush for other aspects." Jiang Chen said.

"The situation in various parts of the Daliang Dynasty is not very good now, and there are many wars in the north..." Zheng Shujun said.

"The local gentry are not on the same page with us. Even if there are good policies, they will change in their hands. Therefore, it is useless to be anxious at this time. The most important thing now is to train our people."

Jiang Chen said: "In addition, now that Helan Mingyu and the others have returned to Yonglin, maybe Yonglin and the Daliang Dynasty can unite, and then the situation in the Daliang Dynasty will change."

"Have Helan Mingyu and the others gone back?" Zheng Shujun and the others naturally knew the situation of Helan Mingyu and the others.

"Well, now Helan Mingyu has been certified." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Zheng Shujun and others.

Is Jiang Chen... sleeping... conquering the world?

"Your Majesty, if you want to use Pang Yu, I think you should keep the Hundred Plays Troupe in the palace," Pang Zhen said.

"Why?" Jiang Chen glanced at Pang Zhen and said, "Is there someone from Pang Yu in the Hundred Plays Troupe?"

"Correct."

Pang Zhen nodded and said, "If Your Majesty refuses, Pang Yu will definitely find another way. He might even use the Queen Mother. I'm afraid by then..." Pang Zhen didn't finish the rest, but the meaning was very clear.

"Then stay in the palace. I want to see what Pang Yu is up to." Jiang Chen thought so too.

Instead of letting Pang Yu think of other ways to deal with him, it is better to go with the flow and take advantage of him.

"Your Majesty, didn't you refuse just now?" Zheng Shujun said.

"This is not difficult, just let Youzhen do it." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to find an excuse to keep the Hundred Plays Troupe in the palace?" Sun Youzhen understood.

"Yes, as long as you propose to keep the Hundred Plays Troupe in the palace, Pang Yu will arrange everything. Maybe there will be other gains." Sun Youzhen has a special identity, and Pang Yu is ambitious. He will definitely find a way to establish a good relationship with Sun Youzhen.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Sun Youzhen said.

……

Anwu continent, Wu country, Wu city, Jiang Mansion.

"What's the news from Wu Kingdom now?" Jiang Chen asked Li Yunrui.

"Nothing major has happened in Wu Kingdom during this period. In addition, Yang Ying has already arrived in An Kingdom..." Li Yunrui recounted what happened in Wu Kingdom during this period, and then said, "However, according to the news from Ren Ruyi, Beipan is ready to move and is likely to send troops south..."
