Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1472 "Spring Blossoms and Flames" - Princess Gu
"The envoy from Xiyan has arrived?" Jiang Chen stopped and looked at Ren Ruyi.

“Yes,” Ren Ruyi replied.

"You two should go back first," Jiang Chen said to Cao Danshu and Cao Ru.

"Yes." Cao Danshu and Cao Ru bowed, then turned and left.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk on the way,” Jiang Chen said to Ren Ruyi.

"Yes," Ren Ruyi replied.

After the previous battle with Xiyan, Qin began negotiations with Xiyan.

Jiang Chen then ordered Xi Yan to send the princess over.

The envoy from Xiyan came to Bianjing this time to escort the princess.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Ren Ruyi arrived at a grand hall.

"Go and summon the envoy from Xiyan," Jiang Chen said to a eunuch beside him.

The Qin Empire's imperial palace was not the main palace, but during the training of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, one thousand of the three thousand guards in the palace were eunuchs. These eunuchs were for external affairs, or rather, for use by the previous dynasty.

Behind them, there was only Jiang Chen, the only man present; there wasn't even a eunuch.

This seems incredible in the First World, but it's quite normal in the Third World.

"Yes."

The eunuch responded.

After a while.

The imperial palace arrived with envoys from Xiyan.

Jiang Chen heard footsteps and looked up.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten stacks of intermediate-grade talisman paper.]

"Ten stacks of mid-level to intermediate-grade talisman paper?"

"This is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate-level talismans."

"This is the sixteenth time I've checked in."

"Golden Armor Talisman, Immobilization Talisman... these are all mid-level to mid-grade talismans."

"Beginner-level talismans correspond to first-class martial artists, intermediate-level talismans correspond to innate martial artists, advanced-level talismans correspond to grandmaster martial artists, and intermediate-level talismans correspond to great grandmasters."

"Intermediate-level mid-grade talismans correspond to the Martial King realm."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Zi Gu is a character in the novel "Spring Flower Flame".

In the drama, she is the princess of Xiyan. Naturally innocent and disliking restraint, her elder brother, Yue Qin, is sent to Yan as a hostage. To quell the years-long war between Xiyan and Dayan, Zigu is chosen as a princess for a political marriage. Zigu is bestowed the title of Consort Yan. The Yan Emperor treats her with kindness and compassion, and Zigu, initially fearful of him, gradually lowers her guard and develops feelings for him. The palace is filled with elaborate rules and regulations, but fortunately, she has her brother by her side. However, this peaceful life is short-lived; the once charming and innocent girl finally faces the day when she must stand on her own.

"Spring Blossoms and Flames?"

"Indeed, Xi Yan is the Xi Yan in 'Spring Flower Flame'."

"Zi Gu?"

"Yue Zigu".

In the drama, Xi Yan and Da Yan have been locked in a life-or-death struggle for decades. After Xi Yan surrendered first and sent its young son Yue Qin away, it sent Princess Yue Zi Gu (Xi Yan's surname is Yue, so Zi Gu will be called Yue Zi Gu from now on) to marry into the Western Yan in order to recuperate. Along with them, a hundred beauties from Xi Yan were also sent to Da Yan for the royal family and nobles to choose from.

Having grown up in the royal family, Yue Zigu was naive and easily frightened by the appearance of Murong Jinghe, especially after being mocked by him with blank paper upon their first meeting. This instilled in her both fear and disgust for Murong Jinghe. Thus, she protected the beauties who were entering the palace with her. Princess Yue Zigu genuinely treated the other beauties as friends, which is why she repeatedly intervened when Meilin was being mistreated, even going so far as to sue Murong Jinghe despite his threats, all to ensure Meilin's safety.

When the Emperor learned that Mei Lin was an orphan of Qingzhou, he did not want to keep him. However, after listening to Murong Jinghe's doubts and Yue Zigu's pleas, he handed Mei Lin over to Murong Jinghe to handle, thus quelling the conflict between the two countries and the Qingzhou matter. After being taken away by Murong Jinghe, Mei Lin was completely at his beck and call, but he still does not know that Murong Jinghe is the master of the Dark Factory, which will become the point of conflict between the two in the future.

Mei Lin, as Murong Jinghe's person, only obeyed his orders and was forbidden from contacting Yue Qin, so she had no choice but to comply. Yue Qin fell in love with Mei Lin at first sight, but harbored resentment after Murong Jinghe severed all ties with her. After enduring more than ten years of hardship in the Great Yan and being released back to his country, his ambition was fully exposed, and he began to plot for power, intending to attack the Great Yan and reclaim Mei Lin. Yue Zigu acted as his inside man, gathering intelligence for him. After Yue Qin ascended the throne, he immediately gave Yue Zigu his final orders. Seeing that he could dominate the world and gain freedom, Yue Zigu, who had been seemingly innocent, became completely ruthless. His elaborate scheme to poison the emperor was just the tip of the iceberg; ultimately, he set his sights on the Crown Prince and Murong Jinghe.

"In the finale of 'Spring Flower Flame,' not a single character, from the main characters to the supporting characters, had a happy ending; all that could be seen was regret."

"Yue Zigu is the same."

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Yue Zigu.

Yue Zigu, who was in his teens, was married to him in a political marriage; he was not very old.

Jiang Chen felt that his actual age was about the same as the old emperor in the drama.

But does being older mean you can't be intimate with a young beauty?

Naturally not.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor of Qin."

The envoy from Xiyan and Princess Yue Zigu from Xiyan bowed to each other.

"Get up," Jiang Chen said.

The envoy from Xiyan and Princess Yue Zigu from Xiyan stood up.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin." The envoy from Xiyan presented the letter of state.

Jiang Chen took the imperial edict from the eunuch and began to read it.

The treaty reached between the Qin Dynasty and Xiyan consisted of roughly three articles.

First, Princess Yue Zigu of Xiyan married Emperor Jiang Chen of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Second, Xiyan shall compensate Qin with 100,000 taels of gold and 200,000 dan of grain.

Third, Xiyan and Daqin (the Roman Empire) established trade relations.

"Indeed, I am very satisfied with the performance of your Xiyan Kingdom." Jiang Chen put down the letter of state and then looked at Yue Zigu: "You are the princess of Xiyan?"

"Yes." Yue Zigu looked at Jiang Chen.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen's appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in Yue Zigu's eyes.

Because Jiang Chen doesn't look very old.

"Then let them stay," Jiang Chen said to the eunuch beside him. "Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes," the eunuch replied, then came to Yue Zigu and said, "Princess Zigu, please come with me."

Yue Zigu glanced at the envoy from Xiyan, then nodded to the eunuch.

"The envoy from the West..."

Jiang Chen and the envoy from Xiyan continued their conversation.

The envoy from Xiyan sent Princess Yue Zigu today merely to express their sincerity; the specific details of the previous terms still need to be discussed.

Although Jiang Chen did not intend to destroy Xiyan, he wanted to maximize his profits.

The envoy from Xiyan left half an hour later.

"Have the Embroidered Uniform Guard keep an eye on the envoy from Xiyan," Jiang Chen said to Ren Ruyi, who had just walked out.

"Yes," Ren Ruyi replied, then took out a book: "Your Majesty, this was obtained from Ksitigarbha."

Ren Ruyi was referring to Dizang, the head of Biyou Peak in the novel "The Great Song Dynasty Beidou Division".

Jiang Chen picked up the book and started reading.

After a while.

"Is this the method by which the Biyou Peak Sect Leader, Ksitigarbha, controls the power of lightning?" Jiang Chen opened the book and looked at it, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes."

Ren Ruyi said, "I've read this book, but it seems useless. However, the powerful Dizang, the head of Biyou Peak, can control the power of lightning."

"This is because the sect leader of Biyou Peak, Dizang, has awakened a special ability," Jiang Chen said.

"Special ability? The kind of special ability His Majesty mentioned before?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "However, this so-called superpower is just the activation of a certain law power. Whatever kind of superpower you have, that's the kind of law power you activate. For example, water-based superpowers activate the law power of water. However, because the activation is not much, you can only mobilize the relevant natural forces through this law power."

The Jiang family has now taken in quite a few people with superpowers.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was quite familiar with the superpower settings in the film and television fusion world.

"Then what is this?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"This is magic."

Jiang Chen said, "It's essentially a technique used by cultivators to manipulate the power of nature. However, unlike cultivators, those with superpowers, due to the awakened power of laws, don't mobilize as much natural power through their techniques. If a cultivator were to use this technique, its power could be several times greater."

"Then is this useless to us?" Ren Ruyi asked. "No, as long as we cultivate to the Martial Emperor Realm, we can feel the power of nature and utilize it. And when we break through to the Martial God Realm, our application of the power of nature will be even stronger." As he spoke, Jiang Chen flipped his palm, and a surge of lightning power swirled in his palm.

"Is this the power of lightning?" Ren Ruyi asked.

“Yes, it’s controlling the power of lightning according to the instructions in this book.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Although I’m not a superhuman, I can use my true energy to sense the power of lightning in nature and control it according to the instructions in this book.”

Jiang Chen had long believed that the Jiang family's cultivation system was a new system composed of different cultivation systems from various film and television worlds. Furthermore, the Jiang family's cultivation system was connected to each of these existing cultivation systems.

The fact that he's now controlling the power of lightning is the best proof of that.

“So, as long as I break through to the Martial God Realm…” Ren Ruyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “However, this technique is not strong. We still need to explore the use of natural power ourselves. At the same time, when we go to the Fourth World next time, we should look for the cultivation systems in the Fourth World that use natural power, and then extract their essence to build a method for our Jiang family to use natural power.”

Jiang Chen also felt that it was good for the Jiang family to have an independent cultivation system.

After all, every cultivation system has its advantages and disadvantages, and the Jiang family's cultivation system can take the essence and discard the dross to build a new cultivation system, which will also help them make their way in the world of film and television fusion.

To put it another way, if the Jiang family's cultivation system is a great river, then other cultivation systems are rivers that intersect with this great river.

"I understand now," Ren Ruyi said suddenly.

"Come here." Jiang Chen beckoned to Ren Ruyi.

"Your Majesty." Ren Ruyi came to Jiang Chen's side.

Jiang Chen reached out and embraced him.

The next moment, Ren Ruyi was pulled into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Ren Ruyi asked, leaning against Jiang Chen's chest.

"Isn't this a rhetorical question?" Jiang Chen looked at Ren Ruyi with a smile, while at the same time, he began to warm his hands.

It's February now, and Bianjing is still quite cold.

what?
Would a Martial God Realm expert be afraid of the cold?

Naturally, one should see through it but not say anything.

"I had no idea." Ren Ruyi was now enjoying Jiang Chen's embrace. For him, this was a rare moment of tenderness.

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Your Majesty..." Ren Ruyi persisted.

Jiang Chen and Ren Ruyi started chatting.

Yes, of course, it's sweet talk.

……

Jingdezhen, on the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.

"Is this Jingdezhen?" Jiang Chen looked around Jingdezhen.

Jingdezhen was named after the emperor's reign title because of the excellent quality of its celadon porcelain produced during the Song Dynasty.

Jiang Chen had long wanted to visit Jingdezhen, and today he finally had the opportunity.

"Although the current Ming Dynasty is ruled by Zhu Yuanzhang, due to the integration of film and television with the world, Jingdezhen's development level is equivalent to that of the mid-Ming Dynasty in history."

Jiang Chen came to Jingdezhen to meet up with Wang Xining.

Wang Xining had previously come to Jingdezhen to purchase porcelain.

Jiang Chen came this time to collect those porcelain items using his spatial ring.

Some of these porcelain pieces are intended for purchase in the First World, while others are planned for decoration in the Jiang family's residences.

"It's time to go and meet up with Wang Xining."

Jiang Chen then walked forward.

Just then, a beautiful figure appeared in Jiang Chen's line of sight.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,610 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a high-grade low-level spirit field modification blueprint, and a high-grade spirit fish pond modification blueprint.]

"Ten Vermilion Fruits of Ten Thousand Years?"

"This is the sixth time I've checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to quickly advance to the Martial Emperor Realm. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180. It will be a unique treasure for the Jiang family in the future."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"Starting with Bai Yingyu, then Xu Pingjun, Li Fuhui, Jiang Suoluo, Ruyue, Black Cat, Wu Miaoxian, Wang Meilin, Zi Gu (Yue Zi Gu), and now Zhao Yuru, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points, and the space ring's space has been expanded by 100 cubic meters. This is the basic special reward."

"A high-grade low-level spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the sixth time I've checked in."

The Low-Grade Spirit Field Transformation Plan transforms existing land into Low-Grade Spirit Fields, with a total of ten acres of Low-Grade Spirit Fields that can be transformed.

The intermediate-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform one hundred acres of low-grade spirit fields.

The advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the intermediate low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform 1,000 acres of low-grade spirit fields.

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the seventh time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the advanced spirit fish pond renovation blueprint transforms an existing fish pond into a spirit fish pond. The basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint can renovate ten acres of spirit fish pond. The intermediate spirit fish pond renovation blueprint is an upgraded version of the basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint, which can renovate one hundred acres of spirit fish pond.

The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is an upgraded version of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and can renovate 1,000 acres of spirit fish ponds.

"Therefore, the difference between the advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan and the low-level and intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plans is the number of acres to be renovated."

"The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is ten times that of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and one hundred times that of the low-level spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"This sign-in reward is really good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Zhao Yuru, a character in "Jingdezhen".

In the drama, she is a legendary woman of exceptional intelligence, profound righteousness, and a heart for the world. She and Zhang Tianyi were childhood sweethearts, and they vowed never to marry until Zhang Tianyi became the head of a major kiln. To help Zhang Tianyi focus on his porcelain painting research, she sought out various masters, eventually mastering the techniques of several kilns and creating an unparalleled porcelain painting method. Zhang Tianyi sacrificed himself by throwing himself into the kiln to fire a large dragon plate, earning him the title of Fire God. She then raised her son alone, who eventually inherited his business.

"Jingdezhen? It's that drama."

"Zhao Yuru?"

"Zhao Yuru in the drama is the embodiment of the legendary virtues of the entire family!"

In the drama, Zhao Yuru is the fiancée of the eldest son of a large family. Because the eldest son, Zhang Tianyi, is obsessed with pottery, he is determined to marry her in a grand ceremony after achieving a significant breakthrough. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times and technology, Zhang Tianyi's passion and overly eager attitude ultimately drive him to his doom, leaving Zhao Yuru alone to care for the entire large family. She must manage the complex relationships within the family, reconcile the various demands of the imperial court on Jingdezhen porcelain artisans, and deal with her uncle-in-law who develops feelings for her out of guilt. Balancing family and personal happiness, this story thrusts a woman to the forefront of history!

Zhao Yuru is a typical virtuous and capable wife who supports her husband and the entire family to the best of her ability. She sacrifices herself to help her loved ones succeed. Facing the ups and downs of life, she remains calm and adheres to her own moral standards. While supporting her fiancé's career, she also tries to address his personality flaws.

In a society where gender segregation was becoming increasingly strict, she dared to travel with her husband's brother, crossing provincial borders and humbling herself to find a craftsman who could help her husband make porcelain, thus preventing his business from failing and suffering losses! After her fiancé's failure, she showed great forbearance and resilience, transferring her love for her fiancé to the porcelain-making business and the next generation of children. Although she did not have the title of head wife, she took on the internal affairs of the family and became the de facto head wife!

As the pillar of her family, Zhao Yuru helped her husband's family promote the porcelain-making techniques of Jingdezhen and raised her deceased husband's unborn child. In the end, Zhao Yuru and her brother-in-law, who had loved her for many years, finally got married, making her a true winner in life.

"The sister-in-law married her brother-in-law."

"This setting is really..."

Jiang Chen wished he had a sister-in-law like that.

Such a sister-in-law must be a dumpling.

"I never expected to run into the sign-in girl while visiting Jingdezhen."

"Interesting, very interesting."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

In the drama, Zhao Yuru is virtuous and kind, and also an excellent matriarch.

I wonder how far along the plot has progressed.

If Zhao Yuru hadn't had relations with her fiancé and his son, perhaps things could have been different...

"Jiang Chen?"

Just then, a voice came from the side.
