Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1476 First Meeting with Yang Yuhuan

"Yes." Li Ruo stiffened upon hearing this, fear spreading through her heart, but she dared not refuse and could only walk step by step toward Jiang Chen.

Every step felt like walking towards the Great Demon King.

However, even though he was afraid, he didn't show it on his face.

Jiang Chen saw through Li Ruo's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, Li Ruo came to Jiang Chen.

"Lord Jiang... Lord Jiang," Li Ruo called out softly.

Jiang Chen chuckled, then reached out and pulled Li Ruo into his arms.

Li Ruo exclaimed in surprise.

When she came to her senses, she found herself face to face with Li Xiuning.

In an instant, Li Ruo became extremely nervous.

It was as if the concubine had met the wife.

"Are you nervous?" Jiang Chen noticed that Li Ruo's body was a little stiff.

"No, no..." Li Ruo quickly replied.

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen looked at Li Ruo with a half-smile.

Li Ruo didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Chen chuckled and reached his hand inside Li Ruo's clothes.

Li Ruo was quick-witted, but dared not make any move.

"Okay, you can stay from now on." Jiang Chen took his hand out of Li Ruo's clothes.

"Yes." Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go down first," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Li Ruo stepped out of Jiang Chen's arms, bowed, and then turned and left.

"It seems my husband is quite satisfied?" Li Xiuning said.

"Mm." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

Although Li Ruo wasn't very beautiful, she was still quite nice.

This is also one of the reasons why she was able to be married off in the drama.

In the world of film and television, in the Tang Dynasty of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Ruo was also a princess. However, because of the existence of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, Li Ruo was not as willful and arrogant as she was portrayed in the drama.

Of course, this is related to the integration of film and television with the world.

It has now been five years since Xingxiang was founded, which also means that this film and television fusion world has been integrated for five years.

Five years have passed, and many of the characters in the show have changed.

Li Ruo was one of them.

“Then I congratulate my husband,” Li Xiuning said.

Jiang Chen chuckled and pulled Li Xiuning into his arms.

Li Xiuning did not refuse and became very affectionate with Jiang Chen.

A moment later, Li Xiuning called over a third person.

"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Lord Jiang." The person who came was none other than Cui Caiping.

"Get up," Li Xiuning said.

Jiang Chen looked at Cui Caiping.

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 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 seventeenth 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.

Cui Caiping is a character in the game "The Glory of Tang Dynasty 1.2".

In the drama, she is Yang Yuhuan's niece. Her mother is Lady Han, and she has the support of her aunt Yang Yuhuan and uncle Yang Guozhong. Later, she marries her beloved Prince Guangping, Li Chu, and becomes his concubine. Although Cui Caiping comes from a prestigious family and is extremely beautiful, she is domineering and spoiled.

"Cui Caiping from 'The Glory of Tang Dynasty'?"

"I didn't expect her to come too."

Cui Caiping in the drama was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her aunt was a favored imperial concubine, and her uncle was a powerful prime minister. She had everything, and all she wanted was the same as any ordinary woman: to share wealth and status with the man she loved. She was willful and domineering, and among the group of imperial concubines, her attire was as flamboyant as her spoiled princess temperament.

Li Chu was the man Cui Caiping had secretly loved and wanted to marry since childhood, and she was overjoyed that her wish had come true. However, this marriage was not merely a personal celebration, but rather driven by political motives. Although Prime Minister Yang wielded immense power, the emperor was old, and once he passed away, Yang, who had made many enemies, would certainly not regain his current glory.

As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Chu was brave, resourceful, and a wise man who understood the times. When Prime Minister Yang extended an olive branch, he had no choice but to accept. After all, it wasn't time to break ties completely. However, this alliance, formed through marriage but without any genuine affection or commitment, was something Li Chu both resisted and felt helpless about. His antagonistic relationship with Yang Guozhong remained unchanged, and his determination to eliminate Yang Guozhong never wavered.

However, he remained patient, knowing he was no match for him and lacked sufficient evidence to bring him down. Therefore, he treated Cui Caiping with perfunctory politeness and lack of genuine connection. Who would fall in love with a pawn of their enemy? Only Cui Caiping, blinded by her own incomprehension of the situation, foolishly believed she had all the advantages and that her marriage would surely be harmonious and fulfilling.

Putting aside political biases, is Cui Caiping, this rich and beautiful woman, really adorable?

Her various underhanded tactics, winning people over and getting things done for money, reveal that she was influenced by her upbringing and learned all sorts of shameful and unsavory traits. Her flamboyant, brightly colored outfits, which she thought were a way to attract men, were actually quite ostentatious. She saw Shen Zhenzhu as a nuisance, constantly targeting and making things difficult for her, displaying a petty and intolerant nature.

In terms of talent and virtue, she is inferior to the recognized talented women of Wuxing. She also knows that she is no match for them, and only knows how to use her family's influence to intimidate others.

How could a woman so lacking in refinement and personal charm, who is only capable of jealousy and is utterly vulgar, possibly be a good match for Li Chu? They have absolutely nothing in common.

Prime Minister Yang married his niece to Li Chu, hoping that when the crown prince ascended the throne, he would avoid trouble for the Yang family out of consideration for their children's marriage alliance. However, this only worked if the mother gained status through her son. Cui Caiping, eager to become the leading lady of the Prince's mansion and the absolute matriarch, was impatient for a child. She seized her opportunity and had only been basking in her power for a few days when, unfortunately, she was tricked into miscarrying by the mastermind, Zhang Shi, an undercover agent named He Lingyi.

If she were to conceive again, Li Chu would be wary, and the chances would be slim. The pain of losing a child would be devastating for any woman, especially since she had used it as a means to mend her marital relationship and solidify her position. During the An Lushan Rebellion, the Yang family had already become targets of public anger and resentment; even Prime Minister Yang and Consort Yang could not escape death, let alone Cui Caiping, who relied on them.
Cui Caiping's narrow escape was a stroke of goodwill from Li Chu. However, she had no children to rely on, no family to depend on, and no man's love. Penniless, she had finally woken up to reality; her dream had been nothing but a pipe dream. Being neglected was inevitable. Marrying her was a compromise Li Chu had made to appease her. Now that the Yang family had fallen, her survival was a testament to their marital bond. As for love or pity, she was already grateful if she didn't hate him.

So, in the end, Cui Caiping went mad.

"It can be said that as long as a family exists, there is a reason to be proud. After leaving the family, one is like a phoenix that has fallen to the ground, no better than a chicken."

"I wonder what changes Cui Caiping will undergo in this world of film and television fusion."

Information about Cui Caiping surfaced in Jiang Chen's mind.

Cui Caiping and Li Dai in the first world's "The 80/20 Law of Love" were played by the same actress in their previous lives.

I wonder how Cui Caiping's identity is defined in this world where film and television are integrated.

In a world where film and television are integrated, the established settings will definitely change.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Caiping stood up.

"Are you a member of the Cui family?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes," Cui Caiping replied.

Jiang Chen and Cui Caiping chatted for a few minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"This humble woman takes her leave." Cui Caiping bowed and turned to leave.

"What are you thinking about, my husband?" Li Xiuning leaned over and asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked in return.

“You must be thinking about Yang Yuhuan,” Li Xiuning said.

“That’s right.” Jiang Chen did not deny it. When they came to the Sui and Tang Continent last year, Li Jiancheng was thirty-eight years old and Li Longji was thirty-five years old.

Li Mao was one of Li Longji's many sons, and he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Yang Yuhuan was probably around the same age as Li Mao.

"I found it for you." Li Xiuning knew that Jiang Chen liked beautiful women, and that the Sui-Tang Continent was a parallel world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the First World, Li Xiuning had read its history and knew the story of Yang Yuhuan.

Now that Jiang Chen already has Diao Chan by his side, Yang Yuhuan wouldn't be surprised.

"Let's take a look then," Jiang Chen said.

Li Xiuning waved.

Soon, Yang Yuhuan walked in.

Jiang Chen 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 one hundred griffins.]

"One hundred griffins?"

"This is the fifth time I've checked in and received one hundred griffins."

According to the system introduction, this griffin is the griffin from "Battle Through the Heavens", a fourth-tier magical beast.

Griffins have sun-like plumage and coat colors. Their lion-like hindquarters are covered in yellowish-brown fur, while their eagle-like head and forelimbs are entirely covered in golden eagle feathers, though they may also be creamy white feathers with deep red spots. The feathers on their head and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on their chest are vermilion, and their eagle-like beak and feet may range from transparent yellow to brilliant gold, with black claws.

Because of their larger size, griffins cannot turn and circle as nimbly as birds, but they can still perform a considerable number of aerial maneuvers without a rider. They can fly in any weather and have an instinct for sensing weather changes. One reason griffins are difficult to tame is their strong confidence in their aerial abilities; they will not accept unreasonable commands from their riders.

At the same time, griffins possess superb hunting skills. With their speed, agility, and naturally sharp claws, griffins are truly astonishing when they swoop down from the sky to hunt.

"The fourth-tier magical beast, the Griffin, possesses the strength of a Battle Spirit."

"This means that the griffin has the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"This is an extraordinary treasure."

Although Jiang Chen already has a Martial God Realm puppet, the more Martial Emperor Realm griffins he has, the better.

"The sign-in reward this time is pretty good."

"There are now a total of seven hundred griffins, but it is impossible to control them without the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"However, if we can sign in with a hundred griffins at a time, we believe it won't be long before we can form a griffin army."

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

Yang Yuhuan is a character in the TV series "The Glory of Tang Dynasty".

In the drama, she is portrayed as a concubine, court musician, dancer, and one of the Four Beauties of the Tang Dynasty. She is depicted as gentle, beautiful, skilled in singing and dancing, and knowledgeable in music. She first married Prince Shou, Li Mao, and was ordered to become a Daoist nun. Later, Emperor Xuanzong issued an edict allowing her to return to secular life, bringing her into the palace and officially bestowing upon her the title of Imperial Concubine. In 756, after An Lushan launched his rebellion, she followed Emperor Xuanzong into exile. En route, at Mawei Post Station, she was ordered to commit suicide.

"Yang Yuhuan? I didn't expect Yang Yuhuan to be this version of Yang Yuhuan."

"This version of Yang Guifei is graceful and dignified."

Yang Yuhuan, the character in the drama, was a legendary beauty of the Tang Dynasty, whose beauty and talent were unparalleled. In the Tang Dynasty, plumpness was considered beautiful, and Yang Yuhuan not only possessed a stunningly beautiful face but also distinguished herself with exceptional dance and musical talent. As the poet Bai Juyi wrote, "A single glance, a smile, and a hundred charms bloom; the beauties of the six palaces pale in comparison," a line that perfectly describes her beauty.

Yang Yuhuan was born into an official family. Her father had served as the Registrar of Shu Prefecture; her great-grandfather was the Minister of Rites during the Sui Dynasty; and her uncle, Yang Xuangui, had served in the Ministry of Personnel in Henan Prefecture. From a young age, Yang Yuhuan displayed exceptional talent in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, possessing both beauty and intelligence. However, Yang Yuhuan's life was not without its challenges. After her father's death, she was raised by her uncle, Yang Xuangui, in Luoyang.

Later, Princess Xianyi, daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, held a grand wedding in Luoyang, and Yang Yuhuan was invited to attend. At the wedding, Princess Xianyi's younger brother, Prince Shou, Li Mao, was deeply captivated by Yang Yuhuan's beauty. After Consort Wu Hui's request, Emperor Xuanzong decided to marry Yang Yuhuan to Prince Shou, Li Mao, and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Shou. The young couple lived happily together after their marriage. However, after Consort Wu Hui's death, the couple's fate took a turn for the worse.

When Consort Wu Hui passed away, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was deeply saddened by the loss of his most beloved concubine and fell into profound grief. At this time, some people in the court advised Emperor Xuanzong that Yang Yuhuan not only possessed stunning beauty but was also proficient in dance and music.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong summoned Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan's voluptuous figure, graceful dance, and musical talent deeply captivated him. From that moment on, Emperor Xuanzong decided to keep Yang Yuhuan in the palace as one of his concubines. Subsequently, under the pretext of praying for his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Xuanzong had Yang Yuhuan become a Daoist nun, with the Daoist name "Taizhen."

Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang decided to bestow Wei Zhaoxun's daughter upon Prince Shou, Li Mao, and then brought Yang Yuhuan back to the palace, bestowing upon her the title of Imperial Consort. Emperor Xuanzong doted on Yang Yuhuan, composing the "Rainbow Feather Garment Dance" for her and personally selecting more than 700 tailors to make her Imperial Consort's costumes.

Later, the largest rebellion in Tang Dynasty history occurred. An Lushan, using the pretext of "purging the emperor's corrupt advisors and opposing Yang Guozhong," launched a serious rebellion that threatened the stability of Chang'an. Faced with this crisis, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang hastily fled Chang'an with Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong, other officials, and his son.

At Mawei Post Station, imperial guards including Chen Xuanli petitioned for the execution of Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan to quell the rebellion. Emperor Xuanzong initially ordered only the execution of Yang Guozhong, but the guards firmly believed Yang Yuhuan was the cause of the rebellion and that the An Lushan Rebellion was her fault, thus insisting on her execution. Ultimately, Emperor Xuanzong had no choice but to give Yang Yuhuan a white silk ribbon, ending her life.

"Yang Yuhuan became one of the Four Beauties because of her reputation as a femme fatale."

"From another perspective, it means that the man is incompetent, so the woman takes the blame."

"However, Yang Yuhuan was only that old, so Cui Caiping's character must be different from the one in the drama."

At this time, Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Rong'an in the TV series "Da Ye Dynasty" were played by the same actor in their previous lives.

However, in Jiang Chen's opinion, this version of Yang Yuhuan is also quite good.

After all, Jiang Chen didn't like fat people either.

Well, Jiang Chen only likes big thunder (internet slang).

However, this Yang Yuhuan was a bit more rounded than Zhao Rong'an described.

"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Lord Jiang." Yang Yuhuan bowed.

"Get up." Li Xiuning looked Yang Yuhuan up and down.

However, Li Xiuning was somewhat disappointed after seeing Yang Yuhuan.

Because Yang Yuhuan was not as stunningly beautiful as people imagined.

"Yes." Yang Yuhuan stood up.

"Come here," Jiang Chen said.

Yang Yuhuan was slightly taken aback and looked at Li Xiuning.

“Jiang Chen is my husband and the most powerful person in the Tang Kingdom. You may not listen to me, but you cannot disobey my husband.” Li Xiuning was pleased that Yang Yuhuan was asking for her opinion, but as pleased as she was, she had no ulterior motives in front of Jiang Chen.

"Yes."

Yang Yuhuan responded and then cautiously walked towards Jiang Chen.

Just as Yang Yuhuan came to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen reached out and pulled her over.

Caught off guard, Yang Yuhuan cried out in surprise.

However, Yang Yuhuan immediately realized what was happening and let Jiang Chen hold her.

Indeed, holding Yang Yuhuan and holding Cui Caiping are different.

"Yu Huan..."

Jiang Chen asked Yang Yuhuan a few questions.

Yang Yuhuan answered them one by one.

"From now on, you'll follow Xiuning's arrangements," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes."

Yang Yuhuan responded.

"Go down," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes," Yang Yuhuan replied, bowed to Jiang Chen and Li Xiuning, and turned to leave.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Li Xiuning asked.

"It's alright." Jiang Chen didn't hide his thoughts.

Now that they're right in front of him, he can do whatever he wants with them.
"I'm glad you like it," Li Xiuning said.

"Xiuning, you've changed a lot now?" Jiang Chen said, playing with Li Xiuning's hand.

"I'm just keeping up with the trend." Li Xiuning smiled, leaned against Jiang Chen, and started chatting with him.

Part of their conversation revolved around matters concerning the Tang Dynasty.

“My lord, the Qiang people to the west are causing some trouble right now,” Li Xiuning said.

"Unruly? The Qiang people want to take action against the Tang Kingdom?" Jiang Chen was quite surprised. The Xiuli Army of the Tang Kingdom is very powerful now, and even the Turks have been subjugated. The Qiang people are weaker than the Turks, so how dare they make a move?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuning said, "According to the intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Qiang people and Xiliang have been in close contact for the past two months..."
