Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1477 of "The Legend of Xue Rengui": Lady Zhang, the Rouran Princess
"The Qiang people and the Western Liang?" Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Western Liang was a state founded by Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao.

"Yes." Li Xiuning recounted the intelligence about the Qiang people and Xiliang as she spoke.

"Any news from Tuyuhun?" Jiang Chen asked.

Tuyuhun, also known as Tuhun or Henan Kingdom, was a local regime established by Murong Tuyuhun, the leader of the Xianbei people, after he migrated to the northwest region. Murong Tuyuhun originally nomadized the area north of Jicheng in Changli, west of the Liao River, and was a branch of the Xianbei Murong clan. His grandson, Ye Yan, adopted his ancestor's name as the clan name. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, it successively served as a vassal state of the Song, Qi, and Northern Wei dynasties. In the first year of the Datong era of the Liang dynasty, its king, Kualü, declared himself Khan and established his capital at Fusi City. He pursued a policy of good neighborliness, intermarrying with the Eastern Wei and Sui dynasties.

Several years ago, the Tang Dynasty was established, and Tuyuhun was divided into two parts, east and west. The western part was led by Dayan Mangjiebo, son of King Fuyun, with Shanshan as its center, and later submitted to Tibet. The eastern part was led by Murong Shun, the eldest son of Fuyun, with Fusi City as its center, and submitted to Tang.

Previously, when the Xiuli Army attacked Tang, Li Yuan had mobilized several thousand Tuyuhun cavalry. However, several thousand Tuyuhun cavalry could not change the situation of Tang.

"Tuyuhun hasn't made many moves, but according to the intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the relationship between Tuyuhun and Tibet is becoming increasingly close." As the Empress, Li Xiuning was very knowledgeable about the intelligence of the several countries surrounding Tang.

"Do you think there's any connection between the Qiang people and Xiliang and the Tibetan Empire?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard hasn't found any relevant intelligence yet, but the possibility is very high." Li Xiuning had read historical materials in places like the First World and knew about the wolfish ambitions of the Tubo Kingdom. Therefore, after learning that Jiang Chen liked beautiful women, she brought Princess Wencheng to Jiang Chen's side.

"Arrange for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to go to Tibet to investigate," Jiang Chen said.

“Yes, I will arrange it,” Li Xiuning said.

“The next time we come to the Third World, the Xiuli Army should also be on a westward expedition,” Jiang Chen said to Li Xiuning.

"I'll make the arrangements." Li Xiuning understood what Jiang Chen meant.

The eastern part now belongs to the Sui Dynasty, and the Xiuli Army can only expand southward and westward if it wants to develop.

If it weren't for the desire to destroy her father (Li Yuan), the Xiuli Army would probably have already launched a westward expedition.

Jiang Chen's westward expedition was not only to destroy Xiliang and Tuyuhun, but more importantly, to obtain the resources of Xiliang, Tuyuhun, and Tubo.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

“Husband, let’s continue,” Li Xiuning said.

"Continue? Anything else?" Jiang Chen glanced at Li Xiuning in surprise.

“I wanted to please you, my husband,” Li Xiuning said, offering him a lipstick.

Jiang Chen tasted it without any hesitation, and his hand also entered Li Xiuning's dragon robe.

"Husband, why don't you look at the beauty first?" Li Xiuning pressed Jiang Chen's hand. "You might be more interested after you see her."

"it is good."

However, despite saying that, Jiang Chen still spent some time being affectionate with Li Xiuning before letting the next beauty come.

"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Lord Jiang." The beauty bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen looked up.

The next moment, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 100 sets of materials for the Haoyuan Pill.]

"One hundred portions of Haoyuan Pill ingredients?"

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

"Haoyuan Pill is used by martial artists at the Martial Emperor realm for cultivation."

"Right now, the Jiang family doesn't have many materials left to refine the Haoyuan Pill."

"With this reward, we won't lack Haoyuan Pills for a short time."

"Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that I am the only Martial Emperor at the moment, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough Haoyuan Pills."

Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Zhang Meiren is a character in the TV series "The Legend of Xue Rengui".

In the drama, she is Zhang Shigui's eldest daughter. Although beautiful on the outside, she is ruthless and vicious. Due to a political marriage, she marries Prince Li Daozong as a concubine. With her superb seductive skills and a combination of gentle and firm methods, she becomes Li Daozong's favorite concubine. After her father's rebellion fails, she takes her anger out on Xue Rengui and intensifies her manipulation of Li Daozong, launching a series of revenge actions against Xue Rengui. In the end, she is poisoned by Princess Zhaoyang and dies.

"A character in 'The Legend of Xue Rengui'".

“Zhang Meiren? That shouldn’t be her maiden name.”

In the drama, Consort Zhang is not only beautiful but also extremely intelligent and wise. She is the wife and imperial concubine of Prince Li Daozong, holding a very prestigious position. However, despite this, her inner character is far from beautiful; she is hypocritical and malicious, plotting to kill Xue Rengui, murder Li Jianshan, and even instigating Li Daozong to rebel. The treacherous minister Zhang Shigui and Li Daozong repeatedly fail to harm Xue Rengui. Finally, Li Daozong and Consort Zhang devise a vicious scheme, getting Xue Rengui drunk and then falsely accusing him of…raping…murdering the princess.

The plan worked. Upon learning of this, the emperor was furious and ordered Xue Rengui's execution. Fortunately, loyal ministers like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Huaiyu intervened, saving Xue Rengui. Lady Zhang, upon learning that Xue Rengui was still alive, summoned Zhang Ren and his brother, instructing them to kill him. However, Zhang Ren's brother failed to kill Xue Rengui and was captured. He then implicated Zhang Ren, who was subsequently beheaded.

In the end, Consort Zhang was poisoned to death by Princess Zhaoyang.

"In the drama, Zhang Shigui is Xue Rengui's superior, but he is narrow-minded and repeatedly frames Xue Rengui, attempting to take all the credit. In the end, Zhang Shigui's conspiracy is exposed by the strategist Xu Maogong, and Zhang Shigui is executed. Zhang Meiren is Zhang Shigui's daughter. Because of her father's failure and death, she harbors great hatred for Xue Rengui and tries to use the power of the imperial uncle Li Daozong to take revenge on Xue Rengui."

"But was Zhang Meiren wrong?"

"No……"

"No matter what Zhang Shigui is like, it's only natural that Lady Zhang wants revenge."

"After all, the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable."

"unless……"

According to ancient customs, after killing Zhang Shigui, unless Xue Rengui had slept with Zhang Meiren.

"Thank you, Lord Jiang." Lady Zhang stood up.

"What's your name?" Jiang Chen asked.

“This humble woman is Zhang Mingzhu (in the drama she is only referred to as Lady Zhang, but in the book she is known as Zhang Mingzhu),” Lady Zhang Mingzhu replied.

"Zhang Mingzhu?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed: "Hai Ke Shi Mingzhu, Xiang Rui Liao Jing Shi. Zhang Mingzhu, a good name."

Zhang Mingzhu smiled gently.

Jiang Chen and Zhang Mingzhu started chatting.

However, Jiang Chen didn't talk much and quickly let Zhang Mingzhu leave.

"That's all, right?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Does my husband want to have one, or not?" Li Xiuning asked, leaning against Jiang Chen's chest.

"If you have it, keep looking; if not, I'll look at you." Jiang Chen's hand slipped inside Li Xiuning's clothes.

“No, no…” Li Xiuning grabbed Jiang Chen’s collar, “You are mine now.”

Jiang Chen started eating without any hesitation.

……

The imperial city of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Greetings, young master." Dongfang Bubai bowed.

"Get up," Jiang Chen said.

After Dongfang Bubai stood up, Jiang Chen said, "It seems your strength has improved very quickly during this time."

"Thanks to you, young master," Dongfang Bubai said.

“I want you to become my maid,” Jiang Chen said.

"A maid?" Dongfang Bubai was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, a maid." Jiang Chen nodded slightly. "I wonder if you'd be willing?"

“I am willing,” Dongfang Bubai said.

"Oh? Why?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Because you have done me a favor," Dongfang Bubai said firmly.

"Okay." Jiang Chen took out a spatial bag and handed it to Dongfang Bubai: "Do as I say from now on."

"Yes." Dongfang Bubai didn't understand, but he didn't refuse.

Soon, Jiang Chen certified Dongfang Bubai as a ninth-rank maid.

"This……"

Dongfang Bubai looked at the spatial bag in his hand in disbelief, then at Jiang Chen.

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Young Master, this..." Dongfang Bubai didn't know what to say.

"This is a secret of my Jiang family. I don't want others to know," Jiang Chen said calmly.

"Don't worry, young master," Dongfang Bubai said.

"On the 20th, go to the Dugu family and find Dugu Banruo. Then you will follow Dugu Banruo's arrangements," Jiang Chen said.

"The Dugu family? Is that Master's... family?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

Dongfang Bubai's master was Dugu Qiubai.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen said, "You should know that Dugu Banruo and Dugu Mantuo are my women. You should know what to do."

“Young Master, I understand,” Dongfang Bubai said.

"By the way, how is your sister?" Jiang Chen asked.

“She’s still with the Emei Sect,” Dongfang Bubai replied.

"She doesn't want to leave with you?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

Dongfang Bubai nodded.

"Maybe she'll agree later." Jiang Chen thought of the Emei Sect in the Central Continent. Speaking of the Emei Sect in the Central Continent, it has been featured in many film and television dramas. Some members of the Emei Sect shave their heads, while others don't, but those who can play members of the Emei Sect are all people with good looks.

Yilin, the younger sister of Dongfang Bubai, is one of them.

"I hope so." Dongfang Bubai felt that as long as his sister was happy, that was all that mattered.

A moment later, Jiang Chen arrived at the palace.

"Husband."

Tuoba Di was delighted to see Jiang Chen: "It's been a long time since you've come."

"Here it comes," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"I missed you." Tuoba Di threw himself into Jiang Chen's arms.

Jiang Chen held Tuoba Di in his arms and sat on the dragon throne: "I missed you too."

"How much do you miss me?" Tuoba Di asked with a smile.

“Of course…” Jiang Chen whispered something indescribable in Tuoba Di’s ear.

"How annoying." Tuoba Di rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, but her eyes were full of laughter.

"Di'er, there's no one here now, we..." Jiang Chen didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"I still have to see the Rouran princess later," Tuoba Di said.

"See the Rouran princess? What's going on? Why is the Rouran princess here?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You haven't forgotten about the Rouran's attempt to arrange a marriage alliance, have you?" Tuoba Di asked.

Jiang Chen remembered.

Last time, when he met Fuling from "The Legend of Mulan", he heard Tuoba Di mention that Rouran wanted to marry their princess to him for a political alliance. However, he didn't take it to heart and just let Tuoba Di make the arrangements himself.

Unexpectedly, the Rouran princess has arrived.

“The Rouran princess is quite a beauty,” Tuoba Di said meaningfully.

"Di'er, you are the Empress, and this Rouran princess is going to marry you?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The arrival of the Rouran princess is a boon for you," Tuoba Di quickly said.

"Not necessarily, we could try contacting the Tuoba family," Jiang Chen said.

"Why should we give them the best deal?" Tuoba Di said. "The good-looking ones should naturally be given to you. Besides, the marriage between the Rouran princess and the Tuoba family is likely to cause trouble."

Although she was an empress, Tuoba Di believed that she should follow her husband wherever he went, and even the Northern Wei Dynasty was part of her dowry.

As for the Tuoba family?
They were just her family members.

But that's it.

As for finding a woman for Jiang Chen, what's wrong with that?
If she doesn't look for someone, the number of women around Jiang Chen will only increase.

As Jiang Chen's woman, all she had to do was fulfill her duties.

"The Tuoba family isn't behaving themselves?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"Yeah, they just think I'm a woman and that I'm easy to bully." Tuoba Di had always felt that being an empress was wrong, but after traveling to many worlds over such a long time, although she still felt that being an empress was a bit troublesome, she didn't think that the existence of an empress was a big deal.

"Haha, solving these things is a piece of cake for you," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm not the same person I used to be," Tuoba Di said proudly.

"Really? Then let's give it a try?" Jiang Chen said.

"What do you mean, try it?" Tuoba Di was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what he meant.

Jiang Chen's words were inappropriate.

He wanted to...

"It seems my Di'er has agreed." Jiang Chen prepared to untie Tuoba Di's belt.

"No, the Rouran princess is coming soon," Tuoba Di said.

Just then, the voice of a eunuch came from outside.

"come in."

After straightening his clothes, Tuoba Di spoke to the outside.

After all, Tuoba Di was the Empress of Northern Wei, and she still needed to maintain her dignity in front of outsiders.

"I'll come find you later." Jiang Chen didn't want to see the Rouran people.

"Okay." Tuoba Di nodded slightly.

Jiang Chen walked inside.

Soon, the Rouran envoy and the Rouran princess entered.

As Jiang Chen entered the inner room, he heard footsteps and turned around to look.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 5,000 Golden Silk Divine Arm Bows.]

"Five thousand Golden Silk Divine Arm Bows?"

"This is the nineteenth time I've checked in and received the Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow."

The Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow obtained through system check-in has a bow length of 3 feet 3 inches and a string length of 2 feet 5 inches. Its effective range is 1300 meters, and its maximum range can reach about 1520 meters. Its range is unmatched by other projectile weapons.

The Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow is a third-grade weapon, requiring a pulling force of nine stones and six dou, which means it can only be drawn by at least a third-rate martial artist.

"The Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow is a weapon that only a third-rate martial artist can draw."

"Besides the Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards, the Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow... the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Plum Blossom Inner Guards also need to be equipped with it."

"This means that until we obtain the crafting method for the Golden Silk Divine Arm Bow, we can only use it by signing in."

"Therefore, the more sign-ins, the better."

"After all, the crafting technology for the Shattered Feather Wolf Fang Arrow is already available, and the Shattered Feather Black Tiger Arrow has also begun to be produced. As long as there are enough Golden Silk Divine Arm Bows, many people can equip themselves with them."

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

Princess Qingqing is a character in the movie "Mulan".

In the drama, Princess Qingqing is the beloved daughter of Khan Datan. From a young age, she learned martial arts from the most skilled warriors of the Rouran, becoming no less capable than ordinary Rouran soldiers. Therefore, the Khan often took her with him into battle. Growing up under the Khan's protection, Princess Qingqing is naive and retains a childlike heart. She believes her martial arts skills are second to none. Although young, the princess occasionally fantasizes about what kind of great hero her future husband will be when gazing at the stars at night.

"Mulan: The Heroine"?

"I didn't expect it to be this movie."

Jiang Chen remembered that the drama was set during the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the Rouran tribe invaded the Central Plains. Hua Mulan and Tuoba Ao fought for ten years. On their way back to the capital to meet the emperor, they received orders to return to Yunzhong City. After a bloody battle, Hua Mulan, trying to save Tuoba Ao, unfortunately fell into the hands of the Rouran. Li Kunpeng, a general of the Rouran Ashina tribe, was ambitious. He had previously used the alias Li Kunpeng to trick Mulan into assassinating the Great Khan, but Mulan saw through his scheme. Later, dissatisfied with the Great Khan's peace negotiations with the Central Plains, he murdered him and framed Mulan, who had escaped the Rouran camp with the help of Princess Qingqing. Afterwards, to protect the people of Yunzhong City and her comrades, Hua Mulan went alone to the Rouran camp. During the confrontation, Princess Qingqing angrily pointed out that the real murderer of the Great Khan was Li Kunpeng. In the ensuing chaos, she, Hua Mulan, and Tuoba Ao joined forces to kill him.

"There are many films and TV series about Mulan, but I didn't expect that the Rouran princess was this Rouran princess."

"But is the Rouran Khanate now under the rule of the Great Khan?"

"However, even if the Khan of Rouran is not the Khan of Datan, Princess Qingqing's identity is still not considered."

Relevant information flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

It must be said that Princess Qingqing possesses a unique aura characteristic of the grassland people.

That kind of bold and unrestrained spirit.

"Greetings, Empress." The Rouran envoy was Wu Ti.

Wu Ti in "The Legend of Hua Mulan".

"Greetings, Empress." Princess Qingqing also bowed to Wu Ti.

Of course, Wu Ti and Princess Qingqing followed Rouran etiquette.

"Rise," Empress Tuoba Di said, her voice filled with authority.

"Thank you, Empress."

Wu Ti said to Princess Qingqing.

However, Wu Ti remained expressionless, while Princess Qingqing looked at Tuoba Di with curiosity.

In Rouran, women did not have a high status, so Princess Qingqing never imagined that there was an empress in the world.

"Are you Princess Qingqing of the Rouran?" Tuoba Di's gaze fell on Princess Qingqing.

"Yes," Princess Qingqing replied.

"You are from Rouran, sent for a marriage alliance..."

Although Tuoba Di did not want to be emperor, he had been emperor for so long that he had mastered the art of ruling.

At this moment, Tuoba Di's conversation with Princess Qingqing was also an attempt to extract information.

According to intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the situation around Northern Wei, a war between Northern Wei and Rouran is inevitable. Therefore, the arrival of Princess Qingqing of Rouran for a marriage alliance is also a contest between Northern Wei and Rouran.

After all, a marriage alliance isn't simply about marrying a princess. The underlying interests are the most important factor.

Jiang Chen was satisfied with Tuoba Di's performance.

This is what an empress should be like; in his eyes, the more outstanding his women are, the better.

Jiang Chen then left.

However, Jiang Chen did not wait for Tuoba Di in the inner room, but instead headed towards the Yufeng Palace.
