Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1479 Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Xiaomei

“You’re beautiful,” Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

"Really?" Huo Yunge spun around happily and said cheerfully.

“Of course it’s true.” Jiang Chen smiled at Huo Yunge and said, “You’re from the desert?”

"How did you know?" Huo Yunge asked curiously.

"I can tell, you have the charm of a desert woman. I've taken a liking to you." Jiang Chen knew that Huo Yunge, who lived in the desert, was not as reserved as people from the Central Plains, so this direct approach was the most effective.

"What? You've taken a liking to me?" Huo Yunge looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Putting everything else aside, just based on Huo Yunge's culinary skills, he wouldn't let her go.

"Why did you fall for me?" Huo Yunge asked.

"Do you need a reason to like me?" Jiang Chen asked back.

“Well… I have someone I like,” Huo Yunge said.

"You have someone you like? Who?" Jiang Chen asked knowingly.

"He is my Ling-gege." Huo Yunge did not hide it.

"Brother Ling? What's his name?" Jiang Chen thought that Liu Ling in the drama should be a member of the royal family in this film and television fusion world.

“I’ll call him Brother Ling,” Huo Yunge replied.

“This is not a name.” Jiang Chen looked at Huo Yunge and said, “If you want to find your brother Ling based on this alone, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, as difficult as climbing to heaven.”

“Brother Ling is in Chang’an City, we should be able to find him,” Huo Yunge said.

"Chang'an City has 118,800 households and a total population of approximately 346,200. Adding in merchants and students who reside there temporarily, the total population is estimated to be around 450,000. Isn't finding one person in such a large population like finding a needle in a haystack?" Jiang Chen was referring to the data from Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty of the film and television fusion world.

"This..." Huo Yunge was slightly taken aback.

"Besides, you said yourself that you separated from your brother Ling ten years ago. In ten years, do you think your brother Ling is still in Chang'an? Maybe he has already left Chang'an. In that case, the world is so big, how do you plan to find him?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

“Brother Ling told me that he would be waiting for me in Chang’an City,” Huo Yunge said.

"You just said that you met your brother Ling ten years ago, right?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Huo Yunge nodded.

“Your brother Ling is about the same age as you. Do you think a child can make decisions for a family? If his family wants to leave Chang'an, do you think your brother Ling can stop them and keep them in Chang'an?” Jiang Chen continued to ask.

"This..." Huo Yunge was dumbfounded.

Jiang Chen said something she had never thought about.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem to make sense.

“In the Han Kingdom, even the royal family must leave Chang’an City with just one order from the emperor,” Jiang Chen said.

"Then what should I do?" Huo Yunge asked, somewhat confused.

Just as Jiang Chen said, what should she do?
"So, I think you should give up." In this world where film and television merge, the emperor is Liu Che, so Liu Fuling can't possibly ascend the throne. If Huo Yunge really found Liu Fuling, the two might actually be able to be together. But that's not what he wants to see.

"I..." Huo Yunge remained silent.

"Take this money." Jiang Chen gave Huo Yunge the silver and then said, "If you ever come to your senses, you can come find me, and then we can be together."

"You..." Huo Yunge then realized that Jiang Chen had taken a liking to her.

"Take it."

Jiang Chen handed the silver to Huo Yunge and then asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"My name is Huo Yunge," Huo Yunge replied.

"Huo Yunge? What a nice name." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "We'll meet again sometime."

Huo Yunge nodded upon hearing this.

"Goodbye."

Jiang Chen said goodbye and left.

Although he was only meeting Huo Yunge today, Jiang Chen felt he had plenty of time to win her over.

Although he will be a few years older when he comes back from this Third World, as a man, the older he gets, the more he likes younger women (he is at least 18 years old).

"However, this trip to the Western Han Continent is just about developing the family business; there are still many things to do."

"But I might not come again next time."

"As Liu Che gets older, he will definitely have to deal with the Xiongnu, and then..."

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of Princess Pingyang, Liu Ping.

Previously, he only wanted Princess Pingyang Liu Ping to marry into the Dayuan Kingdom, but what if she became the empress?
No.

Princess Pingyang, Liu Ping, did not have the qualities to become an empress, but there was someone else who did.

If it were her...

Just then, a carriage appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

There were two girls, around fourteen or fifteen years old, in the carriage.

"Is it them?"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,620 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.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten ancient Poria cocos plants.]

"One hundred mid-grade spirit stones?"

"This is the fourth time I've checked in and received one hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

"After refining a low-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 10 points, constitution increases by 15 points, and agility increases by 5 points. After refining a mid-grade spirit stone, strength increases by 130 points, constitution increases by 180 points, and agility increases by 60 points."

"However, it takes 1000 attribute points to go from Martial King to Martial Emperor. Even using mid-grade spirit stones, that requires several. Moreover, refining a low-grade spirit stone normally takes ten days, and refining it using the Northern Darkness Divine Art takes four days. Without the family's cultivation speed bonus and without considering cultivation techniques and other factors, it would take a Martial King at least two months to refine a single mid-grade spirit stone... Of course, if you add the cultivation speed bonus, the refining process will be faster."

"Even so, given my (Jiang Chen's) Martial Emperor realm status, it would take at least half a month to refine a mid-grade spirit stone."

"Starting with Cao Zhen, then Yan Nanxing, Murong Linzhi, Li Ruo, Cui Caiping, Yang Yuhuan, Zhang Meiren (Zhang Mingzhu), Princess Qingqing, Huo Yunge, and now Shangguan Feng'er, 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. These are the most basic special rewards."

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

"This is the seventh 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 my eighth time checking 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."

"Ten ancient Poria cocos plants?"

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

"I received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos twice as a special reward before. After that, I received ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in with Du Bingyan, Zhu Sha, Zhu Yunqiao, Lan Qianyi, Qian An'an, Amanda and others. I received a thousand when I advanced to the Celestial Clan. I didn't expect to receive ten thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in again now."

"Due to alchemy and other reasons, a lot of the ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos has been used up recently. There are only 1,400 plants left in the system space. It's not bad to be able to get ten ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos by signing in now."

“However, once the Jiang family’s medicinal garden is fully developed, we won’t need to worry about these ten-thousand-year-old herbs.” At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Shangguan Feng'er is a character in the TV series "Oolong Breaks Through the Pass".

In the drama, she is the empress of Emperor Zhao, Liu Fuling. She is beautiful and innocent. She married at the age of five, became empress, became a widow at seventeen, and then became empress dowager. She had a subtle relationship with Liu Bingyi, but had to give up due to her awkward status.

Shangguan Xiaomei is a character in the TV series "Love Yunge from the Desert".

In the drama, she is the empress of Liu Fuling at the age of six. Her grandfather was General Shangguan Jie, and her maternal grandfather was Grand Marshal Huo Guang. She had just grown from a girl into a woman when Emperor Zhao of Han died at the young age of 15. She became empress dowager during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, and then Grand Empress Dowager during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han at the age of 40. Her youth was spent in the palace. She had a noble status, but no happy life. She died at the age of 52 and was buried with Emperor Zhao of Han. In the end, she only wished to have "a lifetime alone."

"Shangguan Feng'er..."

"It's her."

In the drama, Shangguan Feng'er was sent to the palace to become empress at the age of five, and became empress dowager at the age of seventeen, which meant that she would be confined to this deep palace for the rest of her life. She finally met Liu Bingyi, who she thought would be her salvation, but unexpectedly, the lovers ended up becoming grandmother and granddaughter.

Shangguan Feng'er, a girl of only seventeen, already held the high position of Empress Dowager. Her fate seemed predetermined, destined to be spent entirely within the deep palace. However, her deepest longing for freedom and true love never diminished.

The appearance of Liu Bingyi seemed like a glimmer of hope brought to her by heaven. His gentleness, intelligence, and courage captivated Shangguan Feng'er. She believed that she had finally found her salvation, that she could break free from the constraints of the palace, and pursue true happiness.

However, fate played another cruel trick on her. When Shangguan Feng'er learned Liu Bingyi's true identity, her joy instantly turned to despair. It turned out that the man she deeply loved was actually her future grandson-in-law. Lovers becoming grandmother and granddaughter—this ending was unacceptable to Shangguan Feng'er. She tried to struggle, tried to resist, but the rules of the court and the interests of her family bound her tightly. She could only silently endure the pain and torment in her heart, burying her feelings deep within.

However, Shangguan Feng'er did not give up. She decided to change her destiny in her own way. She began to study hard and improve her abilities, hoping to gain more influence in the palace. She also began to pay attention to the world outside the palace, hoping to find more opportunities and freedom. Although Shangguan Feng'er's path was full of hardships and challenges, she never gave up on her dreams and pursuits. She believed that as long as she persevered, one day she would be able to leave this deep palace and pursue her own happiness and freedom.

"Sister Shangguan..."

In the drama, she is Liu Fuling's empress, born into a noble family and married into the palace at a young age. However, she and Liu Fuling do not have a conjugal relationship; Liu Fuling only has Yun Ge in his heart. He also takes care of Shangguan Xiaomei, but it is out of familial affection, not romantic love. Regardless, Shangguan Xiaomei loves Liu Fuling. As long as he is by her side, she is happy and asks for nothing more. She is truly a simple and selfless girl.

Unfortunately, as the granddaughter of Shangguan Jie and the granddaughter of Huo Guang, she began a nearly forty-year widowhood after Emperor Zhao's death, and finally died peacefully in Changle Palace, living a lonely life until her death.

"Shangguan Xiaomei is one thing."

"Shangguan Feng'er... could actually have done that with Liu Bingyi in the palace."

"After all, this kind of thing is quite normal in the palace."

Jiang Chen felt that if he were Liu Bingyi, he would definitely make Shangguan Feng'er sing loudly.

After all, this is a kind of stimulation.

As for seniority?

Isn't that a kind of fun?

"Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Xiaomei are similar to the four sisters of the Nian family."

"According to the setting in the drama, Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Xiaomei are already married."

"Therefore, finding Liu Fuling is easy."

"By the time……"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Shangguan Feng'er is one thing.

Shangguan Xiaomei and Zhong Xiaoqin were played by the same actress in their previous lives.

Shangguan Xiaomei is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, not very old. Liu Fuling doesn't have many years left to live either.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen turned and left.

However, after leaving, Jiang Chen summoned the Imperial Guards to investigate Liu Fuling's whereabouts.

A moment later, Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang residence.

"Husband."

When Langhua saw Jiang Chen coming over, she bowed.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen pulled Lang Hua to sit down, then asked, "Are the things almost ready?"

Jiang Chen came to the Han Kingdom of the Western Han Continent this time in order to take away the resources that the Han Kingdom of the Western Han Continent had collected over the past few months in advance.

The family warehouse has a storage area of ​​100,000 cubic meters, and it's impossible to store all the resources collected in the Third World there. Jiang Chen's spatial ring is large enough, so he will transport these resources to Bianjing on the Sky Dome Continent in advance.

"The preparations for taking things with us are almost complete." Langhua explained the details.

"Okay, I'll go pack it up in a bit. Don't forget anything you want to take with you," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes, I'm planning to take quite a lot with me this time. Not only from the Han Kingdom on the Western Han Continent, but also from other continents. I must say, although the cultural levels and other aspects are different, there are quite a few good things. I've even bought quite a few headdresses," Langhua said.

A complete headdress set consists of a top hairpin, a pair of side hairpins, a pair of long hairpins, a hair ornament, a hair clip, a pair of side hairpins, a pair of sideburn covers, a pair of earrings, a pair of bracelets, a pair of rings, floral decorations, and several pairs of small hairpins.

The more ornaments a headdress has, the more exquisite and luxurious it is.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and began chatting with Lang Hua.

……

Three days later, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, at the foot of Mount Hua.

"Miss Ren."

Jiang Chen looked at Ren Yingying and said with a smile, "You've become more and more beautiful since I last saw you."

"What...what's wrong?" Ren Yingying asked nervously.

"Is there nothing I can't come to you for?" Jiang Chen chuckled and strode up to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying did not answer.

"Not going to say anything?" Jiang Chen reached out and lifted Ren Yingying's chin.

“Young Master Shi, please have some self-respect,” Ren Yingying said.

"What if I don't want to respect myself?" Jiang Chen used the name Shi Chen in front of Ren Yingying. He was also disguised.

“…you…” Ren Yingying’s face darkened.

"Can you resist?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

“I…” Ren Yingying’s expression changed.

The person in front of her was incredibly powerful, far beyond her ability to resist.

"You're also a member of the martial arts world."

Jiang Chen looked at Ren Yingying and said, "In the martial world, the strong are respected. No matter how noble your status is, as long as you are facing someone stronger than you, you can only submit to me."

"I..." Ren Yingying was speechless.

That's just how things are in the underworld.

But she couldn't stand this kind of "might makes right" attitude applied to her.

“I can tell you where your father is,” Jiang Chen suddenly said.

"What? Really?" Ren Yingying's eyes lit up.

“Of course, but do you really want to save your father?” Jiang Chen asked.

"What do you mean?" Ren Yingying asked.

“If your father comes out, the Sun Moon Cult will inevitably fall into internal strife,” Jiang Chen said.

Ren Yingying remained silent.

In her view, what did the internal strife within the Sun Moon Cult matter as long as her father was found?
"However, what are you willing to give up if you want me to tell you where your father is?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What are your conditions?" Ren Yingying asked.

“Miss Ren, you play the piano with both hands? I didn’t know…” Jiang Chen leaned down and whispered in Ren Yingying’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's face flushed red.

"Miss Ren, are you willing?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You, you're dreaming." Ren Yingying's expression changed.

"Then I'll take my leave." Jiang Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Damn..."

Ren Yingying never imagined that Jiang Chen would leave without saying a word.

She had no idea who Jiang Chen was, nor could she find him.

Does this mean that I won't be able to find out Ren Woxing's whereabouts until Jiang Chen comes to find me again?
