Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1737 "King of Ten Thousand Phoenixes" - Yuan Wan
Upon arriving at the palace, Jiang Chen sat in the center of the couch, with Nian Shilan and Lang Hua sitting on either side of him.

“Let’s begin,” Jiang Chen said.

Nian Shilan nodded to her personal maid, Qiao Songzhi.

Qiao Songzhi walked out of the palace, preparing to bring in the young ladies-in-waiting.

Soon, the first candidate entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Guo Luoluo Shuning bowed.

Guo Luoluo Shuning is a character in the TV series "War and Beauty." Born into the illustrious Guo Luoluo family, she, along with Erchun and Shen Qi, were adopted as goddaughters by Xu Gong, the manager of the herbal medicine storehouse. After training, she acquired various talents and was sent to the palace. Arrogant and willful, she often wears flamboyant Manchu clothing and uses her family background to participate in the palace intrigues, navigating the power struggles among concubines like Consort Ru. While outwardly strong, Guo Luoluo Shuning is inwardly fragile, caught in a mental dilemma amidst the palace's power struggles, and harbors a strong yearning for affection.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen looked Guo Luoluo Shuning up and down: "Get up."

"Yes," Guo Luoluo Shuning replied, standing up.

"Are you Guo Luoluo Shuning?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes."

"you……"

After chatting with Guo Luoluo Shuning for a few minutes, Jiang Chen asked her to stay.

After Guo Luoluo Shuning left, the second candidate entered.

This young lady was named Uya Yuanqi, a character from the TV series "War and Beauty".

Jiang Chen glanced at her and then let her stay.

After that, four more women entered the palace.

Xilinjueluo Sangrou, a character in "War and Beauty".

Bao Hui, a character in "War and Beauty".

Mingzhu is a character in the TV series "War and Beauty".

Pingting is a character in the TV series "War and Beauty".

These women, like Guo Luoluo Shuning, are supporting female characters in the drama, and their lowest rank is that of a concubine. Those who can become concubines are generally quite attractive and capable.

After all, those who could enter the palace to participate in the imperial concubine selection had all gone through layers of screening before appearing before him.

As far as Jiang Chen was concerned, even if these women were not favored by him, they could still become maids of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family had a relatively high demand for maids.

"I wonder who the next candidate will be."

Jiang Chen felt that among the selected women, those who did not sign up for the lead role were unqualified.

Soon, the young lady entered and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Jiang Chen looked up.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received 10,000 talismans.]

"Ten thousand talismans?"

"This is the ninth time I've checked in and received 10,000 talismans."

Talismans were ancient imperial tokens used to convey orders, mobilize troops, appoint officials, reward meritorious officials, grant passage through passes, identify individuals, and conduct various military, political, economic, communication, and inspection matters. Now, the talismans obtained through daily check-ins are not only used for troop deployment but are also integrated into the Qi Yun Family's management system as a strict and systematic identification mark.

The tokens obtained from system check-ins are different from the inner guard waist tokens and brocade waist tokens obtained from previous check-ins.

The brocade waist tag is the waist tag of the Imperial Guards, which is carved from bone, horn and ivory that are thousands of years old, and requires a blood oath to bind it to its owner.

After the brocade waist tag is bound to the owner by blood, it can automatically display its number and the martial arts series it belongs to.

The talismans used now are those used by the Jiang family army.

After the blood oath is performed, the talisman displays information such as the unit's title, organization, and cultivation level.

"After the owner of the talisman dies, the talisman will be collected by the family head's seal, thus revealing the situation of the Jiang family army wearing the talisman."

"This is good stuff."

"The previous ten thousand talismans were used for the Jiang Family Army's Star Cavalry."

"Of the other 70,000 talismans, some have already been used on the Eagle Armor Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Fox Hunt assassins. Now that we have obtained another 10,000 talismans, it has solved our immediate problem."

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

Xia Chan, a character in the film "Cheung Po Tsai".

In the drama, she is intelligent, innocent, kind, seemingly fragile, and deeply devoted. After the death of her parents, she is sold into a brothel by her uncle, Huang Yixuan, and later enters the palace. She is selected as a high-ranking palace maid based on her abilities, but is then used as a tool in the power struggles of Consort Yan, who arranges for her to serve the Eleventh Prince, Minhao. Later, she is falsely accused of murder, but Minhao saves her, even draping a yellow jacket over her to protect her. After reuniting with her uncle, she helps him purchase cannons to suppress pirates. Seeing Minhao's mixed feelings of love and hate for Huang Dimei, she is shocked to realize that she herself has developed feelings for him.

Xia Chan in "Cheung Po Tsai".

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

In the drama, Xia Chan lost both her parents and was unable to afford their funeral. Just then, her uncle Huang Yixuan suddenly appeared and gave her parents a grand funeral. However, Xia Chan was subsequently sold into a brothel by her uncle and almost fell into prostitution. But she never resented her uncle and instead admired his extraordinary methods.

By chance, Xia Chan entered the palace as a maid, where she met the Eleventh Prince, Min Hao. She was captivated by his dashing horsemanship and remained deeply impressed. During the palace maid selection competition, Xia Chan ultimately won the position of a high-ranking maid based on her own abilities. However, the palace intrigues were treacherous and unpredictable, and Xia Chan quickly caught the eye of Consort Yan, who used her as a tool in her power struggles. She was assigned to serve Min Hao, but he constantly made things difficult for her, showing her no mercy. Despite Min Hao's unreasonable behavior, Xia Chan remained without complaint, always grateful.

Xia Chan was eventually exposed by Min Hao as a pawn of Consort Yan and was to be sent away. However, misfortune struck again when she was falsely accused of murder and her life hung in the balance. Fortunately, Min Hao saved her, and from then on, Xia Chan was devoted to him. Later, Min Hao realized that to successfully eliminate Zhang Baozai and his pirates, they needed to acquire long-range cannons from foreigners. Coincidentally, Xia Chan reunited with her uncle Yi Xuan, and took the opportunity to have Min Hao use Yi Xuan's help to purchase the cannons and rebuild their strength.

After Minhao defeats the pirates, he captures Huang Dimei, whose origins are unknown, and tortures her for a confession. However, Dimei not only retorts but also helps Minhao solve his problems. Xia Chan, seeing Minhao's love and hate for Dimei, is surprised to find that she has also developed feelings for Minhao.

"There are quite a few pirates in this show."

"We will definitely meet again in the future."

"In this world where film and television are integrated, there should be no artillery."

"Even if it exists, it can be easily solved with talismans."

In Jiang Chen's view, the Second World and the Third World should not develop towards industrial civilization.

Developing martial arts civilization is better than developing technological civilization.

Moreover, Jiang Chen felt that as the Jiang family developed, these worlds would undergo some changes.

"Get up," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes," Xia Chan replied.

“Raise your head,” Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Xia Chan raised her head.

Jiang Chen looked Xia Chan over, asked her a few questions, and then let her leave.

Xia Chan bowed and then left the palace.

Soon, the next candidate entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Tongjia Yuanwan bowed.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen said, "No need for formalities, please get up."

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained a low-grade third-tier spiritual vein.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,920 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, an expansion of your space ring by 100 cubic meters, a random attribute ore vein, and ten Holy Crossbows.]

"A low-grade third-tier spiritual vein?"

This is the eleventh time I've checked in.

"A first-tier low-grade spiritual vein is the lowest level of spiritual vein. A second-tier low-grade spiritual vein is the next level after a first-tier low-grade spiritual vein, and a third-tier low-grade spiritual vein is the next level after a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein."

"Although the family has many more spiritual veins after advancing to the Immortal Clan, having one more spiritual vein is still a good thing."

"Starting with Lu Danxin, Rong Shukuang, Ling Cangcang, Du Tingxin, Xiao Ying, Xu Wan, Zhou Xu, Buyamuqi Xiangling, Xia Chan, and now Tong Jia Yuanwan, we've unknowingly signed up for ten more female leads." "Attribute points 10, space ring space expanded by 100 cubic meters, these are the most basic special rewards."

"A mineral vein with random attributes?"

"This is what I got from the second sign-in."

"According to the system introduction, this random attribute ore vein will become an ore vein after it is placed. However, this ore vein is random. It may be a common ore vein such as gold, silver, copper, iron, cassiterite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, bismuthite, wolframite, and scheelite. It may also be an ore vein such as purple iron, taixuan iron, taiyin iron, zixia iron, qiling iron, leilin iron, xuanlei iron, jiutian xuan iron, and star steel rock that appear in fantasy novels or xianxia novels."

"So, simply put, these random attribute mineral veins are like opening a blind box."

"Unlucky us, we only got an ordinary vein."

"If you're lucky, you might find a valuable mineral vein."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"Ten Saint-Breaking Crossbows?"

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

According to the system introduction, the Saint-Breaking Crossbow, like the King-Breaking Crossbow, Martial-Breaking Crossbow, God-Breaking Crossbow, and Gang-Breaking Crossbow, is a weapon specifically designed to deal with martial artists. It not only has the effect of penetrating armor, but can also pierce through the body of a martial artist.

The difference is that the Saint-Breaking Crossbow is a crossbow specially prepared for martial artists at the Martial God Realm. When it is activated, it requires at least four martial arts masters at the Martial Emperor Realm or above to charge up their power and activate their true essence before they can nock the arrow and release it.

Like the King-Breaking Crossbow, God-Breaking Crossbow, Martial-Breaking Crossbow, and Gang-Breaking Crossbow, the Saint-Breaking Crossbow can deal with martial gods because the internal force, formation, and machinery gradually become perfect under the operation of a special device. The internal force originally transmitted to the Saint-Breaking Crossbow is amplified through the formation and machinery to achieve the power to penetrate martial gods!

A single Sacred Crossbow can kill a martial artist in the early stage of the Martial God Realm!
Even the strongest Martial God Realm expert would perish on the spot if caught off guard by ten Saint-Breaking Crossbows!
"The Saint-Breaking Crossbow, used to deal with Martial God Realm warriors?"

"Previously, the God-Breaking Crossbow could deal with first-class martial artists and innate martial artists, the Martial Crossbow could deal with grandmasters and great grandmasters, the King-Breaking Crossbow could only deal with martial kings, the Gang-Breaking Crossbow could only deal with martial emperors, and now the Saint-Breaking Crossbow can only deal with martial gods."

"This is perfect for Star Riders."

"Although it is not suitable for duels between experts, equipping the Star Riders and even the Eagle Armor Guards with this equipment would be of great benefit to the Jiang family's strength."

"If even the Plum Blossom Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Fox Hunt assassins were equipped with these crossbows, how spectacular it would be."

"Ten Holy-Breaking Crossbows are matched with one thousand Holy-Breaking Arrows."

"The Holy Arrow is made of special materials."

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

Tong Jia Yuan Wan is a character in the TV series "The King of Phoenixes".

In the drama, she is the daughter of Shu Ming'a, the Minister of Revenue. Born out of wedlock, she is determined to change her fate and eventually becomes Empress. Yuan Wan's character undergoes multiple transformations: initially straightforward but lacking in wisdom, she engages in fierce palace intrigue with Consort Quan, Niohuru Yilan, to solidify her position. After experiencing miscarriage and the hardships of being confined to the cold palace, she gradually becomes ruthless, even resorting to conceiving a child to regain favor. Key turning points include her mother's death, which leads to her extreme actions, and her emotional entanglement with Prince Rui, Mianxin, transforming from lovers to family, ultimately resulting in her being silenced by the Empress Dowager.

"Tong Jia Yuan Wan from 'The King of Phoenixes'?"

"I never expected to run into her today."

In the drama, after Yuanwan and Daoguang became husband and wife, they had a good relationship. However, she could not accept that Daoguang's favorite was Yilan. When Ming'a learned that the Empress Dowager dreamed of her eldest son Mianyi, who had disappeared on the battlefield, and was in great pain, he took advantage of the situation to win over the Imperial Observatory and persuaded the Empress Dowager to give Yilan a death in order to summon her soul.

Yuan Wan thought that with Yi Lan dead, there would be no worries. However, on the day of the empress's investiture, Daoguang learned that Yi Lan was in danger and went to rescue her. He even insisted on taking her as a concubine. The empress was ridiculed and considered it a great humiliation. She vowed to take revenge on the concubine.

The Empress inadvertently learns that Emperor Daoguang used someone else's corpse to impersonate Consort Quan in order to save Consort Quan. Resentful, she deliberately spreads the news that Consort Quan is still alive. Consort Quan falls for the trap and sneaks out of the palace. Emperor Daoguang, upon learning of this, accompanies her to the plague-stricken area. The Empress, who intended to harm Consort Quan, inadvertently creates an opportunity for her and Emperor Daoguang to share hardship.

In order to gain Emperor Daoguang's favor and respect, the Empress devised a plan to become pregnant, which succeeded. However, it was not long before news came that Consort Quan was also pregnant with the Emperor's child at the same time. The Empress deliberately provoked Consort Xiang, who had gone mad due to a miscarriage, to take the life of Consort Quan's unborn child. Unexpectedly, Consort Quan was blessed with good fortune and survived. The incident was exposed, and the Empress was eventually banished to the Cold Palace by Emperor Daoguang.

Misfortune struck again when the Empress suffered a miscarriage while confined to the Cold Palace. Knowing that losing her unborn child meant she would never rise again, she decided to seduce Prince Rui (played by Joel Chan) to father a child and use his influence to deal with Emperor Daoguang and Consort Quan. The Empress successfully fathered a child and prepared to make her way back into the world.

While the Empress and Consort Quan were vying for the Emperor's favor, the seemingly evenly matched Empress Dowager was secretly plotting to have Prince Rui seize the throne. The Empress Dowager went so far as to murder the Empress's son and manipulate the Empress into believing Consort Quan was the killer. Heartbroken, the Empress revealed to Prince Rui that her son was her own, and Prince Rui decided to obey the Empress Dowager's wishes and rebel to seize the throne.

The Empress was determined to have Prince Rui avenge her son, but then she learned that the Empress Dowager was the real culprit. Shocked, the Empress also grew tired of the treacherous power struggles in the harem and took the initiative to seek reconciliation with Consort Quan, hoping to leave the palace and live a peaceful life.

Before leaving, the Empress wanted to tell Prince Rui everything, hoping that he could give up his desire for power and leave her behind. However, the Empress Dowager learned of this and tore off her kind mask, actually trying to poison the Empress.

"Tongjia Yuanwan, in this world where film and television merge, is located in the Qing Dynasty mainland."

"So, Tongjia Yuanwan is only a teenager now."

Jiang Chen sized up Tong Jia Yuanwan.

Seeing Tong Jia Yuan Wan, Jiang Chen thought of Huang Yunling from the First World.

the difference is.

Huang Yunling from the First World exudes an aura that attracts Cao Cao.

Tong Jia Yuanwan is a teenage girl.

Tong Jia Yuanwan and Huang Yunling have different styles.

In the First World, he only had a nodding acquaintance with Huang Yunling, but this Tongjia Yuanwan was different.

"Yes," Tong Jia Yuanwan replied.

Jiang Chen chatted with Tong Jia Yuan Wan for a few minutes before letting her leave.

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

“This batch is finished, but there will be more in a few days,” Nian Shilan said.

"Okay, that's good." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Leave those few behind, take them with you when you leave the Second World."

“I’ve got it,” Nian Shilan replied.

"What are Your Highness's plans for these people?" Langhua asked.

“Naturally, a maid.” Jiang Chen answered without hesitation.

At least the women appearing in the drama are quite attractive, more than qualified to be maids.

At least it's pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness has excellent taste," Langhua said.

"We're still far behind you." Jiang Chen laughed and hugged Nian Shilan and Lang Hua. "It's less than two months before we leave the Second World. If you have time, go home and visit more often. It will be a long time before we come back to the Second World again."

"Are you going to the Fifth World?" Nian Shilan asked.

“Yes, we’re going to the Fifth World. We’ll be staying there for a relatively long time, so…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“We understand.” Langhua and Nian Shilan exchanged a glance.

After the three interacted, Jiang Chen led the two women away.

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Jiang Chen went to the Cabinet and the Grand Council.

Of course, Jiang Chen came to the cabinet and the Grand Council to handle government affairs.

After all, if he doesn't appear for a long time, the cabinet ministers and the Grand Council ministers will become suspicious. However, the longer Ruolan spends handling government affairs, the more he can remain hidden behind the scenes.

After handling government affairs in the Cabinet and the Grand Council, Jiang Chen left.

After spending a day in Shuntian Prefecture, Jiang Chen headed to Jinan Prefecture.

After arriving in Jinan, Jiang Chen went to the Xia residence.

"Did you miss me?" Jiang Chen came up to Xia Yuhe.

"Why are you here again?" Xia Yuhe noticed Jiang Chen's expression change slightly.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen smiled.

Although he and Xia Yuhe were only together on the Qing Dynasty mainland, they had been together for quite some time.

Xia Yuhe did not commit suicide; in a sense, she had accepted him.

"I don't want to see you." Xia Yuhe turned away.

The sunlight, like a golden stream, meandered through the window lattice, falling on Xia Yuhe and presenting another kind of beauty.

"It's okay, you can just close your eyes." Jiang Chen stepped forward and put his arm around Xia Yuhe's waist. "Leave the rest to me."

"..." Xia Yuhe.

Look at that, what a flimsy excuse.

But upon smelling that familiar scent, Xia Yuhe's body went limp.

"What do you think of my suggestion?" Jiang Chen slowly reached out and untied Xia Yuhe's belt.

"I...I don't know," Xia Yuhe said, her head bowed.

Jiang Chen chuckled and began interacting with Xia Yuhe.

Soon, indescribable sounds filled the room.

After having his way with Xia Yuhe, Jiang Chen left the Xia residence and strolled around Jinan.
