Chapter 1738 of "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan": Du Xiaoyue and Mo Chou
After strolling around Jinan Prefecture, Jiang Chen unexpectedly spotted Du Xiaoyue.

Yes, it's Du Xiaoyue.

Du Xiaoyue in the four-part series "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan".

At the same time that Du Xiaoyue was seen, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a low-to-medium grade spirit field modification map.]

"A low-to-mid-grade spirit field transformation plan?"

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

According to the system introduction, this low-grade to mid-grade spirit field transformation map is used to transform existing land into mid-grade spirit fields.

A low-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of low-grade spirit fields. A low-grade medium-grade spirit field transformation blueprint can transform ten acres of medium-grade spirit fields.

"The low-grade mid-grade spirit field transformation map is another upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map."

"This is good stuff."

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

Du Xiaoyue is a character in the four-part series "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan".

In the drama, she is a close confidante of Ji Xiaolan. Gentle, considerate, and understanding, she also possesses a strong sense of justice, making her a remarkable woman. She is beautiful and charming, and acts impulsively. She is deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong and the Empress Dowager. At times, she can be melancholic and difficult to understand.

"Du Xiaoyue from the four-part 'The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan' series?"

"I never expected to run into her in Jinan Prefecture."

Du Xiaoyue in the drama had a miserable childhood. At the age of three, she was kidnapped by human traffickers and taken to Quanzhou to learn opera. She endured all kinds of harsh treatment before she mastered the art and made a living by performing opera. Later, she became famous, but was often bullied. She then met Mochou and followed her to learn martial arts to protect herself. Her life improved slightly, but she still traveled around performing opera with Mochou and others, and also joined them in advocating for the people.

During a trip with her elder sister Mochou to seek justice for the people of Yunzhou, she met Ji Xiaolan and initially misunderstood him. However, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and she was captivated by his extraordinary wisdom, talent, courage, and upright character. From then on, she followed him, and their lives finally stabilized. Ji Xiaolan taught her to read and write, and she assisted him on several occasions. Xiaoyue sometimes treated him like a father or elder brother, and also like a teacher, but sometimes she would secretly feel jealous when she saw other women being kind to him. When she entered the palace to meet Empress Dowager Niohuru, she won her favor and was later adopted by the Empress Dowager as her goddaughter, given the title of Princess Mingyue, and married the newly appointed top scholar Zhu Junhao.

Before Du Xiaoyue could marry Zhu Junhao, he passed away, so she returned to Ji Xiaolan's side, continuing to follow him and collaborate with him several times. After Ji Xiaolan and Zhao Qing confessed their feelings to each other, Zhao Qing also saw through her feelings, and she silently admitted that she did indeed have feelings for him. However, in the end, Zhao Qing could not be with her, and Du Xiaoyue's feelings remained hidden in her heart.

In the third installment of "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan", Du Xiaoyue did not appear on screen. She was only mentioned briefly, with the line that she had married far away to Gansu, and that Ji Xiaolan was very reluctant to part with her.

In the fourth season of "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan", Du Xiaoyue's husband (also He Wenyuan from Gansu) was wrongfully imprisoned. Therefore, she changed her name to Ke Yun (the left side of the character "Ke" is "木", which is the radical of the character "Du" in Du Xiaoyue's name; "Ke" is the right side of the character "He" in He Wenyuan's name; and "Yun" means the moon is obscured by clouds, because there is a "moon" in Du Xiaoyue's name). She returned to the capital again as a member of an opera troupe in order to clear her husband's name. However, her husband was eventually silenced, so Du Xiaoyue, who had nowhere to go, returned to Yuewei Thatched Cottage and returned to Ji Xiaolan's side.

“Du Xiaoyue…”

"Du Xiaoyue is beautiful and charming, honest and kind, cheerful and straightforward, lively and lovely, and warm-hearted. Sometimes she can also be sentimental and prone to overthinking, making her hard to understand."

"She is skilled in martial arts, has a strong sense of justice, and is always ready to help those in need. She is generous and magnanimous, but also has a quick temper, as well as a gentle, considerate, and understanding side. She is optimistic by nature, loves to laugh and joke, and is playful and curious. Physical characteristics: She is beautiful. To use Ji Xiaolan's words in the fourth part, she has an oval face, dimples when she smiles, and is very clean."

"The four seasons of 'The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan' were separated by more than ten years, but Du Xiaoyue was played by the same actress."

"This is very rare."

Jiang Chen sized up Du Xiaoyue.

The teenage Du Xiaoyue, hopping and skipping, looks much like her character in the drama.

Jiang Chen walked over.

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Xiaoyue".

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

next moment.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized him.

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 Level 1 Secret Realm.]

"A level one secret realm?"

"This is the ninth time I've checked in and obtained a Level 1 Secret Realm."

"According to the system introduction, this level of secret realm is the smallest secret realm."

"A level one secret realm can only be entered by those under one hundred years old and whose cultivation is below the Martial God Realm."

"A level one secret realm spans a thousand miles and opens once every ten years, each opening lasting for one month."

"The time flow rate in a Level 1 Secret Realm is twice that of the outside world."

"This means that the Level 1 Secret Realm is open for one month, and there are two months inside the Level 1 Secret Realm."

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

Mo Chou is a character in the TV series "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan".

In the drama, she is a chivalrous woman from Yunzhou who, while seeking justice for disaster victims, meets Ji Xiaolan and Emperor Qianlong, among others, and falls in love with him. After the turmoil, Mochou lives in Ji Xiaolan's Yuewei Thatched Cottage, risking her life to help him protect "Dream of the Red Chamber." When Heshen goes on a campaign against the Russians, Mochou is appointed by Emperor Qianlong as his deputy supervisor, helping Heshen defeat the Russians. After many twists and turns, she gives birth to Emperor Qianlong's son and enters the palace as a concubine.

"Mo Chou from the TV series 'The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan'."

"I never imagined that Du Xiaoyue was already with Mo Chou."

In the drama, Mo Chou is a chivalrous woman from Yunzhou, the sworn sister of Du Xiaoyue, and the fiancée of Master Huang Keming. Yunzhou is struck by natural disaster and then man-made calamity. The upright Huang Keming risks his life to record evidence of corrupt officials' embezzlement. Everyone fights desperately against the corrupt officials, and Mo Chou also risks her life to protect the ledger, but is unfortunately captured by the soldiers. After receiving the ledger, Du Xiaoyue disguises herself as a man and seeks help from the renowned scholar Ji Xiaolan, taking him to see Mo Chou in prison. Soon after, she gives him the ledger, but unexpectedly, she is tricked. After her arrest, Du Xiaoyue develops a misunderstanding towards Ji Xiaolan.

With Ji Xiaolan's secret assistance and the help of Huang Keming and others, Mochou and Du Xiaoyue were rescued.

In the process of seeking justice for the disaster victims, Mochou and her companions become acquainted with Ji Xiaolan, Heshen, and Emperor Qianlong, but due to misunderstandings, they experience numerous twists and turns. While dealing with corrupt officials, Huang Keming is unfortunately killed by government soldiers. After several trials, Mochou, Du Xiaoyue, and their group resolve their misunderstandings with Ji Xiaolan, and the two sides begin to cooperate to seek justice for the people in the disaster area. While accompanying Emperor Qianlong to investigate the mystery of her origins and assess the disaster situation, Mochou gradually falls in love with the emperor.

After several twists and turns, Mochou and Du Xiaoyue took refuge in Ji Xiaolan's Yuewei Thatched Cottage. Mochou risked her life to help Ji Xiaolan protect "Dream of the Red Chamber," and was whipped and injured by Fukang'an. When Heshen went on an expedition against Russia, Mochou, Du Xiaoyue, and Mochou were appointed by Emperor Qianlong as the chief and deputy supervisors, respectively, and helped Heshen defeat the Russians. Mochou also once took Emperor Qianlong's imperial sword to Fujian to investigate a case, expose corrupt officials, and rid the country of a scourge. She also pleaded for Ji Xiaolan, who had been demoted to a gatekeeper by Emperor Qianlong in a fit of anger, and was able to regain his original position.

While assisting Emperor Qianlong, Mochou gained the favor of the Empress Dowager due to her skill in massage and was treated like her own daughter. The Empress Dowager intended to marry Mochou to Heshen's son, Fengshen Yinde, but Mochou politely declined, saying she already had someone she loved. It turned out she and Qianlong were already in love. Mochou soon discovered she was pregnant while spending time with Qianlong, but he was unsure what to do due to the rule against marrying Han women. Mochou refused to reveal the father of her unborn child, which angered the Empress Dowager, who banished her from the palace and returned her to her thatched cottage. This also implicated Ji Xiaolan, who was punished as a result. Mochou was heartbroken and wanted to leave, but Ji Xiaolan persuaded her to stay, promising to protect her at all costs, which deeply moved her. During this time, Mochou recognized Tao Sangu as her godmother. Under Ji Xiaolan's provocation, Qianlong finally admitted to being the father of Mochou's child and offered her a formal title. However, the Empress Dowager and many princes and ministers opposed Qianlong marrying Mochou, a Han woman of humble origins, as a concubine.

After a night of kneeling remonstrance by his ministers, Emperor Qianlong initially hesitated, but remained resentful. He sought an opportunity to punish the ministers who had advised him, only realizing their loyalty after being persuaded by Ji Xiaolan, and rewarded them accordingly. The Empress Dowager, still fond of Mochou, believed, based on Heshen's suggestion, that as long as Mochou did not bear a child, the imperial bloodline would not be confused. She persuaded the princes and ministers to issue an unprecedented imperial edict, granting Mochou entry into the palace and bestowing upon her the title of Noble Lady for her meritorious service in saving the emperor, but ordering her to abort her unborn child. Qianlong could not accept this and refused to bring Mochou into the palace. To protect Mochou's unborn child, he declared to the Empress Dowager that he would rather abdicate. To prevent Qianlong's abdication, Mochou was willing to sacrifice her unborn child. Ji Xiaolan advised her to reconsider and even discarded the abortifacient given by the Empress Dowager. Heshen, also aiming to prevent Qianlong's abdication, agreed to join forces with Ji Xiaolan. To avoid harming Mochou's unborn child, Ji Xiaolan broke his pipe and declared he would quit smoking.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Qianlong, disguised, visited Mochou. However, the Empress Dowager also arrived, having heard of his arrival. Mochou was in the midst of a difficult labor, and Tao Sangu, who claimed to be experienced in childbirth, was actually incompetent, leaving everyone helpless. At the critical moment, the Empress Dowager personally entered and delivered the baby, a boy. Just as the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, Ji Xiaolan deliberately brought up the Empress Dowager's decree on abortion, ordering the drowning of the infant, which provoked the Empress Dowager to deny ever having issued such a decree. Ji Xiaolan then deliberately claimed that the baby's identity was unclear, so the Empress Dowager declared the newborn a prince and his mother, Mochou, a Noble Lady. Later, Tao Sangu accompanied Ji Xiaolan and Zhu Junhao to the palace to meet the Emperor, and also saw Mochou, now a Noble Lady. When Heshen and his son, Fengshen Yinde, came to pay their respects, Emperor Qianlong expressed his willingness to make Fengshen Yinde his son-in-law, but Fengshen Yinde had to find the real princess among seven palace maids, and even if he mistook her for someone else, he had to marry her as his principal wife. Fengshen Yinde was completely clueless, so Heshen sought help from Ji Xiaolan. With a gestural hint from Mochou, Ji Xiaolan informed Heshen that none of the seven were princesses. Heshen was grateful to Mochou, and Fengshen Yinde was thus able to marry a princess. The Empress Dowager also arrived carrying the prince born to Mochou. It turned out that this child had been greatly favored by the Empress Dowager since birth; she always held the child herself and wouldn't let anyone else hold him. Not only could Mochou not win against her, but even Emperor Qianlong had to ask the Empress Dowager's permission to hold the child. Emperor Qianlong, grateful to Ji Xiaolan for breaking his pipe to protect the child, bestowed upon Ji Xiaolan a golden pipe, granting him the privilege of being the emperor himself wherever he went, allowing him to expose corrupt officials and uphold justice for the people.

"In the drama, Mochou has a relationship with Emperor Qianlong without being married."

“In feudal society, Mo Chou was a pioneer in this regard.”

Jiang Chen sized up Mo Chou.

In Jiang Chen's opinion, Mo Chou in the drama is even prettier than Du Xiaoyue.

"The story cannot begin on the Qing Dynasty mainland."

"I wonder what will happen to Mo Chou in the future."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

However, after seeing Mo Chou, Jiang Chen lost his original intention to talk to Du Xiaoyue.

After all, communicating with one person is different from communicating with two people.

Moreover, this time, it's enough to sign in twice in a row.

As for what happens to Mo Chou and Du Xiaoyue afterward?
Once the Embroidered Uniform Guard has thoroughly investigated their situation, he can do whatever he wants.

It's easy to find someone to be a maid.

Jiang Chen then continued walking forward.

As Jiang Chen walked past Du Xiaoyue and Mo Chou, he overheard their conversation.

However, after listening to what the two women said, Jiang Chen lost interest.

After touring Jinan Prefecture, Jiang Chen flew on his sword to Jiangning Prefecture.

The family businesses of Jiangning Prefecture were managed by Zhu Yunqiao, Shen Cuixi, Zhou Ying, and others.

It can be said that every time Jiang Chen's women come to the Second World, their abilities improve significantly. To this day, even one of them can stand on her own, let alone several of them together.

Of course, Jiang Chen wasn't saying that one couldn't give up after accepting a family mission.

However, Jiang Chen also understood that even for the sake of contribution points, probably no one would give up the mission.

After all, cultivation requires spirit stones, and although it can't compare to places with abundant spiritual veins, it's not much different within the same world (excluding the Daming Palace). However, contribution points are not easy to obtain.

After arriving in Jiangning Prefecture, Jiang Chen inquired about the situation in Jiangnan from Shen Cuixi and others, especially about the Heaven and Earth Society and other anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces. Jiang Chen was not too surprised that the God Worshipping Society had joined forces with the Heaven and Earth Society and other anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces to launch an uprising.

“According to the previous plan, we need to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the uprising of the God Worshipping Society and other forces to wipe out all the anti-Qing and restorationist forces in one fell swoop. So, all you need to do is cooperate,” Jiang Chen said to Shen Cuixi and the others.

"understood."

Shen Cuixi and the others nodded.

After chatting for a while, Shen Cuixi and the others started talking about the New World.

Jiang Chen provided detailed information about the three new continents, including Dafeng Continent.

The family communication pavilion only contains basic information about the three new continents of Dafeng Continent.

"According to the information obtained from those maritime merchants in the southeast, there may be a new continent to the southeast of the Qing mainland," Fu Shanxiang said.

"Southeast of the Qing Kingdom continent? South of the Floating World continent? East of the Eastern Han continent?" Jiang Chen thought of the location of the New World when he heard "southeast of the Qing Kingdom continent".

The Floating World Continent is to the east of the Qing Dynasty Continent, while the Eastern Han Dynasty Continent is to the southwest of the Qing Dynasty Continent.

“It should be this location, but we haven’t personally verified it,” Fu Shanxiang replied.

"Hmm, I'll find some time to go and take a look." Jiang Chen has a special fondness for finding new continents. After all, the appearance of each new continent means a new female lead, which means he can check in.

Although you obtain different resources in different worlds as your strength increases, many of the rewards for signing in are things you can't get in those other worlds.

“We are still acquiring various silks and teas, but these can only be traded with other worlds or continents. However, there are basically no spirit stones in the First, Second, and Third Worlds, and it seems that the gold and silver we obtain can no longer be converted into cultivation resources. Husband, if this problem is not solved, these worlds may not be of much value to our development in the future,” Shen Cuixi said.

Zhu Yunqiao said, "Now that we are developing in this world, the most important thing is to acquire clan fortune. So, should we use the fortune of our clan to make those continental countries our vassal states? Although we would get less clan fortune than we actually control, we would have more time to cultivate."

"I've been thinking about this for a while. Until we find a solution, this is the only way we can increase our clan's fortune." This wasn't the first time Jiang Chen and the women had discussed this issue. However, Jiang Chen didn't have a solution yet. But he had a feeling that as the Jiang family's clan level increased, these worlds would also change.

However, Jiang Chen did not hide anything from the women.

He then recounted his guesses in their entirety.

"So, by raising our family's status, we can change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both political and social order)." Zhou Ying asked after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

The other women also looked at Jiang Chen.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Our Daming Palace is now connected to several worlds. It can be said that Daming Palace is the intersection of several worlds. I think there must be a reason for this situation that we don't know. However, we will only know the reason when the family level is raised again."

"Too."

Considering the Jiang family's advancement in status, the women believed Jiang Chen's words.

In particular, Li Bo, Yang Hui, and others had been with Jiang Chen the longest and were the most aware of the Jiang family's promotion status.

Therefore, Jiang Chen's guess is very likely to come true.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go eat first," Jiang Chen said to the women.

The women blushed slightly, but did not refuse.

The next day, Jiang Chen left Jiangning Prefecture and flew south.

Upon hearing news of a new continent, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to explore it.

Upon arriving in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty mainland, Jiang Chen did not immediately seek out the new continent, but instead landed in Guangzhou Prefecture.

When Jiang Chen last came to Guangzhou, he signed his name on many of the female leads.

Now that he was passing through Guangzhou, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to continue exploring the city.

Upon entering Guangzhou, Jiang Chen began to wander aimlessly.
