Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1753 "The Night of the Brocade Robe" - Xie Yufei

Seeing Jiang Chen bow, Xu Miaoyun's beautiful eyes narrowed.

next moment.

Xu Miaoyun took a deep breath and smiled, "Yunheng is here. Let your aunt see if he's gained weight these past few days?"

“Aunt, you can take a look.” Jiang Chen came to Xu Miaoyun.

"How do we check?" Xu Miaoyun pointed at Jiang Chen, her expression like that of an old mother disapproving of her son.

"The bathroom." Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and then said in a low voice.

“My son isn’t a toddler, does he necessarily need to go to the bathroom?” Xu Miaoyun gently shook her head, then grabbed Jiang Chen’s hand: “Why don’t we lie down on the couch and let your aunt have a proper check-up?”

"Alright," Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. "But Aunt, I don't know how to change clothes, what should I do?"

"Your aunt will help you." Xu Miaoyun pulled Jiang Chen inside.

"Auntie, what are you trying to do?" Jiang Chen continued his role-playing.

Xu Miaoyun didn't say anything, but instead pulled Jiang Chen into the inner room.

"I am truly captivated by my aunt's bed."

Jiang Chen lay down directly on the couch.

"Infatuated? Yunwen, how can you be infatuated with your concubine's bed?" Xu Miaoyun sat down next to Jiang Chen, her slender hands tracing patterns on Jiang Chen's chest before finally settling on his belt.

“Why not? I can still serve my aunt with all my heart.” Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

Of course, this dedication refers to his utmost devotion to Xu Miaoyun.

"Is that so?" Xu Miaoyun pulled out her belt.

Jiang Chen pulled Xu Miaoyun into his arms. "Auntie, you smell so good."

"Yunhu, how could you treat your aunt like this?" Xu Miaoyun protested in Jiang Chen's arms.

"How will my aunt punish me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Then..." Xu Miaoyun directly told Jiang Chen what she wanted.

Fifteen minutes later.

"sister."

Xu Miaojin rushed in.

next moment.

"Ah, you guys..."

Xu Miaojin exclaimed in surprise.

"Xu Miaojin?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to choose consorts for him, he decided that Xu Yeyue would be the Crown Prince's consort, Murong Qiudi, the eldest daughter of the Murong family, Zhang Xixi, the daughter of Nai'er Buhua, the Grand Commandant of the Northern Yuan, Xu Miaojin and Xu Ming'er from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and Lan Lianyi from the Duke of Liang's mansion would be the Crown Prince's concubines.

When Jiang Chen left the Third World last time, he originally intended to take Xu Miaojin and Xu Ming'er with him, but he didn't because Xu Miaoyun didn't want to. He never expected to run into Xu Miaojin here now.

"Miaojin." Xu Miaoyun's expression changed slightly.

She never expected Xu Miaojin to barge in.

Doesn't this mean that Miao Jin saw what happened between her and Jiang Chen?

"Come here." Jiang Chen immediately calmed down.

Now that the problem has arisen, the next step is to solve it.

“Oh…” Xu Miaojin stared blankly.

Jiang Chen grabbed at Xu Miaojin.

next moment.

Xu Miaojin flew into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Ah..." Xu Miaojin exclaimed in surprise.

"The most important thing now is to become one of us," Jiang Chen said to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun fell silent.

Jiang Chen's meaning is quite clear.

not to mention.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaojin was destined to be Jiang Chen's woman.

Xu Miaojin nodded.

“Miaojin, your sister and I have been together for a long time,” Jiang Chen said to Xu Miaojin.

“Ah…but, you are from different generations…” Xu Miaojin said.

"What difference in seniority? I'm just trying to give her happiness." Jiang Chen isn't really Zhu Yunwen. Even if he were, in an era where imperial power reigns supreme, what Xu Miaojin said is completely unimportant.

Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes when she heard Jiang Chen's words.

Jiang Chen's words sounded high-sounding, but it's just because Jiang Chen is inherently... a womanizer.

"I was originally going to tell you about this later, but since you've already said so, I guess you know it in advance. I think even if you do know, you won't tell anyone, right?" Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly.

"I, I..." Xu Miaojin's mind was spinning, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

“Now that you’ve ruined our plans, how do you think we should punish you?” Jiang Chen said.

"Did you ruin something good? Punishment?" Xu Miaojin was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but lowered his head and kissed him.

"Well……"

Xu Miaojin stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen, almost in disbelief.

"I'm going to take a bath. You, don't bully Miaojin too much." After saying that, Xu Miaoyun left, wearing a gauze robe.

“Sister…” Xu Miaojin seemed not to understand Xu Miaoyun’s meaning, but she sensed that Xu Miaoyun’s departure was not a good thing.

Xu Miaoyun glanced at Xu Miaojin, then turned and left.

“Miaojin.” Jiang Chen looked down at Xu Miaojin.

"Ah!" Xu Miaojin exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that she was in Jiang Chen's arms.

Thinking about her situation, Xu Miaojin felt even more embarrassed.

"Next, we'll consummate our marriage," Jiang Chen said softly.

"Ah, we're not married yet," Xu Miaojin said subconsciously.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you become my woman." As he spoke, Jiang Chen untied Xu Miaojin's belt.

Xu Miaojin nervously closed her eyes.

Jiang Chen chuckled and began to favor her.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at the bathroom.

"So fast?" Xu Miaoyun was still taking a bath.

“Half an hour is already a long time for the first time,” Jiang Chen said. “The rest is up to you.”

"Don't worry." Xu Miaoyun naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant.

Jiang Chen sat down next to Xu Miaoyun: "Thank you for your help."

"You'll be taking Miaojin, Ming'er, and Zhang Xixi with you this time, right?" Xu Miaoyun asked, but she said it as a statement of certainty.

"Okay, I'm leaving Xu Miaojin and Xu Ming'er's affairs to you. First, teach them the basic breathing techniques," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Xu Miaoyun understood.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Chen reached out his hand to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms.

The next day, Jiang Chen and Murong Qiudi had just gotten up when they heard Yu Huatian report that a new batch of young women had entered the palace.

"Call him in and let him see me," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes," Yu Huatian replied.

Soon, the first candidate entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The young lady bowed.

"Your name is Cao Zhen?" Jiang Chen was quite surprised.

Cao Zhen in "The Great Ming Genius".

Jiang Chen never expected that Cao Zhen would enter the palace.

"Yes," Cao Zhen replied.

Jiang Chen asked a few questions, then suddenly asked, "I heard that your sister has also entered the palace?"

“Yes.” Cao Zhen nodded.

"Did you enter the palace voluntarily?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes,” Cao Zhen said.

"That's good." Jiang Chen understood that Cao Zhen definitely didn't want to enter the palace, but he didn't say anything. Now that she was here, he couldn't let her go.

A moment later, Jiang Chen dismissed Cao Zhen.

The next moment, it was none other than Cao Wan, whom I had seen on the street yesterday.

The actress who played Cao Wan in her previous life was a TV host and the owner of a talent agency.

If he were to favor Cao Wan, wouldn't that be the same as favoring his former company boss?

However, Jiang Chen wasn't worried about Cao Wan and Cao Zhen's reasons for entering the palace. If the Cao family really wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't mind dealing with them.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Cao Wan bowed.

"Are you Cao Wan?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Yes, I am Cao Wan,” Cao Wan replied.

After exchanging a few words with Cao Wan, Jiang Chen dismissed her.

Soon, the third candidate entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The young lady bowed.

Jiang Chen looked up.

next moment.

A system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a storage bag containing 10,000 coins.]

"Storage bags cost ten thousand?"

This is the eighth time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the storage bag is a type of storage bag from the novel "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." It appears as a small, coarse cloth bag, containing storage space, and is a common item for low-level cultivators. Ordinary storage bags typically have several cubic meters of space and are one of the essential basic items in the cultivation world; they cannot store actual living beings. While their appearance is ordinary, they are difficult to destroy.

The storage bag for system check-ins is now modeled after the storage bag in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

In the novel *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, storage bags require the infusion of spiritual power and a divine sense seal to be used, and they also prevent others from detecting them. Storage bags obtained through system check-ins, on the other hand, require the infusion of true essence and spiritual power to be used, and they also prevent others from detecting them.

According to the system description, this storage bag has a capacity of six cubic meters.

The spatial rings, bracelets, and bags currently belonging to the Jiang family are unique to the family and serve as their identity tokens, verifiable with the family head's seal. Furthermore, as the family's fortune and level increase, the space within them can be expanded. Once the person who possesses a spatial ring, bracelet, or bag dies, no one else can refine it.

The storage bag is merely a storage bag; the Jiang family members can refine and use it using their true essence and spiritual power. If it falls into the wrong hands, anyone with true essence, spiritual power, spiritual energy, or divine sense can refine and use it.

"This means that the storage bag can be used by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Jiang Family Army, and the Fox Hunt assassins."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

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

Xie Yufei, a character in "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes".

In the drama, she is the wife of the Duke of Fuguo and Xia Xun's wife. They are a bickering couple who share hardships. Xie Yufei, whose real name is Xie Luti, adopted the nickname Yufei and the given name Xie Xie. She is Yang Xu's fiancée and comes from the Xie family of Chenjun. However, by the time of her birth, her family had declined. After her parents passed away one after another and her brother's leg was broken, preventing him from pursuing an official career, Xie Yufei faced the pressures of life far too early.

"Xie Yufei from 'The Night Watchman'?"

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

Jiang Chen sized up Xie Yufei.

Xu Ming'er is a character in "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes".

However, "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes" was not broadcast for some reason, and Jiang Chen didn't know much about the novel version of "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes".

The plot seems to be set in the early Ming Dynasty. Xia Xun, a commoner, accidentally takes the place of Yang Xu, a deceased wealthy scholar and merchant, becoming a pawn of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Witnessing the ruthlessness of his monitors, Zhang Shisan and others, he decides to protect himself and rid the people of this menace. At the same time, he meets his future wife, Xie Yufei, and the two begin a bickering yet loving relationship. Soon after, Xia Xun and Ximen Jing are pursued by the Embroidered Uniform Guard on their way back to their hometown, where they are rescued by Ji Gang. The three become sworn brothers at first sight.

The three unintentionally saved Prince Yan, his wife, and the princess. Xia Xun's abilities attracted the attention of Bai Yixia and Luo Kedi, the leaders of the two factions within the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Under their tutelage, Xia Xun became an outstanding member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he began to weaken the power of the princes. Xia Xun, concerned for the country and its people, decided to assist Prince Yan in his ascension to the throne to prevent further suffering for the people. He and Ji Gang worked seamlessly together at Prince Yan's side, making a significant contribution to Prince Yan's eventual coronation.

Xie Yufei is now the female lead in the drama.

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

"I am Xie Yufei," Xie Yufei replied.

"Oh, why did you come to the palace?" Jiang Chen asked.

"This humble woman..." Xie Yufei wanted to answer, but didn't know how.

"Can't you say?" Jiang Chen's tone was tinged with coldness.

"No, no..." Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Jiang Chen, Xie Yufei trembled and quickly explained the reason.

A clear understanding flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The emperor selected women for the imperial concubine selection. Anyone who was of marriageable age, unmarried, or not engaged had to participate in the selection.

Another reason Xie Yufei participated in the talent show was the pressure of life.

"Stay." Jiang Chen didn't care what Xie Yufei's reasons were. Just the fact that Xie Yufei had a storage bag with 10,000 coins from signing in made today's meeting worthwhile. Moreover, as the female lead, her looks and figure were absolutely top-notch.

"Yes." Xie Yufei felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

Although she had prepared before entering the palace, her heart still skipped a beat when she heard those words.

After Xie Yufei left, Jiang Chen met with several more young women, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

Until the tenth woman entered.

The system notification sounded the moment the young woman entered.

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

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,950 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, an expansion of your spatial ring by 100 cubic meters, 10 high-grade spirit stones, and a low-grade spirit ship.]

"Ten thousand talismans?"

"This is the eleventh 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 90,000 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."

"Starting with Sun Xiaorou, then Xu Jingwan, Sun Meixi, Lin Meihua, Meilin, Yin Luomei, Wu Cuilian, Cao Wan, Xie Yufei, and now Wang Mantang, we've signed on to ten more leading ladies without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points and an expansion of 100 cubic meters in the space ring are the most basic special rewards."

"Ten high-grade spirit stones?"

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

Like mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones are spiritual objects born from spiritual veins, possessing immense spiritual energy. Spirit stones are divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones can accelerate a martial artist's cultivation speed.

The exchange rate between low-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit stones is 100 to 1, and the exchange rate between mid-grade spirit stones is also 100 to 1.

"This is good stuff."

"A low-level spirit ship?"

This is the fourth time I've checked in.

“A spirit boat is a means of transportation that travels on rivers and seas.”

“A low-level spirit ship is the lowest-level spirit ship.”

According to the system description, the low-level spirit ship is 148 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 50 meters high, with a displacement of 200,000 tons. It has eight decks but only one bridge. Inside the bridge are arrays for activating the low-level spirit ship and defensive arrays.

The others are either rooms or seclusion chambers.

These rest rooms and secluded meditation rooms all have related formations.

"Like low-level spirit boats, low-level spirit ships are covered with mirror arrays, which not only provide strong defense but also reflect all attacks from those below the mid-stage of the Martial God Realm."

"The difference is that the low-level spirit ship has an attack formation that can unleash the power of the Giant Spirit Realm."

"The speed of a low-level spirit ship is 20,000 miles per hour."

"A day's voyage consumes no more than three mid-grade spirit stones."

"This low-level spirit ship is surprisingly fast."

"With this low-level spirit ship, things will be much more convenient on the sea in the Fourth and Fifth Worlds."

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

Wang Mantang is a character in the novel "The Legend of Zhengde".

In the drama, she dreamt of a little green dragon sleeping beside her as a child, and as an adult, she believed she was Wang Mantang, the man who accompanied the king on his journey. She was straightforward and likable, and suffered greatly to marry Emperor Zhengde. In the palace's power struggles, she was deliberately assigned to do hard labor in the laundry room. She was stolen from the palace but kidnapped by bandits to be their wife. When Emperor Zhengde came to quell the bandits, the two met and fell in love, unaware of each other's identities. Only when she returned to the palace did they have a chance to be together, but this wait lasted for over a decade.

"I signed my name on Liu Liangnu in 'The Legend of Zhengde' in Datong before, but I never expected to run into Wang Mantang today."

"This is because film and television have integrated with the world, so Wang Mantang also entered the palace."

Jiang Chen sized up Wang Mantang.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Wang Mantang bowed.

"Yes, no need for formalities, please get up." Jiang Chen raised his hand to help him up.

Wang Mantang bowed and stood up.

He chatted with Wang Mantang for a while, then asked Wang Mantang to leave.

This time, Wang Mantang was the last woman selected for the imperial concubine selection.

After meeting Wang Mantang, Jiang Chen left the East Palace to handle some of the Ming Dynasty's political affairs.

Just then, Yu Huatian said, "Your Highness, there are some outstanding talents among the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Would you like to go and take a look?"
