Variety Film and Television: Starting from the Legend of Zhen Huan

After leaving Sheng's house, Zhao Ceying took Mo Lan back to Prince Huan's Mansion. Prince Huan's Mansion was originally built by King Yong at a great expense. It was much more exquisite than the Zhao Mansion of the couple before. It was specially allocated to Zhao Ceying by the officials.

Zhao Ceying didn't ask anyone to change much, but asked craftsmen to renovate the garden at the back.

The reason is the same. When she was in Yuzhou, Mo Lan loved to take care of the flowers and plants in the backyard.

So, Zhao Ceying completely handed over the small garden to Mo Lan, and Zhao Ceying and the craftsmen just worked on it. Mo Lan, who had just arrived at the palace, walked around and drew a picture with great interest as soon as he put it on the stool.

It is still in national mourning, so it cannot be extravagant, and the renovation is very simple, not even as gorgeous as when it was originally renovated.

The eastern part of the garden was paved with a layer of cobblestones, and the western part was paved with two stone paths. The original pavilion in the garden remained unchanged. A circle of bamboo was placed around the pavilion, and a set of wooden benches and tables were placed inside. The central pavilion The pool in front was dug to be bigger.

As soon as the drawing was drawn, Zhao Ceying and the craftsmen began to think about how to do it.

After staying in the mansion for half a day, a decree came from the palace, asking King Huan and Princess Huan to go to the palace.

When the two of them left, Mrs. Shen had already taken a nap for an hour. The nuns in the palace respectfully served tea cups and led the two of them to wait in the room outside the bedroom.

Shen couldn't help but wake up when she heard the noise outside, and Zhao Ceying also heard Shen's voice.

"Is mother awake?" Zhao Ceying asked through the screen towards the bedroom inside.

Mrs. Shen responded and asked the palace attendants to remove the screen and let the two of them enter the room.

Shen's face was a little pale, but it was much better than when she came to Bianjing a few days ago.

She asked the two of them to come today not because she missed them, but because of Queen Mother Cao.

She just came back yesterday, and she was tired from the journey. It happened that the Empress Dowager Cao missed the late emperor and was overly sad. She was lying on the bed sick, but she did not see the Empress Dowager.

Today she had to go to wait for a sick person. She came from Yuzhou and didn't know much about the rules in the palace. She was afraid that she would be scolded by the Queen Mother if she did something inappropriate.

In addition, the current official came to the position because of his rescue. She had just entered the palace, and she didn't know Queen Mother Cao's attitude towards her.

I heard from a palace official that his son risked his life to save the late Emperor and Empress Dowager Cao during a palace coup. Thinking of the kindness of saving their lives, the Empress Dowager would definitely not make things difficult for them, so she asked her close palace officials to go to Prince Huan's Mansion to announce her decree.

Outside the palace, Shen still hesitated.

Mo Lan held Shen's hand and whispered, "Mother, the late emperor is the most kind person. The eldest empress and the late emperor are in dispute. Mother, don't worry."

Shen felt relieved after moving away from the late Emperor. She had heard of the late Emperor's benevolent reputation in Yuzhou for a long time. How could the Queen Mother, who had been working hand in hand with the late Emperor for decades since they were young, be mean to others?

After hearing what Mo Lan said in a low voice, Shen's back straightened a little more.

The Empress Dowager summoned the three people to enter the palace.

There was another person inside, Ruichu, who had sent the blood edict and military talismans, and was also the princess of Changning. He was sitting on the chair beside the bed, smiling and talking to the Queen Mother Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao saw the three people, headed by her nominal daughter-in-law, who bowed respectfully and slightly nervously, followed by Zhao Ceying, who risked her life to save the late emperor and her during the palace coup. Next to him was Sheng Molan, who had just spoken to Ruichu, He also mentioned the Sheng family and wanted to go to the Sheng family today to repay the kindness.

Just as the palace maid delivered the tonic to the palace, Shen took the tonic from the palace maid's hand and stepped forward cautiously to help the Queen Mother take the medicine.

Empress Dowager Cao secretly sighed in her heart. Coming from a small family was also beneficial, and it was considered respectful to her, a frail old woman.

If it were Princess Yong, she probably wouldn't be so dedicated.

Although Zhao Zongquan was not his biological son, he still gave her enough respect and allowed her to do everything as she wished.

She was satisfied with this.

Mo Lan looked at the haggard Queen Mother Cao. From another perspective, Queen Mother Cao did not do much wrong.

Empress Dowager Cao just wanted Zhao Zongquan to sit on the throne safely and securely, but Zhao Zongquan and the late emperor had different ideas of governing the country, so they refused to delegate power.

She was afraid that Zhao Zongquan would mess up and destroy the ancestor's inheritance.

From Zhao Zongquan's perspective, he came to Bianjing from Yuzhou and rescued the late emperor, who passed the throne to him.

He came to be an emperor, not a grandson.

Since she came here to make a difference, how could she let the Queen Mother keep occupying the jade seal? Listening to politics behind the curtain?

It was the Queen Mother who bullied him in the first place. If she continued to endure it, wouldn't she become a bastard? It would be better to stay happily in Yuzhou.

So he used the name of his biological father to see how many people in the court supported him as the new emperor and how many people supported Empress Dowager Cao.

The differences between the two increased again. Empress Dowager Cao may have known that Zhao Zongquan was testing, but Zhao Zongquan had already adopted Renzong and gave him the throne as the late emperor.

After inheriting the throne, you have to be someone else's son. It is only natural.

As a result, not long after he ascended the throne, he had to posthumously ennoble his biological father. Where did this put the late emperor? Where does this put her as the Queen Mother?

It was like burning a bridge across the river. It was indeed Zhao Zongquan who was the first to be unkind and unjust.

Mo Lan could understand Queen Mother Cao, but siding with Queen Mother Cao would not do her any good.

What's more, the emperor was well aware of Empress Dowager Cao's plot to instigate rebellion, and kept letting it go in order to find evidence. Later, in the mutiny, most of the people who died were civilians who suffered unreasonable disasters, which was completely avoidable.

Empress Dowager Cao cannot be allowed to have the energy to make trouble anymore...

After Shen finished giving the medicine, Empress Dowager Cao gave a few instructions, drew the curtain and let the four people leave.

Mrs. Shen came out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the palace.

Ruichu timidly followed Mo Lan. Before Empress Dowager Cao left, she asked the couple to take Ruichu to the Sheng family.

Although she was made a princess by the late emperor, she had no one to talk to and was very lonely in the house. The only good thing about her was that she didn't have to worry about money.

Now is not the most difficult time. If you are bored, you can go to the palace to have a few words with the Queen Mother.

After the national mourning, she had to deal with the noble ladies in Bianjing. Although the palace sent a nun to teach her, she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Mo Lan always felt that Rui Chu was too reserved and was cautious when speaking, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Does the princess go to the Sheng family to see my third brother?"

Ruichu lowered his head subconsciously, and then showed a smile, "No, I just want to personally thank Madam Sheng Mansion."

When Chang Feng sent Rui Chu to Sheng's house, Rui Chu hesitated for a long time at the door of Sheng's house before knocking on the door.

The steward of the Sheng family took the person back. It was the eldest lady who wanted to see her, but Ruichu took out the jade pendant that Chang Feng had left for her. The eldest lady looked at it again and again, asked a few questions, and asked the person to Sent Ruichu to Lin Qige.

Lin Sushuang saw the timid person, carefully identified the person for a while, and asked the name if it was the person who came to seek refuge with the Lin family. However, when asked about other things, the little girl refused to speak.

Ruichu lowered her head when she saw the smiling woman in front of her. She was somewhat similar to the person who saved him before. She couldn't reveal a word about the important matter related to the official's life.

Lin Sushuang understood her son's virtue, but it was hard not to think about it wrongly. Finally, she rubbed Rui Chu's messy bun and said with relief, "Don't worry, when that bastard comes back, I will definitely seek justice for you."

What Ruichu was afraid of was that Sheng Changfeng would not come back and would be caught by King Yan's people, which would implicate the Sheng family. Ruichu was so preoccupied that he couldn't even listen to Lin Sushuang's words.

Asking Zhou Xueniang to take a jade comb to comb Rui Chu's hair, Lin Sushuang interrogated her about her origins bit by bit.

Rui Chu's experience of hiding in the palace gradually came to light, and she spoke of her sister, which aroused Lin Sushuang's sympathy. She couldn't help but remind her of her own experience when she first entered the Sheng family, and she was so pitiful and helpless.

I couldn't help but secretly curse Sheng Changfeng for not even bothering to buy nice clothes and jewelry for the little girl, but forcing people to come to the door of Sheng's house.

He quickly picked out some beautiful hairpins from his dressing box and put them on the little girl.

At night, when the Sheng family father and son came out of the carriage, Lin Sushuang knew what had happened. It turned out that there had been a palace coup...

And that little girl was the little palace maid who delivered blood edicts and military talismans to the officials. Brother Feng escorted Minglan out of the palace and happened to meet Rui Chu, and then went to deliver these things for Rui Chu.

Lin Sushuang was startled, and only later did she realize that Brother Feng was almost dead.

"My dear, where is Ruichu? Ruichu is in Sheng Mansion. I will send him to the palace tomorrow."

Lin Sushuang nodded hurriedly, but she made a mistake and sent the person directly to Chang Feng's yard. Fortunately, Ruichu didn't find anything. After breakfast the next day, she asked Chang Feng to send the person to the palace.
