Comprehensive film and television: Female supporting role counterattack plan

On the day Princess Duanshu returned to the court, Hongli and the pregnant Empress Fucha accompanied the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace waiting for her.

After all, Princess Duanshu was married far away in order to appease the Junggar people. When the late emperor was still alive, the empress dowager was unable to persuade him to let her eldest daughter return to the court to visit her parents.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little fond of Zimu, especially since her youngest daughter had a close relationship with Zimu.

Seeing that her adopted son was well taken care of by his wife and concubines, the empress dowager was too lazy to care about her adopted son's harem affairs.

An unexpected gain was that the relationship between her and her adopted son vaguely returned to the state they had when the late emperor was alive, when they shared honor and disgrace.

With the announcement of Princess Duanshu's arrival, the Queen Mother gradually became nervous and uneasy.

Princess Duanshu, dressed in Mongolian attire, walked in and saluted in a dignified and graceful manner.

"Your son pays homage to the Empress Dowager. Respectfully."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly." The Queen Mother couldn't help but go down to help up her eldest daughter who was still kneeling on the ground. Concubine Jinggui beside her was also silently shedding tears.

"Sister greets the Emperor, brother and sister-in-law."

"Why do you and I need to be so polite, brother and sister?"

While they were chatting, it was time for dinner.

The Empress Dowager invited everyone to have dinner in the Cining Palace.

During the banquet, Empress Fucha said to Princess Duanshu, "Sister Hengchu has been traveling all the way and finally got home. You must take good care of yourself."

The eldest princess responded with a smile and then looked at Empress Fucha.

Empress Fucha looked radiant and her belly was bulging, and it was obvious that she was about to give birth.

So he said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to trouble the Queen sister-in-law to wait for me even though she's pregnant. Judging from her belly, it seems that my brother will soon have a little prince or princess."

Empress Fucha smiled shyly, lowered her head and said nothing.

Hongli then said, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager and Sister Hengchu, Junggar has been in turmoil for many years. Sister finally came back to visit her parents, and I will never let her go back to live in the chaos of war."

The Queen Mother nodded gratefully, and everyone chatted for a while. The meal was a very enjoyable one.

-----------------

The Empress Dowager, her daughter, and Concubine Jinggui only started to talk privately after Hongli and Empress Fucha left.

"Royal sister..." Hengti looked at the royal sister who was quirky and intelligent in her memory. Now she seemed like a different person. She couldn't help but moan with sadness and choked up.

Princess Duanshu gently touched her sister's head as if she had not married yet.

"Sister Hengti has grown up so much now, Royal Mother, Respected Mother, it has been ten years in a flash and your daughter really misses you."

At this point Princess Duanshu could no longer hold back her tears. She looked at the Queen Mother and Concubine Jinggui with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with longing.

"Don't cry, Hengchu. Didn't your brother just promise that he would never let you go back to Junggar? You can stay in the capital peacefully from now on."

The Queen Mother patted Hengzhuo's hand with heartache to comfort her.

"Can……"

Hengchu was hesitant to speak, she didn't know how to express her inner worries.

"My Queen Mother knows what you are worried about, but now that you have returned to the capital, everything will be fine."

"But I am still very worried. Madam Queen, I am afraid that I will be sent away again."

Hengchu's murmuring voice made the Queen Mother and Concubine Jinggui feel very distressed.

"Don't be afraid, Hengchu. This time, Jing'e Niang will protect you well even at the cost of her life."

Concubine Jinggui's heart bleeds as she looks at the child she has raised since childhood, seeing that his eyes are lifeless and his face is haggard.

"Sister-in-law Ling Fei once said that a dynasty with integrity should not exchange a woman's life for a brief peace." Hengti's whole body was shining when she thought of Zimu saying this.

"Yes, Concubine Ling is right. Our Qing Dynasty should rely on its own strength to safeguard the dignity and stability of our country." The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.

"So, Hengchu, you have to believe that your royal brother will handle this matter in the right way."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Empress Huang and Empress Jing."

With the comfort of her two mothers, Princess Duanshu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a determined expression.

Princess Duanshu then lowered her voice and asked in confusion, "How could my brother, who values ​​imperial power so much, allow the concubines to discuss state affairs at will?"

"Imperial sister, you have been away from the capital for too long. You may not know that Sister-in-law Ling Fei is not an ordinary woman. She is really very special."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Jinggui just smiled and said nothing.

"Really?" Princess Duanshu was already extremely curious about Zimu, whom she had never met before.

"When the imperial sister has rested, I will take you to Yongshou Palace to pay a visit to my sister-in-law. Then you will know that what I said is true."

Princess Hengti winked at her elder sister and said mischievously.

Princess Duanshu turned to look at the Queen Mother and Concubine Jinggui, only to see that they both nodded in agreement, which made her feel relieved.

"It seems that this little sister-in-law is very much loved and trusted by the emperor."

"Not only that, if it weren't for the restrictions of the ancestral system, Concubine Ling would have been named Concubine Ling Guifei long ago. However, this day should come soon."

Hengchu was secretly surprised, because it was the first time she saw the Queen Mother and Concubine Jinggui praising the same concubine at the same time.

In her impression, her biological mother hated stupid people the most.

Therefore, anyone who can gain her recognition must have something extraordinary.

A few days later, Hengti took the well-rested Princess Duanshu to Yongshou Palace.

"Sister-in-law Ling Fei, I brought my sister to play with you."

When Zimu heard Hengti's voice, he came out with a smile: "Yongqi is here to pay his respects to Aunt Duanshu and Aunt Hengti."

When little Yongqi heard what his mother said, he put down the toy in his hand and ran over like a little top to pay his respects respectfully.

"My nephew Yongqi wishes Aunt Duanshu and Aunt Hengti good health."

Hengchu looked carefully at the woman in front of her and found that, just as Hengti had said, she was indeed a beauty with outstanding looks and temperament.

There is an indescribable free and easy charm in his every gesture and movement, and even women would not feel jealous.

No wonder the Empress Dowager said that. It is understandable that the Emperor would fall in love with such a person.

"Your concubine greets Princess Duanshu." Zimu bent his knees slightly and bowed gracefully.

"It was my sister and I who disturbed my sister-in-law." Hengchuo smiled and took Zimu's hand, with a kind light in her eyes.

"I've heard Hengti talk about you these days, sister-in-law. Today I see that you are indeed as good as her reputation."

Zi Mu smiled slightly and responded modestly: "It's all because of your flattery, Princess."

"Oh, you guys are so annoying!" Hengti continued, "Sister-in-law usually calls me Hengti, so you can call me Hengzhuo, too."

Princess Hengti winked mischievously, which indeed made the somewhat unfamiliar atmosphere become relaxed and cheerful.

The three of them chatted for a long time in the palace, and Hengchu discovered that Concubine Ling was not only extremely intelligent, but also had unique insights into current affairs.

This kind of talent without showing off made Princess Duanshu like Zimu even more.
