There are seven episodes in total in The Palace, and Tianxuan.com has only released the first four episodes at the moment, which coincides with the ulterior motives of everyone in the harem.
The old man stared at the reminder that the page had not been updated, and could only run and refresh it again. In order to relieve his anxiety of wanting to know the follow-up, he even went to the shopping platform to buy all the theater peripherals.
The price of the small peripherals he bought casually was not even as high as one of his flower seeds. Hua An didn't take it to heart. He didn't want to play with walnuts while watching the drama. The more he played, the more addictive he became.
When Hua Yingying came back from school, the sound of walnuts rubbing against each other echoed in the quiet living room. Hua An waved to his granddaughter: "Yingying, aren't you and Yu Jing friends? Go ask about the plot behind it."
The sofa was filled with walnuts, snuff bottles, Buddhist beads, and even a piece of imitation jade seal. Hua Yingying didn't even have a place to sit. She pushed the things aside, squeezed next to Hua An and smiled: "Grandpa, cheating is shameful. You should just wait for the update like everyone else."
It saves her from worrying about when her grandpa will be lured away by health care products.
The old man, whose back was still straight even though he was sitting on the soft sofa, slowly squinted his eyes.
His granddaughter has almost grown up under his eyes, from a babbling baby to a graceful eldest daughter. Hua An knows the little princess of the family very well.
This triumphant tone...
"Did Yu Jing send you the follow-up content?"
"Ahem!" Hua Yingying, who was gloating about his misfortune, choked on his saliva and shook his head quickly.
"When you lie, your eyes wander around, and your palms will subconsciously clasp your thumbs," Hua An reminded her with a smile, motioning to her granddaughter to look at her clenched fists.
Hua Yingying was discouraged, but Jiang was still old and spicy: "Yu Jing told me to delete it after reading it, so as not to leak out the rest of the plot, I have already deleted it..."
The girl rolled her eyes and asked maliciously: "Grandpa, do you want to spoil it? I can spoil it for you!"
Hua An waved his hands in disgust: "Go away, go away, I want to watch it myself, spoilers are shameful."
The grandfather and grandson were laughing and playing in the living room, playing with the peripherals. In the well-organized greenhouse behind the villa, an elegant lady sat among the colorful flowers. The tea cup in front of her had reached its bottom, and the book in her hand was halfway turned. She frowned slightly as she listened to the faint laughter coming from the old house.
The old man is a little strange.
Today I didn’t go out to take care of my beloved garden, or go for a walk or hike with my friends. Instead, I sat in the living room and stared at the computer. He hates online shopping, but he bought a bunch of weird things this morning.
The uncharacteristic behavior made Liu Xia uneasy, as if something was going out of control.
She calmed down, put the book aside, got up and went to the hall.
"Auntie," Hua Yingying greeted the lady, holding up a walnut.
Liu Xia had a nonchalant smile on her face and asked tentatively: "Dad, why do you suddenly want to play with walnuts? My friend has a lot of them. I'll pick out a few tomorrow?"
Hua An waved his hand. It would be more interesting to plate the walnuts himself.
The old man had never seen anything like a storm, and he could see through the thoughts of his eldest daughter-in-law at a glance. Although his daughter-in-law was in a business marriage, she was known to be well-educated, smart and capable, and she was a rare virtuous wife.
The only drawback is that he has a strong desire to control. Even if he can't make the decision on big and small things at home, he still needs to know the cause and effect.
Judging from the way she beat around the bush, it was obvious that she had relapsed into her old habit.
"Yingying recommended a TV series to me. I bought two peripherals to play with when I had nothing to do. Maybe one day I won't be interested anymore."
Recommended by Yingying?
Liu Xia glanced at the girl without any trace. Hua Yingying was holding a string of green Buddhist beads carelessly on the plate. The doubts in her heart deepened.
"Dad, if everyone is fine after dinner, let them watch TV with you."
She wanted to see what kind of TV series made the grandfather and grandson have a little secret.
Hua An guessed what Liu Xia had in mind. A hundred years of hard work in the mall made him calm and intimidating. Just a casual glance with a frown made Liu Xia hold her breath and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
"Whatever you want." Hua An didn't show it on his face, and the joy in his heart faded a bit. After all, she is the daughter-in-law, so she cannot be scolded like her son.
During dinner, the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit solemn. No matter how much Xiao Jiujiu felt in their hearts, the younger generations of the Hua family were still quite filial and would take time out to have dinner with the elderly every week.
Hua An, who was sitting at the top, said nothing, and everyone did not dare to talk and laugh as before, so they could only lower their heads and eat in silence.
After the meal, Liu Xia stopped everyone who was getting up to leave: "Watch TV with dad."
Hua An finally spoke: "If you have anything to do, just go and get busy. It's enough for Yingying to accompany me."
My uncle Hua Fan is a complete Chinese fan, and he has also been in the theater theater recently. He leaned next to Hua An and said with a smile: "Dad, you told me you were in the theater theater palace. I will definitely watch it with you and discuss the plot together. "
Only then did a smile appear on Hua An's face: "Let's go, don't be glib all day long, you will ruin Yingying."
The names of Hua'an's children were taken from the four characters "canruofanxing". When the eldest brother Huacan and the oldest Huaruo heard what Huafan said, they were about to leave and followed Huaan to the screening room on the first floor.
The familiar melody sounded, and Hua An finally regained his energy. Hua Yingying blinked and smiled.
"I forgot." Hua An muttered and asked the nanny to cut a plate of fruit for Hua Yingying and bring it over. Liu Xia felt sour in her heart when she saw this scene. The old man was extremely partial to Yingying.
Hua Yingying held the plate and said sheepishly, "Isn't this bad?"
"To stop you from spoiling the story." Hua An stared at the TV screen intently and said casually, "Watch it."
It’s a rare family gathering, so put those little thoughts away.
The three sons and two daughters-in-law were shocked and watched the TV screen seriously. Could it be that the old man had something to tell them through the TV?
…
Su Yan completely fell out of favor.
She was moved to the farthest place from Yangxin Palace, not far from Leng Palace. Late at night, the cries of resentment and hesitation coming from the cold palace woke her up from her sleep countless times. She hugged her knees and hid on the bedside, staring at the bright moon above the eaves.
"My lord, you can't go on like this. Do you want to stay in the side hall for the rest of your life?" The maid could not help but persuade her when she saw her dejected look.
"The emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and three thousand beauties. I knew it when I entered the palace, but I still foolishly hoped that he would believe me..." A line of clear tears fell from the corner of his eyes, "You think I am not ridiculous."
Su Yan was depressed for a few days, but finally regained her energy. She shut herself in the room, closed her eyes and recalled the scene at the flower viewing party.
"Concubine Song knew she was pregnant, so why did she come in front of me...to provoke me? No, with that woman's scheming, she would definitely give priority to protecting the dragon species..."
Concubine Song's provocative behavior in the harem can be said to be arrogant and arrogant, or it can be said to be... irritating some people.
Su Yan's eyes suddenly opened wide: "Is she really pregnant?"
If she wasn't pregnant, it would all make sense. So, who pushed her on the day of the flower viewing party?
Who was around her at that time...
Su Yan threw the pen aside irritably. It was too difficult to find clues in the chaos.
"Sister." Yu Ling came to Su Yan with a food box, her attitude towards her was the same as before. Su Yan raised a smile, but saw Yu Ling's cheeks were swollen.
"What's going on? Who hit you? Is it the emperor?" Su Yan quickly grabbed Yu Ling and asked.
Yuling quickly shook her head and changed the subject: "This is my new Baihua Cake, sister, try it..."
"Tell me, who beat your master?" Su Yan refused.
Yu Ling's maid immediately said angrily to Su Yan: "When I paid my respects to the Queen this morning, the imperial concubine said that young master Su Yan should be relegated to the cold palace because of his evil thoughts. My master was so angry that she couldn't even explain a few words, so she ordered someone to slap him."
So arrogant and domineering!
The sharp nails pierced the palms of his hands, and Su Yan gritted his teeth: "Yuling, I want to see the emperor."
The imperial concubine was so powerful that they could only stay dormant temporarily, supporting each other to strengthen themselves, and patiently waiting for the opportunity to trample others under their feet.
Yuling stared at Su Yan and nodded gently.
The opportunity came soon. The Queen Mother was seriously ill and her condition did not improve for many days. People in the harem were panicked.
Su Yan went to the Buddhist hall and slashed her wrist with a dagger in front of the Buddha statue. Blood flowed like a stream. She knelt on the futon with a brush in hand and copied the scriptures stroke by stroke to pray for the Queen Mother.
Hua family.
In the screening room, Hua An shook his head and sighed, the light of the movie illuminating his slightly cloudy eyes.
"There are some things that Yuling can't say and can only be told by the maid. She is stirring up hatred between the imperial concubine and Su Yan, and then reaps the benefits."
"Those who achieve great things must not only be ruthless to others, but also ruthless to themselves. This woman is not a creature of the pond."
Mistakenly thinking that Hua An was teaching them through TV, the boss of the Hua family had a serious look on his face, carefully savoring every word and action of the heroine. The third child, Hua Fan, didn't even listen to what the old man said and started posting comments online.
[Damn, it looks so painful. The heroine is so cruel, no wonder she can become the heroine. 】
[Housewife, please stop hurting yourself first, there is a villain next to you, be careful of Yuling. 】
[Thanks to Director Jing, my IQ has been improving by leaps and bounds recently. 】
[Don’t Yuling hate the heroine? Why do you want to help her regain her favor? 】
[Because she wants to use Su Yan’s hand to get rid of the imperial concubine. Mom, I know how to fight in the palace! 】
Just as the audience guessed, Yuling found a way to spread the news about Su Yan using blood to copy scriptures. The emperor was worried about the Queen Mother and rushed to the Buddhist hall after hearing the news.
Su Yan placed the blood sutra in the fire pot and watched the flames lick the sutra and turn it into ashes little by little. She bowed her head hard in front of the Buddha statue and muttered: "God is above me, I am a believer who is willing to trade the rest of my life for the Queen Mother." Your Majesty is in good health..."
The emperor was very shocked. Not only that, the Queen Mother's condition was getting better day by day, which convinced the Emperor and Queen Mother that Su Yan was a blessed person.
In the name of serving the disease, the emperor named Su Yan the imperial concubine Yan. Seeing that Su Yan was promoted so quickly, the imperial concubine no longer embarrassed the pretty Yu Ling, but instead started to target Su Yan.
On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the concubines in the harem need to pay their respects to the Queen.
"Hey, I came a little late today. I hope the queen can atone for her sins." The woman with emerald hair took off her cloak and walked in. She gave a hasty salute to the queen and sat down without waiting for the queen to call out.
Seeing Su Yan stand up and salute her, the woman whose status was second only to the queen slowly raised her eyebrows: "Sister Su Yan, you have become paler after not seeing each other for a few days. You and Yu Ling are worthy of being good sisters who entered the palace together. I feel pity for your temperament." They look more and more alike, just like looking in a mirror.”
Yuling, who was sitting under Su Yan, silently tightened her handkerchief.
"However, Sister Yuling has the appearance of the Goddess of Luo, and her appearance is so charming that people can't help but feel pity for her. Sister Suyan is as elegant as camellia after the rain. I prefer your calm temper."
This is a mockery of Su Yan's mediocre appearance and imitation of others. If it were an ordinary person, his face would have changed drastically, but Su Yan's expression was calm: "Thank you for the reminder, my sister, my sister has learned a lesson."
The imperial concubine who was playing with the tea paused and slowly narrowed her eyes.
There was deathly silence in the palace, and many concubines subconsciously held their breath and squeezed their handkerchiefs.
[It’s so scary. The imperial concubine’s aura is so strong, and the heroine’s aura is not weak either. 】
[The feeling of meeting an opponent in chess is even more terrifying than the tit-for-tat confrontation between Song Rong and Xu Xin that day. 】
[No, no, no, why should he fight to the death for an old man? 】
[Laughing, a few days ago you praised Sheng Tao as a handsome young man, why have you turned into an old man now? 】
There are seven episodes in total in The Palace. In the first four episodes, the audience thought that the women in the harem competed for favors to win the emperor's favor. In the next three episodes, Yu Jing revealed the most fundamental reason through struggle.
"Sister, the imperial concubine is very powerful in the palace, and we are no match for her." Yu Ling was not as resourceful as Su Yan, which was why she provoked a fight between Su Yan and the imperial concubine.
Su Yan asked calmly: "If the harem doesn't work, what about the front dynasty?"
Yuling was thoughtful.
