Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Chapter 300: Finally seeing the light

No matter how cleverly Gongmen Zhiren and Zhenggong Palace Master came up with their plans, they were unable to get the commemorative picture of the dark history back from Zhang Xueming. Instead, they gave her more materials.

The two brothers watched her inspiration strike and she wrote as if possessed by god, producing four-frame comics one after another with Q version of Gong Shangjiao and Q version of Gong Yuanzheng as the protagonists. All they could do was stare blankly, not even daring to go up and grab the pen as they might be met with violent suppression.

Zhang Xueming finished drawing the funny things the two brothers did today, but he was still not satisfied, so he dug up old things from his memory to draw, such as someone's revenge eating, someone's younger brother snatching food from them, and both of them secretly touching their stomachs after eating too much.

Gong Shangjiao looked at the adorable self in the four-frame comic, his chubby-faced brother, and his sister who was responsible for complaining. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then quickly straightened them, and pretended to be angry and picked up a painting as if to tear it up.

He failed to scare Zhang Xueming, but instead frightened Gong Yuanzheng so much that he snatched the painting away and put his hands behind his back, blocking Zhang Xueming in the process.

Gong Yuanzheng smiled at him flatteringly: "Brother, don't be angry. Zhao Zhao has already drawn it. It would be a shame to tear it up."

He flicked his fingers behind his back, signaling Zhang Xueming to take the paintings and hide them quickly, saying, "If brother doesn't like it, just pretend it never happened. Don't worry, I will keep these paintings safe and will not let anyone else see them. I promise."

Gong Shangjiao's pupils trembled, and he blurted out what was in his mind: "Yuan Zheng, your abacus beads fell on my face!"

He didn't have time to pretend to be angry, and demanded confidently: "Zhao Zhao, you can't just draw one copy. You and Yuan Zheng have one copy, and you have to give me one too."

This time it was Gong Yuanzheng's turn to have his pupils tremble: "Brother, you have changed. Didn't you dislike these 'flashy and meaningless' things the most before?"

"You will also say that it was in the past. How can the me before be the same as the me now?" Gong Shangjiao replied calmly, and counterattacked: "I didn't have a sister before, but now I have one. Can the paintings drawn by my sister be flashy and meaningless?"

Gong Yuanzheng was outmaneuvered and turned around to ask for help aggrievedly: "Zhao Zhao~"

Zhang Xueming raised his hand and touched his face with a smile, then picked up his pen to add another fresh painting.

This is what she enjoys most. Just adding line drawings and dialogues is enough, and it’s easy and enjoyable.

Gong Yuanzheng puffed up his cheeks and dared not make any more noise. If he continued to make noise, the jokes provided today alone would fill two books.

Zhang Xueming had seen enough of the fun, so he really copied a copy for Gong Shangjiao, and even bound it and added a cover, one copy for each of them.

Even though it was a collection of dark history paintings, it was still a gift. The two brothers were so happy that they were floating as they walked.

Afterwards, Gong Yuanzheng murmured to Zhang Xueming: "Looking at my brother like this, he probably didn't receive many gifts made by his family when he was a child... I thought he was very popular in the Jiao Palace."

"Being favored and being valued are two different things. My brother, like you, was trained as the heir to the first palace, and the heir must be strictly required." Zhang Xueming said, "But from what my brother said about the past, I can see that his parents have tried their best to treat him equally. If there is a younger son, then the older brother will not be left out."

"I understand. I just think my brother is happier now. No one asks him to do anything. He can tell us directly what he wants and what he likes."

Zhang Xueming no longer said anything like "You are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish?" He nodded and said, "Brother is very cute when he is willful."

Gong Yuanzheng immediately became alert: "Are you as cute as me?"

Zhang Xueming was also very convinced by this jealous young man: "No, Ayuan is the cutest in my eyes, no one else."

Satisfied, Gong Yuanzheng put down the work in his hands, recorded the research progress truthfully, and reported it to her in detail again.

He didn't need Zhang Xueming to catch him, he just sat on the beauty couch obediently, took off his shoes and socks, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, his clear eyes full of expectation: "When I wake up tomorrow, will I be able to see Zhao Zhao the first thing I see?"

Only then did Zhang Xueming understand why this big baby would rather stay up late than go to sleep.

Her heart softened, and she helped him take off the little bell, untied his braids, and removed his headband. Looking at Gong Yuanzheng, who seemed to have matured a lot with his hair loose, she kissed his forehead and solemnly assured him, "I am always here."

……

In Shang Gong's research room, Gong Zishang was silently crying in front of a robe hanging on a floor-length coat rack.

It was a new gown with a dark red color close to black. Plum blossoms were embroidered on the shoulders, waist and skirt of the gown, and the edges were outlined with gold thread, which sparkled under the light.

The playboy came out from behind the huge wooden puppet. Seeing this, he quickly jumped down and circled around her: "Why are you crying, Miss? Don't you like this dress?"

"Stop talking nonsense. How could I not like it? I'm crying with joy. Look, this is the battle robe that Zhaozhao made for me in the needlework room. Tomorrow I will wear it to the Blade Hall and officially take over the Shang Palace." Gong Zishang grinned and raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from his face.

The playboy hurriedly handed over a light blue handkerchief.

Gong Zishang didn't hesitate to take it and wiped it. After wiping it, he shook the corner of the handkerchief twice and asked suspiciously, "Why is it so fragrant?"

The playboy proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "I soaked this in plum blossom juice overnight. It has a fragrant plum blossom scent, right?"

Gong Zishang narrowed his eyes and said, "Tsk tsk, Xiao Hei, you are a grown man and you use a scented handkerchief."

The playboy took out another similar handkerchief from his pocket, his handsome face slightly reddened, and he didn't look at her: "Don't you like it? I saw that you always forgot to bring a handkerchief, so I soaked one for you with a new handkerchief..."

"Eh, it's a gift?" Gong Zishang's eyes lit up, but then he curled his lips in disdain, "The gift is just a handkerchief? You're too stingy."

"There's nothing good in the Hua Palace. I wanted to make a set of jewelry for you. But my father severely beat me up for using meteorite metal to make a bracelet for Xiaoyue without permission, and he forbade me to open the furnace..." Mr. Hua lowered his head in embarrassment. When he mentioned Mr. Yue, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Gong Zishang waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. Your kindness is more important than anything else." He thanked her seriously, "It was just a joke before. Tomorrow is my big day. Xiao Hei, remember to come and congratulate me. I'm very happy."

Only then did Hua Gongzi change his worry into joy. He came over and sat next to her, holding his face and looking at the robe with longing: "Tomorrow you will wear this to the Blade Hall, you will definitely look majestic and beautiful... Miss Zhao is really considerate."

Gong Zishang turned his head alertly and threatened: "No matter how considerate you are, you are already taken. Don't covet my sister, okay? The poison I prepared for my brother Yuanzheng is no joke."

"No, no, how dare I have any thoughts about Miss Zhao!"

The playboy glanced at the girl with lively eyes and eyebrows beside him, and his ears turned red.

"Miss Zhao is indeed beautiful and considerate, but she is too strong. She can fight and see through people's hearts. The elders don't dare to speak loudly to her. She is quite scary."

Gong Zishang was immediately unhappy: "Hey, what do you mean by too strong and scary? Xiao Hei, can you speak? We beauties are so powerful! We should be so powerful!"

She opened her arms, posing as if to show off her biceps, and raised her face so that her nostrils were about to point to the sky: "Women are no worse than men, so why can't they be stronger than men? I am also a woman, and I can still lead the Shang Palace to become bigger and stronger, and return to the top position among the four palaces!"

The playboy, who had made repeated mistakes, was very upset. He apologized and clarified, saying that he absolutely had no intention of looking down on women. It was with great difficulty that he managed to appease Gong Zishang.

Gong Zishang did not plan to do any experiments tonight. He was worried about tomorrow's succession ceremony and couldn't sleep, so he got together with Hua Gongzi to talk.

Hua Gongzi asked her, "The Palace Master's token was confiscated, but your father didn't make a fuss?"

"He can make a scene whenever he wants, but now no one listens to him."

How can a criminal who attempted to help Gong Huanyu seize the throne and usurp power be qualified to continue living in the main courtyard and enjoying a luxurious life if he cannot atone for his sins like Gong Huanyu did?

The punishment document signed by Zhi Ren and the Council of Elders stated that "imprisonment in another courtyard" was required. As soon as the document arrived, the Huang Yu servants helped Gong Liushang move without hesitation.

Not only did they move from the main courtyard to a remote courtyard in a corner of the Shang Palace, but they also specially assigned six green jade servants to guard it in three shifts. The servants serving in the courtyard were replaced every month, and once they entered, they had to stay there for a full month, not allowed to step out of the gate, and all daily necessities had to be checked by the green jade servants before they could be delivered.

The official document also clearly required Gong Zishang to "visit her parents outside the courtyard every morning and evening, not to be filial and foolish, and not to damage her body and hair." Even Gong Liushang couldn't find anyone to bully her when he wanted to find an excuse to bully her.

"Do you need me to teach your brother a lesson? I heard from Jin Tong that he wanted to hit you this morning." The playboy rubbed his hands in a pretentious manner.

The bastard son of Shang Palace was ordered to be sent to Hua Palace for education and study. Hua Palace was full of men from top to bottom, and no one would spoil him just because he was young.

Gong Zishang recalled that in the morning, Jin Tong from the Council of Elders came to take someone away, grabbed her half-brother by the back of the collar, and carried him away like a chicken. A big, comfortable smile broke out on her face.

"No need. You talk to Elder Hua and ask him to arrange a master to teach him well. I'm waiting for him to learn well and come to help me."

The flower boy curled his lips and said, "You are too kind, young lady. He bullied you so much in the past, but you didn't care."

Kind? Gong Zishang lowered her eyes and smiled, not saying anything. She had no idea that at this moment, she and her cousin Gong Shangjiao had very similar expressions at certain times.

She had already discovered clues from the attitudes of Zhang Xueming and the others.

The golden phoenix with full wings is only resting temporarily at the small palace gate; sooner or later it will spread its wings and fly high.

If the Golden Phoenix leaves, Gong Yuanzheng will definitely follow. Gong Shangjiao doesn't seem to want to stay in the Old Dust Valley any longer, and Gong Huanyu doesn't have any idea about the position of Gong Men Zhi Jian now...

Everyone wants to go out into the vast world and explore the world. Doesn't she want to?

It won't take long to revitalize the Shang Palace. Once her gunpowder weapons are successfully developed, the Shang Palace will be the undisputed number one palace. All she has to do next is wait, wait for someone to take over the Shang Palace...

When the time comes, my father will get what he wants and he will be very happy, and she will be very happy too.

A strange curve appeared at the corner of Gong Zishang's mouth.

If Zhang Xueming was present and saw her smile at this moment, he would definitely say, "Blood ties are truly magical. You and A Yuan are indeed siblings."

……

"...Gong Zishang, the legitimate daughter of the Shang Palace, is extremely sincere and filial. She has managed the Shang Palace on behalf of her father for more than ten years, and has made no mistakes in any of the affairs, big or small, and has spared no effort in assisting the palace. She is hereby ordered by the Palace Master of the Shang Palace to take the position of Palace Master."

Elder Hua's powerful voice echoed throughout the Blade Hall.

Gong Zishang, wearing a dark red robe embroidered with gold-edged plum blossoms, walked forward steadily, bent down, raised his hands above his head, respectfully took the black iron token of the Lord of Shang Palace, and returned to his original position.

Gong Shangjiao, in a black robe with golden threads, sat on the high platform, handsome and majestic: "Inform the whole palace of this news immediately, and there must be no mistakes."

Elder Xue agreed and went out to give orders to Huang Yushi who was kneeling outside the door waiting.

When everything was over, Gong Zishang hurriedly handed the token to Zhang Xueming: "Zhao Zhao, please help me check if this token needs to be cleaned."

Of course they have to be cleaned. They are all products of Hua Palace made of black iron and meteorite copper.

Zhang Xueming quickly used his coercion to wash it back: "Congratulations, big sister."

"Congratulations." Gong Zishang took it with confidence, touched the big seal character "Shang" in the center of the token, hung it around his waist, and planned to turn around with his arms open to ask Zhang Xueming if he liked it.

He had only turned halfway when he was pushed aside by the anxious Elders Xue and Hua.

Zhang Xueming had just cleaned up the tokens of the two palaces in the back mountain and the tokens of the Moon Palace when Jin Tong and a Huang Yu servant came in from outside the door carrying several large boxes. When they opened them, they were full of long swords, short swords and hidden weapons.

Elder Hua said sheepishly: "There are quite a lot of problematic weapons and equipment in the back mountain. I can only trouble Xiao Zhaozhao..."

Elder Xue stroked his beard shyly: "Zhao Zhao, can you spare some time to go to the back mountain to take a look? Not long ago, that thing suddenly released a large amount of toxins, and its hallucinogenic ability was also enhanced. A guard on duty was disabled, and the anti-toxin effect of Baicaocu was also weakened by half..."

Elder Hua's face changed and he looked at Elder Xue in surprise. His lips moved but no sound came out. However, it was obvious that he did not agree with Elder Xue's proposal.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng stood in front of Zhang Xueming on the left and right.

Gong Shangjiao smiled, but his tone was indifferent: "Zhao Zhao was seriously injured this time, and she has not been able to find a way to relieve the symptoms of vomiting blood. No matter how powerful she is, she is not made of iron. What do you think, Elder Xue?"

Gong Yuanzheng also smiled: "Zhao Zhao and I have been working together to develop a new version of Baicaocu, and we have not slept for several nights. We are the youngest in the palace, but the lives of our clan members are all on us. Elder Xue doesn't feel sorry for us?"

Gong Zishang went around and hugged Zhang Xueming's arm, then leaned out from the side and said earnestly, "Elder Xue, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You have endured for decades, but now you don't even have the patience to wait for Zhao Zhao to recover?"

Gong Ziyu also came to watch the ceremony as a representative of Yu Palace. Seeing this trend, he stood beside Gong Yuanzheng, just blocking Gong Zishang's head: "My sister is right. Elder Xue, without Miss Zhao, we might still be trapped in the illusion. It was not Miss Zhao who caused the thing to mutate and injure the guards. In Miss Zhao's condition, if she rashly went to the back mountain, if her injuries worsened, who would be responsible?"

Elder Xue was so upset by their blockade that his face turned ugly. Seeing that Gong Ziyu, whom he once loved, also stood on the opposite side, he angrily turned his sleeves and left, but he did not dare to say anything harsh.

Elder Hua sighed helplessly: "Okay, I know you are united. You are not wrong, there is no point in rushing about that thing."

They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Cleaning weapons and equipment was a small matter, so Zhang Xueming did not refuse. After she finished cleaning, Elder Hua told them cryptically: "That method works. You don't even need to use the sarcophagus. Just catch it with a net, tie it up with iron chains, and send it into the lava spring. Once the head is gone, it won't move. But I was worried, so I melted it all."

Several young people gave him a thumbs-up in unison, and Elder Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "After so many years, we finally see the light of day."
