After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 132: It Turns Out Her Majesty the Empress is Confident and Narcissistic

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: It Turns Out Her Majesty the Empress is Confident and Narcissistic

Jiang Lingxi was momentarily dumbfounded by Tong Yue’s genius suggestion, then heard Shen Yunqing beside her ask with some uncertainty, "Did you just say, Empress Yuan Zhao?"

Jiang Lingxi came back to her senses and realized that she had unconsciously said the name of the drama, so she nodded, "It’s the title of the new drama I’m auditioning for tomorrow, called ’Empress Yuan Zhao’."

Repeating those four words, Jiang Lingxi still felt quite amazed.

She never thought that in this later age, there would be people specifically remaking the history that existed in her past life.

But since someone is remaking it, it indicates that during her reign, there were deeds worth remembering or praising by future generations.

Otherwise, why spend so much effort and energy filming such a TV series?

This confidence she still had.

However, it would really be nice for those stubborn old critics who spent their lives criticizing her for becoming an emperor as a woman to see that her achievements are recognized by later generations.

It’s a pity they can’t see their ashamed old faces now!

Shen Yunqing squinted slightly, thoughtfully analyzing, "Since it’s called ’Empress Yuan Zhao,’ then the heroine of this drama should be the famous Emperor Yuan Zhao in history. Are you planning to audition for the female lead?"

Jiang Lingxi pulled her thoughts back from her reverie and pursed her lips at these words.

If she didn’t know what Director Wei’s new drama was about before, she would have thought any role was fine, even if she had to cross-dress for a male role.

But now that she knows it’s her past life being remade, she’s determined to get this lead role.

It’s not that she can’t accept someone else playing her, but she believes no one knows her better than herself.

If someone else acts unlike her, it would make her uncomfortable to watch, so she might as well take this opportunity to be herself again from her past life.

So she simply nodded, "Yes." Then she thought of how Shen Yunqing had referred to her as the famous Emperor Yuan Zhao and felt amused, "Do you have a study of Emperor Yuan Zhao?"

Shen Yunqing acted as if he hadn’t noticed her inner amusement and replied sincerely, "I admire her very much."

"Why?" Jiang Lingxi asked, pricking up her ears.

Shen Yunqing pretended not to notice and took this opportunity to say what he had wanted to tell her in his last life, "To ascend the throne as a woman was not easy, with much opposition in the world, yet she did not hold grudges after claiming the throne. She appointed people regardless of their origin, allowing talents to abound in the court. Burning the midnight oil, she brought clarity to the court and won the admiration of all people. She even led multiple campaigns herself, granting the border people a century of peace. It’s just a pity..."

Jiang Lingxi was listening intently and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the pity?"

"It’s a pity she left so early."

He never even had the chance to see her one last time!

Shen Yunqing restrained himself from looking into those eyes before him; thankfully, he found another way to wait for her return.

Jiang Lingxi could hear he was truly saddened by this, although she didn’t quite understand why he grieved so much for an emperor who passed away a thousand years ago. Yet, being praised made her happy, so she didn’t mind using her current body to offer some comfort, "From another perspective, maybe she just felt tired and wanted to rest."

Shen Yunqing’s fingers tightened abruptly on his knee, creating wrinkles in the smooth fabric of his pants, "What Miss Jiang said makes sense. Now I don’t feel as much regret."

Then he seemingly nonchalantly asked, "It seems Miss Jiang also knows Emperor Yuan Zhao very well?"

"Of course, of all the emperors throughout history, she’s my favorite. Not just because she’s also a woman like me, but because she did an amazing job as an emperor."

Shen Yunqing: "..."

He barely held back from bursting into laughter.

He always knew Her Majesty was confident, but he didn’t realize she was also this... narcissistic!

Until there were two rhythmic knocks from the front barrier, which slowly lowered, and Zhao Hu’s voice came through from the front, "Boss, madam, we’ve arrived."

Jiang Lingxi then noticed that the view outside the car window was already at the residential building where she lived.

"Alright, I’ll head up."

"I wish you success at the audition tomorrow."

"That’s a given."

Jiang Lingxi waved happily at Shen Yunqing.

Just because this person admired her so much in her past life, there’s no way she could let him down!

But Tong Yue couldn’t dare think like that.

Early the next day, Tong Yue and Lu Zhengzheng hurried to Jiang Lingxi’s place.

Afraid that Jiang Lingxi wasn’t up yet, she initially intended to use her fingerprint to unlock and enter but was stopped by Lu Zhengzheng.

"Sister Tong, Sister Tong, don’t rush, knock first, knock first."

Tong Yue had to cooperate by knocking on the door first and then frowned, asking, "Didn’t you register your fingerprint?"

"Oh, the situation is different now than before. Sister Tong, I forgot to tell you, when I came yesterday to bring clothes to Sister Xixi, do you know who opened the door for me?"

"Who?"

"It was Mr. Shen."

Tong Yue first nodded, then realized and froze, exclaiming in surprise, "Mr. Shen was at Xiao Xi’s place?"

Lu Zhengzheng nodded like a pecking chick.

Tong Yue quickly looked down to assess her attire for the day, ensuring it was brand new and tidy before relaxing a bit, "Could it be that Mr. Shen moved here to live?"

This time Lu Zhengzheng didn’t have the time to reply because the door in front of them opened. fгeewebnovёl.com

Jiang Lingxi provided an answer, "No. Yesterday my parents moved house, he came here to pick me up, so we could help together. Come in!"

Tong Yue stepped inside, and after confirming there was no sign of a man having been in the room, she relaxed her somewhat anxious heart, "Have you finished your morning routine? We brought breakfast; we’ll eat and then head out."

"I just brushed my teeth."

"Then go wash your face; we’ll set breakfast on the table first."

They went into the kitchen, where Tong Yue immediately noticed a few pieces of simple yet elegant tableware on the cupboard, which did not match the style of other dining sets, and picked them up to use later, "The taste in tableware has improved, but why not buy a complete set?"

Lu Zhengzheng glanced at the tableware in Tong Yue’s hand and opened her mouth, "Sister Tong, if I’m not mistaken, the tableware you’re holding should have been brought by Mr. Shen."

Tong Yue: "..."

The person isn’t here, but the tableware is; what kind of new form of cohabitation is this?

Lu Zhengzheng added as an afterthought, "Mr. Shen brought breakfast to Sister Xixi yesterday, delivering both the food box and tableware, which he didn’t take back after using."

Tong Yue: "..."

Honestly, it’s hard for her to imagine him showing up with a food box, knocking on the door early in the morning to deliver breakfast.

Or is he planning to gradually invade Xiaoxi’s life this way?
