After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 159: Wei Dao Recommends Someone to You
Although Jiang Lingxi really wanted to take that little box exposing her dark history back, she quickly realized that this idea was unrealistic.
So scrolls were here, but other items like the cricket cage, small wooden sword, and round fan were all taken for research by experts in different fields. Even the little box had to be studied for its wood, the chanical lock, and the patterns on it. In short, everything was divided up.
She could only let it go.
Fortunately, on the scrolls, she hadn’t scribbled randomly but had serious calligraphy practice pieces. Although the handwriting was a bit immature, it wasn’t really a dark history.
After confirming that the words on the scrolls were indeed written by Emperor Yuan Zhao, Old Wang promptly changed his tone: "Upon closer inspection, though the strokes are a bit immature and slightly stiff in transitions, they already reveal initial elegance and contain an inner majesty, making it a worthy piece from his youth."
Seeing his expression, Jiang Lingxi was also convinced that he was sincere when he said this.
After the appraisal, before leaving, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but ask, "Director Fu, how will the museum handle this new discovery later on?"
Fu Yunchen replied without hesitation, "The antiques left by Emperor Yuan Zhao for future generations are really too few, arguably the fewest among several emperors in history. Although the items discovered this ti are from Emperor Yuan Zhao’s childhood, after proper restoration and protection, they will most likely be exhibited to fill the gap in the collection related to Emperor Yuan Zhao."
Jiang Lingxi nearly blacked out, unable to fathom it.
She had collected and used quite a few items and had produced several decent calligraphy and painting works. How could only so few things have been left behind? Could they all have been destroyed in the thousand-year-long historical stream?
But if they were destroyed, they couldn’t have only destroyed hers, right? Or perhaps it was due to so future emperors disliking a woman who had been emperor, which seed sowhat plausible.
Even after leaving Yinhe Palace, Jiang Lingxi’s mind was still filled with unanswered questions.

Xiyuan, Zen courtyard.
Wu Jue withdrew his fingers from Shen Yunqing’s wrist, "Your pulse this ti is much better compared to last ti." Then with a change in tone, he continued, "However, there’s so hesitation on your face. Is sothing making you feel conflicted? Does it have to do with Her Majesty?"
Apart from that person, he couldn’t think of anyone else in the world who could make the person in front of him feel conflicted.
"You can’t keep anything from you." Shen Yunqing shook his sleeves and nodded in acknowledgnt, "Her Majesty introduced to a part-ti job today."
"A part-ti job?" Wu Jue was montarily stunned, "You still need to do part-ti work?"
"Her Majesty plans to play the lead role in ’The Empress Yuan Zhao,’ which is herself. The male lead in the crew hasn’t been decided for a long ti. She probably thinks I fit the role, so she asked if I would like to play Shen Moqing."
"Pfft, cough cough!"
Wu Jue couldn’t care less about maintaining his image as a high monk and burst into laughter, even to the point of coughing.
It took him a while to regain composure, "Indeed, there’s no one more suitable than the two of you to play the male and female leads in this drama. So, you’re worried that..."
Shen Yunqing nodded, "I’m afraid I’ll act too much like myself, raising Her Majesty’s suspicions. But when I think about having soone else play Shen Moqing," he tapped lightly on his chest, "I feel a bit uncomfortable watching their harmonious ruler-minister relationship in the drama."
After all, he would certainly watch the TV show starring his own Majesty once it aired.
Wu Jue adjusted to a comfortable position and observed the person sitting opposite him with great interest.
He recognized the forr Dayin Pri Minister Shen Moqing, strategic and decisive.
He also recognized the current business tycoon Shen Yunqing, sharp and cunning.
However, seeing him so indecisive was quite rare.
Indeed, whether it was Shen Moqing from the past life or Shen Yunqing from this life, once they encountered Her Majesty, they had to experience the tornt of entangled emotions.
After enjoying the scene enough, he pointed out, "Do you think Her Majesty’s keen mind would never detect anything amiss? Unless you let go and stay completely away from her world. Otherwise, the longer you’re around her, the more you expose yourself to her."
Shen Yunqing was silent for a while, "I’m indeed deceiving myself."
He suddenly rembered when Her Majesty asked for the Shen Family’s genealogy. Perhaps she had already suspected a connection between him and Shen Moqing back then.
Maybe she hadn’t linked him to being Shen Moqing, but she might have speculated he could be a descendant of Shen Moqing.
Additionally, with this part-ti invitation, Her Majesty wouldn’t ask soone who wasn’t an actor for no reason.
"Alright, I know what to do now."
Ultimately, leaving was impossible.
Jiang Lingxi received a ssage from Shen Yunqing when she was about to read a book and go to bed after dinner.
"Miss Jiang, could you please provide the contact information of the director of ’The Empress Yuan Zhao’ crew?"
After reading this ssage, two words flashed in Jiang Lingxi’s mind: There’s a chance!
She replied, "Wait a mont."
Then she closed her book and called Wei Minmin.
Although Tong Yue had the contact for ’The Empress Yuan Zhao’ as well, it was linked to a work account. When it ca to delivering ssages, no one was faster than Wei Minmin.
Wei Minmin, indeed a ten-level online surfing champion, responded within seconds of receiving the ssage: "Sister Xi, what’s up?"
Jiang Lingxi got straight to the point, "I want Director Wei’s contact information, the one that reaches him directly. I have a candidate for the male lead to recomnd to him."
Upon receiving the ssage, Wei Minmin imdiately ran to the study to show it to her uncle, who was still working.
After pondering for a few seconds, Wei Xiao nodded.
Currently, the choice for the male lead is his biggest headache, so making an exception once wouldn’t hurt.
What if the recomnded person turned out to be suitable?
"Share my personal number with her."
Once Jiang Lingxi received the number, she forwarded it to Shen Yunqing, got a ’Received’ reply, and then turned off her phone screen, resuming her book.
Next would be the communication between Shen Yunqing and Director Wei. She saw herself as playing the role of a middleman, and whether or not it worked out would depend on their mutual satisfaction.
Wei Xiao watched as his niece sent his number and then sat beside him waiting. He initially thought he would first receive a friend request from Jiang Lingxi’s side, given that there were many people in the circle wanting to add him; it seed unlikely that girl would miss such an opportunity.
But after so minutes passed without any notification, he was about to put away his phone when it finally vibrated in his hand.
Opening the friend request notification, he checked the note first, and upon recognizing the na, he was montarily stunned.
"Did she add the wrong person?"
Wei Minmin, who hadn’t left either, was curious about who Sister Xi recomnded, and imdiately leaned over, reading, "Hello, Director Wei, I’m Shen Yunqing. Is there a male actor nad Shen Yunqing in the industry? But the na does sound quite nice."
Wei Xiao regained his composure amidst his niece’s self-talk, saying, "There isn’t one in the entertainnt circle, but there is one in the business world. But it could also be soone with the sa na, yes, it’s probably just soone with the sa na."
After all, why would that person leave a good business behind to co act in a drama?
With that, he decided to approve the application.
But to be cautious, he still sent a ssage to confirm: "Hello, I’m Wei Xiao. Are you the one recomnded by Jiang Lingxi to audition for the role of Shen Moqing?"
Upon seeing the "Yes" reply, Wei Xiao finally sighed in relief.
So it was just soone with the sa na after all.
But soon a ssage ca through, "I heard a recent photo is needed for the audition, I’ll take one and send it to you."
Wei Xiao just typed ’Okay’ and hadn’t hit send yet when a photo appeared in the chat.
He enlarged the picture, which took over the entire screen.
In an elegantly styled study, under a warm yellow light, a man in a moon-white long robe sat facing the cara, slightly nodding.
Despite the calm gaze, at that mont, it was as if he was looking directly through the photo, almost as if he were there in person.
Wei Minmin’s eyes sparkled with little stars, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow! Isn’t this Shen Moqing himself? Where did Sister Xi find this aristocratic young man?"
Wei Xiao was once again shocked into a stupor, "It really is him!"
Is it becoming a trend for big shots to get into acting now?
