"Uh... that’s true indeed."
"And hey, Uncle is a student from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Imperial Capital Medical University, topping his class in every exam!"
"Oh? Really? Then this little girl is truly amazing. The standards for Medical University are very high, and you didn’t get in."
The little girl suddenly lost the urge to speak and curled up on the couch, retreating into her shell.
As the opening song of the fifth episode began, the old and young alike were once again immersed in the story.
It wasn’t until the sixth episode began that Tang Shu’s figure appeared. When the emperor’s imperial decree was delivered to the Zhou residence by a chief eunuch, Zhou Jingruo, played by Tang Shu, slowly approached and came into the audience’s view.
On screen, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl dressed in a lotus-colored gauze shirt had a willowy figure. Her long hair was gently tied with a silver ribbon, her face was stunningly beautiful, almost too dazzling to look at, and she carried herself with a resolute and confident air.
Is this the daughter of the Zhou family?
The audience in front of the television felt a breath of fresh air as they internally exclaimed, "This is the true definition of a noble daughter, a lady from a prominent family!"
"This girl, she has such a good appearance!"
The old lady expressed her surprise, her wise eyes full of appreciation.
"Indeed, indeed, not only is this little girl beautiful, but her temperament is natural. If it’s not good acting, it must be her innate temperament."
"Right? Right? My Uncle is awesome!"
The old lady nodded, "If she is the one in charge of props and etiquette guidance, then I truly have no doubts."
One can see a person’s upbringing through their temperament, and thus infer their character. Having lived to such an age, the old lady trusted her own judgment in this regard.
"Having an idol like her, I’m very comforted. Learn well from her."
The little girl who had a basketful of praise prepared was instantly at a loss for words.
Is that it, it’s over?
Zhou Jingruo’s role stood out among the seasoned actors in "Corridor Pavilion," catching the audience’s attention even more than the Crown Prince.
After the sixth episode aired, the number of bullet comments and online reviews started to grow slowly, with many people taking a liking to this character.
"This future Crown Princess Consort is quite interesting, so pretty!"
"It’s not just about being pretty, okay? It’s about temperament! How is it that Tang Shu wearing traditional costume feels even more authentic than in modern clothes?"
"You’re not wrong; Zhou Jingruo actually seems different from Shen Siyi. I thought it was just my imagination!"
"One is a classic lady of the nobility from ancient times, the other is a modern-day noble daughter. Is it really just a change of clothes that makes such a difference?"
"Emmm, I just want to say the Crown Prince is so damn lucky!"
"To the one in front, that’s exactly how I feel. With such a beautiful woman by his side, who needs the land and the mountains?"
"Life is not worth it, Crown Prince, hang in there, I advise you not to court death!"
"I advise you not to court death +1"
It’s widely known that in "Corridor Pavilion," the role of the Crown Prince has a predetermined fate, doomed to die in the struggle for succession. Precisely because of this, the audience was even more moved when watching this episode.
As a result, countless netizens left the message "I advise you not to court death" in the bullet comments for the sixth episode, rapidly making it a trending phrase.
As for Tang Shu, she no longer had the energy to care about all this, for Luo Lin, who hadn’t visited in a long while, brought her news that was truly not very good.
