Chapter 174: The empress turns on

 It will be June soon, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.

The air conditioner in the hall is on all day long, but because there are so many people and there are various trainings to be done, many people are still sweating profusely due to the heat.

Seeing Wei Minmin gasping and narrowly escaping from the martial arts instructor, Jiang Lingxi handed over the ice-cold mineral water that she had just unscrewed the cap.

 “Thank you, thank you.” Wei Minmin took the cup and drank a few big sips. Sweat fell from her face on her white training clothes, “It’s great!”

 Looking down, she saw that Jiang Lingxi was wearing the same style of training clothes as hers, with the top button buttoned quite rigorously. She couldn't help but be speechless, "Aren't you hot like this?"

Jiang Lingxi straightened her collar, "It's okay."

With sharp eyes, Wei Minmin noticed a flash of red on the side of her fair neck, "Is your neck injured?"

"No."

"Then I saw a red mark just now," she said without looking out and stretched out her hand to confirm. But when she reached out, a red rope was drawn out, and the things tied to the red rope were also attached to her. Pulled it out accidentally.

“It turns out to be a pendant. I was shocked. I thought I had strained your neck when we were sparring. But your pendant is quite unique, and it seems to have words engraved on it.”

Jiang Lingxi took the pendant back from her hand and stuffed it back into her collar, "Your hands are still sweaty, don't touch it."

"Such a treasure, could it be..." Wei Minmin teased, but before she could finish her words, she met Jiang Lingxi's leisurely eyes and swallowed back the words immediately, "Ahem Well, pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Jiang Lingxi’s eyes fell on Wei Minmin’s shoulders.

Jiang Xiyu, who was practicing walking while carrying a tray with books on his head, unexpectedly met Jiang Lingxi's looking eyes. His hands shook and he almost dropped several pieces of porcelain on the tray. He quickly looked away and walked away.

Naturally, I didn’t see the man not far behind me slightly curling his lower lip.

Jiang Lingxi began to make preparations after assuming that Jiang Xiyu wanted to find something from her.

She wasn't sure what item Jiang Xiyu was looking for, so she simply had plenty of contact time now, so she tried them one by one.

 She wanted to pick a time to expose her without leaving any trace, but she didn't expect Wei Minmin to help her unintentionally.

 Now it depends on whether Jiang Xiyu will take any action.

 If it’s not right, then change it again.

 In this regard, Lu Zhengzheng, who helped prepare things, had the most say: Enough!

   *

Jiang Xiyu's hands were still shaking when he put down the tray.

 In the past few days, in addition to script reading, they have also done a lot of exercises.

For example, for her role as a palace maid, she had to practice carrying dishes while walking fast and steady without shaking her upper body.

 To use one word to describe it, it is miserable.

 The only motivation that kept her going was that other actors also had to do relevant exercises.

For example, Jiang Lingxi and Wei Minmin's martial arts instructors, etc., everyone practices in such an air-conditioned hall, and she naturally has more opportunities to observe when you come and go.

But based on her observations over the past few days, she found that Jiang Lingxi was really a bit weird.

 These days there are actually actors who don’t wear any jewelry or accessories.

Even if you don’t want to wear a bracelet or earrings if you don’t think it will affect your movements, then just wear an earrings, bracelet or something.

Jiang Lingxi had nothing on her body from head to toe.

 Could it be that my aunt was talking about something like underwear? Thinking about it, I realized it couldn’t be those things.

This was the first time that she saw something like a pendant from Jiang Lingxi.

 Because of the surprise, she almost froze just now, and was caught by Jiang Lingxi. This would calm down her mood. All she could think about was the pendant hanging on a red string around Jiang Lingxi's neck, which she couldn't even see clearly.

  Put it under your clothes and even Wei Minmin is not allowed to touch it. It looks very precious and unique.

 No matter what she thought, it was very consistent with the "unusual thing" she had always envisioned.

As for how to get that thing next... No matter what method she uses, she will definitely get it!

She doesn't want to live a single day of this frustrating life where being a match for Jiang Lingxi has to be close to flattery!

 There was a thunderstorm in the evening, which washed away the sultry weather of the previous two days.

 Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Lingxi opened the balcony window of her room, she saw a nest of birds chirping happily standing on a branch full of green washed by rain.

The sky was filled with white clouds and a natural cool breeze was blowing. Taking a deep breath of the exceptionally fresh air, Jiang Lingxi looked at the film and television city not far away that was gradually waking up, "It's really an auspicious day."

  Although people at that time said they were against superstition, on a day like the start of a TV series, most people would still choose to find someone or do the calculations themselves using the almanac to pick out a good day that would make a good start.

It has been sweltering for several days. Not to mention people and animals, even the plants are a little wilted. Now after a night of rain, it is difficult to say that today is not a good day.

According to Wei Xiao, it is just right for a power-on ceremony.

The film and television city is a bit ridiculously big. The location for the opening ceremony of "Empress Yuan Zhao" was not the large courtyard where the final makeup photos were taken for script reading, but a large grassland not far away.

Jiang Lingxi looked at her makeup look in the mirror today.

Wearing a fiery red riding attire, black phoenix-patterned boots, and a black gilt lotus crown, she is a bright and flamboyant girl.

 After the opening ceremony, the first scene will be filmed. Usually it is a scene with the female protagonist or the male protagonist. This time it is hers.

When Jiang Lingxi rushed over in costume, the grassland was already bustling with people everywhere.

 There were only a few other people like her who wore costumes to participate in the filming of the first scene, and they were the last to arrive.

 “Here we are, waiting for you!”

Jiang Lingxi stood next to Wei Xiao, and Wei Minmin came over and stood next to her.

As soon as he stood still, he heard Sheman, who was standing on the other side of Wei Xiao, asking: "Isn't the leading actor coming to the opening ceremony as well?"

 “I can’t pull away over there, so it doesn’t matter.”

 Jiang Lingxi knows the reason.

 Last night when there was thunder outside, she received a message from Shen Yunqing. He should be still abroad at this time, and he would definitely not be able to come back in time.

Originally, the first scene Wei Xiao wanted to shoot was a scene between the male and female protagonists, but for this reason it was changed to another scene.

Sheman couldn’t help being speechless and a little bit happy.

If the male protagonist was present, then she would definitely not be able to stand next to the director. Thinking about it, it would be better not to come.

The startup ceremony went smoothly amidst the cool breeze blowing from time to time and the aroma of green grass brought by the wind. At the same time, some sharp-eyed netizens were surprised to find that the official account of the crew of "Empress Yuan Zhao" was unknowingly browsing the phone. The room has been certified and opened.

When Jiang Lingxi held the lit incense and inserted it into the big incense burner in front of her, the official account of "Empress" also updated the first update almost at the same time.

 “Empress Yuan Zhao, Aite Jiang Lingxi!”

The accompanying picture is the photo of a man wearing a vermilion dragon robe and looking down at the world.

 There was a stir on the Internet!
