Chapter 174 The Empress Turns On
Author: Xuan Shiyi
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 panting 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 onto her white training clothes, "It's great!"
She lowered her head and 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 adjusted her collar, "It's okay."
Wei Minmin's sharp eyes scanned the side of her fair neck and saw a flash of red, "Is your neck injured?"
"No."
"Then I saw a red mark just now," she said without looking outside and stretched out her hand to confirm. However, when she stretched out her hand, a red rope was drawn out, and the things tied to the red rope were also caught by her. I accidentally pulled it out.
"It turns out to be a pendant. I was shocked. I thought I strained your neck when we were sparring. But your pendant is quite unique. 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 smiled teasingly, but before she could finish her words, she met Jiang Lingxi's leisurely eyes and swallowed the rest of her words immediately, " Ahem, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Jiang Lingxi's eyes fell on Wei Minmin's shoulders.
Jiang Xiyu, who was practicing walking while holding a tray with books on his head, suddenly met Jiang Lingxi's eyes, shaking his hand and almost dropping several pieces of porcelain on the tray, and quickly looked away and walked away.
Naturally, he didn't see the man not far behind him slightly curling his lower lip.
After Jiang Lingxi assumed that Jiang Xiyu wanted to find something from her, she began to make preparations.
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 originally 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 also had 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 describe it in one word, 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, so she 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.
There are actually actors these days who don't wear any jewelry or accessories.
Even if you don't want to wear a bracelet or earrings because it affects your movements, then wear earrings, a bracelet or something like that.
Jiang Lingxi had nothing on her body from head to toe.
Could it be that what my aunt was talking about could be 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 her surprise, she almost froze just now, and was caught by Jiang Lingxi.
This would calm down her mind. All she could think about was the unrecognizable pendant hanging on a red string around Jiang Lingxi's neck.
Put it under your clothes and even Wei Minmin is not allowed to touch it. It looks very precious and unique.
No matter how she thought about it, 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 wouldn't want to live through this frustrating life of having to be close to pleasing Jiang Lingxi as a matchmaker!

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.
There were white clouds in the sky, and the 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 TV series launch, 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 was just right for a power-on ceremony.
The film and television city is a bit ridiculously big. The venue 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 today in the mirror.
Wearing a fiery red riding outfit, 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 was hers.
When Jiang Lingxi rushed over in costume, the grassland was already bustling with people everywhere.
There were only a few other people wearing costumes like her 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 she stood still, she 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?"
"If you can't pull away over there, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Lingxi knew 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.
She Man 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 booting 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 checking their mobile phones.
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 "The Empress" also updated its first update almost at the same time.
"Empress Yuan Zhao, Aite Jiang Lingxi!"
The accompanying picture is the one wearing a vermilion dragon robe and looking down at the world.
