Chapter 385: Chapter 376: Where is There Any Emperor and His Ministers?

Lu Zhengzheng stood at the door of the lounge, her face flushed.

She glanced sideways at Xu Ling’an, who had a similar expression, and spoke with a tone full of relief, "Luckily, you reminded me just now."

Otherwise, her hand would have already knocked on the door.

Xu Ling’an carefully reached out to close the door tightly, which had been blown open by the wind, turning around with lingering amazement and shyness from the inadvertent glimpse inside, "No, it’s nothing."

Lu Zhengzheng leaned against her, squatting down at the door, patting her still somewhat hot cheeks, suddenly sighing, "Why didn’t Xixi and Mr. Shen have a kiss scene in the drama, making us sneak a peek."

The scene was so beautiful, but they didn’t dare to watch openly.

In his heart, Xu Ling’an couldn’t help but agree, yet he maintained a serious demeanor, "After all, historically, Emperor Yuan Zhao and Prime Minister Shen only had a pure ruler-minister relationship."

"That’s true," Lu Zhengzheng nodded, accepting reality, "but I see there’s quite a bit of fan fiction about Emperor Yuan Zhao and Prime Minister Shen on various websites now. I have a hunch that once Xixi’s drama airs, more people will be shipping them."

They had no way of knowing the actual looks of the historical Emperor Yuan Zhao and Prime Minister Shen, but they could infer something from the sparse words left in history books.

Both were extraordinary people, with top-tier looks.

But words on paper can’t fully materialize, so people can only imagine what these two might look like in their minds.

Until she saw Xixi playing Emperor Yuan Zhao and Mr. Shen playing Prime Minister Shen.

She couldn’t imagine anyone more suited for these roles!

Her thoughts wandered until the vibration of her phone snapped her back to reality, Lu Zhengzheng glanced at the phone screen, her expression changing quickly, "Oh no, Director Wei is urging Xixi to return to the set for filming!"

"What should we do then?"

"Knock on the door?"

"I don’t dare."

"Honestly, neither do I."

As the saying goes, you’ll get struck by lightning and be single forever if you disturb someone in love!

*

Inside the lounge.

The originally elegant blue and white bouquet inadvertently had many petals crushed off, the squeezed flower juice exuding a rich, sweet fragrance with a hint of greenness.

The original orderly arrangement of flowers now looked a bit chaotic, with delicate petals falling onto the robes and feet of the two individuals entwined together.

As robes parted and the bouquet sprawled, the person half-lying on the reclining chair blushed with a dazed look.

Jiang Lingxi took a deep breath, unable to resist touching the red mark on Shen Yunqing’s chin that she had inadvertently pinched, pressing her already wet lips and chuckling, "This is the modern age, there’s no such thing as ruler and minister anymore."

Thus, she had no qualms!

This reply answered the question Shen Yunqing didn’t get to finish earlier.

"Director Wei must be getting anxious," Jiang Lingxi released her hand and looked down at the somewhat miserable bouquet she had mishandled, gently smoothing it, "If we don’t go out soon, those two little girls at the door might cry from anxiety."

Shen Yunqing snapped out of his daze at the sound, intending to get up.

Jiang Lingxi glanced at him, pressing him back down, "You should stay in the lounge and rest well."

She was fine, today’s makeup and costume leaned towards an unruly style, even with messier hair it didn’t matter, and the fabric of her clothes was stiff enough to hide any oddities.

But Shen Yunqing’s relatively thin white long robe was another story. Combined with his already light makeup... the lingering passion was fully visible.

Going out like this would blatantly reveal what they had been doing in the lounge.

Shen Yunqing: "..."

He understood the implication, but his face grew hotter.

In the end, he could only slightly tidy his disheveled collar to regain some semblance of composure, nodding briefly with a lowered gaze.

Jiang Lingxi opened the door to the lounge, causing the two individuals pacing anxiously at the door to abruptly freeze, both looking up simultaneously.

They stubbornly resisted the urge to peek inside the lounge.

"Xixi, just now the director..."

Jiang Lingxi didn’t let her finish, closing the lounge door behind her, "Let’s go!"

Lu Zhengzheng quickly followed, while Xu Ling’an hesitated for a second before pursuing after making sure no one else was coming out of the lounge.

She didn’t have a scene this morning, originally she could rest in the lounge.

But since her brother-in-law remained inside, not following them out, she decided to head to the set to watch Xixi film!

"Why are you so slow!" Wei Xiao frowned with displeasure as he saw Jiang Lingxi quickly returning, only to notice a hint of an anomaly when she got closer.

"Where’s the makeup artist? Come fix the lead actress’s makeup."

He was just a single old man, why did he have to be fed dog food during a break!

As for the male and female leads developing feelings during filming, he was long accustomed to it.

Not to mention Shen Yunqing was originally introduced by Jiang Lingxi, the two might have had sparks long before, who knows.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Shen’s role had already wrapped up, and it took this long for him to notice, without affecting previous filming, which was somewhat comforting.

"Your current state... mustn’t affect the upcoming scenes, or you won’t get any share of tonight’s wrap party."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

What a strong threat!

Her subsequent filming certainly couldn’t fall short.

Even Wei Minmin couldn’t help but quietly ask after the director called to cut a scene, "Xixi, did you secretly get hyped up just now?"

Otherwise, how did she act so fiercely it nearly overwhelmed her.

One scene with her felt more tiring than ten with others!

Jiang Lingxi: "Yes, I did."

Wei Minmin didn’t expect her to nod, curiously asking, "How?"

"Not suitable for children."

Wei Minmin: "..."

Why did I even ask!

To make time for the wrap party, the crew skipped the usual break after lunch and resumed filming promptly.

Putting down her chopsticks and wiping her mouth, Jiang Lingxi had to borrow Lu Zhengzheng’s phone to send a message to Shen Yunqing, knowing he’d obediently wait in the lounge until evening.

[I’ll go handle some work first.]

[Alright, see you tonight.]

Returning the phone to Lu Zhengzheng, Jiang Lingxi glanced in the direction of the lounge, then turned to continue her hyped-up work.

He Zhu, following his boss’s instructions, found the lounge with a thin coat, unable to resist casting his gaze on Shen Yunqing’s chin as he entered.

The still evident red mark stood out on the jade-white skin.

He couldn’t help exclaiming, "Boss, are you hurt?"

Shen Yunqing took the coat handed to him and donned it, noting He Zhu’s gaze, "Accidentally bumped it."

He Zhu: "..."

Do I look stupid?

A close look made it clear it was...

Alright, I shouldn’t have asked!

"Is the transfer of the motorhome completed?"

Speaking of work, He Zhu instantly switched to his elite mode, "Rest assured, boss, all procedures have been handled meticulously. The motorhome’s life facilities have been modified, and improvements on safety measures are projected to complete in five days, guaranteeing it won’t hinder Mrs. Jiang’s—no, I’m sorry, I meant Mrs.’s—use!"

"Let’s go, take me to check it out."
