After Jiang Yu and Li Yue returned, they both rested peacefully for a night before arriving at the filming location at 8 am the next morning.
The first scene was of the Empress taking a stroll in the imperial garden and she bumped into the imperial consort who was reprimanding the servants.
The Empress could not bear it and went forward to stop the imperial consort.
The imperial consort was arrogant and immediately went against the empress.
The director said, “Do the two of you want to go through the scenes first? That way, it will be easier to shoot later.”
Jiang Yu naturally would not refuse and said, “Okay, director.”
Li Yue was able to obtain the title of “movie queen” twice in a row not only because of her superb acting skills.
It was also because of her conscientious spirit on the set.
Regardless of whether it was within the industry or outside, anyone who saw it would have to praise her as the “Hardworking woman.”
Jiang Yu held the script and planned to act with Li Yue. However, Li Yue’s first sentence was, “Jiang Yu, I advise you not to lower your guard. Because in the following filming, I will display my full strength. Don’t get overshadowed by me.”
Jiang Yu’s eyes were still fixated on the script, but her words were directed at Li Yue. “Thank you, movie queen Li, for your kind reminder. I understand.”
Li Yue sneered. Even if she didn’t want to act with Jiang Yu, she had to put on a show.
Hence, Li Yue still began to act with Jiang Yu.
The filming officially began. The Empress played by Jiang Yu was walking in the imperial garden with a few palace maids, admiring the flowers.
She vaguely heard someone scolding something loudly in the distance.
Jiang Yu looked up into the distance and asked, “Who is there? What happened?”
A young eunuch came forward and said, “Reporting to the Empress, the imperial consort is scolding her servant girl over there.”
Jiang Yu stopped admiring the flowers and asked, “What big mistake did that servant girl make?”
The young eunuch said, “Reporting to the empress, it seems that the flowers that were picked for the noble consort were osmanthus flowers instead of rose flowers.”
Jiang Yu shook his head noncommittally and said, “Could it be that the noble consort is so angry just because of this little matter?”
The young eunuch stuttered and said, “This… is something that can not be helped. The noble consort is… sigh, the noble consort has always been like this.”
The reprimands in the distance continued and seemed to be getting louder and louder.
Jiang Yu stopped admiring the flowers and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
The noble consort played by Li Yue was reprimanding her maidservants. When she raised her head and saw the empress, who had a higher status than her, coming over, she gave a simple bow and said, “What wind blew the empress over?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It must be your wind, noble consort.”
Li Yue snorted coldly and said, “I didn’t know that I had such great charm. I can actually bring the Empress from the palace to this imperial garden.”
Jiang Yu chuckled and said, “Why is the noble consort so angry today?”
Li Yue snorted and pointed at the few flowers on the ground. She said, “It’s all because of this maidservant. I’ve already said that the flowers I want are the Moon Roses, but she’s so smart. She actually picked all the osmanthus flowers for me!”
Jiang Yu consoled, “It’s just the wrong flowers. Noble consort, there’s no need to be so angry.”
Li Yue smiled. “Did the Empress come this time to advise me not to be angry, or to plead on behalf of this servant girl?”
Jiang Yu smiled. “Both.”
The tense atmosphere between Jiang Yu and Li Yue had even spread to the staff outside the venue.
Everyone held their breaths and did not dare to say a word.
They had already been brought into the atmosphere of the drama. The only person who remained calm was the director.
He was secretly sweating for Jiang Yu, he thought to himself, “Jiang Yu, the one acting with you is movie queen Li. Even though she is a supporting role, her aura should not be underestimated. You must be careful. As the main character, you must not be overshadowed.”
