Wen Nuan’s heart trembled softly, a current seemed to have surged through it. She was stunned for a long time before slowly curving her lips into a smile, more dazzling and charming than petals blooming in spring.
Such a simple sentence, yet enough to stir a huge emotional wave in her heart.
This must be the simplicity and happiness, I really feeling.
Leng Yan said a few more words, but because an important call came in, he had to hang up.
Putting down her phone, Wen Nuan continued watching Tong Xi’s play, her lips and eyes filled with happy smiles.
Tong Xi had already walked up to Ji Wei and was fiercely confronting her. In the drama, she was the Emperor’s most beloved sister, someone whom many concubines feared.
Except for the concubine played by Ji Wei. Relying on the Emperor’s favor, she had now become an Imperial Concubine, with many confidants, and looked down upon many people.
"Accusing me of bullying her, what’s the evidence?" Ji Wei smiled lightly, stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion, walked to the lakeside, and stood there, her enchanting face carrying a mocking smile: "I was just here teasing the fish, when did I ever bully her? Princess, I know you are close with her, but you can’t just believe her words because of this."
"Meng Xuan wouldn’t lie. You just said things like she wouldn’t live long being a medicine pot. Don’t you know that’s hurtful?" Tong Xi sneered, getting closer to her, angrily pointing her finger at her. She suddenly pushed Ji Wei hard towards the lake.
The whole set was suddenly shocked, even Director Weng’s usually calm face changed color.
The scene was supposed to be Tong Xi instructing Ji Wei, almost pushing her into the lake, at which point a guard would come to save her, revealing a hidden love story within the depths of the palace.
This guard and the concubine played by Ji Wei were childhood sweethearts. They once swore to marry no one but each other. Ji Wei, helplessly entering the Imperial Palace, left a spot in his heart. To protect her, he came to this deep palace as a guard, just to see the woman he loved from time to time.
The script required her to push in the next line, allowing the guard to save her just in time. But Tong Xi pushed ahead of time.
No one was prepared, which resulted in Ji Wei falling into the water.
Wen Nuan, unaware of the plot, thought it was required by the scene until she saw Director Weng shouting to rescue her, then saw Tong Xi secretly making a V gesture and suddenly realized.
Is this the good show Xixi was talking about?
Her heart became restless; she stared directly at the lake, deeply blaming herself.
Although she didn’t like Ji Wei, nothing had truly happened between her and Leng Yan. She simply wanted Ji Wei not to destroy the feelings she and Leng Yan had painstakingly built, never intending revenge, but Tong Xi clearly wanted to help her vent her anger.
"Xixi!" Director Weng was so angry that his beard stood on end.
Did this girl even read what was written in the script? How could she really push her in?
It was precisely because Tong Xi’s personality was so similar to the wild princess written in the script that despite objections from old friends, he still agreed to let Tong Xi act. But who knew, Tong Xi was friendly and joking with everyone except Ji Wei. This time, he even suspected whether Tong Xi did it on purpose.
And the few boys who could swim had been sent elsewhere by him, leaving only the actresses and himself along with the actor playing the guard here. The most unfortunate part was that neither he nor the guard could swim.
"I’m sorry, Uncle Weng, it’s my fault. I got too into the scene. When I see someone being bullied, I can’t take it. You know, I’m always the embodiment of justice. One moment of anger and my hand became heavy..." Tong Xi apologized pitifully, watching Ji Wei floundering in the lake, secretly overjoyed.
