Her bright smile stung Xia Yitong's eyes. Xia Yitong put down her raised hand, sighed softly, and lowered her head. Lu Yinbing looked at Xia Yitong out of the corner of his eye, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart for no reason.
Did she do something wrong
The script supervisor came over with the clapperboard facing the camera, and Xiaoxi quickly appeared on screen.
"'Breaking Snow', scene 2, shot 2, fourth time, action!"
This time the eldest prince's eyes were a little more alert, but Qin Hanlin still called a cut. The others stayed where they were, and the eldest prince took a single pass, barely making it. Lu Yinbing stood in the crowd with her hands down, raised her eyes and then lowered them again, continuing to be her idle prince.
The King of Chu was slightly angry and said, "In such a huge court, there is no one who can share my worries?"
Several princes were ready to make a move.
The eldest prince rushed forward, knelt on the ground and bowed, then stood up and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to share your worries, your Majesty, and personally go to the south to provide disaster relief, and find out where the relief money has gone."
The King of Chu's expression eased a little, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Wu'er is in charge of military affairs, so it is inconvenient for him to leave for a long time. Your Majesty understands your kindness, and it is time to send another suitable person."
The eldest prince looked worried, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Father, I have a suitable candidate in mind. He is of noble status and can represent the majesty of the royal family, but he has no important matters to attend to."
"Who is it?"
"I am your son's sixth brother and your father's sixth son—A Xiu!" The eldest prince's words fell in a sonorous voice.
The whole court was in an uproar. Everyone knew that the Sixth Prince was in poor health. He had to ask for leave from time to time to recuperate at home even before attending court. Not to mention traveling long distances. If his body was shaken for two days, he would probably collapse on the road.
Lu Yinbing raised her head, her jade-like face showing a confused look as if she had just woken up from a dream: Who am I? Where am I? What are you talking about
Everyone else in the crew was snickering, but Xia Yitong didn't laugh. She covered her pounding heart and screamed in her heart: Ahhhh, Lu Yinbing can actually make such a cute expression, and she doesn't act annoying at all.
The King of Chu hesitated: "So..."
The eldest prince pressed on, "Sixth brother, you are a member of the royal family of Chu. Although you are not in good health now, you have inherited your father's heroic blood. A sword will not become stronger if it is not used, and a spear will not become sharp if it is not sharpened. In the future..."
Lu Yinbing blinked slowly, moved her lips, as if she pouted and said "oh", then curled her lips slightly, realizing that she was being tricked.
"Jing Xiu is so cute," a girl clenched her fists and put them against her chest, and whispered excitedly, "So cute and handsome, how can there be such a cute prince in the world!"
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
Xia Yitong roared in her heart: "How can this be cute? This is simply too cute!"
"Cut, start over." Qin Hanlin turned around. His good upbringing prevented him from getting angry at the two girls who had just talked about him, but the anger in his eyes could be seen faintly. "If you have anything to say, go outside and talk. Don't disturb the filming."
The two girls immediately showed expressions of fear and were silent.
Qin Hanlin called Lu Yinbing over and told him, "Your presence is too strong, please hold it back."
Lu Yinbing nodded: "Okay." Then he looked at Xia Yitong who was standing next to Qin Hanlin. Xia Yitong immediately clapped her hands and said sincerely: "Teacher Lu performed very well!"
Lu Yinbing was a little dazed by the applause, and forgot what she wanted to say for a moment. She just nodded slightly, expressed her gratitude, and walked back to the center of the court officials. She pursed her lips a few times and couldn't help but curl them up.
The supervisor knocks the board for the fifth time.
"Action!"
"in this way… "
The eldest prince stepped forward again: "Sixth brother, as a member of the royal family of Chu... if there is a war in the future, and the land is full of smoke, sixth brother can't hide in the palace forever, letting the world laugh at our great Chu, which is famous for its bravery, but has a 'female prince' who can't do anything. Whether it's civil or military, sixth brother must be able to do one, so as not to damage the reputation of our royal family."
King Chu: "What do you think, my dear ministers?"
An old minister with white hair and eyebrows coughed twice as he moved. As he slowly knelt down, he coughed a series of times. This was an old actor. Although he was over seventy years old, he was still energetic. He raised his head and his eyes were still mature and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not possible."
"Why not?"
The old minister said, "Your Highness is only fifteen years old, not yet twenty, and he has been weak since childhood, so he can't stand long distances. If you want Wencheng, you can stay in Yanjing. The other princes have their own duties, so why not give Your Highness a chance."
Lu Yinbing bowed to the old minister in gratitude, but also declined, saying, "I am really ill and cannot travel far."
A trace of malice flashed across the eldest prince's eyes, which disappeared in an instant. He said, "Master Liu is wrong..."
The old minister fought back without giving in.
Then, the neutral faction and the eldest prince's faction in the court started quarreling. The factions of the other two princes who were in power and the eldest prince's faction exposed each other's shortcomings. The court was like a vegetable market, but it was filled with noise.
The King of Chu was furious, but finally decided to send Jing Xiu to provide disaster relief.
"Cut, ng, try again." The scene was naturally retaken countless times. Qin Hanlin drank half a bottle of water, and before he could swallow the water in his mouth, he spat it out.
At this time, Lu Yinbing and others had been shooting for more than two hours. The temperature outside was close to 40 degrees Celsius. There were only large fans inside, and they couldn't blow towards the actors who were filming. The actors were covered by long-sleeved and long-trouser costumes and were wet and sticky as if they were soaked in water. The sweat was flowing faster than it could be wiped off.
Qin Hanlin changed into shorts and a short-sleeved floral shirt with only two buttons left on. He fanned himself frantically with one hand: "Take a break first, take a break first."
Lu Yinbing's assistant C brought an air-conditioning fan. When he heard what the director said, he quickly brought Lu Yinbing down and blew it towards her. Lu Yinbing unbuttoned the collar of her costume and tilted her head back. A few drops of sweat flowed from her slender white neck into her clothes. She looked hopelessly sexy.
Xia Yitong swallowed and looked away, but her peripheral vision kept paying attention to that side.
Qin Hanlin walked over, waving a large cattail leaf fan, and began to talk about the play one by one. Xia Yitong followed behind him like a little dog, calling it accumulating experience. When it came to Lu Yinbing, Qin Hanlin took a deep breath and said, "Ah, you have nothing to say. Just act the same as before."
He looked particularly disgusted.
Lu Yinbing also joked with him, "Director Qin, what does that expression of yours mean? If you really dislike me, I wouldn't act like that."
"It's amazing, you acted so well." Qin Hanlin touched the sweat on his neck, sat down next to her, and said to assistant C, "Little girl, can you lend me that air conditioner?"
Xia Yitong took the opportunity to find a seat and sit down.
Lu Yinbing gave up her seat to Qin Hanlin and wiped her neck with a wet towel. She touched her face and said to herself worriedly, "It's so hot, your makeup didn't get smudged, did it?"
Xia Yitong's eyes never left her, and she blurted out, "No, she's still very beautiful."
Lu Yinbing looked at her quietly, his eyes unclear.
Xia Yitong stuttered: "I... I am..."
"What is it?"
"It's just..." Xia Yitong's ears turned red, and her voice was so low that it was inaudible, "I just think you're pretty."
"Am I prettier or are you prettier?"
"Look good."
"You, you, you keep saying you all day long. I see you and Qin Hanlin are both saying you you, you, you. You keep saying you to me, am I as old as Qin Hanlin?" Lu Yinbing wrapped the wet towel around his hand and frowned impatiently.
Qin Hanlin, who was caught in the crossfire, turned his head and said unconvincedly: "What's wrong with me? A man is in his prime at 41. I am in my prime. Don't think I don't know what you say about me."
"Blow off your air conditioner fan." Lu Yinbing said, "If you keep saying 'you' to me' all the time, I will bully you."
Bully you bully you bully you...
Xia Yitong kept repeating these words in her mind. In an instant, countless Thomas trains whistled past her. She swallowed carefully, feeling a little distracted, and asked in a low voice, "You..."
Lu Yinbing glared at her.
Xia Yitong changed the subject: "How is Mr. Lu going to bully me?"
Are you going to bully her this way or that way? She won't resist. Xia Yitong's cheeks were red, and she was almost burned by her own imagination.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
I told you to stop being Teacher Lu. Okay, then you can stay as Teacher Lu forever.
Mimosa finally blushed again, and a hint of excitement and surprise flashed across Lu Yinbing's face, and he said meaningfully: "How do you want me to bully you?"
Lu Yinbing stared at her closely, observing her with interest. Xia Yitong was fair-skinned, with rosy cheeks that reminded Lu Yinbing of the fresh and delicious cherries that were on the market in May. One bite and the juice would overflow.
Apparently Xia's cherry was not ripe yet. Lu Yinbing thought with evil humor: How can I bully her to make her blush more? This kid is so fun to play with.
Xia Yitong felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. What on earth did she hear just now? Her mind was in a mess. Lu Yinbing said two more words, but she only saw the other party's lips opening and closing, but her ears did not receive any sound.
Lu Yinbing waved her hand in front of her eyes: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Xia Yitong said: "I... was thinking about you, Teacher Lu. Didn't you just ask me how I thought about you bullying me?"
"how?"
"It's just..." Xia Yitong lowered his head and didn't dare to look into her eyes. His lips opened and closed several times, "It's just..."
"What is it?" Lu Yinbing urged, "I hate procrastination the most."
Kiss me? Touch me? Fuck me
Xia Yitong collapsed and thought: No matter which one I say, she will be scared to death.
