After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 361 Stationmaster, Climbing a Tree

While everyone else on set was focused on the male and female leads and the Empress Dowager acting together, Jiang Hanying and Pei Yuan quietly left the set.

Jiang Hanying wasn't worried that her scene would start early, because it needed to be filmed at sunset to utilize daylight.

There is still enough time.

After leaving the film set, the two walked towards the ginkgo tree.

But it wasn't that no one noticed their movements.

"Second Uncle, should we follow them and take a look?"

Uncle Bai hesitated for two seconds, then stood up. "Let's go, but without my orders, you are not allowed to expose yourself, and you are not allowed to act rashly."

Although he hasn't had close contact with Jiang Hanying yet, he believes that intuition is more important than his brain in crucial moments.

His intuition told him to be more cautious when dealing with Jiang Hanying.

This time, he chose to trust his intuition.

"You're already here, why bother... Fine, fine!"

He was afraid that if he continued talking, his hundred repetitions of "avoid arrogance and impetuosity" would become a thousand.

That would be fatal!

Before Jiang Hanying even reached the palace path where the ginkgo tree was located, she noticed two small insects sneaking up behind her.

This patience, after only one day—no, less than a day—doesn't seem much better than hers.

She pretended not to notice and continued walking forward.

The sun was already setting in the west, and many clouds on the horizon were already adorned with colorful patterns, their edges gleaming with gold.

Bathed in such natural light, the tall ginkgo tree, adorned with a full canopy of golden leaves, looks even more stunning.

Pei Yuan exclaimed in surprise and then became eager to try it out. "Sis, the last one didn't turn out well. Shall we take another one? It'll only take a few seconds."

Jiang Hanying bent down and grabbed a handful of ginkgo leaves, about to scatter them, when she looked up and her gaze froze.

"sister?"

Pei Yuan subconsciously turned her head to look over, only to see layers of upturned eaves. "There's nothing there?"

The uncle and nephew, hiding in the shadows of one of the eaves, were also on edge.

"She found us?"

Uncle Bai frowned, and was about to reach out and press his foolish nephew's raised head down when he saw Jiang Hanying wave her free hand in this direction.

"Don't follow them anymore, let's go back."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? If you're not leaving, then stay here. I'm leaving now."

As he spoke, he lowered his body and prepared to retreat, his movements quite decisive.

"Let's go, let's go, let's just go."

No sooner had the uncle and niece quietly left than Pei Yuan heard Jiang Hanying's explanation: "Someone is taking pictures."

"Oh, I don't see it?"

"Try taking a picture of that side with your phone."

Pei Yuan turned the camera in the direction Jiang Hanying was pointing with some skepticism, gradually zooming in until she finally spotted a few blurry figures on a rocky platform on a distant hillside, seemingly carrying professional cameras on their shoulders.

"It's the fan site admin!" Pei Yuan put down her phone, opened her eyes wide, and looked again, but still couldn't see anything. "How did you find out, admin?"

Jiang Hanying pointed to her eyes, "With my eyes."

Pei Yuan: "..."

She knew it definitely wasn't her nose or mouth!
"Should we still film?"

"Tap," the two little bugs that were peeking from the shadows were also scared away, so there was no need to be bothered. As for those fan site admins, "Ignore them."

"Oh."

Jiang Hanying rearranged her pose.

On a large rock on the hillside behind Dayong Palace, several fans who were carrying long guns and short lenses looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Jiang Hanying has spotted us?"

"They're so far away, it shouldn't be... possible, right?"

"But she just waved at us!"

"Stop discussing, hurry up and take the picture, this shot is absolutely stunning!" Upon hearing this, the others immediately stopped discussing and quickly picked up their equipment.

In the shot, a girl dressed in silver-blue ancient costume is standing amidst falling golden leaves.

Fallen leaves drifted past my eyebrows, while in the distance, the warm orange sun shone down.

A contrast between extreme cold and warmth.

The sky above was bright, and the ground below was dazzling. The figure in the shadows was like a ray of autumn light.

Absolutely!

The woman is stunningly beautiful, and the artistic conception is even more exquisite!

The sound of camera shutters clicking was incessant for a while.

Pei Yuan took several more photos before reluctantly putting down her phone, deciding to pick out the best one after work that evening and add it to her promotional material library.

As for needing to Photoshop it, she felt that even a little Photoshop work would be disrespectful to Sister Hanying and her own skills!
"Sis, shall we still look for that little monkey?"

Pei Yuan was a little disappointed that no ginkgo fruits fell during the photo shoot.

Has the little guy left?

And there are even fansites taking pictures here. What if they capture their own artist climbing a tree to find monkeys... The scene is too beautiful to imagine!
Looking up, I saw that the person in front of me had already rolled up the hem of her skirt.

She then walked up to the tree trunk, and before she could even shout "Maybe we should just give up," she had already climbed up two or three meters in no time.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Yuan was under the tree when Jiang Hanying reached out and grabbed a branch, then pushed off with her arm and stepped onto the trunk.

With branches growing out from all sides, climbing up became even easier.

Soon, Pei Yuan could no longer see the hem of Jiang Hanying's clothes under the tree.

Pei Yuan reached out and covered her pounding heart, then called out, "Sister, have you seen the little monkey?"

A moment later, he called out again, "Sis, be careful! Look carefully before you step, don't miss a step!"

The group of people on the hillside looked at each other again.

"How come... it even climbed a tree?"

"Have they spotted us yet?"

"I'm a little uncertain now."

"Why is she climbing the tree? It can't just be for taking pictures, right? Or is she picking fruit?"

"Not sure, let's see again."

Shoulder your gear and keep an eye on things.

On the crown of a ginkgo tree.

Jiang Hanying had almost climbed to the very top of the tree canopy.

The branches beneath my feet were getting thinner and thinner, swaying precariously as if they were about to break.

Fortunately, Pei Yuan, who was standing under the tree, couldn't see what was happening because of the branches and leaves; otherwise, she would have fainted.

However, climbing so high wasn't without its rewards. Jiang Hanying looked at the little creature quietly perched on the treetop above, watching her, and beckoned it with one hand, "Come here!"

The little guy quietly moved up a little further.

It was only because of its small size and light weight that it was supported by a branch that was only about the thickness of a finger.

However, Jiang Hanying couldn't go up there. She weighed at least 100-200 pounds, and that height was already the limit that the tree branches could support.

"Wait, look at the top of the ginkgo tree, isn't that Jiang Hanying?"

"My goodness, I didn't get a single picture of anyone for a while, and they've climbed this high!"

"Seriously, do you have to climb this high just to pick some fruit?"

"Is it possible that the higher up you go, the better the quality of the fruit?"

No one noticed that there was a person breathing above Jiang Hanying's head.

Firstly, the creature is small enough, and secondly, its fur is golden in color, which is very similar to the color of ginkgo leaves, thus serving as its camouflage.

Jiang Hanying couldn't catch it for a while, but she was unwilling to give up, so she simply reached out and picked a few ginkgo fruits nearby and threw them at the little thing's head.

"Watch me stir-fry chestnuts."

Pei Yuan, standing under the tree, had been waiting anxiously. "Sister, where are you?"

That sound sounds so far away!
