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

Chapter 376, I finished it in one go, just a little self-praise.

The palace maids in the laundry department lived in large communal rooms, with ten people sharing one room.

Only the two head and deputy head matrons lived in single rooms.

It was still raining heavily outside, and there wasn't much work to do in the laundry department, so the young palace maids stayed in their rooms to relax, and the head maid didn't bother them much.

Upon hearing the sound of the gate being opened, several young palace maids whose quarters were close to the gate immediately peeked out out of curiosity.

When they saw Li Minghe return looking disheveled, but still with his arms and legs intact, several people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"She actually managed to walk back?"

"Didn't Consort Xiang hate palace maids who were more beautiful than her? Why didn't she take the opportunity to slash Li Minghe's face? How could she have made her walk back?"

"She's really tough!"

"Huh, someone else came back with Li Minghe. Are they... the patrol guards?"

"You're back, so why did you bring a guard with you?"

……

Li Minghe completely ignored the gazes coming from inside the house, and led the people behind him straight to the door of the head maid who had unhesitatingly pushed her to Consort Xiang earlier, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who?"

The door opened, and the head maid looked up to see Li Minghe, his face pale, staring straight at her with his clear black and white eyes. Coupled with the darkness outside, she was immediately startled and jumped back a step.

"Granny Gu, it's me."

"You brat, stop playing tricks here. If you're back, then get back home right now..."

Mo Huaifeng couldn't listen any longer and couldn't help but cough lightly.

Only then did Granny Gu notice that there was someone standing behind Li Minghe. She composed herself, took a closer look, and her old face immediately broke into a wide smile. "So it's the patrol guard! Please come in, sir. What brings you here..."

"There's no need to go in." Mo Huaifeng made a gesture of refusal, then succinctly stated his purpose.

"I see. Li Minghe was indeed a palace maid in my laundry department. I'm sorry to have troubled you to personally bring her back."

As she spoke, she subtly glared at Li Minghe, "Don't just stand there, go back to your room, change into some dry clothes, and rest."

Li Minghe curtsied and silently stepped back.

Mo Huaifeng stood there watching her enter one of the rooms. He glanced at the kind-hearted old nanny in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed back the words he was about to suggest that she invite a doctor to come and examine Li Minghe's injuries.

He figured that even if he reminded them, it wouldn't make a difference.

He turned and left the laundry department in the rain.

But just as Li Minghe was huddled in a corner of the dormitory, washing his wounds with a cloth dampened with cold water, a physician from the Imperial Medical Academy came by with an umbrella and brought two bottles of medicine.

One bottle of powder for external wounds, and one bottle of pills for treating colds.

Granny Gu immediately knew who had sent the medicine, and dared not withhold any, so she obediently delivered it to Li Minghe.

The camera finally lingers on Li Minghe, who is clutching two bottles of medicine tightly in his hand, deep in thought with his eyes downcast.

"Okay, let's get this one right in one take. It's already noon, so everyone go get your lunch, eat, and rest for a bit. We'll come back and continue filming when the rain stops."

Jiang Hanying immediately composed herself, put down the medicine bottle, straightened her clothes, and nimbly jumped off the communal bed. This time, the filming was completed indoors without getting wet in the rain, while Pei Yuan rushed over with a bottle of brown sugar ginger water.

Meeting Jiang Hanying's gaze, which instantly snapped her out of character, she found herself still somewhat unable to break character. Before Jiang Hanying could speak, she said with a pleading look, "Even tens of thousands a day hurts."

Just now, when the video showed Hanying being thrown into the rain and rolling around several times before lying motionless on the ground, she was clinging tightly to a nearby pillar, which is why she didn't rush over to help her up.

The acting was so realistic!
While drinking brown sugar ginger water, Jiang Hanying watched the playback on the monitor and shamelessly boasted, "I did act quite well."

The director couldn't help but laugh, but he was also very pleased.

The worst thing about filming scenes that depend on the weather is having to do retakes. If you do a retake, the weather might change, and you won't be able to continue filming, which is really frustrating.

It would be ideal to get it right in one take like this.

What pleased him was that Jiang Hanying was extremely hostile to Lin Mu, who played Mo Huaifeng, off-screen, and made no attempt to hide it. It was obvious to anyone with eyes that the two didn't get along.

But when he was on camera, he was able to remain completely unaffected by the bad relationship off-screen, and his performance was natural and smooth enough that he was finally at ease.

The coming week shouldn't be too bad!
He doesn't ask for anything else, he just wants a good performance when filming.

After Pei Yuan brought back lunch, Jiang Hanying quickly finished eating, then took a car back to the hotel to change her makeup and took a hot shower.

By the time we got back to the set, the rain had almost stopped, the sun finally peeked out again, and a rainbow appeared on the horizon.

However, her scenes in the afternoon were equally demanding.

This time she changed into a palace maid's outfit with orchid patterns embroidered on the collar, which means that she is now a palace maid in Consort Lan's palace.

However, Consort Lan had a hobby: she liked to secretly give her beautiful palace maids to powerful eunuchs in the palace, using these maids to win over the eunuchs so that they would do favors for her or even serve her.

No sooner had Li Minghe managed to escape the laundry department than she was assigned to Consort Lan's palace, which was short-staffed. Upon seeing her face, Consort Lan immediately requested that she stay.

But before she could even get to know the people in Consort Lan's palace, Consort Lan arranged for her to be assigned to a eunuch who served in front of the emperor.

One of these scenes involves a rather intense tug-of-war.

Li Minghe was naturally unwilling to serve and please a eunuch, but his resistance only resulted in more cruel punishment and warnings.

She accepted her fate, but not entirely.

She simply used the eunuch who served in front of the emperor as a stepping stone, and seized the opportunity during the transition between the old and new emperors to decisively break free from the control of Consort Lan and become the tea-serving maid by the new emperor's side.

Before filming began, the male actor who played the eunuch came to rehearse with Jiang Hanying.

Jiang Hanying didn't find anything wrong with this scene, but Pei Yuan was watching the male actor dressed as an eunuch intently from the side, as if she was ready to step in and stop him if he went too far.

Male actor: I dare not move!
Not only because Pei Dingding was watching, but he himself is also a fan of Jiang Hanying, having become a fan after watching the second episode of "Absolute Experience".

He dared to overestimate Jiang Hanying's strength, but dared not underestimate it at all. He was really afraid that when he followed the action instructions to do the pulling movements, he would be kicked eight meters away.

"Teacher Jiang, um, I might offend you next."

Jiang Hanying nodded, shoved Pei Yuan, who was blocking her way, aside, and said her lines as she backed away, "Don't come any closer!"

The other party readily replied, "That won't do. Consort Lan's words are law, betrothing Miss Li to my Changde. How could I refuse?"

The lines were alright, but it was the acting...

Hey, stick your hand out!
