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

Chapter 416 No need to keep the guest after they leave; they just came to watch me film.

Upon receiving Pei Yuan's message reminding her to get her makeup changed, Jiang Hanying put down her cup, picked up the tea bag given to her by Duanmu Long, and stood up, saying, "I have to go."

Duanmu Rongrong nodded and said gently, "Are you going to change your makeup? Then hurry up and go, don't delay the filming later."

"Okay, Mr. Duanmu, see you on set later."

See you on set.

Li Chengxiao also got up, glanced at Jiang Hanying's cup which still had a little less than half a cup of tea, picked it up and called her back, "Drink your tea before you leave."

Jiang Hanying didn't ask why, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then put the teacup back in his hand.

Li Chengxiao placed the empty cup on the table. "Teacher Duanmu, we'll head out now."

"Go."

Duanmu Long got up and escorted the two to the outside of the RV, watching their side-by-side figures gradually walk away, and he could still vaguely hear their conversation.

Why should we finish our tea?

"Leaving guests without offering tea signifies your satisfaction with Teacher Duanmu's hospitality and also shows respect for the host."

"Oh, that's quite sophisticated. I've learned something new. What if I came to your place for tea?"

"random."

……

She only sat down next to her great-aunt, who had moved to the dressing table, when she could no longer hear clearly.

"Grandma..."

Duanmu Rongrong looked at her through the mirror, "Did you understand?"

Duanmu Long remained silent for a moment, then softly hummed in agreement.

"Then put it down, child."

"it is good."

Due to the limited outdoor environment, there was naturally no separate dressing room.

Apart from Duanmu Rongrong and Yuan Chaoyu, who could do their makeup and costumes in their own RVs, the other actors had to do their makeup and costume changes in a large tent.

Upon reaching the tent entrance, Li Chengxiao, an outsider, had to stop.

The makeover process would take quite a while, and it wouldn't be right to leave the owner waiting outside. Jiang Hanying thought for a moment, "Pei Yuan, why don't you take the instructor to see my horse? I'll send you a message after the makeover is finished, and then you can come back."

Pei Yuan nodded, first leading Jiang Hanying to the dressing table, then coming out to lead Li Chengxiao towards the horse farm.

As they walked, he explained, "After filming the horse-riding scenes during the day, all the other horses were moved away. Now, only the one that Sister Hanying bought is still at the horse farm."

When they arrived, they found that the vast area contained only a lone horse tethered to a tree trunk, which was now grazing on the grass around the tree, which had been almost completely gnawed bare.

There was also a portable folding basin under the tree, and the water in it had been drunk up.

Pei Yuan put it there herself.

Since this was the only horse left, and it belonged to the actor, there was naturally no one to come and feed it. Pei Yuan was the only one who came over from time to time to add water and such all afternoon.

"Instructor Li, I'm going to fetch some water from the lake," Pei Yuan said, grabbing an empty basin and heading towards the lake.

Li Chengxiao, who had just untied the reins, called out to him, "Don't go. It's not safe by the lake at night. You should go back to Hanying's place. I'll lead the horse to the lake to drink water."

Pei Yuan was indeed a little scared. The scenery was quite beautiful during the day, but at night, when the mountain wind blew and the surroundings rustled, it was honestly a bit frightening.

And that lake, it looks dark and deep at night.

In addition, the horse farm is quite remote, and she wouldn't dare to come here alone.

"Well, I'll head back now. Instructor Li, please be careful too."

"Ah."

Watching Pei Yuan jog back to the lit area, Li Chengxiao then took a closer look at the large black horse in front of him in the dim moonlight.

It's robust, with fairly smooth fur, and looks quite good; it appears normal overall.

Ma was also glancing sideways at the person in front of him.

It could sense that the aura emanating from the person before it was somewhat different from the one who had nearly strangled it during the day, yet somehow similar. Having just been subdued during the day, its damaged and limited brain struggled to process what it saw, and in a moment it determined that the person before it was equally not to be trifled with.

When the other person reached out to touch it, it obediently lowered its head.

Li Chengxiao placed his hand on the horse's head and stroked its mane, then braced himself against the saddle with one hand and swiftly leaped onto the horse's back.

If anyone who saw Jiang Hanying mount her horse during the day were here, they would immediately recognize that the two women's mounting movements were almost identical.

However, there is only one person and one horse within a hundred meters, so there is no one to compare with.

"Walk."

The big black horse paused for a moment, then trotted along in the night with the person on its back.

Li Chengxiao ran all the way to the lakeside before gently pulling on the reins to stop the horse. He jumped off the horse and patted it on the back. The big black horse took a few more steps forward, stood on the shore, and began to drink water in large gulps.

Li Chengxiao noticed that it was eating and drinking normally, so he figured it should be easy to take care of.

It wasn't until he heard a faint noise coming from the other side that he suddenly turned his head to look.

They were about ten meters apart, their faces obscured by the darkness, only blurry silhouettes visible, yet both could sense the other watching them.

It wasn't until Li Chengxiao's phone vibrated that he looked away, took out his phone, and opened the voice message that Jiang Hanying had just sent.

"Are you coming to watch me film?"

He typed a reply with his head down: 【I'm going back now.】

Even without looking up after clicking send, you can sense that the person not far away has quietly left.

He got up, took the horse that had finished drinking and was now standing there blankly, and turned back.

If the horse farm was eerily quiet, then the film set was excessively lively.

The night scene lights were already hoisted high, illuminating the entire set. Combined with the blazing torches lit everywhere, the air felt much warmer.

Jiang Hanying's scenes in the evening were neither numerous nor insignificant. Besides playing a palace maid serving tea and water, she also had a scene where she was privately harassed by Consort Xiao, who had been rebuffed by the emperor.

When Li Chengxiao arrived at the scene, Jiang Hanying's team had already started filming.

Pei Yuan was holding a thick coat and waiting at the edge of the set. It was already late autumn, but they were actually filming scenes set in summer.

Jiang Hanying's costume was quite thin. After filming a short segment, she could wear a coat during breaks to keep warm.

Even though Jiang Hanying didn't feel cold, Pei Yuan thought she would.

"Instructor Li," she waved quickly upon seeing Li Chengxiao, "over here."

After the others arrived, he pointed to the chair Jiang Hanying was using and said, "Please sit here."

After Li Chengxiao sat down, he looked in the direction the camera was filming and saw an actress dressed in luxurious clothes looking at Jiang Hanying, who was bowing to her, with an unfriendly expression.

Then, suddenly, he reached out and yanked down on Jiang Hanying's already thin clothes, exposing half of her shoulder.

Even knowing it was acting, he still frowned. "What kind of plot are they filming?"

"Uh, it's Consort Xiao who suspects that Han Ying's character is seducing the Emperor and is making things difficult for her scenes."

I understand, this is a scene from the early episodes where the character is bullied.

They just finished acting out a murder scene, and then they're acting out being bullied...

Fortunately, the director called "cut" shortly afterward. Pei Yuan quickly ran forward and draped her coat over Jiang Hanying's shoulders, while also letting her know, "Sister, Instructor Li is back."

"I know."

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she walked towards the direction of her cheap owner.

She could sense people as soon as they got close, without even looking.

He had just stood up in front of his cheap owner, who had already gotten up, and hadn't even spoken yet.

"Cold?"

"It's not cold, feel it if you don't believe me."

Pei Yuan couldn't help but cough.

Can't you control what you eat?!
