The miserable White Moonlight awakens and becomes popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 128 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead

"When I was young, I studied with my father and brothers. However, they were weak and could not endure the bitter cold and hard work at the border. They all died in a foreign land. As a woman, I was powerless to save my family from the bitter cold at the border. It happened that Your Majesty issued a general amnesty, and I was bewitched for a while. So I disguised myself as a man and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination..."

"I originally thought that if I could pass the imperial examination by chance, I could get a job as a county magistrate and county magistrate, and then I could lead my family out of the sea of ​​suffering. Who knew that Your Majesty would love me and personally grant me the title of No. 1 in the imperial examination? I am trembling with fear, as if I were walking on thin ice. I am terrified day and night. I want to apologize to Your Majesty, but I really don't have the courage..."

"I am a floating duckweed. Although I am a woman, I also want to use my humble body to serve the country, share your worries, and seek the welfare of the people. I do not seek to make contributions to the country, but I hope to live up to your majesty's grace."

Having said that, Yan Qing had a sad look on his face. He leaned forward and kowtowed again, and his jade-like forehead slammed hard on the cold and gorgeous brick floor. Blood gushed out, and his forehead became instantly red and swollen. His black hair was disheveled, and his flaws made him look even more pitiful and adorable.

Zhan Yuan's expression was slightly moved. "What does this have to do with the secret exchanges between you and Ji Xiaoyun?"

"Last time, I was ordered to go to the northwest with General Ji to suppress bandits. I didn't expect that I would be kidnapped. When General Ji came to rescue me, he found out that I was actually a girl. General Ji was loyal and wanted to report to Your Majesty immediately. I know that this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. I am extremely terrified and I beg General Ji with tears in my eyes to let me live."

"General Ji agreed to keep the secret for me only after I begged him so much and took pity on me. But after I returned to the capital, I thought over and over again. If I let General Ji commit the crime of deceiving the emperor because of my selfishness, I would be guilty of it. So I made up my mind to surrender myself to Your Majesty and apologize. The letter to General Ji is about this matter..."

Yan Qing knelt down and rushed forward a few steps, then threw himself in front of Zhan Yuan, tears welling up in his eyelashes, and every word he spoke was bleing.

"No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault. I am willing to bear all the responsibility and die to atone for my sins. I only ask Your Majesty not to implicate innocent people and forgive my family. Even in the afterlife, I will be grateful for Your Majesty's grace!"

Zhan Yuan remained silent for a long while, his deep pupils like a deep pool, looking down at Yan Qing. Yan Qing felt terribly cold all over, and shivered slightly unconsciously. After many years of military career, she felt the murderous intent flashing across Zhan Yuan.

Zhan Yuan reached out and lifted up Yan Qing's tear-stained face. Yan Qing felt icy cold and shivered even more. Zhan Yuan looked at Yan Qing carefully and said softly with a smile.

"I used to think you were pretty and beautiful. Today, after a closer look, I discovered that you have skin as white as cream and a fragrance as fragrant as orchids. You are actually a beautiful lady. I was fooled by you."

"I will be punished by death..."

"Stop talking about death penalty all the time. I promoted and taught you, how could I bear to let you die?" Zhan Yuan gently wiped away the tears on Yan Qing's face.

"I am grateful for your sincere loyalty and will pardon your crime of deceiving the emperor. However, since I ascended the throne, there has never been a precedent for women to serve as officials in the court. You, the chief minister of the cabinet and the prince's tutor, naturally cannot do so..."

"I thank Your Majesty for sparing my life. Your Majesty's sincere love and kindness make me feel ashamed. I will resign and return home, and will not cause any more trouble to Your Majesty..."

Zhan Yuanqing interrupted with a smile, "I'm used to the trouble you've caused me, so I don't mind this. Although you're a girl, you're incredibly talented and your intelligence far exceeds that of men. Since you became an official, you've helped me a lot, and you're indeed a talent that can be cultivated."

"How can I bear to let your precious pearl be buried in the dust? How about I make you my concubine, let you stay by my side, and continue to relieve my worries?"

Yan Qing clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, his fingertips dug into his palms, and a shy smile appeared on his face.

"When I saw Your Majesty during the palace examination, I admired you. I am where I am today because of your guidance and training. I am very grateful. I wish I could be with Your Majesty and serve you in this life..."

Zhan Yuan laughed out loud, obviously very satisfied with Yan Qing's answer. He left a word and strode out of the hall.

"From now on, stop calling yourself a minister and call yourself a concubine!"

Yan Qing closed his eyes and said yes obediently.

The tense body suddenly relaxed, and Yan Qing knelt down in the hall as if exhausted. In any case, this hurdle for today was passed.

"I don't know why, but when I see you, I always think of an old friend from my youth. You two are obviously not similar at all... I may really be old..."

Zhan Yuan said this lightly, and Yan Qing froze in place instantly, with cold sweat drenching his whole body.

Fortunately, Zhan Yuan had already walked away at this moment, and Yan Qing's pale face and complex expression full of hatred could no longer be seen...

"Card!"

There was thunderous applause all around, especially from the screenwriter Xie Chichi, whose hands turned red from clapping excitedly.

Xie Chichi rushed over to help Qin Xi up from the cold floor tiles. This long scene, shot in one take, had huge emotional ups and downs and complex transitions, which made Qin Xi physically and mentally exhausted. It can be said that she managed to finish the performance in one breath. The last moment of her collapse due to exhaustion was a completely instinctive reaction that fit the character.

Xie Chichi didn't understand why her father had to spend so much effort to make Qin Xi the heroine. After watching Qin Xi's performance, she realized that the old man was wise and her father was really wise! Her second creation made the script more vivid and lively. As a screenwriter, Xie Chichi has completely fallen in love with Qin Xi's performance.

Just like today's scene, it is often best to do it in one take, because the emotional state of the first take is often the fullest, and it will be difficult not to lose energy in the next take.

But this kind of scene is the most difficult to perform in one take. The complex emotional changes are difficult to control accurately, which tests the actor's skills.

The protagonists of this scene are Qin Xi and Xi Zan. These two people are the most reassuring and have never failed on the set. The two of them combine powerful forces and rely on each other to make the performance of this scene perfect.

Director Xie was quite satisfied with the performance in this scene, and said to prepare for the next scene. That meant Xi Zan could finish work, and Qin Xi would have to wait. Qin Xi had too many scenes, and she was indispensable in every scene.

Xi Zan keeps work and life separate and is always the most proactive after work. But today's scene made him feel deeply emotional and he chatted with Qin Xi for the first time.

"I can't believe it. You're only 23 years old. I'm also experienced. I've been acting for longer than you are. But when we were acting together just now, I looked into your eyes and felt that you were so powerful that I almost couldn't catch it..."

Xi Zan sighed, "I have always thought that I am a person of both talent and hard work. Now that I have met you, I know that there are always people better than you. The market recognizes you for a reason. It is true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. I cannot help but accept it!"

Qin Xi saw that Xi Zan's eyes were full of admiration and envy, and he couldn't help feeling guilty. Who made me return to the Novice Village with full-level equipment? Especially for the play [The Legend of Yan Qing], it really comes with full buffs.

Seeing Qin Xi's ashamed expression, Xi Zan couldn't help but admire him even more. He was so young but had such great skills. Not only was he not arrogant at all but he was also so humble. He really had the demeanor of a great general!

At this time, the girl who played Wutong, the imperial concubine, ran over excitedly with a look of anticipation on her face.

"Teacher Qin Xi, can I have a scene with you?"
