Chapter 36 Again
The first scene where they meet again is the Queen Mother's intention to arrange a marriage for the two, so she arranged for the two to meet in the palace first, but she couldn't completely abandon the harem's taboos, so she chose a pavilion and a waterside terrace, which was in full view of the public and allowed the two to talk without worry;
The reason for this arranged marriage was that three years ago, Dajing was defeated in the war and ceded the Nine Gates to Dayu State, and a ten-year peace agreement was made;
But now, only three years had passed since the ten-year agreement, and Dayu was ready to start a war again. However, it was not easy to ignore the agreement directly, so they sent an invitation letter, saying that it was the birthday of the Dayu crown prince, and they heard that Princess Jing'an was very beautiful, so they specially invited the princess to Dingzhou to attend the birthday banquet;
Dayu used this argument because he knew how important Princess Jing'an was in the heart of Emperor Yongning, and that he would definitely not agree to it. He just wanted to find a suitable excuse to start a war.
So the Queen Mother wanted to arrange her marriage as soon as possible so that she could be married off as a daughter and avoid the calamity of leaving her homeland;
She chose Lu Yuange, not only because Mrs. Lu was her sister, but also because she was truly thinking about Jing'an. The Lu family had two sons, and Lu Yuange was the second son. He was handsome, and the Lu family had a strict family tradition. Most importantly, he had no intention of pursuing a career in politics, so he was the best choice in her mind.
It was just that he seemed a little reluctant to come here today, which made the Queen Mother a little confused. But at the moment, she still wanted to facilitate the idea of the two of them meeting, so she arranged for someone to take him to the Fengting Waterside Pavilion in Changchun Garden;
Although Lu Yuange had no intention of pursuing a career in politics, he had a dream of traveling the world with a sword, so he was not very interested in the matter of Princess Shang.
Because once he gets married, it will be even more impossible for him to go out into the world, so he should think of a way to make the princess hate him;
He thought so in his heart, but the moment he saw Princess Jing'an, he seemed to be a little shaken. She obviously did nothing, just stood there looking at him. Lu Yuange thought of a word in his mind: radiant and brilliant;
He originally came to refuse the marriage, but Princess Jing'an only glanced at him, and his resistance was no longer so firm;
Food and sex are human nature, am I no exception, he asked himself;
After the palace maids left, Lu Yuange walked into the pavilion. Although he had already performed the greetings from a distance, as they stared at each other across the table, Lu Yuange still bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess."
After the rustling of her dress, Princess Jing'an stood up and whispered, "If we were to talk about it, you should call me cousin."
Lu Yuange raised his head. She had a faint smile on her face. The way she looked at him was just like an elder sister at home. The tension in her heart subsided a lot.
"Sit down, don't be nervous, today we are just talking as siblings, there is no need to be restrained";
After Lu Yuange sat down opposite her, he heard her continue: "I heard Ruyuan talk about you. She said that what you have longed for since childhood is the joy of the rivers and lakes. If I trap you in Shangjing City because of my marriage, it would be my sin."
A palace servant came to serve tea and snacks, and the two of them stayed quiet for a while, looking at the lake and the waterside pavilions;
After they left, Princess Jing'an comforted him and said, "Don't worry about what happened today. I will report it to the Queen Mother and resolve the matter properly."
"Why?" This was the second sentence Lu Yuange said and the first question he asked after entering the pavilion.
This question seemed to stump her;
During this silence, Lu Yuange continued, "There is an urgent report from Youzhou that the Kingdom of Dayu is sending an envoy to invite the princess to Dingzhou for a banquet, but the Queen Mother is so anxious to summon me to the palace. I think she wants to arrange your marriage before the envoy from Dayu makes his intentions known, and use this as an excuse to reject Dayu."
The Lu family originally came from Youzhou, so it was natural for them to get the news a little faster than others, so Princess Jing'an did not want to hide it and admitted it generously;
"good";
"If that's the case, why don't you accept the Queen Mother's arrangement?"
She was the first to say that they were talking as siblings, so he should be able to continue asking. Lu Yuange was waiting for Princess Jing'an's answer;
Jing'an did not answer this question, but changed the subject and said: "Ruyuan said that the name Yuan Ge was given to you by Madam Lu before she passed away";
At this time, why did he mention his name? Although Lu Yuange was puzzled, he still nodded and said, "Not bad";
"A child's name often reflects the expectations of his parents. Yuan Ge is what Mrs. Lu expects of you. Yuan Ge is also what I expect of Da Jing."
She answered very seriously and cautiously, and finally smiled faintly and said: "Yuan Ge, next time we meet, you can call me sister";
As he watched her retreating figure, Lu Yuange realized that in just one conversation, his attitude towards the princess had changed from resistance to worry.
He suddenly remembered a time when he was chatting with Sister Ruyuan and asked casually, what kind of person is the princess? Is she really as approachable as the people say?
Sister Ruyuan simply replied: "Princess is worthy of the title of Jing'an!";
The drama "The Heart" has a lot of lines, so almost everyone is reading the script or memorizing the lines. When He Yitang is acting as himself, he is also very good at memorizing lines, but Qiao Sitian herself is also very good at memorizing lines;
The combination of the two of them feels like a powerful alliance;
For those long lines, I basically read them twice and remember the general idea. I read them again before filming. No matter who I acted with, I never had any NGs because of the lines, which surprised the crew members.
This drama uses the original voice, so the advantage of her voice and the way she phrases herself makes it clearer to everyone, which gives people a sense of being well prepared for the role, and everyone thinks more highly of Qiao Sitian;
For a long story that is linked together, the director hopes that the actors can maintain their emotional performance as much as possible and it is best not to ask for leave from the crew at will. Qiao Sitian is fine, because her work is checked by Mrs. Qiao, who only looks at the quality, not the quantity;
But the others, more or less, have one or two jobs that they need to leave the crew to complete;
Among them was the leading actress Ye Xin. As she was the spokesperson for a big brand, it was difficult for her to refuse such business activities, so the director had to let her go and focus on filming other people's scenes.
It suddenly rained heavily during the filming that day, and everyone was forced to take a break. Because the scenes were set in the palace, everyone hid indoors, not too far away, and chatted in groups of three or five.
He Yitong stood in the corridor watching the rain. She was actually a little scared of crowded places. Perhaps because she was a ghost, she would have a natural fear of places where the breath of living people gathered.
Of course, this was all just her imagination;
It was simply because the room was too stuffy, with heavy colors, which made her feel a little depressed, and the rain forced the heat out of the ground, making the room a bit like a steamer;
"Is it hot?";
"fine";
After He Yitang answered, he realized that the person who spoke was Gu Jinfan, and stood up straight and said: "I thought it was Xiaotong, why are you here?"
Gu Jinfan said calmly: "It's too stuffy in there, let's go out and get some fresh air";
