57 Concubine Xi And Her Maid (2/2)
'The last scene's characters were Concubine Xi and Concubine Xi's maid
Yinlan.'
'They were inside Concubine Xi's room and it was nighttime
so they didn't need to use excessive lighting.'
'He Xinyan sat down on the seat at the dining table and watched as Li Yuyan slowly walked over. A smirk appeared on Xinyan's lips as Li Yuyan stopped at the edge of the door.'
'”Beautiful Things Past
Scene 73
Take 1
Action!”'
'Li Yuyan walked over in her maid outfit and bowed slightly in front of Concubine Xi.'
'”What did the emperor say?” Concubine Xi asked as she took a gentle sip of tea.'
'Yinlan looked down
”Concubine Xi
the emperor refused.”'
'Concubine Xi smiled softly and looked out the window at the moon
”I should have guessed. . . Yinlan
bring over the tub and help me wash my feet.”'
'Li Yuyan clenched her teeth together tightly but followed the script as she walked away and came back with a small tub of water and rose petals.'
'Concubine Xi placed her feet in and waited.'
'”Cut! Li Yuyan
what are you doing?”'
'He Xinyan smiled gently and looked at Li Yuyan with one eyebrow raised. Concubine Xi's maid was supposed to help Concubine Xi wash her feet
but of course Li Yuyan didn't want to.'
'At this moment
Gu Yebei took this moment to yawn
”Ah
can we hurry up? Everyone is tired and wants to go home. Who even is this small actress? Does she even know how to act?”'
'He Xinyan held in a laugh. Gu Yebei had quite a harsh tongue.'
'”Again!”'
'They started their second take and this time
Li Yuyan did bend down to help He Xinyan wash her feet. He Xinyan watched her with a sly smile and gently lifted her feet up
”accidentally” kicking some water onto Li Yuyan's face.'
'Li Yuyan gasped and pressed her lips together tightly. She looked up at He Xinyan
who shrugged slightly and kicked her other foot up too.'
'Li Yuyan took deep breaths and quickly pretended to wash He Xinyan's feet before standing up. She grabbed the tub and walked away.'
'”Cut! Cut! Did you even read the script? You have to wipe Concubine Xi's feet before walking away! If you can't act then get out of here!”'
'Li Yuyan shuddered and almost dropped the tub of water as she slowly walked back. Even though she was only an illegitimate child
she was still spoiled and treated like a princess in the He family. No one has screamed at her like this before
but she couldn't do anything about it.'
'Everyone knew that Ma Qiaoqi didn't care if you were a child of a rich family or anything
he would scream and scold you either way. There were even some rumors saying that he himself was also a child of a rich and powerful family
so he didn't care.'
'They ended up filming again
and once again
He Xinyan provoked Li Yuyan by kicking up the water in the tub. Li Yuyan was blocking the view so the camera or the crew couldn't notice.'
'He Xinyan wasn't some nice person
and she didn't pretend to act like one either. She knew perfectly well that if Gu Yechen hadn't helped her and she ended up getting the maid while Li Yuyan the concubine
Li Yuyan would do the same to her
maybe even worse. So why couldn't she do the same?'
'Li Yuyan clenched her teeth together tightly and finished the scene correctly after the third take.'
'”Cut! Okay
we are done for today! Good work
everyone!” Ma Qiaoqi stood up from his chair and walked away.'
'He Xinyan scoffed before also walking away to change. Li Yuyan stood at the same place with water dripping from her hands as she tightly clenched her fists together.'
'”He Xinyan. . .” She said through gritted teeth.'
'---'
'After saying goodbye to Gu Yebei
Yang Siyue
and Wu Minger
He Xinyan returned home. She arrived before Li Yuyan did
and she walked upstairs into her room.'
'She was surprised to see that her lights were open
and He Xinyan was sure that she had remembered to close them when she left.'
'After dropping off her bag and keys
she walked in to see someone laying straight on the center of her bed.'
'”Gu Yechen?!”'
