Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Everyone had been filming together for a week.

They got along quite well, but Ji Qiuying and Ning Mengmeng were the only ones who didnt act together. The main reason was that the two of them didnt get along.

This

Today, after interacting with each other for so long, they finally got to act together.

In the past few days, the third female lead had been shown marrying the emperor, but she had never seen the emperor. However, because she was born with great beauty and had a good relations.h.i.+p with the female lead, the second female lead, Concubine Liang, was jealous and wanted to get rid of the female leads minions first.

Today was the day that the second female consort, Consort Liang, asked the third female n.o.ble to go to her palace.

At this moment, Consort Liang, Ji Qiuying, was sitting on the main seat while Ning Mengmeng was kneeling on the ground.

Greetings, Consort Liang.

Ning Mengmeng was neither servile nor overbearing. Her manners were also very good.

However, without Consort Liangs orders, she could not get up.

Ji Qiuying looked at Ning Mengmeng coldly, the hatred in her eyes unconcealed.

In the script, the second female lead was a domineering and unruly character. However, because she had a good family background, the emperor turned a blind eye in most cases.

Ji Qiuying looked at Ning Mengmeng coldly. Raise your head.

Ning Mengmeng obediently raised her chin a little, but out of respect, she could not raise it all up, let alone meet Consort Liangs eyes.

But

Ji Qiuyings face turned cold. I told you to look up. Are you deaf?! Or are you ignoring bengongs words?

The questioning in her words was particularly strong, and there was even hidden killing intent.

Ning Mengmengs eyes flashed slightly but she still said respectfully, Consort Liang, since ancient times, there has been a rule. When people of lower status bow, they are not allowed to raise their heads to look at people of higher status. Today, I have not raised my head. I hope you can forgive me for my innocence.

Ji Qiuyings expression froze. You!

Her expression was extremely ugly, and even the hands on her thighs instantly clenched into fists.

Obviously, she was waiting for Ning Mengmeng here, but she didnt expect her to say it herself.

Ji Qiuying was so angry that she laughed.

Bengong forgives you for your innocence.

This time, Ning Mengmeng finally raised her head completely, but she still did not look straight at Consort Liang, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with her.

Ji Qiuyings face darkened when she saw Ning Mengmengs stunning face.

However, she still sneered and said, What a face that is so shy that it makes the flowers blush. Its not an exaggeration to describe a n.o.ble person like this. Ning Mengmeng lowered her head slightly. Your Majesty, you flatter me.

She was still kneeling on the ground when Ji Qiuying suddenly stood up. She walked forward step by step and held Ning Mengmengs chin with her armor-covered hand. Ji Qiuying sneered, Tsk, tsk- What a pretty face. I just dont know what to do if it gets swollen and disfigured.

Ning Mengmengs eyelashes fluttered and she looked up at Ji Qiuying subconsciously.

Consort, what do you mean?

Ji Qiuying pinched Ning Mengmengs jaw hard. Ning Mengmeng frowned in pain and immediately dodged backward.

Ji Qiuyings expression instantly turned cold. You dare to hide from me?! As she said that, she raised her hand and slapped Ning Mengmengs face!

Seeing that she was about to slap her, Ning Mengmeng also turned her face to the side, just to cooperate with the process of her slapping herself.

But

Cut!

Director Guo frowned. Ji Qiuying, whats wrong with you?

Obviously, Director Guo was very dissatisfied. Ning Mengmeng also looked at Ji Qiuying with some doubt.

In fact, she had calculated the position just now. When Ji Qiuyings hand landed on her face, she could just move her face to the side.

But However, Ji Qiuying did not hit her, which meant that her movements had stopped.

Ning Mengmeng was sure that she did it on purpose, but why?
