Before the live stream started, Lu Shen's bodyguards had already bought melon seeds and wine, and sat quietly waiting for Jian Ruoxi's live stream.
Lu Shen planned to work overtime at the company today, so he gave A-Jie the day off early.
"Tonight is the young mistress's first live broadcast, we must give her the utmost respect," A-Jie instructed the other bodyguards.
"Yes," everyone answered in unison.
They are all rigorously trained bodyguards who have been tested in different environments, so they are more than capable of acting as a group of online trolls for live streaming.
Five minutes before the live stream begins.
Jian Ruoxi had finished her makeup. The stylist, following Ran Jie's request, gave her a light and natural makeup look, which, combined with her loungewear, made her appear very approachable.
"I'm a little nervous. What if I say something wrong?" This is her first live stream, and she's really afraid she'll mess it up.
Ran Jie turned around and first checked Jian Ruoxi's makeup. Seeing that it perfectly met his requirements, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, that's good." He beckoned Jian Ruoxi over. "Just relax during the live stream."
"Just treat it as a casual chat with your fans. If there are things you can't say, I'll give you a hand gesture."
Although he gave the artists a lot of freedom in live streaming, he would always be watching them live.
To prevent them from saying things they shouldn't when they get carried away during the live stream.
Be careful online.
Lu Jin also came over to comfort Jian Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, don't worry, we're right here."
Jian Ruoxi took a few deep breaths; this was even more nerve-wracking than filming a movie.
Five minutes passed quickly. Jian Ruoxi calmed herself down, put one hand on the mouse, and clicked the "Start Live Stream" button.
Her image immediately appeared on the computer screen.
As soon as the live stream was open, the bodyguards jumped in almost instantly and urged the others to join as soon as possible.
"Quickly, the young mistress's live stream has started. Don't just stand there, hurry up and go in."
So from the very first second Jian Ruoxi's live stream started, a steady stream of people began entering the room.
"It might not be appropriate for us to call out the young mistress's name directly in the live stream," the bodyguards said cautiously.
They are different from other fans.
"It seems so. We can't call her that directly. If the young master finds out that we're disrespectful to the young mistress, we'll definitely be punished."
But you can't just call her "Young Madam" directly.
The title "Young Madam" was tacitly approved by the young master, but in reality, the young master and young madam had been divorced for some time.
They didn't know what the young mistress thought of the young master, so they didn't dare to call her "young mistress" directly.
In the end, Ah Jie reacted quickly and suggested that they just call Jian Ruoxi by her identity from the hit drama.
"Call her Young Madam Empress."
It has both prestige and respect.
Everyone thought it sounded plausible, so in Jian Ruoxi's live stream, everyone was saying "Hello, Your Majesty the Empress."
Those who came in later followed suit and shouted along with the bodyguards.
Seeing netizens jokingly calling her that, Jian Ruoxi's nervousness eased considerably, and she greeted everyone generously.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ruoxi, welcome to my live stream."
"They even called her the Empress, so it seems everyone really likes the character I'm playing."
Using the title everyone was calling her, Jian Ruoxi naturally began discussing the characters in the drama with them.
"The current episodes are still set in the early stages of the Queen's life, a time when she believes in love and trusts her partner."
"I'm sure everyone saw a lot of sweet moments between the Emperor and Empress while watching the show."
As the characters converse, it's inevitable that the male protagonist, Su Ziyu, will be brought up.
This is their second drama together, and fans of the pairing of Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu have already appeared online.
Upon hearing Jian Ruoxi mention Su Ziyu, fans flooded the live stream with requests for Su Ziyu to join as well.
"Everyone seems to really want Ziyu to do a live stream too. I wonder if Ziyu has any work today."
As soon as he finished speaking, many fans left the live stream and went to Su Ziyu's Weibo to leave messages.
"Ziyu, come out quickly! Your Empress is live-streaming. Such a grand occasion cannot be without you, the Emperor."
"Exactly, we really want to see the Emperor and Empress together in the same frame."
Ran Jie and Lu Jin also opened Jian Ruoxi's live stream on the sofa, and they could see the comments from the viewers clearly.
"Should we let Ziyu come out now?" Lu Jin suggested.
She knew that Ran Jie had deliberately arranged for Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu to appear together tonight in order to create a buzz.
Everyone's emotions are running high right now, so isn't it perfect to let Ziyu come out?
But Ran Jie shook his head, "It's not the right time yet."
He even sent Su Ziyu a message, telling him to wait before going live and to follow his instructions.
Jian Ruoxi waited for so long but Su Ziyu still didn't come up. Since the live stream was on, she couldn't directly ask Ran Jie, who was sitting opposite her.
A hint of worry crept onto her face; could something have gone wrong with Ziyu's live stream?
Fans were frustrated because they couldn't get Su Ziyu to come over even by calling out to him on his Weibo.
Jian Ruoxi noticed the emotions of everyone in the live stream and quickly stepped forward to comfort them.
"Ziyu probably has some work tonight, so let's not bother him for now. We can do a live stream with him another time."
Jian Ruoxi quickly moved on to the next topic.
She briefly chatted with her fans about what she did before preparing for the role of the Empress.
"I started thinking a long time ago about how to play an empress well."
"As everyone knows, this drama is full of concubines, all kinds of beauties, and there is also a favored concubine who is the most favored in the palace. If this character is not portrayed well, the empress will not be able to highlight her importance."
Therefore, she takes extra care in shaping her posture every day, and she will take lessons with a posture coach when she is not filming.
She wouldn't presume to say she was the most beautiful of all the concubines in the drama, but her demeanor was probably the best.
Netizens praised Jian Ruoxi's efforts in portraying the character, and some even typed in the public chat that they would learn from her.
Ran Jie saw that it was about time, and only then did he send a message to Su Ziyu, who was waiting anxiously on the other side.
"Alright, you can come in now."
Upon receiving the notification, Su Ziyu immediately entered Jian Ruoxi's live stream.
If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by his status as a public figure, he would have entered the live stream the very first second Jian Ruoxi started it.
His ID had barely appeared, and before he even uttered his first sentence, he was immediately recognized by sharp-eyed netizens.
"Oh my god, Ziyu really came in, I just saw him."
"Where? Where? Is it true? We really brought Ziyu over."
