The prince on the high platform had already been stunned, staring intently, holding the wine glass in his hand and forgetting to put it down.

Even after the drums stopped beating, he did not come back to his senses for a long time, staring at the beauty on the corridor and the waterside pavilion with eyes full of obsession.

The attendant beside him saw this and realized that he had escaped a disaster and had done the right job, and immediately ordered everyone on the stage to come forward.

The dancer was picked up by the officials and sons of the nearby officials and brought to the same table with them.

As for the one in the center, it is naturally——

The attendant stretched out his hand, motioning the girl in the silk dress who had astonished everyone to go to the side of the main prince.

The prince's eyes were fixed on her, and his gaze moved with her as she moved with the pipa in her arms. He was so eagerly waiting that he didn't notice.

The girl lifted her skirt and stepped up the stairs closer to him, passing the guards. One moment she was smiling charmingly and gracefully, but the next moment she lowered her head with a cold murderous intent in her eyes.

In an unnoticed corner, her hand had already touched the poisoned soft blade at her waist. The soft blade was glowing and extremely sharp. Once it was activated, it would kill instantly.

However, just when she was about to pull it out, at the critical moment -

"She, I want her."

A low, magnetic and cold voice came from the sky. Just by hearing the voice but before seeing the person, one could already feel a sense of oppression and control.

Everyone looked back.

A man in black stood tall on the arch bridge connecting to the main hall, with his black hair standing up and a jade crown on his head. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and stood with his hands behind his back. A silver mask half covered his face, revealing his angular jaw and thin lips stained red.

The mask covered his face, but it couldn't hide his temperament which was as pure and elegant as a pine tree, and as gloomy as cold jade.

His appearance brought the whole audience into silence, and although the banquet was interrupted, no one dared to blame him easily.

Even the prince who was sitting on the main seat was stunned for a while, then he smiled in surprise: "Master Zhongli, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please take a seat."

He signaled to his attendants to arrange a seat of honor.

But the man did not move. His eyes from under the mask were fixed on the slender and beautiful figure. His voice was devoid of emotion: "Why don't you come over now?"

Everyone present knew that the prince had chosen that dancer, but they could also see clearly that the prince was particularly respectful and wary of the man in black.

Now, this man also wants this dancer...

The attendant leading the way froze in place, not knowing what to do.

The prince remained silent, his face looking a little ugly. He finally found a girl that caught his eye, and she was so stunningly beautiful... But no matter how reluctant he was, he had to give her up with reluctance.

He turned his head and forcefully averted his gaze from the girl, smiling fakely, "Since Master Zhongli is so kind to you, why don't you go and serve me, you blind thing?"

“…”

Ah Zhao's eyes instantly turned red with hatred. Just one step, just one step away, and she could kill the beast and avenge Zhu'er. How could she be willing to retreat? !

But he didn't give her time to pause.

A huge shadow covered over, and a cool and refreshing scent belonging to a man came. A big hand grasped the waist, and then the body turned lightly.

By the time she reacted, she had fallen into someone's arms. She raised her head and met a pair of deep eyes as dark as ink.

The owner of the eyes glanced at her lightly and then looked away without emotion.

He simply held her in his arms and sat at the table, letting her sit in his arms in a very ambiguous posture.

“…”

“Cut!”

"OK, stop."

As soon as Director Hu's voice came through the loudspeaker, everyone on the set relaxed.

"The others are taking a break, Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan will stay."

"Sheng Yuan, wait a moment, don't move."

Sheng Yuan turned around.

Director Hu came over with a rolled-up script in his hand, carrying a small stool. He sat down next to the two of them, his brows furrowed slightly.

"You guys handled your emotions and demeanor pretty well just now."

"But I'm not satisfied."

There is no big or small on the set, and Director Hu is a man of his word. He always speaks his mind and likes to get straight to the point. "Shi Yan, your body movements at the end of this scene are not natural."

Director Hu said with a serious expression, "Although it's not too obvious under the camera, I'm sure you noticed it very clearly."

Cubs?...

Sheng Yuan raised her head to look at Shi Yan. During the time they were filming, Zizi seldom made mistakes. He was basically a "three-good student" in Director Hu's eyes, with few NGs and the least worry-free.

It is rare to see Director Hu "criticize" him in such a serious manner.

Shi Yan didn't say anything, but pursed his thin lips as if he agreed.

He subconsciously looked at Sheng Yuan.

She was still sitting in his arms.

The girl's hair was beaded with beads of silk, her bare white feet were suspended in the air, and her misty blue skirt flowed down closely against his calves. She sat coquettishly in his arms, looking up at him with a pair of bright and lively almond eyes.

His limbs seemed to be covered with rust. He quietly held her, stiff and not daring to move, because if he moved a little, he would easily touch her waist and slender arms. The distance was really close, so close that the tassel hairpin at the end of her bun was against his neck, shaking coldly.

His face was hidden by a silver mask.

Shi Yanqi's eyes were stunned, his long cold eyelashes moved slightly, and his mind was full of - she is so beautiful.

His bent arms unconsciously closed around her.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the state we need! Why was I a little distracted just now?" Director Hu clapped the script in his hand into the palm of his other hand and nodded continuously to see the effect he wanted.

"Shi Yan, let's just repeat the plot again, is that ok?"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Director Hu stood up and said, "Okay, they are all good kids. They get it right away."

"The next scene is also very important. Please rehearse it a few more times. If you are unsure about anything, feel free to ask me. I have to go eat first. I have a meeting with your assistant director later, so I will leave first."

"By the way, you guys should go eat first. You still have to eat on time. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel."

Director Hu left after mumbling something, and halfway through his walk, he suddenly turned back and looked.

The young man sat on a low stool with a straight and broad figure, which blocked most of the girl's figure. One could only see that she was in his arms, revealing a piece of gauze and her slender ankles.

A pleasing picture.

Director Hu sighed, with a hint of pride in his expression - the kids in his crew were really good-looking.

He withdrew his gaze, took out his cell phone from his pocket, made a call, and the cheerful voice gradually faded away.

"Hello, Lao Jiang, I'm Lao Hu."

"Ah, I've always wanted to thank you. You always introduce me to any good seedlings you have. Treat me to a meal? Of course, of course. I'll definitely treat you when I'm free some other day, definitely..."
