Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City

Chapter 250: Concubine Means Homewrecker

“Hey, Yan Jinyi, you…”

Seeing the huge commotion, everyone scurried over to stop the fight.

When the director, Chen Keyi, heard the commotion, he rushed over and lost his temper right on the spot.

“If you don’t want to stay in this crew, get lost immediately!” After saying that, he glared at the actress and threatened, “Xu Xiaoshan, you should be well aware of how you got the supporting role. Don’t force me to fire you.”

Upon hearing his words, Xu Xiaoshan shuddered and hurriedly bowed and apologized.

At the same time, she developed a grudge against Yan Jinyi.

Although Yan Jinyi was the second female lead, she was playing the empress who had an extremely beautiful and opulent costume and makeup.

Liu Ran was playing the female lead. Although she ended up with only the position of the noble consort, her position was higher than Yan Jinyi and hence her costume was much more luxurious.

A large-scale palace harem drama as such would require a cast size of at least twice of that of ordinary television dramas, especially actresses who had to play the six most beautiful women of the palace.

In addition, there was also the male lead, two supporting actors, and several veteran actors. In total, there were more than 20 actors and actresses who came to have their stills taken.

The actor playing the emperor was Cao Peiqing, who was famous in the entertainment industry for being an eligible bachelor. He was almost 40 years old but was still unmarried.

However, he worked out regularly to maintain a good figure and he looked rather youthful too. Despite being at this age, he could still hold a candle to several young hunks.

Yan Jinyi, Liu Ran, and Cao Peiqing were going to be photographed together in one of the stills.

Cao Peiqing was dressed in an emperor’s robe with a coronet on his head. Seated on the chair, he looked exceptionally majestic.

There was an empty seat beside him.

Liu Ran reapplied her makeup and was ready to sit on it, but Yan Jinyi who was in front of her walked past and beat her to it.

Liu Ran’s gaze was filled with displeasure but she forced herself to smile. “Jinyi, you…”

Yan Jinyi was adjusting the loose hem of her dress and when she heard her words, she pointed at the spot beside Cao Peiqing and said, “Oh, you can just stand there.”

‘What do you mean? I’m the female lead and you want me to stand?’

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoshan couldn’t help but berate, “Hey, Yan Jinyi, what is wrong with you? You’re just the supporting actress while Liu Ran is the leading actress. That seat belongs to Liu Ran, you should be the one standing!”

Yan Jinyi glanced at her and asked calmly, “An empress and a noble consort, who holds greater authority?”

With a look of contempt, Xu Xiaoshan exclaimed, “Don’t you have any common sense? Of course it’s the empress!”

Yan Jinyi grinned before returning to her expressionless state. “Since you’re aware of that, what are you still being so cocky for? Shouldn’t the empress be seated next to the emperor? Why would it be given to the home wrecker?”

‘Homewrecker? Is Yan Jinyi calling me a homewrecker?’ Liu Ran was furious.

Bent on sucking up to Liu Ran, Xu Xiaoshan said arrogantly as if she had gotten some evidence against Yan Jinyi. “How dare you say that Liu Ran is a homewrecker? Yan Jinyi, you don’t want to make a living in this industry anymore, do you?”

“The emperor’s lawful wife is the empress, and all other concubines or noble consort or whatever, are all mistresses and homewreckers in modern terms.”

‘I came from the ancient era but I know better than you!’

Many staff members followed suit and nodded.

Xu Xiaoshan was speechless for a moment and she looked at Liu Ran with a flushed face.

Liu Ran smiled before saying, “Yes, Jinyi is right, in the drama she is the empress while I’m the noble consort. She should be seated. It’s only right that I stand.”

After saying that, she walked towards the spot beside Cao Peiqing and stood in place.

While everyone was praising Liu Ran for her good temper, they began to detest Xu Xiaoshan even more.

However, they couldn’t help it because she managed to join the crew by pulling connections.
