Chapter 883: Are the Pomegranates Sweet

“Busy?”

“Busy, but without you here, I can’t focus on anything.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the sky, “In a few days, the crew on Chu Yao’s set is big.

I’m there to work.

If you come, I won’t be able to work properly.”

Bo Yanching really wanted to refuse, the words were at the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back.

“Alright, then I’ll finish up my work and come find you in a few days.

We’ll meet outside.”

Oh, now there’s no reason to say no.

Outside the airport, Chu Yao sent an assistant to pick her up.

The filming location was set up in the mountains.

Scenes involving this place from the beginning to the end of the script were shot together.

On the way there, Nan Jiaojiao reviewed the story.

At this time, it should be the part where the empress, played by Chu Yao, follows the emperor to the battlefield.

She gets captured but is rescued by two private armies she personally trained.

Crisis looms on the emperor’s side, the empress is pregnant, and neither enemy nor ally generals know it.

Half of the people around her have been replaced by enemy spies, but she waits for the right moment to expose all moles.

Therefore, she can’t trust outsiders and is only accompanied by a female swordsman and two maids who’s served her since childhood.

During this period, the clothing for the distressed empress is more gentle, not as heavy as winter clothes or armor, mainly in shades of blue.

Nan Jiaojiao designed a set of 11 outfits themed on orchids, bamboo, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms.

She had to personally oversee many details and modifications herself, and that’s why Pei Dongshi insisted on bringing her into the project.

The car drove into the set and stopped before reaching the filming area.

The assistant led Nan Jiaojiao to Chu Yao’s trailer and then left.

Nan Jiaojiao was familiar with the place, so she took a can of milk tea from the fridge, tossed in the tea powder and coconut jelly, and made herself a warm cup, noticing a pile of pomegranates next to a jug of pomegranate juice on the table.

All the way in, almost everyone had a big pomegranate.

Even if not in hand, there were several crates on the ground, anyone could just help themselves.

Nan Jiaojiao peeled one.

This variety was quite pricey.

“Is it good?”

Chu Yao, wearing the costume, just came in and took off the outer layer, adjusting the temperature higher in the trailer.

She strides over, hikes up her skirt, and sits opposite Nan Jiaojiao, placing one foot on the sofa.

Nan Jiaojiao almost choked on a few pomegranate seeds.

“For heaven’s sake, even if it’s not stitched by me, I designed it.

A nice, elegant, dignified main wife of a noble household outfit, and you’re sitting like a bandit.”

Chu Yao tugged at her collar, fanning herself inside, gave her a sideways glance, “I just practiced martial arts in the scene, I’m hot.

Why should I cover up in front of you?

You’ve seen me without anything on.”

As she spoke, she hiked her skirt higher, reached in, and pulled out a fabric pillow, tossing it onto the table.

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes followed the fabric pillow thrown on the table, swallowed silently, “Your baby fell out.”

“Ah,” Chu Yao shrugged it off, “Three months gone.”

“…” Beast.

“Are the pomegranates sweet?

Your man sent them over last night.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s hand shook slightly, “What did you threaten him with?”

Chu Yao looked unbothered, “I didn’t threaten him, just took advantage of being your best friend.

Last night, besides sending pomegranates, he also sent over Yeh Xiao and covered the crew’s meals and midnight snacks for the next three days.”
