The Emperor had seen passed the Empress intentions. Her unhappy face immediately turned into a smile as she became more relaxed. The tension and pressure she gave others earlier on was gone.

The Empress flipped through the list of girls. She barely took much of a look before placing the list to one corner. She probably didnt even read the names clearly and this showed that whoever the Emperor wanted to marry, the Empress wouldnt stop him.

She knew clearly that even though he was her son, he was also the one in charge of the country.

She couldnt afford to offend him.

At that moment, a warm light landed on her face and the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes became even clearer. However, the light that landed within her eyes were soft and wise.

Her silver hair only served to accentuate the fact that she was a peaceful elder. However, one shouldnt neglect the wise gleam that was in her eyes from time to time.

Within this palace, there were many smart people. There were many smart girls but only the Empress was the real smart one. She could see past many things and it was a smartness that separated her from the rest.

No matter what turmoil there was, it couldnt affect her emotions.

Yi Ling used a coat to wrap Yan Huan. How are you, are you cold? It is getting colder today and you are wearing so little. This must be hard on you.

It is fine. Yan Huan pulled at the wig that she wore atop her hair before gesturing at it. Just that this is pretty heavy, do you want to try it?

Alright. Yi Ling took it over and placed it on her head. She did want to test how heavy it was and anyway it was night and they had stopped filming. She wanted to be an Empress too and to satisfy this itch of hers.

Yan Huan took down her wig and placed it onto Yi Lings head. In an instant, Yi Ling felt her head weighing down, almost like a large steel lump.

Oh my god, it is so heavy!

Yi Ling quickly held up her head. She was afraid the weight of it might crush her neck. It was really hard on Yan Huan, she had to walk around with it the entire day and had to put it on for more than ten hours each day.

She still thought it would be easy. In fact, it wasnt easy at all and it was almost a torture.

How can you wear it and move around?

She placed the enormous wig aside before placing her hand on Yan Huans shoulders. She then touched her small neck. Did it really not break? She couldnt afford to break her neck. She would be gone if that happened. Who was gonna take care of her?

I have gotten used to it. Yan Huan felt her neck. It constantly left her with a back and hip ache but it was indeed a matter of getting used to it.

The actors and actresses looked incredibly glamorous from the outside but the pain within was something only they understood.

This was indeed a highly-dangerous profession.

At night in their hotel room, Yan Huan didnt even want to move after she had showered. However, she still took her script and looked through it. She was supposed to film the scene where the emperors wife entered the palace. Concubine Mi, Imperial Concubine Yao, Concubine Li as well as the other women. This was considered a big scene in the palace. No wonder there was so much money invested and so many investors. The number of actors and actresses over here easily reached thousands and was almost like a huge historic scene.

Even though this script was made-up and was different from history, such a huge palace scene was something that had not been seen before. Hence for a long time, die-hard drama fans started their many months of chasing after this TV show.
