Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Variety Shows When We’re Grown Up

Father, Mother.

The Imperial Palace was once his home.

Chu Xijin’s gaze was locked onto the rapidly passing buildings of the Imperial Palace, as if he was pulled back to Daqi in an instant.

Father’s gaze at him always seemed as if he were something dirty, often saying to him, “My young prince truly has an impressive bearing, excellent in martial arts, superb in literary skills, but you don’t look like a member of the Chu Family, do you think so, Crown Prince?”

At such times, he would be terrified, afraid that Father detested the Xiao Family and himself, and could only reply, “Father, all the elders are of noble countenance, I am still young, it is naturally difficult to resemble.”

Father would give him a look that was neither a smile nor a scowl.

Then he would call his siblings and grant them rewards, leaving out him, the Crown Prince.

The Imperial Tutor once said, “This is how Your Majesty tempers the Crown Prince.”

Back then, he did not understand but could only take it as true, until Father wanted to kill him.

A shadow and a flash of murderous intent passed through Chu Xijin’s eyes, and as the Imperial Palace disappeared from view, he regained his calm.

He rationally knew that it was a film set built in Hengdian.

“Xiao Jin?” Mu Ran tapped the little guy’s shoulder, his excited cry about the palace had made her a bit worried he was recalling something unpleasant.

“Aunt, what’s wrong?” Chu Xijin’s expression returned to normal, blinking his big eyes curiously as he asked her, “Aunt, do you have any historical films?”

“No.”

Mu Ran shook her head.

Now she’s trying out horror films, but the supernatural elements in horror films are too many, there is still a big gap from outright historical films.

As a child, she really loved everything about ancient times.

Back then, she especially loved reading time-travel novels, always thinking about traveling back to ancient times or her sister’s era, and then marrying a Prince or something like that.

Because at that time, her sister was also an innocent and lively girl, running freely on the prairie, pampered by parents, she wanted to travel back even more.

Later, as her sister stepped into the cage of the Imperial Palace step by step, she learned the truth as she grew up.

In ancient times, girls weren’t allowed to go out easily, had no right to make decisions about marriage, had no self.

Of course, she never experienced any of the above, couldn’t empathize. To her, the most important thing was, there were no mobile phones in ancient times!!!!

One thing overshadowed all.

The filter for ancient times shattered entirely.

As for outright historical films, Mu Ran thinks she can make them, but it will definitely require a lot of research, she doesn’t want to be nitpicked by “experts” after the film is released.

“Aunt, don’t you like ancient times?” Chu Xijin asked, he was quite eager for Aunt to make historical films.

“No, it’s just not the right time.”

Mu Ran would never say she dislikes any genre because every genre is a new experience, she never knows what the next film will be about.

But she is accustomed to abandoning the comfort zone, abandoning the sense of security.

In her new movie, she embarked on an unstoppable war.

The feeling of excitement and unease allows her to improve rapidly.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of an inn, this was their place of stay.

“Xiao Jin!” Zhu Wenzhen shouted, running towards him in surprise, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

After hugging him, she was jumping up and down with joy.

Chu Xijin kept his hands ready to catch her if she fell and said with a smile, “We’ve been busy attending kindergarten recently.”

“Yeah, yeah, I also have to attend enrichment classes, I really don’t like piano at all.” Zhu Wenzhen complained.

[You can tell from his expression, he really dislikes it.]

[I’m really curious, what kind of martial arts class did Xiao Jin enroll in? At just five years old, his combat skill is too formidable, right?]

[Piano is indeed the musical instrument that most parents are very persistent about!]

[Who understands, among family and friends, how harmonious children are, it’s such a beautiful picture when they hug and jump around after not seeing each other for a while.]

…

Zhu Wenzhen held Chu Xijin’s hand and entered the inn, “I heard this is also a filming location, this is the lobby on the first floor, it’s their Jianghu, where they exchange messages and also eat.”

“Feels quite interesting.” Chu Xijin looked around the inn, it’s much better than a common inn in Daqi.

Yang Yingying also appeared: “Dear parents and kids, today we’re embarking on a time-travel journey, how about we all change into ancient costumes later?”

“Are they clothes like Xiao Jin’s?”

The children asked one after another.

Yang Yingying glanced at Chu Xijin’s clothes, remembering they were custom-made by her sister-in-law at a cost, she diplomatically said, “They’re the same type.”

“Wow!” The little sister clapped her hands in delight, “Can I be a princess? There are princesses in ancient times.”

Yang Yingying nodded, “Yes, later you can choose clothes, okay? But you need to match your brother’s style.”

“Yay!” Lin Yuxian looked at her brother expectantly, “Brother, can we wear the same style of clothes?”

“Sure.” Lin Wen Yu agreed readily, but he was already feeling a bit anxious inside.

[Brother Lin’s expression, I have to laugh first, hahaha…]

[Brother Lin hasn’t had any announcements this month, is this a break? You’re now at a rising popularity phase, don’t slack off.]

[Career fans are truly everywhere.]

…

Following the guidance of the program crew, everyone went to see the costumes in the Hengdian historical experience area.

Collective silence.

Dragon robes and phoenix robes dominated the area.

Because tourists really want to experience the feeling of being an Emperor or Empress, there were more women’s attire left, children’s attire became increasingly few, and there were even fewer men’s attire.

Mu Ran frowned, “What kind of place did you choose? Is this a shop that specializes in taking photos for people in the tourist area? How could Hengdian’s costumes reach such a level?”

Yang Yingying was a bit embarrassed, “Congratulations, you guessed right, but we assure you these are new.”

“Thank you for being so considerate.”

Mu Ran was speechless.

She never expected she could really pull off something like this.

Yang Yingying chuckled and continued working, “The kids can choose their clothes first, but before selecting clothes, we need to play a little game, are you all willing to play?”

“No!” Zhu Wenzhen replied.

The remaining children also refused one after another.

Lin Yuxian was the angriest and almost wanted to cry, “Sister, you clearly just said you would give me a beautiful princess dress, but these dresses aren’t pretty at all, I don’t want to wear such clothes, I want clothes like Brother Xiao Jin has.”

“I’ll give you a few sets of historical costumes later.” Chu Xijin said.

Last time, Aunt Qikuo found a designer to custom-make clothes for him, he had kept the designer’s contact information, so he could ask the designer to make a few sets for his sister.

“But… I now need to shoot the program, I need to dress beautifully for the program.” Lin Yuxian pouted, “Otherwise, when I grow up and see how ugly I look in the variety show, I will definitely be very sad.”
