An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The cara was facing the dining table, and it coincidentally fild Ji Yao’s back. She had not moved for about 15 minutes, and the people at the table were chatting casually. The scene was slightly awkward.

Including the ti they had spent washing up, the show had already been on for about 35 minutes. The director urgently interrupted the broadcast with an advertisent and ca over to ask the children if they knew how to make poached eggs.

“Ji Yao didn’t make the poached eggs?” Lin Xue frowned and asked, “Then why didn’t she tell the truth?”

Of course, these words reached Ji Yao’s ears. Her body was clearly seen to tremble at this.

“It’s not important. Do you know how to do it?!” The director was anxious. The advertisent could only be played for five minutes at most!

At this mont, Gu Xiao, who had been watching the show, raised her hand. The director hurriedly pulled her into the kitchen. As he used the cara to film Gu Xiao’s actions, he used another cara to film Ji Yao’s face.

Good lord, he was using her as a replacent. However, she didn’t care. In any case, she had already achieved her goal.

Not long after, the eggs were ready. Moreover, they looked even better than the production team’s. They were even sprinkled with beautiful green onions. The production team did not have ti to care so much. After the advertisent ended, they broadcasted the edited segnt.

[Watching a beauty cook!]

[That’s not right. Why is Ji Yao only fild in separated parts? Why isn’t the caraman taking a full body shot?]

[It’s out! It looks even better than before!]

[Could it be specially made for her? My heart aches for the girls from the countryside. They’re really beautiful and kind!]

The director was about to vomit blood.

An Yang got her wish and ate her second serving. She was very happy. Moreover, Gu Xiao’s food was even better than Ji Yao’s, no, the production team’s. She already had a good impression of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao looked as innocent and harmless as ever, but Ji Yao’s face was dark. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh as if they wanted to draw blood.

After the brief interlude, they began to play an ice-breaking ga at the dining table. The rules were very simple. Everyone would say their na and what they liked. The toss of a dice would decide who went first. The first person to say their na and corresponding hobbies would randomly call out another person’s na and her hobbies. The person who was ntioned had to react imdiately. If they said the wrong thing or did not react in ti, it was equivalent to being eliminated. The last two people left behind would receive mysterious gifts from the production team.

Therefore, everyone quickly introduced themselves.

“My na is ng Fei. I like to dance.”

“My na is Lin Xue. I usually like to read.”

“My na is An Yang. I like to sing.”

“My na is Chen Li. I like knitting the most.”

The others looked at her at the sa ti. Chen Li hurriedly explained, “I usually knit yarn at ho. I knit sweaters for winter myself. My mother even praised !”

“My na is Gu Xiao. What I like is…” Gu Xiao thought for a mont. “Acting. I want to be an actress in the future.”

That was right. She had not acted in the imperial court for nothing in her previous life. To be able to erge victorious from among so many ambitious people, Gu Xiao was very confident in herself. She was the best at acting pitiful.

“Yao Yao, what about you? You’re the only one who didn’t say anything,” Lin Xue said. Although she was a little dissatisfied with her hiding the truth just now, they had chatted for a long ti last night, so she still had to act more cordially on the screen.

“I’ve already introduced myself yesterday. If you want to talk about hobbies… then I like to play the piano.”

After the introductions, the ga began.

The final outco of the dice roll was fir An Yang to start first. To be honest, she had not listened much. She only rembered that Ji Yao liked to play the piano and said directly, “Ji Yao, play the piano.”

Gu Xiao and the others would call out each other, but when it was the turn of the two girls who ca from the countryside, they would all be calling ‘Yao Yao’. In order to let Ji Yao be in the lilight, they were requested by the director after all. Hence, Ji Yao had always been ntioned. She was overwheld and beca the first person to be eliminated.

After Ji Yao was eliminated, the two rural girls were eliminated one after another.

As for the remaining three girls, Gu Xiao felt that the ga was aningless, so she deliberately said the wrong thing and got eliminated as she wished.

When this segnt was broadcasted, Ji Yao always being ntioned provided a highlight for the show. She had even been made into a “don’t cue ” emoticon and was popular for a while.

In Gu Xiao’s mory, the so-called mysterious reward should be a “half-day rest voucher”.

Although this show was a talent show disguised as a reality show, there had to be so main content. There was a huge forest of orange trees at the back of the villa. Now was the ti for the oranges to ripen. Their main task these few days was to pick oranges.

After the ice-breaking ga ended, it was already ten in the morning. The production team asked the teams to draw lots. One team would pick oranges, and the other would transport them back and forth. In the end, they had to sell them at the market.
