Having no appetite for food, Mingwei curled up on the sofa and kept reading entertainment news.
Mu Tingzhou's discharge from the hospital caused another wave of craze. Mingwei carefully read all the revelations and confirmed that she was not the princess, so she was relieved for the time being. But there would be endless troubles. If Mu Tingzhou was stubborn and believed that she was a princess, then with the sense of responsibility of the Grand Tutor, Mu Tingzhou would insist on "protecting" her. What if she was photographed by paparazzi...
Will there be any adverse effects
Actually, it was nothing. On the contrary, Mingwei could use Mu Tingzhou's fame to become famous, but Mingwei didn't want to take advantage of him. It was best to avoid it. Besides, Mu Tingzhou kowtowed and bowed all the time, which was really awkward to get along with. If An Xin took advantage of him, Mu's family and fans would be unhappy. If she didn't take advantage of him, she would have to take the initiative to hide, which would be a big burden for nothing.
WeChat dinged. It was Cheng Yao: I just came back from England. Do you want to have dinner with me
Mingwei smiled. Cheng Yao was also a wonderful person. During the conversation that night, Cheng Yao only said that his motivation for investing in "Da Ming" was because of her, and did not state that she relied on him to join the crew, but it was undeniable that Cheng Yao was deliberately misleading her. In fact, it was understandable that Cheng Yao wanted to reconcile, but unfortunately it backfired and exposed his ungentlemanly side.
Tell the truth, I believe that with Cheng Yao's self-esteem, he will never pester her again, but Ming Wei is not so reckless. The Cheng family is also a big shot in the imperial capital, why should she offend Cheng Yao so much? What if Cheng Yao gets angry and deliberately retaliates? People in society always have to be smooth, if they can't be lovers, they don't have to be enemies.
She simply replied: I have eaten.
They are all smart people. If she remains indifferent, Cheng Yao will understand her intentions and has already said the harsh words she should say.
This rejection was colder than the autumn wind in the evening in the capital. Outside Jingshan Community, Cheng Yao felt bitter. He hinted that Ming Wei had to rely on him to join the crew. This was already his bottom line. Ming Wei was calm about filming and did not change her attitude towards him. Cheng Yao was puzzled, but he could not ask. If he asked, it would be like asking for favors, which would make her even more annoyed.
"Then I'll go home first. We'll make an appointment when we're free." Cheng Yao typed slowly, touching Mingwei's life photo on the screensaver.
Mingwei didn't reply, put down her notebook and went to the bathroom.
When she came out, she heard the phone ringing. Mingwei picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
Cheng Yao changed his phone number
Mingwei hesitated a bit and raised the phone to her ear to answer it.
She was silent, and the other party was also silent. This attitude was too ambiguous. Ming Wei frowned: "Who are you?"
Mu Tingzhou: …
Hearing the princess' voice, the "Grand Master" who was using his mobile phone for the "first time" felt a strange feeling all over his body. After calming down for a moment, he said respectfully: "I am Mu Yun, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the princess from afar." Those people forced a name on him, but he remembered his real name.
The flowery words made Mingwei feel all goosebumps all over.
Touching her arm, Ming Wei said as gently as possible: "Mr. Mu, I have said many times that I am not a princess."
The other person is a patient, so she should be compassionate.
"I have said it many times, you are the Princess of the Ming Dynasty." Accustomed to cell phone calls, Mu Tingzhou said calmly.
Ming Wei was speechless. She sat back on the sofa. She touched her forehead and asked, "Let's not talk about this. What does Mr. Mu want to talk to me about?"
"Call me Taifu." Mu Tingzhou said majestically.
Mingwei wailed in her heart, and after thinking for a moment, she tried, "I can call you whatever I want." Isn't he the Grand Tutor? How dare he commit treason
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Mingwei's mood improved and she asked him his purpose again.
"I want to know how long the princess has been here." Mu Tingzhou walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view outside with complicated eyes.
Mingwei gave her date of birth immediately: "I am a native Chinese citizen, my hometown is Suzhou."
Mu Tingzhou learned the Gregorian calendar two days ago. After calculating the princess's age, he sneered: "The princess still looks the same as when you were fifteen years old, not twenty-two." He found another piece of evidence that he and the princess were in a virtual world.
Ming Wei almost laughed herself to death: "That's because the 15-year-old princess was played by the 22-year-old me."
Mu Tingzhou automatically included this sentence in the "Princess Amnesia Quotes" and continued to ask: "Does the princess have a maid to serve her?"
"No, I'm staying at a friend's house now."
"I need that person's identity and background."
"Personal*, sorry for not telling you."
Mu Tingzhou's brows were almost twisted into a "川" shape, but he endured it and took a step back to ask, "Does the other party have a family?"
Ming Wei had to think around before she could catch up with his train of thought. Unable to bear to make the "Grand Tutor" anxious, she honestly confessed: "My friend is a woman, we are both single, and we take care of each other."
Mu Tingzhou was still worried: "Is she the one who takes care of the princess's food, clothing, housing and transportation?" The princess is so spoiled, how can one "palace maid" be enough
Ming Wei screamed silently, clenched her fists, squeezed out all the patience hidden in her body, and said in one breath: "There are no palace maids and slaves in this era. She and I are both free. She has her career and I have my job. I make money and wash and cook by myself. I don't need others to serve me. Mr. Mu, if you continue to think about things with the ancient class concept, I'm afraid we can't continue the conversation."
There was a warning in her last tone, and Mu Tingzhou's heart was broken.
The late emperor entrusted the orphan to him before his death, but he actually let the princess fall into the situation of worrying about money. Imagining the pampered princess who used to live in luxury and had to cut clothes and cook firewood for herself, Mu Tingzhou's face turned pale. He wished he could immediately find the person who murdered him and the princess, force him to hand over the antidote, and then put him in prison and torture him severely.
"Mr. Mu?"
The silence on the other end lasted too long, Mingwei suddenly felt a little worried, and her previous irritability was swept away. Mu Tingzhou was sick, she should be more considerate of him. If he hadn't lost his memory, he wouldn't have chased her and called her a princess, kneeling and bowing. Maybe in the future, Mu Tingzhou would remember these things and want to kill her to silence her.
Thinking of this, Ming Wei's voice became softer: "Mr. Mu, are you okay?"
A man's heavy, hoarse voice came from the other side: "I am fine, Princess, how do you make a living now?"
Ming Wei was worried and said slowly, "I used to be a translator, and now I'm an actor. I'm just starting out, so I'm not good enough in many areas, but I'll work hard... Um, do you know what the profession of an actor is?"
"I know. Someone is knocking on the door. I will take my leave first." Mu Tingzhou said softly in the silent room.
Mingwei felt uneasy for some reason. She looked at the screen and saw that the call was still going on. She raised the phone to her ear again and unexpectedly heard the door open, and then the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Looking at the screen again, Mingwei bit her lip gently. Did Mu Tingzhou not hang up the phone, or did he forget to hang up? Reason told her to hang up now, but her strong curiosity stopped her.
Mingwei was confused and about to hang up when the phone finally rang again.
"Xiao Zhao."
Standing outside Xiaozhao's door, Mu Tingzhou called out.
Xiao Zhao had just finished taking a shower. He had been so busy taking care of Mu Tingzhou recently that he hadn't taken care of his personal hygiene. Rubbing his short hair that hadn't been blown dry, Xiao Zhao put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and came to open the door in a bathrobe. He subconsciously said sarcastically, "The Grand Tutor is looking for me..."
Before he could finish his words or see the figure clearly, a punch suddenly flew towards him. Xiao Zhao was not prepared at all and was hit hard on the left cheek, making him dizzy and taking several steps back. Not counting the fights between boys when they were young, this was the first time Xiao Zhao was beaten since junior high school!
The man who was gentle and refined in public, in a rage, cursed: "Fuck, what's wrong with you again?"
As he said this, he raised his head and felt a burning pain on his left cheek. Xiao Zhao wiped the corner of his mouth, fortunately, there was no bleeding.
He was angry on the surface, but Mu Tingzhou was cold in his heart: "Why did you trick the princess into becoming an actor?"
Actor
Xiao Zhao almost cursed again, but when he met Mu Tingzhou's cold eyes, he thought of the deep affection of the Grand Tutor for Princess Minghua, and the fact that Mu Tingzhou had not spoken to anyone for several days after the filming of "Da Ming" was completed. He forced himself not to argue with an amnesiac. Adjusting his glasses, Xiao Zhao said seriously, "I have explained that in this era, actors are a respected profession. Miss Ming likes to act. This is her personal choice. I have no right to interfere."
Mu Tingzhou understood this. He would not look down on other people's acting, but he could not accept the noble princess performing on stage to entertain the public. Princess, she is a princess. Ordinary people have to kneel down when they see a princess. What qualifications do they have to see a princess...
"How many movies has the princess filmed?" After calming down from his rage, Mu Tingzhou began to interrogate.
Xiao Zhao tolerated him, turned around and walked inside, took off his glasses, picked up the hair dryer and continued to blow his hair: "I only cooperated with you in "Da Ming", which is in post-production and will be broadcast next year."
"Don't broadcast it. The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and you cannot treat her with contempt."
Xiao Zhao smiled and pointed the hair dryer at Mu Tingzhou: "I'm sorry, here, you are not the Grand Tutor and you can't control others."
Mu Tingzhou dodged the wind from the hair dryer with a sullen face, his eyes becoming even colder.
"I must have owed you in my previous life." Xiao Zhao muttered to himself, turned off the hair dryer, and once again popularized the film and television industry to Mu Tingzhou: "... You and Miss Ming have signed a filming contract. Assuming you can persuade Miss Ming to quit the entertainment industry, "The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty" will be broadcast as usual. Besides, it is a serious drama, focusing on the ups and downs of the court. Miss Ming plays a princess and wears conservative clothes. Except for the kiss scene with you..."
"Shut up." Mu Tingzhou interrupted him harshly.
Xiao Zhao shrugged.
Mu Tingzhou looked at him, feeling a sense of powerlessness slowly rising in his heart, an experience he had never had before when he was the Prime Minister and Grand Tutor.
Here, he has no power or influence. He wants to protect her but has no ability to do so. Even the princess doesn't trust him.
"If I find out that the princess has filmed something that damages her reputation, I won't be able to deal with others, but killing you will be a piece of cake." Concluding that Xiao Zhao had a direct connection with the person behind the scenes, Mu Tingzhou said lightly. His voice was very light, and his expression was not as scary as before, but it made people's scalps numb and their hearts chill.
Xiao Zhao was almost about to kneel down. He had taken so much trouble to take care of Mu Tingzhou, and now he had to put his life in danger
"Master, every wrong has its perpetrator, and I am responsible for you. However, Miss Ming's agent is Shen Su, and her scripts are all chosen by Shen Su. If you don't want Miss Ming to shoot intimate scenes, please go and talk to Shen Su. But as I said, we are friends, and I understand you in every way. Shen Su and Miss Ming don't owe you anything, so you'd better think it over before you come, otherwise you will be turned away."
Can the agent manage her
Mu Tingzhou's heart moved, and he asked Xiao Zhao: "I want to be the princess's agent, what do I need to do?"
Xiao Zhao had been talking for a long time and was drinking water because his mouth was dry. He spat it all out when he heard this.
A hint of disdain flashed across Mu Tingzhou's eyes.
Xiao Zhao wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said impatiently, "Impossible, Miss Ming has already signed the contract and is under the management of Shen Su."
Mu Tingzhou tilted his head, mobilizing all the information he had at hand to think about countermeasures: "How much is the penalty? How much money do I have?"
Xiao Zhao frowned: "Are you serious? Aren't you afraid that your relationship will be made public and the media will spread rumors about you and Miss Ming?"
Mu Tingzhou sat solemnly, his face as proud as a plum blossom: "It is my duty to protect the princess. Those who are innocent are innocent. Why should I be afraid of what others say?"
He was only fulfilling his duty as a tutor to protect and teach the princess. As long as he behaved politely at all times, what could others say
Xiao Zhao pushed his glasses and fell into deep thought.
Ming Wei, who had been eavesdropping for a while, hung up the phone in a panic. Mu Tingzhou was so seriously ill, could he really be cured? And Xiao Zhao, why did she feel like she had to cooperate with Mu Tingzhou to "protect" her? Breaking the contract... What the hell, Shen Su was pretty good, why did she accept an amnesiac movie star as her manager
Others are eager to be tied to Mu Tingzhou, but Mingwei doesn't want that.
With her heart beating fast, Mingwei dialed Xiao Zhao's number.
"Good evening, Miss Ming."
After just a few minutes, Xiao Zhao regained his gentle and polite demeanor and seemed to be in a good mood.
Ming Wei's mind was in a mess, so she got straight to the point: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu called me just now and forgot to hang up, so I overheard something. Xiao Zhao, I know you hope Mr. Mu will recover soon, but I have my work and life. Please tell Mr. Mu that I will not break the contract with Tianji, and he should just focus on recuperating."
Xiao Zhao's eyes changed several times. After Ming Wei finished speaking, he turned around, looked at the actor on the sofa and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ming. I won't let him mess around with such a trivial matter as breaking the contract."
Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, as far as I know, Miss Ming has not hired a formal assistant yet?"
Mingwei choked and almost died! (83 Chinese.83.)
