Mu Tingzhou had been waiting for Xiao Zhao to leave. There were some things he didn't want to say in front of outsiders.
As soon as Xiao Zhao left, Mu Tingzhou looked at the princess facing the car window. He got out of the car silently, walked around from the back of the car to Ming Wei's side, and opened the door.
Ming Wei was still wrapped in the curtains. She could have gotten out on the way, but she suddenly didn't want to get out of it. She was just trying to save her life. Not wanting to look at Mu Tingzhou, Ming Wei turned her head away, leaving only the back of her head for him.
"I was disrespectful to the princess in a hurry. Please punish me." Mu Tingzhou knelt down without hesitation and bowed his head to apologize.
Ming Wei heard some noise and turned around to see him kneeling there. She felt awkward and had a headache, and yelled at him angrily: "Get up! Let me make it clear to you today. I don't like you kneeling. If you kneel again, you don't have to be my assistant anymore. We will live our own lives. I will never see you again in this life!"
It's easy for the movie emperor to kneel down, but she is afraid of shortening her life!
The Grand Tutor was an important official, so he didn’t need to kneel down to treat the princess. However, Mu Tingzhou still remembered the tears in her eyes and said with guilt: “Princess…”
"Get up." Ming Wei interrupted him coldly.
She was so domineering that Mu Tingzhou's eyes moved slightly and he stood up straight silently. The car blocked his waist and Mingwei could only see a pair of long legs. Suits are the best for men. When it comes to Mu Tingzhou, who has a stunning appearance and a perfect figure, women looking at his legs have the same effect as men looking at beautiful women's breasts.
Mingwei turned away again, feeling mostly annoyed.
Mu Tingzhou paused, closed the door on this side, walked around and sat down again, and closed the right door by the way.
Getting angry won't solve the problem. Ming Wei leaned back in her chair and looked ahead: "Xiao Zhao said that you've been familiar with modern common sense recently. Do you know about modern clothing?"
Mu Tingzhou lowered his eyes and said, "I know a little bit."
Ming Wei's voice turned cold: "Don't you know that modern ideas are open and women can wear whatever they like?"
Mu Tingzhou knew, but those were just words and pictures of clothes he had seen online. Because the princess was dressed conservatively when he met her a few days ago, and the degree of exposure was similar to that of ancient costumes, he thought the princess knew how to be cautious. Who would have thought... The princess in the banquet hall appeared in his mind again, with most of her shoulders exposed, white and flowery, and the skirt that didn't reach her knees...
Mu Tingzhou stopped thinking in time and argued solemnly: "They are who they are. The princess is a precious daughter of a royal family. As the Grand Tutor, I have the responsibility to teach the princess. I cannot sit idly by and watch the princess make a mistake." It was his fault that the princess was wronged, but Mu Tingzhou did not think he was wrong to take the princess back.
Mingwei was getting angry and wanted to emphasize that she was not a princess, but before she could speak, she held it back.
If Mu Tingzhou gave up his fantasy so easily, he would not have become her so-called assistant.
Taking a deep breath, Ming Wei decided to take a different approach: "Since you treat me like a princess, shouldn't you listen to me?"
Mu Tingzhou was neither humble nor arrogant: "Princess, you are acting prudently. I will just follow your instructions. If you do something wrong, I will advise you."
Ming Wei laughed angrily, staring at him and said, "According to the ancients' ideas in your head, I shouldn't show my face in public, so why are you my assistant? Just lock me up in the Forbidden City, kick out all the staff there, and find me a group of palace maids and eunuchs to serve me. Oh, don't say I didn't remind you, here, if you dare to force someone to be a eunuch, you'll be put in jail unless they volunteer!"
Mu Tingzhou sat stiffly, his face expressionless but with a turbulent mood in his eyes.
Didn't he want her to live in the imperial city
When she woke up, everything around her was strange. The princess was bewitched by those people and forgot the past. Except for her stubborn personality, she was like a different person in other aspects. The emperor was thousands of miles away and had new parents arranged around him. When Mu Tingzhou first learned about it, he wanted to kill all those who humiliated the royal family, but the fact was that the emperor was very happy there. Xiao Zhao also said that if he insisted on protecting the emperor, not only would the young emperor cry and hate him, but his studies would be delayed and his mind would be affected, and the parents would also resort to law and use force to restrict him from approaching the emperor.
Mu Tingzhou did not dare to take the risk. He could only take care of the princess who lived alone and was more likely to encounter danger. He would then report the truth to the emperor when he reached a mature age.
But this was an incompetent compromise. Now the princess mentioned the occupied Forbidden City and the palace maids and eunuchs that he could not arrange for, which clearly exposed his incompetence. Mu Tingzhou was in physical and mental torment and had a splitting headache.
Not wanting to show weakness in front of the princess, he tried hard to suppress the frenzy in his chest, but Mingwei, who was beside him, could clearly see that Mu Tingzhou's face was pale, and as if in the blink of an eye, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. His hands, which were resting on his knees, were clenched into fists and trembling slightly.
Ming Wei suddenly felt a little scared. Did she say something too harsh and upset the amnesiac actor? Isn't that how it's played on TV? If an amnesiac is forced to remember reality, the patient will be in great pain.
Mingwei was angry at him for being unreasonable just a second ago, but now she felt sympathy for the actor.
"Taifu..."
Mingwei twisted uncomfortably in the curtains and lowered her head in surrender. The patient was the most important thing. She could call him whatever he liked to hear. The most urgent thing was to stabilize the patient's emotions.
The familiar name reached his ears, and the frozen actor finally moved. The manic emotion in his eyes instantly sank to the bottom of the sea, replaced by a restrained surprise that flashed away. He slowly turned his head and saw her curled up in the seat. She was originally slender and thin, but now she was wrapped up like a child.
"Princess, do you remember me?" Mu Tingzhou asked tentatively, hiding his hope in his heart.
Ming Wei shook her head and glanced at him cautiously: "How do you feel? Are you still feeling bad?"
Mu Tingzhou was silent for half a second, then he laughed at himself and looked out the window leisurely: "I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I am unable to change the current situation for the time being. I only hope that the princess will trust me and there will be no more rifts between you and me."
Mingwei stared blankly at the handsome face with an old look in her eyes, and suddenly smiled. Fortunately, she had received education. If it were someone with a low level of education, they might not even fully understand what Mu Tingzhou said.
Whoever is sick is right. Ming Wei sighed: "I don't want to argue with you, but I am a princess. I have to make the best of it. Before we find a way to go back, we have to adapt to this era, right? Take clothes for example. You don't agree with my revealing clothes, but I have already exposed them..."
Mu Tingzhou frowned: "When did it happen?"
Mingwei immediately wanted to grab the phone, but unfortunately she couldn't lift her arm and her body tilted to one side due to inertia.
Mu Tingzhou quickly supported her and retreated.
Ming Wei pursed her lips, and looked at him with innocent and aggrieved eyes: "Untie me, I want to get my phone."
Mu Tingzhou subconsciously looked towards her shoulder, only to catch a glimpse of her pink earlobe before he immediately retracted his gaze, turned away to help her untie the curtain knot behind her, then sat with his back to Mingwei.
Mingwei let out an exaggerated sigh of relief after emerging from the cocoon. She looked down and saw that her dress was wrinkled and crooked, revealing more. Mingwei blushed and quickly pulled the dress back and packed it up. Then she took out the handbag that Xiao Zhao had calmly helped her get back, took out her phone, and searched her old Weibo. Ignoring the rapidly increasing number of fans and private messages, Mingwei kept scrolling through her photo album and found a beach photo from last summer.
"Look." Mingwei handed over the phone.
Mu Tingzhou turned his back to her and answered the phone with his backhand. He had prepared himself mentally before looking at the screen. But when he saw the princess, who was only wearing a pair of shorts that barely covered her thighs, standing on the beach with her arms outstretched, Mu Tingzhou suddenly turned over the phone, and his heart broke into waves like the sea in the photo.
"The reading volume represents the number of people who have seen this photo, and not just this one." Mingwei continued.
Mu Tingzhou didn't read it and deleted it directly.
He leaned sideways, said nothing, and moved his arms around, not knowing what he was doing. Mingwei asked him twice out of curiosity, but he didn't answer. Mingwei was puzzled, so she came over to see that Mu Tingzhou was deleting her Weibo photos, deleting those photos that recorded her good times and that she had carefully selected before uploading!
"Give it to me!" Ming Wei was angry. She pressed his shoulder with one hand and snatched the phone with the other.
Mu Tingzhou refused, not used to physical contact with the princess, so he blocked her with one hand and pushed the door open with the other, got out of the car swiftly, and closed the door before Mingwei came out. He leaned against the door, Mingwei couldn't push it open, and hurried to get out from the other side. As a result, she just slammed the door, and suddenly heard the door open behind her. Mingwei looked back in surprise and saw Mu Tingzhou got into the passenger seat like he was in an action movie!
Mingwei's mind raced as she slammed the car door!
Didn’t open the door… The car door was locked by Mu Tingzhou.
“Mu Tingzhou!”
Ming Wei was furious. She walked around to the passenger seat and banged on the window frantically: "Mu Tingzhou, don't go too far. Those are my photos on my phone. Why did you delete them?"
Her words were full of anger, and Mu Tingzhou hesitated for a second. Seeing that the photo in front of him only showed two sections of white arms, he let it go and only deleted the ones that showed more. With a swipe of his index finger, a photo of a man's back popped up. The other person was standing in a place full of strange equipment, with his upper body naked and muscular.
Caption for the photo: Dad who loves fitness, [proud face].
Mu Tingzhou sneered. The princess's father was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This man was obviously a fake, used to completely confuse the princess and make her think that she was really a commoner born and raised here. He should have been deceived for more than 30 years before, but his willpower was stronger than the princess's and he woke up in time.
Since it is fake, there is no need to save it.
After deleting the photo, Mu Tingzhou continued to scroll down.
Mingwei couldn't see clearly what he had deleted, but she knew that he had been working non-stop. She felt distressed and annoyed. Mingwei thought quickly and ran to the front of the car with her arms outstretched: "Mu Tingzhou!"
Mu Tingzhou looked up and saw the princess with her breasts, arms and legs exposed, then he immediately lowered his head again, not wanting to look at her inappropriately.
"If you don't come out, I will dress like this and go find Xiao Zhao. I will even hug him!" Ming Wei threatened loudly.
Mu Tingzhou's eyebrows jumped.
Mingwei ignored him and turned to walk out of the garage. She heard the sound of a door opening behind her. The corners of Mingwei's lips curled up and she walked faster.
Unfortunately, just before Mingwei was about to step out of the garage, the familiar curtains fell again, surrounding, binding, and unbreakable.
Mingwei looked up, raging with anger.
His eyes were cold and he spoke earnestly, "Princess, respect yourself."
