In late October, Ming Wei took her two new assistants to Shanghai in a high-profile manner. It was difficult to board the plane. When the plane landed, there was another huge crowd of people coming out of the airport. Mu Tingzhou sent bodyguards to clear the way, but the bodyguards were almost squeezed into a pulp. Ming Wei was almost carried by Mu Tingzhou and Xiao Zhao. They bumped into each other and bumped into Mu Tingzhou's arms several times. He carried her a few steps and made headlines that day.
Fans shouted about romance, but Mingwei kept complaining, saying that only after becoming famous did she realize the troubles of being famous.
When they arrived at the hotel, Mingwei collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move, and then fell asleep unknowingly.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, they were woken up by a call from Chen Zhang, who invited them to dinner. The director was also there.
Mingwei smiled and said okay, then hung up the phone. She rubbed her head, feeling a little emotional.
"South City" is just a small production of Dongying. Since it is a small production, the male and female protagonists do not need to be too big names, so she, a newcomer, got the female lead role with the help of Shen Su, and the male lead role was another new actor with potential. The popular Chen Zhang, who played the second male lead to the movie emperor Mu Tingzhou in "Da Ming", was originally scheduled to play the male lead in a big project.
However, her overnight fame has become a variable in the entertainment industry.
Dongying temporarily decided to list "South City" as a key promotional project. In addition to Ming Wei, a famous but immature female lead, a male lead with both fame and acting skills was needed to strive for both good reputation and good ratings. The business world is ruthless, and the original young actor was temporarily replaced. It happened that Chen Zhang had more than two months of schedule. If he worked hard, he should be able to ensure the filming of "South City".
In fact, there were other male stars who could have chosen the role, but it was said that Chen Zhang was very optimistic about "South City", so his agent secured a spot for him.
Mingwei felt a little sympathy for the male actor who was replaced, but this did not affect her friendship with Chen Zhang.
Before taking a shower, Mingwei sent a WeChat notification to her and her male idols’ small group: “Chen Zhang is treating us at 6pm, are you guys going?”
With two "ding ding" sounds, Mu Tingzhou and Xiao Zhao's cell phones rang at the same time in the two guest rooms next door.
Xiao Zhao smiled and chatted privately with the actor: "Chen Zhang is the prince consort in "Da Ming"."
Mu Tingzhou was reading the script of "South City". After listening to the voice, he frowned unhappily. He had read the novel "Da Ming" several times. The plot had some seemingly reasonable parts, but also countless absurdities, such as the princess liking the tutor, the tutor falling in love, and even abandoning the princess for some false reputation after falling in love...
Mu Tingzhou would never admit that the Taifu in "Da Ming" was him. The whole story was just a tool made up by Xiao Zhao and others to brainwash him and the princess. Since he did not admit the story, he would not admit Chen Zhang's identity as the son-in-law, even though Chen Zhang was indeed the prince of Pingxi Marquis's mansion. If Chen Zhang remembered the past, he would strive for this alliance, but unfortunately... the prince with amnesia was of no significance to him.
"Princess, do you want to go?" Mu Tingzhou replied.
Ming Wei: "Yes, I have agreed."
Mu Tingzhou: "Then I will accompany the princess to the banquet."

Mingwei went to take a shower happily. After taking a shower, she stood in front of the closet to pick out clothes. Her fingers touched a pair of trousers. Mingwei paused, took them back, looked at them again, and picked out a red long-sleeved dress. The neckline only exposed her collarbone, which was quite conservative. The hem of the skirt did not reach her knees, which would definitely bring a visual impact to the "Taifu".
She likes skirts, and this hammer will fall sooner or later, so it’s better to do it sooner rather than later to avoid affecting the filming.
After putting on her skirt, Mingwei matched it with a pair of black high heels and looked at the time. It was exactly five o'clock.
Picking up her handbag, Mingwei gently opened the door and walked towards Mu Tingzhou's room on the left like a thief, while sending him a message: I'm outside your door, please open the door.
After seeing the message, Mu Tingzhou left the desk without hesitation and walked to the door. He subconsciously glanced at the peephole. The princess outside the door had long hair loose and slightly curled, looking a little lazy. She was wearing a red dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow, so white that people dared not look at it for too long, but he still noticed that she was wearing a pearl necklace, with small pearls hanging on the collar, shiny and glossy, just like its owner.
Moving his eyes downward, Mu Tingzhou opened the door and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of black high-heeled shoes and the princess's fair and delicate feet.
That is a body of a daughter that only the future prince consort can see!
Mu Tingzhou was shocked and instinctively wanted to close the door. Mingwei was on guard against him. When she saw him hiding behind, she immediately rushed forward and squeezed through the crack of the door in an unladylike manner. Mu Tingzhou didn't dare to force it because he was afraid of hurting her. He turned around and walked forward while reprimanding her with his back to her: "Princess, are you dressing like this to deliberately anger me?"
Ming Wei gently closed the door and whispered, "The fact that Grand Tutor agreed to let me film shows that Grand Tutor is not a pedantic person. So why don't you be more flexible and let me wear a skirt? It's autumn now, but in the summer, do you still want me to wear something tightly wrapped up? No way, I'm afraid of both cold and heat, and I like to wear skirts in the summer."
"Princess, if you like filming and you can have fun from it, I agree with you. But if a woman is not fully clothed, it will affect your reputation." Mu Tingzhou walked to the window, his face almost touching the curtain, a bit like he was facing a wall to reflect on his mistakes.
Ming Wei put her handbag on his desk, then stood behind Mu Tingzhou and calmly reasoned: "The ancients were harsh on women, but modern people have a more open mind about gender equality. If I were in ancient times, I would listen carefully to the teachings of the Grand Tutor, but here, no one will point fingers at me for wearing a skirt, so why don't I act according to my own preferences?"
This was sophistry, and Mu Tingzhou immediately refuted: "A gentleman's conduct in the world is self-discipline. How can he knowingly commit a crime just because no one criticizes him?"
Ming Wei gave in. She couldn't win the argument, so she could only act like a rogue. She crossed her arms and leaned against the desk, snorting, "I did it on purpose. What can you do? I respect you as the Grand Tutor, so I advised you kindly. If you don't listen, then I can't do anything. The Grand Tutor doesn't like me wearing a skirt, so you can eat by yourself tonight. Xiao Zhao will accompany me to the banquet."
"Princess." Governor Mu Tingchang frowned, once again realizing his helplessness in raising a child. If it were his own child, he could punish him, but the person behind him was a princess, so he could not hit or scold her.
"Master, please take your time to think about it. I'm leaving first." After waiting for two minutes on purpose, Mingwei picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Mu Tingzhou clenched his fist and tilted his head slightly. Seeing the princess's white and flowery calves, he immediately looked away, then tilted his head and quickly caught up with the princess. He blocked her way and closed his eyes and said, "I was ordered by the late emperor to teach the princess. Since the princess insists on having her own way, I can only stop her from going to the banquet."
Ming Wei was prepared. She took out her phone, opened a few stills she had downloaded in advance, and held them in front of Mu Tingzhou: "Master, look, what is this."
Mu Tingzhou didn't watch it.
Ming Wei smiled: "Grandmaster has always been reluctant for me to expose my body, but countless people across the country have seen this photo of yours. Why doesn't Grandmaster consider his own reputation? Or did men in ancient times not mind exposing their bodies for others to see?"
Mu Tingzhou frowned, closed his eyes and raised his hand. Mingwei knew what he was going to do and took the initiative to put the phone in his hand.
Mu Tingzhou turned around and looked down. On the screen was a still photo of him in a drama. He was only wearing a pair of trousers, with his chest completely bare.
Ming Wei gleefully added fuel to the fire: "In fact, the Master has a great figure, many models..."
"Princess, be careful with your words." Mu Tingzhou interrupted coldly, but there was an inexplicable anger raging on his face. He tried to ignore what the princess said and quickly deleted the photos. The phone was newly bought by Mingwei, and there were not many photos in it. He downloaded five or six photos of Mu Tingzhou showing his chest, but he deleted them all and returned Mingwei's phone.
"Master, do you have anything else to say?" Ming Wei asked seriously, not wanting to provoke him.
"I am a minister, and the princess is a princess. They cannot be compared." Mu Tingzhou insisted on his opinion.
Both tricks failed. Ming Wei sighed silently, leaned against the wall next to her, and looked down at the ground.
"Princess?" There was no sound behind him, and Mu Tingzhou asked puzzledly.
No one answered.
Mu Tingzhou called again.
"What are you doing?" Ming Wei asked unhappily, not trying to hide her crying tone at all.
Mu Tingzhou was suddenly at a loss, no longer having the aura of a dignified tutor, and whispered: "You..."
"I'm not happy." Ming Wei turned her head and sobbed softly as she spoke: "Taifu always says that it's for my own good, but Taifu doesn't care what I like, he only cares about etiquette... Taifu is handsome and wise, there are countless women who want to listen to you, why does Taifu have to stick to me, why not find someone else to be your princess..."
"Nonsense, the princess is the daughter of the emperor, how can others think of her as the emperor's daughter?" Mu Tingzhou scolded in a low voice, but the voice was gentle and had no power.
"But I can't even decide what to wear. What's the point of being a princess?" Ming Wei threw her bag at him, turned around, and sobbed, covering her face.
Mu Tingzhou was at a loss, and at his feet was the small bag she threw to him, which was exquisite and delicate.
After a long while, he hesitated and said, "Princess..."
"Don't call me princess. I'm not a princess! I'm just a maid. You can scold or imprison me if you want!" Ming Wei said angrily.
Mu Tingzhou had a headache. He bent down to pick up the bag and carefully wiped off the non-existent dust on it.
The girl's crying of grievance continued, and Mu Tingzhou became more and more annoyed. He wanted to persuade her to maintain the dignity of a princess, but he was afraid that she would cry even more sadly.
Time passed second by second. Mu Tingzhou looked at his watch. In five minutes, Xiao Zhao should be here.
"Forget it, Princess, go." In the end, he surrendered.
Ming Wei's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she continued crying: "You, really agree?"
Mu Tingzhou uttered a short "hmm".
Ming Wei's eyes turned and she asked again, "Master, are you going?"
Of course Mu Tingzhou had to go. The princess was wearing so little, which made people feel uneasy.
Ken went there and was not angry with her. Mingwei was completely satisfied. She ran a few steps happily, opened her arms and turned around, saying to him with a smile: "Then you turn around first." Words are not enough. The fact that Mu Tingzhou dared to look at her showed that he truly accepted her.
Mu Tingzhou clutched her bag tightly.
"Taifu..."
The girl called him in a long voice, just like when she acted coquettishly towards Mingqiang, soft and yet captivating.
He turned slowly, and halfway through, someone knocked on the door.
