Chapter 012

One day in the world, one year in the play, "The Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty" is about to wrap up. The heroine Princess Minghua has also reached middle age and has become the mother of two children. Both children are very cute, but the father is too restless because

Jealous of Princess Minghua's deep love for the Taifu, the Prince Consort has always regarded the Taifu as a thorn in his side. In order to suppress the Taifu, who was deeply trusted by the Emperor, the Prince Consort resolutely embarked on the path of rebellion. In the end, he fell short and was thrown into prison.

The little emperor back then had grown up, was ruthless and decisive, and ordered the execution of the nine prince-consort clans. Only Princess Minghua was spared the death penalty and was imprisoned in the princess's mansion, and was not allowed to go out for the rest of her life.

Princess Minghua knew that her consort would be punished by death, so she went to the palace and knelt down to beg the emperor to spare her two underage sons. However, the little emperor who relied on her and trusted her in the past was gone. Sitting on the dragon throne was a new generation of majesty and indifference.

Overlord, he rejected Princess Minghua mercilessly and ordered his guards to escort the princess out of the palace.

After being dragged into the carriage, Princess Minghua lay on the couch sobbing and sobbing. Her shoulders suddenly stopped shaking, and then she slowly raised her head. Under her messy hair, there was a pair of tear-filled eyes. She burst into tears.

He stared at the car board motionlessly for a long time, and hope rekindled in his eyes.

Wiping her tears, Princess Minghua took out her jade comb mirror and dressed up meticulously. The carriage jolted slightly, and she painted extremely seriously. Her eyebrows were long and slender, and her eyes were like water. The more than ten years that had passed by had not seemed to be in her.

There was a trace left on the face.

After the makeup was done, Princess Minghua put down the mirror and stared at the car window for a while. Her eyes became firm and she whispered: "Go to the Taifu's Mansion."

The driver took the order and turned at the next intersection.

"good!"

After the scene was approved in one go, Director Zhang looked at his watch and announced that he would shoot here in the morning and continue in the afternoon.

Mingwei stepped out of the carriage, and her assistant immediately came over with an umbrella to block her from the bright August sun. Mingwei took a sip of water and glanced around, discovering that there was a strange woman among a group of familiar staff, wearing an exotic dress.

Wearing a black dress with suspenders, a sun hat on her head, and sunglasses on her eyes, she looks cool and gorgeous, with a pair of seductive red lips.

Mingwei couldn't help but take a second look.

The other party seemed to notice her gaze, raised the corners of his lips slightly, took off his sunglasses and walked towards her.

The assistant whispered to Ming Wei: "That's Shen Su, the sister of the proprietress of Dongying, the boss of Tianji Model Agency. She probably wants to sign you."

Mingwei suddenly realized. People outside did not know that she played Princess Minghua, but this was not a secret in the industry. From the time she joined the group until now, agencies have been asking her to meet. Mingwei, a small company, refused.

There were two well-known agents who attracted her attention, and she asked Chen Zhang to advise her. Chen Zhang had more inside information than she did, so he suggested that she turn them down and wait.

While thinking about it, Shen Su came closer, introduced himself with a smile, and praised Ming Wei's acting skills.

Mingwei thanked her modestly.

"Ms. Ming, do you have time? If it's convenient, let's have lunch together." Shen Su invited.

Ming Wei had two hours to rest and went to the hotel with Shen Su.

Shen Su initially managed models. In recent years, she has begun to expand into the film and television industry, carving out a world on her own. Later, her sister married into the Lu family of Dongying. Shen Su had more resources, and the overall strength of the company was very strong. However,

Shen Su was on business, and when chatting with Ming Wei, she didn't mention the proprietress of Dongying who recommended Ming Wei to audition. She also advised Ming Wei not to make a decision in a hurry, but to film the movie first, and then carefully consider whether to sign a contract with Tianji after it was completed.

Mingwei was heartbroken at the time. She went back to her room to search for relevant information about Shen Su, and then looked at the contract that Shen Su left for her. Mingwei's heart fell steadily.

The filming of the first drama is about to be completed, and she has an agent. It seems that her acting career will really begin.

The afternoon was the last scene between Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou.

In the Taifu's Mansion, the Taifu was sitting alone in the study, with a sad look on his face.

The Taifu, who is over fifty years old, has wrinkles on his face and a beard around his mouth and under his chin. The only thing that remains unchanged is his pair of deep and bright black eyes. After experiencing countless changes in the court, the Taifu rarely shows his expression. Obviously personal emotions, but at this moment, his heart was heavy, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Sir, the princess wishes to see you."

The Taifu's hand shook, and he doubted for a moment whether he had heard it wrong, but he immediately understood it again.

Now, all she could do was beg him.

The Taifu went to greet the princess in person, and saw her from a distance, dressed in a princess's court dress, with a pale face, but as bright as a pearl, which made him unable to look directly at her.

"I don't know if the princess is here, but I am sorry to welcome her from afar." She was far away, but she dared to look at her twice. But when she was close, the master lowered his head respectfully, just like every time he met her for so many years.

Princess Minghua cried silently.

At first, she hated him for being ruthless and marrying impulsively. A few months after the marriage, Jin'er died of illness and the Taifu became a widower. At that time, Princess Minghua regretted that she could not sleep well or eat well. She wished that time could go back, so she would definitely wait a few more months. , waited until he lost his wife, and then pestered him until his heart softened. It was at that time that Princess Minghua realized that her tutor was too deep, and it had already penetrated into her bones and blood.

But time can't be turned back, and she no longer has the qualifications to be willful. The prince-in-law has a deep affection for her, and he has a child in his belly.

If you miss it, you will eventually miss it.

"Master, please get up." She said softly, her voice choked with sobs.

The Taifu did not raise his head, but bent slightly and asked her to go to the room.

Since their marriage, the two have met several times, but rarely talked. Now that they are in the same room together, she is no longer young and willful, and he is still taciturn, and things are different. Even so, in the eyes of Princess Minghua, the Taifu is not an outsider. , there is no need to be polite between her and him. He may not like her, but he has always taken care of her in his own way, including tolerating the consort several times.

After a long silence, Princess Minghua said bluntly: "The prince-in-law's crime is unforgivable, and I have no intention of saving him. But Lang'er and Yu'er are the flesh that fell from my body. I can't just watch them die... Taifu, the emperor's most beloved Listen to you, I beg you..."

At this point, Princess Minghua burst into tears, covered her mouth and turned away, crying with her back to him.

She didn't want to embarrass him, but she really had no choice.

"I obey the order, and I will do my best to deal with the two young masters."

There was no hesitation, no weighing of pros and cons, the Taifu promised calmly, and agreed so easily, it was easy for the requester to have the illusion of being pampered, as if she wanted to kill him, and he would not hesitate. Offer the land.

Princess Minghua cried even more sadly. She was young and ignorant and could not see through his deep affection. Now she understands, but it is too late.

She raised her sleeves to wipe her tears until they stopped, then slowly turned around and walked towards him.

The Taifu lowered his head and followed her footsteps with his eyes. There were only two steps left, and he instinctively wanted to retreat. However, Princess Minghua rushed over first and hugged him desperately, pressing her head against his broad chest. , a cry that was trying to be suppressed came out. This cry was more effective than any coquettishness. The Taifu stood firmly on the spot, stopped hiding, closed his eyes and hugged her.

"Is Muze good to you?" she asked crying.

Mu Ze is the adopted son of Taifu.

"Respect me as your own father." The corners of Taifu's lips raised slightly, and his voice was unexpectedly soft.

Princess Minghua smiled, there was a junior beside her, more or less a companion.

"If you had it to do over again, would you lie to me again?" She asked quietly, rubbing his chest dependently.

The Taifu opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the calligraphy and painting hanging opposite, and he seemed to see fifteen years ago through the calligraphy and painting.

He understood what she meant, but he didn't know how to answer her, and he didn't know if he could.

There were servants walking around outside the door, and the Taifu, who was busy with court affairs, could not give Princess Minghua much time.

When he didn't urge her, Princess Minghua took the initiative to let go of his shoulders, held his left arm with her small hand, moved it down little by little, and finally held his big, calloused hand. Taifu lowered his head and saw her crying while holding her wrist

The ruby ​​bracelet, the bracelet left to her by her mother-in-law, was put on his hand from her side.

"I won't be able to come out from now on. You, take care of yourself. Now that you are old, stop doing everything yourself."

After saying that, let go.

The Taifu moved his fingers to catch her, but he still let her go without even sending her away.

Unexpectedly, if we say goodbye today, we will say goodbye forever.

Next, the Taifu went to the palace to face the emperor, and he did not hesitate to give up his power in exchange for the lives of Princess Minghua's two sons. The emperor was a little shaken and agreed to consider it, but at night he dreamed that the prince-in-law brought his two sons into the palace, and the emperor was awakened with murderous intent.

He became more and more determined, and soon, everyone in the consort's family wanted to be executed.

Princess Minghua was shocked by the bad news and sat there all night. Before dawn, she put on the bun dress she had worn as a girl and committed suicide by taking poison.

After the Taifu heard the news, his hair turned gray overnight, and he became thinner and thinner day by day. He died suddenly in the late winter of the same year.

In the later period, when the Taifu dies, he will look back on his life, sacrifice his love for eternal achievements, and be admired by thousands of people. From the perspective of drama, Mu Tingzhou truly interprets the life of this chief minister, who is decisive in killing in his prime and wise and restrained in his later years. From the perspective of romance,

Although the story of the Taifu and Princess Minghua is a tragedy, the emotional line between the two always runs through the whole play. The scenes are concise but touching. It adds a human side to the role of the Taifu and adds a lot of interest to the whole play.

Become the key to attract young audiences.

At the closing banquet, Director Zhang got drunk and patted Mu Tingzhou on the shoulder and praised him non-stop. Mu Tingzhou was not the only one. Every important actor was praised by the director. The script was well written and the actors performed well. No need to

Upon its release, Director Zhang knew clearly that this collaboration would produce another good film that was destined to become a classic.

"We are getting old and will retire from the stage sooner or later. You juniors have to work hard. From now on, China's film and television industry will depend on you. Either you don't make films, and you make high-quality films to provide a good start for the next generation!" Director Zhang said loudly, his face turned red.

, then raised the glass high: "Here, cheers to a good movie!"

“Cheers to a good film!”

Mingwei stood up and clinked glasses with everyone, feeling inexplicably proud.

It was a lively night, and it was almost nine o'clock before the banquet broke up.

Ming Wei was the last to leave the table and asked for a driver. She, Mu Tingzhou, and Chen Zhang got into a car, and Mu Tingzhou took the passenger seat.

"Has the next play been selected?" Chen Zhang chatted with Ming Wei.

Ming Wei had already signed a contract with Shen Su. Due to the confidentiality agreement, she could not explain clearly. She only said: "There are two scripts, one is for the female lead in a big project, and the other is for the female lead in a small project. I haven't thought about it yet."

Which movie should I take?" The second female lead is a positive character and has a lot of roles. It is said that she is quite popular among female stars.

Chen Zhang thought about it for a while and guessed what the big project was, and said meaningfully: "The choice is yours, but I have also taken on a big project."

Mingwei understood instantly, smiled, and didn't give it any credence. Of course it was a pleasure to work with friends, but Mingwei actually preferred the small project, which had a sense of freshness, while the scripts of the big projects were cliche and full of palace drama routines.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Chen Zhang had to go somewhere else to meet friends. Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou got off the car.

Ming Wei had endless things to talk about with Chen Zhang, but she couldn't find a topic to talk about with Mu Tingzhou, who ignored him anyway.

Unexpectedly, while waiting for the elevator, Mu Tingzhou spoke to her first and asked her what types of two scripts she was going to accept.

Mingwei was flattered and quickly answered briefly.

Mu Tingzhou had no expression on his face. He stepped into the elevator first, looked at the floor numbers and said: "You have a high starting point. If you can shoot the heroine, don't shoot the supporting actress, the price will drop."

Shen Su also said this, Ming Wei accepted the lesson and thanked her in a low voice.

Arriving on the third floor, Ming Wei raised her head and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar actor across from her. She suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave, as if a friend was leaving. After all, they had worked together for four or five months.

"Mr. Mu, goodbye."

Before the elevator door closed, Ming Wei stepped out in three steps, turned back, and said goodbye to the actor inside.

Mu Tingzhou looked at her silently, his thin lips pursed tightly, his dark eyes so deep that it was impossible to distinguish the emotions in his eyes.
