Tang Shishi and his entourage were beautiful women sent by Wang Shi, and they came to serve King Jing at the order of the Queen Mother Yao. However, judging by how no one cared about them along the way, I am afraid that King Jing did not expect them so much.
Also, how could a feudal lord with a strong reputation and a powerful army be willing to be stared at by the women who are called palace beauties, but are actually the eyeliners of the queen mother.
Since entering the fief, Tang Shishi has clearly felt that the order has taken on a new look. The refugees on the road are almost invisible, and even the official roads are much smoother. Tang Shishi looked at the scene outside and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Queen Mother was worried about King Jing.
The little emperor of Jinling is only eleven years old this year, and Uncle Jing of the northern land is in his British years, guarding the fortress and holding half of the troops in the world. Of the people in Miyagi, who can really relax
When Tang Shishi was in a trance, the beautiful woman in the car smiled and said, "Sister Tang, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"
Tang Shishi returned to his senses, lowered the curtain of the car, and said, "I'm stuffy, just look outside to get some air."
The person who spoke was Ji Xinxian, who was also a beauty who was sent to Prince Jing's mansion, and had never been convinced by Tang Shishi. In fact, there are five people in the car at the moment, only Tang Shishi has the lowest background, and they don't say that they are in the same car. Even if all the beauties on this trip are brought over, no one will have a lower identity than Tang Shishi, a merchant woman.
Ji Xinxian is the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou anyway, so why is she jealous of Tang Shishi? Speaking of this matter, Tang Shishi had to sigh and reveal his face.
No talent, who made her look good. The empress dowager was very fond of Tang Shishi, and she personally ordered Tang Shishi to be the head of the beauties in this vassal. Among the people, Tang Shishi was the first in everything.
Ji Xinxian was angry when she saw Tang Shishi's triumphant attitude, she leaned on her companion, pinched the handkerchief, and said, "It's not a noble girl's act to lift the curtain and look on the road, look at Sister Zhou, you won't do such an indecent act. matter."
Zhou Shunhua had been silent for a long time, and when he heard this, he lifted his eyes and gave everyone a light glance: "What's my business with you arguing with you? Let's live in peace, if you are heard by Feng mama, you must be scolded. "
Mammy Feng is a close confidant of the Queen Mother. She is nearly forty years old and has never been married. She is quite ruthless. Ji Xinxian closed her mouth in fright when she heard Feng Mama, but Tang Shishi didn't care. Who made her look good? Madam Feng hated Tang Shishi's face the most, and it was too late to take care of her. How could she be punished
There were five people sitting in the car. Although they had eaten and slept together for three months, they really didn't have much affection for each other. After this episode, no one in Zhongmei wanted to speak, and the rest of the way was dull and silent.
Fortunately, they were lucky today and caught up with the inn. Mammy Feng let the girls get off the bus, and Shishi Tang helped the carriage to stand on the ground. When she saw the gate of the station, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The other beauties also showed a relaxed and happy look. It was really exhausting to travel. It was a beautiful thing to be able to sleep well at night, maybe even take a bath.
The beauties happily took their little sisters to the station. Tang Shishi had no sisters, and she was not uncommon, and walked to the door beautifully alone. At the door of the inn, Mammy Feng gave everyone a room with a stern face. Although these beauties were all sent to serve King Jing, the beauties were also divided into high and low. Tang Shishi has a good appearance, a good figure, and is appreciated by the queen mother.
The two of them never crowded the Chase with other people, and always had their own room. It's just that the inn room was tense this time. Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua shared an upper room, Feng mama herself took up an upper room, and the others, four or five people squeezed into a lower room.
When Tang Shishi heard that he was going to live with Zhou Shunhua, he lost his interest in an instant. Zhou Shunhua, however, could hold his hand, and bowed to Mammy Feng with a look of everyone's demeanor: "Thank you Mammy."
Tang Shishi rolled his eyes secretly, and walked around the crowd to the room. When she was passing through the corridor, Madam Feng stopped her: "Tang Shishi."
Tang Shishi stopped, and when he turned back to face Mammy Feng, he immediately put on a good-natured and docile smile: "Well, Mammy, I don't know what order Mammy has?"
Mammy Feng looked at Tang Shishi up and down. She had been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and instinctively didn't like beautiful and flamboyant women, especially Tang Shishi. But I have to say that Tang Shishi's appearance is really good.
He has black hair and snow skin, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a very upturned nose bridge, and red lips. What is especially wonderful is that the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and the bright color is mixed with seductiveness.
It's no wonder that the Queen Mother has high hopes for this woman. From a man's point of view, she really can't resist this stunning beauty. Mammy Feng felt amazing when she looked at it, let alone a man
Mammy Feng thought, her face rarely softened, and there was even a smile on her lips: "I will arrive at Prince Jing's mansion in a few days. Seeing that the days I spend with you are less and less, I am really reluctant. Tonight, You might as well move to the old house, and the old man can talk to you about himself."
Tang Shishi showed a reluctance to give up in front of her. After listening to the second half of Feng Ma's words, she was shocked.
Madam Feng actually let her live in her own house? This shock is no small matter, Tang Shishi stabilized his mind, and immediately showed a look of surprise and pride: "Really? Thank you mama."
The other beauties didn't go far. They were both surprised and envious when they heard what Mama Feng said. There were many people who stared at Master Tang with hatred. Zhou Shunhua and her handkerchiefs exchanged glances, and cast a mocking but pitiful look at Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi took all the bills one by one. She said goodbye to Mammy Feng happily, and then went back to the house to pack her luggage in a high-profile manner.
Tang Shishi's luggage has been moved to the inn room by the soldier, and Tang Shishi packed up and went to spend the night in Mammy Feng's house. When she was packing, her hand loosened and a book fell out.
This book is already a bit old. Although it has been carefully preserved, there is still a yellow border around the edges, so it can be seen that it has been a few years old.
Tang Shishi looked at the familiar indigo blue cover and was slightly stunned. She has been away from home for three years, and for the past three years, I don't know how her mother is. The mother is cowardly and soft-hearted. How can she fight Su Shi and many young and beautiful concubines alone in the back house.
Tang Shishi is a merchant woman, her ancestral home is Linqing. Although the status of merchants is low, the merchants are really rich. 90% of the world's banknote customs are in Linqing, and 90% of Linqing's banknotes are in the Tang family. The Tang family is the veritable richest man in Linqing.
But in the beginning, the richest man in Linqing was not the Tang family, but the Lin family. Tang Shishi's mother, Lin Wanxi, is the only daughter of the Lin family. Mr. Lin has been in the shopping mall all his life, but he has never had any children. Later, Mr. Lin refused to beg for his son. He fell in love with a young man, Tang Mingzhe. He felt that this son would be of great use, so he betrothed his only daughter to Tang Mingzhe, and wanted to find someone to take care of his daughter Lin Wanxi a hundred years later.
Facts have proved that Mr. Lin's vision is very vicious. Tang Mingzhe took advantage of the Lin family's relationship to really shine. In just a few years, the Lin family's business has been expanded several times, not only controlling the canal business, but also getting involved with the government.
Mr. Lin had no son in his life, but he found a good son-in-law. He died of illness with a smile, but after the death of Mr. Lin, Tang Mingzhe held a huge amount of property and entered Fengyuechang all day long, and slowly his mind became active.
In the ninth month after Mr. Lin's death, Tang Shishi was born. Lin Wanxi focused on her daughter. When Tang Shishi was about to turn 100 years old, Tang Mingzhe came back from the outside party and suddenly proposed to take a concubine.
Lin Wanxi was stunned. However, at this moment, Linqing is completely under Tang Mingzhe's world, and everyone only recognizes Tang Mingzhe, who still remembers the Lin family. Lin Wanxi's current identity is only Mrs. Tang, and she has no right to oppose her husband's concubinage. Within a month, Mrs. Su came in. In May of the following year, Mrs. Su gave birth prematurely, giving birth to the second young lady, Tang Yanyan.
Su Shi said that she was born prematurely at seven months, but looking at Tang Yanyan's appearance, she was clearly born at full term. Su Shi didn't even feed her milk, so she quickly became pregnant as soon as she gave birth. In the second year, she successfully gave birth to a boy.
So far, Su's position is completely stable. Lin Wanxi was weak and squeamish, and was quickly marginalized. Later, when Tang Mingzhe's women entered one by one, Lin Wanxi no longer had any sense of existence.
When Tang Shishi was very young, she heard the maids and old women say to her in a regretful tone that it is a pity that she is a girl. If she were a boy, the eldest lady wouldn't be reduced to this.
Everyone regrets that Lin Wanxi's first child was a daughter, and because of her lack of favor, it became more and more difficult to get pregnant, and her status in the main room plummeted. Lin Wanxi has a weak temper, so others will let them chew on their tongues, and she will devote herself to the child.
Lin Wanxi poured all her hope and love in the rest of her life into Tang Shishi. She was looking forward to Tang Shishi marrying a good family, and she prepared a dowry for Tang Shishi from the age of ten. Once, Lin Wanxi took Tang Shishi up the mountain to enter the incense, and the host stared at Tang Shishi for a long time, saying that this woman's blessing was short-lived and she might not be able to hold back.
Tang Shishi felt that the host was cheating money, but Lin Wanxi believed it and was completely panicked. After all, Lin Wanxi is the eldest miss of the Lin family. The private property left by Mr. Lin is enough for her to squander her life. Lin Wanxi donated half of her net worth in order to let the host change her life to Master Tang. Later, the host couldn't make it, and gave Tang Shishi a wordless book, saying that Tang Shishi should carry it with him and worship it well. When the time comes, he will find out.
Tang Shishi opened it and saw that the book was completely blank from the cover to the inner pages.
Is there a more standard scam than this? However, Lin Wanxi believed it. She said goodbye to the host with great gratitude and gratitude. After returning home, she forcibly escorted Master Tang to enshrine the scriptures and prayed in the morning and evening.
Tang Shishi can only comfort himself, just spend money to buy peace of mind for his mother. She reluctantly made offerings for several years, however, the blessing of the Buddha did not seem to work.
When Tang Shishi was ten years old, Lin Wanxi's old friend Mrs. Qi came to the Tang family as a guest. Mrs. Qi came to pity the miserable fate of her best friend, and secondly, she liked Tang Shishi's appearance, so she ordered a baby kiss for her sons Qi Jingsheng and Tang Shishi.
Qi Jingsheng is a well-known child prodigy in Linqing. He showed extraordinary talent at a young age. It is said that the Qi family is already working on relationships and will be used for Qi Jingsheng's scientific examination in the future. Lin Wanxi was extremely satisfied with this marriage, and happily prepared a dowry for Master Tang.
Later, I heard that Qi Jingsheng became more and more ambitious and passed the exam in the fourteenth year of Tang Shishi. When all the businessmen in Linqing ever came out as scholars, even Tang Mingzhe praised Qi Jingsheng. During that time, even Tang Shishi and Lin Wanxi's situation improved.
Unfortunately, they regarded Qi Jingsheng as a quick son-in-law, and others thought the same. When Lin Wanxi was embroidering Tang Shishi's wedding dress, there was a sudden news from outside that Tang Shishi was attracted by the flower and bird envoy, hit Tianen, and wanted to enter the palace draft.
Lin Wanxi was struck by lightning, and no one dared to rob the royal family. As a result, the marriage between Tang Shishi and Qi Jingsheng was naturally annulled. However, Tang Mingzhe did not want to give up a son-in-law who might become an official. With the persuasion of Su's mother and daughter, Tang Shishi's marriage was transferred to Tang Yanyan as a matter of course.
The night the news came, Lin Wanxi was furious and fell into a coma on the spot. When she woke up, despite her weak body, she struggled to fight with Tang Mingzhe and Su Shi.
Tang Shishi stopped his mother. Everyone in the world said that Lin Wanxi had a bad life. The first half of her life was a honeypot, and the second half of her life was Huanglian, but it was a pity that she did not give birth to a son. There were also people who held back Lin Wanxi for being too stupid and weak, so a good hand was broken.
It doesn't matter, if the mother is weak, then Tang Shishi is strong; if the mother does not fight, then she will fight.
As a woman, Tang Shishi could not take the imperial examinations to become an official, could not join the army, and could not return home to support her mother. Then she will enter the palace. She must make a name for herself in the palace, and let Tang Mingzhe and Su Shi kneel down and kowtow to her mother.
Tang Shishi quickly retracted his thoughts and picked up the yellowed book. In the three years after entering the palace, Tang Shishi almost completely forgot this book. An obvious scam, hollowing out half of my mother's net worth, and having to carry it with me, who can feel good about this kind of thing
Tang Shishi was very annoyed by this so-called "wordless book". She shoved things into the package, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of her eyes, and it seemed that there were words on it.
Tang Shishi was shocked and thought he had read it wrong. She turned it over and re-read it, and found that there were indeed words on it. On the cover that was originally empty, there were now three big characters "Shunhua Biography".
"Mammy Feng finally got into the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered, it didn't move again. The carriage moved slowly, the wheels of the carriage ran over the ground, making a slight creaking sound. Mammy Feng left, no matter how tit-for-tat the ten beauties usually fought each other, At this moment, there is a look of sadness. Zhou Shunhua also seems to be low, at this moment Zhou Shunhua does not know that her story with these 9 women has just begun, and she has been fighting with them for 20 years."
Mammy Feng's carriage drove out of the side door, turned a corner, and soon disappeared. The porters and guards followed closely behind, holding the flags symbolizing the imperial court in their hands. After a while, the flags were no longer visible.
The ten of them stood there for a long time, with Tang Shishi standing at the forefront, the morning wind blew past and slowly moved her skirt. Tongxiu waited for a while, then said slowly, "Little masters, it's time to go back."
All the women should have turned around. Tang Shishi walked last, she took two steps and looked back again.
The side door of Prince Jing's mansion closed in front of her, and when the heavy wooden door closed, there was a muffled sound. Tang Shishi understood that her whole life was also locked in this palace.
From then on, whether she lived or died, whether she was sad or proud, whether she rose up or died quietly, was firmly bound to this mansion and the people in this mansion. If you succeed, you will be crowned with a phoenix, and your export will be successful. If you fail, you will be miserable and miserable, and you will die miserably.
When the maid saw Tang Shishi stopped, she could only wait beside her. Gradually someone looked back, and the maid couldn't help but reminded softly, "Miss Tang."
Tang Shishi retracted his gaze, without any hesitation, he walked in firmly: "A new day has begun, let's go."
Mammy Feng and the court messengers finally left, and from then on, Xiping was under King Jing's world again. Tang Shishi thought that King Jing would breathe a sigh of relief, and after that, he should do something to test or clean up these girls. Tang Shishi was all ready, but after a few days passed, everything was calm.
Not only is she quiet here, but the other nine beauties' Liuyun Courtyard is also as quiet as ever.
If it weren't for Tang Shishi holding the plot, she would have suspected that she was isolated by the other 9 people. In the middle of the night, Tang Shishi hid under the window to read again. Since Mammy Feng left, there have been very few newly unlocked plots. Today, a chapter was finally updated. Tang Shishi excitedly opened it and found that it was trivial.
9 women live together, or 9 pretty, pampered women, how much friction they can have in a yard is completely conceivable.
This chapter talks about Ji Xinxian's conflict with Ren Yujun over who should use the hot water first, and finally Zhou Shunhua gave up his own water to resolve the dispute. The rest are all praises for Zhou Shunhua's general knowledge and reasonableness. Tang Shishi didn't bother to look at it, so he just skipped it.
Then, it's gone.
Tang Shishi read these pages over and over again, and once again determined that King Jing really didn't want to see them.
Not only is she quiet here, but there are no new plots in the book, which shows that King Jing made up his mind to let them go. Circle them together for food and drink, but don't need them to do anything, with a posture of letting them live to old age and death. If Tang Shishi was a person with no ambition, he might like this kind of life of eating and dying, but Tang Shishi knew that if she was greedy for comfort now, in a few years, she should cry.
The other nine women thought the same. To be selected by the Queen Mother Yao, each has its own merits. If you believe that they will live in peace and happiness, it would be an underestimate of the charm of the court.
They had spent three years in a place like the Forbidden City, and had seen how the people at the top of the royal power lived, how could they still be humble? The nobles in the palace are not necessarily higher than them, so why can't others be able to do it
The new plot didn't have any valid information. Tang Shishi was quite regretful. She continued to scroll back and saw the title of the next chapter.
"Please An Toucheng take the lead and accompany the prince to the school."
What, go to school
Tang Shishi was stunned. If she understood correctly, the title should say, Zhou Shunhua wants to accompany the prince to the school, right? Tang Shishi will not be sleepy soon. If he can accompany his son to school, doesn't that mean that they will stay together from morning to night every day
Tang Shishi was instantly interested. She liked this development. Well, she decided to grab it.
It's a pity that you can only see the title, but not the content of the text. Tang Shishi stared at the line for a long time, pondering carefully, surrendering to take the lead, what kind of surrender method is it
Tang Shishi couldn't guess and gave up quickly. It doesn't matter, there is another key word "please be safe", Tang Shishi decided to go to the main hospital every morning to ask for peace, starting from tomorrow.
The next day, Tang Shishi got up early for the first time in the world. After dressing up, he went to wait outside the courtyard of King Jing. Although Tang Shishi did not grow up in the official circle, he had some understanding of the lives of these princes and nobles. The higher the door, the more strict the rules are, and the saving of the morning and evening is a very important item.
Please, please ask the Most Venerable, Zhou Shunhua, a young lady who grew up in a public residence, cannot make mistakes in this kind of thing. Zhou Shunhua must be acting good at King Jing, and happened to meet the prince who also came to greet him. After going back and forth, the two did not know how to see the right eye, so Zhou Shunhua was logically called by the prince to serve the pen and ink.
Tang Shishi felt that he had seen through the heroine's intentions and was quite content. King Jing's residence is the main courtyard of the palace, named Yan'an Courtyard, which covers a vast area and is magnificent and magnificent. Tang Shishi stood under the steps and waited motionlessly. The guard on duty at the door glanced at her several times, and finally couldn't help it: "Miss Tang, you came to see the prince early in the morning, what's the matter?"
Tang Shishi said with filial piety: "The little girl is here to greet the prince."
please? The guards were simply incredible. Tang Shishi is outstanding in appearance, and now in the palace, no one does not recognize Miss Tang, even the guards on duty have heard of it. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. However, this girl Tang doesn't seem to have a good mind.
The guard said politely: "Miss Tang has a heart, but the prince doesn't like noise, especially the red tape, so please come back."
"How can this be done?" Tang Shishi vetoed, with a righteous expression on his face, "It's a matter of etiquette to save in the morning and evening. It's the prince's business to see me or not, but my heart is indispensable."
Okay, the guard has nothing to say. He was well-intentioned, so he just mentioned two sentences beyond the time limit. He didn't expect that Tang Shishi would not give up if he didn't hit the south wall, just like eating a weight. Since Tang Shishi likes it, let her stand slowly in the dew.
After Zhao Chengjun woke up, he went to Yanwutang to practice martial arts as usual. But today, the people who waited on it were dawdling and hesitating.
Zhao Chengjun glanced at Liu Ji and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Ji is an old man who has been with Zhao Chengjun for more than ten years. When Zhao Chengjun was still a prince, Liu Ji served by Zhao Chengjun's side. Liu Ji smiled embarrassingly, looked at Zhao Chengjun's face carefully, and said, "My lord, someone outside wants to greet you."
"Please be safe?" Zhao Chengjun frowned. He was impatient and wasting time with others. This kind of politeness has always been spared. Even Zhao Zixun only came to ask for his greetings once every ten days. Today is not ten days, how could someone come to greet him
Zhao Chengjun asked, "Who?"
"That girl Tang."
Zhao Chengjun was really surprised this time. He stopped for a long time and asked incredulously, "Tang Shishi?"
"is her."
Zhao Chengjun was silent, Liu Ji lowered his head and stared intently at the brick under his feet. After a while, Zhao Chengjun chuckled lightly, and his voice turned cold: "Then let her wait."
Tang Shishi thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but he did not expect to stand for a while before the door of Yan'an Academy opened. Tang Shishi caught a glimpse of the figure inside, and immediately bowed his knees and saluted: "See the lord, and greet the lord."
Zhao Chengjun walked past without expression as if he didn't see anyone standing at the door. Tang Shishi stood on the side of the road, obediently maintaining the movement of Fushen, the corner of King Jing's clothes flashed past, and behind him, hula la followed a group of people.
Everyone quietly followed behind King Jing, no one spoke, but when everyone passed by, they could not help but quietly glance at Tang Shishi from the corner of their eyes.
The beauty sent from the capital was waiting outside for the prince early in the morning, and kept saying that he wanted to greet the prince. What exactly is going on
Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask. Tang Shishi turned a blind eye to many eyes, and she was not annoyed when she was ignored. After everyone left, she stood up by herself like nothing.
Then continue to stand guard at the door.
This process lasted for five days. Tang Shishi came every day before dawn, and only left until three poles in the sun. The depth of his love and the steadfastness of his thoughts made even the guards unbearable. On this day, King Jing ignored Tang Shishi as usual, and Tang Shishi stood by himself. She thought it was another day with nothing to do. Unexpectedly, when the twilight hour, Tang Shishi suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: "Tang Shishi?"
Tang Shishi turned back, his eyes suddenly lit up. Zhou Shunhua frowned when he saw that it was really her.
Zhou Shunhua looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why are you here?"
Tang Shishi knew that he made the right bet, and the plot really happened! Tang Shishi quickly suppressed the excitement in his eyes and said weakly, "I'm here to greet the lord."
please? Both Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun looked strange at the moment. It is not unusual for others to say such words, but when they came out of Tang Shishi's mouth, there was an indescribable strangeness.
Tang Shishi quietly swept the two beauties in front of him through his movements. Zhou Shunhua's clothes were elegant and pure, but the details were everywhere.
Tang Shishi smiled and suddenly asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
The two were silent for a while, and then Zhou Shunhua said as if nothing had happened: "We have been in the mansion for a month, and Aunt Tongxiu has arranged our lives very well, but we have not done anything for the mansion. Sister Ren and I feel guilty. No, today, I want to see if there is anything we can do, so that we can do our best."
Tang Shishi didn't even want to say: "No, don't be sentimental, go back."
Ren Yujun has been patient, and when he heard this, he couldn't help it: "Tang Shishi, you don't want to make an inch..."
"What are you doing?"
The three women were all startled, and immediately put aside their quarrel, turned around and saluted: "Prince Jin An."
Zhao Zixun came to greet Zhao Chengjun today. He had just approached, and he felt that the people at the door were familiar. After approaching, it really was her.
