It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 113: Palace feast

Views:

Tang Shishi was stepping on Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun everywhere, and he just wanted to say clearly that these two people only came over to "meet by chance" when they learned that the prince would come to greet him today. When Ren Yujun heard this, his eyes widened, Zhou Shunhua said calmly, "We live in Liuyunyuan these days, and we can't leave home. How can we know what's going on outside? We came to serve His Royal Highness King Jing, and these few days The sun was only eating and not doing anything. Sister Ren and I were deeply terrified. We dared to come out today, just to see if we could do something for the palace. I was stupid, naturally not as smart as Miss Tang, and only today did I think of sharing the worries for the palace. "

Tang Shishi insinuated that Zhou Shunhua had bad intentions, and Zhou Shunhua returned it intact. Zhou Shunhua asked for something else, why didn't Tang Shishi have it

Zhao Chengjun was questioning Zhao Zixun at first, but Zhao Zixun did not explain a word, and these women were scrambling for each other. Zhao Chengjun had no interest in their little thoughts, and he even felt that it was a mistake to stop talking to Tang Shishi. Zhao Chengjun withdrew his gaze and walked directly into the courtyard without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Zixun did not dare to delay, and quickly followed.

Tang Shishi was about to compete with Zhou Shunhua, but before she made any achievements, the target person she wanted to fight for left. Tang Shishi was surprised for a moment, and immediately abandoned Zhou Shunhua and followed him inside.

When the people in Yan'an Academy saw Tang Shishi actually walked in, they all cast a shocked look. Tang Shishi pretended not to know, and still followed Zhao Zixun cheekily, and followed Zhao Zixun into the room. Zhao Zixun glanced back in surprise, Tang Shishi had already found a place, and leaned his hand in the corner, standing like a decoration.

Zhao Zixun didn't react to this set of actions, so Tang Shishi set himself up. I don't know whether to say that she is interested or not.

Zhao Chengjun had already taken his seat, and Zhao Zixun did not dare to delay, so he hurried in. Across a partition door, Tang Shishi heard King Jing's voice inside: "How is your schoolwork these days?"

"Father has his life, but Erchen doesn't dare to slack off. Erchen wrote a strategy yesterday..."

The golden incense burner on the desk slowly exhaled green smoke, and Zhao Zixun's voice mixed with the fragrance, and it seemed to have become ethereal and low. Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun did not know when they were standing beside Tang Shishi, Ren Yujun didn't move his lips, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "Sister Tang has a foresight, which is admirable."

The irony in Ren Yujun's words was very strong. Tang Shishi seemed to understand that Ren Yujun was laughing at her, and accepted it with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, you will continue to admire her in the future."

After Zhao Zixun finished talking about his strategy, Zhao Chengjun didn't think much about it, he just pointed out the omissions of Zhao Zixun. Tang Shishi had never studied Bagu, so he didn't know how to write strategy theory, but just listening to King Jing's words, he could feel that Zhao Chengjun's literary attainments were higher than Zhao Zixun's.

Tang Shishi was slightly surprised. King Jing was ordered to be stationed in the northwest. She thought that such frontier officials were all warriors. But it's not surprising that King Jing is not an ordinary military general, he is the Prince of Zheng Yipin, the biological son of Sejong. He was on the throne as soon as he was born, and he didn't need to study for the imperial examination, so he could naturally do what he wanted to do, but this did not mean that he was poor in literature.

Even the eunuchs in the palace can read and write, and even the most ignorant and incompetent prince is better than the scholar who can be contributed by the whole family.

Tang Shishi suddenly remembered Qi Jingsheng. The Qi family was also a businessman, and the whole family didn't even know a few words together. Unexpectedly, this generation has such a good seedling as Qi Jingsheng. The old man of the Qi family was very happy. He regarded Qi Jingsheng as the family's hope since he was a child. When Qi Jingsheng's deeds were spread to the surrounding people, everyone was envious. When Tang Shishi was a child, he really thought that Qi Jingsheng was an excellent husband.

If she was not calculated by Su Shi and Tang Yanyan, but married Qi Jingsheng as promised, she would probably keep thinking this way. Like everyone in the Qi family, she will stare at Qi Jingsheng with admiration all her life, and she will look to Qi Jingsheng High School with all her heart. If she can get a wife, it will probably be her biggest pursuit in her life.

However, now, Tang Shishi listened to King Jing's guidance on Zhao Zixun's homework, and he had only such an idea about the past. There are so many jinshi in the capital, not to mention Juren? When the scholar Wenyuange met the eunuch, he was equally polite.

Tang Shishi knew that she could not go back. When her portrait was given to the Flower and Bird Envoy, she was destined to take a completely different path.

Zhao Chengjun pointed, Zhao Zixun was flattered, and hurriedly wrote down word by word. After reporting their homework, Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun had no more topics to talk about. The father and son were relatively silent for a while, and Zhao Zixun found an opportunity to retire. Zhao Zixun glanced back as he left, and through the curtains, he could see several women standing behind the door, shadowy and slender.

Zhao Zixun paused in his footsteps. He stopped in the middle and said to Zhao Chengjun, "Father, Wutong is clumsy and often can't tell the difference between books. Erchen wants to find two slaves who are literate and dexterous, and follow Erchen to the school to serve the brush and ink."

Tang Shishi was thinking about Qi Jingsheng when he vaguely heard the academy, and instantly returned to his senses. Tang Shishi secretly woke up, she knew that the plot point was coming.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only Tang Shishi cared about it, but Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun also became active. Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun looked at each other quietly. They were literate, careful, and ingenious. It was best to have some literary skills. The two of them were just right.

Zhou Shunhua was not sure whether to stand out. She wanted to live a low-key life, but she couldn't let others bully her. Such a good opportunity, missed, there may not be another time...

When Zhou Shunhua was hesitating, he suddenly saw Tang Shishi take a step forward and said to the people inside: "Little girl Tang Shishi, she has studied the Four Books and Five Classics at home, and she can recognize the general characters and memorize common poems. Talent, willing to share the worries for the prince."

Tang Shishi's words startled everyone in the room. Zhou Shunhua was taken aback, and for some reason, her heart sank heavily. When she was still hesitant to make up her mind, Tang Shishi had already stood up and recommended herself. In terms of knowledge, Tang Shishi must be far inferior to Zhou Shunhua. Why is Tang Shishi so bold

Zhou Shunhua questioned herself for the first time. In the past, she always felt that she was smart and calm, different from other women. The uneducated and incompetent sisters of the Zhou family, the mediocre and gloomy maids in the palace, and even the vase beauties of the palace who only know how to compete for favor are not as good as her. But now, Zhou Shunhua is not sure.

When Zhou Shunhua's mind was shaken, another person beside her also stepped forward and said, "The little girl Ren Yujun is willing to serve the prince."

Zhou Shunhua looked at Ren Yujun in surprise. Ren Yujun's eyelashes drooped and he stared at the ground motionless, as if he could not feel the movement around him. Zhou Shunhua looked at Ren Yujun's fair face, and realized for the first time that she might have taken it for granted.

Zhao Zixun was really surprised to find out that it was these two people who stood up in the end. Especially Tang Shishi, she dared to be the first to speak. Zhao Zixun glanced at Zhou Shunhua and asked, "I heard that you are the second daughter of Cai Guogong's mansion, and want to come and read poetry and books since childhood. Both of them are willing, why is it only you who don't move?"

Zhou Shunhua smiled wryly, ignoring her self-righteousness, and often sympathizing with the women around her. In fact, she was the most pitiful one. She is not as decisive and ruthless as Tang Shishi, and she can't even see through her own good sister.

It was a waste of her life to treat Ren Yujun well, and she sincerely regarded Ren Yujun as her sister.

Zhou Shunhua bowed his head and said in a low voice, "The little girl is stupid and doesn't dare to show her ugliness. If the prince does not dislike it, the little girl is willing to serve the prince."

Zhao Chengjun sat at the top, glanced at Zhao Zixun lightly, and knew exactly what Zhao Zixun was thinking. Zhao Zixun gave a slow laugh and said, "Oh? That's not a coincidence. It's enough to bring two people in the school, but there are three of you. How should you choose?"

Tang Shishi snorted silently in his heart, two peaches killed three scholars, and Zhao Zixun asked for a good method. No wonder Zhou Shunhua fought in the harem all his life. With such an emperor, there are no disputes between women, but disputes will arise.

But Tang Shishi is not the kind of weak woman who is sentimental and only dares to cry behind her back when she is wronged.

Do things, always go straight. Shame on face and sacrifice oneself for others will not happen to Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi immediately said: "I have the best knowledge, the prince might as well consider me first."

Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun both looked at Tang Shishi in surprise. Zhao Chengjun was smearing tea foam. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look up and glance at Tang Shishi.

Really dare to say.

Tang Shishi replied calmly, without blinking her eyes, she said: "After the beautiful girl enters the palace, the empress dowager will select the best candidates in the Chuxiu Palace for training. For three years in the Chuxiu Palace, I have always been among the best. This time I came to King Jing to confiscate the land. Madam Feng even said that I am the head of all the daughters. The Queen Mother's words can never be false, right? Therefore, I said that my knowledge is the first, is there any problem?"

Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun choked together. Everyone in the room knew that Tang Shishi was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and this ranking was not viewed that way at all. But this is the Queen Mother's words, even if everyone knows it is wrong, they can't refute it.

Not only did Tang Shishi block Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun, but even Zhao Zixun couldn't get off the stage. Zhao Zixun recognized the strange woman who protected him alone that day, and wanted to take the opportunity to help Zhou Shunhua, but he never thought of putting a vulgar woman like Tang Shishi in front of him. As a result, his original plan was completely messed up by Tang Shishi's involvement.

However, Zhao Zixun's words could not be suspected by a little prince, Zhao Zixun could only accept Tang Shishi and pull Zhou Shunhua in by the way. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from above.

Zhao Chengjun stopped what Zhao Zixun was about to say, and said, "The Empress Dowager Jinkou Yuyan said, the people she judged are naturally extraordinary. Since Miss Tang is excellent in literature, it just so happens that there is one person missing in this king's study, it's you."

Tang Shishi was stunned, she was stunned for a long time, then raised her head: "Ah?"

A person who looked like a servant bowed his head and coughed. He glanced at Tang Shishi and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness is kind, Tang Xiaozhu, why don't you thank him?"

On the day of the banquet, the palace was busy very early, especially the ten beauties such as Tang Shishi, who were carefully dressed up, and each one was full of energy.

Today we are going to say goodbye to Mammy Feng. After Mammy Feng returns to Beijing, they will stay in Jing Wangfu. In the future, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, the ups and downs of grace, all depends on one's own creation.

At the banquet, Tang Shishi also dressed up to attend. The ten beauties of them said that they were sent to serve King Jing, but no one could really let them do the work of serving others. Just like today's banquet, the maids of the palace were busy, and Tang Shishi lined up to stand in the hall.

Tang Shishi is naturally the well-deserved chief. She stood at the front, her waist was straight, her chin was slightly retracted, and her slender neck and beautiful face were exposed just right. She received scrutiny from all directions, and there was no evasion or cowardice in her expression. From childhood to adulthood, she had long been accustomed to others' attention to her appearance.

Instead, Master Tang was thinking about another thing. "Ren Yujun made a mistake and Zhou Shunhua solved the puzzle", what does this mean

Tang Shishi has been guessing for several nights, but she can't figure out what the "puzzle" is, but at least she can be sure that the next story is related to Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua. She made up her mind early this morning that no matter what happened next, she would follow Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua firmly.

With Tang Shishi's literary level, it would be impossible to cite scriptures and solve puzzles in front of Zhou Shunhua, so she had to be rough and cut off from the source. Today, no matter what Zhou Shunhua does, she will take it away, and she will never let the heroine emerge in front of the crowd.

Halfway through the banquet, the wine was in full swing, many people stood up to sober up, and the people serving in the hall were also messy, not as well-organized as at the beginning. Tang Shishi was called out to speak, and after she left, the other nine gathered in groups of three or five to whisper, and the formation soon dispersed.

Anyway, they are just putting on a facade, and there is nothing to do with them, they can move freely.

The beauties scattered in twos and threes, and no one was willing to go back on such occasions, but it would be very stupid to just stand here without doing anything. Ji Xinxian changed into a light red dress and wore a whole set of red jade heads on her head, which made her face look like a peach blossom, and she looked forward to the brilliance. Ji Xinxian listened with satisfaction as the girls surrounded her to flatter, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at the banquet not far away.

A screen separates the view from the inside and outside, and from the inside, only the figures on the screen can be seen walking around, staggered, and the lights are brilliant. King Jing showed his face and left, Zhao Zixun was the well-deserved focus of the audience. From the gap between the screens, I could see the prince Zhao Zixun sitting in his seat, chatting and laughing loudly with the people around him. The young man is high-spirited, handsome, and has a noble identity, which naturally attracts the attention of these girls.

Ji Xinxian seemed to be talking to her companions, but in fact, the corners of her eyes were always paying attention to Zhao Zixun's movements. She deliberately pretended not to care, occupying a corner like a proud swan, just to attract Zhao Zixun's attention. However, Ji Xinxian talked for a long time, but Zhao Zixun never looked back.

Ji Xinxian was a little disappointed, she turned to comfort herself, it was okay, the time was short, and the prince didn't know them yet. After a long time, the prince will know that she is fine.

Ji Xinxian had just finished thinking when she heard movement behind the screen. Many people turned around, and even Zhao Zixun glanced across the screen. Ji Xinxian looked forward and found that Tang Shishi came in.

Tang Shishi attracted a lot of attention along the way, but she didn't care. She stopped in the side hall and seemed to be looking for someone but couldn't find it. Everyone inside and outside is thinking, who is she looking for

Who has this honor, is she thinking about in her heart

Tang Shishi listened to Feng Ma's training, and when he came back, he found that the team was gone. She walked around in the side hall, but did not see Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun.

Tang Shishi frowned, a little anxious. She stopped in the center of the hall, and her eyes that looked around stopped following her.

The woman beside Ji Xinxian whispered, "What is she doing?"

"It seems to be looking for someone."

"Who is she looking for..."

Before the women could finish speaking, their voices suddenly dropped. Tang Shishi found Ji Xinxian and walked straight to Ji Xinxian. The women couldn't help but keep silent, and watched Tang Shishi approach, stopped two steps away, and asked, "Where are Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun?"

Tang Shishi came to talk to Ji Xinxian, and their place immediately became the focus of attention, and even Zhao Zixun glanced at it vaguely.

Ji Xinxian's heart was sour and astringent, it was indescribable. She stood here for so long, and the prince didn't look back. She thought that the prince didn't notice anyone behind, but as soon as Tang Shishi came over, the prince noticed.

Ji Xinxian was in a bad mood, and her tone was firm: "I don't know. The two are the daughters of Gongqing, Jiao Buli Meng, how can I know their whereabouts."

Tang Shishi raised her eyebrows secretly, and she knew she couldn't have expectations for Ji Xinxian. A woman next to him looked at Master Tang and said weakly, "Sister Ren seems to have gone out just now."

Tang Shishi looked at the woman who was speaking and asked, "Which direction did you go from?"

The woman pointed in a direction timidly, and Tang Shishi thanked him and quickly chased outside.

After Tang Shishi left, the invisible focus in the side hall also dissipated, and everyone resumed talking casually. The woman guiding the way looked at Tang Shishi's back, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Xinxian's face gloomy.

The woman asked cautiously, "Sister Ji, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Xinxian said with a cold face, "It's okay."

After Tang Shishi chased out from the banquet hall, he didn't walk long when he bumped into Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua on the corridor. Ren Yujun is wearing a long jade-colored jacket today, a purple pleated skirt, embroidered with pink wooden hibiscus on the front of the shirt, looking at the flowers from a distance, rich and bright. Zhou Shunhua next to Ren Yujun was wearing a light blue jacket, which was much lighter in comparison.

Ren Yujun was holding a tray in his hand.

Talking intimately with Zhou Shunhua and seeing Tang Shishi, the two slowed down one after another.

Ren Yujun stared at Master Tang vigilantly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Shishi quietly swept over the two men's clothes and laughed inwardly. They are really "good sisters". Everyone puts a lot of thought into their clothes. Ren Yujun wears extravagantly, and Zhou Shunhua highlights his elegance and sophistication.

It is indeed the sister flower of Yijie Jinlan.

Tang Shishi glanced at the things in their hands and asked, "What is this?"

"Sister Shaoyao suddenly has a stomachache, let us help her bring the wine in."

Deliver wine? Tang Shishi rolled his eyes and smelled some unusual breath. Naturally, the wine delivery must be sent to the banquet in front of you, which is an opportunity to show your face. Seeing that the banquet is about to end, the heroine's blockbuster opportunity may be now.

It would be better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Tang Shishi instantly made up his mind, whether this time or not, she would cut off all the scenes where Zhou Shunhua showed his face, and would never give the heroine a chance to come forward. Tang Shishi smiled kindly and said, "It's really hard for you to bring such a heavy thing all the way. Give it to me."

How could Ren Yujun believe Tang Shishi's nonsense, she sneered, avoiding Tang Shishi's hand, and said coldly: "Don't dare to trouble Miss Tang. Miss Tang is a big celebrity now, who dares to trouble you with this kind of rough work?"
