Views:

Liu Ji coughed again, and Tang Shishi suddenly woke up. She let out a long sigh in her heart. She was obviously reluctant, but she still wanted to be surprised. She said, "Thank you, King Jing."

When Tang Shishi saluted, she could feel that many people's eyes were on her. Zhao Zixun's, Zhou Shunhua's, Liu Ji's, and even Zhao Chengjun's.

Zhao Chengjun didn't ask her to get up, Tang Shishi still kept squatting, she waited for a while, and heard an indifferent voice: "Get up."

"Thank you, Lord."

Tang Shishi went to Zhao Chengjun's study to serve, and it was only natural that Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would follow the prince. This should have been a happy situation. Zhao Zixun got the candidate he expected, and Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun didn't have to fight each other. However, Zhao Zixun, Zhou Shunhua and others just couldn't be happy.

Zhao Chengjun skimmed the foam for a long time, but he didn't mean to enter. He put down the tea cup and tapped his fingers on the table. Zhao Zixun reacted at once, and hurriedly said, "Father still has something to do, I don't dare to disturb you, so I will retire first."

Zhao Chengjun nodded lightly and did not stop him: "Don't be distracted, focus on your studies."

"My son obeys."

Zhao Zixun resigned, and the others followed suit. After exiting Zhao Chengjun's house, Zhao Zixun's face instantly turned cold. He gave Tang Shishi a cold look and said, "Don't play tricks, otherwise, I will never let you go."

Tang Shishi kept smiling and said respectfully: "The little girl is fortunate enough to serve the prince, and naturally she does her best, how can she play tricks?"

Zhao Zixun snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves, and strode away. After Zhao Zixun left, Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun glanced at Tang Shishi quietly, bowed their heads and left behind Zhao Zixun.

Tang Shishi stood alone at the door, watching the other two follow behind Zhao Zixun, Zhao Zixun is handsome, two women, one elegant and the other rich, standing together, handsome and beautiful, indescribably beautiful.

The smile on Tang Shishi's face gradually faded. She remembered that this was the Yan'an Courtyard, and there were King Jing's eyes everywhere. Tang Shishi immediately resumed his smile, and returned to the house still happy and full of emotion.

The news that Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua were going to serve the pen and ink quickly spread, and after the other beauties found out, Liuyunyuan immediately fryed.

Liu Yunyuan was noisy, what situation Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would face when they returned, Tang Shishi could guess just by thinking about it. But these have nothing to do with her, Tang Shishi has nothing to do with herself, and packs things in the yard safely. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the door.

Tang Shishi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the person coming, "Feng Qian?"

"Sister Tang." Feng Qian was wearing plain clothes, her chin was almost paler than her clothes. Standing at the door, Feng Qian covered her mouth and coughed a few times. She raised her head and smiled at Master Tang, "I'm here by accident, is it convenient for Sister Tang?"

After Tang Shishi's accident, he quickly regained his senses. She smiled and said to Feng Qian, "It's convenient. I heard that you are sick recently. It's windy outside. Come in quickly."

Feng Qian thanked her and entered the room gently and slowly. Tang Shishi led Feng Qian to sit on the bed of the Luohan, and motioned to the maid to serve tea: "I'm so humble here, I'm so negligent, I'm sorry."

Feng Qian glanced around. Tang Shishi's residence could not be considered large, but the three main rooms were bright and spacious, with screens, tables and chairs, Duobao Pavilion, and canopy beds. It was not rich, but it was warm enough.

Compared with Liuyunyuan, which was crowded with nine people, it was already one sky and one underground.

Feng Qian covered the corners of her lower lip with a handkerchief, and said with a slight smile, "Sister Tang, what are you talking about, you are still very crude here, so what should we do? The lord is so kind to Sister Tang."

Tang Shishi raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? We all came to serve in Prince Jing's mansion. The prince took care of me because of Mammy Feng's face, but I couldn't really get carried away. I and everyone are the same. the same."

"Sister Tang is right, I was the one who made a blunder." Feng Qian smiled, "It's still Sister Tang who sees far-reachingly."

Feng Qian doesn't seem to be in good health. She gets sick from time to time when she is on the road. Now that she arrives at the palace, her condition becomes more and more lingering. Even though she smiled, her face was weak.

Tang Shishi saw Feng Qian's appearance and asked, "I live far away, so many news are inconvenient. I heard that you have had a cold in the past few days. Are you feeling better now?"

Feng Qian lowered her head and sighed like she was giving up: "It's still the same, my body is like this, I'm just going to endure."

Tang Shishi smiled and said, "You are still young, so you can't say these depressing words. It's just that you have contracted the cold. You are good to have a baby, and you will be fine in a few days."

"Thank you, Sister Tang." Feng Qian looked at Shishi Tang gratefully. She took Tang Shishi's hand and said with a sense of loss, "Among the ten people in my group, I admire Sister Tang the most. Sister Tang can do everything well, unlike me, Since the birth of my mother, I have been sick and troubled, and I have no energy to do anything. I am weak and have no ambitions. I feel very good to live a stable life like now.”

What do these words say to her? Tang Shishi did not answer rashly, but comforted: "You are still young, don't be discouraged."

Feng Qian shook her head slowly, her expression slack: "I know best about my body, my temperament, and what kind of life I can live. I am stupid and weak, and my temperament is not likable, and I have never been able to be a successful person. I am very satisfied that I can live my life safely. I sometimes dislike Ji Xinxian for being noisy, and sometimes I envy her for her vitality. Probably only a healthy person like her who has been favored since she was a child dares to shout about everything. ."

Tang Shishi stopped for a while and asked quietly, "Ji Xinxian is making a fuss in Liuyun Academy now?"

"How can you not make a fuss?" Feng Qian sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "She heard that Sister Zhou and Sister Ren are going to serve the prince's pen and ink. Only shamelessly hid with Sister Tang. Thank you Sister Tang for taking me in."

Tang Shishi ignored Feng Qian's polite words and found another piece of information.

Ji Xinxian also likes Shizi? This is a coincidence, Tang Shishi, Zhou Shunhua, Ren Yujun, and now there is another Ji Xinxian, the goal is the son.

Obviously this is Prince Jing's mansion, and Prince Jing is the one who holds the power. Why did everyone choose to cling to the prince instead of Prince Jing

Tang Shishi took the next step because he read the book and felt that the prince was young and easy to manipulate. But others don't know the future, why do they do the same

Tang Shishi kept calm and asked, "Why is Ji Xinxian making a fuss in Liuyun Courtyard? The prince only needs two people, and the places are already full, but King Jing is still vacant here. If she really wants to find something to do, go and ask King Jing, maybe still have a chance."

Hearing this, Feng Qian looked out. Tang Shishi noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Qian motioned for Tang Shishi to approach, lowered her voice and said, "Sister Tang, I admire your talents, I only tell you this. Ji Xinxian pesters the prince but does not pester King Jing because she does not dare."

"Why?"

Feng Qian looked to both sides quietly, and after confirming that there was no one around, she said in an airy voice, "Because King Jing defeated his wife."

g wife? Tang Shishi raised her eyebrows, she didn't know anything about this. After all, she grew up in Linqing, and there are differences between officials and businessmen. She didn't know the news that many daughters of officials had been fascinated by them since childhood.

Tang Shishi looked at Feng Qian, and Feng Qian's reflection was clearly reflected in his bright eyes: "Is this true?"

Feng Qian said softly, "Naturally, I don't have the guts to talk nonsense like this."

Tang Shishi was thoughtful. Feng Qian's father was a civil servant in the Imperial Academy. If Feng Qian knew it, it meant that in the capital's official circle, it was not a secret that King Jing defeated his wife. This can also explain why Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua came to King Jing's mansion and did not try King Jing at all, but directly chose Zhao Zixun as their target.

Tang Shishi peeled a piece of fruit for Feng Qian, put it on the plate in front of Feng Qian, and said softly: "Miss Feng, I will go to King Jing tomorrow to serve as an errand. King Jing is unselfish, and I am afraid that I am doing something wrong. So I provoke King Jing's taboo. I'm asking my sister to help me, I don't know, what's going on with this wife?"

"It's my luck to be able to help Sister Tang." Feng Qian covered her lips with a handkerchief, leaned closer, and whispered, "I overheard when I was in Beijing, there is no princess in Prince Jing's mansion, it's not that Prince Jing has no intention of getting married, But King Jing had previously ordered two princesses, both of whom died before they got married. One is the eldest daughter of the Xi family, and the other is the eldest granddaughter of General Li."

Tang Shishi realized, no wonder, she said why King Jing didn't have a wife, and the queen mother sent the beauty all the way. It turned out that the princess was all dead.

Tang Shishi asked, "Did the two princesses die of illness?"

Feng Qian shook her head. After all, this was a royal secret, and Feng Qian didn't know these details.

Tang Shishi sent Feng Qian away. That night, when he opened the book, he saw that the plot was updated.

Tang Shishi looked at the title of the next chapter with a blank expression, "There is no suspicion of school time, and the beginning of love will last for the rest of my life."

At the end of the previous chapter, the book describes the school time of Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun in this way.

"At this time, Zhou Shunhua didn't know that what she was about to face was the best time in her life. Years later, when Zhou Shunhua, who had become an empress, was sitting alone in Kunning Palace, she would often think, if time could stop at How good should it be in school. She is a lowly maid, Zhao Zixun is a heroic young man, and Ren Yujun is still her best sister. Her biggest worry every day is worrying about how tomorrow's son will make things difficult for her. , unlike now, the sisters turned against each other, the husband and wife were strangers, and even the son had a quarrel with her."

Tang Shishi snorted and closed the book angrily. The most beautiful youth, close sisters, handsome young man deliberately teasing the woman he likes...

Tang Shishi thought indifferently, why has she never been treated like this? She also had childhood sweethearts with people, and she had no guesses. She also went to school for Qi Jingsheng, but she had never felt what it was like to be liked by others.

Obviously she worked so hard.

Tang Shishi closed the book, not wanting to read any further. She understands that there is no substitute for juvenile affection. Once she misses the opportunity of the school, even if Tang Shishi wins Zhao Zixun, he will always be lower than Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun.

Tang Shishi gnashed her teeth at the thought of this. Today, she could have succeeded.

Tang Shishi endured his anger and fell asleep. When he sat in the study cubicle the next day, he still couldn't relax.

Tang Shishi looked at the thick stack of books in front of him, then looked at Liu Ji, and asked politely, "Eunuch Liu, may I ask if this is..."

Liu Ji copied his hands and said unhurriedly, "These books are all precious and unique. The lord spent a lot of time searching for them. The girl can read these books. I wonder how many great scholars in the Hanlin Academy envy you."

Tang Shishi gradually had an ominous premonition: "So, what did the lord ask me to do?"

Liu Ji smiled and said, "Your Highness said, since Miss Tang's talent is the first in the harem, it's even more impossible to humiliate the girl's talent. It's better for the girl to copy all these books, so that the girl can have a deeper understanding of literature. When the girl finishes copying, there will be the next batch, so don't worry, girl."

Tang Shishi couldn't even maintain her smile. She tried her best to pull the corners of her lips, gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Lord."

It's fine if you don't have the conditions when you're on your way. You've already arrived at the Jingwang Mansion. Do you still want to live with others? Tang Shishi has never been short of material things. Even if he entered the palace, he was cultivated as a potential stock all the way, and he has never been mistreated.

Unexpectedly, after entering Prince Jing's mansion, her treatment plummeted. Tang Shishi didn't believe that such a big palace would have no extra houses.

Obviously, King Jing didn't want to see them very much, or even didn't want to see them. Send them to the inter-hospital and let them fend for themselves.

Tang Shishi was only silent for a while, then took the lead in picking a room. Complaining is useless, it is important to solve the problem, to be a superior person after suffering and suffering, thinking about the glory of the empress dowager, what is this setback now

Ji Xinxian and her little sister were indignant, when she saw Tang Shishi walking inside, she quickly called out, "Hey, Tang Shishi, what are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going to pick a room." Tang Shishi glanced at Ji Xinxian coldly, "Didn't you hear what the old lady said?"

Probably no one thought that the first to recognize the reality was Tang Shishi, the most flamboyant and critical on the road. Tang Shishi's words seemed to have turned on a switch, and the other women, not to be outdone, stepped forward one after another, for fear that they would be one step behind if it was too late.
