The wind swept across the lake and brought the rain silk into the Huxin Pavilion, which was quite cool. Tang Shishi tugged his sleeves silently, and said without changing his face, "That's right. Today, many people come to look for the lord, and the lord has no time, so let me bring a few words to the prince."

Zhao Zixun's expression became visibly tense: "What did father say?"

Tang Shishi glanced at the people behind Zhao Zixun, Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun also became nervous. Tang Shishi refused to say it cheerfully. She glanced at Zhou Shunhua several times, showing a look of embarrassment: "This... King Jing told the prince alone, and it is not appropriate to pass it on to others."

Zhao Zixun looked sideways and said, "You two go back, you don't have to wait on them today."

Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun both widened their eyes, and they both showed anger towards Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi was really serious, Zhou Shunhua was very suspicious, Tang Shishi did it on purpose, Tang Shishi deliberately separated them, and then he was alone with the prince. However, Zhou Shunhua had doubts, but he couldn't say it. Tang Shishi came to speak on behalf of King Jing, does Zhou Shunhua dare to question King Jing

She dare not. Even if Zhao Zixun also felt that something was wrong, he did not dare to ignore King Jing's orders. Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun were reluctant to go out. When passing by Tang Shishi, Ren Yujun couldn't hold back and glared at Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi felt it, turned his face slightly, and smiled at Ren Yujun, which was beautiful and compelling.

Zhao Chengjun stood at a high place. He tapped his finger on the railing and asked the people behind him, "I don't read so many confidential documents in the study, but I came here to crowd out Zhao Zixun's maid. Tell me, what exactly does she want to do? what?"

This... Liu Ji is embarrassed, even if he knows, he doesn't dare to say it.

Liu Jigan smiled and said, "Miss Tang has a heart, it's unusual, the old slave doesn't know it."

Zhao Chengjun laughed when he heard it, and said unhurriedly: "It's not necessarily the case if you have a heart, but it's true that you have a snake in your heart. Let's go, let's go down and have a look."

Tang Shishi watched Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun reluctantly, but still had to leave according to her words. Tang Shishi was satisfied, raised his chin slightly, and waited for his defeated generals to leave the field, making room for her and Zhao Zixun.

Tang Shishi is a very positive person. Since she is a vicious female supporting role, and there is no chance to get along with the male protagonist alone in the book, then it does not matter, there is no chance, she will create opportunities.

She came all the way at the fastest speed, and Tang Shishi believed that the plot had not yet begun. The same place, the same thing, as long as she drives away the heroine and the supporting actress, the heroine's role will belong to her.

The more Tang Shishi thought about it, the more intelligent he felt, that he was born to be the queen mother. She wished that Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would go away quickly, but the footsteps behind her stopped shortly after. Tang Shishi was impatient and turned around and urged: "Let's go quickly, you don't even listen to the prince's words?"

After Tang Shishi finished speaking, his pupils slowly enlarged: "Your Highness?"

Many squires blocked the passage in the center of the lake. Liu Ji diligently held umbrellas for the people in front. Behind Liu Ji, another eunuch held an umbrella for Liu Ji. There were so many people, but the lake was quiet, and only the sound of rain hitting the lake could be heard.

Zhao Chengjun stood in front of the crowd, looking straight ahead. Hearing Tang Shishi's words, Zhao Chengjun smiled slightly: "Oh, my words?"

Zhao Zixun bowed behind him and saluted Zhao Chengjun: "Father."

Tang Shishi couldn't help scolding Zhao Zixun for being a scumbag in his heart. Tang Shishi had his back to the aisle and couldn't see the movement behind, but Zhao Zixun stood opposite her and absolutely saw King Jing. He clearly knew that King Jing was coming, but he didn't remind him and let Tang Shishi make things up.

Tang Shishi was in a cold sweat in his heart, but he still had to show the style of being flattered and humiliated, and everything was under his control, and he saluted Zhao Chengjun unhurriedly: "See your lord."

Zhao Chengjun walked into the Huxin Pavilion, and the attendants behind him rushed in, quickly and neatly removed the cups and rearranged the seats. When Liu Ji was about to remove the wine stove, Zhao Chengjun raised his hand and said, "No need, just stay."

Liu Ji quickly glanced at Zhao Zixun, and bent down to agree. Zhao Chengjun sat on the seat that Zhao Zixun had just now, picked up the wine glass, turned around, and slowly raised his eyes to look at a few people.

Tang Shishi immediately took a step back and said, "Your Highness, this is the wine of the prince and his maid Wen. The little girl just arrived and doesn't know anything."

Zhao Zixun couldn't bear it any longer, and glanced at Tang Shishi with a cold face. This woman went back on her word and had no bottom line. Just now she deliberately drove Zhou Shunhua away. Now that King Jing came, she immediately set aside the boundaries and cast the blame in front of Zhao Zixun.

Zhao Zixun's face was not good, Zhao Chengjun smiled, put down the wine glass, and said, "Zhao Zixun is not a child, drinking is not a big deal, there is no need to avoid it. However, Sangluo wine is still the best in Hedong, next time, I will let Puzhou Sent from the prefect."

Zhao Zixun breathed a sigh of relief, his face relaxed, and he cupped his hands: "Thank you, father."

Zhao Zixun was relaxed, but Tang Shishi couldn't laugh. It was hard to guess what King Jing was thinking. Just now, she thought that King Jing was going to be punished, so she hurriedly distanced herself from herself. Unexpectedly, King Jing strictly controlled his son's studies, but he didn't care about drinking.

I said earlier, I said earlier that King Jing didn't blame him, why did Tang Shishi jump out? Well now, she offended the male lead again.

Zhao Chengjun glanced lightly, and immediately saw that although Tang Shishi lowered his head, his eyes were rolling around, obviously thinking of deceiving tricks. At this level, and still unwilling to live in peace, Zhao Chengjun didn't know whether to say she was persistent or stupid.

After Zhao Zixun relaxed, he dared to ask other things: "Father, I heard that you are very busy today?"

Zhao Chengjun remained calm and asked, "Why do you ask this question?"

"Tang Shishi said that you can't get away from something, so you asked her to send a message to Erchen. I don't know, what does father have to say to Erchen?"

Tang Shishi realized something was wrong when she heard the previous sentence, but in front of King Jing, she couldn't stop her at all. She watched Zhao Zixun pierce her lies, and when Zhao Chengjun looked over, Tang Shishi's knees softened and he almost knelt down on the spot.

It's over, her life is over.

Zhao Chengjun laughed angrily. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Tang Shishi. He thought that Tang Shishi was just playing tricks, but he didn't agree, she even dared to falsely spread his words.

Zhao Chengjun didn't say a word, and looked at Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi faced King Jing's gaze, his head lower and lower, wishing to bury himself in the crack of the ground. Zhao Zixun noticed that the atmosphere was not right, looked at King Jing, and then looked at Master Tang thoughtfully.

When Tang Shishi couldn't help but kneel down to apologize, Zhao Chengjun spoke up. He said in a light tone, as if it really happened, and said, "You didn't write the policy theory properly the day before yesterday. The art of governance is not like that."

"Why?" Zhao Zixun looked very surprised, and his tone became excited, "That's the proud work of my son, and the master also said that the writing is excellent, neat and gorgeous, and the advance and retreat are appropriate..."

"It has nothing to do with words, it's the pattern." Zhao Chengjun's voice was not high, but every word was powerful, so he immediately intercepted Zhao Zixun's words, "For the best, you must use people, and more importantly, be able to tolerate people. They are all writing about how to control and how to use power to make the two ministers fight each other, but they neglect the most basic things."

Zhao Chengjun stood up. He was taller than Zhao Zixun, and his stature was that of an adult man. He had broad shoulders and a straight and slender body. When he stood in front of Zhao Zixun, from his appearance to his demeanor, he crushed Zhao Zixun.

Zhao Chengjun stopped in front of Zhao Zixun, looked down at him condescendingly, and said slowly: "The emperor's power is not because of how powerful the power is, but because the user is an emperor. There is nothing wrong with power, but it can only be power. , lost the bearing of the superior."

After Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Zixun and strode outside the pavilion. Liu Ji hurriedly held an umbrella for Zhao Chengjun, Tang Shishi secretly glanced at Zhao Zixun, and followed Zhao Chengjun numbly.

Tang Shishi doesn't know how Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun get along in private, but based on her observations, Zhao Chengjun is really an extremely strict father. Not so much a father as a nurturer.

When he looked at Zhao Zixun, he was not looking at his son at all, but at a successor. No wonder Zhao Zixun was afraid of him, Tang Shishi was listening next to him, and he didn't dare to breathe. What's worse is that ordinary fathers train their sons. Even if the son is discouraged, he still knows that he is his own, and the father will not really give up on him. But in King Jing's mansion, this is not the case.

Tang Shishi sighed on behalf of Zhao Zixun. He really didn't know whether it was good or bad to have such an adoptive father. However, Tang Shishi soon lost the heart to pity others. Zhao Chengjun walked back to the study without saying a word, and sat down behind the desk.

Tang Shishi didn't say a word, he knelt down directly, and his expression was about to cry: "My lord, listen to my explanation."

She looked like she was about to cry, but her eyes were rolling so fast that she was about to say you listen to my quibbles. Zhao Chengjun took a good time and said, "Let's talk."

"Well... I, I actually want to care about the prince." Tang Shishi quickly organized the language, "You are so busy every day, but the prince is wandering around the mountains and water, talking about love. It rains today, he doesn't think about how much this heavy rain will make The people are displaced, but they take two maids to warm the wine, what kind of formality is this? The little girl can't see it, so she wants to use the name of the prince to remind the prince one or two."

Zhao Chengjun listened and smiled slowly. It's hard for her, and the compilation is still the same. Zhao Chengjun poured himself a cup of tea and said, "It's really Qu Cai who sent you to Prince Jing's mansion. You are so talented as Luo Zhi, you really should stay in the prison, and Jin Yiwei has added another eagle claw."

Tang Shishi reluctantly smiled: "My lord is joking, I am only a weak woman, how dare I be compared with Lord Changwei."

Zhao Chengjun put down the tea and turned around slowly, watching the tea leaves rise and fall: "Why?"

Tang Shishi didn't dare to answer at will, and asked cautiously: "What is the prince referring to?"

Zhao Chengjun originally wanted to ask Tang Shishi why he paid so much attention to Zhao Zixun, but when he was about to say it, Zhao Chengjun felt that this kind of remark was disrespectful, so he changed his way of asking: "Why are you so hostile to the two maids next to Zhao Zixun, who seem to be called Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun?"

Tang Shishi covered his mouth in surprise, very shocked: "My lord, how do you know their names?"

Zhao Chengjun's brows twitched. It was the first time he was so big that he didn't take his words seriously and asked him instead. Zhao Chengjun smiled and said, "Are you instructing this king? The last one who taught this king to do things was His Majesty Sejong."

"Don't dare." Tang Shishi immediately lowered his head, put the back of his hand on his forehead, and saluted, "The little girl has overstepped, please forgive me. The prince misunderstood, the little girl is not hostile to Zhou Shunhua, but the five-year-old man and woman are not in the same seat, and they haunt the prince all day long. , I'm afraid it will not be conducive to the son's education."

Tang Shishi said seriously, she wanted to observe Zhao Chengjun's expression, but did not dare to look up. Zhao Chengjun sat on the head, slowly turning the tea cup in his hand, noncommittal.

How could Zhao Chengjun not see that Tang Shishi was lying, Zhao Chengjun grew up in the palace, these dramas of fighting between open and secret, fighting for favor and favor, maybe Zhao Chengjun is more familiar than Tang Shishi.

His biological mother, Gonglie Concubine Guo Shi, was the winner of the palace battle and the victim of the power struggle. Tang Shishi's methods are not worth mentioning in front of the former Guo Guifei.

Zhao Chengjun was just a little surprised, he couldn't see that Tang Shishi was actually a man crazy about love. Tang Shishi's ex-fiancé was a modest, handsome, and bookish young man. In a sense, Zhao Zixun was like that too.

This is probably the type that Tang Shishi likes. Zhao Chengjun, a father, should not take care of his son's affairs, but anyone can, not Tang Shishi.

"Master Tang." Zhao Chengjun said suddenly, "I have already thought about the candidate for the wife of Zhao Zixun, the concubine, it will not be any of you."
