Chapter 25: drunk

Views:

"Zhou Shunhua was drunk when she drank wine. She couldn't be pushed at the banquet. After drinking two glasses, her face turned red, her eyes were blurred and her eyes were like silk. She was obviously drunk. Go outside to sober up. However, Zhou Shunhua doesn't know how attractive she is, Zhao Zixun worried that Zhou Shunhua would be taken advantage of, and quickly followed."

After that, Zhou Shunhua was almost molested by a man, but fortunately Zhao Zixun arrived in time to drive him away. Zhou Shunhua was already unconscious. When she saw Zhao Zixun, she hugged Zhao Zixun with flushed cheeks and confided a lot of truth.

At that time, the grassland was quiet and peaceful, and the two of them sat on the grassy slope and talked for a long time. Finally, Zhou Shunhua fell asleep on the grass, Zhao Zixun picked her up by the waist, and carried her back to the camp in front of everyone.

Tang Shishi closed the book and covered his eyes sadly. She is often incompatible with male and female protagonists because of different brain circuits. It turned out that she couldn't be the heroine, not only because she was not kind enough, but also because she was too drunk.

Tang Shishi recalled what he had read, and found that the heroine was either a delicate young lady or a steadfast peasant daughter, but without exception, all of them got drunk, blushing, weak and weak and had a story with the male protagonist, maybe Just got in touch. Anyway, there is no Tang Shishi like this, you can drink a Mongolian strong man, and he is still unscathed.

Zhou Shunhua and Shizi borrowed wine to speak the truth, and were hugged by Princess Zhao Zixun, while Tang Shishi and Naren Tuoya, the two foolish ones, were still in front of you, drinking and drinking.

Simply hopeless.

After Tang Shishi was overwhelmed with grief, he reluctantly sorted out his mood and thought about a remedy. What has happened can't be changed, instead of chagrining and remorse, it is better to think about how to recover. Tang Shishi went to the catalog to check the spoilers. She speculated on the title and found that most of the following plots were related to Naren Toya.

Naren Toya is just a trivial role in the heroine's struggle, and her role is not even as much as that of Tang Shishi. After entering the palace, Tang Shishi became a concubine. However, Naren Toya only appeared in the autumn hunt, and the only effect was probably to fall in love with the male lead, because jealousy kept provoking the female lead, and she used her ignorance to set off Zhou Shunhua's indifference and magnanimity, and was bold at the end. Zhao Zixun was bumped into by Zhou Shunhua, thus completing the important task of helping the male and female protagonists recognize their feelings and realize the transformation of the relationship.

In the plot, Tang Shishi did not participate in this autumn hunt, so there was no Tang Shishi's role in it. In other words, Tang Shishi wanted to add drama to himself. Tang Shishi read the titles of the nearby chapters three times and did not dare to make a decision lightly.

She found that her thinking was different from that of the male and female protagonists. Starting from the discovery of the assassin at the station, Tang Shishi perfectly missed every correct option, and successfully went further and further with the male protagonist. She can no longer follow her own way of thinking. If she chooses the wrong number a few times, she will have to end early.

Tang Shishi decided to sharpen his knife first, and then chop wood. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be safe in a hundred battles. She has to understand Zhao Zixun's thoughts first, and then she can make a choice that Zhao Zixun likes.

When Tang Shishi heard a voice outside, she hid the book and rubbed her hands outside. A guard passed by with something, Tang Shishi saw it, and quickly stopped him: "Wait, don't go first."

When the guard saw that it was Master Tang, he stood still and asked respectfully, "Does Miss Tang have any orders?"

"I'm just a maid, you don't have to be so polite to me, we can just talk as usual." Tang Shishi said, and asked, "Is the prince back?"

"Yes, the banquet is over, the lord sent away King Zhongshun and just came back."

Tang Shishi snorted. She looked at the thing in the guard's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Sober tea."

Tang Shishi thought to himself that this was a great opportunity from heaven. Is there anyone in the world who knows the prince better than King Jing? She stepped forward to take the things, and said to the guard, "I'll just send it in. Go and rest."

The guards knew that this girl Tang was unusual, and most likely she was the future mistress of the palace. The guard didn't say much, he handed the sobering tea to Master Tang and left with interest: "Thank you Miss Tang, I will retire from my position."

Tang Shishi took the tea and walked cautiously into the room. As expected, Zhao Chengjun was inside. He took off his saber and was still wearing the red dragon robe, but he was less chilling and more gentle than before.

Zhao Chengjun was sitting on the slump, his fingers pressed between his eyebrows, and he was closing his eyes and resting. He heard footsteps and said, "Bring it up."

Tang Shishi put the tea in front of Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Chengjun took the tea, not surprised at all why it was her: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Tang Shishi smiled awkwardly, and said softly, "Thank you, Lord, for saving me."

Tang Shishi thought that Zhao Chengjun would be polite, but Zhao Chengjun said "um" and stopped talking.

Tang Shishi's smile gradually stiffened, the woman thanked him, and King Jing responded directly? This... how to proceed with the topic behind her

Tang Shishi could only bite the bullet and continued to talk to himself: "I thank you, Lord, today, I don't know what I would have done. By the way, Lord, Naren Toya is the palm of King Zhongshun, and I am attached to it. Frustrating her several times, will it affect the overall situation?"

Zhao Chengjun laughed, finally raised his head, and glanced at Master Tang with a half-smiling smile: "Now that I think about it, it affects the overall situation? When you were singing and dancing just now, why didn't you worry about the overall situation?"

Tang Shishi smiled embarrassedly, and said flatteringly: "Isn't this a prince? When a prince is there, the little girl dares to be presumptuous. Prince, why did you ask the prince to save Narentoya today?"

Tang Shishi didn't know the situation when the horse was frightened, but without King Jing's approval, Zhao Zixun would never rescue Naren Toya. Anji Timur, Temur and a group of people from Beiting were all there, and even if Zhao Zixun couldn't go, Naren Toya would be fine.

Zhao Chengjun said in a light tone, "He was at the intersection at the time. There is nothing wrong with not saving people, but it will chill the hearts of Beiting people. It's better to take advantage of the situation and do a show."

Tang Shishi stopped for a while and asked quietly, "Then why does it have to be the prince?"

As long as someone from the Yan Dynasty rescued Naren Toya, King Jing's purpose has been achieved. Why do you have to let Zhao Zixun go

Zhao Chengjun held the tea cup and slowly swiped the foam. After a long time, he said, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

This is a very strange thing. Tang Shishi considered his words and sentences in front of Zhao Zixun, wishing to make every strand of his hair perfect, but facing Zhao Chengjun, she didn't care that much. Tang Shishi asked, "Do you want your son to marry Naren Toya?"

Zhao Chengjun laughed immediately when he heard it, and sneered: "How is that possible."

"Then why..."

"Anji Timur only got a daughter at the age of 40, and he is very fond of her. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is asking for anything. Zhao Zixun wants to inherit the palace of King Jing, which represents the face of the Yan Dynasty, and must not have a foreign concubine. But a woman Not all of them are concubines. If Naren Toya has feelings for Zhao Zixun, she will still miss Zhao Zixun when she returns to the North Court. At that time, Anji Timur will be afraid of the rat, and she will inevitably be restrained when she acts, even at some key points. Click it, and it will work wonders.”

Tang Shishi was silent, and after a while, he whispered: "My lord, you are taking advantage of a girl's feelings."

"What's wrong." Zhao Chengjun didn't care, and took a sip of tea, "The world is like chess, everyone is a chess piece. I am a bargaining chip, why can't he?"

Tang Shishi was a little angry, but he didn't know what to say. She held it back for a long time, and said angrily: "You are not married yourself, why don't you use your marriage instead of playing with the prince?"

"That's it." Zhao Chengjun put down the tea and said casually, "Because I am King Jing, and he is only the prince. Is that enough?"

"..." Tang Shishi was suffocated, completely speechless.

Tang Shishi felt more and more that Zhao Chengjun was not a good person. The closer he got, the more terrifying he could feel. People who grew up in a colosseum like the palace are cold from the root.

Zhao Chengjun drank half a cup of sober tea, and felt that his mind had regained consciousness, and his reaction speed was not inferior to normal, so he put it down. He is not actually drunk, but in order not to affect his judgment, Zhao Chengjun always drinks tea to hangover immediately after drinking, so as not to allow himself any possibility of wrong judgment.

But now, Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your alcohol intake is not bad."

Tang Shishi was thinking about something when she suddenly heard Zhao Chengjun's voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Yes, my grandfather started from scratch and has been in shopping malls for many years, and he has few rivals in drinking. Although my father was a poor boy, he counted one or two generations up. , is also a businessman. In fact, I seldom drink alcohol, and the amount of alcohol is not very good, thanks to the good foundation given by the elders. "

Zhao Chengjun chuckled lightly and said, "It's also your rare strength. This is good, and you won't be taken advantage of by others."

Tang Shishi was a little moved, and just as he was about to thank him, he heard Zhao Chengjun continue to say, "All mistakes were made by myself when I was awake, and I can't blame anyone."

"..." Tang Shishi silently retracted his feelings. She even felt that her brain was corrupted by alcohol, and she felt that Zhao Chengjun was caring about her.

How could it be, he was using his own son's feelings.

In another tent, Zhao Zixun saw Zhou Shunhua finish drinking the hangover tea with his own eyes, and asked, "Now, are you better?"

Zhou Shunhua lay on the collapse and nodded silently: "It's much better, thank you, Prince."

Zhou Shunhua's face was still blushing, the dizziness passed, and she gradually felt a pain in her head. It may be due to the influence of the body, Zhou Shunhua felt inexplicably depressed. She looked at Zhao Zixun and said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm useless, I'm not good at drinking, so I can only leave the table early, but the lord is different from me, there are so many people at the banquet..."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Zixun said, "You are in danger, I can't just sit back and ignore it. Besides, there is also my father. The people of Beiting are mainly for my father, and I just sit with me."

When King Jing was mentioned, Zhou Shunhua did not dare to say it. She knew very well that King Jing was different from other men she had met. This man was both capable and cruel enough. If King Jing wanted to kill her, Zhou Shunhua would be killed silently immediately. She still has her life, but she feels that Zhou Shunhua is not a threat.

Zhou Shunhua didn't dare to provoke the relationship between Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun. She dared to guarantee that if she showed this kind of meaning a little bit, even if she just said a word, she would die in the tent early tomorrow morning. By then, everything will be over.

In this sense, Zhou Shunhua quite envied Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi made no secret of her ambitions. Everyone felt that she was simple-minded, vicious and stupid, and not a threat, so everyone trusted her. For example, Queen Mother Yao, such as Mammy Feng, such as King Jing.

Is Master Tang really stupid? No one knows, but the final situation is that Tang Shishi wandered back and forth among several forces, each party trusted her, each party felt that she was their own, and firmly believed that she would not betray her.

Maybe it is Tang Shishi's character to deal with smart people. Two deeply scheming people, no matter how close they are, can't really trust the other.

As for Zhou Shunhua, he didn't really hide his clumsiness, nor did he win the trust of either King Jing or Empress Dowager Yao. She was even trembling all the time, and she even calculated to please Zhao Zixun more than to show her true feelings.

Zhou Shunhua clearly knew where her crux was, but at this moment, she couldn't help lowering her eyes and said paradoxically, "Thanks to Miss Tang today. Miss Tang can sing and dance well, even the little princess in Beiting is not as good as her. It really made a face for me."

After Zhou Shunhua finished speaking, he went to carefully observe Zhao Zixun's expression. Zhao Zixun paused, avoided talking, and just said: "You are different from her. She is too sharp, and everything is written on her face, which is out of style."

Zhou Shunhua lowered her eyes, she naturally did not miss it, Zhao Zixun's words no longer showed the obvious disgust as before. Zhao Zixun hated Tang Shishi very much at first, but as time passed, his hatred gradually turned for the better.

Zhao Zixun said that Tang Shishi was out of style, and noble girls should be as elegant as lotus without fighting or grabbing, while Tang Shishi was very active in competing for what he wanted. This is indeed not subtle enough, not decent enough, but it is undeniable that Tang Shishi got everything she wanted.

Even Zhao Zixun, whom Tang Shishi had been fighting for, actually changed his attitude unknowingly. Tang Shishi has succeeded.

So, what's the use of having face? It's real only when you're doing well.

Zhou Shunhua watched Zhao Zixun silently, she knew that she had to take a strong medicine.

The next day, the camp was lively early in the morning. Today is the first day of hunting, everyone is gearing up and excited. Before dawn, the gate of the camp was decorated with brocade clothes and jade belts, with tall horses, a luxurious pomp of aristocratic hunting.

But these have nothing to do with Tang Shishi. Because she is a woman, she can't ride a horse or shoot an arrow, so she can only stay in the camp and wait for her return from hunting. Tang Shishi respectfully escorted King Jing out, and it didn't take long for the sound of the whole team to be heard outside, and then the earth shook, and the sound of horses' hooves went away, and it was gradually inaudible.

King Jing left, and the camp was quiet. Tang Shishi walked around in the tent. He was so bored that he could only go outside to practice horse riding.

Waiting for good luck to happen has never been Tang Shishi's style. If there is no chance, she will create opportunities for herself. King Jing didn't bring female family members because women's riding skills were poor. What if her riding skills were enough to keep up with the army

While unlikely, hope is better than sitting idly by. Tang Shishi went to the grass to practice horseback riding, and he practiced for a day. She is much stronger today than yesterday, and can already control the horse's trot. Tang Shishi focused on controlling the horse, but did not pay attention to the distance, and went out very far.

Tang Shishi looked back at the starting point and felt that it was not appropriate to take risks, so he planned to go back on a horse. She walked a few steps, and the ground under her feet suddenly shook. Tang Shishi immediately realized that King Jing and others had returned.

She hurriedly pulled the horse aside, but just now the horse was obedient and obedient, but when he was in a hurry, he was disobedient. Tang Shishi became more and more anxious and made mistakes. When he turned around, he found in despair that King Jing had returned, and she happened to be stuck in the middle.

Really wronged, she didn't mean it.

Zhao Chengjun was advancing at full speed, and he saw someone in front of him from a distance, and the silhouette was familiar. He had already anticipated what was going to happen next, and reined in his horse early. The people behind noticed that Zhao Chengjun was slowing down and stopped.

Jiaoxue stepped on the horse's hooves irritably, and stopped halfway impatiently. Zhao Chengjun held the reins loosely in his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Shishi pointed at the horse and said innocently: "Congratulations to the lord. I didn't mean to disturb, this horse is not very obedient..."

Before Tang Shishi finished speaking, the horse moved, walked forward slowly, and gave way. Tang Shishi was so embarrassed that he tried to appear sincere: "Just now, it was really disobedient."

Anji Timur laughed, and the attendant behind King Jing also had a "we understand" expression. Tang Shishi had lost all face in her life, she silently moved aside, not wanting to speak any more.

A movement was also heard in the camp, and Narentoya rushed over quickly, and her voice could be heard from afar: "Father Khan, where is the white sable I want?"

Narentoya rushed over on a horse, and Anji Timur saw Narentoya and said with a smile: "Baby Naya, look, the wild boar I brought back for you."

Naren Toya rushed to her father. She saw the prey behind and said with disgust, "Who wants to see wild boars, my white sable?"

This season, where to find white sable. However, Princess Narentoya lost her temper, and she ignored it. Anji Timur and Temur showed Narentoya several prey together, and she was not satisfied.

Tang Shishi followed, carefully hiding himself in the large group. She found that Zhao Chengjun glanced at Zhao Zixun, Zhao Zixun understood, and took the initiative to say to Naren Toya: "County Lord, although there is no white sable, I saw a fox today."

"Fox?" Narentoya's interest was diverted, and she turned around and asked, "Where is the fox?"

Naren Toya was originally in Beiting's team, and never paid attention to King Jing's side. At this time, she turned around and found that there was actually a woman in the team, who was Tang Shishi.

Naren Toya suddenly seemed to see something remarkable, and stopped asking the fox, rode directly across the team, and asked aggressively, "Why are you here?"

Tang Shishi was also very innocent and said, "I came here and happened to meet the prince and came back from hunting."

"Just by chance?" Naren Toya snorted and raised her eyebrows, "Who believes! Did you go hunting with you?"

Tang Shishi secretly looked at Zhao Chengjun with his eyes. When it was over, the prince was still waiting to send a fox to Naren Toya. Why did Naren Toya not pester Zhao Zixun, but ran to Tang Shishi instead? Tang Shishi tried to turn Naren Toya's attention back to the prince: "Really not, how can I go hunting with my riding skills? Princess, I'm going back, I won't accompany you."

Tang Shishi made a U-turn, but Naren Tuoya did not leave, and still followed Tang Shishi closely: "Where are you going? Are you hiding something from me, and now you have a guilty conscience?"

Tang Shishi's original intention was to make room for the prince, but as a result, the space was not vacated, and Naren Toya was taken away from the army. Tang Shishi trembled in his heart, and quickly returned to the team, and quietly rubbed against Zhao Zixun.

However, Naren Toya paid all her attention to Tang Shishi, surrounded Tang Shishi and asked questions, and ignored Zhao Zixun at all. Tang Shishi was embarrassed, Naren Toya, as a savage supporting actress, shouldn't her goal be the prince, why did she come to Tang Shishi

Tang Shishi was forced to enjoy the enthusiastic attention of Princess Beiting, and surrounded her along the way. Tang Shishi ignored her, and Naren Toya took the initiative to ask questions, and talked to Tang Shishi reluctantly. Tang Shishi couldn't even sit still on the horse. Fortunately, she was a woman. If she were a man, she would have been beaten to death by the Beiting people at this moment.

Naren Toya circled around Tang Shishi the whole time, and didn't pay any attention to other people, so Zhao Zixun's fox who came back from hunting naturally disappeared. After arriving at the camp, everyone dismounted to count the prey, and Narentoya was finally called away by her father. When Tang Shishi was free, he hurried to explain to Zhao Chengjun: "My lord, I didn't do it on purpose."

Last night, Zhao Chengjun was outspoken that Naren Toya was part of his plan. Zhao Chengjun naturally wouldn't let Zhao Zixun and Naren Toya have a substantive relationship, but the specious ambiguity between men and women is more arresting than poke.

No matter how daring Tang Shishi was, he would not dare to confront Zhao Chengjun. It was Zhao Chengjun's idea to send a fox today, but Tang Shishi didn't know what was going on. Naren Toya boldly showed her love to Zhao Zixun yesterday.

The result was good, Zhao Zixun finished all the words, but the fox did not send it out. It seems like Tang Shishi deliberately sabotaged it.

With a faint smile on his lips, Zhao Chengjun said, "It's okay, it's fine."

Tang Shishi's back was cold, and Zhao Chengjun's half-smile was more frightening than his cold face. The cold hairs on Tang Shishi's arms stood up, and he said cautiously: "My lord, I'm sorry. Can I do anything to make up for it?"

Zhao Chengjun looked at her with a smile, and said, "It's not a crime for those who don't know, you don't need to apologize. Anyway, it's the same for whoever sends it. It's just right, you go."
