When Zhao Chengjun saw the woman standing at the front, his eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. On the other hand, Zhao Zixun, who was sitting on the side, was much more intense.

Zhao Zixun was deeply impressed by Tang Shishi. He didn't want to be manipulated by the palace, so he had to flee outside. Those who pursued him were his father's personal soldiers. Both parties were cautious, and no one dared to alarm King Jing. Zhao Zixun hid in the beam of the house and was accidentally discovered by a woman in the house. That woman was smart and generous, and she was unique among the group of chattering beauties. Later, she found him when she was pouring tea, and Zhao Zixun was ready to kill her. Unexpectedly, the woman was calm and did not make a sound.

Zhao Zixun had a good impression of this woman, but then another woman came back.

When Zhao Zixun saw Tang Shishi, he also thought that the capital was not involved in personnel affairs, and the beauties he sent were not bad. Tang Shishi was a little noisy when she was in the room, Zhao Zixunnian endured her arrogance because she was good-looking. Zhao Zixun thought that this was another beautiful and arrogant but brainless beauty in a vase. How could he have imagined that after Tang Shishi left the house, he rushed to the front and shouted, "The little girl knows where the assassin is!"

Zhao Zixun didn't want to recall the scene at that time a second time. He didn't know where Tang Shishi had such courage, and he didn't even know where Tang Shishi saw that there was someone in the room. Both Zhao Zixun and Zhou Shunhua were caught off guard, and Zhao Zixun didn't even have time to warn Zhou Shunhua, so he broke out of the window.

Thanks to Tang Shishi's trick, now Zhao Zixun is deeply impressed by this face, but Zhou Shunhua's face is gradually blurred. As soon as this line of beauties came in, Zhao Zixun recognized Tang Shishi at first sight. All Zhao Zixun's attention was attracted by Tang Shishi, so he didn't even notice that Zhou Shunhua was there.

Tang Shishi bravely saluted the first two people: "See His Royal Highness King Jing, see the prince."

Behind him, a row of beauties bowed down with Tang Shishi, and their movements were uniform and beautiful, each with its own merits. Ji Xinxian made a special trip to dress up today, and she exhausted her thoughts in a simple salute. This dress and this posture can best highlight the advantages of her figure.

Ji Xinxian felt good about herself, she thought happily, the first meeting was the most important thing, but if it could attract the attention of the prince and the prince, it would be even better. Although the other women were not as eager for quick success as Ji Xinxian, everyone put their minds to the clothes.

They are either thinking about competing for favor, or thinking about hiding their clumsiness, each with their own minds. However, they waited for a long time, but there was no response from above.

Gradually, some people became agitated, and those with poor concentration quietly raised their heads to see that King Jing was rubbing his tea cup, mixed with joy and anger.

They followed the line of sight of the prince and found that the focus was Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi brought all the daughters to greet him, but neither King Jing nor the prince called her up.

Tang Shishi remained motionless, his chin was slightly lowered, and he pretended not to feel the gazes from all directions. Among these gazes, the two above are the ones that have the most presence. Zhao Zixun stared at her and said nothing. King Jing glanced at her from time to time, which made Tang Shishi extremely stressed, and cold sweat oozes from his back.

Tang Shishi even thought with pleasure that according to the information revealed in the catalogue, King Jing counterattacked and entered the capital in the future, and established himself as emperor. Not long after he was injured and died on the battlefield, Zhao Zixun was able to ascend the throne as emperor. Now she is looked at by two generations of emperors, and there are many lines.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mammy Feng said quickly: "Your Highness King Jing, this is a smart person carefully selected by the Empress Dowager from the harem beauties. You are busy with political affairs, you have not been at home for a year, and there is no princess in charge of the palace, the Empress Dowager is worried. You have no one to serve you, so you sent ten beauties on purpose. You don’t have to worry that these are people from the palace, just treat them as maids. If they can share the worries of Your Highness, it will be their blessing.”

When Momma Feng spoke, Zhao Chengjun finally moved. He raised his eyebrows and said unhurriedly, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The beauties carefully selected by the Queen Mother are estimated to be young ladies at home. Being a mistress in the capital makes it so, and being a maid in this palace, I’m afraid I will humiliate a few.”

"It's not disgraceful." Feng mama hurriedly replied, "It's their honor to be able to serve King Jing. You said, isn't it?"

Tang Shishi and a group of beauties bowed their heads and said in unison, "Yes."

The beauties even turned a thousand times in response, and listened tactfully. Zhao Chengjun thought that if ten of his subordinates only made such a noise in response, he would have to resort to military law. It's just that this is a beauty sent by Master Wang, and she can't be beaten or scolded. Zhao Chengjun was no longer interested, and said: "I have the empress dowager's memory, and the elder did not dare to say no. Since it is the empress dowager's kindness, this king will accept it. Come and send them to the backyard."

Mammy Feng was very relieved, she smiled, kept observing Zhao Chengjun's expression, and said, "The Empress Dowager is afraid that they are stupid, and she will dislike her Highness, and she specially taught them singing and dancing, needlework, cooking, etc. before leaving. If it doesn't meet His Highness's wishes, His Highness's discipline is that you don't have to worry about the empress dowager's face."

Zhao Chengjun and Mammy Feng were talking polite words that no one believed, and Tang Shishi and several others had already been led out of the main hall by the waiter. Until she walked out for a long time, Tang Shishi felt that someone was staring at her from behind, as if she wanted to stare her out of a hole.

Tang Shishi sighed inwardly, she had offended the male protagonist before she even entered the door. God bless, the male protagonist is not a grudge.

But when I saw him today, Tang Shishi finally knew what the male protagonist looked like. He looks about the same age as them, with slender eyebrows and raised corners, with amorous peach eyes. Sitting in the hall, he can also be called a handsome young man.

But with Zhuyu in front, Tang Shishi always felt that the male protagonist was a little different in appearance. Zhao Zixun's appearance cannot be said to be bad, but he is sitting next to Zhao Chengjun, and everyone can see at a glance that Zhao Chengjun is the master.

It has nothing to do with looks, but an aura. What's more, Zhao Chengjun's appearance is not bad, he is a typical royal appearance, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose bridge, sharp edges and corners. Sitting there without having to speak, the others bowed down consciously.

This is the temperament that can be nurtured by generations of royal power. The prince who came out of the Forbidden City was different from the clan raised on the vassal land.

But these have nothing to do with Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, actively thinking about how to reverse the male protagonist's impression of her and compete for favor among the beauties.

forecourt.

Mammy Feng had already sent off, and at this moment, only Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun were left in the main hall. Zhao Chengjun got up, and Zhao Zixun naturally followed behind Zhao Chengjun and followed him to the study.

Zhao Chengjun asked, "What do you think of today's events?"

Zhao Zixun pondered for a moment and said, "The Empress Yao has bad intentions, these women cannot be kept."

Of course Zhao Chengjun knew that Empress Yao had no good intentions. Empress Dowager Yao is Zhao Chengjun's nominal mother. Since the death of his biological mother Guo Guifei, the relationship between Zhao Chengjun and Empress Dowager Yao has completely broken down.

It's just that due to the dignity of the royal family, the two sides have to maintain face. In fact, everyone knows how much the other hates the other.

In the battle for the throne that year, the Empress Dowager Yao and her son Zhao Chengxuan won, and the three Zhao Chengjun brothers died of casualties. At that time, Empress Dowager Yao was so proud, but I didn't expect that Zhao Chengxuan died of illness a few years after he ascended the throne, but he didn't live as long as Zhao Chengjun. Empress Dowager Yao supported Zhao Chengxuan's only son to be enthroned, who is now the little emperor.

Empress Yao was afraid of Zhao Chengjun, and had to rely on Zhao Chengjun to guard the frontier and contain the northwest. In the end, she even came up with a plan to send beauty.

Zhao Chengjun thought it was ridiculous, he looked like someone who would be bewitched by beauty tricks? Counting on a few women to monitor him, Zhao Chengjun didn't know whether to call Empress Yao naive or whimsical.

Zhao Chengjun said these words originally for the examination of Zhao Zixun. Zhao Zixun's opinion is correct, but it is too superficial. Zhao Chengjun didn't say anything, just said: "You know it's a good thing to guard against them, but for the superior, you have to be tolerant. What's the use of killing them, they are just chess pieces."

"Father, look..."

"Keep it, leave it in the backyard, let them fend for themselves, anyway, the palace is not short of their expenses." After speaking, Zhao Chengjun gave Zhao Zixun a cold look, "It's you, you should take care of yourself. already."

The dignified son can actually do such a thing as escaping from marriage.

Zhao Zixun was embarrassed, he was unwilling to accept his father's arrangement to get married, and he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only flee outside for the time being. Zhao Zixun didn't believe it, since no one was there, Liu Li could still go on. When he escaped, he did not dare to disturb Zhao Chengjun, nor did the pursuers dare to disturb the prince. At the inn that day, Ma Er and the others did not even dare to reveal their identities.

As a result, Zhao Chengjun found out. But think about it, in this land in the northwest, what other things can be hidden from the eyes of King Jing.

Zhao Chengjun was really angry, and he personally brought someone back to capture Zhao Zixun. Because the people from the capital came, Zhao Chengjun kept holding back and did not settle. Now seeing Zhao Zixun's performance, Zhao Chengjun is faintly angry again.

If you don't want to get married, you can say it as much as you can, and what kind of ability is it to run away from marriage? For such a big person, he doesn't even take responsibility for this.

If this is Zhao Chengjun's own son, his leg must have been broken at this moment, but Zhao Zixun is not. Zhao Chengjun thought that Zhao Zixun's biological father sacrificed to save him, causing Zhao Zixun to lose his father at a young age and become displaced. In the end, Zhao Chengjun didn't say anything, just said: "Forget it, if you don't want to get married, this matter will be postponed. But I don't want to see it a second time when I'm escaping."

Zhao Zixun didn't dare to breathe, and hurriedly responded. After a while, he seemed to hesitate and asked, "Father, those women..."

"If you like it, just pick it up and take it away." Zhao Chengjun didn't care about it. He didn't even want to take a look at the people sent by the Queen Mother Yao. However, when Zhao Chengjun thought of a person, he glanced at Zhao Zixun lightly, and his tone was indifferent between joy and anger: "The woman at the head, Tang Shishi, has a lot of ambition. It's enough for you to be beautiful and take a concubine, but, take a good measure, don't Being led by a woman's nose."

Zhao Zixun was relieved to hear this, and finally showed a sincere smile, stood up straight and said, "Yes, my son understands."

Zhao Chengjun became more and more dissatisfied when he saw the change in Zhao Zixun's expression. He has never seen him so active in fighting the enemy, studying and practicing martial arts. He knew that it was a woman sent from the palace, but he still couldn't control himself.

Zhao Chengjun actually doesn't agree with Zhao Zixun hanging out with women. Before they get married, there are concubines in groups. What does it look like? Only direct wives and direct descendants are patriarchal inheritance.

However, this is not his parent-child after all, and Zhao Chengjun is not easy to say. He could only keep an eye out in the dark, guard Zhao Zixun, and never let Zhao Zixun be swayed by those girls.

Especially Tang Shishi is important.
