It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 78: Loving

Views:

Zhao Zixun didn't want to think back to the scene at that 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 neat and tidy, each with its own advantages. 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 mind 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.

Zhao Chengjun frowned, feeling that this woman was really wrong. When she was at the inn, it could still be explained that she reported her roommate for safety reasons, but now, without any evidence or reason, she is harming people again.

Zhao Chengjun couldn't stand it any longer and came out of the dark. He didn't pay attention to the distance just now, but when he got closer, he discovered that the woman who had been splashed with tea had wooden hibiscus embroidered on her clothes.

Zhao Chengjun was surprised, he recalled what happened just now, and suddenly realized.

On the contrary, he underestimated this woman. Tang Shishi didn't know where he learned about his shyness towards Mu Furong, and noticed the inappropriateness of another woman's clothes. If the two women were allowed to enter the hall to exchange drinks, in front of so many people, they would have to make a scene. At that time, Miyagi and Prince Jing's mansion would not look good. Tang Shishi stopped him to no avail, so he forcibly destroyed the other party's skirt, leaving the other party nowhere to go.

Although the method is a bit unpopular, it has to be said that it is simple and rude, and the results are immediate.

Zhao Chengjun has not seen the wrong person for many years. Unexpectedly, this time he missed a woman. He originally thought that this was a woman who was arrogant and arrogant, clever but without great wisdom, just like those beautiful but empty vases, with all her ambitions written on her face. Who knows, he actually misunderstood her.

However, he doesn't like smart people, especially women who try to please him.

When Zhao Chengjun came to the door, he wanted to beat this woman, and by the way, he beat the people who beat the capital, and don't stretch his hand too far. Unexpectedly, the woman directly bumped into it.

Very good, Zhao Chengjun is more sure of the guess just now.

Zhao Chengjun's little goodwill instantly vanished. After he finished warning, he didn't want to take a second look and strode away. Zhao Chengjun had already made arrangements in his heart to separate this woman from Zhao Zixun. Tang Shishi has a deep scheming and is by no means good.

She couldn't let her lead Zhao Zixun out.

After Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, Tang Shishi was at a loss. King Jing told her not to be smart, but Tang Shishi also wanted to change. The question is, where is she smart

Zhao Chengjun left without turning his head, and after he was far away, other talents came around one after another.

Zhao Zixun glanced at Tang Shishi, sneered, and quickly chased after Zhao Chengjun. Tong Xiu followed behind, looked at Master Tang meaningfully, and finally smiled: "Miss Tang is very lucky, and the prince rarely praises others. The girl has made a great contribution today."

Tang Shishi was even more at a loss. King Jing's words turned out to be a compliment? After Tong Xiu finished speaking, she walked into the hall with her head down, regardless of the expressions of the people around her. After the people from the palace were far away, Madam Feng gathered around Tang Shishi and patted Tang Shishi's hand with joy.

"well done."

Tang Shishi was confused: "Huh?"

Mammy Feng couldn't bear the smile on her face. She looked at Shishi Tang as if she was looking at another piece of fine jade: "Mammy didn't hurt you in vain, she knows how to put the overall situation first and take care of your peers. That's right. , although you were selected from the same group, but when you go out, you must work together to advance and retreat together. After I leave, there will only be ten of you left to depend on each other. You must be like sisters, helping each other and supporting each other support."

As Feng mama said, she glanced at Ren Yujun angrily: "Tang Shishi helped you a lot today, and you still falsely accused her of bullying you. Why don't you come up and apologize to Tang Shishi?"

Ren Yujun's face was extremely ugly, and he was secretly pushed by someone, so he reluctantly stepped forward: "Thank you Miss Tang."

After listening to it for so long, Tang Shishi understood. It turned out that King Jing, Aunt Tongxiu, and Aunt Feng all thought that Tang Shishi just found out that Ren Yujun's dress was inappropriate, so he deliberately poured wine? Heaven can learn from her, she doesn't know anything, she just bullies people.

No wonder King Jing said that she was smart, and Tang Shishi was speechless. In fact, King Jing misunderstood her. She didn't think she was smart, and she didn't want to help Ren Yujun to cover up. She really just wanted to hurt someone.

And Feng mama also took Tang Shishi and kept telling Tang Shishi as an example to the beauties. Zhou Shunhua bowed his head to listen to the training, Ren Yujun bit his lip, Ji Xinxian looked around and bowed his head obediently.

Madam Feng reprimanded the others severely, and said with a cold face: "Look at you, and then look at Master Tang, no wonder you can't get ahead of others. All of them are idiots, and I will learn more from Master Tang in the future. , Don't be so stupid as to be used as a gunman, and in turn run on your companions. What happened today must not happen again, you know?"

The beauties bowed their heads and responded weakly, "Yes."

"Okay, let's all go away, and be more clever in the future." Mammy Feng sternly retreated. After the beauties retreated in twos and threes, Mama Feng took Tang Shishi's hand and took her to a secluded place.

Mama Feng gave Tang Shishi a good look, and her smile became more real. She patted Master Tang's hand and said, "You did a good job today."

Tang Shishi smiled guiltily, and said meekly, "It's my mother who taught me well."

"Master leads the door, cultivation is up to the individual, I'm just a servant, I'll just teach you the etiquette of sitting and lying down. No matter how long the rich and noble, how can I teach you?" Madam Feng looked at Master Tang meaningfully, and said, "Gao Gao The gate compound is different from other places, rich and noble, it depends on whether you have the courage to fight. I was worried that you would be too hasty, but looking at your actions today, one more point is stronger, one less point is weaker, especially if you are careful. Good. It turns out that I was all overthinking it before."

Tang Shishi carefully verified: "Mother, you mean..."

"You bumped into King Jing just now." Mammy Feng praised and praised sincerely, "Everyone stopped, but you continued to move forward and bumped into King Jing. After that, your performance also changed. It's especially natural, as if you accidentally bumped into it. Not only did it attract the attention of King Jing, but it was not too deliberate, and it was well done."

Tang Shishi was silent, she felt that these people might have misunderstood her.

And Feng mama, like a chicken blood, is still looking forward eagerly: "In the early years, when this prince was in the palace, he was not a good talker, and the princes of Sejong were the most precious. , No matter how high-eyed the hero is, it will be sad for the beauty pass. You bumped into King Jing, and King Jing was not angry, but

See, he's different to you. "

Tang Shishi thought that was not the same, King Jing wanted to kill her, and it was indeed the only one.

Tang Shishi smiled embarrassedly, completely ignoring why Mammy Feng had so much confidence in her, she looked too high on her. Tang Shishi didn't know many people, but he still had basic eyesight. After these few meetings, Tang Shishi could already be sure that King Jing was by no means good. How can a person who can dormant for many years, enter the capital and seize the throne of his nephew, be bewitched by the beauty sent by the palace

The day he raised his army was when these beauties perished. If he wanted to cling to King Jing, he might be in the arms of King Jing, and King Jing also needed a signboard to confuse the sight of the palace for him, so that the queen mother believed that he had no intention of rebelling. It just so happened that these beauties were sent by the Queen Mother. Who knows, in the end, whether they were monitoring King Jing, or whether King Jing used them
