It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 10
“On the fourth day of July in the fifth year of Shentai, Madam Feng left from the Jing Palace.”
Master Tang was standing at the second door, and behind her were two rows of beauties. Everyone kept silent and watched Mother Feng step onto the carriage.
“Zhou Shunhua stood in the crowd and silently watched the palace envoy leave. Her dress was not outstanding today. Standing among the beauties, she was immediately submerged. Madam Feng didn’t look at her when she left, as if she had completely forgotten her. People are the same, and Zhou Shunhua doesn’t want to be noticed. When Madam Feng got on the bus, she looked back and saw that the spot was the teacher Tang in the front.”
Tang Shishi noticed Madam Feng’s sight and bowed his head and blessed his body: “Send Madam respectfully.”
“Mother Feng finally got in the car. After the curtain was lowered, she didn’t move. The carriage moved slowly, and the carriage rolled on the ground, making a faint creak. Madam Feng was gone. No matter how tit-for-tat the ten beauties were usually, At this moment, there is a look of sadness. Zhou Shunhua also seems to be low. Zhou Shunhua at this moment does not know that her story with these nine women has just begun. She has been fighting with them for 20 years.”
Mother Feng’s carriage drove out of the side door, turned a corner, and soon disappeared. The footman and the guard followed closely, holding a flag that symbolized the court, and after a while, even the flag was not seen.
The ten of them stood there for a long time, Tang Shishi stood in the forefront, and the morning wind blew her, slowly blowing her skirts. Tongxiu waited for a while, and said slowly, “Little masters, it’s time to return.”
The girls should have turned around. Master Tang walked at the end, she took two steps and looked back again.
The side door of Prince Jing’s Mansion closed in front of her, and when the heavy wooden door closed, there was a muffled noise. Master Tang understood that her whole life was also locked in this palace.
From then on, whether she lived or died, whether she was sad or proud, whether she rose upright or died quietly, was firmly bound to this mansion and the people in this mansion. If you succeed, you will have a phoenix crown, and if you export, you will have a decree.
Seeing Master Tang stopped, the maid had to wait beside her. Gradually someone looked back, and the maid could not help but reminded softly: “Miss Tang.”
Master Tang retracted his gaze, without any hesitation, and walked firmly in his steps: “A new day has begun, let’s go.”
Grandma Feng and the imperial envoys finally left, and from then on, Xiping is king Jing’s world again. Master Tang originally thought that King Jing would breathe a sigh of relief, and then he should have something to do with them. Master Tang made preparations, but after a few days passed, everything was calm.
Not only is she quiet here, but the Liuyun Courtyard of the other nine beauties is also quiet as ever.
If it hadn’t been for Master Tang to hold the plot, she would have suspected that she was isolated by nine other people. In the middle of the night, Tang Shishi hid under the window to read. Since Feng Feng left, there have been very few newly unlocked plots. Today, after finally updating a chapter, Tang Shishi eagerly opened it and found that it was trivial.
Nine women live together, and there are still nine pretty and spoiled women. It is completely imaginable how much friction they can have in a yard.
This chapter talks about Ji Xinxian’s conflict with Ren Yujun because of who used hot water first, and finally Zhou Shunhua gave up his water and settled the dispute. After that, everyone praised Zhou Shunhua for general and reasonableness. Master Tang didn’t bother to look at it and skipped it directly.
Then it was gone.
Master Tang turned these pages over and over again, and once again confirmed that King Jing really didn’t want to see them.
Not only is she quiet here, but there is no new plot in the book, which shows that King Jing has made up his mind to stock them. Circle them together for food and drink, but they don’t need to do anything, in a posture of letting them live to death. If Master Tang is a person with no ambitions, she might like this life of eating and waiting for death, but Master Tang knows that if she is greedy for peace now, she should cry in a few years.
The other nine women thought the same way. Every one of them is unique in being picked by the Queen Mother Yao. If you believe that they will live in peace and happiness, you would underestimate the charm of the court.
They spent three years in a place like the Forbidden City, and they have seen how the people at the top of the royal power live, how can they still live in humbleness? The nobles in the palace are not necessarily taller than them. Why can they not be allowed by others?
There is no effective information for the new plot. Tang Shishi was quite regretful. She continued to turn back and saw the title of the next chapter.
“Please Antoucheng take the lead and follow Shi Shizi to the school.”
What, go to school?
Master Tang was startled. If she understood correctly, the title should be saying, Zhou Shunhua will accompany the son to the school, right? Master Tang will not be sleepy right away. If you can go to school with your elder son, doesn’t it mean that they will stay together every day from morning to night?
Teacher Tang was suddenly excited, she liked this development, well, she decided to grab it.
It’s a pity that I can only see the title, but not the body content. Master Tang stared at the line for a long time, carefully pondering, and surrendering to take the lead, what exactly is the surrender method?
Master Tang couldn’t figure it out, and quickly gave up. It doesn’t matter, there is another keyword “please peace”. Master Tang decided to go to the main courtyard every morning to please peace from tomorrow. She didn’t believe it, so that it would not be able to block the female host.
The next day, Tang Shishi woke up early, dressed up and went to wait outside Jingwang’s courtyard. Although Tang Shishi did not grow up in the circle of officials, but he had some understanding of the lives of these nobles. The higher the level, the more rule-based, the twilight and twilight is a very important item.
Please, please give the most respected person, Zhou Shunhua, a lady who grew up in a government office, can’t make mistakes in this kind of thing. Zhou Shunhua must be pretending to be good at King Jing’s place, and happened to run into the elder son who had also come to please peace. The two of them didn’t know how to look right, so Zhou Shunhua was naturally called by the elder son to serve the pen and ink.
Master Tang felt that he had seen through the intentions of the heroine, and was quite content. The residence of King Jing is the main courtyard of the palace, named Yan’an courtyard, which occupies a vast area and is magnificent and splendid. Master Tang stood under the steps, waiting motionlessly. The guard on duty at the door glanced at her several times, and finally couldn’t help it: “Miss Tang, you came to see the prince early in the morning. Is there anything wrong?”
Master Tang said filially: “The little girl is here to greet the prince.”
Please Ann? The guard is incredible. Teacher Tang is outstanding in appearance, and now the palace is up and down, no one does not recognize Miss Tang, even the guards on duty have heard of it. Seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation. However, the Tang girl didn’t seem to have a good brain.
The guard said tactfully: “Miss Tang is interested, but the prince doesn’t like the noise, especially the red tape, please come back, please.”
“How can this be done?” Tang Shishi vetoed it, with a look of justice, “It is etiquette to calm down in the morning and twilight. It is a matter of the prince to see me or not, but my heart cannot be lacking.”
Okay, the guard has nothing to say. He was kind enough to say a few words, but he didn’t expect Master Tang to give up on the south wall just like he ate the weights. Since Master Tang likes it, let her stand slowly in the dew.
After Zhao Chengjun woke up, he went to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts as usual. But today, the people who are waiting on the table are daunting and hesitant to talk.
Zhao Chengjun glanced at Liu Ji and asked faintly: “What’s the matter?”
Liu Ji is an old man who has been with Zhao Chengjun for more than ten years. When Zhao Chengjun was still a prince, Liu Ji served by Zhao Chengjun’s side. Liu Ji smirked, looked at Zhao Chengjun’s face carefully, and said, “Master, someone outside wants to greet you.”
“Please peace?” Zhao Chengjun frowned. He was impatient and wasting time. This kind of gift has always been able to save or save. It took Zhao Zixun to ask for peace only once in ten days. Today is not a ten-day day, why would anyone come to greet him?
Zhao Chengjun asked: “Who?”
“That girl Tang.”
Zhao Chengjun was really surprised this time. He stopped for a long time and asked inconceivably: “Tang Shishi?”
“is her.”
Zhao Chengjun was silent, Liu Ji lowered his head and stared at the brick under his feet intently. After a while, Zhao Chengjun chuckled, his voice turned cold: “Then let her wait.”
Master Tang thought he would have to wait a long time, but he stood there for a while before the door of Yan’an Academy opened. Master Tang caught a glimpse of the figure inside, and immediately bowed his knees: “See the prince, please greet the prince.”
Zhao Chengjun walked past blankly as if he hadn’t seen anyone standing at the door. Master Tang stood by the side of the road, obediently maintaining his blessed body movements, King Jing’s clothes flicked past, and behind him, hula la followed a group of people.
Everyone quietly followed King Jing and left, no one spoke, but everyone could not help quietly glancing at Master Tang from the corner of their eyes as they passed by.
The beauty sent from the capital waited for the prince outside early in the morning, and kept saying that he would greet the prince. What exactly is going on?
Everyone is curious, but no one dares to ask. Master Tang turned a blind eye to many gazes, and she was not annoyed if she was ignored. After everyone had left, she stood up like a okay person.
Then continue to guard at the door.
This process lasted for five days, and Master Tang came every day before dawn and stood three poles in the sun before leaving. The depth of his love and the steadfastness of his thoughts made his guards unbearable even when he saw it. On this day, King Jing ignored Teacher Tang as usual. Master Tang stood by herself. She thought it was another day of doing nothing. She did not expect that at the time of the hour, Master Tang suddenly heard someone calling her: “Master Tang?”
Master Tang turned his head and his eyes suddenly brightened. Zhou Shunhua frowned when she saw that it was really her.
Zhou Shunhua looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Why are you here?”
Master Tang knew that he had made the right bet, and the plot really happened! Master Tang hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and said weakly: “I’m here to greet the prince.”
Please Ann? Both Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun looked strange at this moment. This kind of thing is not surprising to others, but when it comes out of Tang Master’s mouth, there is a kind of weird that can’t be said.
Master Tang quietly swept the two beautiful women in front of him through his actions. Zhou Shunhua’s clothes were elegant and clean, but the details were everywhere, and Ren Yujun also adjusted his outfits. Obviously, both of them came prepared.
Master Tang smiled and suddenly asked, “Then what are you doing here?”
The two were silent for a while, and then Zhou Shunhua said as if nothing had happened: “We have been in the mansion for a month, and Aunt Tongxiu has arranged our lives very well, but we have not done anything for the mansion. My sister Ren and I are ashamed. Endlessly, come today and want to see if there is anything we can do so that we can do our best.”
Master Tang didn’t even want to say: “No, don’t be affectionate, go back.”
Ren Yujun has been patient. Hearing this, he couldn’t help it anymore: “Master Tang, you don’t have to make an inch of it…”
“What are you doing?”
The three women were all startled, and immediately put away their quarrels, turned and saluted: “The son of Jinan.”
Zhao Zixun came to greet Zhao Chengjun today. He had just approached, and he felt that the people at the door were a bit familiar. After approaching, it was her.
Although Zhao Zixun said “you”, his gaze stayed directly on Master Tang. Zhao Zixun ignored Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun, stopped in front of Master Tang, frowned and said, “What are you doing here, father?”
Master Tang has rehearsed countless times a long time ago. She lowered her head and adjusted her angle slightly, just to reveal the best side of her profile: “Return to the son, the little girl is here to greet the prince.”
After Master Tang finished speaking, he suddenly found that the air was quiet. She lowered her eyes and couldn’t see the situation outside, so Tang Master didn’t know, so she quietly glanced forward from the corner of her eyes.
In the drooping field of vision, a sound of footsteps gradually approached, and with his movements, the people around him became quieter obviously. Zhao Zixun stepped back and said, “Father.”
Zhao Chengjun stopped in front of the steps, his eyes swept across Tang Shishi and Zhao Zixun, his face became colder and colder: “You are really lively here.”
