It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 102

The rain outside has turned into hairy filaments, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t hold the umbrella. Master Tang signaled Du Juan to retreat, she lifted the cloak by herself and ran to Zhao Chengjun quickly: “Lord.”

Zhao Chengjun chased her when she saw her without holding an umbrella. He sullen and scolded softly, “Naughty, why don’t you bring an umbrella?”

“The umbrella is too cumbersome. The rain has stopped. It doesn’t matter if you don’t hold the umbrella.” Master Tang chased to Zhao Chengjun’s side and naturally leaned against Zhao Chengjun. Reluctantly, Zhao Chengjun stretched out his hand to block the rain from the sky.

He is strong and physically strong. It doesn’t matter if he gets caught in the rain, how can Master Tang do? Teacher Tang leaned against Zhao Chengjun and asked, “The prince is not happy?”

“Can I be happy?” Zhao Chengjun said in a bad tone, “I originally thought that although he was addicted to female sex, he still knew everything about the big things. Now it seems that I overestimate him.”

Master Tang rolled his eyes, and said softly and softly: “Zhou Shunhua has been with the elder son for three years, earlier than the elder concubine. If it weren’t for you, the person the elder son wants to marry has always been her.”

Zhao Chengjun snorted coldly and glanced down at Master Tang: “Who are you talking to?”

“Of course I’m toward the prince.” Master Tang provoke calmly, “The elder son is good at everything, but he is confused about the female sex. But the elder son will inherit the palace in the future, he is the largest person in the northwest, so what else can you worry about? If you are confused about women, you should be confused. You are not the emperor, and you are not afraid that female **** will lead your country.”

The speaker was interested, and the listener was also interested, Zhao Chengjun became more silent. If it’s just an ordinary vassal prince, the title and career have already come to an end, there is really nothing to pay attention to. But Zhao Zixun is not.

If Zhao Chengjun intends to be in the world, then Zhao Zixun must be trained according to the prince. Ordinary people dote on their concubines and destroy their wives, but if an emperor or prince is confused on a woman, it is a big trouble.

Zhao Chengjun didn’t speak any more all the way, Tang Shishi knew the point was up to the point, and then he obediently accompanied Zhao Chengjun, without mentioning his son. After returning to Yan’an Academy, Tang Shishi went to see Zhao Zigao as soon as he entered the door, and Zhao Chengjun asked Tang Shishi for a veil and water as soon as he entered.

She was caught in the rain all the way, although the rain was not heavy, but her hair was still wet. Zhao Chengjun entered the inner room and saw Master Tang holding Zhao Zigao, saying something in his mouth: “You are heartless, I’m not here all afternoon, and you don’t read me? You had a good time with the nanny. I knew I would not be back. .”

Zhao Chengjun helplessly signaled the maid-in-law to go out. He took Master Tang to sit down, hugged her hair with a veil, and slowly wiped: “You, he wants to cry as much as you want, you have to feel distressed, he doesn’t cry, you have to Be jealous. Can’t you just miss others’ order?”

Master Tang was angry and glanced at Zhao Chengjun angrily, and said: “I am so narrow-minded and short-minded. If the prince dislikes it, I will find a generous and virtuous woman.”

“Look, you are here again.” Zhao Chengjun pulled Master Tang back and said solemnly, “Don’t move, your hair is still dry.”

Master Tang’s hair was only drenched in water vapor, and it dries out quickly. On the contrary, it was Zhao Chengjun, who rarely got angry, and got old problems when he got angry. Seeing him frowning and not speaking, Master Tang asked softly, “Master, did you have a headache again?”

Zhao Chengjun gave a faint hum. Master Tang handed Zhao Zigao to Zhao Chengjun and said, “Here, go on.”

Zhao Chengjun was caught off guard by Zhao Zigao, he subconsciously hugged him and asked, “What are you doing?”

Master Tang took off his shoes, jumped on the bed, moved behind Zhao Chengjun, and pressed Zhao Chengjun’s temples with his slender hands, slowly making a circle: “Master, are you better now?”

Zhao Chengjun didn’t expect this development, so he laughed and said, “It’s much better. It’s enough for you to have this heart. Come down.”

“No, I’m a good wife and mother. The prince has a headache. Of course, I have to share the worries for the prince.” Master Tang asked on his knees while massaging, “My prince, didn’t Ying’er’s things burned? How did you find Zhou Shunhua’s The hairpin?”

Zhao Chengjun said no, but his wife was at his side. He could not help closing his eyes, feeling Master Tang’s kneading lightly and heavier: “It’s very simple, whether it’s the harem or the back house, but no one does nothing in a closed place. Greedy. The maids said they burned Ying’er’s things and handed over all her other belongings to her brother-in-law, but Ying’er was dead, but the people who dealt with them were alive, so how could it be unfamiliar. In particular, Zhou Shunhua entrusted that things used to buy people’s hearts must be valuable. In this way, the probability of being ignorant is even greater. People who are greedy for money are afraid of death.

Master Tang was stunned when he heard: “I thought I already knew the gloomy ditches behind the scenery, but I didn’t expect the prince to understand better than me. The prince was a prince when he was born, and I heard that he was very favored when he was a teenager.

Teacher Tang said casually, but Zhao Chengjun suddenly felt distressed when he heard it. Zhao Chengjun understands that it is because he has a longer life experience and has seen more changes in personnel, but how old Tang is, she understands this, it must be because he received a lot of cold reception in childhood.

The pampered child will always be unscrupulous. Only by knowing that he is not favored will he be sensible and understand the warmth and warmth of humanity.

Zhao Chengjun held down Master Tang’s hand, and suddenly asked, “Did you not be favored in the Tang family when you were a child?”

“That’s right.” Master Tang let go, clasped her hands on Zhao Chengjun’s shoulders, and said, “My mother pets me and can’t wait to respond to me, but what she can do to me is really limited. I knew it from a very young age. , I don’t have the right to choose. If there are any good things in the house, give it to the younger brother first, and then to the second sister, and finally it will be my turn.”

Zhao Chengjun felt distressed when he heard it. His childhood was different from Tang Shishi, and it could even be said to be the opposite. He has always been the priority, and for many years he has regarded this priority as normal. He has never thought about how the princes and princesses in the palace who can’t turn to good things live.

Zhao Chengjun asked: “Will there be a lot of things missing?”

“Nor.” Tang Shishi laughed. She leaned on Zhao Chengjun’s shoulders, rarely remembering what she had done when she was a child, “The Tang family is the richest man anyhow, and Tang Mingzhe will dominate his concubine and destroy his wife. The face is always the same. The Su family dare not demand my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Life is worry-free. At best, it’s just a matter of temperament.”

Life is worry-free, but there are many small details. The steward respected the fresh fruits, it was not the turn of Master Tang, the most fashionable jewelry was bought in Linqing, it was not the turn of Master Tang, and it was not the turn of Master Tang to change clothes when there was a banquet, and it was also not the turn of Master Tang.

Lin Wanxi always uses her own private money to subsidize her, trying to make up for Tang Yanyan. What Tang Yanyan has, Tang Shishi should have. But where did this kind of subsidy come over? Later, Master Tang didn’t let Lin Wanxi pay for it. Their mother and daughter were in vain in the Tang family. Everyone dared to come up and take a bite. What did Lin Wanxi spend the wronged money for?

Zhao Zigao was lying in Zhao Chengjun’s arms, his eyes wandering around, as if he could understand his mother’s words. Zhao Chengjun felt distressed and said: “You have been wronged, and your father is too dereliction of duty.”

“Any grievances have passed.” Tang Shishi held Zhao Chengjun with both hands, and suddenly changed his tone, and looked at Zhao Chengjun with a smile, “Master, after all, when I was in the middle of the boudoir, I was in my own home. Married to someone else’s house, there’s nowhere to say if you’re wronged. My father dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife, and the son looks the same. If you dote on his concubine and destroy his wife in the future, then I can’t make it, so I can only hold Zhao Zigao and return to her family Up.”

Zhao Chengjun sullen his face and shouted, “What nonsense?”

“Look, before you take a concubine, you’ve started to betray me.”

Zhao Chengjun held Zhao Zigao with one hand, while holding Master Tang with the other hand, he pulled her to his side and hugged her tightly: “No.”

Master Tang originally wanted to ask what she could not do, would she not let her return to her natal family, or would she not pet her concubine and destroy his wife? But Zhao Zigao hiccuped, Master Tang quickly patted his stomach, and when she came back, he forgot what happened just now.

Master Tang is more careful than those women. If another woman appears next to him, no matter what the reason, Master Tang and him will never be able to recover, and his family will also fall apart.

The Empress Dowager Yao and the mother concubine are in a state of power. The three brothers of Zhao Chengjun have never regarded Zhao Chengting as brothers and sisters, and it must be the same for Zhao Chengting. Zhao Chengjun hates the Queen Mother Yao, and he himself has caused pain to others.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. How can two women be accommodated in a family? If he intends to spend his life waiting for death, he just wants to be a rich and idle king. If he wants to seek higher achievements, he must stabilize his family.

He already has two sons under his knees. The eldest son is already an adult, and the youngest is icy and lovely. You don’t have to worry about no one to succeed, but you can also enjoy the happiness of family, everything is just right. Except for Zhao Zixun’s bad family, there are no regrets in other parts. Zhao Chengjun cherishes his life now, and he doesn’t want anything to ruin it.

There will be no concubines in this life, and if you seek a great cause in the future, there will be no concubines.

It is enough to have her and children.

Teacher Tang leaned on Zhao Chengjun for a while, and gradually felt that life was stable and the years were peaceful. If she can, she thinks that it will be like this for the rest of her life, which is not bad. The room gradually darkened, but no one dared to come in and hold the lamp. Zhao Chengjun thought for a while, and said to Master Tang, “When the stability is settled in the future, I will show you back to Linqing, how about?”

“Okay.” Master Tang responded with nostalgia in his tone, “This year is Shentai for seven years, and I have not returned for six years. In six years, I don’t know what the river course in Linqing will look like. But Xiping arrived. Linqing has to go on a dry road, with high mountains and long rivers, I am afraid it will not be easy to walk.”

Zhao Chengjun did not answer. She thought that what Zhao Chengjun meant was the stability in Xiping Mansion, but she did not know that Zhao Chengjun meant the stability of the world.

At that time, you can take the waterway from Jinling to Linqing, and follow the canal all the way, which is much safer than the dry road.

Zhao Chengjun said: “At that time, I will make additional arrangements so that you and your children will never be tired. By the way, after Zhao Zixun’s incident, you will clean up the palace, those who should be driven away, those who should be sold, don’t have to be sold. Talk to them about face. And Zhao Zixun’s backyard, if you can be clear, there are too many women in him.”

Master Tang smiled and looked up from Zhao Chengjun, and said: “Cleaning the palace is OK, but cleaning the backyard of the world’s son is probably not. If I really do it, the world’s son will have to hate me-for the rest of my life.”

“He dare.” Zhao Chengjun’s tone suddenly increased. He realized that Zhao Zixun was scared, and then softly said, “You can just let go and do it. If anyone has objections, let them come to me. If Zhao Zixun dares to be disrespectful to you , I threw him into the barracks to make him sober and sober.”

Master Tang smiled and nodded in response. After Zhao Chengjun and Tang Shishi talked about this, the next day, Tang Shishi rectified the internal affairs with great fanfare and cleared the palace.

Many people in the palace were used to being idle, and suddenly passed away, and complaints were everywhere. Tang Shishi didn’t care about it at all, and kept the ones that were not serious, and dismissed those who made too many mistakes, and cut the mess with a quick knife. Many people were dismissed before they could react.

Some old people were not convinced, so they went to Liu Ji and Tongxiu to avenge their grievances. Liu Ji continued to ignore it, but Tong Xiu didn’t dare to control it, so everyone in the palace saw clearly that the princess had obeyed the prince’s intention to kill—warm a hundred.

A few people made a wave of trouble, and soon everyone felt obedient, and didn’t dare to fight against Master Tang. At first they felt that Master Tang was pampered because he was pregnant with a child, but now they finally realized that Master Tang was simply pampered.

She has nothing to do with the child, she is the treasure that the prince holds in the palm of his hand.

Lu Yu has injured his body and suffered a severe blow. He has been bedridden for many days since the abortion. After receiving the news, Mrs. Lu hurriedly rushed to visit Lu Yukao. Tang Shishi did not follow, but sent Mrs. Lu to the Yinianyuan, where Haosheng talked to Lu Yukao.

Mrs. Lu solved Lu Yu’s crimes for a long time, and then came to Yan’an Yen and asked Master Tang to thank her: “Thank you, the princess, the little girl has a high spirit and arrogant temper. It can be regarded as her lesson for failing to keep the child. She did everything that day. I said, thank the princess for rushing to brave the rain and tell her-a fair word.”

Master Tang said that she was not for Lu Yu’s sake. Master Tang said: “This is my business, Mrs. Lu is not welcome. If the child is gone, everyone will feel uncomfortable. I hope Mrs. Lu will give birth to the concubine, so I want to open it sooner. Good health is the most important thing.”

“I understand.” Mrs. Lu is now more cautious facing Teacher Tang. She found that Zhao Zixun really didn’t have any pity for her daughter. Instead, she favored the woman surnamed Zhou. He even ignored Zhou Shunhua’s murder of his mistress and pretended to be pregnant. Mrs. Lu looked scared, and how old Lu Yukean was, her husband was so ruthless. Lu Yujiao was unable to give birth for several years. After he had taken care of his health, he didn’t know how many concubines and concubines should be in the backyard. If things go on like this, how can Lu Yu live the rest of his life?

Mrs. Lu was scared just thinking about it, her husband-in-law couldn’t rely on her, and she probably won’t have any more sons. The only thing that Lu Yu could rely on was the young and spoiled mother-in-law Tang Shishi. Pity the parents of the world, Mrs. Lu loves her daughter. She knows that Lu Yu had offended Master Tang before, and now she can only pay for her smile twice, and carefully confessed to Master Tang: “My daughter is spoiled in her boudoir. I don’t know how serious it is. I heard that I’ve also sent off the princess’s pet before. Where is the fox, if it is hurt, I have medicine here, lack of medicine or lack of medicine, the princess just speak. Someone in our village has raised foxes, if the princess doesn’t like it, I will take that Someone sent to serve the princess?”

Master Tang felt uncomfortable seeing the elders who were twice his age pleased him like this. Teacher Tang couldn’t help thinking, she was not by her side, and Lin Wanxi had no one to rely on. Isn’t that the same?

Master Tang feels uncomfortable when he thinks of it. For his mother’s sake, Master Tang was polite to Mrs. Lu, saying: “No, the fox has been raised by the prince on Zhuangzi. It’s close to the grassland and is lush and green, which is more suitable for fox activities. Mrs. Lu If you have a stranger in your hand, it’s better to stay by yourself.”

Mrs. Lu was sad, so she wanted to be like that, she gave up her face and gave gifts, but they didn’t accept it. Mrs. Lu really didn’t know what she could help Master Tang, pets, money, status, children Mrs. Lu could think of, Master Tang has it.

Mrs. Lu looked ashamed and said: “The princess does not care about the predecessors and is supporting the rain, but we can’t even get a decent reward. I don’t know what the princess likes. As long as the princess can help the princess, the concubine will be able to go through water and fire. “

Mrs. Lu’s words are already quite pleasing. After all, she is acting on the madam, if it is not for her daughter, why is she so low-pitched? Master Tang couldn’t help sighing, and said truthfully: “I am also a person with children, and I understand my wife’s mood. I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t have anything missing here…

As Teacher Tang said, he suddenly had a slight pause. Mrs. Lu noticed it, and hurriedly asked: “I know that the princess has no shortage of clothes and food, but it is a great wish for the princess to relieve her worries and amuse the princess. If the princess wants anything, don’t hesitate to do so. To put it bluntly, as long as we are used on the boundary of Xiping Mansion, our Lu family will die.”

In fact, there is really one thing that is inconvenient for Master Tang, and that is the Xu family. The relationship between adoptive mother and birth mother is very awkward, especially when Teacher Tang gave birth to her own son, she and Mrs. Xu are very delicate at this moment.

The ultimate goal of Master Tang was to pull Zhao Zixun off his horse and replace his son as the prince. Shaking Zhao Chengjun’s mind is not an overnight effort, and Xu’s family is well, it is a very lethal chess piece.

Mrs. Lu ran into it just then. Master Lu was Xiping’s prosecutor, and he took charge of a province’s criminal name, and it couldn’t be easier to monitor one or two people. And Zhao Zixun’s uncle, Chen Tai, is idle, especially good at gambling.

It was simply that someone would give a pillow when she was dozing off. She could use the Lu family to control the movements of the Xu family, and all she had to pay was to rely on Lu Yu a little bit better. This is completely useless business for Master Tang. Master Tang quickly made up his mind, signaled the maids to retreat, and slowly said to Mrs. Lu: “I shouldn’t have said these things to Mrs. Lu, because I shouldn’t have said these things to make people laugh, but , But it’s really troublesome.”

Mrs. Lu understood as soon as she heard it, and asked, “Why is the princess troubled? I wonder if I can help?”

“I can’t talk about troubles, just a little thing.” Master Tang covered his mouth by shaking the fan, and said softly, “Mrs. Lu should have heard of the Xu family? I heard that the Xu family misses her son very much. The maiden’s family is also not worried, and often inquires about the eldest son’s news to Mrs. Xu. It is logical that this kind of thing is a human relationship, and the mother and son are connected by blood, and we can’t stop them. But the prince has worked hard for the eldest son and really regards the eldest son as the eldest son. Raise, how do you say this?”

When talking to a smart person, you never have to say too clearly. After all, Mrs. Lu is a wife of a persecutor who has been around for many years, and she has already understood: “The princess’s words are very reasonable. What? Our master is in charge of torture and knows a lot of people who are so innocent. If there is anything, I will pass it on to the princess.”

Master Tang smiled and nodded with a fan: “Thank you Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Laulu will bother you later.”

Mrs. Lu had to say that she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief: “It is my responsibility to share the worries with the princess. Besides, this is related to Yu Kao. As a mother, I should have a lot of trouble. “

Mrs. Lu’s words are true. Lu Yu is the concubine of the eldest son. It is already very difficult to serve the grandmother of Master Tang. If there is another mother-in-law, the life will not be passed? The family they got married is the Jing Palace, not the inexplicable Xu family.

Mrs. Lu wanted to solve the hidden dangers of the Xu family and cut off the contacts between Zhao Zixun and the Xu family.

After Mrs. Lu had a conversation with Teacher Tang, they let go of each other-a serious worry. Tang Shishi had an extra eyeliner, and she was very happy. However, not long after she was relaxed this time, she was startled by the ambitions.

“What, Queen Mother Yao made an order to let us go to the capital to celebrate the New Year?”
