It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 111

Since seeing Master Tang, Lin Wanxi also missed Master Tang’s child. Fortunately, within a few days, the palace sent a carriage to take Lin Wanxi to the palace as a guest.

The carriage of the Jing Palace was still very low-key, but this time, no one in the Tang family dared to take it lightly. Tang Mingzhe reluctantly watched Lin Wanxi get in the car. During the period, he mentioned several times to let the Su Clan accompany Lin Wanxi, but the maid of the palace refused.

The maids were not afraid of Tang Mingzhe. Before going out, the princess specifically ordered that only Mrs. Lin was picked up, and the other cats and dogs were ignored. The maids knew that the Tang family favored their concubines and annihilated their wives. When the princess was not out of the cabinet, she had suffered a lot of irritation from them. Therefore, the maids had no good face to Tang Mingzhe and the Su family.

Tang Mingzhe regretfully watched Lin Wanxi go away, feeling sad. The more Tang Mingzhe thought about it, the more he regretted it. When Master Tang came last time, why didn’t he recognize that this was the best Nanmu? He only stared at whether the carriage was gorgeous or not, and the carriage was not too big. Seeing Master Tang’s car was unremarkable, he felt that Master Tang’s husband had no money. On the contrary, he neglected that there was no sound when the carriage was walking, and the carriage was too stable.

It turns out that the real rich people don’t care about being rich. The things that ordinary people want to show off to the whole world are just daily necessities for them. It is hateful that Tang Mingzhe understood it too late. Before that, they had already offended Master Tang. It’s alright now, Tang Mingzhe can’t even come to see his grandson.

Tang Mingzhe sighed regretfully when he thought of the handsome, handsome and estranged King Jing. It’s a pity that it’s such a good opportunity to make friends.

Lin Wanxi sat in the car for a long time before she felt the carriage drive into the mansion. Lin Wanxi sighed silently in her heart, it turned out that the Tang family was so far away from the Jing Palace.

Every inch of land in the capital city has a lot of money, and every person lives in what area.

A maid’s respectful voice came from outside: “Madam, the palace is here, please get off the bus.”

Lin Wanxi opened the curtain and got out of the car. Just as she stood still, she saw Master Tang coming out of the second door, carrying her skirt and running towards Lin Wanxi: “Mother, you are finally here!”

Lin Wanxi was shocked when she saw Master Tang’s actions, and hurriedly stopped Master Tang: “I’m right here, why are you in a hurry.”

Master Tang doesn’t care about this. She took Lin Wanxi’s arm and walked towards the courtyard with her mother: “Isn’t I happy to meet my mother, mother, come on, Gao’er has been waiting for you long ago.”

Of course Lin Wanxi also wanted to see her daughter earlier, but she heard from the Su clan that officials and eunuchs had strict rules and that Tang Shishi was married to a royal family, and she would only pay more attention to it. Lin Wanxi lowered her voice to mention Master Tang: “I heard that there are a lot of exquisiteness in the palace, and there are also special nurses. You are the princess. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you inside and out. You are a little wrong. I’m afraid others will call you.”

“What’s wrong with this?” Master Tang didn’t care at all, said, “This is not the Forbidden City. In our own house, how would I like to be, besides the prince, who else can take care of me?”

“But this is the palace after all, and there are many people besides the prince. You must guard against other people’s gossip.”

“Mother, don’t worry.” Master Tang shook Lin Wanxi’s hand vigorously, and said, “It’s hard to say in other palaces, but in our palace, the king really has the final say. No one dared to point me, please let go One thousand and ten thousand hearts are healed.”

Lin Wanxi was still skeptical. This is completely different from her past life experience. When a bride marries into her husband’s family, she must not worry about waiting for her. She slowly grows up until her age, until her children marry a wife and have children, so that she can enjoy a little bit of the blessings of a daughter-in-law. Lin Wanxi has lived for so long, and this is the only one who has no scruples like Master Tang.

Master Tang led Lin Wanxi into the main courtyard. Lin Wanxi watched all the way, and saw the surrounding cornices and arches, carved beams and painted buildings. Although the surrounding vegetation looks a little withered, it does not conceal the exquisiteness and splendor of the building. However, the most imperial style is not these courtyards, but the servants and servants who are scattered in the meantime. So many people walked up and down, there was no sound at all, everyone was fast and light, elegant like paper figures in a painting, and could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Lin Wanxi looked at her in awe. This is the place where the Royal Mansion and Master Tang lived. And Master Tang was still complaining to Lin Wanxi in a low voice: “Jinling is a small place, and the palace is more than half smaller than ours in Xiping. No one has lived here in the past ten years, and many places have declined. After a few years, we have to find someone. Come fix it.”

Lin Wanxi was surprised and couldn’t help but said: “Is this bad?”

“Compared to the one we lived in before, it’s far away.” When the main courtyard arrived, Master Tang took Lalin Wanxi into the door and said, “Don’t talk about it, let’s go and see Gaoer first. Oh, who do you see? coming?”

The maids and maids in the main courtyard lined up long ago, and they met Teacher Tang and Lin Wanxi and saluted neatly: “See the princess, see the old lady.”

Lin Wanxi suddenly saw so many people kneeling to her, she was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to help people up: “Please get up quickly.

The master didn’t say a word, how dare the maid get up. They lowered their heads and said respectfully: “The slaves and maidservants greet the old lady, the old lady is blessed.”

Master Tang has become accustomed to these scenes. She walked over everyone’s head in a long dress, and said casually: “Don’t be gifted, just get up.”

“Princess Xie, Mrs. Xie.”

Lin Wanxi walked through the cross tunnel in panic and walked into the main hall until she entered the door, her mind was dizzy. Inside the door, the nurse had already stood holding Zhao Zigao, and after seeing Master Tang, she was short and said, “Wang Hao Jin An, the old lady Wanfu.”

When Zhao Zigao saw Master Tang, he immediately barked and laughed, struggling to hold Master Tang. Master Tang stretched out his hand to take him, and smiled while disgusting: “Look at you, drooling. This is my grandmother. Say hello to my grandmother.”

Zhao Zigao has been used to seeing people since he was a child and is not afraid of life. After he saw Lin Wanxi, he stared at Lin Wanxi with black jade eyes, and suddenly grinned, and babbled in his mouth.

The maids laughed and made fun: “Wang Hao, Xiaojun Wang is calling her grandmother.”

Lin Wanxi has been untrue all the way from entering the house to the moment she is in the clouds. It was not until she saw Zhao Zigao that she was finally sure that it was true. Zhao Zigao smiled, Lin Wanxi’s heart was about to be cute, she no longer cared about the rules of the palace, and approached: “This is Gaoer?”

“Yes.” Tang Shishi said and hugged Zhao Zijiao to Lin Wanxi, “Gu’er, go to my grandmother.”

Lin Wanxi quickly caught it. She hasn’t held a child for many years, and she suddenly came into contact with a soft, lotus-rooted child. She was moved and sad, and said, “He is the same as you were when you were a child, but stronger than you.”

Master Tang sat on the Arhat bed and said with a smile: “Isn’t it? He was born with eight catties, and now he is only ten months old, he is more than twenty catties. If he grows, I can’t hold him .”

“Brother is to grow strong.” Lin Wanxi hugged Zhao Zigao and asked Master Tang some feeding questions, and Master Tang answered them one by one. The topic of parenting was trivial and true, Lin Wanxi slowly calmed down and was no longer restrained.

What about the royal nobles, in the final analysis, this is the daughter’s home.

Upon seeing this, the maidservants quietly left the Xici Hall and gave up the room to talk to the mother and daughter. When I was at the Tang house a few days ago, Master Tang could not ask. There is no one around today, so Master Tang can rest assured to inquire about Lin Wanxi’s affairs over the years: “Mother, have they treated you badly in the past few years when I have not been at home?”

“No.” Lin Wanxi looked at her daughter, understatement and took the past years, “As usual, there is nothing wrong with it. I don’t like to socialize with people, so it’s good to be quiet.”

Although Lin Wanxi said so, how could Tang Shishi not know the nature of her father. Shishi Tang was detained when he was in the Tang family. After Shishi Tang left the house, I’m afraid no one would take Lin Wanxi seriously.

Master Tang coldly asked, “Mother, did Tang Mingzhe and Su clan do something? Even if you have grievances, tell me, now I am not afraid of them.”

“How do you say you kid, that’s your father.” Lin Wanxi gently shook Zhao Zigao’s little hand and whispered, “It’s really nothing. After you were elected to the court by the imperial envoy, they were afraid that you were in the palace. I was spoiled, and didn’t dare to do anything to me. Later, Qi Jingsheng was in the exam. Your father first wanted to be closer to Qi’s family, and second, he wanted to come to Beijing to inquire about your movements, so he moved to Jinling together. Later, he didn’t wait for him to inquire. Come out, the second lady met you on the street.”

When Master Tang heard this, he felt a little relieved. She knew that Lin Wanxi must have whitewashed the peace, but as long as Tang Mingzhe and Su Clan were scrupulous and did not dare to continue to neglect Lin Wanxi, that would be enough. Teacher Tang also didn’t expect Tang Mingzhe to find out of his conscience and treat Lin Wanxi as his wife.

Lin Wanxi asked: “What about you, what have you experienced over the years and how did you get to the Jing Palace?”

Master Tang’s eyes moved slightly, and he smiled unhurriedly, and said, “It is a long story. After I entered the palace, I was favored by the queen mother. After three years of teaching in the palace, I was sent to serve King Jing. Naturally, she became Princess Jing.”

Lin Wanxi didn’t understand the grudge between King Jing and the Queen Mother. All her knowledge of the royal family came from drama. Lin Wanxi followed the description of the drama and conceived: “The queen mother should be King Jing’s mother, right? It turned out that the queen mother refers to marriage, which is good. Although the queen mother values ​​you, you should not be arrogant. You have to enter the palace frequently. Serve more around the Queen Mother.”

Lin Wanxi taught her daughter and mother-in-law how to get along based on her life experience. But how is the royal family like ordinary people? Master Tang didn’t say anything, and responded with a smile: “I took it down, mother, don’t worry.”

The mother and daughter said many things after the separation, slowly, as if the six years of time were compensated by tenderness, they are still mother and daughter dependent on each other. After learning about the past, Master Tang asked Lin Wanxi: “Mother, did Tang Mingzhe talk to you after I left with the prince?”

“You child.” Lin Wanxi glared at Master Tang, and said in disapproval, “That’s your father, how can you directly call your father’s name?”

Master Tang doesn’t have any admiration for Tang Mingzhe, but Lin Wanxi is a traditional woman who regards her husband as heaven all her life. Master Tang took care of Lin Wanxi’s emotions and reluctantly changed her words and said, “Then how did my father deal with Su Clan?”

“What can I do.” Lin Wanxi sighed slightly, “The Su clan has been with him for almost 20 years, and he has given birth to the Tang family, raising children, presiding over the family affairs, and the hearts of people are grown. How could the master really sell the Su clan? He took the right to steward the Su family and let me take care of it. I have not asked about family affairs for 20 years. I don’t even recognize people. Where can I take care of it? I said I won’t. The master was embarrassed for a while, so I let Su For the time being, I will hold the key of the right card for me, and then hand it to me when I am familiar with the staff.

Teacher Tang didn’t know what to say, Lin Wanxi really was…nothing, Lin Wanxi has always been a soft temper, and has been like this for half her life. Can you expect her to change her temperament for only six years? No matter how much she cares about her mother, Master Tang can’t live for Lin Wanxi. Since Lin Wanxi is used to not fighting or grabbing, let her go. Master Tang will just think of a way.

Master Tang thought for a while and asked, “Mother, the son of the Bai family, I remember his name is Tang Wenxuan, should I say kiss now?”

Lin Wanxi didn’t know why her daughter mentioned the Bai family, and truthfully replied: “Yes, the second young master is fourteen this year, and the eldest young master is seventeen. After the Chinese New Year, both of them should say kiss. The master is looking for the two young masters. Regarding the regular wife, it’s a pity that the Tang family just came to Jinling. She is not familiar with her life. I don’t know which girl is going to be in the cabinet. Why do you suddenly remember to ask this?”

In addition to the Su family, Tang Mingzhe had several concubine rooms. Among them, the Bai family gave birth to the second young master of the Tang family, named Tang Wenxuan, just behind the Su family’s son Tang Wenrui.

Teacher Tang thoughtfully said, “It’s okay, I just think about it. Mother, Su’s son, don’t worry about it, but if Tang Wenxuan says dear, you remember to pay attention and let Dad not make it lightly.”

Lin Wanxi didn’t know, so she should say: “Okay, I will pay attention.”

When Master Tang said so, he didn’t actually hold any hope for Lin Wanxi. With Lin Wanxi’s soft temperament, a little bit of trouble, she herself was led astray, how could Tang Wenxuan check it out. When Master Tang was planning to send Lin Wanxi back later, he sent someone to speak to the Bai family by the way. Lin Wanxi couldn’t figure it out, but Bai’s was a smart person. Presumably Bai’s could understand Master Tang’s suggestion and knew how to do it.

Lin Wanxi wasn’t the housekeeper’s material, but Tang Shishi couldn’t let the housekeeping power continue to be held in Su’s hands. Since Lin Wanxi can’t manage, find someone who can.

Su and Lin Wanxi are both old, and it is time for the Tang family to marry a terrific young grandmother to come in, and worry about the elders.

Lin Wanxi looked at the chubby Zhao Zigao who was raised on the collapsed, and she somehow remembered Tang Yanyan: “You are married and have a child, and your mother can be completely relieved. If you are young, healthy, and energetic, hurry up and save the child. It’s troublesome if it’s been procrastinated like the second young lady.”

When Master Tang heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “After Tang Yanyan married the Qi family, how have these years passed?”

“She became Mrs. Juren, it is naturally very good.” Lin Wanxi is a real person, and said honestly, “It’s a pity that I have not given birth for a few years after we have been married. Mrs. Qi and I complained several times, and she mentioned it every time. You are very sorry.”

Master Tang was silent and did not answer this. Lin Wanxi knows that Master Tang is now married, and the past events are meaningless, but after all, Qi Jingsheng was the one who saw her. The two children have not been able to cultivate a positive result for many years. After all, thinking about it, it is difficult to think of it: “This kid Jingsheng… …He is a sincere man. After you enter the palace, he often visits me at Tang’s house, for fear that I will be neglected by the lack of food and clothing. He is a good boy, but unfortunately, you don’t have enough fate.”

Master Tang lowered his head and smiled, and said: “He became a Juren as he wished, and he also married the second most favored young lady in the Tang family. What do you do to mention the past?”

Lin Wanxi watched her daughter hesitate to speak, and finally sighed and said nothing. Passionate is always annoyed by ruthlessness, and it is ruthless and touching. That’s good for Master Tang.
