It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 12

Zhao Chengjun slowly put aside the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and moved slowly. Through the mist of water, his expression was particularly alienated, even indifferent.

Master Tang looked at King Jing at the top, completely stunned. She had anticipated many situations, and she had prepared excuses one by one, except that King Jing would intervene in it.

She was also transferred to her study room. She was sent by the Empress Dowager Yao, did King Jing not shy away?

Liu Ji coughed again, and Tang Master suddenly woke up. She sighed in her heart for a long time, obviously reluctant, she still wanted to make a surprise appearance, thanked her and said, “Thank you, King Jing.”

When Master Tang paid the salute, she could feel the eyes of many people falling on her. Zhao Zixun’s, Zhou Shunhua’s, Liu Ji’s, and even Zhao Chengjun’s.

Zhao Chengjun didn’t ask her to get up. Master Tang still kept squatting. She waited for a while and heard an indifferent voice from above: “Get up.”

“Thank you, Lord.”

Master Tang went to wait in Zhao Chengjun’s study, and it was logical that Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun followed the son. This should have been a happy situation for everyone, Zhao Zixun got the candidate he expected, and Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun did not have to fight each other. However, Zhao Zixun, Zhou Shunhua and others just couldn’t be happy.

Zhao Chengjun left the froth for a long time, but he didn’t mean to say anything. He put down the tea cup and tapped his finger on the table. Zhao Zixun reacted immediately and quickly said: “Father has something to do, so I don’t dare to bother, so I will leave first.”

Zhao Chengjun nodded faintly, without stopping: “Don’t be distracted, focus on studying.”

“Children obey orders.”

Zhao Zixun retired, and the others followed suit. After leaving Zhao Chengjun’s house, Zhao Zixun’s face instantly cooled down. He glanced at Master Tang coldly and said, “Don’t play tricks, otherwise, I will never let you go.”

Master Tang kept smiling, and said respectfully: “The little girl is fortunate to serve the prince, and she will naturally do her best. How can she play tricks?”

Zhao Zixun snorted coldly, shook off his sleeves, and strode away. After Zhao Zixun left, Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun glanced at Master Tang quietly, bowed their heads and left behind Zhao Zixun.

Teacher Tang stood alone at the door, watching the other two following Zhao Zixun’s footsteps. Zhao Zixun was handsome, two women, one elegant and the other rich, standing together, handsome men and beautiful women, unspeakable youthful beauty.

The smile on Master Tang’s face gradually faded. She remembered that this was Yan’an Academy, with King Jing’s eyes everywhere. Master Tang immediately returned to her smile and returned to the house happily and emotionally.

The news that Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua were going to serve the pen and ink quickly spread, and when the other beauties heard about it, Liuyunyuan immediately fryed the pot.

The Liuyunyuan was noisy, and what situation Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would face after they returned, Master Tang could just think about it. But these have nothing to do with her, Master Tang has nothing to do with her, and she packs things in the yard peacefully. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, an unexpected guest arrived.

Master Tang raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the visitor, “Feng Qian?”

“Sister Tang.” Feng Qian was wearing plain clothes, and her chin was almost paler than her clothes. Feng Qian stood at the door, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then raised her head and smiled at Master Tang: “It’s not a coincidence that I’m here, is it convenient for Sister Tang?”

After the accident, Master Tang quickly regained his senses. She smiled and said to Feng Qian, “Convenient. I heard that you are sick recently and it is windy outside. Come in.”

Feng Qian thanked him and walked into the house gently. Master Tang led Feng Qian to sit on the Arhat bed and motioned to the maid serving tea: “I am so simple here, I am so sloppy, forgive me.”

Feng Qian’s eyes swept from the surroundings. Master Tang’s residence could not be considered large, but the three main rooms were bright and spacious, with screens, tables and chairs, multi-treasure pavilion, and canopy beds in the house. It was not rich, but it was warm enough.

Compared with the Liuyun Courtyard where nine people were squeezed, it was already a heaven and an underground.

Feng Qian covered the corners of her lips with her veil, and smiled lightly: “What are you talking about, Sister Tang, you are still rudimentary here, what shall we do? The prince is so kind to Sister Tang.”

Master Tang moved his eyebrows and said, “What are you talking about? We are all here to serve in the Jing Palace. The prince took care of me in the face of Grandma Feng, but I can’t really get over it. I and everyone are both. the same.”

“Sister Tang was right, I was the one who made a mistake.” Feng Qian smiled, “Sister Tang still sees far-reaching.”

Feng Qian seemed to be in poor health. She got sick from time to time when she was on the way. Now when she arrives at the palace, her condition is getting more and more lingering. Even though she was smiling, she was sick and weak.

Master Tang saw Feng Qian’s appearance and asked, “I live far away, and many news are inconvenient. I heard that you have had a cold in the past few days. Are you better now?”

Feng Qian bowed her head and sighed like abandoning herself: “It’s still the same, my body is like this, let’s get through the days.”

Master Tang smiled, and said, “You are still young, so you can’t say these frustrating words. It’s just a cold, you are good for health, and you will be fine in a few days.”

“Xie Tang Sister.” Feng Qian looked at Master Tang gratefully. She held Master Tang’s hand and said in a daze, “Among the ten people in this group, I admire Sister Tang the most. Sister Tang can do everything well, unlike me. Since the birth of my mother’s womb, I have been sick and troubled. I don’t have the energy to do anything. I am weak and have no ambitions. I feel very good if I live a stable life like this.”

What did these words say to her? Master Tang did not rush into the conversation, but only comforted: “You are still young, don’t be discouraged.”

Feng Qian shook her head slowly, with a lonely expression: “I know how my body is, what temperament I am, and what life I can lead. I am stupid and weak, and my temperament is not likable. I have never been able to be a good person. I don’t expect too much. I am very satisfied if I can live my life safely. I sometimes feel that Ji Xinxian is noisy, and sometimes I envy her for her vitality. Probably only a healthy person like her, who has been spoiled since childhood, dare to shout everything out. .”

Master Tang paused for a while, and asked quietly, “Ji Xinxian is making trouble in Liuyunyuan now?”

“How can I not make noise?” Feng Qian sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly. “She heard that Sister Zhou and Sister Ren are going to serve Shizi’s pen and ink, and they are going to be arguing. I’m recovering from illness, so I can’t listen to it. Only then did I brazenly hid to Sister Tang. Thank you Sister Tang for taking me in.”

Teacher Tang ignored Feng Qian’s polite remarks, she found another message.

Ji Xinxian also likes Shizi? It’s a coincidence, Shishi Tang, Zhou Shunhua, Ren Yujun, now there is another Ji Xinxian, the goal is the elder son.

Obviously this is Prince Jing’s Mansion, and Prince Jing is the one who holds the great power. Why, everyone chooses to cling to King Jing instead of King Jing?

Master Tang retreated because he saw the book and felt that the youngest son was easy to manipulate. But other people don’t know the future development, why do they do the same?

Master Tang stayed quiet and asked, “Why is Ji Xinxian making trouble in Liuyunyuan? There are only two people in the world, and the quota is full, but King Jing is still empty. If she really wants to find something to do, go and ask King Jing, maybe still have a chance.”

When Feng Qian heard this, she looked out. Master Tang noticed it and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Feng Qian motioned for Master Tang to approach, lowered her voice and said, “Sister Tang, I admire your talents. I will only tell you this. Ji Xinxian entangled the elder son but did not go to Wang Jing because she did not dare.”

“Why?”

Feng Qian quietly looked to both sides, and after making sure that there was no one around, she said in a voice: “Because King Jing denied his wife.”

Gram wife? Master Tang raised her eyebrows, she didn’t even know this. After all, she grew up in Linqing, and there is a difference between government and business, and many of the news that the daughters of officials have heard since childhood, she did not know.

Teacher Tang looked at Feng Qian, and Feng Qian’s reflection was clearly reflected in her bright eyes: “Is this true?”

Feng Qian whispered: “Naturally, I don’t have the courage to talk about these things.”

Teacher Tang was thoughtful, Feng Qian’s father was a civil servant of the Imperial Academy. If Feng Qian knew about it, it means that in the capital circle of officials and eunuchs, it is not a secret that Jing Wang’s wife was abhorrent. This can also explain why Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua came to King Jing’s Mansion and did not try King Jing at all and directly chose Zhao Zixun as the target.

Master Tang peeled a fruit for Feng Qian, put it on the plate in front of Feng Qian, and said softly: “Miss Feng, I am going to be a errand with King Jing tomorrow. King Jing is selfless. I am afraid that I am doing something wrong. It provokes King Jing’s taboo. I bother my sister to help me. I don’t know, what is going on with this wife?”

“It’s my fortunate to be able to help Sister Tang.” Feng Qian covered her lips with her kerchief, leaned closer, and whispered, “I had never heard of it when I was in Beijing. There is no queen in the Jing Palace, and it is not that King Jing has no intention of getting married. It was that King Jing had previously booked two princesses, and both died before getting married. One was the eldest daughter of the Xi family, and the other was the eldest granddaughter of General Li.”

Master Tang realized that, no wonder she said why King Jing didn’t have a regular wife, and the queen mother sent the beauties over all the way. It turned out that all the princesses died.

Master Tang asked: “Did the two princesses die of illness?”

Feng Qian shook her head. This was a royal secret after all, and Feng Qian didn’t know these details.

Teacher Tang sent Feng Qian away. That night, when I opened the book, I saw that the plot was updated.

Master Tang looked at the title of the next chapter blankly, “There is no suspicion in the school time, and I will live together for the rest of my life.”

At the end of the previous chapter, the book describes the school time of Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun in this way.

“At this time, Zhou Shunhua didn’t know that what she was about to face was the best time in her life. Many years later, when Zhou Shunhua, who had become a queen, sat alone in Kunning Palace, she would often think, if time can stay How good she should be when she was in school. She is a low-status handmaid, Zhao Zixun is a vigorous young man, and Ren Yujun is still her best sister. Her biggest daily worry is worrying about how tomorrow’s son will make things difficult for her. , Unlike now, the sisters turned against each other, the husband and wife were strangers, and even the son had a rift with her.”

Master Tang snorted and closed the book angrily. The best time as a teenager, a close sister, a handsome boy who deliberately teases his favorite girl…

Teacher Tang thought indifferently, why, she had never been treated with such care before? She had also been a childhood sweetheart with people, and she had no guesses. She had also gone to school for Qi Jingsheng, but she had never felt what it was like to be liked.

She obviously worked so hard.

Master Tang closed the book and didn’t want to read it anymore. She understands that there is no substitute for juvenile sentiment. Once she misses the opportunity of the school, even if Tang Shishi wins Zhao Zixun in the future, she will always be lower than Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun.

Master Tang simply gritted her teeth when she thought of this. Today, she could have been successful.

Master Tang held his breath to sleep, and when he sat in the study cubicle the next day, he still couldn’t relax.

Master Tang looked at the thick stack of books in front of him, then looked at Liu Ji, and asked politely: “Liu Gonggong, may I ask if this is…”

Liu Ji copied his hands and said without hesitation: “These books are precious and isolated. The prince spent a lot of time collecting them. If the girl can see these books, I don’t know how many great scholars in the Imperial Academy envy you.”

Teacher Tang gradually had an ominous premonition: “So, what does the prince let me do?”

Liu Ji smiled and said: “The prince said that since Miss Tang’s talent is the first in the harem, she must not humiliate her talent. It is best for the girl to copy these books, so that the girl has a deeper understanding of literature. After the girl finishes copying, there will be the next batch, the girl can rest assured.”

Master Tang couldn’t even keep her smile, she tried her best to pull the corners of her lips, gritted her teeth and said, “Thank you, Lord.”
