It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 3

Zhou Shunhua felt guilty after seeing Master Tang not speaking for a long time. After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, and she was far inferior to the Empress Dowager Yao, Mother Feng and the others.

Tang Shishi was able to roll in the hands of the Queen Mother Yao, and came out unscathed, and also won the title of beauty leader. It can be seen that Tang Shishi has a good sense of words and colors. Looking at Zhou Shunhua’s subtle expression changes, Master Tang became more certain of his guess.

There are people here. Moreover, Zhou Shunhua knew.

She was covering the assassin.

Based on the book and time, Master Tang guessed that Zhou Shunhua should have just arranged other people, and after returning to his room, because he was thirsty for talking too much, he wanted to pour a cup of tea to moisturize his throat. As a result, through the reflection of the tea, I saw someone on the beam of the room.

Before Tang Shishi entered the door, Zhou Shunhua was facing her back, and as soon as she saw Tang Shishi he immediately drank the water. Zhou Shunhua’s intention was to cover up, but as everyone knows, it was here that exposed her.

When the door of the room is suddenly pushed open, whose first reaction is to drink the water in the cup? The response of normal people should be to put water on the table.

But Zhou Shunhua didn’t. She saved others by herself, mostly because she was worried that Master Tang would see the people on the beams of the room through the reflection of the tea.

When Zhou Shunhua was nervous, Master Tang suddenly smiled. Master Tang held his parcel, carried his skirt and entered the door, and said to Zhou Shunhua curiously: “Sister Zhou, did you know that many officers and soldiers came in outside, seeming to be arresting the assassin.”

Zhou Shunhua’s fingers clenched unconsciously. She saw the package in Master Tang’s arms, and she changed the subject and asked, “Aren’t you going to Mother Feng’s place, why are you back?”

“I heard someone calling an assassin on the road. I thought it would be too dangerous for Sister Zhou to stay in the house alone, so I wanted to come back and be a company with my sister.” Master Tang said that he was unconscious, and walked into the room carelessly, Zhou Shunhua squeezed. Khan, quickly stopped Master Tang.

Master Tang saw Zhou Shunhua’s movements and slowly raised his eyes, staring at Zhou Shunhua motionlessly with his bright eyes. Zhou Shunhua retracted his hand in embarrassment, coughed lowly, and said, “I’m fine by myself. Madam Feng is looking for you as a grace, so many people can’t wait for it. Don’t delay, go ahead.”

Teacher Tang took a new porcelain cup with a smile, picked up the teapot, and poured water into the cup slowly: “Although grace is good, how can it be as deep as our sisters. I am more worried about Sister Zhou, for the sake of Sister Feng. No matter if you don’t go. Sister Zhou, we are the beauties sent from the capital anyway. The officers and soldiers will break into the post to hunt down the empress dowager. You say, what is the origin of this assassin?”

Zhou Shunhua kept her face tight and said coldly, “How did I know this.”

A cup of water poured, the candlelight shook, and the reflected tea was shattered and sparkling. No one appeared in the reflection of the tea.

Zhou Shunhua breathed a sigh of relief silently. She thought that her movements were very subtle, but Master Tang had been paying attention to her, and she could see it clearly. Master Tang became more sure that that person was on the beam above their heads.

Master Tang poured water and fiddled around, but refused to drink it. Zhou Shunhua was annoyed by her actions, and said angrily: “You are sneaky, what do you want to do?”

“This water is not clean, I will wash a cup.” Master Tang said, splashing the water on the ground with a squeak. The ground is covered with black bricks, and the water slowly seeps into the ground. Zhou Shunhua looked at Tang Shishi tossing coldly, his eyes seemed to say, I see what you have to do.

Master Tang really did, she was planning to find someone to clean up the house because of the “unclean water” attack. Just as she was about to call someone, there was a series of rapid footsteps outside the house. This habit of walking comes from the court at first.

Soon, the visitor stopped at the door and knocked on the door: “Miss Zhou, is Miss Tang here?”

It’s Mother Feng’s person. Teacher Tang immediately raised his voice and responded: “I am here. Is it Mother Feng looking for me?”

Teacher Tang said to open the door. Outside the door, Aunt Sulan next to Madam Feng was standing behind the threshold. She saw Master Tang standing all-tailed and quietly relieved. Afterwards, Aunt Sulan said strangely: “Miss Tang, Mother asked you to go to her house. Why have you not been here for so long? Someone broke in tonight. Mother thought you were on the road.”

Master Tang smiled and said shyly: “I was already out, but I heard someone calling an assassin on the road. I was worried that Sister Zhou would be in danger in the house alone, so I came back to accompany Sister Zhou.”

Zhou Shunhua also walked to the door, heard the words, and immediately answered: “Everything is fine here. After a while, I will go to the next room to sleep with Yujun and the others. The five of us will look after each other and there will be no accidents. It is Tang girl. , Since the mother has something to say to Miss Tang, then go quickly, I dare not delay her time.”

Zhou Shunhua’s words cut off the reason Tang Shishi wanted to stay, and finally moved out of Madam Feng to suppress her. Master Tang really has nothing to say, but Master Tang’s goal has been achieved, and there is no need to stay in the house and squat. Master Tang smiled and said, “Since Sister Zhou is safe, I can rest assured. With Aunt Lao Sulan, let’s go now.”

Master Tang went back to the house and picked up the package, and followed Aunt Sulan in the other direction. When Master Tang took the package, his eyes swept across the shadows.

Master Tang followed Sulan on the corridor. At this moment, the doors and windows around him were tightly closed, and the beauties were shaking with fright. How dare you go outside to check. Teacher Tang walked on the road and asked Sulan, “Auntie, I heard that an assassin has come in. Mother Feng and aunt are the celebrities in front of the empress dowager. Who is so bold that they dare to disturb the mother?”

Master Tang silently praised Madam Feng and Sulan, and Sulan pressed her heart, and her tone of speech became much better: “People who are not willing to reveal their identity, but those who dare to be so arrogant in the station are probably the only ones Their home.”

Master Tang pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth: “Auntie said, Prince Jing’s Mansion?”

Upon hearing these three words, Sulan sullen her face and said: “The misfortune comes from the mouth, you shouldn’t inquire about it, don’t inquire.”

“Yes.” Tang Shishi lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly. She looked submissive, but her eyes wandered around, noticing someone outside. Across the half-opened door, Master Tang saw five or six sturdy men dressed up in the courtyard standing in the courtyard, with Madam Feng standing opposite each other. The two sides stood on each side, seeming to be arguing about something.

Master Tang wanted to hear what they were talking about, deliberately slowed down, and pointed out the door with a look of surprise: “Auntie, look, isn’t that Sister Feng?”

Sulan’s footsteps stopped, and she was startled. Master Tang had already left the team quickly, ran to the door, and called out timidly: “Mother.”

Master Tang herself was disgusted with goose bumps, but for the sake of personality, she still stood by the door innocent and panic, looking blankly at Grandma Feng: “Grandma, why are you here? Who are these people?”

Teacher Tang said to be vigilant, as if as long as the group of brawny men moved a little, she would rush up to block the sword and the arrow for Mother Feng.

Sulan secretly said badly, and quickly stepped forward to pull Master Tang away. However, it was too late. Mother Feng and the group of brawny men had already seen Master Tang, and the man headed by him looked up and down at Master Tang with a bad look.

Although this man is a martial artist, but his brain is not stupid, he immediately realized that this is the story of the beauty sent by the Queen Mother, an imposing spy. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager and the little emperor were quite willing to make a lot of money, but chose a stunning beauty.

However, no matter how beautiful people are, once they have a relationship with the Queen Mother Yao, they are a skeleton in his eyes. The brawny man retracted his gaze and dashed: “The government office, don’t disturb people waiting. Call out all of you immediately, and we will search one by one.”

Sister Feng of course refused. She coldly said, “Presumptuously, I am a court lady. I have been the queen mother’s will to **** the beauties to Jingdi to serve King Jing and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. The beauties of Jing Palace. , How can you reckless guys collide?”

Each of those men sneered, and the leader sneered and said: “I don’t care who you are, you must abide by King Jing’s rules on the boundary of King Jing’s Mansion. Don’t talk nonsense, I will be ordered to catch the important thing. Characters, if you chirp again and let people go, I wouldn’t consider you to be polite because you are female relatives.”

Madam Feng had never received this kind of treatment before, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves. After all, this was not the Forbidden City, and her grandma couldn’t shake her momentum. Sister Feng held back her anger, and asked: “It’s okay to let the female family members come out, but you have to clarify what your identities are and who are the ones to be arrested.”

The brawny man sneered and said, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Seeing that the more they talked, the more they died, the scene almost fell into a dead end. At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up outside, and horse hooves sounded everywhere, quickly surrounding the station in a circle.

The strong man headed quickly cursed “It’s awful”, then turned around and walked quickly to the door. He was only halfway there, when the gate of the post was pushed open, and the bright flames suddenly reflected half of the courtyard.

A few strong men changed their tough style, bowed their heads and clasped their fists, and knelt down at the door: “Master.”

The people inside and outside the yard were stunned by the accident, the fire was bright, and Master Tang subconsciously reached out to cover his eyes. Through the dim fingers, Master Tang saw a man walking into the courtyard stepping on the firelight. He was wearing a red cloak, black clothes, and hard soap leather boots under his feet.

There were obviously many people standing at this moment, but there was silence inside and outside, only the crackling sound of torches could be heard. The man is extremely tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. Standing in front of a crowd, he has a strong sense of presence that cannot be ignored.

Just now the man bit his head and said: “Subordinates, see the master. Master, why are you here?”

The man’s brows were indifferent, and the flames swayed on his face, bright and dark, setting off his mood and anger. He spoke lightly and asked: “Haven’t found it yet?”

The strong man kneeling on the ground lowered his head: “The subordinate is incompetent.”

Shishi Tang and Sulan stood by the side door, just covered by the shadow. Sulan originally wanted to take Master Tang to leave, but at this moment she had completely forgotten her movements and seemed to be shocked. Master Tang slowly returned to his senses, no wonder he said in his heart.

It is no wonder that the heroine fights the maidservant, the side concubine, the queen, and the newcomer for him, all the way from the palace to the palace, and she has no regrets and regrets all her life. It turned out that this is the male lead Zhao Zixun.

No wonder so many women went on and succeeded, and as the emperor, they looked pretty good.

The man didn’t show any fluctuations in his expression when he heard the brawny’s words, but everyone inside and outside tightened his body, and he could see that they were very nervous. The man glanced across the courtyard and said indifferently: “Then continue to look for it. Even if you demolish this place, dig three feet in the ground, you must also catch him back.”

The man knew that the Lord was angry when he heard it. The last time the master was angry, it was the Huns who attacked the border town and burned the granary.

The man took the courage and said: “The master calms down. There are still female relatives from the palace in the post, which is inconvenient. Besides, people may not be here…”

When Master Tang heard this, he said in his heart that this is not the opportunity God has prepared for her. The heavens did not take it, and the sky struck thunder. Master Tang immediately took a step forward, kneeled on the edge of the shadow, and said loudly, “My son, the little girl knows where the assassin is.”

No one expected Grandma Feng, Sulan, including the brawny, that Master Tang would run out. They were completely stunned. The man had known that there was someone at the side door, but he had been too lazy to pay attention to it. Now, he finally turned his attention.

He was overjoyed and said slowly: “Oh? What do you know?”

“Just now, the little girl went back to the room to pick up something, and accidentally found that there was someone hidden inside.” As he said, Master Tang stretched out his arm to point in the direction of the house, as if he was afraid that someone would not know which room she lived in, “That one.”

Without the need for the man to say, the subordinates behind him immediately rushed in, and walked toward the room Tang Shishi pointed out in an orderly manner. Soon, a man in black jumped out of the room of Zhou Shunhua and Master Tang, and ran into the night without looking back. When the soldiers saw the people, they swarmed more and more, and a group of torches quickly chased in that direction.

The brawny man kneeling on the ground was in a cold sweat. He didn’t dare to wipe his sweat, let alone get up. He squatted and said: “The master is calm, the son is young and ignorant, please forgive me.”

Master Tang waited beautifully for the male protagonist to admire him. The first time she and the male protagonist met was so beautiful and righteous, he must have been impressed by her, and his memory is still fresh. Master Tang was thinking about how to “inadvertently” reveal his name to the hero, when he suddenly heard the strong man say “the son of the world”, he was taken aback.

The son is not sensible? Isn’t this man the eldest son Zhao Zixun?

When Teacher Tang was astonished, Grandma Feng finally came back to her senses. She stepped forward two steps, and bowed the court ceremony to the incoming person in a correct manner: “Old slave, see Your Highness. After years, I wonder if your Highness will be good these years?”

When the man saw Mother Feng, his mouth showed a very faint smile, but there was no emotion in his eyes: “It turned out to be Mother Feng. It has been a long time. There is a long time for the mother. I have missed the queen mother for a long time. Can the queen mother be healthy?”

“The empress dowager’s phoenix body is healthy, your Royal Highness is interested.”

Grandma Feng and the man exchanged indifferent greetings. Master Tang became more confused as she listened. She couldn’t help but quietly ask Sulan next to him: “Aunt Sulan, why did the grandma call him His Royal Highness? Can the elder son be called His Royal Highness?”

The Tang family was the richest man in Linqing. Tang Shishi once did not understand the official and **** style, but after three years in the palace, she learned a lot of skills, including address etiquette. The title is big or small, if you make a wrong word, you may pass away with a smile, or you may be deceived by yourself.

That’s why Tang Shi studied very seriously. In her impression, only princes and princes can be called her Royal Highness, but the elder son cannot.

Sulan hurriedly twisted Master Tang’s arm, and even Grandma Feng scolded, “Master Tang, don’t be rude.”

However, the man had already heard it. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Master Tang unclearly, “Who is this?”

Neither Madam Feng nor Sulan answered the conversation. Master Tang vaguely felt that the matter was beyond her control. She barely supported the table and said, “The little girl Master Tang, on the order of the Queen Mother, come to serve in the Jing Palace.”

After hearing this, the man said nothing, turned and strode out. The brawny men didn’t dare to talk a lot, and quickly got up, followed the man and left.

They came suddenly, and they left suddenly, like a gust of wind, whistling and disappearing. Master Tang listened to the sound of horses’ hoofs, slowly stood up, and asked in a low voice: “Mother, is that person just now, Prince Jing?”

“What kind of son!” Grandma Feng glared at Teacher Tang angrily, and said, “That’s King Jing.”

Master Tang was taken aback and covered his mouth in surprise: “King Jing?”

Teacher Tang was completely sluggish. She thought this was the hero, so she ventured out to report the assassin. If this is King Jing, the one in the house…

That’s the real hero, Zhao Zixun!
