It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 4
Master Tang was stunned for a while. She thought this was the male lead, but in the end this was the male lead’s father? In other words, she just exposed the male lead’s hiding place in front of everyone in the post and the palace, so that everyone saw that the male lead saw his father and ran away griefly like a cat saw a tiger.
Oh my god.
Teacher Tang was at a loss in surprise. Why is the male lead’s father so young and handsome? Why does the male lead’s father look more powerful than the male lead? Moreover, the book clearly stated that “Frightened Ye Chu met the son, Mei Jiao’e gradually fell in love.” When Master Tang saw this title, the first reaction was that the son led people to chase the fugitive, and the heroine performed meritorious services, which aroused the appreciation of the son.
For this reason, Tang Shishi was very happy to report the assassin, but in the end, the world’s son turned out to be the one who hid?
Master Tang was shocked. She was still laughing at Zhou Shunhua’s stupidity. An assassin of unknown origin was hiding in Zhou Shunhua’s house. Zhou Shunhua didn’t rush to find someone, but even covered the assassin. The assassin was a man on the one hand, and a fugitive on the other, it was a pitfall to help him.
So, is this why Zhou Shunhua is the heroine, and she is the heroine? Master Tang thought numbly, she reported the son in public, causing him to run away in embarrassment. In the future, would Teacher Tang still have a chance to get the favor of the son?
I dare not think about it. She stood in the shadows and remained silent for a long time. Mother Feng finished the rest of the arrangements. When she turned her head to see Master Tang still standing in a daze, she scolded: “What are you doing, don’t you go back soon.”
Master Tang saluted and responded in a low voice: “Yes.”
Teacher Tang followed Aunt Sulan to Grandma Feng’s house, and was bored along the way, so there was no such thing as a coquettish enthusiasm before. Sulan thought Master Tang was frightened, and after entering the room, she said to Master Tang: “You don’t have to be afraid, you were originally sent to serve King Jing… Today, you showed your face in front of King Jing. Maybe that’s a good thing.”
Master Tang smiled stiffly, and reluctantly said: “Yes.”
If Tang Shishi’s goal is King Jing, then although this is embarrassing today, there may not be no chance to change. However, the man she wants to fight for is the son of the world.
After being killed and fleeing in embarrassment, which man can still have a good impression of the whistleblower? It turned out that the real storyline was not Zhou Shunhua’s report and meritorious service, on the contrary, it was covering the assassin. Zhou Shunhua used her identity as a woman to cover the assassin. After the chaser left, the son jumped off the beam and praised the brave and witty woman. Later, they met again in the palace. The son recognized Zhou Shunhua and spoke to him. It’s a matter of course that he loves more.
Master Tang covered his eyes, feeling desperate. It turns out that she is really a vicious female partner, but learning that the plot didn’t make her turn the tide and succeeded in whitewashing, it made her even more vicious.
Seeing that Master Tang couldn’t lift the spirit, Sulan didn’t say much, and left quietly. Master Tang held the package and sat there for a while, then regained his spirits.
It’s a matter of man-made things, and the future will be long. Thinking about it, today, the world will remember her completely. Compared to other beauties with vague faces, Tang Shishi had a name in front of the male lead anyway. In the inner house of the harem, it is not the notoriety that is afraid, but the lack of reputation.
It’s better to be hated than to be forgotten. Master Tang rallied again. After all, she was holding the plot development in her hand. Master Tang didn’t believe it. She could guess wrong one time, and again and again.
At this time, there was a noise from the door, and Mother Feng came back. Master Tang immediately stood up, lowered his eyebrows and greeted Grandma Feng, “Hello, Grandma.”
Grandma Feng was wearing heavy clothes, Master Tang was very eye-catching, and stepped forward to serve Grandma Feng, take off her coat and put on a light homely skirt. Sister Feng sat on the couch, Master Tang took a beauty hammer from the side and gently knocked her leg on her.
Mother Feng still had a rigid and serious face, but she sighed comfortably in her heart. She has been up and down in the deep palace for a lifetime. Although outsiders respectfully call her Grandma Feng, in the final analysis, she is still serving people. Mother Feng has been serving for so many years, and she has accumulated a lot of problems. Joint pain during rainy days is one of them.
It has been raining recently, and Mother Feng has been on the road for a whole day. She has been standing outside for so long, and her legs have long been unable to support her.
Master Tang, the scheming and calculations are all revealed in the light, but she has to admit that she is quick to react, can talk, is willing to lower her body, and often allows people to press into the heart. The Empress Dowager Yao and Grandma Feng knew that Tang Shishi was very ambitious, but they still chose to promote Tang Shishi and praise her as the first beauty.
Compared with Zhou Shunhua’s kind of arrogant and dependable high school girl, Tang Shishi is undoubtedly much easier to manipulate. If you change to Zhou Shunhua, the Queen Mother Yao is still not at ease. Only a person like Teacher Tang can see through at a glance, the Queen Mother can safely throw her at the Jing Palace.
For example, today, if Master Tang did such an extraordinary thing, if it were replaced by someone else, Grandma Feng would definitely be suspicious. But this person was Master Tang, and Grandma Feng felt that everything was under control, and she could even guess what Master Tang was thinking.
Sister Feng asked slowly: “Why did you make your own claim tonight and rushed out to talk to King Jing?”
Master Tang knew that this was his biggest crisis, and it was also his biggest opportunity. As long as this hurdle is passed, Mother Feng and Queen Mother Yao will truly trust her and give her the power to monitor Prince Jing’s Mansion. Master Tang is not afraid of death herself, but she can’t help but care about her mother who is far away in Linqing.
Master Tang lowered his head, revealing a slender white neck, showing a suitable meekness and fear: “Mother, forgive me. I mistakenly thought that the man who led the army was the son of the world, and wanted to do something in front of the son of the world, so I was rash. think…”
The flattery slapped the horse’s leg and bumped into the son’s father, King Jing.
It was the same as expected by Mother Feng. Mother Feng had everything under control on her face. Such a beautiful, sharp, ambitious but not very smart woman was too suitable for control. The most important thing for a qualified chess piece is to let the upper player use it at ease.
Sister Feng said unhurriedly: “Get up. You made a big mistake today, but I think you are the first offender. Forgive you this time.”
Teacher Tang lowered his head and said, “Thank you, Sister.” Then he stood up slowly, still bowing his head to serve on the side, and didn’t dare to look around. Teacher Tang knew that her assessment had not passed.
Madam Feng asked: “Do you know where you went wrong?”
Teacher Tang said in a low voice: “If you shouldn’t disobey Mother, I rushed out.”
Madam Feng smiled and shook her head: “No. You are not the same as the old man. The old man serves the master for life, and you, nominally a court lady, are actually the master.”
Master Tang lifted her skirt and knelt down: “The little girl dare not.”
Madam Feng looked down for a while, and held Master Tang’s arm, and said, “Get up. After entering the fief of King Jing, your identity will be different. In the future, you don’t have to kneel to anyone except King Jing. Uncertain, after a few years, the old man will also salute when he sees you.”
Master Tang understands that this is a temptation, and if she really complies, it will be over. Teacher Tang refused to get up, and said with some trepidation: “What are you talking about? How dare the little girl touch this kind of thought…”
Master Tang seemed to be frightened, and even the words were uncomfortable. Mother Feng said that she had never seen the world before, and she was so scared, but even though she thought so, she was extremely satisfied in her heart.
Mother Feng put down her hand, took a cup of tea, took two sips, put it on the table, and said, “Okay, get up. I’m just reminding you that I’m not trying to do anything to you, how can I be so scared.”
Master Tang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, still panic on his face. Madam Feng’s tone was much more gentle, and she really turned into a point of mention, saying: “Today your mind is good, but it is too obvious. In the deep palace, if you fight for favor too hard, you fall behind, and you want to retreat. For advancement, no trace. Do you understand?”
After Grandma Feng finished speaking, she paused and said, “However, you are a blunder today, maybe you just hit a spot. King Jing is not a good person. In these years, no woman can get close. By his side. But when he left today, he asked for your name.”
Master Tang wanted to cry without tears. What kind of grace is this? King Jing asked her name, surely it was not to remember who she was, and to grant her death after entering the mansion? The most important thing is that her goal is not King Jing, but the son of the world.
To please King Jing, but offend the son, waiting for the hero to ascend the throne in the future, it is not the same as a dead end.
Master Tang felt bitter, but she couldn’t say. She grinned reluctantly, rubbing and inquiring: “Mother, I heard on the way that Prince Jing is a dragon and phoenix, a young talent, and I thought the son was an excellent young man, why is King Jing…” young?
Master Tang really felt that he was wronged, but if a middle-aged man with a big belly and vicissitudes of life came here today, Master Tang would not admit his mistake. However, the man was tall and straight, with a thin waist, and young and handsome. One stop there was a landscape. Who could believe that he already had a son of sixteen or seventeen?
Sister Feng sneered and said, “What a prince is just an adopted son, not the blood of the Zhao family.”
Teacher Tang widened his eyes in surprise, and waited for Grandma Feng to continue talking back. However, Mother Feng raised her mouth and refused to go any further. Instead, she turned to talk about King Jing: “You want to please the male master before entering the mansion. Your heart is good, but don’t be so obvious. This is King Jing. People are unfathomable, even the empress dowager can’t tell his thoughts.”
Madam Feng said, with a little emotion on her face: “He has been a fan since he was fourteen and has not been back to the capital for ten years. When he left Miyagi that year, King Jing was nothing but a handsome and flimsy boy. Unexpectedly, ten years. In the past, he became like this.”
Mother Feng was an old man who served the Queen Mother Yao. She knew many secrets about the palace. When King Sejong passed away, King Jing and King Teng were faculty members, and Mother Feng was all witnesses. In a blink of an eye, many years later, Xiaozong also died, and the sick and pale prince then became a powerful vassal king.
King Jing was sent to the domain at the age of fourteen. He was still sick at the time, and everyone in the palace, including the Queen Mother, felt that he could not survive. Who knows that the one who lived the longest was King Jing instead.
Grandma Feng sighed, and Master Tang extracted a lot of information about King Jing from just a few words.
When King Jing was fourteen years old, he was sent to the domain of the domain. Feng Feng lamented that he hadn’t seen him in ten years, that is to say, King Jing is now twenty-four years old. This age is not too old, or it is the British year, no wonder Master Tang will admit his mistakes. According to the rules left over from the founding of the country, the prince would all go to the vassal state to guard the frontiers when he was an adult, and he was not allowed to stay in the capital.
Listening to Mother Feng’s words and today’s performance after King Jing met with Mother Feng, I’m afraid that King Jing had a lot of tricks back then, and perhaps one of them was the handwriting of Queen Mother Yao.
Master Tang sighed deeply for his future. King Jing and the Queen Mother had an enemy, Master Tang severely offended the son before entering the mansion. She might not be able to follow her way in the Jing Palace in the future.
Teacher Tang asked with concern, “Mrs. Feng, I still don’t know how to avoid King Jing’s name.”
Mother Feng dipped her tea and wrote a word on the table: “Tie Jun.”
Master Tang knows that, now the surname of the country is Zhao, King Jing and Emperor Xiaozong have inherited the same generation, named Jun.
It turned out that his name was Zhao Chengjun.
