It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 5
Master Tang secretly remembered this name. Madam Feng swept her eyes from top to bottom. She saw Master Tang’s appearance, hands, waist, and figure. She suddenly smiled, took Master Tang’s hand, and dropped a mutton jade bracelet from her wrist.
Master Tang was surprised, and instinctively withdrew his hands, and was suppressed by Grandma Feng. Sister Feng smoothed the jade bracelet on Master Tang’s wrist. Master Tang looked good, and his hands were long and white, just like lush white. The mutton jade was hung on Master Tang’s wrist, and for a while, it seemed that her wrist was a little more delicate than jade.
Looking at this scene, Madam Feng secretly sighed that she was a natural stunner. From face to hand to figure, there was nothing beautiful or unattractive. Madam Feng patted Tang Shishi’s hand and said: “In a few days, we will be at the Jing Palace. Once you enter the Palace, you will be King Jing’s people. If your old body sends you to you, you will be able to retreat. , I left for Beijing. In this parting, I don’t know how long it will take to see you again. The old man will meet you. There is nothing to give when parting. There is only a pair of bracelets that the Emperor Xiaozong gave to the old man. The old man is old and weak. Wearing these is insulting good things, so leave it to you.”
Master Tang narrowed his eyebrows and said, “You can’t be worthy of it. This is given to you by Xiaozong. How can I be worthy of it?”
“What’s not worthy of this.” Madam Feng looked at Tang Shishi meaningfully and said, “You are a slave, and you are a person who wants to enjoy great wealth. There will be more good things you have to deal with in the future. Empress Dowager. She has a kind heart and treats the king as her own. King Jing has not had an heir for many years, and there is not even a caring person by his side. The empress dowager doesn’t know how worried. If you are favored by King Jing, you will take care of King Jing. , The empress dowager is kind and happy, and your reward will be indispensable in the future. Even being kind to the family is not impossible.”
Having said so much earlier, Master Tang has been listening respectfully, but in fact there is no fluctuation in his heart. Until Grandma Feng said “Enjoy the family”, Master Tang curled up his fingertips and bowed his head and said, “Yes, the little girl understands.”
Whether Huang’en can benefit the family is not known, but once something happens, it will link the nine clans, but it is certain.
Grandma Feng is doing both grace and power, beating Master Tang to be obedient, don’t imagine that with King Jing’s favor, you can betray the Queen Mother. The teacher of Tang Dynasty is in the Jing Palace, but her parents and relatives are all in the hands of the court.
Teacher Tang doesn’t care about the life and death of Tang Mingzhe and Su clan, but her mother is still in the Tang family.
Sister Feng didn’t want to say anything too bad, slapped a sweet date, that’s the way to control her. Mother Feng turned into a smile again, and said kindly, “But you don’t have to worry about it. You are always good, and the empress dowager can trust you. If you are in love with you, you might as well give you an accurate statement. You are facing the queen mother in your heart. When you make merit, you will reward your father and younger brother with a body of merit. From then on, you will be able to leave the business.”
Scholars, farmers, and business classes are clearly distinguished. Scholars are at the top and businessmen are at the bottom.
Merchants have money and no status, so Qi Jingsheng will be regarded as the light of revitalization by the Qi family only after showing his talent for reading. If Qi Jingsheng really took the exam to gain fame, even if it was just a man, the status of the Qi family would be earth-shaking.
The Qi family was able to walk sideways in front of all the merchants in Linqing just because there was a scholar, and even Tang Mingzhe regarded Qi Jingsheng as the son-in-law of Dongchuang. However, whether Qi Jingsheng can pass the exam and whether he can become an official after passing the exam is still unknown. But now, the Empress Dowager Yao can say casually, and give fame to the Tang family after everything is done.
This is power, this is the woman with the highest status in the entire dynasty, the empress dowager.
Master Tang’s heart was burning again. Tang Mingzhe spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. Teacher Tang grew up under the pressure of the mother and daughter in the second room. No one knows better than her, the love is cold and warm. What does it mean to give fame to her father and younger brother? What she wants is to add her own body to Xia Ling and express her purpose.
If Master Tang didn’t dare to be rash before, now that she saw Zhou Shunhua’s life track, how could she be willing to subdue to others. She wants to be the queen mother herself. Tang Mingzhe, Su clan, Zhou Shunhua, Yao empress, and even the male lead are all considered ass.
Master Tang is ambitious and has established a new life goal for himself, to be the queen mother. But now, she is still a humble and weak young girl who is struggling to survive. Teacher Tang lowered her eyebrows and agreed, and said: “Mother, don’t worry, I’m loyal to the empress dowager. In the world, it’s not the king’s soil and the stubbornness. On the shore, is it possible that Wang Chen. As a courtier, you should be loyal to the emperor. If you conceal it, it is unfaithful. I will report every move of the Prince Jing’s mansion to the empress dowager.”
Grandma Feng smiled and looked at Teacher Tang with satisfaction: “The empress dowager did not misunderstand you. You have this heart, and you don’t need to waste the empress dowager to cultivate you. Come here, if you have anything in the future, you can ask these people. To do it.”
Teacher Tang lowered his eyes, um, yes, no matter what Madam Feng said, he would take a mouthful. She didn’t have any moral burden. Anyway, she saw people talking, talking nonsense to ghosts, and when she saw Prince Jing, Master Tang cried and showed loyalty.
As for the Tang family, which was taken hostage by the court, Tang Shishi didn’t care. Tang Mingzhe’s wealthy family wealth is not left to her. Tang Wenxuan is not the younger brother of Master Tang. They are dead or alive. What is the matter of Master Tang?
After some time the limelight passed and people quietly took his mother out of Tang’s house, Master Tang had no worries at all.
The only thing worth her desperation is her own future.
Master Tang listened to Grandma Feng telling her about the joint people in the Jing Palace, and thought to herself that she might disappoint Grandma Feng and the Queen Mother.
Because her goal is not King Jing at all.
Departing the next day, the women gathered in front of the station, waiting to get on the train.
Teacher Tang finally came out with Grandma Feng, and all the women had strange expressions on their faces when they saw Master Tang.
Master Tang didn’t bother to bother about it. She was going to be the queen mother, and she was entangled with Xiaoyu Xiaoxia. After Madam Feng came out, the carriage rushed over quickly, Madam Feng got into her car, and then it was the turn of the beauties to board the car.
Shishi Tang was the last to come out, and she was standing on the periphery. She was not in a hurry, she stood at the end. The women looked at each other, no one dared to be in front of Master Tang, and silently gave way to Master Tang.
Master Tang smiled lightly, went through the crowd, and boarded the car first.
Ji Xinxian has always been uncomfortable with Master Tang. Seeing Master Tang’s performance, she rushed to curse people in anger. The people around quickly grabbed Ji Xinxian, and Ren Yujun stood beside Zhou Shunhua, looking at Zhou Shunhua as if asking.
Zhou Shunhua shook his head secretly, motioning not to fight with Master Tang. The rafters that are in their early days rotten first, and the ones that are held high may not be able to go far.
Just look at it.
Zhou Shunhua got into the car for the first time after Tang Shishi boarded the car. The girls sat down and the carriage moved slowly.
Master Tang looked at it openly or secretly, and closed his eyes calmly. To deal with Grandma Feng last night, Master Tang dared not sleep with his eyes closed, until he got into the car, Master Tang dared to take a nap.
Ji Xinxian has been waiting to pick out Master Tang’s thorns, but she waited all the way. Master Tang kept closing her eyes and rested. Ji Xinxian finally couldn’t help it, and said in a strange way: “Last night, I heard that Sister Tang was in such a big show.”
Master Tang closed his eyes and gave a faint hum: “I should be in the limelight, shouldn’t I?”
Ji Xinxian was choked, and after a while, he stabbed: “The daughters of good people don’t see foreign men. Yesterday, Sister Tang rushed directly in front of so many men, and Mother Feng didn’t say anything?”
Master Tang opened his eyes and glanced at Ji Xinxian with a smile: “Mother Feng did not blame me for petting me, but she also praised me for doing well.”
After that, Master Tang had no intention of raising his sleeves, revealing the mutton jade bracelet on his wrist: “Emperor Xiaozong’s reward, how can I wear it?”
This is the bracelet that Sister Feng wore on her hands and never left her body, and the women were deeply impressed. When Ji Xinxian saw the familiar jade bracelet appearing on Master Tang’s wrist, he rolled his eyes with anger and couldn’t speak.
Ren Yujun couldn’t help it, and couldn’t help but said: “Exposure may not be a good thing. You rushed directly in front of King Jing last night, reported the assassin, and gave directions to the foreigner. Is that what a lady did?”
Among the beauties who came this time, although everyone was at odds with each other, they could probably be divided into three factions. Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua were the daughters of the princes, who had known each other in the capital before, and belonged to the Xungui school; Ji Xinxian, Feng Qian, etc. were the daughters of civil officials, and they had high-ranking literati.
Master Tang did not rush and said, “If my daughter wants to abide by the boudoir precepts, doesn’t she have to abide by the Four Books and the Five Classics? This is the fief of King Jing. I found the assassin and I reported it to King Jing. Is it wrong?”
Ren Yujun was obsessed, who would dare to make such a mistake. All the women in the car fell silent. When Master Tang saw that they had finally stopped, he snorted and continued to close his eyes to make up for sleep.
Master Tang acted awe-inspiringly, and after closing her eyes, she sighed inwardly.
Of course she did something wrong. If she knew she had admitted the wrong male lead, she would not report the assassin to King Jing to death. Master Tang regrets that his intestines are turning green, but I can’t say that, I have to show happiness.
It’s so bad.
Their carriage walked for another four or five days, and finally arrived at Xiping Mansion.
Xiping is completely different from Jinling. Jinling’s water village is warm and soft, decorated with gold and jade, and it is full of imperial atmosphere. When Xiping enters the city, you can feel a kind of silent vastness and solemnity.
That is a city that has been at war for many years, so you can feel the sense of killing.
The soldiers who defended the city had known that the capital had sent the beauties over, and after checking their identities, they let them pass with a cold face. After passing through the city gate, all the women in the car were silent.
Although they didn’t see it, they already felt the breath on the street. At this moment, whether it is a government lady like Zhou Shunhua or a prefect daughter like Ji Xinxian, they clearly realize that this place is completely different from their past environment.
They are no longer pampered boudoir ladies, but become insignificant maids in the frontier clan king’s mansion.
The carriage stopped, and it seemed that someone came out to check it, and after a while, there was a sound of unloading the threshold.
Master Tang knew that they had arrived.
Several carriages stopped at the second gate for the first time. Mother Feng changed into formal clothes, cleared her throat, and said in a solemn voice: “Prince Jing’s mansion is here, come out. Don’t miss the hour to please the prince.”
Undoubtedly, this time was the first time that Tang Shishi got out of the car. The women lined up in a row, and Tang Shishi followed Mother Feng, folded his hands, and went to the main hall to greet King Jing with his eyes down.
Normally Tang Shishi was very persistent in standing in front of people, but before entering the door this time, she paused.
Wait a minute, see King Jing?
Before Master Tang could think about it, the main hall had arrived. Master Tang bit her scalp and entered the main hall. She glanced quickly before entering the door. At that time, her eyes were dark.
Sitting on the front seat in the middle, the man I saw last time was Jing Wang Zhao Chengjun. At the bottom, there was a very young boy sitting.
Don’t think about it, it must be the adopted son of King Jing, the elder son Zhao Zi inquired.
Master Tang’s scalp exploded, but she was the first, and she couldn’t hide behind others. She lowered her head deeper, trying to narrow her sense of existence.
However, things backfired. As soon as Tang Shishi entered, the first two men looked at her together.
Obviously, both King Jing and Shi Zi recognized this woman who impressed them.
