It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 88

Master Tang nodded lightly, and said casually: “I know. Let them wait in the penthouse, I’ll come over in a while.”

“Yes.”

Master Tang returned to the main room to moisturize his throat, sat down and rested for a while, then walked towards the penthouse without hesitation. During this period of time, Master Tang had to raise a baby, and did not care about the affairs of the palace, but in order to show loyalty, these people often ran over to Master Tang to speak flattering words, and then told Master Tang of the schedule for this period of time, pretending to ask Master Tang for instructions.

If Master Tang doesn’t like it, just change it, anyway, the troubles of the real implementation are not in the hands of Master Tang. Master Tang is now very much like those ancestors who pamper themselves but refuse to delegate power. Although they don’t work, everything must be approved by her.

Lu Yufei followed Master Tang to the penthouse. She stood behind Master Tang and listened to those Diaohua ladies who were flattering to offer good things to Master Tang. Master Tang directly interrupted her mother-in-law if he didn’t understand or was dissatisfied, and asked the other party to explain again.

And the lady in charge did not have any discomfort, and continued to say in a good voice, for fear of upsetting Master Tang. Lu Yufei listened for a while, envy and jealous again in his heart.

She also took care of the house for a short time, but annoyed King Jing some time ago and was completely dismissed. When Lu Yufei was in charge, these wives were not like this. They served in the palace for more than ten years, one by one, they were intricate, old and cunning, and if Lu Yufei moved one by one, they would get involved in a series. She has to be careful what she wants to do, for fear of offending these people and being stumbled by them secretly.

Lu Yufei originally comforted herself, but stewardship is an emotional intelligence job, because it is because of the world’s incomprehensibility that she needs her. Only Lu Yufei can do this kind of thing. If he is clever, talented, and behaves a little bit worse, then he can’t do it.

Who thinks, it’s not that honest people can’t steward, but because Lu Yufei’s identity is not worthy of honesty. I didn’t see Master Tang sitting here, too lazy to deal with his wife, and any unhappiness was thrown directly on the other side’s face. The old slickers apologized and then quickly got rid of it.

Lu Yufei sighed deeply.

Master Tang was upset when she heard the women’s talk. She didn’t even know who these names represented. She didn’t feel confused by listening to her telling who was in what position. Master Tang became impatient and waved directly: “Okay, the specific details don’t need to be said. The kitchen, the procurement, the warehouse…Anyway, all the places to keep accounts are not far away, just this year, and the ledger will be sent to me. .”

The women in charge were taken aback, a few of them exchanged their sights quickly, and said with a flattering smile: “Wang Hao, you don’t know anything about it. Such a big palace has a lot of daily flow. The account book is not a pamphlet, but several books. Well. The princess does not consume energy now, so I am afraid that the princess will not be able to finish with so many books.”

Master Tang coldly said, “I can watch it over several days if I can’t finish it in a day. If I can’t finish it in a month, I will leave it to next year. As a princess, I want to see what is my business. I want to manage it all?”

The women in charge were frightened, and bowed their heads together: “Old slaves dare not.”

Master Tang is now Jingui, how dare women say that Master Tang is not good. The woman with the longest qualifications secretly made a look at everyone, and said with a smile: “What the princess said is that they care about the princess, and they carelessly arrogate. The princess has a lot of them, don’t care about them, the old slave will give it to you. The princess sent the account book.”

The woman said, winking frequently, the few people who questioned just now bent over with a dry smile, and couldn’t help begging for mercy: “The princess is forgiving, and the slaves know their mistakes.”

Master Tang closed his eyes, and said lightly: “Okay, get up. If you have nothing to do, leave it.”

“The old slave obeys his orders.”

The women retired one after another, and Tongxiu stopped at the door, and waited for everyone to go out before entering the room to give Master Tang a blessing: “Wang Hao Jin An. Wang Hao, the concierge sent many invitation posts. Please have a look.”

It was an invitation from the outside, and Master Tang came with interest and said, “Come on.”

Tongxiu should be, and handed over the post. Master Tang opened the top one and saw Mrs. Zheng written on it. Teacher Tang thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that this was an old lady. When Zhao Chengjun chose the concubine, he asked Mrs. Zheng to be the matchmaker.

He had a relationship with Lu Yufei, and seemed to have a good relationship with Mrs. Xi. Master Tang didn’t even think about it, so he threw the post away.

Lu Yufei and Tongxiu were surprised when they saw Master Tang’s movements. Tongxiu reminded roundly: “Wang Hao, this is Mrs. Zheng, who has always been respected by the prince. When he married his concubine, he was the matchmaker said by Mrs. Zheng.”

“I know.” Master Tang looked at Tong Xiu calmly, “What does this have to do with me not wanting to go?”

Tongxiu was dumb, unable to speak for a while. Yes, Master Tang was not a bride who had just entered the door and dared not offend anyone, nor was she a humble concubine who was in desperate need of a firm footing. She had a queen mother behind her back and a child protection in her belly, so she really didn’t need to look at anyone’s face.

What about Mrs. Zheng’s high morals? No matter how high her reputation is, she can be higher than the Queen Mother Yao?

Master Tang looked back one by one, the Lu family’s posts, throw them away; the Li family’s, the road is too far, throw them away; the Xi family’s, don’t even think about it, throw it away.

Master Tang’s posts were thrown one by one, picking and choosing, without covering up. There was still a pile in the back. Master Tang didn’t bother to read it, so he closed the lid and pushed it to Tongxiu and said, “I don’t want to read it. Throw it away.”

Tongxiu’s brows jumped quickly, and finally chose to be silent, and quietly withdrew the box. Tong Xiu crouched to pick up the scattered posts, one of them fell at Lu Yufei’s feet. When Tong Xiu was about to take it, seeing Lu Yufei squatting down, he picked up the invitation one step in advance and handed it to Tong Xiu.

Tongxiu raised her eyes to look at Lu Yufei, nodded and moved away again. At this time, the lady in charge sent the account book, and the maids were so busy that they were afraid that Master Tang would be tired from looking at the account book.

Amidst the chaos, Master Tang sat in the center of the crowd, looking down at the account book calmly, without any discomfort. As if she was born to be surrounded by everyone, enjoying everyone running for her.

Lu Yufei lowered his eyes and sighed again in his heart. Lu Yufei has sighed more times than in the previous year since Tang Master appointed his concubine. Lu Yufei had never cared about it before, and it was only after the comparison of Tang’s teacher and teacher that Lu Yufei realized how humble her situation was and how helpless her life was.

A woman’s life will be reflected on her face. When Master Tang first came to Jing Palace, although she was squeamish, she was not such a brazen temper. She would also look at people’s winks and flatter her. One year later, the once cautious Master Tang disappeared. Now she dared to throw away Zheng’s invitation, dared to openly scold the old slave who had been years old, and dared to ask for the account book to read.

Lu Yufei felt that Master Tang was not good and unfilial, but also envied her that she could do whatever she wanted. Only those who are favored have the confidence to squander.

And the person who gave Tang Shishi’s confidence, don’t think about it, naturally it is King Jing.

In the evening, when Zhao Chengjun came back, he unexpectedly found that Yan’an Courtyard was quiet. After he entered the main room, he subconsciously searched for Teacher Tang, and the maid gently reminded him next to him: “The prince, the princess is in the east penthouse.”

Zhao Chengjun walked to the far east and found that she was leaning on the soft cushion, looking at the account book attentively. Zhao Chengjun looked at the door for a while, coughing lightly.

Master Tang woke up and found out that Zhao Chengjun was back. She quickly stood up: “Master? When did you come back, why didn’t you let people tell…”

“I didn’t let them pass it.” Zhao Chengjun stopped Master Tang’s words and walked to her, naturally lowering his eyes, “What are you looking at?”

“Account book.” Tang Shishi did not hide it. This is the account book of the palace. Since she dared to beat those old slaves, she was not afraid that Zhao Chengjun would know about it. Sure enough, Zhao Chengjun didn’t care. He only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze: “Go and see if you like. But remember to keep your feet in check and don’t tire yourself and your children.”

“I know.” Tang Shishi closed the account books, and today’s account review came to an end for the time being. She followed Zhao Chengjun, walked out of the penthouse, and asked, “Has the prince eat dinner?”

“No.”

“That’s right.” Master Tang smiled, “Just now the kitchen brought the food, I’ll let them put the food.”

Zhao Chengjun frowned when he heard: “I said, you don’t have to wait for me, just eat on time.”

“I’m not.” Tang Shishi took Qiao’s righteousness, she raised her chin slightly and said, “This is what you said, Lord, let me not wrong myself, everyone else and everything can give me a concession. If not, When people accompany me, I tend to have a bad appetite, so if I bother the prince to wrong myself, I will be the one who comes.

Zhao Chengjun laughed and lightly tapped the center of her eyebrows: “Smooth tone.”

Master Tang was not afraid of him. Instead, he blocked his fingers and pushed away disgustingly: “Don’t touch my forehead. I finally put Huatian on it today. You are careful to twist it for me.”

Zhao Chengjun had become accustomed to being contradicted, and he didn’t care about this little outrage at all. He held Master Tang’s hand with his backhand, took her shoulders, and led her to the dining room: “Let’s go, you have been hungry for a long time, and the child can’t stand it anymore.”

“The prince only cares about children?”

“…And you.”

As it approaches late autumn, it gets dark soon after dinner. After taking a shower, Master Tang sent all the maids out and combed their hair in the room. Zhao Chengjun was reading in the east room, quietly in the bedroom.

Master Tang couldn’t help but fall to the red wooden box, which contained her clothes and the heavenly book. In the past, Master Tang had to check the plot every day, but since she moved to Yan’an Academy and lived with Zhao Chengjun, Master Tang rarely had the opportunity to read.

In the daytime people come and go are maids, and in the evening there is Zhao Chengjun. Since the last time I watched it, Master Tang has never found a chance to turn the plot. She hesitated for a while, but still felt that she couldn’t be careless. Zhao Chengjun was so dark and tolerant. She made tricks in front of him, and she must be the one who overturned the car.

Master Tang retracted his gaze and continued to comb his hair. After a while, Zhao Chengjun put down his book and came back. Seeing Master Tang still sitting in front of the vanity mirror, he was surprised: “Why are you still combing your hair?”

Master Tang realized that she was distracted, and didn’t even notice what she was doing. Master Tang pretended to have nothing to do, put down the comb and said, “I comb it casually. Recently, my hair grows very slowly, and I can comb it more quickly.”

Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi quietly, she was in a guilty conscience. If you are not guilty, what’s the explanation?

Zhao Chengjun calmly retracted his gaze and said, “It’s getting late, it’s time to go to bed.”

Master Tang reluctantly gave an “um” and walked onto the bed. When she climbed onto the bed skillfully and made the quilt, she was slightly startled when she saw the two silk quilts on the bed.

The quilt collapsed slightly, Zhao Chengjun sat on the edge of the bed and asked, “What do you think?”

Master Tang pursed her lips. After hesitating for a long time, she still said: “Master, Grandma Feng is leaving today.”

Zhao Chengjun waited for a while, but when he heard nothing, he was surprised: “Yes. What do you want to ask?”

Teacher Tang had always avoided talking about it before, and it seemed that as long as she didn’t touch it, this problem wouldn’t exist. Now that Grandma Feng is gone, Master Tang can no longer bear it.

With a mentality of dying early and overtaking her life, she hurriedly asked: “The prince, what they said before is not completely unreasonable. Regarding the matter of taking concubines…how do you arrange it?”

Zhao Chengjun’s eyes moved slightly, revealing a clear look. It turned out that she was worried about this. Zhao Chengjun’s expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: “I have already arranged that day. I don’t consider taking a concubine, and I won’t be allowed to mention it again in the future.”

Master Tang couldn’t help frowning, as if he heard something incomprehensible. Zhao Chengjun calmly asked, “Otherwise, what do you think?”

After Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, before Master Tang replied, he speciously mentioned: “There are no outsiders here, you can just say what you want.”

Teacher Tang was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Chengjun’s words. She paused for a while, seeming to be considering the language, and finally gave up completely, and said the truth: “My lord, if I say how happy you are to accept a concubine, it must be a lie. But why don’t you accept it?”

When Zhao Chengjun heard her last sentence, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Chengjun should have a headache if she throws out a sentence of “Three Desires and Four Virtues”. Fortunately, Master Tang didn’t say those nonsense.

He let go of his mind, as for the following questions, it is completely unimportant. Zhao Chengjun **** Master Tang’s hair and lifted it all to the other side. Then he straightened her upright pillow and said, “Why do you have to take a concubine? Now my life is just right. It’s enough for me to deal with you. Why should I? Give yourself trouble again.”

This is actually Zhao Chengjun’s truth, but Tang Shishi doesn’t believe it. In other words, she didn’t believe that men would resist the temptation of **** and lead the life of ascetics. Master Tang resisted the embarrassment, quickly gestured to his stomach, and whispered: “But, I have already shown that it is inconvenient to do anything. Doesn’t the prince mind?”

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t help laughing. He touched the top of Master Tang’s head, rubbed her hair that had just been combed, and said, “The reason why people are human is that they can control themselves. If you can’t even control this, with livestock What’s the difference?”

“But everyone else…” Master Tang couldn’t continue, his voice getting lower and lower, “I have been pregnant for several months.”

During this period of time, Master Tang fell asleep with Zhao Chengjun, and sometimes she did not sleep well at night. How could she not know this kind of thing?

In fact, Zhao Chengjun was also very uncomfortable during this period, but who knew that the hit rate was so high that he would hit it once. Zhao Chengjun could only suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and still used an ancient and unreliable tone, saying: “It is true that a wife cannot have **** during pregnancy, but she can’t control her little desires. Talk about how to restrain alcohol, wealth and other great desires. The beasts still know that their pregnant partner will stay at home, and go outside to mess around while the wife is pregnant. In my opinion, beasts are inferior.”

Master Tang sneered, completely relieved. No matter how strict it is for a woman to control such things, it is useless. To put it bluntly, it still depends on the man.

As long as he thinks about it, his wife is useless all day long. If he doesn’t want to, it doesn’t hurt to be full of beauty.

Zhao Chengjun is indeed not a good person, but he is a person who keeps his promises. He said that, it really wouldn’t be. At this point, Teacher Tang completely trusted Zhao Chengjun.

Zhao Chengjun looked at her shining eyes, feeling a little helpless in his heart. He still comforted her, touched her hair, and said: “Be at ease, I promise you, I will never break my promise.”

Teacher Tang was about to say something, suddenly his expression was startled, and his whole body became stiff. Zhao Chengjun was taken aback, and immediately asked: “What’s the matter?”

Master Tang seemed to be in a huge surprise, her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhao Chengjun incredulously: “He kicked me.”

Zhao Chengjun was stunned for a while before he realized who “he” was: “You mean a child?”

“Yes.” Master Tang took Zhao Chengjun’s hand in surprise and placed his palm on his stomach, “right here.”

Zhao Chengjun’s expression became serious, as if facing an enemy. The two held their breath and waited for a while, but nothing happened.

Master Tang was embarrassed and disappointed, and quickly said: “I don’t know why he doesn’t move…but just now, he really kicked me!”

Zhao Chengjun covered Master Tang’s hand and said: “I believe you, you don’t have to worry. Maybe he is tired, wait for tomorrow…”

Before Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, a certain part of Master Tang’s stomach bulged slightly, this time both Zhao Chengjun and Master Tang felt it. Master Tang was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but raise his voice and said, “He just kicked it again!”

“I can feel it.” Zhao Chengjun looked at Master Tang’s lower abdomen with a magical look. Zhao Chengjun knew for the first time that before the child was born, he would move.

In fact, we can’t blame Zhao Chengjun for being ignorant. He is the youngest son of Concubine Guo. He has no younger brother and no wives and concubines around him after he leaves the palace. How does he know what the child was like when he was a child? This is the first time that Zhao Chengjun intuitively feels his offspring. It turned out that he really had a child, a child who was connected to him by blood.

Tang Shishi suddenly became a precious item in Zhao Chengjun’s eyes. He placed Master Tang well, and then he has been studying Master Tang’s stomach. It’s a pity that the child didn’t give face, and after moving twice, he ignored his father again. Zhao Chengjun expressed enthusiasm and studied for a long time. In the end, Master Tang was annoyed by fiddling, and said with a smile, “Wang Ye clearly said that he doesn’t like children, and now it seems that it is not all.”

Zhao Chengjun was silent. After a while, he sighed extremely helplessly.

You must never promise too early when you are young. Otherwise, it will slap in the face.
