It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 90
Master Tang couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard it. Due to the presence of many maids around, she just held back and nodded and said, “Yes, he moved.”
Zhao Chengjun was really pleased. He wanted to try it with his own hands, but now unlike in private, there are still many maids in the house. Zhao Chengjun resisted the urge to touch it and said, “That’s good. Sure enough, my expectation is precise.”
Master Tang didn’t even look at Zhao Chengjun, and said perfunctorily: “Yes, yes, the prince is like a god, and he can even master this kind of thing.”
Zhao Chengjun saw Master Tang’s eyes staring down, and asked calmly, “What are you looking at?”
Master Tang raised the booklet and showed Zhao Chengjun the graphics inside: “Pattern booklet. The embroiderer has to take a break during the Chinese New Year. She has to cut out the clothes for the early spring of next year at this moment.”
It turned out to be the patterns for making clothes. Zhao Chengjun had never cared about these. His world only has border military affairs, legal changes, and blood feuds. How can I know what kind of flowers are embroidered on clothes and how to cut clothes? Zhao Chengjun aroused interest and asked Master Tang, “Which is your dress?”
“I’m picking it up.” Teacher Tang loved beauty since he was a child, but now he is pregnant and can’t wear many clothes before. This stumped Master Tang. She refused to wear large and plain robes, but if she wears clothes with too many details, she will be tired after wearing them for a long time. Master Tang tried to find a balance between comfort and beauty. Seeing her picking and choosing, Zhao Chengjun stretched out his finger and said, “I think this is good.”
“It’s too fat.”
“Do you still want to wear thin clothes?”
Master Tang closed the booklet with a bang and glared at Zhao Chengjun angrily: “Are you saying I’m fat?”
Zhao Chengjun was speechless and couldn’t figure out why Master Tang could jump back to this point from any topic. Zhao Chengjun tried to comfort her: “You are pregnant now, you are healthy if you are more rounded. You were too thin some time ago.”
Master Tang blinked, and grievances suddenly surged: “You don’t deny it, you really think I am fat.”
Zhao Chengjun gave up, and he shouldn’t take up any topics related to “fat”. Seeing a person standing outside the partition, he immediately said: “Who is outside? What’s the matter?”
The maid walked in in small steps and bowed her head and said: “Return to the prince and princess, the people from the cloth workshop are here, and want to greet the princess.”
“It’s them.” Master Tang remembered and ordered, “They are here to deliver fabrics. Let them wait in the concierge. I’ll go over.”
After Zhao Chengjun heard it, he said, “Since you want to make clothes so much, why wait and let them in.”
Master Tang hesitated: “But Lord, you still have things to do outside. I am calling someone to come in now, I’m afraid it will waste the Lord’s time.”
“It’s closed at the end of the year, what else can happen.” Zhao Chengjun didn’t blink his eyes, as if he was thrown in the study, eagerly waiting for him to go back to discuss matters. The subordinates did not exist at all, and said, “It just happens that I have nothing to do today, I can accompany you. Look at the clothes. Let them in.”
Of course Teacher Tang was very happy that Zhao Chengjun could accompany her. Her eyes suddenly brightened, and she smiled and said, “It’s rare that the prince has time, please hurry up.”
The people in the cloth shop received the message and came in with a lot of samples. After the shopkeeper’s wife came in, she was shocked to find that King Jing was also there.
Tang Shishi was immersed in the joy of choosing clothes, and didn’t even notice the reactions of people around him. She drew her fingers across the fabrics, and finally looked at one of them, pulled apart and gestured on her body, and then asked Zhao Chengjun, “What do you think of this?”
Zhao Chengjun nodded: “Well, it looks good.”
“Really?” Master Tang frowned, “but the color is too light and it’s easy to look bad.”
Zhao Chengjun did not expect Master Tang to be dissatisfied. According to her words, he pointed to a red horse: “This horse is bright and will not look dull.”
“But it’s too gorgeous.” Master Tang still frowned, “I can’t wear too much jewelry next year. In this one, do I look at people or clothes?”
Zhao Chengjun had to accompany her to try another color. As a result, Master Tang was too pale, red too thick, blue too cold, and green too unlucky. Zhao Chengjun had a headache when he heard it, and finally waved his hand: “Okay, no need to choose. Since you can’t make up your mind, just stay.”
If you can’t make a choice, then don’t make a choice, you need it all. Master Tang had nothing to say in an instant, and she struggled a little: “But will this be too extravagant…”
“No.” Zhao Chengjun said, “No matter how expensive things are, they have a price, but you are happy but they are priceless.”
Master Tang was coaxed to chuckle, his eyes gleaming. The people in the cloth shop were speechless, the world was terrible, and it was rumored that King Jing, who was ruthless and stern, could coax women like this in private?
The folks at the cloth shop are full of excitement just thinking about it.
There was a burst of laughter outside the house, mixed with the voices of women greeting each other. The maid ran in to salute and said, “Wang Hao, the concubine of the world is here with three beauties.”
Today, the people from the cloth workshop came in to deliver the fabrics. Master Tang notified Lu Yufei by the way and asked them to come and choose the materials together. Lu Yufei did not know that Zhao Chengjun would be back, so they came on time.
There is a difference between inside and outside, Zhao Chengjun can accompany Tang Shishi, but it is not convenient for him to stay any longer when the other female relatives are here. Zhao Chengjun heard the maid’s report and said to Master Tang: “You choose slowly, I’ll go out first. Don’t be impatient, don’t run, don’t be tempestuous.”
“I see.” Teacher Tang helplessly pushed Zhao Chengjun’s arm, “I remember it all, you go out and do your thing.”
The clothfang people watched the princess push King Jing away with stunned eyes. When King Jing left, he was still worried and stopped and asked: “Don’t behave, be careful of your body. If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to come to me immediately.”
“Good.” Tang Shishi nodded repeatedly, wishing Zhao Chengjun to leave quickly. People who didn’t know thought that Zhao Chengjun was going to go far. He just went to the front yard and study to sit for a while and then came back at night. Why should he be so grand?
Lu Yufei and a few people were guarding Baosha, and not long after they took off their cloaks, they just happened to run into Zhao Chengjun to go out. Lu Yufei and several people hurriedly saluted Zhao Chengjun away.
After Zhao Chengjun left, Lu Yufei asked as he walked into the room, “Is the princess uncomfortable today?”
The maid who led the way was very strange: “No, the princess is in good spirits today.”
“That…” Lu Yufei was puzzled, “Then why did the prince come back?”
While talking, Lu Yufei and several people had already walked out of the partition. Master Tang was sitting on the Luohan bed and just heard Lu Yufei’s words: “What are you talking about? Why are you talking about the prince?”
The maid blessed her body and turned her head down and said, “Return to the princess, the concubine is asking why the princess is back.”
Lu Yufei smiled and took the words: “Yes. I heard that there were many people in the study today. The son of the world went out early in the morning and didn’t come back for lunch. I saw that the prince suddenly went back to the inner house and thought something was wrong. .”
Master Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are they busy these days?”
“Of course.” Lu Yufei said, “The New Year will be closed soon, and the government office will have a holiday in a few days. You have to take advantage of these days to close the old cases, and the deployment, duty, and patrol of Xiping City must be arranged in advance. Now, the prince only arranges for Xiping City to keep his feet busy. The prince not only has to take care of Xiping City, but also consider other places. I thought the prince would be more busy.”
“Really?” Master Tang’s expression became more and more confused. Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zixun were managing the same incident logically. Why is the news reported from Lu Yufei completely different from what Master Tang felt?
Is Zhao Chengjun really busy? Why can’t she see it at all?
Lu Yufei originally thought that Zhao Chengjun was called back by Master Tang, but now, looking at Master Tang’s expression, it doesn’t seem to be the case. Lu Yufei was also impatient, and asked: “Since it’s not the princess who is unwell, what will the lord do when he comes back?”
“I don’t know.” Teacher Tang snorted softly, and said casually, “Maybe it’s idle.”
idle? The four women in Shiziyuan were all surprised. Zhao Zixun was too busy to see anyone during this time, and had not returned to the back house for a long time. Zhao Chengjun has more things to do than Zhao Zixun, so it would only be more busy, so Tang Shishi actually said that Jing Wangxian?
The girls looked at each other, no one could understand anyone.
In the clamor, New Year’s Eve is coming soon. On the thirtieth day, there was the sound of firecrackers early in the morning. Everyone changed their clothes and exchanged auspicious words with joy: “Auspicious New Year, good life and health.”
In the Yan’an Yard, the corridors and corridors were cleaned up, and everything was bright. In the main room, Master Tang was eight months pregnant with a very high belly. Zhao Chengjun supported her and carefully let her sit on the Luohan bed: “If there is something for the maid to do, you should not move.”
Master Tang supported his waist, his lower back was very sore. Zhao Chengjun saw that her face was not good, and asked, “Back pain?”
Teacher Tang nodded aggrieved. She can no longer care whether her figure is good or not. Now she has backache at every turn, and she is panting from exhaustion after a little movement, and even has difficulty turning over at night. Fortunately, Zhao Chengjun was with her. Sometimes Master Tang was awakened in the middle of the night, her calves cramped badly, but she couldn’t even sit up, Zhao Chengjun felt light and would wake up soon and help her rub her legs.
Last night, Master Tang was awakened several times. After she recovered, she continued to sleep, but Zhao Chengjun did not sleep well, and she didn’t know if she fell asleep later. Master Tang was a little guilty about this, but he didn’t want to ask Zhao Chengjun to go to sleep in another room.
She was pregnant so hard, so why should she suffer the crime alone, but let Zhao Chengjun rest peacefully? The child belongs to him. Isn’t it right for Zhao Chengjun to be tossed by his own child?
Master Tang upholds the principle that I have a bad life and others can’t be good, pretending not to know, and letting Zhao Chengjun go out to live without opening his mouth. Fortunately, Zhao Chengjun had never mentioned that he had been with Tang Shishi hard and painstakingly.
Zhao Chengjun sighed softly when he heard Master Tang’s words, and stretched out his hand to help her rub her waist. It was the first time that Zhao Chengjun knew that a woman could be so tired when she was pregnant. If it were not for personal experience, he would never have imagined that a woman who seemed to be weak and unable to hold hands would have to endure so much hardship. The pain they have to endure is no less than the soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy.
Not all men in the world will fight to kill the enemy, but most women will have children. Zhao Chengjun was very embarrassed at the thought of this place. Maybe he saw a lot of things. Some things lost his sense of awe, because all women have to have children, so childbirth seems to be a no big deal. After Zhao Chengjun personally accompanied Tang Shishi through the pregnancy reaction, he realized how difficult it was for the mother and concubine to carry the three brothers. It’s a pity that he was young at that time, and he yearned for the outside with all his heart. Even when he rarely accompanied his mother and concubine, he was talking about his father and the concubine.
Young people admire his father, but he wouldn’t know that his father only visited them occasionally, and if his father liked him again, it would not delay the harem from giving birth to other princes and princesses. Only the mother and concubine are the ones who truly love them without reservation.
With the moderate strength of Zhao Chengjun’s hands, Master Tang’s low back pain was greatly relieved. Seeing Zhao Chengjun’s eyes hanging down, she seemed to be worried, and asked, “Master, what are you thinking about?”
“I was wondering how ignorant I was back then.” Zhao Chengjun’s voice was very low, seeming to sigh infinitely, “I didn’t even say a word of thanks to my concubine.”
Teacher Tang was silent, Zhao Chengjun stopped, and continued: “At that time, I only knew that I disliked my mother’s concubine nagging, and was impatient with her telling me to study and improve, and intervene in my clothing, food, housing and transportation. As everyone knows, when I want to listen later, there is no chance anymore. “
“Lord…”
Zhao Chengjun shook Master Tang’s hand and said indifferently: “I’m fine, I just feel it because I feel it. Raising a child knows the kindness of my parents. I hate that I understand it too late.”
