It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager - Chapter 91

Master Tang was silent for a while when he heard Zhao Chengjun mention Concubine Gonglie and Sejong. As early as when she first came to the Jing Palace, Madam Feng had mentioned vaguely that in the Jing Palace, the concubine Gonglie, who was buried for Sejong, was a taboo.

The death of an imperial concubine who gave birth to three princes is simply unthinkable and unprecedented. Later, Master Tang inquired that Zhao Chengjun’s two brothers had died in the early years of Yongxi.

At the beginning of Yongxi, that was when Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Yao just turned over to take charge. The causal relationship among them, Tang Shishi did not dare to think about it, but looking at the strange appearances of Mother Feng and Zhao Chengjun when they first met at the station, I am afraid that the other two princes may not have died naturally.

Even after thinking about it, Zhao Chengjun’s fiancée had accidents one by one, maybe it was not accidental. As a result, Zhao Chengjun’s fate was spread out from the outside, saying that his life was so murderous that he would kill everyone around him. His parents, his brothers, his fiancee… all survived.

This statement has fooled many people, and the statement of Zhao Chengjun’s wife has been circulating in the capital. But think about it from another angle. It is not that Zhao Chengjunke died of the people around him, but that of all his relatives and friends, he was the only one who survived.

Teacher Tang thought secretly, this person should be the Queen Mother Yao. The next thing is also logical, Tang Shishi is the Queen Mother Yao, the Queen Mother Yao deliberately showed her benevolence, so Zhao Chengjun’s wedding was finally held successfully. When Shishi Tang thought about this, he was scared into a cold sweat, and he was glad that he had escaped. Then Zhao Chengjun was very nervous during this period, which can be explained.

Master Tang did not answer the topic of Concubine Gong Lie. She couldn’t understand what it was like to watch her birth mother be forced to die. If she rashly comforted Zhao Chengjun, she would only appear pretentious. Moreover, this topic is sensitive after all. If one says nothing, she will not be human inside and outside, and it will be ruined if it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother Yao.

So Master Tang held Zhao Chengjun’s hand, placed it on his stomach, and said, “Master, the past is over, and those are not your fault. As long as you have the heart, it is never too late to understand. If you have any regrets, please do well in the future. Wouldn’t it be right to teach your child so that he has all your thoughts?”

Zhao Chengjun felt the blood gurgling under his palm, as if he heard the fragile heartbeat of another life through his abdominal cavity. This is his child, a little life who carries his blood, has Guo family blood, and has the shadow of his brothers in his eyebrows.

Zhao Chengjun never thought that Zhao Chengting was his brother, and now the little emperor on the dragon chair has nothing to do with him. The second and third elder brothers all left early, leaving no bones and blood before his death. He delayed the military for many years and finally had his own child until this year. This child turned out to be the only descendant of their family.

Zhao Chengjun felt more and more pity in his heart. Before the child was born, he had already thought out the future arrangements, even the textbook for the child’s enlightenment. Zhao Chengjun and Tang Shishi said: “Do you think he should learn how to write well or martial arts first? My grandpa and his family have a good memory. I heard that I have to recite a dictionary from an early age so that my childhood potential will not be wasted. I never forget. By the way, my second brother is especially good at calligraphy and danqing, maybe he has a talent for painting…”

Master Tang was displeased, and interrupted Zhao Chengjun and said, “Master, he has not been born yet. You arrange a series of rules for him. What if he is born an ordinary person? Besides, why can’t he be like me? It’s not me. Kuahaikou, since my grandfather, our family has a good drinking capacity and quick calculations. We never need an abacus to settle accounts.”

Zhao Chengjun nodded: “It’s good to be like you. Especially your daughter, you must inherit your alcohol intake, so you don’t have to worry about her being taken advantage of.”

As he spoke, his eyebrows were raised, and Zhao Chengjun’s hand was angrily pinched: “What are you talking about, did you curse your daughter like this? Pooh, you can’t say bad things in the New Year, you just take it back.”

“Okay, I take it back.” Zhao Chengjun helped her helplessly, “Don’t worry, speak slowly.”

When Zhao Chengjun coaxed Tang Shishi, Liu Ji stopped outside and said, “The prince, the son and the concubine are here.”

Zhao Chengjun and Master Tang stopped their movements, Master Tang retracted their hands, and when they were leaving, he was not relieved, and came back to pinch him again. Zhao Chengjun endured silently, sat upright, and said, “Biography.”

Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei walked in and greeted them in turn: “My son, please greet my father and the princess. Father and princess are happy in the new year.”

Lu Yufei followed Fushen: “Happy New Year to the prince and princess.”

Teacher Tang responded casually, without paying attention, but Zhao Chengjun suddenly noticed a problem.

Zhao Zixun called him his father, but called Master Tang as the princess. Zhao Chengjun hadn’t noticed before, but today he realized that the two titles were side by side.

Zhao Chengjun recalled at this time and found that Zhao Zixun did not call Master Tang as his mother in any public occasions. What does this mean? Don’t recognize the status of Master Tang, or simply don’t want to call her like that.

Zhao Chengjun looked at Zhao Zixun quietly and said nothing. Today, not only Zhao Zixun and his wife are paying New Year’s greetings, but many officials outside the palace will also come to visit. After a while, Liu Ji came to report: “My lord, the prefect is here.”

The prefect of Xiping Mansion always asked Zhao Chengjun to meet him in person. Zhao Chengjun got up, and Zhao Zixun wanted to go with him when he saw it. Zhao Zixun raised his footsteps slightly, and quickly walked out of the partition, but Zhao Chengjun did not expect to come out for a long time.

Zhao Zixun was surprised. He returned to the inner room and found that Zhao Chengjun was still staying where he was. He whispered to Master Tang: “Be careful yourself, let the maid do it for you, don’t take it yourself. No matter where you go, you must bring it with you. Maid.”

“I know.” Master Tang’s backsides flowed, “Don’t be impatient, don’t lift heavy objects, don’t get angry. I remembered everything, you go quickly.”

Lu Yufei served on one side, his eyes widened in surprise when he heard these words. Teacher Tang is so courageous, how dare to speak to King Jing like this? She quietly went to see Zhao Chengjun’s face. To her surprise, Zhao Chengjun was not displeased. She still patiently said to Master Tang, “It doesn’t hurt to be more careful. You can let the maid speak with you first, and I will come back to accompany you after sending away the prefect. “

Tang Shishi nodded, looked indifferent, and looked a little impatient. Instead, it was Zhao Chengjun who stopped at one step and three times, admonishing the left and right, and finally left the house with great difficulty.

In contrast, Master Tang is like that heartless scum man.

Zhao Chengjun walked out the door, still not forgetting to tell the maid at the door. Lu Yufei watched this scene in amazement, and tentatively said softly: “Princess, the prince is gone.”

Master Tang looked at her in surprise: “I know.”

Master Tang didn’t understand what Lu Yufei wanted to ask, and Lu Yufei was at a loss for words, and didn’t know what to say. Lu Yufei can only meet Zhao Zixun with a New Year’s greeting today, and come to the Yan’an Institute to greet her. The two of them were silent all the way. It was just when Lu Yufei heard Zhao Zixun’s first sentence just when he was paying a New Year’s greetings. Their husbands and wives were so unfamiliar. Lu Yufei even had an extravagant wish to talk to her husband. As for Master Tang, Zhao Chengjun told her to stop and talk to her several times when she went out. Master Tang was actually impatient.

People are really incomparable. Master Tang wanted to get up, but the surrounding maids met and hurriedly gathered around to help her. Master Tang leaned on his waist and walked hard, complaining: “The big belly is too annoying, I can’t even see the road. I don’t want to give birth again in the future.”

The maids were taken aback and hurriedly said: “The princess must not say such things, pooh pooh, Tong Yan Wuji, just don’t count the words just now.”

“Yes, princess, today is the new year, so don’t say anything discouraged. You can bear it, and in two months, the little master will come out.”

The maids crowded Teacher Tang to speak, comforting and coaxing. Lu Yufei followed at the end, caressing his belly silently.

Lu Yufei couldn’t understand the distress mentioned by Master Tang. She couldn’t ask for it, but someone abandoned it.

This world is so unfair.

New Year’s Eve is a reunion festival, and children and grandchildren gather under the knees of the elders to celebrate the joy. There is no old concubine in the palace, and Tang Shishi is the oldest person. All day today, everyone is surrounded by Tang Shishi, guarding her with fear and fighting, and racking their brains to make Tang Shishi happy.

Waiting for the reunion banquet in the evening, several concubine rooms also came. Zhou Shunhua and several people all dressed up, wearing exquisite and gorgeous jacket skirts, with beaded and green hairpin rings on their heads, and standing or standing around a flower hall to speak with a handcrafted furnace.

There is no need to incense in the flower hall, the powder on the beauties is enough to make the hall fragrant. Master Tang looked at the jewels in front of him, then looked at himself, and sighed softly.

Master Tang sighed, and the flower hall immediately became quiet. After a while, Zhou Shunhua smiled and said, “Why does the princess sigh on a good day?”

“I envy you.” Master Tang said with a low face, “I really envy you for your light weight and ability to wear complicated hair accessories and tight-fitting clothes. Unlike me, you can only wear loose pregnancy clothes.”

Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun were stunned. Zhou Shunhua carefully looked at Master Tang’s expression, she suspected Master Tang was deliberately taunting her.

If you want to promote first, suppress, expressly criticize and praise, in a complaining tone, tell the bragging facts.

Is she complaining? In front of several concubines who have not yet given birth and are still struggling for a solid pet, complaining that they can’t wear good-looking clothes because of pregnancy?

Ah bah, shameless. They had really underestimated Master Tang before, and they didn’t expect Master Tang to be such a high-ranking, deeply thought-provoking woman, so annoying even to show off.

Zhou Shunhua smiled reluctantly, and said: “The princess’s pregnancy is a happy event. After another two months, it will be as beautiful as before.”

Master Tang looked at his arm and sighed, “I hope. I haven’t grown fat since I was a child. This is the first time I have grown so much meat.”

The women who were on a waist diet and dared not eat more at every meal were silent again. Zhou Shunhua paused for a while, and said: “The princess is naturally beautiful and naturally unusual.”

“What’s so good about this.” Master Tang put down his veil and said distressedly, “Sometimes I really envy you and you can make close friends. Unlike me, everyone just looks at my face and says they like me.”
