It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 106 Suspicion

Shishi Tang returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the second door, he saw the maid beside Zhao Zigao waiting at the door. Master Tang shook his heart, and hurriedly raised the curtain of the car to ask: “Gao’er is awake?”

The maid saw that Master Tang was back, and ran all the way to the car, saying: “Yes. The king of the county has woke up and is clamoring to find the princess.”

Teacher Tang was anxious when she heard that, as soon as the carriage stopped steadily, she quickly got out of the carriage carrying her skirt. Unexpectedly, the horse leaped forward abruptly before standing still. Master Tang stood on the edge of the car and suddenly slipped under her feet, and she almost fell off the car.

The maids were taken aback and yelled in panic: “Be careful, princess!”

But the maids were also female relatives, wearing skirts, but couldn’t run through them in a hurry. Zhao Zixun was arranging the reins. He heard the scream behind him turning his head and saw Master Tang standing on the edge of the carriage, crumbling. Zhao Zixun’s heart jumped, and he subconsciously strode forward, holding Master Tang’s arm: “Be careful!”

Zhao Zixun realized what was wrong after holding Master Tang’s arm. Master Tang was his nominal aunt. He was still very young and beautiful. He had a few mothers and strong children, so he should avoid taboos. But just now, he was just as fascinated as a ghost. Before his mind could react, he stepped forward and held Master Tang.

There were many maids around watching that Zhao Zixun was distracted by such an emergency. Zhao Zixun had always kept a distance from Master Tang because of Zhao Chengjun. This was the first time he touched Master Tang’s body.

She was so slender and wore so many clothes in winter, but Zhao Zixun could encircle Master Tang’s arm with one hand. The steps on her temples shook Zhao Zixun’s ears, making a jingle. The beads on the stepping seemed to rub Zhao Zixun’s ears. The jade beads were warm and cool, like the spices on her body. They were light and deep. The hookers couldn’t help searching to find out where the fragrance originated.

Zhao Zixun was slightly stunned. He clearly knew that many people were watching. He should immediately let go of Master Tang, step away from him, and without a trace, show that he was just out of filial piety, and to put aside his position. But Zhao Zixun didn’t know what was going on, his body reaction was extremely slow, and he couldn’t recover for a long time.

Zhao Zixun was stunned, her palms suddenly loosened. Master Tang broke away from Zhao Zixun’s hand, didn’t even look at Zhao Zixun, and ran to the inner courtyard carrying the skirt: “Where is Gao’er? How long has he been awake?”

The scene just now took place between electric light and flint. The maids only saw that the princess almost fell off the carriage, and the elder son helped him, and soon the princess withdrew his arm, and the elder son returned to look like a gentleman. The maids were terrified to see Master Tang still running: “Wang Hao, be careful, the little princess’s wife Ji Niang watched, and didn’t cry.”

But where Master Tang could hear it, she didn’t pay attention to her surroundings at all, and hurried back to the main courtyard as quickly as possible. As soon as she entered the door, she asked anxiously: “Where’s Gu’er?”

“See the princess.” The nurse and the maid saluted when Master Tang came back. Because my aunt took Zhao Zigao out, he smiled and said: “The princess is not anxious, the little princess is here. The princess is very obedient and didn’t cry all afternoon.”

Master Tang hugged Zhao Zigao and felt relieved when he touched his small round hands and feet. Zhao Zigao immediately became active after seeing Master Tang, babbling, babbling, and babbling. Master Tang hugged him and sat on the bed and asked the nurse about the child: “When did he wake up? Has he been breastfeeding?”

“Shen Shixing is already fed.”

Master Tang asked a few more questions and slowly settled down. Zhao Zigao was already able to crawl now, his hands and feet were neat, he saw Master Tang’s steps dangling behind him, yelled twice, and reached out to reach Master Tang’s steps.

Zhao Zixun followed Tang Shishi and entered the room, Tang Shishi and the nurse asked questions, he couldn’t intervene, and it was not easy to leave without saying goodbye, so he could only wait quietly. For some reason, Zhao Zixun’s eyes fell on Master Tang’s steps, and even recalled the gentle touch just now.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zixun saw it when Zhao Zigao moved. He felt tight and quickly said: “Wang Hao, be careful of his hands.”

Master Tang turned his head and saw Zhao Zigao grabbing her step, and quickly stopped his hand. Master Tang patted Zhao Zigao’s little hand lightly, and groaned: “Do you dare to scratch my hair if you don’t have a long memory? Believe it or not, I will tell your father and let him take care of you?”

Zhao Zigao seemed to have understood Master Tang’s words, his momentum was obviously withered, and his grape-like eyes looked at Master Tang pitifully. The maids laughed when they saw it: “The little princess is afraid of the prince. When he mentions the prince, he is quiet.”

Master Tang also couldn’t help but squeeze Zhao Zigao’s chubby face gently: “Bullying soft and hard, you know you are bullying me.”

Zhao Zixun watched this scene quietly. It was obvious that Tang Shishi was sitting not far away, but he felt that he was far away. Master Tang and Zhao Zigao seemed to be in another world. Zhao Zixun could look at it, but couldn’t touch it, and couldn’t blend in at all.

The maids pleaded with Zhao Zigao when they saw it, and in a joke, Zhao Chengjun came back from outside. Zhao Chengjun was thinking about things in his heart, but didn’t pay attention to his surroundings. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Zixun standing in the room, staring at Master Tang intently, and his heart slammed.

Zhao Chengjun didn’t know why he had this emotion, but this sense of rejection was so urgent and fierce that Zhao Chengjun couldn’t ignore it. Zhao Chengjun stepped outside the door, and the maid at the door turned around to see Zhao Chengjun, and hurriedly saluted: “See the prince!”

The voice of the maid awakened everyone in the room. Seeing Zhao Chengjun’s return, everyone greeted everyone: “My lord is blessed.”

Master Tang also put down the child and got up to salute: “Lord.”

Zhao Chengjun suppressed the emotion in an instant, he calmly walked into the room, glanced at the things on the floor, and asked, “What is this?”

Master Tang replied: “The Queen Mother asked me to enter the palace tomorrow to ask for peace. I was afraid that the clothes I brought were different from those in Jinling, so I went to the clothing store and bought a few sets.”

This is nothing to Zhao Chengjun. King Jing’s family has a big business and a few sets of clothes are not money in Zhao Chengjun’s eyes. When Zhao Zigao saw Zhao Chengjun, he happily clapped his hands on the collapse, flopping his hands and feet to let Zhao Chengjun hug him. Zhao Chengjun leaned over, caught Zhao Zigao, and hugged him firmly in his arm: “You are getting more and more solid, right?”

“Yes.” Teacher Tang grinned and sat beside Zhao Chengjun, complaining, “He can crawl everywhere now, and he can climb to the bedside if he doesn’t pay attention. It’s very uneasy.”

Liu Ji interrupted and said: “The little princess is in good health and he is one step faster than the other children in everything. According to the old slave, it will not take long for the princess to walk.”

Teacher Tang had a headache just thinking about it. Zhao Zixun can crawl so noisy now. If he learns to walk on his own, wouldn’t it be impossible to live in peace for a moment? When Zhao Chengjun heard this, he showed a thoughtful look. He put Zhao Zigao on the collapse, holding his hand, and said: “You are almost a fat man, don’t be held by others, stand by yourself for a while.”

Zhao Zigao’s legs and feet are developing very well, and he is supported by Zhao Chengjun at this moment, and he can really stand firmly. Zhao Zigao looked at Zhao Chengjun curiously, and Zhao Chengjun motioned him to go in the direction of Master Tang: “Go by yourself and find your mother.”

Master Tang clapped his hands, and Wen Sheng said to Zhao Zigao: “Come here to my mother.”

The maids gathered around to cheer together. Zhao Zigao saw Master Tang, his eyes brightened, his calf kicked and replaced, and he actually walked over with Zhao Chengjun’s support. Finally, Zhao Zigao kicked his fat leg and rushed towards Master Tang.

The maids clapped together, yelled and laughed. Master Tang hurriedly caught Zhao Zigao and happily picked him up: “Guo’er is great, and he can walk.”

Zhao Zigao was lifted up by his mother and giggled happily, revealing his four front teeth. Zhao Zigao is no longer just born. Once he was excited, Master Tang couldn’t hold his arms. Zhao Chengjun hurriedly protected Teacher Tang and said, “Be careful. He is not too heavy now, don’t hurt your waist.”

When Zhao Zixun looked at the interactive screen between Zhao Chengjun and Zhao Zigao, he felt more and more out of place.

As if the three talents in front of him belonged to one family, he was just an outsider. In fact, he is really an outsider.

Seeing that Zhao Zixun didn’t say anything, one of his parents was afraid that he would leave the son in the cold, and said quickly: “If the son sees the child likes it, then give birth to one as soon as possible. When the two children start running at home next year,

That’s fun. ”

After Wincane finished speaking, the atmosphere was delicate for a moment. Master Tang smiled and said, “Yes, Aunt Zhou has been pregnant for four months, right? After another six months, there will be another child in the Fuzhong. I said before that whoever is pregnant will be the side. Concubine, it has been four months since Auntie Zhou. It stands to reason that the fetal image is stable and there will be no danger. Just taking advantage of the holiday, let’s hold Auntie Zhou’s canonization banquet together.”

Unlike the princess, the concubine of the eldest son does not need to inform the Ministry of Rites at all, just have a meal at home. Although the ceremony is simple, Master Tang is not a good person after all. Of course, she said these words with a purpose.

Once they returned to the capital, Zhou Shunhua always went to see the people from the Cai Guogong’s mansion, and both sides looked good when they were sealed as side concubines; secondly, with Zhou Shunhua’s spirit, she would never be idle after returning to Jinling.

Teacher Tang now pushes her so that Zhou Shunhua can cause trouble faster and better.

The more Zhou Shunhua calculates and the more favourable Zhao Zixun is, the more disappointed Zhao Chengjun will be with them. When the time comes, Master Tang will push his son to the top, and it will be a matter of course.

Zhao Chengjun frowned slightly when he heard these words, but did not speak. He actually didn’t agree. Zhou Shunhua was a woman with mixed appearances, tactics, and a liar. If it weren’t for Zhao Zixun’s face, Zhao Chengjun would have executed this woman long ago. Keeping her life is already Zhao Chengjun’s bottom line, and she should be called a side concubine?

Zhao Chengjun disagrees. But now is different, he has to consider the current situation to some extent. In Xiping Mansion, Cai Guogong’s mansion was far less useful than Lu’s family, so Zhao Chengjun escorted Zhao Zixun and Lu Yukao to get married. Now in Jinling, Zhou’s family can use it for a purpose.

So although Zhao Chengjun disagreed, he also acquiesced. It is fine for Zhao Chengjun not to speak, but Zhao Zixun is quite flattered, and the surname is busy for ten examinations for the princess. “An, after I go back, I will definitely remind her so that she will do her best to honor the princess.”

Master Tang smiled: “It’s enough for the elder to have this heart. Concubine Zhou is pregnant now and will be in labor next June. She is uncomfortable. How can she serve me? I have no shortage of people here. Let Concubine Zhou be well. Raise, giving birth to a child safely in June is the greatest filial piety to me.”

Teacher Tang kept reminding the time that Zhou Shunhua is now “pregnant” for four months, and he should give birth in June next year. It is normal for ordinary people to give birth ten days and eight days late, but two or three months late, then it’s not justified, right? Zhao Zixun also had a headache when he heard about the due date, but Zhou Shunhua is his own woman, what can he do? Zhao Zixun can only bite the bullet and help Zhou Shunhua cover up: “Thank you, the princess for your concern, I will let her pay attention.”

Zhao Chengjun has been listening silently, and then suddenly asked: “Why do you call her the princess?”

Zhao Zixun and his servants were stunned. Zhao Zixun hesitated and asked: “Otherwise, how should I be honored?”

Zhao Chengjun’s tone was faint, and he couldn’t hear any thoughts, and said, “She is my wife, you should call her mother.”

Zhao Chengjun’s tone was calm, but Master Tang didn’t recognize the clue, he blurted out: “No, my mother called me old.”

Zhao Chengjun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Master Tang lightly: “Do you think I am old?”

“No.” Master Tang was suddenly depressed, and reluctantly changed his words, “That’s okay, just scream if you want.”

Teacher Tang didn’t know why, but Zhao Zixun heard something wrong. Zhao Chengjun never does anything for no reason. He never said this casually.

Zhao Zixun didn’t guess Zhao Chengjun’s intentions, but he instinctively gave a chill in his back.

Zhao Zixun and Zhao Chengjun have been together for eleven years, and have a deep experience of Zhao Chengjun’s cruelty and unfeeling. Zhao Chengjun said this, does it mean that he is susceptible to him?

why? Is it because of a young and beautiful woman? Back then, Diao Chan was able to separate Dong Zhuo and Lubu’s entire interest group on his own, but now that he is replaced by Tang Shishi, Zhao Chengjun is also inevitable?

Zhao Zixun couldn’t tell whether he was afraid or disappointed. He lowered his eyes and said respectfully: “The princess is my father’s wife, and naturally my mother. If my father likes it, the son and minister can change his words.”

Teacher Tang was obviously reluctant, Zhao Chengjun saw it and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Master Tang said dumbly, “I like to hear people call me the princess.”

Women love to be young. Who wants to listen to a man about the same age as one’s own mother? It sounds like an old mother.

Zhao Chengjun sighed, he wasn’t necessarily going to make a fuss about the address, he just didn’t know what was wrong, and suddenly cared about these details. Zhao Chengjun relaxed his words and said, “Fine, I just thought of it. I just mentioned it casually, and I didn’t have any other intentions. Everything is fine.”

Zhao Zixun should be, but he didn’t believe it at all. Zhao Chengjun said that he had no other intentions and just mentioned it casually, but who would believe it?

Sure enough, he was beating himself. Those people are right. No matter how nice Zhao Chengjun’s words are, once he has his own son, he will still prefer his own heirs.

The words Zhao Chengjun said earlier were just to stabilize Zhao Zixun and continue to use him. Zhao Zixun sneered in his heart, and on the surface respectfully, he saluted Zhao Chengjun and Tang Shishi and retire slowly.

The maid sent Zhao Zixun out. After Zhao Zixun walked out of the main courtyard, the ghost asked, “What spice does the princess always use?”

“What?” The maid was stunned, and did not keep up with the rhythm. “The princess doesn’t need spices. The little princess is crawling around now, and he has to taste everything when he sees it. The princess is afraid that the incense burner will burn the princess and let us remove the incense. gone.”

“So that’s it.” Zhao Zixun smiled at the maid, and said politely, “Thank you.”

Zhao Zixun was very handsome, and the maid fainted when she saw Shizi smile softly at her. Zhao Zixun was accustomed to seeing a woman’s gaze. On the surface, he was a gentleman, but there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he turned away indifferently.

After walking for a while, Zhao Zixun muttered in a low voice, “Don’t you need incense?”

Where did the smell he smelled today come from? At this time, Zhao Zixun suddenly remembered that when he was in Nanshan Villa a year ago, Zhao Zixun went to Zhou Shunhua, and when he pushed the door, he accidentally ran into Master Tang dressing up after the bath. At that time, this quiet fragrance was floating in the room.

It turned out to be her body fragrance.

In the main courtyard, Master Tang dismissed the maid, and while playing with Zhao Zigao, he talked to Zhao Chengjun: “Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the queen mother, Zhao Zigao will not take it. If the person in the palace asks, he will say that he is not satisfied with the water and soil, and is unwell. palace.”

Zhao Chengjun thinks the same way. Children are fragile and enter the palace full of uncertainty. Zhao Chengjun has been away from Beijing for twelve years, and many people in the palace are alienated. If something really happens, he may not be able to take care of it.

Zhao Chengjun said: “Okay, let Liu Ji look at him in the palace tomorrow, and I will accompany you into the palace.”

“No.” Master Tang hugged Zhao Zigao, who had climbed to the edge of the bed, and said, “Today the queen mother only said that I was allowed to enter the palace alone. If the prince go with me, I am afraid the queen mother will be unhappy. After all, I live in Chuxiu Palace. For three years, it’s not that I don’t know the road in the palace. It’s okay to be alone.”

Zhao Chengjun is still uneasy, but there are some things that can be done. Both he and Master Tang knew that the empress dowager Yao announced that Master Tang would enter the palace, and the real purpose was to beat Master Tang and talk about it. If Zhao Chengjun followed, there would be no way to say these things.

In this way, it will make the Queen Mother Yao suspicious instead, it is better to go openly, not only to calm the heart of the Queen Mother, but also to win a buffer of time for herself.

Neither Zhao Chengjun nor Tang Shishi clarified these things. Zhao Chengjun felt like Xuedong in his heart. Even if he was uneasy, he had no choice but to agree at this moment: “Okay. You must be careful. If you are in danger, don’t worry about your face and get out. palace.”

“I know.” Tang Shishi smiled, “It’s not a secret that we are entering Beijing. The empress mother personally announced that I am entering the palace. What can I do? The queen mother will definitely send me out of the palace all the way, and the prince can rest assured. ”

Of course Zhao Chengjun understands this truth, but he understands it, and when it’s his turn to be on the cusp of his heart, he just can’t rest assured. Zhao Chengjun said: “Tomorrow I will go to the official department and the clan’s mansion. The clan’s mansion is not far from the palace. I will pick you up at the palace gate at noon.”

“No.” Tang said, “You have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so there is no need to run for me in vain. The road from the palace gate to the palace is not far, and I will be enough to come back by myself.”

Zhao Chengjun shook his head. Although he didn’t say anything, he was very determined. Master Tang couldn’t persuade him and didn’t move anymore. She suddenly blinked slyly and asked Zhao Chengjun with a smile: “Master, do you guess who I met today?”

Zhao Chengjun was taken aback, thinking that she had been out of the house this afternoon to buy clothes in a clothing store. In the clothing store combined with the tone of Master Tang, Zhao Chengjun had already guessed who it was, but he pretended not to know, and asked cooperatively: “Who is it?”

“Tang Yanyan.” Teacher Tang raised his chin, smiling, “I met my deceased as soon as I entered Jinling. It’s really happy. Today these clothes are all my good sister paid.”

Zhao Chengjun’s eyes narrowed slightly. He scanned the boxes piled from the cabinets to the ground, and slowly raised his eyebrows: “Is it someone else’s money?”

“Yeah.” Teacher Tang was very happy and happily shared with Zhao Chengjun the happiness of pitting people. “It’s the **** if you have the advantage. If I say something casually, she will rush to be taken advantage of. Oh, deserve it.”

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t understand the happiness of Master Tang. He looked at the clothes on the ground and sighed inwardly. He thought these were bought by Master Tang, but it turned out that someone else paid the bill. Zhao

Chengjun was a prince when he was born. He became a prince at the age of ten. He has never let anyone else pay for him wherever he is.

Not to mention, Master Tang is still his wife. Zhao Chengjun asked: “Where does your second sister live?”

“Qi family.” Master Tang looked at him unclearly, “What do you ask this for?”

Zhao Chengjun choked and swallowed the rest of the words. He originally wanted to take Master Tang to visit Tang Yanyan, and casually repay Tang Yanyan the money for the clothes. He just wanted to return the gift, but actually forgot, Tang Yanyan replaced Tang Master’s marriage and married Qi Jingsheng.

Forget it, Zhao Chengjun silently gave up this plan. The next day, he will let Liu Ji come to pay the courtesy. The money can be paid back, so people don’t need to go.

Zhao Chengjun looked at Zhao Zigao, who was heartless and crawling all over the bed, and sighed in his heart. How did he forget that not only the Yao family, the Guo family, and the cabinet are in Jinling, but Qi Jingsheng is also there.

It’s really troublesome.
