It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 114 acting

Cai Guogong Mansion…Tang Shishi was surprised and couldn’t help but glanced backwards. This turned out to be Zhou Shunhua’s grandmother, the old wife of the Cai Guogong Mansion Zhou Li.

When Zhou Shunhua asked to accompany him, he used his grandmother’s illness as a reason. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Master Tang happened to meet Zhou Li in the palace.

Master Tang smiled and asked Zhou Li to get up: “The old lady hurry up, please. I’m about the same age as your granddaughter. How can I be worthy of your salute?”

Zhou Li still stood upright after being completely etiquette and said: “I am in an orderly manner. I wait for the princess to ask for peace. What does it have to do with my age? I heard that my second granddaughter was in the Jing Palace. These years, There is advice from Princess Lao.”

“My business.” Master Tang smiled, and said sideways, “Concubine Zhou, aren’t you thinking about helping your grandmother, the old lady is here, what are you still waiting for?”

Zhou Shunhua stood in front of everyone’s eyes, her family in front of her, behind the pale and cold palace, the expressionless in-house servant, and Tang Shishi who was smiling but not smiling. Zhou Shunhua never felt that seeing her family was such an uncomfortable thing. She bowed her head and endured embarrassment to salute everyone: “My son, please greet my grandmother, mother, and aunt.”

Zhou Li’s eyes moved slightly when he saw Zhou Shunhua, and finally he sighed: “Since I have entered the palace, I will be able to serve my husband and mother-in-law in the future. Princess Jing, my granddaughter is stubborn. From now on, please see the princess in the face of her old body. Come on, tolerate her a lot.”

Master Tang nodded with a smile. Her eyes crossed Cai Guogong’s mansion and Zhou Shunhua, and said empathetically: “It’s rare that Concubine Concubine meets her family. Concubine Zhou, you don’t need to follow me next. Talk to your grandmother and sisters more. Don’t I will fail your filial piety.”

Zhou Li’s resignation came forward, but Tang Shishi’s attitude was very resolute. After Zhou Li’s polite sentence, he also responded. Zhou Shunhua is different from Tang Shishi. Tang Shishi can take his mother and family into the mansion at will, but Zhou Shunhua as a concubine cannot. Out of the palace, who knows when the next meeting will be.

After the reunion of Zhou Shunhua and the Gongfu by the Tang Master, based on the principle of fairness and justice, he asked Ren Yujun to go to the Anning Houfu. Master Tang shook off both tails, and he was really relieved. She had nothing to do, and didn’t want to go into the house to listen to the nonsense of those people, so she walked slowly in the imperial garden.

When she passed a rockery, she vaguely heard a voice behind her. Master Tang stopped and looked back and saw a fiery red back.

only one person?

Master Tang is not unfamiliar with this kind of clothing system. To be able to wear such a true red color in the palace, except for the queen, no one else thinks. Master Tang took the maid and walked slowly into the pavilion, and asked, “The empress?”

The people inside responded, and Master Tang saw that it was really Yao Peier, and he hurriedly saluted: “The concubine sees the queen. Niangniang, why are you here alone? Where are the people you serve?”

“They are too noisy, I want to be quiet for a while, and then send them away.” Yao Peier stared at Master Tang for a long time, and suddenly said, “I remember you. You are a beautiful girl in the second year of Shentai, don’t you? ?”

“It’s a concubine body.” Teacher Tang didn’t expect Yao Peier to remember her, and her heart was quite complicated.

“I haven’t seen many people in all these years, how can I forget it?” Yao Peier sat on the lean on the railing, slightly startled, “It’s been six years. No, it will be seven years soon.”

Today is the last day of Shentai’s seven years. After today, she has been in the palace for seven years.

After a few years of absence, Yao Peier’s mental state is even worse. Master Tang sighed slightly. When Yao Peier first entered the palace, she was only thirteen years old, young and lively, and blessed by nature. Which of these beautiful girls does not envy the queen’s fate? But as time passed, Tang Shishi and others gradually grew, but Yao Peier fell silent year after year. This huge palace is like a beast that **** human essence and blood, slowly draining Yao Peier’s youth and emotions.

When Teacher Tang left the palace, Yao Peier was depressed, and she rarely smiled. Now, she actually said to herself to the air. Yao Peier’s situation is really not good.

Yao Peier sat in the air vent, as if she couldn’t feel the cold, and asked: “I remember you went to the fief of King Jing, why did you go back to the palace again?”

Master Tang said: “The concubine serves the queen dowager’s edict, and returns to the capital to serve the queen dowager with His Royal Highness King Jing. Today, on New Year’s Eve, the concubine enters the palace to celebrate the new year for all the empresses.”

Yao Peier asked tentatively: “Who are you and Uncle Jing?”

“The concubine is the wife of King Jing.” Teacher Tang replied, “The concubine was married to King Jing last year, and it has been a year now. The empress also added makeup, and the concubine thanked the concubine here.”

Yao Peier finally remembered and murmured: “So it was you…”

Master Tang went out of the palace almost three years ago. Yao Peier recognized Master Tang’s face, knew Master Tang’s name, and heard that King Jing married a wife. But today, these three people are truly integrated.

Yao Peier leaned against the railing and stared at the shadow on the ground: “It turns out that it wasn’t going back to the palace, it was a complete release. It’s great.”

Master Tang thought that this could not be answered. The Forbidden City is a good place to wait for the world, how can we use the word “liberation”? Master Tang coughed lightly and reminded: “Empress Empress, you are the mother of a country. You are rich and prosperous and rich in the world. Every woman in the world envy you. What is there to see in the life of a concubine, which deserves your praise? ”

The mother of a country, rich in the world? Yao Peier smiled very faintly, and her voice was soft, like a puff of smoke, and disappeared in the wind without paying attention: “The world is rich, but I have never seen what the world is like. Sitting there is just a pair of clothes. That’s it.”

Master Tang seemed to be fascinated by the wind and didn’t hear what Yao Peier said. Yao Peier stayed for a while and asked, “I remember Uncle Jing is in the northwest. What does the northwest look like?”

This problem is hard to describe. Master Tang thought for a while and said, “Xiping Mansion is a little bit colder than Jinling, and the wind should be bigger. There is no rain in winter, but only snow. At most, the snow can drop more than three inches. Shady. The snow does not melt in winter, and it can only melt in the spring of the following year.”

“Three inches of snow…” Yao Peier’s eyes were surprised, staring vacantly forward, and muttered to herself, “I have never seen such a big snow. They all say that Jinling is good, but I have never seen Jinling. I have never seen Northwest.”

Seeing Master Tang was silent again, Yao Peier smiled as usual: “Isn’t it scary to see me like this? I am lonely in this palace and I can only talk to the shadow.”

After Yao Peier finished speaking, she added gently: “I am also a shadow.”

Master Tang was rather embarrassed to see Yao Peier look like this. There is no sunshine in the pavilion all the year round, and the air-conditioning almost gets into the bones of people. Master Tang gathered his clothes and said to Yao Peier: “Queen, it’s cold here, you should go home quickly. The princess and the empress dowager are in Cining Palace, I have asked you several times.”

Yao Peier lowered her head and said in a low voice: “I know. I’m leaving, so go by yourself.”

Teacher Tang stepped back and let Yao Peier leave: “The concubine sends the empress to the empress.”

Yao Peier left soon. She was obviously a queen, but she was silent like a shadow. After Master Tang sent away Yao Peier, he felt that the pavilion was desolate, and soon returned to the main hall where the banquet was held.

As soon as Master Tang entered the door, many eyes fell on her immediately. Some ladies have not met Master Tang yet, and asked the lady next to him softly: “This is…”

This woman with black hair and snow-skin, a slim figure, is surprisingly beautiful. If it is the wife in the main room of a certain family, she would never be anonymous in Jinling according to her appearance; but if it is not in the main room, how can she attend the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve?

A wife was well-informed and quietly told people around her: “Didn’t King Jing return to Beijing a few days ago. This one is King Jing’s princess.”

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Princess Jing. No wonder they hadn’t seen it before. As soon as Master Tang stood still, someone came up to greet her: “Princess Jing, my concubine greets you.”

Master Tang smiled and asked, “May I ask if Madam is…”

“The concubine’s surname is Chang, and the husband-in-law is the general political envoy Wei Bin, and now he works in the general political secretary.”

Master Tang realized that the wife of the general political envoy, Master Tang smiled and greeted: “It turned out to be Mrs. Wei. I just came here and didn’t know the people in Jinling, so my wife laughed.”

“The princess has just arrived, so naturally she can’t recognize people. Just wait a few days.” Mrs. Wei asked, “Was the princess come from Xiping Mansion, how is the journey going smoothly?”

“Everything went well.” Teacher Tang nodded lightly, “Mrs. Xie Wei is concerned.”

Another lady who looked like an official next to Mrs. Wei said: “There is King Jing escorting the princess on this road. What can you worry about? I heard that King Jing felt very sorry for the princess. He sent out scouts to clear the way for the princess. Wrapped up.”

“Nothing.” Tang Shishi retorted, “because I brought the child. The prince feels distressed that he has to hurry when he is young, and he is strictly guarded for fear of accidents on the road.”

Mrs. Wei was surprised, and asked: “The princess looks so young, do you have children?”

“That’s right.” Master Tang said with a smile, “It’s been ten months. Recently, I changed the water and soil, and I was making trouble.”

Upon hearing this, several wives taught Master Tang the secret recipe for bringing children. They saw that Master Tang was slender and skinny, but she was already the mother of a child, and they were all envious and jealous. King Jing has been away from the palace for twelve years, and the legend of the four princes in Jinling has gradually faded away. What everyone can remember is the name of the decisive battle of King Jing from the Northwest. No one knows that King Jing has made countless credits over the years, using his own power to contain the three foreign enemies of Tatar, Beiting, and Chahatai. The Northwest has formed an army of 300,000 people.

The garrison of the capital is also 300,000. However, Jinling has been in peace for a long time, and the three major battalions are full of gangsters and children. They can’t even fight the ground ruffians. How can they fight the Northwest Army? You know, the Northwest Army has been trained on the battlefield.

Such a famous vassal prince actually married a beautiful princess. I heard that the princess was sent by the Queen Mother, and it seems that the hero is really sad about the Beauty Pass, and King Jing is no exception.

After someone started, more and more people came to greet Master Tang. Teacher Tang often just finished sending a wave without taking two steps, and was stopped by a new group of people. Gradually, all the wives and wives of Jinling knew that King Jing had married an extremely beautiful princess who had given birth to children and was quite favored.

Time gradually passed, a quarter of an hour passed by the auspicious time for the banquet, and the Queen Mother Yao, Nanyang Princess and the Queen were late. The **** only sang after the Queen Mother Yao took a seat in the honorable position, and the New Year’s Eve banquet began.

Now the emperor is young and has no heirs. The first emperor Xiaozong is frail and sick, and died young, leaving no other children except the emperor. Therefore, apart from Tang Shishi, there were no other princesses present. Moreover, Zhao Chengjun is the emperor’s uncle, and Tang Shishi is of the same generation as Nanyang Princess Princess.

It stands to reason that the princess is a little higher than the princess, but how could Tang Shishi do such a stupid thing, preempting the princess Nanyang before Mrs Yao. As early as when he took the seat, Master Tang tried his best to invite the Princess Nanyang to sit in the name of being orderly.

After all, Nanyang is Zhao Chengjun’s older sister, and it is not too much to say that she is in order. The Queen Mother Yao and Yao Peier sat at the top, Princess Nanyang was the chief, and Master Tang was in the second seat.

Although the seat was one place behind the Nanyang Princess, it didn’t affect Master Tang’s attention at all.

Everyone looked at the glamorous and glorious Princess Jing under the light, and they were not surprised why King Jing would bend his waist under this skirt. These women looked at their hearts shaken, let alone men?

After all, Shishi Tang is beautiful, and they can understand that they are favored by King Jing, but after the banquet, the Queen Mother Yao also favored Shishi Tang, which made all the ladies stunned.

Not long after the banquet, Queen Mother Yao took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and raised her glass to look at Master Tang. Tang Shishi noticed, and quickly picked up the wine bottle.

The Queen Mother seemed to be full of emotions and sighed: “So many years have passed in a blink of an eye. For these years, King Jing has been stationed in the northwest to share worries for the emperor. He is a minister of the imperial court. This cup, I mourn the family and Jingjing Princess.

Master Tang quickly said: “The words of the empress dowager are bad for her concubine, and the prince is dedicated to serving the country. We can’t ask for it to serve the court.”

The Queen Mother Yao smiled and said: “King Jing has the world in his heart, and this year he is also happy with Lin’er. It’s really a happy one. Come here, bring the string of Buddhist beads from the Ai family.”

Madam Feng hesitated: “Manny, that string of beads was consecrated by the Huguo Temple to protect your blessings. You have never left your body for more than ten years, I’m afraid…”

“Get it,” said Queen Mother Yao faintly, “I’m already an old woman, so what blessings are there to accumulate. It’s better to give it to the child to protect him for a hundred years and live well. Go get it.”

Madam Feng didn’t say anything any more, and she bowed and said, “Maid slave obeys her orders.”

Everyone in the hall stopped unconsciously and watched the above scene quietly. Grandma Feng quickly fetched the prayer beads and stopped at the side of Yao’s back. Queen Mother Yao waved her hand and said, “Give it to Princess Jing. There is nothing to give away from the Ai family. Only the Buddhist beads that have been with you for many years, which are still somewhat Zen, should be left to King Jing’s little princess for protection.”

Madam Feng respectfully took the Buddha beads to Master Tang’s side. Master Tang was surprised and hurriedly said: “This is a personal thing for the empress dowager, how dare the concubine…”

“Princess Jing, there is no need to refuse.” The Queen Mother, sitting on her head, said lightly, “This is a little bit of the Aijia’s intention to be an elder, and you just accept it.”

Speaking of this level, Tang Shishi no longer knows what is good or bad if he refuses. Master Tang got up and solemnly bowed to the Queen Mother Yao: “The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for Jiaoer.”

Queen Mother Yao slowly smiled and said: “Everything in the palace is good, but there are few children. When the weather warms up, Princess Jing will often bring Xiaojun Wang into the palace. When the family is old, she likes to see young people and children. ”

Teacher Tang Fushen: “Concubine body obeys orders.”

Master Tang stood up straight, picked up the Buddhist beads from the plate, turned around and asked the maid to collect them. The maids didn’t dare to be careless, so they wrapped them in Jinpali and put them next to them.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother Yao’s words are true or false, she rewarded the son of Tang Shishi in front of everyone, which is to give King Jing and Tang Shishi decent. The ladies at the banquet watched, envious and sighed.

The things in the palace are rewards no matter what they miss, but rewards are different from rewards. The closer you get to the upper person, the more favored you are. The emperor gave his unfinished dishes to his ministers, which was regarded as a good word for the monarch and his ministers to have one heart. The queen mother Yao gave the Buddha beads that she had worn for more than ten years to the son of Master Tang.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that Master Tang was unfathomable. She captured King Jing, not to mention, even the Queen Mother of Yao had added to her cronies. You know, King Jing and Queen Mother Yao have old hatreds.

Sure enough, people can’t look at themselves, and sea water can’t be measured. I didn’t expect that the one who looked the most stupid among the show girls at the beginning was the one with the deepest scheming and the highest means. At the same time that the women were amazed, their inner jealousy towards Master Tang also became stronger.

This female acting skill is so perfect that she is really terrifying!
