It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 52 Blizzard

At night, Cuckoo came to deliver tea and saw Master Tang still holding a book, sitting under the lamp, writing and painting.

Dujuan put down the tea, picked up the light switch, walked to the table and lit the wick, jokingly said: “Usually the girl always complains that she is tired from copying books, and she doesn’t want to read a word after she comes back. Why did she change her temper today, it’s so late? Still reading?”

Master Tang turned a page and glanced at Du Juan, “Do your thing, don’t be pestle here.”

Du Juan smiled: “I know, this is different from the past. In the past, the girl felt bored in the house and kept the slave and maidservant for fun. Now that there is the book of the prince, the slave and maid will naturally become an eye-catcher. The slave and maid are guilty, so go out quickly.

“Less poor mouth.” Tang Shishi rolled up the book, pretending to hit the cuckoo. Cuckoo put down the lampshade and hurriedly smiled and escaped. There was a burst of laughter from the maid outside. Master Tang was too lazy to care about them. She put the book away and shouted: “Close the outside windows. I don’t know which one is not closed tightly. It squeaks and squeaks. It upsets me. ”

The maids hurried to check the windows. Master Tang took a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, and said casually: “Why is there such a strong wind today?”

The maidservants tightened the windows, and heard the words of Master Tang, the maidservant continued: “Perhaps it is going to snow.”

With fruit in his mouth, Master Tang nodded subconsciously, but he didn’t take it seriously. She lives in the palace, she doesn’t go out and doesn’t drive, and it doesn’t affect her much if it snows. Teacher Tang just thought in his heart that the road is not easy to walk when it snows, and the maid will have to prepare her deerskin platform boots tomorrow.

Master Tang had also studied the Four Books before, but that kind of learning was more like memorizing and memorizing. This was the first time someone had commented and explained to her. Teacher Tang was a little fascinated unknowingly, because of this incident, she rarely checked the plot before going to bed.

The next day, Master Tang went to copy the book as usual. The weather was gloomy, the clouds were very low, and the wind was swift and strong. Master Tang was sitting in a warm study room with a heater at his feet, and tea and fruit not far away, as if the wind outside had nothing to do with her. Master Tang was reading a book while eating the peeled nuts. Whenever he didn’t understand, he would draw a picture, and then he would ask Zhao Chengjun after a while.

This was what he said himself, but it was not a request from Master Tang. Master Tang thought that she wouldn’t be in vain, anyway, she had to pass the time, so she might as well bring a person to accompany her.

After noon, Master Tang saw that there were few people, so he took a book and went to find Zhao Chengjun. After reading her newly copied article, Zhao Chengjun said: “It’s much stronger than yesterday, anyhow there are no typos. Do you understand today’s content?”

Master Tang nodded honestly: “Yes.”

Zhao Chengjun said helplessly, “You are really honest. What do you not understand?”

Teacher Tang pointed out a few notes in turn, Zhao Chengjun wrote a paraphrase beside her handwriting, saying: “This sentence is nonsense. You don’t need to read them, just remember the original sentence of the four books. Here we use the allusions of the predecessors… …”

Zhao Chengjun explained it sentence by sentence, and Tang Shishi seemed to understand some things, and it was very difficult to listen. Seeing her slow response, Zhao Chengjun knocked on her forehead with hatred of iron and steel, “I just said it yesterday, but you forgot today. What are you thinking about every day, why don’t you think about reading?”

Master Tang held his forehead aggrievedly and said, “You can’t make a fat man in one bite. How can I remember every sentence after you have said so much? I’ve been listening for a long time, and I’m tired. Let’s take a break.”

Zhao Chengjun glanced at the Xiangzhu, and said coldly: “It’s less than half an hour, sit down, and read this chapter well.”

Teacher Tang ignored Zhao Chengjun’s words, she stood up with a squeak, and walked around the room freely: “It’s not good for your waist to sit for too long. Hey, it’s snowing outside.”

Master Tang opened the window, but didn’t pay attention for a moment, and the outside world had become silvery white. Master Tang exclaimed, and stretched out his hand to pick up the snow particles in the wind: “It’s so heavy snow. It’s already February, so there will be such a heavy snow.”

Few people in the world dare to ignore Zhao Chengjun’s words. Unfortunately, Master Tang is one of them. He had said not to move, but in the end Master Tang didn’t hear it at all, and he even pretended to open the window to watch the snow. Zhao Chengjun was helpless, but Tang Shishi was not a subordinate of his ministers, he couldn’t fight or scold him, so he could only go with her.

Master Tang stood in front of the window and looked at the snow. She was wearing a white gown today, with the hem pressed down to her knees, and a light blue horse face with golden gilt appeared at the bottom. She has a light dress, standing in the room shining brightly. The window, the snow scene, she is like a carefully matched painting.

Zhao Chengjun watched for a while and walked slowly to the window. Zhao Chengjun looked at the turbulent and undiminished snow outside, and suddenly remembered one thing: “How long has it been snowing?”

Master Tang was playing with Snow. Hearing this, he looked back at Zhao Chengjun strangely: “It shouldn’t be long. What’s wrong?”

This is a very common sentence at first, Ruixue is a good year, isn’t it a good thing to have heavy snow? But Zhao Chengjun’s face changed suddenly. He silently watched the heavy snow drifting in front of him, turned around abruptly, and said loudly, “Liu Ji.”

Liu Ji responded, and quickly appeared in the room: “The slave is here. Lord, what do you want?”

“Immediately send a letter to Nanshan Zhuangzi, asking them if Zhao Zixun has set off today and when he will set off.”

As soon as Liu Ji heard this, his expression became serious, and he said sternly: “Yes.”

After Liu Ji finished speaking, he hurried out to make arrangements, and Tang Shishi slowly reacted. Yes, the Ruixue Zhaofeng Year is for local farmers, and for those on the road, encountering heavy snow is not a good thing.

In particular, the snow began to fall in mid-day, and Zhao Zixun was most likely already on the road, and was just halfway between the village and the shop. It’s okay for the snow to stop quickly. If this momentum continues, Zhao Zixun can’t advance well, can’t retreat, and it will be troublesome to be stuck on the road.

Prince Jing’s Mansion specializes in flying birds. In order to spread the news as soon as possible this time, Liu Ji released an eagle out. When it was getting dark, the news came back.

The people in Zhuangzi said that the elder son left Zhou Meiren on Zhuangzi and set off with the eldest concubine early this morning.

Zhao Zixun accompanied Lu Yufei to the Guangji Temple to worship the Buddha, and by the way, he sent Zhou Shunhua to Zhuangzi for self-cultivation. Nanshan Zhuangzi was about half a day away from Xiping Mansion. The Jingwang Mansion team and Xi’s family met in Xiping Mansion. Then Zhao Zixun sent Zhou Shunhua to Nanshan first, and arranged for everyone to repair on Zhuangzi for one night. Waiting for the next day, Zhou Shunhua Staying, Zhao Zixun and other female relatives continued on the road.

I never thought, I encountered a blizzard today. The snow began at noon, and it was spilt all afternoon without stopping, and it even tended to become bigger and bigger. When the flying eagle who sent the letter came back, the snow in the Jing Palace was already three inches thick.

This is still in the palace. After all, there are towers in the city to block it. If it is in the wilderness, wouldn’t the wind and snow be even greater?

The atmosphere in the study was very heavy, and Master Tang returned to his room early. The maids held their hands for warmth and complained to Master Tang: “It was fine in the morning, why did it suddenly snow? It was windy and snowy outside, and it was dark everywhere. It was scary.”

Master Tang was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the night outside: “The sky is already dark, and there is no way to hurry. Have they found a place to live?”

Not only Tang Shishi was worried, but the others in the Jing Palace were also worried. It is most taboo to encounter wind and snow when driving, and staying in the wilderness in heavy snow, not to mention jackals, cold wind alone can freeze people to death. What’s worse is that it is easy to get lost in the wind and snow. If you can’t find a place to stay in time, wait until night, no matter how well-equipped the team can resist.

Master Tang sighed, she forgot to watch the plot yesterday, but she just missed today’s snow. If she had known that there would be Blizzard, she could send a letter to Zhuangzi early today to keep the world from going out.

But she didn’t see it. When she found out, the plot was irretrievable.

The chapter about the wind and snow in the book has not been updated yet, and it can be seen that the relevant plot has not yet finished. Teacher Tang waited anxiously, and finally fell asleep guarding the book in a daze. Early the next morning, before dawn, Master Tang was awakened in a spirit.

She opened her eyes, the curtains were lying around, the soup woman at the foot of the bed was still warm, everything was dizzy. It seemed that it was still very early, and the maids did not wake up. Master Tang quietly opened a gap in the bed net and looked out the window.

There was a snow-white light on the window paper, but the sound of the wind was quiet, and the chirping of birds was heard from outside. Master Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and the snow finally stopped.

Master Tang hurriedly flipped through the book. She was too sleepy last night and fell asleep before the plot was updated. Now she doesn’t know how far she has progressed.

When Master Tang opened the latest page, the first thing that caught his eye was a line of words: “A sunny villa was demoted, and a windy and snowy night saved people and made meritorious deeds.”

Teacher Tang immediately gave birth to a bad hunch, and after reading it, his inner feelings became more and more complicated.

The heroine halo is really something that can’t be more real.

This chapter reveals two pieces of news. The good news is that Zhao Zixun is still alive, and the bad news is that this is again Zhou Shunhua’s credit.

Zhou Shunhua was sent to Zhuangzi. The next day, Lu Yufei triumphantly and hypocritically comforted Zhou Shunhua with a few words, and went on the road with Mrs. Xi and Yunchu Xi. Facts have proved that there will be no end to the show in front of the heroine. Lu Yufei and his group encountered a blizzard on the way. Zhao Zixun intends to return to the villa, but Lu Yufei is reluctant. If you go back now, wouldn’t it be another opportunity for Zhao Zixun and Zhou Shunhua?

Of course, Lu Yufei refused. She suggested that she had already walked halfway and might as well continue to move forward and find shelter in front of her. As a result, the convoy walked with Blizzard for a long time, and it was too late to see the village station. Zhao Zixun saw that the situation was wrong and ordered to withdraw.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t see the direction in the wind and snow, and they got lost.

On the other hand, after Zhou Shunhua was assigned to the villa, he did not complain about himself, but was actively familiar with the new environment. After she had lunch, she saw lead clouds in the sky, as if it was going to snow, she didn’t know why she thought of Zhao Zixun. Zhou Shunhua asked people to go outside to check the road signs that led the way. As expected, there was a heavy snowfall soon behind.

Zhou Shunhua didn’t see Zhao Zixun and others returning until the evening. Everyone on Zhuangzi felt that the elder son had arrived at the next lodging point, but Zhou Shunhua was instinctively wrong. Regardless of everyone’s obstruction, she wanted to go outside to find someone, and also took the old servant who knew the road most in the villa. There were so many guard soldiers around Zhao Zixun, who couldn’t find his way after tossing for a long time. As a result, Zhou Shunhua casually looked for it, and he happened to meet Zhao Zixun.

Probably this is the charm of the heroine halo. Master Tang couldn’t help but think darkly when Zhou Shunhua was looking for someone, and there was a heavy snowfall around him, and there was nothing around him. If the old servant became wicked and murdered Zhou Shunhua, wouldn’t it be impossible to go to heaven? No way into the ground?

Perhaps this is the reason why Master Tang can’t be a heroine. Her heart is gloomy, and she likes to think of others as gloomy.

However, in the story of the heroine, Zhou Shunhua did not encounter any danger. She took the old servant and descended from the sky to point out a clear way for the embarrassed royal family. She and the old servant led the way, tossing till midnight, finally brought Zhao Zixun and his party back to Nanshan Villa.

At the end of the chapter, the embarrassment of Lu Yufei, Madam Xi and others contrasted Zhou Shunhua’s bravery and wit. From the villa to the team, everyone praised Zhou Shunhua for his intelligence and courage.

Master Tang closed the book, once again there was nothing to say.

She spent a lot of time reading, and the sound of people walking was heard outside the house. Master Tang hid the book, lifted the curtain and got out of bed.

Du Juan and others heard Master Tang wake up and hurried in to wait on them. Dujuan washes his face while serving Master Tang, busy in his hands, and refuses to be idle: “Girl, with the latest news, Shizi, Shizifei and others have returned to Nanshan Mountain Villa.”

This is what Feiying passed back in the middle of the night. After the door was opened this morning, the news leaked from the outer courtyard back to the inner house. After Du Juan heard this, he hurried to share it with Master Tang, but Master Tang only responded indifferently.

Du Juan deliberately sold a pass, waiting for Master Tang to be surprised, but the reaction of Master Tang was very cold. Du Juan was surprised and asked: “Girl, don’t you wonder how the eldest son and concubine came back?”

Obviously yesterday, Master Tang had been paying attention to the wind and snow outside, and couldn’t even sleep well.

Teacher Tang asked perfunctorily: “How did they come back?”

Du Juan added extra energy and jealousy to tell the story of Zhou Shunhua’s bravely rushing into the snow to Master Tang. Master Tang heard no fluctuations. Although the details are somewhat different, the general plot is the same as in the book. It seems that what the heavenly book says is not bad.

Master Tang’s mood has become even more heavy. Since the appearance of the scriptures, Master Tang has worked hard and has never forgotten to reverse the plot and change his own destiny. However, the plot still follows the original trajectory, and the details may be different, but the general direction has never changed.

She wanted to **** Zhou Shunhua’s role and change Zhao Zixun’s dislike of her. As a result, Zhou Shunhua still became Zhao Zixun’s maid and concubine, and Zhao Zixun still treated Tang Shishi coldly.

All her efforts were in vain, and even because of her active participation, Zhao Zixun hated her even deeper. Does this mean that no matter how hard Tang Master works, he can’t change his established death ending?

She can only be confined to the plot, waiting in vain for death.

Teacher Tang was low and didn’t want to speak for a long time. Du Juan talked a lot, and when he turned his head, he saw Master Tang wiping his fingers in silence. After Dujuan realized that something was wrong, she did not dare to say any more, and silently shut her mouth.

After dressing up, Du Juan served Master Tang to breakfast. A little **** walked quickly from outside and called Master Tang a thousand words, saying: “Miss Tang, the prince has orders, you don’t need to go to the study today.”

“Oh?” Master Tang put down the dishes and asked, “Why?”

“The road to Nanshan is trapped by snow. The prince is going to Qingxue and picking up his son. He will not be in the mansion for these two days.”

Zhao Chengjun is going to Nanshan for rescue…Tang Shishi reacted abruptly and asked, “When will the prince leave?”

“Just now.”

Master Tang threw down his chopsticks, and it was too late to eat. He quickly said to the eunuch: “Go and report to the prince, and I will accompany you. Dujuan, quickly change my clothes.”
