It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 56 Good night

Master Tang’s eyes widened, she pointed to herself, and couldn’t say anything: “Me? And Zhou Shunhua?”

Zhao Chengjun nodded slightly: “That’s right.”

Master Tang’s apricot eyes were round, she looked at Zhao Chengjun, and Zhao Chengjun looked back at her calmly like that. Master Tang grinds her teeth silently. It’s not a secret that she and Zhou Shunhua didn’t deal with it. Master Tang didn’t know Zhao Chengjun’s disbelief. She was sure that this person was deliberate!

Just because Master Tang scolded him for being narcissistic, he deliberately asked Master Tang to stay with her dead opponent and disgusted her. But knowing what can be done, Master Tang reluctantly bowed his head, gritted his teeth and said, “Thank you, Lord.”

“No thanks.” Zhao Chengjun smiled and said casually, “By the way, tomorrow is not dawn, you’d better get up early, if you missed it, you can enjoy the rural scenery in the villa with your good sister. .”

Master Tang’s eyebrows beat and he endured it. She believed Zhao Chengjun, this person can really do such a thing.

Master Tang dared not say anything. He raised his head and smiled and said to Zhao Chengjun: “Thank you, the prince is compassionate, and the little girl will remember it in your heart. I wish the prince a happy wife in advance, and wish the prince and the princess have a good relationship for a hundred years, and the children and grandchildren will be full.”

Tang Shishi secretly cursed in his heart, the wicked have their own wicked torment, and he deserves to marry Xi Yunchu. From now on, people like Xi Yunchu should keep torturing him and let him know why they can’t offend women.

However, no matter how loud the curse was in Master Tang’s heart, he finally had to hold the quilt and go to Zhou Shunhua in a desperate manner. Master Tang walked to the door of Zhou Shunhua and resisted the embarrassing knock on the door. As soon as the door opened, Master Tang immediately looked up at the sky, and asked in a flat voice, “There is no room outside. Is it convenient for you to add one person here?”

Zhou Shunhua opened the door and found it was Tang Shishi, so he was stunned. She was separated from Master Tang by a threshold, and it took a relatively short while before she finally realized: “Naturally convenient, please come in, Miss Tang.”

Zhou Shunhua stepped aside half of his body, and Tang Master thanked him stupidly, holding the quilt and entering the room. Zhou Shunhua really didn’t expect Master Tang to come to her. After she let the way go, she hurried to pack her things.

“Girl Tang is surprised, I didn’t know you were coming, and didn’t clean up the house. Girl Tang will be a moment later.”

Zhou Shunhua quickly cleaned up the bed, and Master Tang was standing in the room holding the quilt, embarrassed to the extreme, but slowly relieved. As long as she is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. Anyway, waiting for tomorrow morning, she will return to the Jing Palace, but Zhou Shunhua will stay. Whether two people can meet again in the future is still to say, and now these embarrassing things are no problem.

In fact, there are not many things in Zhou Shunhua’s house. She only came to Zhuangzi the day before, and went out to save people at night. She only stayed here for one day without leaving much private atmosphere. Master Tang took a few glances. The villa’s house was simple and crude, and it was completely incomparable with Jing Wang’s Mansion. Apart from the necessary tables, chairs and bed cabinets, there was nothing else in the house. However, the victory was cleaned up, and everything was wiped spotlessly, making the place extra spacious.

Master Tang felt cold when he looked at it, but Zhou Shunhua wanted to live here. Master Tang sighed, she really regretted it, she should listen to Du Juan, don’t follow this trip, or why would she suffer such hardship? However, Tang Shishi changed his mind to think, without her, Zhao Chengjun’s speed would have been able to go back and forth in one day, and he would not have to spend the night in the villa.

Master Tang’s heart is strangely balanced, it doesn’t matter if she is uncomfortable, as long as others are uncomfortable, then she will win.

It is really happy to be able to add blockage to Zhao Chengjun.

Zhou Shunhua tidied the bed, straightened up, and said a little embarrassingly: “The house is shabby, making Girl Tang laugh.”

The two of them looked close together and had been trying to force their sisters for a long time, but their faces were always affectionate. Zhou Shunhua and her pretended to have a deep relationship with her sisters. Master Tang did not show any weakness, and immediately said: “Sister Zhou, what are you talking about? You are from a government office. I am afraid that you are more unaccustomed to the conditions here. You can bear it, but I just borrowed to stay overnight. Where can’t you bear it?”

Master Tang always sticks a knife like this by any means, stabbing it wherever it hurts, and has no morals at all. Zhou Shunhua smiled and said: “The past is over, and I still mention what it does. Now I am from the Jing Palace. Whatever happened to my natal family and what happened in the past has nothing to do with me.”

“Sister Zhou is right.” Teacher Tang said with a look of admiration, “I admire Sister Zhou most for her perseverance. No matter what happens, she can always hold on. The countryside and the palace are very different, but people can conquer the sky. I believe Sister Zhou will get used to the new environment soon.”

Teacher Tang urged the dark bitch, Zhou Shunhua clenched his fingertips, and finally smiled gently: “Xie Tang girl, no matter what you encounter in the future, I will definitely remember what you said today.”

“You’re welcome.” Master Tang smiled, put his quilt on the bed, and said while making the bed, “Actually, I’m used to it. It’s not too crude here. It has a mountainous charm. It’s much more interesting than the cookie-cutter Royal Mansion. .”

Zhou Shunhua lowered his head and smiled and said softly: “If Miss Tang likes it, it’s okay to stay for a few days to experience the wild fun. Anyway, the prince is about to marry the new princess, and the princess will take care of everything around him. If you want to come to outsiders, you can rest. Miss Tang can get it. Empty, Dake comes to live on Zhuangzi.”

Master Tang’s smile was slightly stagnant. She sat on the edge of the bed, slowly smoothing the folds on the bed, and said: “I am from the prince’s side. All actions must be subject to the prince’s scheduling. It is difficult to predict the future.

“Don’t worry, the prince and the princess are married together. After they get married, the prince will definitely delegate the power to the princess.” Zhou Shunhua helped Master Tang put the pillows away, and smiled softly at Master Tang, “Girl Tang don’t envy me, you will have it too. Such an opportunity.”

Master Tang secretly cursed in his heart, who envied her? Bah, it’s unlucky. Master Tang endured forbearance, and suddenly smiled: “Sister Xie Zhou cares about me, but the future is still far away. Who knows what the new princess will be like when she enters the door? It’s like Sister Zhou, who has been able to rest well, what can I say? Bring it to Sister Ren? Sister Ren wants to serve the eldest son and will be reused by the elder concubine. I’m afraid I won’t have time to visit Sister Zhou. After all, we are sisters. We don’t know when we will meet next time. All of us will miss you.”

Zhou Shunhua held the corner of her lips indifferently, and said, “Ms. Xie Tang is kind. I have finished talking with Ren Yujun before the trip. There is nothing to tell. Thank you Miss Tang for thinking about me so much. Don’t worry, you will have what you are today.”

Teacher Tang smirked, Zhou Shunhua calmly. After turning their faces, both of them instantly chilled.

This conversation was unpleasant to anyone. Both of them stepped on each other’s sore feet, but they hurt the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred, and they were also uncomfortable. After Zhou Shunhua put on the pillow, he didn’t want to see Master Tang anymore, so he found a reason and went outside.

Master Tang was eager to do this, and she scolded Zhao Chengjun in her heart. It was not that there were no other rooms in the villa, but this vicious man had to let her squeeze her opponent. If he is not kind, he will definitely get retribution.

Master Tang went to the table to pour tea. She picked up the cup and found that the porcelain embryo was extremely rough and the edges were even damaged. Master Tang couldn’t use it any longer, so he put it down silently.

She looked at the simple and cold room, and sighed deeply. Zhao Zixun is really cruel, a favored person, saying that you can just throw it away. If one strike is not killed, it will be a disaster. Lu Yufei is raising Gu for himself.

Master Tang can only hope that she can succeed in one blow in this short gap and replace the heroine as Zhao Zixun’s new concubine. Otherwise, waiting for the first day of Xi Yun’s first entrance, with the situation of Tang Shishi making enemies, they would definitely be overthrown by everyone.

Master Tang sighed, her beauty was so jealous and jealous. Is it her fault to be rich and beautiful?

Zhou Shunhua didn’t know where he went, and he didn’t come back for a long time. This was just right for Master Tang. She didn’t take the conscious of living in someone else’s home at all. She took a shower and changed her pajamas very happily when the host’s home was not there. When she was undressing, she found that her back was really green.

There is no ointment here, and Master Tang didn’t want Zhou Shunhua to apply medicine to her, so he had to temporarily let go of the wound, and then let Du Juan give her medicine after returning home tomorrow. Master Tang comfortably soaked in a hot bath, then tied his shirt and went to the mirror to take care of it.

Time has passed for a long time, so Tang Master was worried that Zhou Shunhua would come back, so he let go of the door latch. Master Tang was sitting on the round stool, picking up strands of his long hair to look at it.

Her hair is dark and dense, draped like a waterfall behind her. There were water stains on the tips of her hair, soaking her coat slightly, revealing the skin behind her. Master Tang watched carefully, and if there was a fork, immediately cut it off with a knife.

She was full of energy in her hair, not paying attention to her surroundings. The door behind him seemed to open. Master Tang thought it was Zhou Shunhua, and without looking up, he said, “Sister Zhou, are you back?”

Behind it was as quiet as ever, Tang Shishi waited for a long time, but did not wait for Zhou Shunhua to reply. Master Tang finally fixed a strand of hair. She put down her hair and looked back and found that the door was closed and there was no one in the room.

“Huh?” Teacher Tang was surprised, “I just heard someone coming in, so she’s gone again?”

Master Tang didn’t take it seriously and continued to take care of his hair. After a while, there was a sound of opening the door behind him, and Master Tang took a look in the mirror, and saw Zhou Shunhua’s face dull and not in a good mood.

Master Tang raised his eyebrows and said, “Sister Zhou, you finally came back. Why have you been out for so long?”

“The room is too boring, go out to relax.” Zhou Shunhua replied casually and was about to wash. Master Tang’s hair was wrapped around his hands, smiling without saying a word.

Go out to relax? Is there any heart to be relieved in the cold weather, 80%, I went to see Zhao Zixun.

After all, Zhao Zixun is leaving tomorrow, and I don’t know when we will meet again, let alone how many beauties will appear next to him. Even Zhou Shunhua couldn’t calmly deal with such a blow.

Master Tang moved her hair behind her, her black hair pouring down like running water, sheen and radiant, just like the finest black satin. Master Tang took the comb casually, turned it around his back, and slowly combed it along the hair: “Sister Zhou, why did you go out again after you came in just now? I talked to you, but you ignored me.”

Zhou Shunhua was stunned, and Tang Master asked again. She just had a general reaction and said, “It’s me. I forgot to take something and went out again.”

Master Tang said oh, and didn’t think too much. Zhou Shunhua didn’t pay attention just now. She looked carefully at this moment, only to find that this scene was vivid and beautiful, and the spring was beautiful, and even a woman of her would be stunned when she looked at it.

Master Tang was sitting in front of the mirror, his face was white, and his black hair was scattered. He obviously didn’t use pink or black hair, but he was so beautiful that he could not look directly at him. The dressing of women after bath is a very private thing. At this moment, the room is full of moisture, and there is a faint fragrance floating, which seems to be the body fragrance of Master Tang. It is usually not obvious, but now there is no incense in the house, and she has just taken a bath, and the fragrance becomes clear.

So lively and fragrant, even a woman Zhou Shunhua feels dazzled, what about the person who just came in?

Zhou Shunhua thought of Zhao Zixun whom he had met not long ago, and couldn’t help but pinch his nails into his palm.

Zhou Shunhua took a bath in a daze. According to her original meaning, she didn’t want to toss the kitchen like this in a cold day. But today she didn’t know what was going on. She saw the teacher Tang in front of the mirror, and she felt a sense of depression, and went to the back to take a bath.

The conditions of the villa are simple, and only a screen can be used to separate the inside and outside, but both of them are women, so they don’t care about it. Zhou Shunhua took a shower, changed his clothes, and looked at his body for a long time behind the screen.

She grew up as a spoiled family, she looks good, has a slender and fit body, and is neither fat nor thin. When he was in Beijing, Zhou Shunhua never worried about his appearance on any occasion.

But she also knew that she was not the best-looking one. After entering the palace, the more she discovered this fact. Zhou Shunhua used to think it didn’t matter. She had a family background and talent. Isn’t she better than the empty and beautiful vase?

But now, Zhou Shunhua began to doubt. Women always wear filters when evaluating their looks, looking at themselves to be more beautiful and others to be less ugly. But even if Zhou Shunhua was partial to himself, he had to admit that Tang Shishi was much more beautiful.

White and slender fingers, the arc of the wrist that was exposed when combing the hair, through the looming back of the clothes…Zhou Shunhua knew that the beauty of a person can be separated from the appearance and exist in all parts of the body. Zhou Shunhua didn’t think there was any difference in the figure of a woman. Putting on her clothes, everyone was the same. But now Zhou Shunhua has discovered that there is actually a difference.

It turns out that it is true that the history books say that jade body is out of line and lotus grows step by step.

“Sister Zhou?” Master Tang’s voice came from behind the screen, “Are you not well? Is something wrong?”

Zhou Shunhua quickly responded, “It’s okay.” He quickly put on his clothes and came out.

Master Tang was already sitting in the quilt, she covered her mouth and yawned, her eyes suddenly flooded with water. She leaned lazily on the bedpost, shaking the fan in her hands.

Watching this scene, Zhou Shunhua gradually stopped. Teacher Tang leaned on the foot of the bed, delicate and weak, as if sleepy and not sleepy. Zhou Shunhua looked at it for a while and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Let the hair dry out quickly.” Master Tang was extremely sleepy, and said lazily, “If your hair is not dry, go to bed. It won’t look good tomorrow.”

With so many things happening, she was still thinking about looking good… Zhou Shunhua used to look down on Master Tang’s style, and only knew how to pay attention to her own appearance. This kind of woman was both sad and pitiful. But now, Zhou Shunhua is a little envious of her.

After going through so many twists and turns from Miyagi to the frontier, she is still pure and happy. You don’t have to worry about the man’s heart, you don’t have to worry about your feelings, just give her a mirror, and she will be happy immediately.

How great.

Perhaps because of the special environment tonight, Zhou Shunhua suddenly had an urge to talk. Zhou Shunhua asked: “Tang Shishi, you left your hometown, entered the palace for selection, and traveled all the way to Xiping Mansion. Have you regretted it?”

Master Tang paused slightly with his wrist, and then he slapped the fan unhurriedly: “No.”

“Never?”

“Never.”

This answer is far from what Zhou Shunhua expected, but when I think about it, it is very consistent with Tang Shishi. Zhou Shunhua asked: “Why?”

Master Tang put down the fan, combed his hair with his fingers, and said casually: “There is no why. Up to now, I have chosen every step myself, and there is nothing to regret.”

Master Tang knows what she wants, and she also knows that she is not a peaceful person. Compared with deep love and a happy family, she prefers Chinese clothes and good food, and her husband and wife are honored. Tang Shishi doesn’t care if she has true feelings or even filial children. She only needs to live a luxurious life.

Teacher Tang once selected Qi Jingsheng because Qi Jingsheng could study. He is the person most likely to take Tang Shishi out of business and enter the gentry class, so Tang Shishi is determined to move closer to Qi Jingsheng. But now, she entered a wider world and saw a higher landscape, and ordinary gentry officials could no longer satisfy her.

She knows that the goal of becoming a queen mother is exaggerated and unrealistic, but it depends on her own providence whether it can be based on the will of heaven and how hard she can work. She is getting closer to what she wants, what can she regret?

Master Tang’s hair finally dried. She lifted her hair from behind, lay on the pillow, and asked casually: “Why, do you regret it?”

Zhou Shunhua did not answer. She was originally a court daughter, if she had not been drafted in the court, she would marry the right son of the court, and continue to enjoy the honor of the marquise’s wife. How can she endure the current humiliation? However, if she did not enter the palace, she would not meet Zhao Zixun.

She hates everything she has experienced, but she doesn’t regret falling in love with him.

Master Tang laughed and said, “I can see that you really like him. Only love can make people shrink. By the way, please turn off the lights. I have to get up early tomorrow, so I can’t delay.”

Zhou Shunhua came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. She would even talk to Master Tang about her thoughts. How can Master Tang understand this? Master Tang is so selfish that he only cares about sleeping, regardless of whether the roommates are used up or not. This kind of heartless person will never get true love for a lifetime.

Zhou Shunhua’s heart is strangely peaceful, yes, how beautiful is Master Tang, so what if many men can’t help but fall for her? Master Tang does have a beautiful skin, but the love of a man for her also stops in the skin, how sad.

Zhou Shunhua didn’t speak any more, she blew out the light and fumbled back to the bed.

The lights in the room went dark. Outside the window, a person looked in the dark for a long time, staring at the silent window, as if through the darkness, he saw the person behind the window.

He couldn’t help stepping forward, wanting to take another look through the window. When Zhao Zixun made this decision, he didn’t know who he wanted to see.

However, he had only taken two steps, and was suddenly stopped by a dark figure. The soldier in armor looked at him coldly, and when he spoke, his voice was as harsh and ruthless as the cold wind: “Second son, please stay. Girl Tang is inside. It is not convenient for you to approach.”

Zhao Zixun smiled apologetically, pretending to be unaware, and said: “So Miss Tang was there? I thought my father left her with her. I wanted to see my concubine, but I didn’t know if Miss Tang was actually there. Here. I was abrupt, I will leave now.”
