It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 78 Affection

“Xie Wangfei.” Lu Yufei stood up stiffly, his face was neither face nor hands, and he was very awkward. Not long ago, she categorically said that if Master Tang named the princess, she would invite herself to go down the hall. It’s fine now, as soon as she finished speaking, Master Tang was canonized.

He also brought so many rewards, which gave Master Tang a decent amount.

Lu Yufei was extremely embarrassed, and her position as a concubine was hard-won, and she would not invite herself to go down. Fortunately, there were no outsiders when he was speaking. No one knew about it except Mother Zhang. Lu Yufei pretended that he hadn’t said before, changed his clothes, and obediently rolled over to greet Master Tang.

Master Tang’s mood was extremely comfortable. She smiled kindly and said: “The concubine is a rare visitor. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you a bit. Concubine, this is Mother Feng, the celebrity next to the empress mother; Mother Feng. , This is the eldest concubine of our house. She just came in last year, and there will be some advice from Mother Lao in the future.”

Mother Feng naturally smiled and declined. She was talking polite words, but she was sitting in a calm posture, and she did not stand up to say hello or give up her seat. In the eyes of Grandma Feng, the only thing worthy of her attention in Prince Jing’s Mansion is Zhao Chengjun, and now there is one more Tang Shishi. As for the adopted son, he is not considered a serious master at all, and his wife is even less important.

Grandma Feng only glanced at Lu Yufei, then turned her head and continued to talk to Master Tang, as if Lu Yufei did not exist at all. Grandma Feng said: “The empress dowager misses you very much, but it’s a pity that Jinling and Jingdi are thousands of miles away. The queen mother can’t call you into the palace, so she can only ask the old slave to bring a jewel for treasures, and the empress will come to see if you are doing well. You and King Jing are married. The Queen Mother is very happy. She personally picked a lot of treasures from the bottom of the box to add makeup to you. The emperor and the queen heard that her Royal Highness and the princess were married, and also rewarded a lot of things, which are all left outside.”

Lu Yufei’s eyes widened when she heard that the empress dowager not only allowed Master Tang to be the princess, she also personally gave her a dowry? If the courtiers can get rewards from the palace, they are simply shining ancestors, and they must be used to protect three generations at the entrance of the main hall. As a result, Master Tang received several boxes of rewards at once, including not only the queen mother, but also the emperor and empress.

Master Tang, why is she?

Lu Yufei was indignant, and the maid-in-law was horrified, even Master Tang himself was quite flattered. She admits that her heart is higher than the sky, and at a very young age she vowed to marry the best husband and show the greatest limelight. But Master Tang’s most extraordinary fantasy is nothing more than eight carrying a big sedan chair and ten miles of red makeup. She never thought that one day, the three most noble people in the world, the queen mother, emperor, and empress, would give her a dowry together.

For such a big battle, the princess might not be able to get married. It is truly earth-shattering that a non-knowledgeable folk girl from Master Tang could receive such honors.

Master Tang said: “The empress dowager has broken her concubine, how can I be, how can I be favored by the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen? I am ashamed of these rewards, and the concubine does not dare to accept it.”

Madam Feng held down Master Tang’s hand and said: “What is the princess saying? How can the rewards of the queen dowager and the emperor be taken back? The rewards above show that the princess is unique. You can accept it with peace of mind. .”

Of course Tang Shishi would not be stupid enough to refuse the rewards given to the door, but he always has to say: “The concubine is no more than an ordinary woman, and she is not as good as the public servant, and Wu can’t protect the family and the country, but the empress dowager has to be treated like this The concubine was terrified, for fear of betraying the emperor’s grace.”

Lu Yufei has been left alone. She found the opportunity and immediately said: “Thank the emperor for benevolence. The distance between the northwest and Jinling is so far, the queen mother and her majesty are still thinking about the border heroes. With such a hero, it is no wonder that my father Su Xingye Mei, everything must be done personally, firmly guarding the northwestern frontier.”

After Lu Yufei finished speaking, the court fell silent, and the people in the palace and the palace did not speak. Lu Yufei’s snatching talk was originally to show her talent, but she didn’t expect that no one would answer after she finished speaking, and Lu Yufei was suddenly very embarrassed.

Teacher Tang said that Lu Yufei can really pick topics. The relationship between the Queen Mother and King Jing is so embarrassing that everyone is tacitly talking about eating, drinking, playing, dancing and promoting peace, just not mentioning political affairs. Lu Yufei insists on wearing a single word. .

Master Tang covered his mouth with a veil, turned sideways and coughed gently. When everyone saw Master Tang’s actions, they all came back to life. A room crowded to Master Tang and asked with concern: “Wang Concubine, what’s the matter with you?”

“Suddenly nauseated.” Master Tang pressed his lips, said delicately and weakly, “In the end, it is always like this. If you get sick, you might as well.

This is the direction that Mother Feng is best at. She immediately opened the chatterbox and said: “I was going to suffer a bit in the first few months. Nausea and nausea are normal. It will be fine if I endure this period of time. Usually, eat more light meals, eat smaller meals, and separate dry and wet ones. Eat first, and wait for a while before drinking soup, porridge, and other soups.”

Master Tang didn’t expect that morning sickness would have so much knowledge. She quickly glared at Du Juan, and said: “Cuckoo, Mother teaches the secret recipe, you don’t want to write it down soon.”

The cuckoo let out an afterthought, and hurry up to find something to remember. Grandma Feng said many more tips, and Master Tang wrote them down one by one, and said sincerely: “Grandma understands so much.”

This is not flattery. Master Tang really admires the memory of the people in the palace. Probably if he stays in the palace for a long time, he will automatically light up his palace fighting skills. Even Zhao Chengjun knows a lot of weird recipes. Even Master Tang couldn’t recognize the abortion pill, but Zhao Chengjun could see it at a glance and couldn’t accept it.

Madam Feng smiled and said: “The princess is young. You will understand when you have more babies and more children.”

Everyone laughed, Master Tang lowered his head, showing just the right amount of shame. After this interruption, the embarrassment just passed.

Everyone talked about the precautions for pregnancy in a word, and the atmosphere in the room was pleasant. Standing in the crowd, Lu Yufei felt out of place.

She is not pregnant and has no children. Lu Yufei didn’t understand what they said, and these people didn’t answer if Lu Yufei was interested.

Lu Yufei seems to be an outsider, not only unable to integrate in fertility, but her identity is also faintly excluded by this group of people.

She is the concubine, the wife of King Jing’s adopted son. In the eyes of this group of maids above the top, they are not considered royals at all. Lu Yufei was hit hard after realizing this incident, but Master Tang, who had always been looked down upon by Lu Yufei, sat in the crowd, surrounded by the maids, talking, laughing, banqueting, and acting freely, as if he was born to belong to this class. .

After Feng Feng said for a while, Haosheng looked at Teacher Tang and said with a smile: “I haven’t seen you in a year, the princess is more charming than before. The princess was also beautiful when she was in the palace, but that is the beauty of raw jade. Now, it is the real one. Polished into precious jade, the brilliance is inherent, and it is shining.”

Since the group of Feng Sister Feng entered the door, their flattery was like no money. From all angles and directions, Master Tang was embarrassed to praise her. Master Tang hurriedly said, “Mother, don’t say anything. If you continue to boast, I should have no conceit.”

Grandma Feng smiled and pointed to the court ladies around and said: “Wang Hao, you ask these people, do you exaggerate these words deliberately or tell the truth? They say that BMWs are equipped with saddles and beautiful women are equipped with heroes. You are a first-class one. Beauty embryos, only when they enter the palace can they truly reveal the beauty of the princess.”

People on both sides heard that they responded. Some praised the beauty of Master Tang, some praised the beauty of the prince and the princess, and also praised the marriage of thousands of miles. There are so many kinds of good listeners, and they are endless. When Lu Yufei heard these flattery words, he was both familiar and unfamiliar, and his heart was extremely complicated for a while.

Familiarity is because every time Lu Yufei went out as a guest since he got married, those ladies and wives complimented her like this; the unfamiliarity is because now this person has been replaced by Master Tang.

Lu Yufei was in a daze when everyone agreed. After being flattered for a long time, Lu Yufei took it seriously. She always thought that she was different, and her family and friends praised her because she was excellent and outstanding. She despised Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun, especially Tang Shishi. This kind of untalented and beautiful vase is destined to be trampled by Lu Yufei all his life.

However, now, Master Tang has transformed into a princess. This time it was Lu Yufei’s turn to stand on the ground, and the audience praised Master Tang graciously. Lu Yufei finally realized that before everyone was holding her, it was not because of how smart and capable she was, she was just an ordinary woman. The one that everyone sought after was clearly King Jing.

Once Lu Yufei was the only female family member of Prince Jing’s Mansion, outsiders who wanted to please King Jing could only praise Lu Yufei’s favor. Now that King Jing had a real princess, those people naturally rushed to Master Tang’s side. After all, Lu Yufei is only a junior, and it is the princess who can really blow the pillow wind, and even influence the attitude of King Jing.

Lu Yufei was shocked and felt the gap in his identity for the first time. Suddenly there was the sound of running outside, and there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and then, there was a crisp sound of bead curtains at the door. Zhao Chengjun appeared behind the glass bead curtain and asked: “What’s the matter, what are you talking about, why are you so happy?”

“King Jing is here.” Everyone stood up and saluted, and Master Tang also stood up and blessed his body along with Mother Feng: “Lord.”

As soon as Zhao Chengjun entered the room, his sight immediately fell on Tang Shishi. He frowned slightly when he saw Master Tang’s movements.

During this period of time, he never used Master Tang to salute. He couldn’t wait for Master Tang to walk for him. How could he be willing to let Master Tang salute? Zhao Chengjun moved manually, but due to the presence of the Queen Mother, he held back the movement and said lightly: “Mother, please do not be polite.”

Madam Feng stood up, and the teacher Tang who was on the side also stood up straight. Grandma Feng greeted: “Your Royal Highness, the official of the Ministry of Rites is still outside, why are you back?”

Zhao Chengjun naturally came to see Tang Shishi. The Mandarin of those in the Ministry of Rites was similar, but Tang Shishi was different. Master Tang hasn’t looked for him for an hour and a half, will she feel nauseous, depressed, sensitive and suspicious? What’s more, the queen mother is here today, will she be bullied?

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t sit still, and threw the minister of ceremonies to Zhao Zixun. He immediately walked to the inner courtyard. Zhao Chengjun glanced at Tang Shishi calmly, and saw that her face was ruddy and calm, she didn’t look like she was wronged, and she was even more energetic than she was by Zhao Chengjun’s side.

Zhao Chengjun’s heart was complicated for a while, and he didn’t know whether he should be happy or lost.

Of course, the real reason cannot be said. Zhao Chengjun casually made up an excuse and dealt with Madam Feng. Although he exchanged greetings with Grandma Feng, his attention was all on Master Tang. Zhao Chengjun noticed that Master Tang had already stood by for a cup of tea.

Zhao Chengjun frowned secretly. Why is this old mother talking so much, the ground is so hard, and Master Tang has been standing, will she be tired?

Mother Feng stopped in the middle, and Zhao Chengjun looked solemnly and said: “Mother has worked **** this journey. This king is very grateful for her heart. Please take a seat.”

Grandma Feng didn’t expect King Jing to treat herself so politely. Grandma Feng had a light on her face and sat down happily. Zhao Chengjun winked, Liu Ji realized that he immediately moved the soft stool and placed it behind Tang Shishi, waiting for Shishi Tang to take a seat.

Madam Feng was still eloquently saying: “…His Royal Highness King Xie Jing. Just now, the old slave was joking with the princess. His Majesty has made great contributions to the country and the people, and I don’t know how many contributions he has made. The only shortcoming is his lifetime. I don’t care about big things. The empress dowager didn’t know how long she had been troubled, and she specially gave a beautiful woman to serve her highness. I didn’t expect that by mistake, she would have achieved a marriage.”

Zhao Chengjun had been distracted and paid attention to the other side, and he secretly felt relieved when he saw Master Tang sitting down. Hearing the question from Mother Feng, he returned to his senses and smiled faintly: “Yes. For this, I would like to thank the Queen Mother.”

After Zhao Chengjun appeared, Tang Shishi retreated to the second line and quietly became a wall flower. Madam Feng had said things like the empress dowager’s kindness many times, and Tang Master was not surprised, but she didn’t expect that Zhao Chengjun would have responded.

Master Tang was surprised, and quickly glanced at Zhao Chengjun. Grandma Feng was also surprised. Zhao Chengjun unexpectedly expressed his gratitude to the Queen Mother. It was really the sun coming out from the west.

Sister Feng glanced over the self-contained Zhao Chengjun, and then over the meek teacher Tang, who seemed to understand something. She smiled and deliberately said: “His Royal Highness was curious about what everyone was laughing at when he entered the door. Actually, we are talking about the princess. Your Royal Highness, is the princess beautiful now or when he first came to the fief?”

Teacher Tang did not expect that Mother Feng would bring such words to Zhao Chengjun, and her face blushed. Master Tang was anxious and said quickly: “Mother, it’s just a joke, what do you say about this?”

Rather Feng smiled, so she looked at Zhao Chengjun in her spare time: “His Royal Highness, what do you think?”

Zhao Chengjun smiled, his eyes moved slightly, falling on Master Tang, and he looked seriously. Master Tang was seen all over his body hairy, a pair of apricot eyes glared at him secretly, and screamed: “The prince.”

She thought she was lowering her voice threat, but she didn’t know that it was really scary to growl like a small milk cat with missing teeth.

Zhao Chengjun held back a smile and said, “I can’t answer Mother’s words. If I say she looks good now, she will blame me for not caring about her before. If I say she looked good before, she will be so angry that she won’t eat. Anyway, It’s all my fault.”

When Grandma Feng heard the laughter, the maids and maids also covered their mouths for fun. Master Tang sank his face and said angrily: “Where am I?”

Zhao Chengjun nodded, with a good-tempered look, and said: “Okay, you don’t have one.”

The palace people laughed harder, and Master Tang had been angry for a long time, then gave Zhao Chengjun a hard look, and turned his head not to look at him. Upon seeing this, Feng Madam said: “The prince and the princess have a very good relationship, so that the empress dowager can feel at ease. The empress dowager has a motherly heart. These years, she has been worried about her clothes and food, for fear that her majesty will treat her body harshly. Fortunately, the princess will give her to her To share your worries, in the future, I also ask the princess to take good care of King Jing, take care of her own body, and have a few more princesses and princesses with her Royal Highness. This is the greatest filial piety to the empress dowager.”

After Grandma Feng finished speaking, she couldn’t help sweeping her stomach to Master Tang. Master Tang was all hairy by everyone’s meaningful gaze. Zhao Chengjun was quite at ease. He glanced at Master Tang, showing some smile, and nodded: “With the good words of the mother, she will.”

Master Tang’s whole body is blown up, what does it mean that she can? What will she do? Does Zhao Chengjun think that giving birth is a kind of carrot? He said it lightly.

Lu Yufei stood aside, feeling a deep sense of outsideness. King Jing, Master Tang, and Grandma Feng, as if they were the people of the world, and Lu Yufei was just a drunk man who strayed into Huang Liang. Lu Yufei thought that Master Tang had received so many rewards from the palace and had a close relationship with Grandma Feng, so he would be jealous of King Jing. In the end, King Jing had no complaints, and he took great care of Tang Shishi, saying in public that there will be more children in the future.

What other statement is more powerful than this sentence? No amount of sweet talk, no amount of gold and silver jewels, can’t compare to the sentence of a husband, we will have more children in the future.

This shows that King Jing didn’t care whether Master Tang’s birth was a child or a daughter. It’s good to be a son, but it doesn’t matter if it isn’t, they will have the next one.

Lu Yufei lowered his face and couldn’t help putting his hands on his abdomen, giving birth to a thick loneliness.

Mother Feng was shown a lot of affection. Mother Feng’s impression of Zhao Chengjun still remains on two pictures. One is that eleven years ago, Zhao Chengjun’s brothers hurried to the feudal clan, and the four most noble princes had a high fever and were dying; the other was last year when she served as the queen mother. Sending the beauties off to the Fan, in the hunting wind of the station, I saw Zhao Chengjun, who was already an adult.

No matter which one, it is not related to gentleness and kindness. Who could have imagined that King Jing, who was majestic and indifferent and gave orders to a thousand troops, would have a smile when he looked at someone.

Madam Feng had a vigilance in her smile. She looked at the sky outside and said: “It’s not early. The slaves have been harassing for a long time. Now the rewards of the queen mother and the emperor have been sent, and the prince and princess have also seen him, and the slaves dare not. If you interrupt the princess to raise the fetus, we will retire. The prince and princess stop.”

All the female relatives stood up together to send Madam Feng out. Mother Feng’s trip represented the Queen Mother. She will stay in Xiping Mansion for a period of time and will return to Beijing after her marriage. Zhao Chengjun also arranged a place for Mother Feng. At this moment, he motioned to Liu Ji and said, “Send Mother out.”

Liu Jiying promise. When Grandma Feng wants to leave, Master Tang must be sent to the door. Madam Feng, a maidservant, could not get up to see Zhao Chengjun, but when Zhao Chengjun saw Master Tang was about to go out, he was worried about Master Tang, as if there was a tiger just a few steps from the front house to the door, so he followed out.

Madam Feng and the others walked to the door. She saw the boxes stacked like a mountain outside and couldn’t help but said: “His Royal Highness, the princess is the mistress of a palace, the prince and concubine of the royal jade, living in this kind of small courtyard, I’m afraid it’s not suitable. Systematic.”

“This is only her temporary residence before marriage.” Zhao Chengjun said without thinking, “Now that the book has been delivered, she should move to the real residence.”

Sister Feng also asked casually, she once again asked Master Tang and Zhao Chengjun to stop and leave with Liu Ji and others. After Madam Feng left, Zhao Chengjun calmed down and said lightly: “It’s getting late, the princess wants to have a baby, you all get back.”

What Lu Yufei could say, he could only sue and retreat. After the crowd dispersed, Master Tang couldn’t help it anymore and asked Zhao Chengjun in a whisper: “Master, do I really want to move?”

Zhao Chengjun glanced at her lightly, took her hand, and walked into the house with her shoulders: “Otherwise? How can this king say nothing, can he go back and forth?”

“Then…” Master Tang was anxious, “Then where do I move?”

“Naturally it is Yan’an Academy.” Zhao Chengjun seemed to have a smile in his voice, “We are already married, do you still want to live in two places?”
