It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 95 Full moon

In March, the wind blew Yumen, the ice and snow melted, and the earth gradually revealed greenery.

The sunlight enters the house through the window, making the couch warm. Master Tang still can’t see the wind, but it’s no problem to bask in the sun by the window and walk around the house with the child in his arms.

Master Tang hugged the child and slowly walked around the house. Zhao Chengjun entered the door, saw her movements, and asked, “He refuses to sleep again?”

Master Tang looked back and saw Zhao Chengjun, sighed slightly, and said softly: “Yes, I have been tossing for the whole morning, and I still refuse to sleep. I want him to take a nap now, otherwise he will sleep in the afternoon, and he will be full at night. It’s going to happen again at night.”

The child was lying in Master Tang’s arms, half-closed eyes, already a little confused. Zhao Chengjun walked to the front, took the child from the arms of Master Tang, and said: “Give it to me, you rest for a while.”

The child is changing every day. After more than twenty days, the child is no longer the wrinkled little monkey when he was born, but has become a white and fat steamed bun. Holding such a big small stove, even if he is not heavy, it is enough to hold it for a few moments without interruption.

Master Tang handed the child to Zhao Chengjun, carefully pulled out his sleeves from under the child, and confessed softly: “He can’t sleep well, don’t wake him up, otherwise he won’t sleep again.”

Zhao Chengjun nodded, holding the child very skillfully. He didn’t dare to hold on the first day, and now that he has held so many times, Zhao Chengjun has already learned by himself without a teacher.

Zhao Chengjun’s arm is more stable than Tang’s. The child may feel the unpleasant aura on his father’s body, and instead of bullying his mother like just now, he quickly fell asleep. Master Tang sat on the side and moved his wrists. Seeing that the child fell asleep so quickly, he couldn’t beat his anger: “Bullying and afraid of hardship, he is very obedient every time you come back. When it was only me and the maid, he was not like this. ”

Zhao Chengjun walked to the edge of the collapse and placed the child on the collapse steadily. He laughed at the words of Master Tang, “Your own son, he is bullying and afraid of hardship. Who do you think you should blame?”

Master Tang quickly raised one eyebrow, leaned to the other side, and asked, “The prince is saying that I am bullying the soft and afraid of the tough?”

“I didn’t say.” Zhao Chengjun put the child in place, sat next to Master Tang, and carefully kneaded her wrists. “If you are too tired, let the maid come. He has nine catties. Be careful that your wrists can’t stand it.”

Zhao Chengjun said that she was bullying and afraid of hardship. Master Tang was angry. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn’t get it back several times. Master Tang gave up and let Zhao Chengjun slowly spin around her wrist bone: “Did the court reply, his name? Has it been decided yet?”

“It’s just sent today and it’s set.” Zhao Chengjun said, “The clan’s mansion has taken the words of the clan, and it has been written in the genealogy.”

Master Tang snorted unhappily: “It still used the words you took. Did you put a private message in the letter?”

“You must speak with evidence.” Zhao Chengjun gently smashed his finger at Master Tang and said, “The letter to the Clan Mansion was put in the envelope when you saw it with your own eyes. I didn’t mention anything in it. Who opened the letter? I I don’t know. This shows that even people in the clan family feel that the name I chose is more suitable for boys.”

Previously, Zhao Chengjun gave the child a name, but he couldn’t decide which word to use, so he asked Master Tang to help choose it. As a result, the two chose more and more, and their opinions were very different. Zhao Chengjun liked masculine words such as “sincerity”, “no” and “”, but Tang Shishi disliked the vulgarity and chose words such as “yi”, “mi” and “sincere”.

Neither of them could persuade anyone. In the end, Zhao Chengjun wrote these characters in the memorial and sent them to the clan mansion, and asked the clan mansion to choose one of them as the name of the child.

The result was just sent back today, and the clan’s mansion has drafted a “Gao”, which has been listed on the genealogy, and the final word has been finalized.

“Zhao Zigao.” Master Tang pursed his lips and complained in a low voice, “It sounds like a boy.”

Zhao Chengjun raised his eyebrows, unable to cry or laugh: “Otherwise?”

Teacher Tang is still unhappy, thinking about it, he swears: “You really don’t have anyone who bought the clan’s mansion? It’s obviously that I named it better.”

“Well, you get better.” Zhao Chengjun said, “When our daughter is born, you will name it. Isn’t this the head office?”

Master Tang looked back at him: “How do you know that the next one is a daughter?”

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t help but couldn’t help but, Master Tang did not find the trap in the language, and completely followed his words, which shows that she does not reject him having children. Zhao Chengjun smiled and said, “It’s a son, too.”

Master Tang was taken aback, and suddenly reacted, pulling back his hand forcefully, and glaring at him angrily: “Who is going to give you a baby?”

Master Tang’s skin was as white as snow, she held her wrists, gently turned her wrist bones, and leaned sideways on the collapsed fence. Slender snow-white hands were placed on the surrounding screen, hanging randomly, almost glowing white in the sun. Zhao Chengjun’s eyes fell on her hand and moved up slowly to see her shiny skin, slender neck, red lips and snowy skin, and her dark eyes are exquisite. When she leaned against the collapse, she looked coquettish, and she had a sense of beauty as a smoky gaze and a non-cannibalistic pyrotechnics.

Master Tang was well raised during her confinement. Now her chin is still delicate, but there is some meat on the side of her cheeks, which is much plumper than when she was just pregnant. She was too thin a while ago, and bones can be seen on her body. She is evenly stagnant and full of blood as she is now. On the contrary, she is more beautiful than before.

And unlike a girl after childbirth, her waist quickly recovered slender, but her chest and hips became rounded, and her skin was even more delicate like porcelain. The youthfulness of her nowadays has faded, replaced by a kind of maternal tenderness, like a dusted pearl, blooming with shining brilliance.

Zhao Chengjun is very satisfied, this is what a princess should be like. His wife should be arrogant and charming, calm and unaware of human suffering. Too thin or too gloomy between the eyebrows is because the husband does not do well.

Zhao Chengjun pinched Master Tang’s slender and soft fingers, and gradually moved a little. He calculated silently in his heart, and the imperial doctor said, how long can I have **** after giving birth?

Master Tang did not pay attention to Zhao Chengjun. She was thinking about the child and said: “Fortunately, the letter from the court was sent back before the full moon. Otherwise, the banquet would be difficult to handle. Have you seen the seats for the full moon ceremony? Are there any changes to be made? of?”

Zhao Chengjun hummed casually, and said: “It’s already very good, no need to change. You can just look at these things. I have so many slaves, not for them to eat rice, but for you to do it yourself. Your top priority is Nourish your body, as for other things, you can leave it to the next person.”

“I know.” Teacher Tang said, “I just look at the list. The specific things are done by maids, and I can’t get tired. Besides, it’s been a month, and I’m not paperless. How can I be so delicate.”

Zhao Chengjun said that she was much more expensive than the paper-cut. He was about to say something, and he sat down with a corner of his eye, and asked, “You just said that he sleeps restlessly?”

“That’s right.” Master Tang sighed, “Like you, I woke up in the slightest turmoil. Let’s speak quietly and don’t wake him up.”

Zhao Chengjun sighed: “He is already awake.”

Master Tang was surprised, and quickly stood up and found Zhao Zigao lying on the collapsed, with big eyes looking at the roof, while gnawing his hands. Teacher Tang was helpless, sitting on the side of the collapse, and pulling his small fist out of his mouth: “You, if you don’t learn the bad, you know to toss your mother.”

Zhao Chengjun followed her to the other side of the couch, with his arms propped on the screen, as if he was enclosing Master Tang and the child in his arms: “Let the two nurses work shifts at night. Now that the sun is so full, it is estimated that it is difficult for him to fall asleep. ”

Teacher Tang also felt that she took out the veil and carefully wiped the child’s hands. The child opened his eyes and looked at the man and woman in front of him, then suddenly grinned and smiled at Zhao Chengjun.

Zhao Chengjun was startled and surprised: “He laughed.”

Master Tang was wiping the child’s hands, and when he heard this, he raised his head quickly: “What, he will laugh?”

“Yes.” Zhao Chengjun also sat down, draped Teacher Tang’s shoulders, and looked at the child’s face carefully, “I did smile just now. Zhao Zigao, smile again.”

Teacher Tang looked at the child expectantly, but this time Zhao Zigao’s eyes turned and he refused to laugh. Teacher Tang was disappointed, and said aggrieved: “I held him for so long, and he didn’t smile at me.”

Zhao Chengjun hugged the big man: “It’s okay, he is still young, and will laugh again in the future.”

“That’s different.” Master Tang is still very disappointed. “It is clear that I took more time to take care of him, but the first time he laughed was not at me, it turned out to be at you. Why?”

Zhao Chengjun had no choice but to fight. Zhao Chengjun said: “No, he was looking at you at the time, maybe he was smiling at you, it just happened that you didn’t see it. Look, he laughed again.”

This time Master Tang also noticed that the imbalance in her heart was finally recovered. The next two people kept on the side to make Zhao Zi laugh, until Liu Ji entered the door and had to interrupt Zhao Chengjun: “Master, Master Liu is here. They have been waiting for a long time.”

Zhao Chengjun reluctantly put down the child, and reluctantly said goodbye to his wife and children: “I will go outside to discuss matters first, and I will come back to accompany you later.”

“Okay.” Master Tang said without raising his head, “You go quickly.”

Without even looking at him, Zhao Chengjun paused for a while, and found that he could not compete with Zhao Zigao for the attention of Master Tang, so he could only go out quietly. After going outside, the spring is shining brightly, the birds are singing in bursts, and there is a sense of lively spring back to the earth everywhere. Zhao Chengjun and Liu Ji walked in this kind of vitality. Liu Ji smiled and said: “My lord, you said that you didn’t like children before, and you got a headache when you heard them crying. Now, as a slave, you clearly get along with the little master. well.”

Zhao Chengjun was silent, speechless. It turns out that some things shouldn’t be said too early. Once you get a face slap, it’s over. Everyone can laugh at him.

And the more steadfast in the early stage, the more painful it is to hit the face later.

In fact, Zhao Chengjun didn’t tell lies, let alone Liu Ji and others thought that they didn’t know anything when they were young, and only later understood the goodness of women and family. Before that, he really planned to stay out of marriage for life.

Who knew that he would meet Master Tang and do ridiculous things by mistake. It’s not that he wants to get married, he just wants to get married with Tang Shishi.

However, these do not have to be told to outsiders.

The child is about to reach the full moon. This month, Master Tang concentrated on rehabilitating his body, thanking guests behind closed doors, isolating all sounds from the outside world, and only contacting the child and Zhao Chengjun every day. Although Zhao Zi screamed, there were many people who helped. If it is a little troublesome, the maid will do it for him. Master Tang only needs to move his mouth, and it is not tired. Master Tang doesn’t have to be tired, and can enjoy the fun of the child being born. Zhao Chengjun also often ran back to see the child. This month, Master Tang had a very comfortable life. Naturally, the mood state is brought to the facial expressions.

Master Tang now has soft eyebrows, her skin is crystal clear, and her eyes are as if they are filled with water. Lu Yufei and others were shocked when they saw Master Tang for the first time at the full moon banquet.

Had it not been for Master Tang holding the child, her pregnant belly couldn’t deceive people before, Lu Yufei almost suspected that Master Tang was not pregnant at all, this child was born for her, right?

Not only was Lu Yufei thinking so, but the wife and wife who came to see Master Tang was also amazed: “The princess is recovering very well. Sure enough, the young man has a good foundation. In just one month, his waist has become so thin.”

“Nothing.” Master Tang complained, holding the child, “I’m a lot fatter, even my arms are thicker than before.”

An elderly lady smiled and said: “Women are like this. When they are in the boudoir, they can’t even hold a needle. When a child is born, a child of ten jins, one hand is not tired for a few hours. Wang Feicheng Isn’t the arm getting stronger and stronger when holding the little county king?”

Everyone laughed together. Master Tang looked at the child in his arms with a smile, and said: “He grows very fast, now I can hold it for a while, but I’ll wait for a few months, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it anymore.”

“It’s a good thing for a child to grow up quickly. There is a maid here, so that the little princess can grow up quickly.” Another lady squeezed Zhao Zigao’s arm and said in surprise, “Hey, look, this little arm is tight. Very. In the future, it will be a good material for studying and practicing martial arts.”

The ladies surrounded Zhao Zigao, and you talked happily. Children are the easiest topic to open up the scene. Teacher Tang listened to his wives about his experience in parenting, and asked for advice from time to time. The scene was pleasant for the time being.

Lu Yufei stood behind Tang Shishi, silently lowered his head, staring lonely at his flat belly. She doesn’t want to listen to this topic, but she is a daughter-in-law, and in such a big scene, she must serve her mother-in-law at all times. Master Tang sits on the main seat and listens to the flattery of the crowd. Lu Yufei will stand behind Master Tang, serving tea and water at any time, and asking for warmth.

Before Tang Shishi, Lu Yufei was the concubine of the eldest son. This kind of occasion has always been her place of limelight. But now with Tang Shishi, Lu Yufei not only disappeared from the palace, but also disappeared from the eyes of the guests.

When everyone talked, they would never pay attention to Lu Yufei again. Everyone was careful to inquire about Master Tang’s preferences, and no one could see Lu Yufei standing behind Master Tang. Now Teacher Tang has given birth to concubines, and he has not been left behind to go to his mother. He has not been deprived of custody rights, and is still firmly sitting in the position of the princess. Everyone knew that Master Tang was very much favored by King Jing, and his position was as good as gold. The ladies hurriedly flattered Master Tang before it was too late, how could they remember Lu Yufei?

Lu Yufei can tolerate these gaps. Who made her a concubine, and Master Tang is a concubine, born a head shorter than others? What Lu Yufei really couldn’t bear was the completely different course of the two after they got married.

Lu Yufei and Zhao Zixun, like many noble husbands and wives, after a short period of sweetness for a month, they drifted away irretrievably. The estrangement between the two became more and more, and there were more and more concubine rooms. In the end, the husband and wife only had the respectable etiquette.

But Master Tang was different. She was so pretentious and arrogant, but the more she worked, the more favored she became. She gained her status and her children. Tang Shishi has been married for more than half a year, and there are no other concubines around him so far, and his eyes are still like girls, bright and watery.

This is the look that people who have never been hurt, and have not hit the cold south wall, can only have eyes. Shishi Tang is young, beautiful, and still favored. Given her and King Jing’s age, having a few children is not a problem at all.

Lu Yufei touched her lower abdomen quietly, her eyes low. Since Master Tang became pregnant, many people have panicked, especially after Master Tang gave birth to a son, the Lu family completely fried the pot. The Lu family kept urging Lu Yufei to have a baby quickly, and even urged her to hurry up when making good friends. Lu Yufei herself thought, but she really didn’t have the final say about this kind of thing.

She didn’t know how much medicine she had taken for her child. Guanyin, Taoist priests, and Buddha all offered it, but she couldn’t get pregnant. She couldn’t ask for it, but she still had to listen closely to Master Tang and other wives talking about the troubles of parenting, which was simply cutting out meat in Lu Yufei’s heart.

Lu Yufei didn’t envy the scenery of Master Tang, but only admired the favor of Master Tang. People who have not experienced it will not understand, whether your husband loves you or not, is willing to be considerate of you, the difference is really too big. As long as the relationship between Lu Yufei and Zhao Zixun is more relaxed, why does Lu Yufei go to this point?

However, the same person is not fate, who knows that the handsome and handsome Zhao Zixun is ruthless after marriage, while the majestic and indifferent King Jing is very much doting his wife? Obviously they are in the same mansion, but the treatment is very different. Probably, this is the life of Lu Yufei.

Shishi Tang attended the full moon banquet today, and she officially announced her social circle, and she has come back again. After the full moon banquet began, Zhao Zigao was carried to the front yard by Liu Ji, and he showed the men around before being sent back to the back yard.

Fortunately, it is now in spring and the weather is not too cold. It does not matter if the child is wrapped tightly. After all, Zhao Zigao is still young, and he is very tired after seeing so many people today. Master Tang looked distressed and asked the nurse to take him to sleep in the back.

Master Tang originally wanted to coax herself, but today she is the host, and she has to entertain the guests and it is difficult to get away. The nurse took the order to leave, and Tang Shishi left Siyou thinking about not worrying, she found a gap and quietly went back to the backyard to look.

When the nurse and the maid saw Master Tang, they hurriedly saluted: “See the princess.”

Master Tang waved his hand and said, “Get up. Is he asleep?”

“The little princess is very obedient today, and fell asleep after a while.” The nurse opened the curtain to show Master Tang, “I have been asleep for a while.”

Zhao Zigao closed his eyes, breathing steadily, and seemed to be sleeping very well. Master Tang is relieved and said softly: “Look carefully, don’t let anyone disturb him. He may be hungry after a while. If he can still fall asleep after breastfeeding, let him continue to sleep. If he is awake, then hold him. Flower Hall, I will look after him.”

“Yes.”

Master Tang looked at it for a while, determined that there was no problem, and then planned to leave. Before he left, Tang Shishihu sharpened his eyes and saw something.

Master Tang took off a delicate jade hook from the swaddle and asked, “What is this?”

The nurse opened her eyes wide in surprise: “Isn’t this the princess’s thing? The lady thought it was the decoration that the princess gave to the king of the county, and she thought it was pretty good-looking, so she stayed on the baby.”

Master Tang turned the jade hook back and forth, frowning secretly. She asked: “When did you see it?”

“The local women didn’t pay attention. But when the local women coaxed the little princess to sleep, they already had it.”

Master Tang pursed his lips, and it was there when he slept. That was when he was carried from the flower hall to the backyard, or on the way to and from the front yard banquet room, he was quietly put on the child.

Fortunately, this is just a jade hook. If it’s something else, wouldn’t it be unimaginable? However, the other party had a lot of trouble, why did he hang a jade hook on the baby?

Seeing Teacher Tang’s face was wrong, the nurse was so frightened that she was so frightened that she knelt down and said: “The princess is forgiving, the ladies don’t know anything. Isn’t this something wrong?”

Teacher Tang was about to scold the nurse for being careless, suddenly a flash of light in his mind, remembered something.

Jade hook… When he was born, he held jade in his fist, and saw the emperor Fang loosen it. Isn’t this just Mrs. Gouyi?

Tang Shishi suddenly became cold all over, like falling into an ice cave. Mrs. Gouyi is a famous concubine in history. She was originally the daughter of a commoner, and she rose to the sky because she was favored by the emperor. Later, she gave birth to the prince, and the officials worried that the son and the young mother would be strong, and the relatives would have the power, so they said that Emperor Wu would leave the son to the mother and give Madam Gouyi to death.

This person put a jade hook on Zhao Zigao’s swaddling clothes. Does he want to use Mrs. Gouyi’s story to remind her to be careful of being left with her son and mother?

Are these things already happening or are they happening now?
