It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

In Kunning Palace, Master Tang leaned on the beauty couch, beating his waist while complaining to Du Juan: “It’s a real suffering to get pregnant in the summer.”

The summer in Jinling was already hot, and Tang Shishi had a big belly, which was not uncomfortable. Seeing this, Du Juan asked: "Manny, the slave and maidservant let Shanggong Bureau send ice over?"

Master Tang was pregnant, so he didn't dare to use ice at all, so he could only fan in the house. Master Tang thought for a while, still shook his head: "Forget it, using too many cold things is not good for the child, just bear it for a while."

Dujuan hurriedly stepped forward to shake the fan for Master Tang. She slapped the fan lightly and said, "Manny, since you are not well, why don't you tell your majesty?"

Master Tang snorted coldly, yin and yang strangely said: "What's the use of telling him? I don't want me to bear it."

Just when Liu Ji approached, he heard such a sentence. Zhao Chengjun was afraid of quarreling Master Tang to rest, and prevented the **** at the door from reporting. He did not expect to hit this scene.

Liu Ji was embarrassed, so he hurried to see Zhao Chengjun and found that the old master was there, looking indifferent. Liu Ji tentatively said: "The mother is pregnant and her temper changes quickly, so she is not complaining about her Majesty."

There was no change on Zhao Chengjun's face. Liu Ji was afraid that he would be angry, but Zhao Chengjun was used to it a long time ago. Isn't it normal for him to be scolded?

Teacher Tang always finds him to vent his anger wherever he feels uncomfortable. Normal operation, what's all the fuss about.

The maids in Kunning Palace noticed that Zhao Chengjun was coming, and hurriedly knelt down to salute: "See Your Majesty."

At this time, Master Tang knew that he was coming. She was stunned for a while on the collapse, and then motioned Du Juan to support her and slowly stood up. Zhao Chengjun watched her movements with trepidation, and immediately said: "Don't move, sit down."

But this time, Master Tang did not sit back to the original position as before, but still had to salute. Zhao Chengjun sighed in his heart, stepped forward to hold Master Tang's arm, and forcibly prevented her from moving: "Sit down."

Teacher Tang snorted from his nose, and said stiffly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Du Juan stood by and saluted. She looked at Tang Shishi and then at Zhao Chengjun quietly, wondering if she wanted to round the field. The queen looks like this... it doesn't seem to be a soft word. Cuckoo stayed behind and could see the opportunity to rescue a wave. If he retreats, the queen may be angry with her majesty again.

When Dujuan hesitated, Liu Jiqing cleared the noise and motioned everyone out with his eyes. Du Juan was reluctant, but was dragged away by the court ladies.

Master Tang drove away the palace lady as soon as Zhao Chengjun came in, and snorted softly, broke away from Zhao Chengjun's hand, sat down slowly, and asked, "Your Majesty will chase people when you come in. What is this going to do?"

Zhao Chengjun didn't care that Master Tang shook off his hand. He was afraid that she was flashing his waist, so he still went forward to help her sit down, and then sat down beside her: "Why are you so temperamental?"

Master Tang laughed: "Your Majesty thinks I have a bad temper?"

Zhao Chengjun knew that if he accepted this, then today would be endless. He avoided it wisely and said, "Well, everything is good in my eyes. I'm just afraid you will hurt my body."

Master Tang said, "There are so many important and urgent matters waiting for your majesty's attention in the foreign dynasty. Where can our mother and son dare to disturb the emperor?"

Zhao Chengjun sighed secretly, he knew that the time to come would always come. Zhao Chengjun did not argue or argue, lay down and scolded, saying: "I am wrong, I have neglected you these days. Is he good in your stomach, has he tossed?"

Master Tang did not speak. Zhao Chengjun cautiously coaxed his sweet wife. She didn't answer, so he went to find it himself. Zhao Chengjun touched it directly, but it was a pity that this child was not like Zhao Zigao. Zhao Chengjun waited on his stomach for a long time and didn't see him move.

Zhao Chengjun retracted his hand with some regret, and said, "It shouldn't be, Zhao Zigao likes to move at noon this month."

Master Tang said quietly, "Perhaps he doesn't know you, so he's wary in his heart, so I don't want to move."

Zhao Chengjun was said to be helpless, but he also knew that what Master Tang said was reasonable. When he was pregnant with Zhao Zigao, he basically accompanied him throughout the whole process, but the second child happened to be enthroned. In contrast, he spent too little time with his second child.

Zhao Chengjun said: "Okay, it's my fault. When I come back, I will accompany him more."

Master Tang vaguely heard something wrong, wait for him to come back? What does this mean? But before Master Tang wants to understand, Zhao Chengjun continued: "I have discussed with Taifu Wang, and wait for next year, let Taifu's grandson enter the palace and accompany Zhao Zigao. reading."

Zhao Chengjun's voice was flat, as if it were just an unusual thing. Master Tang's attention was diverted, and he frowned and asked, "Enlightenment next year?"

"Next year he will be three years old, and it's almost time."

Master Tang still frowned, it's too early. Zhao Zigao couldn't enjoy his carefree childhood for several years, so he had to go to school. But Teacher Tang also knew intellectually that this was for the good of Zhao Zigao.

Master Tang was caught in the entanglement of emotion and reason. Zhao Chengjun looked at her profile quietly and said, "The youngest grandson of Taifu is one year older than Zhao Zigao, and the two happen to be company. Taifu Wang is very knowledgeable and governs the family strictly. No men in their family are allowed to take concubines. Growing up in an environment, I want to come to Wang Qilang not bad, just to be Zhao Zigao's companion."

Even if Tang Shishi doesn't understand politics anymore, he knows that the prince and princess's accompanying students are not randomly selected, and they often represent the political forces behind them. Zhao Chengjun intended to bring Zhao Zigao and Wang's family closer? Why?

Master Tang was puzzled, so he asked, "Both children are young, one is one year old, and the other is two years old. They can't even tell the truth. Why do you want to study with you now?"

"It's okay to make an early decision." Zhao Chengjun said, "Say it earlier, and let the Wang family prepare earlier."

Teacher Tang felt wrong just now, and now she is more suspicious. Master Tang frowned and asked, "Are you hiding something from me? Why did you say just now that you are waiting for your return, do you want to go out?"

It's not stupid yet, I heard it anyhow. Zhao Chengjun smiled and put her chin on her hair, saying: "The King Zhou and King Qi intend to rebel. In a few days, I will leave Beijing to conquer. I will leave Liu Ji in the palace. What's the matter? Just go find Liu Ji."

Teacher Tang was startled, his eyes widened suddenly. Personally... It's exactly the same as in the book.

Then he accidentally concealed an arrow, died young, etc., is it also going to happen?

Zhao Chengjun leaned against Master Tang’s hair with a delicate fragrance, thinking that if something happened to him this time, with the presence of Wang Taifu, Liu Ji, and the Clan’s Mansion, they would definitely support Zhao Zigao as the emperor. As for Xiang Ying, Yang Shoufu and others, Zhao Chengjun is quite sure that one is Zhao Zixun, who is an adult and jealous, and the other is Zhao Zigao, who is young and innocent. They will definitely choose Zhao Zigao.

When the emperor was young, he would definitely need the queen dowager to assist in politics, and Tang Shishi could finally realize her dream, truly achieving what she wanted and doing what she wanted.

Zhao Chengjun originally thought that he had no selfish intentions and that he would be able to treat his parents and adopted children fairly. But then he discovered that he should never challenge humanity.

Not even he himself.

After all, he was partial to Master Tang. As long as she can sit back and relax in her life and get what she wants, Zhao Chengjun will die and be at ease.

Master Tang lowered his eyes and fell into a long silence. In the book, Zhao Chengjun was succeeded by Zhao Zixun after his death, because Zhao Zixun was supported by Zhou family and Ren family, and secondly because there was no other choice. Zhao Chengjun did not have a biological son, only Zhao Zixun was an adopted son, and before Zhao Chengjun set off, he had established Zhao Zixun as the crown prince, which shows that Zhao Zixun’s wish was for Zhao Zixun to inherit the throne. Therefore, Zhao Zixun succeeded to the throne without any twists and turns.

But this time everything is different. Zhao Chengjun had a biological son, and Zhao Zixun was not established as a prince. According to the deep-rooted clan thinking of the world, after Zhao Chengjun's death, of course, his own son should inherit the family business. The adopted children can share some of the property, but how can the throne not give the parents to the adopted children?

Moreover, Zhao Chengjun asked the grandson of the Wang family as a companion to Zhao Zigao, so that the Wang family would stand by Zhao Zigao's side. Liu Ji is also in the palace. Liu Ji is a loyal supporter of the royal lineage. After the incident, he will definitely support Zhao Zigao in the upper position.

All in all, although the current situation is unclear, it is actually very beneficial to Tang Shishi. If Zhao Chengjun is allowed to choose, he may not choose Zhao Zigao, but if Zhao Chengjun passes away without leaving a will, then the prejudice of the world will completely fall to Master Tang.

Master Tang was silent, she already had an eight-point chance of winning, as long as she didn't say anything, the position of the queen mother was in her pocket. But in this way, Zhao Chengjun is about to die.

It took him so long to take revenge and make plans, but he died on the eve of victory.

Master Tang lowered his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty insists on asking him personally?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Zhao Chengjun laughed and hugged Tang Shishi, and said: "It started because of me, and I should end it. From the beginning, these wars, conspiracies, and coups are all my business. You are just dragged into it by me."

"Time and situation are inseparable, there is no difference between you and me." Teacher Tang said with a bad tone, and said hard, "You are not afraid, what accident did you have on the way out?"

"I have been marching for many years, and I don't know how many battles I have fought in the northwest. It is no accident that I fought against the Tatars, and I'm afraid of my two little brothers?

Master Tang pursed his lips and said, "This is different."

"Where is it different?"

Teacher Tang was speechless, and felt that what was said was wrong for the first time. What would she say? Could it be that you didn't die in front of the line, but you would be poisoned by a dark arrow shot from behind when you retreat?

Master Tang was still thinking about how to express the truth and credibility of this sentence without being doubted. She was distressed, and a soft laugh came from above her head.

Zhao Chengjun hugged her and the child tightly, his chin pressed against her hair, and smiled silently. He had no intention of tempting her, but she was willing to remind him and save him, he was dead without regret.

Master Tang felt that something was wrong when he heard him laugh. Master Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Chengjun thought to herself, she was not smart enough or cruel enough after all. If she can be cruel and let Zhao Chengjun die, then she will be able to sit back and relax in the rest of her life. When the queen is favored again, how can it be compared to the queen dowager?

Zhao Chengjun said, "Why don't you wear the blue long skirt in your closet anymore?"

Master Tang's face suddenly changed when he heard it. Master Tang never wore that suit. She hid the book in it! How could Zhao Chengjun know?

As soon as Zhao Chengjun saw her reaction, she knew that she had never checked it since the last time she watched it. He sighed secretly: "You are really big-hearted."

Master Tang sat in the same position and didn't move. She didn't try to find it, nor did she pretend not to know. Instead, she asked, "You test me?"

"No." Zhao Chengjun said, "If I want to test you, I won't say these things to you. But if you can remind me, I'm still very happy."

Master Tang's heartbeat slowly calmed down. Yes, if Zhao Chengjun was testing her just now, there was no need to tell her about the book. I thought that the book would have been put back to its original place long ago. If Zhao Chengjun didn't say anything, Master Tang would not know anything at all.

Master Tang suddenly felt complicated. Zhao Chengjun hugged her tightly and said, "You can wait for me with your child at home with peace of mind, and I will be back."

Master Tang blinked, and thick water mist filled the inside: "Okay."
