It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Tang Shishi sat on the Luohan bed in a daze, with her wet hair pressed against her clothes, and soon wet her shoulders and backs. But Master Tang didn't notice it.

Since Master Tang learned of the plot, she has been unwilling to be content with the ending of her death, and has been fighting hard for the plot and the heroine. But the fact is, she didn't grab anything, but pushed the male lead farther and farther. Now, she even missed her original plot.

Master Tang was instantly flustered, and even his fingers began to tremble. Master Tang kept comforting himself, it didn't matter, this was just a small derailment, and it won't affect the overall trend, and the plot will soon be repaired.

However, there was another voice in Master Tang's heart, and that voice echoed in her ears for no reason.

Will not.

This book is called "The Story of Shun Hua", and what really matters is the plot of Zhou Shunhua. As long as the relationship between Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun does not cause a mess, which beauty Lu Yufei supports in the end does not affect the overall line.

Zhou Shunhua is gone, but Lu Yufei is indifferent by Zhao Zixun, and Lu Yufei desperately needs someone to fight for her. In the plot, Lu Yufei chose Master Tang. Master Tang is beautiful enough that no man can bear such a beauty in the backyard. As long as Zhao Zixun spoils Master Tang, he has inherited Lu Yufei's goodness. After a long time, Zhao Zixun can no longer be cold to Lu Yufei.

Originally Tang Shishi was the best candidate, but now Lu Yufei didn't know what to worry about. He didn't choose Tang Shishi, but asked Ji Xinxian with King Jing. Ji Xinxian is of the same type as Master Tang in a sense, beautiful and unassuming, although far less glamorous than Master Tang, and less effective in wooing men, other than that, there is not much difference.

Master Tang sat on the couch for a long time without moving, his fingers getting colder and colder. She wanted to replace the heroine, but unexpectedly, she herself was replaced by Ji Xinxian earlier.

Master Tang held his forehead, his whole body seemed to be drawn out of strength, and he was dejected.

The next day, Dujuan happily called Master Tang to get up, but she waited outside for a long time without seeing any movement in the bed net. Dujuan was strange, and walked to the bed lightly and asked, "Girl, it's time to get up. I can't keep up with the study if I can't afford it."

Once Master Tang was most afraid of being late, but this time, Du Juan called several times, and Master Tang did not move. Cuckoo was scared, and quickly opened the bed net: "Girl?"

Master Tang was lying in the bed curtain with her back facing her, her black hair scattered, her eyes closed, half of her face buried in the quilt, looking beautiful and fragile. Cuckoo lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what's the matter with you?"

Master Tang didn't open his eyes, buried his face in the quilt, and said, "I'm not feeling well. Go to the study to take a leave. I won't go today."

Dujuan was taken aback, and hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked urgently: "Girl, why are you uncomfortable? Did you catch the wind last night? The slave and maid will call the imperial doctor."

Du Juan stood up, and was about to run out in a hurry, but was cried out by Master Tang in a low voice, "Don't toss. You all go out and leave me alone."

Du Juan stopped talking. She felt that there was something wrong with the girl today, but looking at Master Tang's pale face, Du Juan did not dare to say any more, for fear of irritating her. Cuckoo put hot water on the tables next to the bed, lowered the curtains, and quietly exited.

Dujuan walked outside, winked at the girls and motioned to them all to come out. The crowd followed out without knowing it, and asked, "Sister Du Juan, what's wrong?"

"The girl is in a bad mood today." Du Juan sighed and said, "Tumi, your legs are fast, go to the study and tell Grandpa Liu that the girl is not going today."

Master Tang lay on the bed for a long time, and she hadn't sleepy anymore, even if she closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep. Despite this, she didn't want to move.

Tang Shishi was trapped in the soft brocade, as if lying in the clouds, fluttering, without a point of effort. Master Tang closed her eyes and kept thinking about what she has done in the past few years.

She is high-spirited, unwilling to be resigned, and will always fight and forge ahead like a chicken blood. No matter how many setbacks she encounters, she can turn her head to regain optimism. Previously, Master Tang made many mistakes and made almost fatal mistakes several times, but Master Tang has been comforting herself, it doesn't matter, the plot has not yet unfolded, she has seized the opportunity and can definitely change her destiny.

However, she was given a head shot last night, and the plot that belonged to her had already unfolded, but due to the events of Tang Master's early stage, the causal link affected one link, and instead made her completely derailed.

She lost the opportunity to be appointed as a concubine, and likewise, she also lost a series of opportunities to be favored and fight in the palace in the future. Although she could not die well in the original book, after all she climbed into the concubine position, and she once had the beauty of being the best. Now, she doesn't even have the chance to become a concubine.

Her ambition, her desire, her dream of getting ahead, all became nothing.

Master Tang buried his face in the pillow, and he shed tears. She hasn't cried for a long time. She was counted into the palace, taken away from the marriage by Tang Yanyan, and cheated and bullied by the palace. She didn't cry.

This cry was like letting go of the brakes, and the tears burst out of control. Teacher Tang was crying so hard that he couldn't restrain himself, and suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open.

No one was notified at the door, but Master Tang recognized his footsteps at once.

Master Tang was stunned, even the tears stopped. How could he come here? At this time, he should be meeting with foreign ministers.

However, the sound of footsteps had stopped outside the bed tent, he stopped, did not rashly open the curtain, but asked: "What's the matter with you?"

Before the tears on Master Tang’s face were dry, she blinked, her tears could not be controlled for some reason: "Master?"

Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly. He really had no choice but to sit by the bed, ignoring etiquette, and raised his hand to lift the curtain: "It's me. Why are you crying?"

Teacher Tang's tears hung on his face, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation. Why is Zhao Chengjun here? This is her boudoir... No, she is not dressed yet!

Tang Shishi only wears Chinese clothes, which is very inappropriate no matter who you see, and Zhao Chengjun is still a man. Half of Master Tang's body was stiff, and he clenched the quilt tightly like a wood, and said, "My lord, the little girl doesn't know you are driving, the clothes are disheveled, and there is impolite manner..."

"It's okay." Zhao Chengjun thought to himself that he has appeared here, and what etiquette is there to speak of. Up to now, the boundaries that should and shouldn't be crossed have gone, and what etiquette is still emphasized.

Zhao Chengjun looked at her tight shoulders and knew that she was nervous, so he raised his eyes, only falling on Master Tang's black hair, not looking at other parts of her body. I haven't noticed it before, but now I see that her hair is extremely long, black and shiny, and it looks beautiful when it is falling down.

Zhao Chengjun was afraid of frightening her, lowered his voice, and said, "Don't worry, Liu Ji is guarding outside. Others don't know that I've been here. It won't affect your reputation."

Master Tang suddenly buried his face in the pillow, Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Who is bullying you?"

Master Tang shook his head with his face buried, and said in a dull voice: "No, I am in a bad mood."

"If you are in a bad mood, you can't stop eating." Zhao Chengjun knew that she was in a bad mood, and didn't pierce her, saying, "Get up and eat first. If you have something to say slowly, you can't get along with your body."

Teacher Tang was still buried in the pillow, Zhao Chengjun patted her on the head lightly and said, "I'm waiting for you outside."

After he finished speaking, the edge of the bed lightened, the sound of footsteps faded away, and even the bedroom door was closed.

Master Tang waited for a while, and slowly got up from the bed. She looked at the direction of the door, incomprehensible.

why? Master Tang is self-aware, she is just a dispensable existence in the study, if she does not say anything, I am afraid that no one will find out if she disappeared all morning. She just took a day off, so why would Zhao Chengjun chase it personally?

From the perspective of a man to a woman, a man is gentle and small, and speaking softly, it must be for eroticism. But just now, Zhao Chengjun sat on the side of the bed, his eyes didn't look randomly, and his body didn't do anything wrong. He didn't use Master Tang's bad mood to get started directly. Instead, he calmed her emotionally and took the initiative to withdraw and even closed the door for her.

She considers herself incompetent and moral, and her wealth is not enough for Zhao Chengjun to see. The only beauty she has does not seem to be a big deal in Zhao Chengjun's eyes.

Why did he do this?

Master Tang changed his clothes warmly and walked outside slowly. Outside the bedroom, breakfast has been arranged. Zhao Chengjun saw her and seemed to linger on her face for a moment, and then said calmly: "Your maid said you like to eat these, you can try to make it to your appetite."

Master Tang sat down at the table, looking at the table full of vegetables, a little at a loss. This is indeed what she likes to eat, but it is much more than her normal portion. Master Tang picked up the bowl, sandwiched a piece of apricot flower cake, and chewed slowly.

Zhao Chengjun sat opposite and waited for her, but didn't mean to move his chopsticks. Zhao Chengjun had already used breakfast, and he was extremely demanding of himself. Except for three meals a day, he would not eat easily the rest of the time.

After taking a piece of Master Tang, he was a little embarrassed and asked, "Master, are you still waiting for official duties outside? Sorry, it took your time."

"If you know the time is wasted, please raise yourself as soon as possible." Zhao Chengjun said, "Since you feel tired, you don't have to go to the study room and rest for a while. You don't have to worry about things outside, just rest assured."

Master Tang lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Why be such an exception to her?

"Your maid said that you are not doing well, I have to come and see." Zhao Chengjun looked at her and sighed slightly, "How come you cry like this?"

Master Tang realized that there were tear marks on her face, and she hurriedly turned her body to cover her face. Zhao Chengjun looked at her inexplicably choked up like this. She used to keep her face up high, calculating with confidence and making troubles, but now her hair hangs down, her face is white, her shoulders are thin and thin, and she looks extremely fragile.

Zhao Chengjun burned an unknown fire in his heart. He didn't do anything to Master Tang. Who would dare to make Master Tang depressed like this? Zhao Chengjun's tone to Master Tang became softer, and asked, "What happened?"

Master Tang was silent for a while, and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with others, it is my own problem. Lord, you are right, my eyes are low, I am so lofty, my ability is not worthy of ambition, and I can't do anything well. I am neither smart nor dexterous. , But he refuses to sink his heart and polish it; the character is not likable, and he has to grab others for everything, but he can't do it well when he gets it. After living for so long, no one likes me at all except my mother."

As Master Tang said, he couldn't help crying, "I can't do anything, how can I help my mother out? I really failed."

Master Tang didn't want people to see how ugly he was crying, and put his hands firmly on his face. Zhao Chengjun looked at it for a while, held her wrist, and slowly lowered her hand covering her face.

Master Tang didn't want to let go, but Zhao Chengjun's strength was very determined. He didn't have much strength, but he held it on her wrist, and he couldn't refuse.

"No." Zhao Chengjun looked at Master Tang's tearful face and said, "You don't have to be what others like, and you don't have to be perfect anytime. This is you, you don't need to cater to others, you are just fine now. . Don’t cry, it’s me."

Zhao Chengjun is not a soft-hearted person. He is used to seeing tears in the court. The crying methods of those women are full of tricks, and Zhao Chengjun has long been calm. If people like Lu Yufei and Zhou Shunhua were crying in front of him, Zhao Chengjun would only feel hypocritical and bored. If it was Mrs. Xu and his like, he felt stupid enough to deserve it.

But when this person was replaced by Tang Shishi, Zhao Chengjun couldn't stand it all at once. Zhao Chengjun originally didn't want to reveal his trump card to Master Tang. Women are the most arrogant, and Master Tang is one of them. Once Master Tang knew his bottom line, Zhao Chengjun was very passive.

But now, Zhao Chengjun can't cover it up at all. A person who was so noisy with Master Tang now collapsed and covered his face, saying that he could not do anything well, and Zhao Chengjun's heart was also crumpled.

Forget it, Zhao Chengjun sighed and let her this time.

Zhao Chengjun stood up, wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes for Master Tang, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, your mother's matter will be resolved. You rest at ease, and I will see you in a few days."

Teacher Tang looked at Zhao Chengjun in a daze, with tears still in his eyes. Zhao Chengjun wiped away the tears, rubbed her hair gently, and walked out of the room quickly.

Outside the house, the courtyard was full of many maids standing. Zhao Chengjun closed the door and turned around, his face suddenly gloomy.

The gentle patience towards Master Tang disappeared in an instant, Zhao Chengjun suppressed the wind and rain in his eyebrows, and asked, "Who did she see yesterday?"

The servants were too scared to breathe. Finally, Du Juan stepped forward with courage and said tremblingly: "The girl went to Liuyunyuan yesterday and had a conversation with Ji Meiren. When she came out, she met Miss Feng Qian. But the girl used it last night. It was fine during dinner, and I slept, not knowing why this happened."

Ji Xinxian? Zhao Chengjun squinted slightly, and almost thunder was about to set off around his body.

Isn't that Zhao Zixun's newly acquired concubine room? Her strangeness is related to Zhao Zixun again?

After Zhao Chengjun left, Shishi Tang sat in the house by himself and did not move for a long time. Zhao Chengjun is not a good-tempered person. He used to be volatile and moody, and he always didn't have a good face when facing her. But when Master Tang was emotionally down, he was as tolerant and calm as an elder, calmly, and smoothed out all the inferiority and anxiety of Master Tang.

After all, he is King Jing. He has undergone dynasty changes and court turmoil. At the age of fourteen, he set up a mansion on his own and went to battle to kill the enemy. Regardless of intelligence, emotional intelligence or experience, he is much higher than Tang Shishi.

With such a person by his side, who can resist admiration?

Master Tang sat blankly, the breakfast in front of her was cold, but she had no appetite. Master Tang smiled bitterly. She laughed at Zhou Shunhua a few days ago, but she didn't expect that the hesitant person would become her so quickly.

Once people have feelings, they hesitate. Master Tang closed his eyes vigorously, suppressing the throbbing in his heart. Without feelings, there will be no weakness, and she cannot become like Zhou Shunhua.

Master Tang repeated it several times in her heart. After she calmed down again, she opened her eyes and said loudly, "Cuckoo, change clothes, I'm going to the garden to relax."

Teacher Tang wants to go out to relax, and the maids naturally have nothing to do with it. In a panic, Du Juan changed his clothes to Master Tang, and put on makeup and hair. After Tang Shishi walked to the garden, he sent the maids far away under the pretext of enjoying the flowers alone.

Behind the flower bushes, an old lady in solid wood was building branches and leaves. Holding the scissors in her hand, the woman moved slowly along the flowers, just behind the dead end of the rockery.

Master Tang stood by the corridor, as if looking up at the flowers, but his lips moved slightly: "Mr. Wu, I need a medicine."

"What medicine?"

"Aphrodisiac."
