It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

"Are you serious about this?"

Feng Qian stood up from the seat quickly, her nails buckling into the armrest unconsciously.

"Back to Miss Feng, the servant girl can see clearly." A disc-faced servant girl approached and said, "When the servant girl went to the Fei Jiayuan to deliver things, she saw Miss Tang retching. After vomiting for a long time, she didn't vomit anything. There are still sour plums in the room."

The maid compared it to her stomach, and said vaguely: "Isn't this there, what else can it be?"

Feng Qian stood on the ground, her face changing. She reluctantly calmed herself down and slowly sat back in her seat.

Master Tang is actually pregnant? No wonder she stayed behind closed doors during this time, because she wanted to hide it from everyone. If she is pregnant, who is the father of the child?

King Jing? Seiko? Or a wild man who doesn't know where?

Feng Qian eliminated the last two items intuitively. In the spirit of Teacher Tang, she would never be reconciled to a savage man without a name or a surname. It is possible for the elder son, but Feng Qian inexplicably thinks not.

It's hard to say why, but Feng Qian just dare to be sure. Teacher Tang said that he would not dare to climb the prince high, and he seemed to be actively fighting for the elder son in action, but this happened to be the brilliance of Master Tang. Women have no intentions, they are the biggest intentions. To deal with a man like Zhao Chengjun, if he chooses to pursue directly, he will dismiss it. Only by wanting to arrest and indulging, constantly arousing Zhao Chengjun's interest, and frequently mentioning other men in front of him, making him jealous, and making him want to conquer, can he conquer this person.

Teacher Tang is obviously one of the masters. It is ridiculous that she also told Feng Qian that she had no intention of Yu Jing, but Feng Qian had seen it through the first day. If it is really unintentional, why does she look at King Jing's eyes so bright? Why did her eyes fall more on the prince when the prince and the prince were in the same room?

This scheming **** is a fox for thousands of years. Who is it to lie here?

Feng Qian carefully reviewed the situation with her eyebrows twisted. By the way, the day she administered the medicine to Master Tang, she was just in time for King Jing's expedition. Could it be that Master Tang was so lucky that he ran back to the palace just before King Jing set off?

The previous doubts were easily solved. Feng Qian was originally wondering how Master Tang managed to cure the medicine. Who knew that this woman was so scheming that she managed to climb up to King Jing! Feng Qian felt so angry at the thought of this. The round-faced maid saw Feng Qian's complexion changing, and quickly asked, "Miss Feng, what's the matter with you?"

Feng Qian immediately returned to her senses and coughed pretentiously, and said, "I was too surprised and lost my mind. When did you find Master Tang had morning sickness?"

"Just yesterday." The round-faced maid flattered, "I remember Miss Feng's goodness. I will inform the girl as soon as I get the news. Miss Feng, the prince is not in the palace now. Could it be that this belongs to the elder son?"

Feng Qian smiled drippingly, and said: "Who knows this? I can't wait for this kind of thing.

The decision must be reported to the elder son and concubine.口>Know that you leaked the secret. "For good or bad, you will not be implicated, and Master Tang will not know that it is you who leaked the secret."

Feng Qian said, pushing a heavy He 2 to Mo Baifang to change when she was happy. She did not dare to blend in with the masters' struggle. The situation in the backyard was changing rapidly and when

When the time comes, anyone will be spoiled. When the time comes, An Guwen "It's really good for nothing. If you don't want to come forward, Feng Qian is willing to help her keep a secret, naturally it's better.

The round-faced maid hurriedly took her purse to Dan and the two = a life of safety. "Girl. Ms. Feng is really a good person, she will have a good life and a safe life in the future."

Feng Qian slowly smiled and said, "You deserve it. If you have any news in the future, remember to tell me, the reward is only a lot more."

"Hey, the servant can save it!"

Feng Qian smiled and watched the round-faced maid leave. After the maid walked out of sight, Feng Qian immediately retracted all her smiles and sneered, "A short-sighted idiot who is greedy for money. However, this idiot helped me a lot."

Feng Qian walked slowly to the window, broke a red balsam flower, and crushed it bit by bit. The bright red juice dripped from her fingertips: "Things that are too ostentatious are not worthy of living well. You are not as smart as I am, not as wise as I am, and not as strong as my mind. Except for your face, you have nothing better than me. Why are you?"

The summer night is hard to dissipate, the sun has been set for a while, and the air is still hot. The sky slowly turned from blue to dark blue, and the hazy twilight enveloped the Palace of King Jing, the trees were verdant, and the insects cried.

Lu Yukao's room was full of brilliance. It was already night. Lu Yugui changed his clothes on purpose and dusted his face. She held the kerchief and sat opposite Zhao Zixun, swaying under the light: "Second son, the concubine does not know you are coming, and did not prepare dinner. Would you like to have something to eat?"

"No, I have already used dinner." Zhao Zixun seemed to have no intention of talking to Lu Yugui. He didn't say a word of nonsense, and went directly to the topic. "I heard that you were in the garden a few days ago. , And kill Master Tang's fox?"

Today is not the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, but Zhao Zixun came to her. Lu Yukang was secretly happy, but he didn't expect Zhao Zixun to ask other people. Lu Yu's smile was slightly stagnant, and his expression sank: "That's right. Master Tang's fox scratched Xi Yunchu, and I can't help but explain. The son of the world is so busy reading and practicing martial arts every day that he is too busy to set foot in the backyard. Why do you think of asking today? Fox?"

Is it the fox or the owner of the fox that Zhao Zixun wants to ask?

Zhao Zixun hadn't waited to see Lu Yukao, but when she heard her talking like this, her heart became more unhappy. He thought of the gossip he heard a few days ago, tried his best to endure, and said: "You are a concubine, you have to show the attitude of being a mistress, don't catch small things, just know to stare at the trivial matter. There is also the second lady of Xi Xi’s family. When you are in the cabinet, if there is nothing important, don't take Seongil to the palace."

Zhao Zixun's words were very rude, and Lu Yu almost quarreled again with a gloomy face. Taking into account that it is not easy for the husband and wife to meet once, she reluctantly endures it and said: "I am not a three-year-old child, and naturally know the truth about avoiding suspicion. Don't worry, I will keep a distance from Xi's family next time."

Zhao Zixun frowned, Lu Yugui was always like this, obviously he didn't understand anything, but he didn't know how to pretend to understand. For example, she didn't understand what Zhao Zixun meant at all.

Zhao Zixun implied that she rarely interacted with Xi Yunchu, and that Xi Yunchu was not a candidate for the princess. The closer she is now, the more embarrassing she will be when the truth is revealed in the future. Lu Yu trusted well and helped Xi Yunchu to treat the people in the royal palace harshly. Zhao Zixun personally came to pick her up. Lu Yu also made up for his crime, thinking that the royal palace was about to be married to Xi's family and wanted to avoid suspicion.

Simply stupid.

Zhao Zixun was angry. He was about to say something when his wife stopped outside and reported: "Earth son, son concubine, someone is asking to see you."

Zhao Zixun paused, and Lu Yuxin stood up frowning and asked outside: "Who is it so late?"

"It's Miss Feng Qian. She said that there is a very important thing, and she must ask to see Shizi and Shizi concubine."

"Feng Qian?" Lu Yuxin's brows tightened. "What is she here for?"

Zhao Zixun noticed that Feng Qian mentioned "seeking to see the son", and his eyes narrowed slightly. It seems that Feng Qian is here for him. Zhao Zixun calmly said, "She is not a ignorant person. She said that, maybe something really matters. Let her come in."

"Yes."

Feng Qian entered the room and bowed her head to Zhao Zixun and Lu Yu. After a long time no see, Feng Qian still looks delicate, soft and weak, Zhao Zi asked, "What happened to you when you came at night?"

Feng Qian's face is white, and she can almost see the cyan blood vessels through her skin, but her lips are bright red. In contrast, she is very strange: "My son, I have an important matter to report. This matter affects It’s great, it’s not convenient to tell others."

Zhao Zixun looked at Feng Qian and gestured to his left and right subordinates, and the maid and Xiaosang retreated outside the door together. However, Feng Qian still refused to say.

Lu Yujiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Miss Feng is such a big air, is it possible that even my concubine, my concubine, can't listen?"

"Of course not." Feng Qian didn't want to make enemies at this critical moment. She stepped back and said, "The concubine Shizi is the mistress of the inner courtyard, so I can hear it. I'm just afraid that this kind of thing will stain the ears of the concubine Shizi."

Lu Yuxin patiently ran out, and asked impatiently: "What is the matter with you?"

Feng Qian slowly raised her head, her bright red lips closed together under the light, red like blood, which was shocking.

"Second son, concubine, Master Tang is pregnant."

After Feng Qian finished speaking, the lanterns in the corner of the room burst with a bang, the candlelight shook violently, and Lu Yuxin's hands shook as well.

After a while, Lu Yugui's voice was so tense that he heard a little altered voice: "Are you sure?"

"It's about the women's festival, how dare I make a joke about this kind of thing." Feng Qian smiled lightly and said, "It's true or not, and the world will know if I take a look."

Feng Qian only said "Shi Zi" in her words, and Zhao Zixun became more certain that she came for herself.

As for why Zhao Zixun can probably guess, women's minds are always so fragmented and tit-for-tat, especially two beautiful beauties. Master Tang is not yet married but is pregnant. This kind of scandal will naturally stab a man in front of him.

Now that Zhao Chengjun is not there, this candidate has become Zhao Zixun. Zhao Zixun was a little confused, he couldn't tell what his mood was like. Master Tang is pregnant? Whose?

He was surprised, surprised, and mixed with undetected anger. Zhao Zixun stood up with a calm face and said coldly: "If you dare to lie, this world will never forgive you. Come, go to the Fei Jiayuan."

Only during this time of the day was the most comfortable time, when Master Tang leaned against the window to embroider, and after embroidering a few stitches, it was dark. Dujuan snatched the embroidered shed to prevent Master Tang from bothering.

During this period of time, Master Tang was really tired of doing anything, so he also let the cuckoo take things away. She was so bored that she couldn't help but look to the sky and count the days silently.

July has passed-most of it, Zhao Chengjun has been away from the house for two and a half months. Naturally, the child in her belly is two and a half months old.

Teacher Tang stopped thinking about this every time he thought about it, and refused to think about it. She didn't dare to think about whether the child was going or staying, and she didn't dare to think about what to do next. She is like a ridiculous ostrich. As long as she blindfolds her eyes and doesn't think about it, bad luck will never come.

When Master Tang was looking at the stars, he accidentally caught a bright light outside. Before Master Tang could understand where the light came from, the burst of light stopped in front of the Fei Jia Courtyard and pushed open the door aggressively.

Zhao Zixun stood at the forefront, followed by Lu Yugui and Feng Qian. Master Tang sank suddenly.

She already knew what would happen next. Shishi Tang sat on the embroidered stool, his hands and feet were cold for a moment, and his consciousness became chaotic, as if he had lost control of his body.

Master Tang couldn't hide her loss. When this feeling appeared, Master Tang realized that she was looking forward to it. Who does she think will be the first person to come?

The maids in the Jianjia courtyard were taken aback. Du Juan hurriedly ran to the door and said, "Greetings to the elder son and the elder concubine. Elder son, the big night, why are you here?"

Zhao Zixun's battle was not small, and more and more people were alarmed by the fire. Someone was curious, and secretly opened the door to check, Zhao Zixun ignored everyone's inquisitive gaze and let people surround the Lai Jia courtyard.

Du Juan knew the inside story and was frightened by the battle in front of him: "My son, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Zixun didn't mean to pay attention to Du Juan at all. He asked with a cold face, "Where is Master Tang?"

"The girl is not feeling well, she has just fallen asleep...

Zhao Zixun sneered when she heard: "The light was still on in the room, so she was already asleep? Is she unwell, or is there a ghost in her heart?"

Du Juan's face was pale, and he said: "My son, have you misunderstood something...

"Cuckoo." A soft voice came from the top of the courtyard. Master Tang's voice was not high, but everyone in the courtyard instantly focused on her.

Shishi Tang is wearing a light blue cloak, no pink or daisy is applied, and the bun is drooping, as light as hibiscus after rain and white plum in snow. Master Tang turned out to have white skin, and he hadn't been out for a long time during this period, and his face was as clear as porcelain, shining slightly in the night.

Master Tang disappeared for two months, and many people almost forgot the first beauty who crowned Jinghua and radiantly shined. Now that Teacher Tang appeared again, the beauty was reduced in figure, and her expression was cold, and the appearance of sickness did not compromise her beauty in the slightest, but added more temptation.

She used to be like an aggressive rose, a luxurious peony, beautiful but beautiful, but she was awe-inspiring to look at. But now, the rose breaks its branches and the frost beats the peony, which makes people more urge to pick.

Master Tang looked at the people in the courtyard, without the slightest nervousness or self-familiarity, and calmly let them look at them. She put her fingers in the cloak, and gently said to the maids, "Cuckoo, step back. The son is the master of the palace. As long as the son is willing, he will come whenever he wants, and go where he wants to go."

The words of Master Tang were insincere, and Zhao Zixun looked at Master Tang carefully as if he hadn't heard it. She was pale, with long shoulders and neck, because of her wide dress, she couldn't see the waist. But with the corners of her clothes rippling gently in the evening breeze, she could guess that her waist should also be extremely slender.

If it hadn't been reported by someone, it would be hard to tell that she was pregnant. Even her current appearance is a little sick, a little too pale.

Zhao Zixun walked slowly into the courtyard, with a dimly lit lantern on his face, always bright and dark, ignorant of happiness and anger: "I heard that you are not in good health these few days, and you haven’t been cured for so long. Neglect?"

Master Tang lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "The maids are doing very well, but I am not up to date, and I always fail to get better. This is just to blame my maids?"

Zhao Zixun sneered: "Oh? Then your maid is really a loyal servant. On the fifth day of the new year, Du Juan brought a man in and out from the West Point Gate, and sent him away after a quarter of an hour. Master Tang, do you know this?"

Du Juan immediately knelt down. She was about to confess her guilt. Master Tang had already accepted the words indifferently: "I know."

"You know, that means, have you seen this person?"

Master Tang paused for a moment, then responded, "Yes."

"Girl!" Du Juan looked at Master Tang nervously, his eyes full of obstruction. Lu Yuxin showed a surprise look. She covered her lips and said in a strange manner: "Bring the male outside into the house and meet in private, Miss Tang, this kind of thing is not something a good person's daughter would do."

During this period of time, Master Tang’s mood fluctuated greatly. She was in a bad mood. When she heard Lu Yugui’s words, she laughed and said directly: "My rules are all taught by Feng's concubine. If the concubine of the world thinks Feng Yin The concubine is not good, or the empress dowager is not a good family, then I will repair the book and return to Beijing, so that the concubine and the empress dowager will say."

Lu Yu was blocked by words, and his face turned black. The court origin is simply a omnipotent brick, wherever you need to move, loyalty, benevolence, righteousness and morality will crush you. But Lu Yu couldn't even refute it. She dare to say that the empress mother is not her?

Obviously not. Even Zhao Zixun can only avoid topics related to the Queen Mother. Zhao Zixun couldn’t delve into it, so he could only let the maid go, and instead said, “I sent someone to investigate. That man is a quagmire doctor who took over the big deal some time ago. Master Tang, is that mysterious client you? ?"

"It's me." Master Tang has been holding her breath for a long time. Now she sees the people of the Zhao family and is so angry that she doesn't hesitate to spread the fire. "The elder son also said, I have been ill for a long time and I have not recovered. I am in a hurry to go to the doctor, ask the doctor outside to come in and have a look, have you broken the law?"

Zhao Zixun frowned: "Presumptuously, you brought an outsider into the house privately. Not only did you not admit your mistakes, but you also dared to talk to me in this tone?"

Master Tang immediately replied, "Yes, I don't know the etiquette, and I don't understand the rules. The elder son can't be the most elegant, so the elder son's ritual is to bring a pile of people into a woman's boudoir late at night, pressing and aggressive?"

Zhao Zixun's jaw tightened and his lips pressed tightly. Lu Yuxin was both surprised and angry, and reprimanded: "Master Tang, don't push your nose on your face. The son is kind, and only gives you a chance to argue, otherwise, it's time to drag you to the pig cage."

Zhao Zixun's face changed slightly, and he gave Lu Yugui a displeased look. Zhao Zixun didn't even think about immersing pig cages, sinking ponds, etc., but Lu Yu, who was also a woman, hurriedly said out.

It's really embarrassing for a dignified concubine to say such a thing.

Master Tang's face seemed to be paler, July was in the midsummer, but she was wearing a cloak, standing under the light as if she could go with the wind at any time. Zhao Zixun was a little bit intolerant. He coldly reprimanded Lu Yugui: "Rads, is this what you should say? My son is doing business, it is not your turn to interrupt."

Lu Yujiao was taken aback. What she said just now was indeed a bit wrong, but it was reasonable. Unmarried women who do not obey women's way should be immersed in a pig cage? How can Zhao Zixun be in front of so many people?

Scolded her before?

Lu Yugui was very wronged and felt ashamed. But when Zhao Zixun spoke, she didn't dare not listen, so she could only bow her mouth and said, "My concubine is out of shape, please calm down my anger."

Liu Ji heard that Zhao Zixun had led people to surround the Ou Jia courtyard. He had already rested, and quickly got up again and hurried to the inner courtyard. As soon as Liu Ji entered the door, he heard Lu Yu plead guilty by grievances, Zhao Zixun's face was cold, Tang Shishi dropped his neck far away, and the servant servant knelt on the ground. Liu Ji knew something was wrong, so he didn't move his expression, and asked, "Hey, what's wrong, why is the world so angry?"

Seeing that it was Liu Ji, Zhao Zixun's expression became somewhat weaker, and he said, "Daddy Liu. Nothing to worry about for father-in-law. Don't worry about the little things. Father-in-law Liu always goes to bed early, why didn't he rest today?

Liu Jixin said that it wasn't for your troubles. Liu Jihe smiled kindly, and said: "I heard that the old man was moving, and the old slave was worried, so he rushed over to take a look. The old man, it's so late, why are you here?"

Zhao Zixun glanced at Tang Shishi lightly, and said: "Naturally it is for the safety of the palace.

On the fifth day of the fifth year, Tang Shishi once secretly took the Jianghu doctor into the mansion. Ben Shizi wanted to know what she asked the doctor to do. "

Liu Ji was shocked, Master Tang asked the doctor? He makes people stare at Lai Jia Yuan, why doesn't he know?

But now is not the time to care about this, Liu Ji suppressed the question, smiled, and said with a clear face: "It turns out that this is the case. The son of the world doesn't know it, this doctor was invited by the old slave."

Zhao Zixun raised his eyebrows, Liu Ji asked it? I didn't believe this deceit. Liu Ji didn't need a good imperial doctor. Why did he bother to find a doctor outside the palace? Everyone at the scene understood that Liu Ji was giving the teacher Tang back to the bottom. This matter was extraordinary to Master Tang, but to Liu Ji, it was nothing.

Zhao Zixun knew it, but Liu Ji couldn't help it. Liu Ji is a person close to Zhao Chengjun, who has been deeply rooted in the palace for many years, and even Zhao Zixun can't easily shake it. Master Tang’s charge was cleared by Liu Ji, and Zhao Zixun still did not relax, saying: "Since Miss Tang is worried about her body, she should have another medical treatment. Song Taiyi, give her a pulse."

Physician Song, who had been walking behind the crowd, walked out slowly, bowing his sleeves and saluting Zhao Zixun: "Weichen obeys orders."

Liu Ji couldn't tell what Zhao Zixun wanted to do. Moreover, Master Tang was so depressed during this period, Liu Ji didn't dare to care, so he could only watch as he was anxious. Now it is a good thing to have the imperial doctor diagnose and treat it again, so Liu Ji went on his sleeve without stopping.

The Emperor Song gradually approached, Master Tang's body tightened, and his hands were cold: "I have prescribed the medicine, and no outsider is needed to check the pulse."

"You believe in Jianghu doctors, but you don't believe in Taiyuan Hospital?" Zhao Zixun snorted coldly, and said, "Song Taiyi is best at gynecology. He will treat you for the pulse, and you will never be wronged."

Liu Ji frowned, vaguely feeling that Zhao Zixun's words were strange. Master Tang was very resistant, but no matter how hard she struggled, she was still restrained by the maid, and the imperial physician Song took the pulse. Master Tang closed his eyes in despair, feeling that his destiny had completely derailed.

From the beginning of the rainy day, her life was abruptly pulled off the track, unexpectedly-one after another. She just wanted to go back to the days before, and only this wish would not allow her to come true.

Her life and death, her family, and the children in her womb are all like fish on a chopping board. They have no resistance and are allowed to be judged by others.

The Imperial Physician Song only pressed it for a short while, then withdrew his hand, and said, "Ms. Tang's illness is so unusual that Weichen dare not say it."

Seeing the performance of the imperial physician, Zhao Zixun already had the answer in his heart. His face was shockingly cold, and he sternly said: "Say!"

"Yeah." The Grand Doctor Song seemed to sigh. He lowered his eyelids, and his voice was low and dull. "Girl Tang has a cold breath and needs a good life. It would be fine if she is normal, but now she is pregnant for forty days. , It is the fragile time, if you want to protect the baby, you have to deal with it carefully."

After Emperor Song's words were finished, the entire courtyard came to an abrupt end, as silent as death. Master Tang was also stunned, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "What are you talking about, forty days?"
