It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Zhao Zixun’s questioning tone was too obvious, and Lu Yufei was shocked when he was asked, and grieved spontaneously: "Shizi, are you blaming me? Master Tang and the prince are unclear. We, as juniors, interfered with her. I was thankless. I didn’t want to let the prince and the prince have a grievance, so I invited Mrs. Xi with a shy face. Mrs. Xi came forward, even if the prince came back, even if he was unhappy, he would not irritate the world. For the sake of my son!"

Lu Yufei said that thinking of her suffering during this period, she shed tears. Zhao Zixun didn't expect that he just asked a word, and Lu Yufei was still crying. Zhao Zixun feels even more disgusting in his heart. He resisted his impatience and said, "I know you are kind, but I don't like others to make their own decisions. I have already told you before, and you don’t have a relationship with Xi’s family. Called Madam Xi, how can the Xi family not misunderstand? What's more, no matter what happened to the Tang master, this is the internal affairs of the palace. You called Mrs. Xi this time. Next time, if something happens to the palace, should you inform Xi? Madam? In the long run, what prestige is there in the palace?"

Lu Yufei lowered her head and wiped her tears. She was emotionally upset just now and felt that she had been wronged by a great deal. Now that she heard Zhao Zixun's reprimand, she was surprised that Zhao Zixun was right. She tried to call Madam Xi this time. In the future, wouldn’t Madam Xi have more reasons to point fingers at the palace? Only after Lu Yufei realized that she was showing weakness to Xi's family by doing this. Xi Yunchu hadn't even entered the door. After Xi Yunchu became a princess, would it be worth it?

This head could not be opened, Lu Yufei finally reacted and hurriedly said: "It was my concubine who wanted to go wrong, but I sent a post to Xi’s family at noon and invited Mrs. Xi to come to the palace tomorrow. It’s been an afternoon, and the post is definitely Sent over. What should I do?"

Seeing Lu Yufei understand, Zhao Zixun calmed down and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you should send someone to send a letter to Mrs. Xi. Haosheng and Mrs. Xi apologize so that Mrs. Xi does not have to go out. I turned it over. The Xi family wanted to ask the palace, and I didn't dare to be too ignorant of it."

Lu Yufei hurriedly nodded and said with a look of admiration: "Thank you, my son. My son is really resourceful and thoughtful, and my concubine has been taught."

No man can resist a woman's flattery, even a woman who doesn't like it. Zhao Zixun looked a little better. He thought to himself that he might have been too harsh on Lu Yufei just now. What insights could the woman have in the house. He takes the decision-making power of major events into his own hands, as for trivial matters, leave them to toss.

Zhao Zixun said: "It's fine if you understand. In the future, except for the housekeeper, don't intervene in anything else. Go back."

"Yes." Lu Yufei blessed his body and said kindly, "The concubine body must send a letter to Mrs. Xi tomorrow morning, and the elder son can rest assured."

Early the next morning, Lu Yufei deliberately woke up early and went to write to Mrs. Xi as soon as he got his hair. After all, Xi Yunchu wanted to marry in and become the princess, Lu Yufei didn't dare to offend Xi's family too much. She deleted, deleted, and subtracted. After a long period of deliberation, she finally finalized the draft.

Lu Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, took a piece of exquisite letterhead, and copied the letter neatly. After she finished writing, Lu Yufei was relieved. As soon as she stuffed the letter paper into the envelope, she heard the maids rushing to announce: "Shi Zifei, Madam Xi and Miss Xi Er are here."

"What?" Lu Yufei was taken aback, stood up abruptly, and the chair made a harsh rubbing sound on the ground, "Are they here already?"

"That's right. Madam Xi said that the concubine Shi Zi asked her for help. She did not dare to be careless, and hurried over as soon as the curfew was opened. Concubine Shi Zi, now Madam Xi has entered the second gate and came to Yi Nian Yuan."

Lu Yufei cursed secretly, and the letter in his hand was like a hot potato. She shuffled the letter under the clutter, and hurried out to greet her: "Where is Madam Xi? Take me quickly."

Lu Yufei didn't go long before he met the Xi family's mother and daughter outside the Yinian hospital. Mrs. Xi looked refreshed. When she saw Lu Yufei, she greeted her for an unprecedented time: "Early concubine! I am anxious today, and came here early in the morning. Didn't disturb the concubine and concubine?"

Lu Yufei refused to tell others that Zhao Zixun would share a room with her, so he smiled hard and said, "No. The prince wants to study and martial arts. He always gets up early and won't disturb him."

"That's good." Madam Xi said with a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm afraid to disturb your young couple. That's good, the son is busy, we can let go of things in the backyard, and wait for the son to come back. , Everything is cleaned up, and I will never disturb the eldest son. Elderly concubine, where is she?"

Lu Yufei can't say anything. She only promised Zhao Zixun yesterday that she would mess things up today. Lu Yufei tried to persuade Madam Xi: "In fact, it’s not a big deal. It’s the first time I experienced this. I panicked in anxious situation before writing to Madam. Actually, I thought about it later and there was nothing to be embarrassed. I was alone. That's it."

"What the **** are you talking about?" Madam Xi interrupted Lu Yufei, raising her eyebrows and said, "You are a new daughter-in-law with a tender face. How can we manage those old fried dough sticks in the backyard well. Moreover, she is after all. The maid next to King Jing is one level higher than you in terms of emotion and reason. If you intervene in control, it will be reasonable and unreasonable. Don’t worry, the concubine will not dare to talk about other abilities of the concubine, and deal with those Yingyingyanyan in the back house. But I can't do it any better. King Jing called me an elder somehow, his private affairs, I will not come forward, who else can come forward?"

Xi Yunchu held Madam Xi's arm, and when he saw this, he also said, "My concubine, after receiving your letter yesterday, my mother has been thinking about it all day, and temporarily entrusted the internal affairs of the Fuzhong to the second aunt. I’ve taken a leave. Isn’t my mother tossing so much just to help you? My mother is kind, so you just accept it, don’t refuse."

Lu Yufei can't tell the pain now, Xi Yunchu and Madam Xi have both said so, she really can't say such things as "I'm fine here, you can go back." In the end, Lu Yufei could only sigh as he admitted his fate, and said dejectedly: "Mrs. Xie, Sister Xie Chu. You go to sit in the house, I'll pass a message to the son, and come right away."

Lu Yufei truthfully relayed the situation here to Zhao Zixun, especially emphasizing that the Xi family’s mother and daughter came too early, not Lu Yufei's inaction. After passing the letter, Lu Yufei entered the house without fear, and accompany the Xi family's mother and daughter.

Madam Xi was impatiently sitting in Yi Nian Yuan, she was wholeheartedly thinking of solving the obstacles of Tang Shishi and rectifying her daughter's marriage. Madam Xi repeatedly mentioned going to see Master Tang, Lu Yufei talked several times, and finally waited for Zhao Zi inquiring to come.

The little maid opened the curtain for Zhao Zixun. Zhao Zixun nodded slightly when seeing the people inside: "Mrs Xi."

Lu Yufei and Xi Yunchu both stood up and said good luck to Zhao Zixun. Mrs. Xi saw Zhao Zixun's enthusiasm and said, "My son, why are you here? Your husband and wife have a very good relationship. I've only been here for a while. The eldest son is back. Why, are you afraid that I will eat the eldest son?"

After Mrs. Xi finished speaking, she laughed, but neither Zhao Zixun nor Lu Yufei could laugh. Zhao Zixun glanced at Lu Yufei indifferently. Lu Yufei lowered his head in a hurry. Zhao Zixun held back his anger and said to Madam Xi: "The concubine, the concubine, has disturbed Madam Xi. I am here to make amends for her. Today’s business is the internal affairs of our palace, I really don’t dare to bother Madam."

"What's wrong with this." Madam Xi didn't know if she didn't understand Zhao Zixun's illocutionary meaning or what, she waved her hand and said in a big way, "You and Shi Zifei are like my own juniors. I love you. If it’s too late, why would it be too troublesome? If it wasn’t for Sister Wan’s early departure, I should be your grandmother now. The family doesn’t talk about two things, and I’m a little decent in front of King Jing. I will deal with one or two maids for him. I think I still have this ability."

Madam Xi insisted on pretending that she didn't understand, and Zhao Zixun couldn't help spreading it out. Although Xi Yunchu's affair was pure nonsense, Zhao Chengjun and Xi Yun were married late after all, and Mrs. Xi was indeed from their grandmother in terms of qualifications. Zhao Zixun sighed slightly, and compromised: "If this is the case, thank you Madam Xi."

Madam Xi smiled and stood up and said, "My family, it's not a problem. My dear son, hurry up early or late, let's go now."

Master Tang was sitting in a daze in the Jiajia Courtyard. She slept late and woke up early these days, and even opened her eyes before dawn. Master Tang basically didn't sleep that night, and she couldn't sleep anymore after she woke up. She simply changed her clothes and got up, sitting in front of the window in a daze.

Today is the tenth day. Master Tang closed his eyes dejectedly, feeling a deep irony. She made so many preparations on her own, and made up her mind several times, but she was not willing to do it. Unexpectedly, she ended up in the hands of others.

Knowing this, she might as well drink the fetal medicine by herself.

Master Tang was in a daze, and the others in Jianjia Academy were also fidgeting. Dujuan does not live in her heart to recite the Buddha. She wants to tell the truth several times, but she is afraid of doing something wrong with her kind intentions. In the end, she can only pin her hopes on Liu Ji. The prince has a lot of magical powers, so he must have left for Liu Gonggong.

Du Juan was in panic when the lock outside the courtyard was suddenly touched. The chain made a clattering sound, and Du Juan, Master Tang, including the little fox who was recovering, all awakened all at once.

The courtyard door slowly opened, this time there were not as many people as last time, but the battle was not inferior. Zhao Zixun stood in the middle, followed by Lu Yufei, and even Madam Xi and Yunchu Xi.

Master Tang looked at this scene stupidly, she felt that this was probably retribution, she didn't do good deeds and greedy vanity retribution. She was proud of her for half a lifetime, but in the end, she was thrown off the fetus in front of Zhao Chengjun's wife.

How ironic.

There was a fluttering smile on Master Tang's mouth, her face was almost transparent, so her smile became more and more like a porcelain, as if she would shatter with a touch. When Zhao Zixun walked into the courtyard, he saw Master Tang's performance and couldn't help thinking about her appearance when she first came to the fief. At that time, she was so bright and ostentatious, how could she be as pale as she is now?

Zhao Zixun felt unclear pity in his heart, and he let people close the door, blocking all the gazes of exploring, curiosity, and watching the excitement outside the door, anyway, to preserve the last dignity for Master Tang. After finishing all this, Zhao Zi asked, "Master Tang, ten days are here, have you thought about it?"

Master Tang lowered his eyes and smiled, and said in a low voice, "The elder son has brought people. I don’t think about it. Is it important? The elder son doesn’t have to ask. I still have some backbone. I don’t want to say this person, how about you? Asked no results."

"Shizi, what are you talking nonsense with her?" Madam Xi had long seen Master Tang not pleasing to her eyes. Now she sees Master Tang fragile and pale, but the more I see the pitiful appearance, the inner jealousy grows like thorns. This woman can't stay, this child is not King Jing's best, take advantage of this to stop King Jing's thoughts; if it is King Jing... then even more can't stay.

Not only can't stay, but also must never be troublesome. It's best to take advantage of this time, completely ruining Master Tang's fertility in the second half of his life.

Xi Yunchu hid behind Madam Xi, avoiding his eyes towards the ground. On this occasion, Xi Yunchu shouldn't look at a lady who has not been out of the pavilion, but Xi Yunchu is really annoyed by Master Tang. She has to see Master Tang drink the abortion pill in order to be reconciled.

Madam Xi knew her daughter's heart knot, but she couldn't persuade her, so she let her little daughter go. Madam Xi put her hands in her sleeves, looked at Master Tang condescendingly, and asked: "As a woman, you should be chaste and keep the festival. I once heard the concubine Shizi say that on the Dragon Boat Festival, your whereabouts in Wangjiang Tower were unknown, and you returned to the city inexplicably Did you hook up with a man in that place, take advantage of King Jing's departure from the residence during this time, and let his work slack off, and secretly interact with his lover again?"

Master Tang didn't want to pay attention to Madam Xi, even if she did something wrong, she was ruined and scolded by thousands of people, she would never admit her mistake in front of Xi's family. Master Tang turned his face and looked forward quietly, his face as cold and white as jade.

"Looking at you, it should be like this." Madam Xi pretended to sigh, and said, "Unmarried women should be pregnant because they deserve to be pregnant, but since you are a court-given person, we will leave you a bit of affection. Just get rid of the fetus. He Ping’s family, you go get her a fetus."

A black woman behind Madam Xi answered and stood up and said, "Yes, madam."

Master Tang watched the dark and strong, small pagoda-like lady approaching her, and his eyes fell on her lower abdomen without evasiveness. Master Tang was so frightened by this look, she couldn't help standing up and stepping back step by step: "What are you doing?"

"Girl, the old slave is the most experienced. The girl is a neat person. The old body must let the dirty stuff flow clean and will not affect the girl's body. Don't worry, your month is not too big and you will not suffer too much. of."

Teacher Tang understood that this woman was going to abort her child alive. Zhao Zixun frowned and asked, "Isn't it a good way to find a neat way? Why don't you use drugs?"

"My son, you are a man, and you don’t understand the secretive things like the back house." Madam Xi said, "Not all abortion medicines are effective. Some of them are life-saving. If you take three bowls of medicine, you won’t be able to shed the baby, but will give birth. Here comes a demented child. What kind of person is the prince, how could there be such a stain that tarnishes the royal blood? Let her be drained by the mother-in-law. Her fetus has not yet formed, and both adults and children can suffer less."

Zhao Zixun didn't understand these things, he frowned tightly, not knowing the truth or not. Zhao Zixun didn't understand, but Tang Master did understand that being overwhelmed by the child alive, is this a matter of suffering? Madam Xi wanted to hurt Master Tang's body so that she would never be able to get pregnant again.

Master Tang tightly guarded her lower abdomen, screaming not to let her mother-in-law approach. She herself had thought about abortion, and even the medicine was cured, but when she really got to this point, Master Tang knew that she didn't want to have a miscarriage, and she didn't want to lose her baby at all.

She didn't name him, didn't make clothes for him, and didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman. It was an accident that he came into this world, but since being reborn in Master Tang's belly, it was the predestined method for her hit. How could she watch him be hurt to death?

Master Tang guarded her lower abdomen and kept throwing things on her body without seeing what it was. The mother-in-law was smashed several times by Master Tang, and she couldn't bear it, and cursed: "Girl, you can cooperate now, and the old slave can make it easier for you. If you don't know what is good or bad, it will not be so easy when you lose your baby after a while."

Teacher Tang had already burst into tears without knowing it, and the maids in Jianjiayuan were all controlled outside. There was a room of monsters and ghosts, and only Master Tang faced them. She fell like tears, and kept throwing things to the ground: "Get away, don't touch me!"

Zhao Zixun really couldn't bear it, and once again said to Madam Xi: "Madam, do you have to use this method? Let's change it."

"No." Madam Xi said, "She is a vixen who pretends to be pitiful, and Bo men pity. The son of the world can't bear it now. After a while, she still refuses to drink the medicine. What should I do?"

"But..." Zhao Zi inquired before he finished speaking, and the door outside was knocked open with a slam. Everyone in the room was taken aback, Zhao Zixun frowned and turned back, his face very gloomy.

The people guarding the outside are his confidants. Who is so courageous that even his people dare not look at him?

Dujuan and other maids were controlled outside by someone covering their mouths. Seeing the people, Dujuan suddenly became excited. I don't know where there was a burst of brute force to break free, and rushed to the front: "Master, you are finally back!"
