It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 21



Chapter 20 Paddock

“I heard that the hunting ground is a thousand miles away, with mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, and not far from the Tianshan Mountains. There are even wolves at night!”

The beauties covered their mouths, and several of them were scared and screamed. A timid beauty panicked: “There are wolves. It’s too scary. I’m not going.”

“Look at you.” Ji Xinxian sneered and made no secret of his contempt. “The prince and King Zhongshun went hunting, do you think this is still the capital city, do you think that you are out of the city during the Shangsi Festival? Riding horses, dancing knives and guns, This is the real man.”

The ridiculed woman lowered her head and said: “It’s a wolf and a bear again. It’s too dangerous.”

This woman is full of literati in her family. Her father and brother chanted poems and wrote opposites, and boating is common in Qinhuai. She has never seen dancing knives and guns. No wonder she was scared. Other beauties are not as timid as her, but they are also curious and afraid of the paddock.

Jinling was close to the Qinhuai River, and the emperor was young. The people in the capital had long been used to the softness of the waters. There were very few people on horseback in the capital, let alone hunting. However, Xiping Mansion is very different from Jinling. It is located in the frontier area and has been fighting all the year round. The folk customs are extremely aggressive. Even a seven or eight-year-old child can use one or two swordsmanship.

This is when Master Tang heard about hunting. She was curious and asked, “Are all the prey alive?”

“Of course.” Ji Xinxian heard the most news, and tried to show off at the moment, “Of course, hunting requires the hunting of living animals. What is the meaning of dead targets. I heard that there are not only deer in the paddock, but also roe deer, lynx, wild boar, and even leopard. Men hunt on horseback, and whoever shoots the most prey is the first.”

Teacher Tang was fascinated when she was born. She lived in the Tang family compound when she was born, and she usually did not go out of the gate. Going to other people’s houses for a banquet was her all chance to go out. Where did she have seen snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and never knew what it was like to gallop on the grasslands.

The other women belonged to official households, and their tutoring would only be stricter than that of Tang Shishi. The women didn’t say anything, but in fact they were extremely yearning. This hunting will last for a month, that is to say, this month everyone will live on the grassland, without three obediences and four virtues, without rules, freedom of movement, wear whatever they want, and go where they want.

It’s no wonder that the relationship between the heroine and the heroine in the autumn hunter is growing by leaps and bounds. After thinking about it, Master Tang feels that this kind of place is full of infinite possibilities. If you want to have contact with the prince in the palace, you will either fall into the water or climb the bed. Anyway, you will become benevolent if you fail to succeed. But if it is on the grassland, there are many tricks.

Wei feet, horseback riding, hunting, food delivery… Master Tang is totally different.

Master Tang had already sketched out several chance encounters in her mind. She even thought about what to wear and what to say at the time. Master Tang’s plan quickly enriched, and the other women were chattering with excitement. When they were talking, Tongxiu came over, stopped not far away, and coughed softly.

The beauties heard the voice, and saw Tongxiu later, standing still one after another: “Aunt Tongxiu.”

“My lord, the clothes for this season have already been delivered. Each has two clothes. If you don’t want clothes, you can just take the fabric. Here is the fabric booklet. I can choose the one you like.”

“The new clothes are coming?” All the women were happy when they heard that they could make new clothes. They rushed to the front and grabbed the cloth book to look at them, for fear that they would lag behind others. Master Tang didn’t want to look at the clothes in a hurry. She was at the end and walked slowly to Tongxiu’s side, Fushen said, “Thank you, Aunt Tongxiu.”

Seeing that it was Master Tang, Tong Xiu avoided the wealth of Master Tang, and replied half-little: “This is part of the slave and maidservant, so I dare not take credit for it.”

“Aunt Tongxiu is in charge of such a big palace. She has to prepare for the autumn hunting and worry about the changing clothes of our little girls. It is really hard. I wonder if my aunt has enough staff? If the autumn hunting can’t be arranged, girl Willing to share the worries for my aunt.”

Tongxiu smiled clearly, and lowered her eyes and said, “Thank you, Miss Tang, for your kindness, but you don’t have to. It is a blessing for the servants to serve the prince. Besides, this autumn hunting, the servants are not accompanied by the servants, and there is nothing to be exhausted. ”

Master Tang was surprised and lost his voice: “Are you not going?”

“Naturally.” Tong Xiu lowered her head half and said with a stern look, “The prince and the king of Zhongshun, Qiu Shou, are a major event. This is not only an ordinary hunting, but also represents the face of the court. Women can neither ride nor hunt, and they are still on the road. Being sick, the prince always hates trouble, so she seldom takes women to go hunting.”

Master Tang was stunned. She had arranged so many plans, except for the question of whether she could attend. Master Tang hurriedly asked: “Don’t the prince bring a woman? In addition to hunting, he also has food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. There should always be people around him?”

“Slaves don’t know.” Tong Xiu narrowed her eyes and said dullly, “The prince’s close servants have always been in charge of Liu Gonggong, and the slaves dare not go beyond.”

Tong Xiuming refused to say, Master Tang could only stop. Her mood was ups and downs, and she was incomprehensible for a while.

It was the first time that Master Tang saw such a strange person. Others could not wait to take a seat in the brothel when they went out to play. King Jing would be better, so he didn’t bring any of them. He hasn’t married a wife now, and he has contributed a lot to him.

Then why can Zhou Shunhua go? Teacher Tang had just finished thinking about it, and then he gave the answer. Because Zhou Shunhua is the heroine, she is the maidservant of the elder son, and she was naturally taken by the elder son.

Ji Xinxian and others are also happily picking fabrics and preparing clothes for their autumn hunting trip. They don’t know they can’t go. Master Tang glanced at the other people, and silently walked away.

Teacher Tang has always firmly believed that things are man-made. She can’t do things that others can do without reason.

Master Tang walked to the study. The study was quiet at the moment. Anji Timur sent someone to Xiping Mansion. Anji Timur was the leader of Hamiwei, and he was also the king of Zhongshun who was entrusted by the imperial court. The people from Anji Timur came, and King Jing had to arrange the itinerary. In the past few days, King Jing went out early and returned late, most of the time he was not in the palace, and Tang Shishi did not have to stay in the study all the time.

Teacher Tang returned to the study, asked the maid, and walked to Liu Ji’s place. When Master Tang approached, Liu Ji was teaching the people below. Master Tang was not able to enter, so he waited at the door.

Liu Ji was respectful in front of King Jing, but in the eyes of the rest of the palace, that was the out-and-out Director Liu. Liu Ji hung his voice to teach his subordinates, and the people underneath were silent and conscientious.

“Keep your eyes open all of you. I’m talking ugly. If anyone dares to make mistakes at this juncture, hey, come and see you yourself.”

“Yes.”

Liu Ji took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and said, “Hurry up and go to work as a errand?”

The servants broke up in a rush. When everyone was gone, Master Tang knocked on the door and smiled at Liu Ji: “Duke Liu.”

“Yeah, Miss Tang.” Liu Ji smiled and put down his tea, bowed his waist and gave Master Tang a thousand shots. Liu Ji squinted at all times. The curvature of the corners of his eyes and mouth was not more than a point, and he was frightened when he looked at it: “The old slave is rude, I don’t know that Miss Tang is here. Miss Tang is a rare visitor, I don’t know. What happened to the girl when she came to the old slave?”

Master Tang smiled and said: “You are polite, Grandpa Liu, how dare I come here casually to delay your time. When I just came, I saw that there was no one in the study, and the prince seemed not in the mansion. The prince has not been in the mansion for several days. , I heard, are you preparing for autumn hunting?”

Liu Ji smiled, and said slowly: “I am a eunuch, how can I understand the outside world. Qiu Shou has to prepare a lot, and he has to contact King Zhongshun. Apart from the prince, no one else can do these things. ”

“Oh.” Master Tang replied and said, “The prince has both civil and military skills, and the little girl really admires it. The prince is so busy, you must pick a few people to serve, and take care of the prince’s food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Especially recently the weather has turned cold, and the grassland is windy. Great, but you must not let the prince catch the cold.”

Liu Jishen nodded: “Yes, that’s the reason. It’s a pity that the old slave is too old and can’t catch his heels, so he can’t accompany the prince to the paddock. The people below are too slippery, and you don’t worry about whoever chooses to go. Hey, I blame the old slave for his failure to live up to his legs. He is really sad.”

Those who serve in the court have had problems with their legs and feet after a long time. This is the case with Grandma Feng, Liu Ji is an eunuch, and his illness will only get worse. Master Tang changed his mind and asked, “Then, now, whoever serves the prince’s side, can you choose?”

“The election is good, it’s just that they are all professionals. How do you say these people, martial arts and alertness are all good, but it would be too careless to serve people.”

Teacher Tang suddenly stood up and saluted Liu Ji: “The little girl is not talented, and I am willing to worry about Liu Gongcm.”

Liu Ji sat on the chair without any movement, but said eagerly: “Miss Tang, please get up quickly, the old slave can’t be your gift.”

“What are you saying, Grandpa Liu, you are a senior, you have given me a lot of support, and the little girl should repay you.” Master Tang maintained a blessed gesture, turned his face slightly, and said, “The prince is busy with official duties, and I can’t wait for the prince. To share worries, you can only serve food, clothing, housing, and transportation. At least don’t let the prince get distracted from the trivial matters of life after he has dealt with the country’s major affairs. It stands to reason that Grandpa Liu is the most appropriate candidate, but it is a pity that your legs and feet are inconvenient. People, not only know the prince’s taboo, but also can get started as soon as possible. Liu Gonggong, what do you think?”

“What Miss Tang said is.” Liu Ji fiddled with the tea cup, pushed the things aside, and said, “There is no meticulous person around the prince. My apprentices are not good, no one can compare with the cleverness and the mind. Girl Tang. It’s just fighting in the paddock. The conditions are not as good as those in the palace. I’m afraid Girl Tang is not used to it…”

“My habit of living!” Master Tang immediately stopped Liu Ji. She cleared her throat and saluted deeply. “The little girl is willing to do the best for the prince. Please give me a good word from Grandpa Liu.”

Liu Ji smiled lightly, he stood up, and Xu Xu helped Master Tang to stand up: “Miss Tang, what are you doing? You are the master. There is no reason to salute an old slave. Since Miss Tang is not too bitter. , Then let the old slave try. The specific decision depends on the prince’s idea.”

“Yes.” Tang Shishi smiled, and gave Liu Ji a gratitude neatly, “Thank you, Duke Liu. The kindness of dripping water, the spring is reported, the grace of Duke Liu, the girl is not unforgettable.”

Liu Ji heard a smile and copied his hands and said, “Miss Tang has a heart. If you have this heart, the old slave will be content.”

Master Tang looked grateful, she lowered her eyes, but there was no wave in her eyes. Anyway, I don’t need money to talk, just talk casually. There are more people she wants to repay, and she doesn’t care about one more.

Although Shishi Tang didn’t know why Liu Ji wanted to help her, it was obvious that no one would make a loss-making business, especially the eunuch. Liu Ji obviously had another picture, but it didn’t matter, because Tang Shishi was also using him.

Everyone gets what they need, and as for what happens in the future, it’s up to their own means.

Master Tang returned to the Jianjiayuan, and Du Juan poured hot tea for Master Tang, while muttering: “I heard that the prince and the son are going to the paddock for autumn hunting, girl, do you know this?”

Master Tang hummed casually. She picked up the teacup and did not rush to drink water. Instead, she asked, “The elder son will go too? The elder son was punished a few days ago. Didn’t it mean that the injury was serious?”

“Yes.” Du Juan sighed and said, “But this time the hunting, King Zhongshun will take his son, the princess, and the son, as the facade of the palace, can’t help but attend. So the son forcibly endured the injury and accompanied the prince. go with.”

“Take the injury?” Master Tang frowned, “It’s absurd, he is injured, how can he go hunting?”

“It should be okay.” Du Juan said, “Since the prince agrees to the son to go, it means that the injury is not that serious, otherwise the prince will not agree. Besides, the son will take the emperor and the maid, and the emperor will take care of it, and nothing will happen. of.”

“The paddock is not the same as the palace. Everything in the palace is ready-made. The elder son walks on the flat ground. Of course, it’s okay. But the paddock must be real.” Master Tang sighed deeply, feeling extremely tired for the father and son, “The son has a wound on his back. , How can I ride a horse and shoot arrows? In case of an accident, the world will not be able to hide.”

Dujuan pulled his hair and hesitated: “It shouldn’t be that serious, right? It won’t happen if the prince is there.”

Du Juan had an unfounded trust in King Jing, not only Du Juan, but everyone in the palace. Both fearful and convinced.

Master Tang didn’t know where their confidence came from, but King Jing’s warning was vivid that day, and Master Tang didn’t dare to speak ill of King Jing and could only endure it. Seeing this, Du Juan asked cautiously: “Girl, why do you care so much about the son?”

“Of course it is for the good of the palace.” Tang Shishi said awe-inspiringly, “the palace has only the elder son, the only seedling, if the elder son has three strengths and two shortcomings, what will the Jing Palace do? What about the people in the fief?”

The most important thing is, if Zhao Zixun is dead, what can you do with Master Tang’s dream of the queen mother?

No matter who dies, Zhao Zixun can’t die. No, King Jing can’t die either. If King Jing dies early, where will Zhao Zixun become the prince?

Dujuan was not clear, so he nodded blankly: “The girl is right. But there will be a maid to serve the son, it should be fine.”

When Master Tang heard this, he felt an intuition inexplicably. Master Tang asked: “Who will the elder son take to serve?”

Du Juan looked around, got closer, and quietly said to Master Tang, “It’s Miss Zhou in Liuyun Courtyard.”

Master Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, “Didn’t Ren Yujun go?”

“No. Qiu Shou can’t take too many people, the son only took a maid.”

Master Tang smiled without saying a word. She had a hunch that when they returned from the paddock, the plastic sisterhood between Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun would break. It’s really exciting.

Dujuan sighed and said with envy: “The paddock is at the foot of Qilian Mountains. It is said that it is a thousand miles away! I have not been to a place that far, but unfortunately there is no princess in the house, and the princess can’t travel, so we maids can’t touch it. Alas, I don’t know who is so lucky to be chosen by the prince to accompany him.”

Master Tang didn’t speak, and after a while, he lowered his head and smiled: “Who is it? I’ll find out later.”

In September, the sky was high and the air was refreshing, and the team prepared early and was ready to go.

Zhao Chengjun hates cumbersomeness. He usually hunts around, and there are no people in the team who can’t ride horses. But this time Zhao Zixun had an injury on his back, Zhao Chengjun rarely regressed and allowed Zhao Zixun to take someone with him. Sure enough, Zhao Zixun took a woman.

Zhao Chengjun thought this was the limit of his endurance. He didn’t expect that, in a blink of an eye, he saw Master Tang in front of the door.

Master Tang stood in front of the second door holding the baggage, waiting for the carriage to pull over. Zhao Chengjun changed his attire and strode from the mansion. When he passed the door, he stopped and looked at Master Tang coldly: “Why are you here?”

Master Tang saluted and said docilely: “The little girl is ordered to come and serve the prince.”

Zhao Chengjun turned his head and glanced at Liu Ji quietly with his black and white eyes. Liu Ji quickly said with a flattering smile: “Master, the old slave can’t ride a horse, and can’t go with him. But you can’t do it with no one to serve you. She’s still obedient, and her actions are neat. Lord, you see…”

Teacher Tang felt that something was wrong. Didn’t Liu Ji say that he convinced King Jing? Depending on the situation, Liu Ji didn’t say anything?

Master Tang also panicked, and hurriedly said, “Master, the news that I was going to accompany me three days ago has spread, and everyone in the mansion now knows it. If you drive me back now, what face will I use to meet people in the future? At any rate, it was the first beauty appointed by the Queen Mother. She came to the palace with a smooth journey. You don’t care about face, but I can’t. If you put me down before you set off and I have no face to walk back, then you will have to die.”

Zhao Chengjun laughed extremely lightly, and didn’t seem to believe it: “Once you die? Would you care about other things that exceed your life?”

“Nothing else.” Master Tang said truthfully, “but face is not good.”

Zhao Chengjun just glanced at her faintly, unmoved, strode out of the door. Master Tang’s eyes widened, and he chased down the steps with his skirt: “Master, I’ve looked good since I was a child. I’ve always been a great beauty. You can’t make my face in such a place…”

“Enough.” Zhao Chengjun couldn’t bear it and said coldly, “Get in the car.”

Master Tang was stunned. She thought she had misheard: “…Huh?”

Liu Ji slowly walked behind Master Tang, and he copied his hands and beat him a thousand times, saying: “Miss Tang, the prince doesn’t like others to spend time. Get in the car.”

Teacher Tang finally reacted: “Okay. Thank you, father-in-law for reminding me.”

“Old slave’s own business.” Liu Ji looked at Master Tang with thoughtful eyes, “There is no eye in the paddock. Miss Tang reminds the prince not to get hurt.”

“This is my business. Father-in-law, please come back.” Teacher Tang motioned to Liu Ji, and then stepped on a bench to get into the car. She opened the curtain and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.

Zhou Shunhua saw that it was her, her face seemed to be displeased, but in the end she continued to bear it, and nodded to Master Tang lukewarmly: “Miss Tang.”

After Master Tang was surprised, he immediately smiled. She carried her skirt and got into the car. Shi Shiran sat opposite Zhou Shunhua and sorted out the wrinkles on her skirt: “It turned out to be Sister Zhou, but it’s a coincidence. It seems that Sister Zhou will face me face to face all the way.”

Zhou Shunhua pressed her lips tightly, and pulled the corners of her mouth perfunctorily: “Yes. There is Lao Tang taking care of her on the way.”

Master Tang slowly raised the corners of his mouth: “Of course.”

Neither Tang Shishi nor Zhou Shunhua had any interest in talking. Then the two of them either closed their eyes to rest their minds or endorsed silently, and they were speechless all the way.

Because of the female dependents, the traveling speed was greatly slowed down, and the original three-day journey was dragged into seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, the sunset was overwhelming, and they finally arrived at the paddock.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Master Tang hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. She was really suffocated in the past seven days. As soon as she found an opportunity, Master Tang hurriedly got out of the car to breathe.

Fortunately, the paddock finally arrived. Tang Shishi stood on the ground and looked up. The grassland was endless, the red clouds were piled up on the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun was spreading down. Several colors come and go together, magnificent and charming.

The scenery is far-reaching, the depression on the way is swept away, and even the mood opens up. The guards were busy moving things from the car and camping. Zhao Zixun patrolled all the way and walked slowly to this area. He rode on a horse and saw a woman standing in the grass, covering her eyes with her hands, looking into the distance.

In the evening, when the wind was strong, her dress was blown by the hunting noise, and the vast grassland seemed to suddenly become her background.

She is looking at the scenery, but she does not know that she is also the scenery in the eyes of others. Many people come and go, can’t help but look at her quietly.

The soldiers moving on both sides saw Zhao Zixun and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: “See Shizi.”

Zhao Zixun was awakened by the sudden voice, his eyes returned to focus, and he nodded lightly to the people on both sides, then turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly.

Zhou Shunhua was standing by the carriage, suddenly her eyes condensed and she saw Zhao Zixun’s figure. Zhou Shunhua was overjoyed, and ran to Zhao Zixun with his skirt: “Second son.”

Zhao Zixun was walking in the direction of Master Tang, when he heard Zhou Shunhua’s voice suddenly, he stopped abruptly. He turned his head and saw Zhou Shunhua rushing to him and said happily: “My son, are you here to pick me up?”

Actually not, even Zhao Zixun just remembered that Zhou Shunhua was here. Zhao Zixun smiled softly and said, “Naturally. There are many people on the road, and it is not convenient for me to talk to you. Now I can finally pick you up. You have worked hard along the way, so take a good rest tonight.”

Zhou Shunhua was moved and sweet, and smiled and nodded. Zhou Shunhua thought she was going to leave, she waited eagerly, but Zhao Zixun didn’t move for a long time. He looked forward, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Shunhua followed Zhao Zixun’s gaze and found that Tang Shishi turned his attention. Zhou Shunhua smiled slightly. She was inexplicably panicked and couldn’t help but increase her voice. She reminded rudely: “My son, we should go.”

Zhao Zixun was slightly startled, retracted his gaze, and glanced at Zhou Shunhua somewhat displeasedly. Zhou Shunhua pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: “My son, it’s getting late, you have to go and please the prince in a while.”

“Father went to Anji Timur’s camp, and he won’t be back so soon.” After Zhao Zixun finished speaking, he finally obeyed his inner thoughts and recruited a soldier. He said with a cold face, “There are many people here, not female relatives. Where to stay. Call her back and let her stay in her camp.”

The little soldier was a little embarrassed and said: “My son, before leaving, Grandpa Liu specially ordered that Miss Tang is here to serve the prince. Now the main account has not been set up…”

Zhao Zixun was slightly lost again, yes, why did he forget that Master Tang came with his father, so naturally he should live in the main tent, how can he have his own tent? Zhao Zixun quickly concealed her stunnedness and said: “Then let her go to the main tent and wait, don’t go around. Since she is the father’s maid, she should put her father first. If her father comes back, she But there is no human figure, what kind of style is it?”

“Yes.” The little soldier clasped his fists and hurried over to remind Master Tang. Soon, Master Tang put down his hands, glanced at Zhao Zixun from a distance, and was taken away helplessly.

Zhou Shunhua has been paying attention to Zhao Zixun’s expression. She glanced at Tang Shishi’s back and whispered to Zhao Zixun, “Second son.”

Zhao Zixun looked back at her, Zhou Shunhua smiled and said, “My son, there are too many people here, and I am not feeling well.”

Zhao Zixun immediately retracted his attention, and slightly scolded, “Why didn’t you tell me if you were unwell? Go back to rest and let’s go.”

Teacher Tang blows the air well, but is forced to leave. The main account where King Jing lived was the largest, and the location was the most important. It took a long time to set up all of them. Since Master Tang has taken the name of the maid, she has to do the maid’s work. She does not have a separate tent, but set up a deputy tent next to the main tent of King Jing as her residence for the past few days.

The guards came in and out, displaying tables and chairs, carpets, incense burners and other furnishings in the main account. The place for Master Tang was much simpler, with a small building and a small table, that’s all.

Simple and simple also have the advantages of being simple, Master Tang can go back to the house and rest early. She closed the door of the tent and listened for a long time. After making sure that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly sat on the roof and took out the book from her bag.

During this period of time on the road, Tang Shishi stayed with Zhou Shunhua all day long, she did not dare to take out the book to read. Now Master Tang finally has the time to check how much the plot has been updated.

The details of the journey are lacking. The real story happened after arriving in the paddock. The plot of the autumn hunter is very important. Zhou Shunhua shined in this hunting and began her legendary journey. In terms of emotion, the autumn hunter also played an important role.

It was here that Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun expressed their intentions to each other, finally pierced the window paper, and entered the period of love from the ambiguous period. For example, on the first day of arrival, Zhou Shunhua was unwell. Zhao Zixun escorted Zhou Shunhua back to the camp. Regardless of dissuasion, she insisted on letting her sleep in her bed. After that, Zhao Zixun called the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse and prescribe the medicine, and then he personally fed Zhou Shunhua to drink the medicine. Zhou Shunhua was flattered, and soon she fell asleep. When Zhou Shunhua woke up again, she found that it was dark. At this moment, she was still lying on Zhao Zixun’s bed, alone and in the same room in the middle of the night.

Master Tang turned a page nervously and found that the back was blank. She cursed secretly, which was really annoying, and she decided to be here.

Suddenly there was a big voice of salute outside, and King Jing was back! Master Tang was taken aback, and hurriedly hid the book back into his bag, and stuffed it to the innermost side of the sleeping collapse. Tang Shishi was worried, and pressed several pieces of clothes on it, for fear that others would find her burden.

The outside voice was getting closer, and Master Tang hurriedly hid it, before taking care of his skirt, he quickly ran outside. Zhao Chengjun was talking to his subordinates, and a person suddenly ran out from behind. His arm was tight for an instant, and the guard immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife. Zhao Chengjun turned his head sternly and found that it was Tang Shishi.

The people in the main account swiftly brushed and pressed the knives, and Tang Shishi was taken aback. She froze for a moment, and bowed her knees to salute Zhao Chengjun: “See the prince. The little girl was asleep just now and failed to meet the prince in time, please forgive the prince.”

Zhao Chengjun swept past Master Tang quietly. She looked like this, but she didn’t seem to have just woke up. Zhao Chengjun said nothing, he waved, and the guards all closed their swords. Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and confessed a few words, and then motioned to his subordinates to retreat: “It is a good patrol tonight, and you must not relax. I will talk about the rest tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

The guards clasped their fists and stepped back neatly, no one looked randomly. After everyone left, Zhao Chengjun sat down behind the table and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“The little girl was waiting for the prince to come back, and she fell asleep as soon as she didn’t pay attention.” Master Tang looked out and muttered, “It’s so dark.”

Zhao Chengjun was very helpless, and everyone squeezed him here. He picked up the teapot to pour water, and Master Tang saw that he hurried forward and took over the things in Zhao Chengjun’s hand: “The little girl is negligent, how can I let the prince pour tea by herself?”

After Master Tang finished speaking, he touched the teacup with his finger and became more embarrassed: “The tea is cold, and the prince will forgive me. I will go to exchange the hot tea.”

“No need.” Zhao Chengjun was too lazy to toss, he took the cold tea, took a sip, and waved to Master Tang, “It’s all about you, let’s go on.”

“How can this work?” Master Tang didn’t even want to veto it, “I’m here to serve you. The prince hasn’t gone to bed yet. I, the maidservant, will step back first. What is it like? The prince, do you want to wash it?”

Zhao Chengjun patiently said, “No need.”

However, Master Tang stood up like a chicken blood, and said with a high spirit: “Master, wait a minute, I’ll get hot water.”

Zhao Chengjun pressed his fingers on the center of his eyebrows, and he rarely felt a headache. His brain is not bright and he can’t understand human words. What is he going to do with this woman?

Fortunately, the hot water for the main account is always available. Master Tang quickly returned with a pot of hot water. Zhao Chengjun watched her put the water on the table with his own eyes, rolled up her sleeves, soaked the veil, and wrung it out.

Zhao Chengjun ran out of patience and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“Serve the prince to wash his face.”

Zhao Chengjun pressed his eyebrows hard again, he sighed lightly, and his tone suddenly increased: “This king has hands and feet, and he never needs to be served close by. If you are really free, go and set up the king’s sword.”

Teacher Tang heard that Zhao Chengjun was serious. Zhao Chengjun never made a joke. Master Tang didn’t dare to challenge what he said, so he had to put down his veil and collect his sword obediently. Zhao Chengjun picked up the veil, wiped his fingers carefully, and suddenly heard a plop.

Master Tang did not expect the sword to be so heavy, and the whole person fell to the ground with the sword. Master Tang struggled to hold the sword, and noticed that Zhao Chengjun turned his head, and squeezed out an embarrassing smile: “The prince, forgive me, it was just an accident. I will put your sword away.”

Zhao Chengjun threw the veil back into the water without saying a word, and walked quickly towards Master Tang. Master Tang was trying to hug the sword, and suddenly a shadow was cast on her head. Before she had time to react, she saw a slender arm over her, holding the sword, and with one hand, she picked up the sword that she couldn’t hold with any effort.

Tang Shishi half-kneeled on the ground, froze for a long time, quickly stood up, followed Zhao Chengjun like a tail, and watched Zhao Chengjun put his sword on the three-legged bracket. Master Tang was embarrassed and bit his scalp flattery and said: “The prince is really powerful, and the little girl admires it.”

Zhao Chengjun has no patience. He pointed a direction and said coldly: “Go back to sleep.”

“……Yes.”

Teacher Tang retreated dingy. After the people left, Zhao Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief as he couldn’t bear the candlelight in the room.

Finally gone.

It’s really useless.
