It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 64 Yulou

This gust of wind came hurriedly and quickly. Tang Shishi carried the skirt and ran out quickly. The corners of the long skirt were blown away by the wind, like a butterfly in a shower, which would be knocked over by the wind at any time.

Teacher Tang didn’t care if Feng Qian would see it or be suspected, she didn’t even care what she would do next. She came in the carriage of the palace, and now Lu Yufei is still upstairs watching the dragon boat. How can she return to the city as a weak woman?

Master Tang stumbled and ran to the parking place, helping on the tree to breathe. The road ahead was the official road. She couldn’t just walk out like this, but she went to find the carriage of the palace. For one thing, it was difficult for Master Tang to explain, and secondly, there was a woman from Granny Wu in the coachman.

In case of a collision, how would Master Tang justify himself? When Master Tang was embarrassed, he saw a carriage on the gravel road. Through the swaying curtain of the car, he could vaguely look at a young woman in a green dress.

Green clothes, returning home midway… Master Tang’s inspiration flashed, and suddenly he remembered who it was. This is what she saw in Wangjiang Tower, the young lady who was splashed with water!

Master Tang ran out immediately and waved to the carriage: “Girl staying, I have something to say.”

A man rushed out on the road, and the coachman hurriedly hurried. The carriage slammed, and the girl in green was in a bad mood. She was hit by a carriage and opened the curtain unhappily: “What’s the matter?”

“Girl, someone is blocking the road ahead.”

The girl in green was taken aback and looked forward. Master Tang took out his waist card and said, “I am from the Jing Palace, and I am very sorry to disturb the girl. But I have something to go back to the city, can I take the girl’s car?”

The girl in green was completely stunned when she heard the three words “Prince Jing’s Mansion”. Her maid didn’t seem to have seen the world. She panicked and cowered and asked, “Girl, what should I do? ”

Master Tang knew that the three masters and servants weren’t the masters with ideas, and she had to be tough enough to get them to agree to help her. Master Tang put up his waist card and continued: “The dragon boat race has not yet started, so the girl will go back to the house. I think she was wronged at the banquet. The little girl is not talented. Fortunately, she can talk in front of the prince. If the girl takes me. It was a great help when I returned to the city. I will thank you very much in the future.”

Seeing Master Tang’s extraordinary manner and beautiful appearance, the green-clothed girl had already believed in her for a long time, and then heard her say that she was a person next to King Jing. Without any hesitation, the green-clothed girl hurriedly let go of the curtain and said, “That’s it, auntie. Please.”

The green-clothed girl mistakenly regarded Master Tang as the aunt in charge, and Master Tang didn’t correct it. She bowed her knees and said a blessing to them, and quickly got into the car with her skirt: “Thank you girl. I don’t know how the girl is called?”

“My surname is Qiao, so I can do it, and my aunt will call me Qiao Siniang.”

Last name Joe? Teacher Tang did not remember the official surnamed Qiao at all. She seemed to have expected it to be true. The girl’s family background is indeed very ordinary, so that she would be humiliated in public by a group of officials. Master Tang just smiled, did not ask much, and said, “It turns out that it is Miss Qiao, I am lucky to meet. My surname is Tang, and the girl will call me as a teacher.”

“Don’t dare.” The fourth girl Qiao waved her hand quickly, and drew aside tentatively, and said, “Aunt Tang, you are in a hurry to return to the city. Is there anything important?”

“I can’t talk about important things, but there are urgent things.” Master Tang glanced at the sky outside the car, his eyebrows were hard to hide anxiously, “Sister Qiao, can the car be faster? I’m in a hurry.”

Looking at it from afar, Miss Qiao felt that Master Tang was amazingly beautiful. Now in the same car, Miss Qiao could clearly see Master Tang’s eyebrows, eyelashes, neck, and wrists, almost dumbfounded. After the urging of Master Tang, the fourth girl Qiao woke up like a dream, and was busy urging the coachman: “Uncle Ma, hurry up, don’t miss the aunt’s matter.”

The carriage of Qiao’s family is completely incomparable to the carriage of the Royal Palace. The space inside the carriage is already small. Now there are three people squeezed into it, and their knees will collide with each other when they are on the road. The Fourth Miss Qiao and her maid huddled on the other side, carefully avoiding Master Tang, as if looking at a manifestation of a god.

Four girls in Qiao were in a trance along the way, my God, is this the palace? Just an aunt in charge, she has such a celestial appearance, then what does Prince Jing look like?

Miss Qiao originally envied those officials, but now she suddenly felt that the girls from the Xu family, the Zhao family, and even the Lu family were nothing but that. Compared with the one in front of me, the self-proclaimed young ladies are just like fireflies.

This is the real beauty who can compete with the sun and the moon. The others are deadwood.

Master Tang noticed that Miss Qiao was watching her secretly, Master Tang was used to being noticed, and there was no malice in those eyes, so Master Tang let her go. The driver got the order and drove the horse fast all the way, Xiping City gradually approached. I don’t know if Master Tang is too anxious, she feels that her body is getting hotter and hotter, and she feels a little fidgeting.

Master Tang probed his cheek, his face was already red. Teacher Tang wondered, could it be that she ran too fast today, sweated and then dried by the wind, so she got the cold?

Seeing Master Tang’s movements, Miss Qiao immediately asked diligently: “Aunt Tang, what’s the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?”

Master Tang shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, I’m too impatient.”

The coachman outside heard them and said, “Auntie, the city gate is in front, but watching the weather, I’m afraid it will rain.”

As the coachman had just finished speaking, there was a rumbling in the sky, and rain was falling. The raindrops are getting bigger and bigger, and it will soon become a pouring rain.

“It’s heavy rain.” The coachman evaded the road ahead and complained, “Looking at the thickness of the clouds, this rain is probably going to be the next. Fortunately, the four sisters came out early, otherwise, they will be trapped in the Wangjiang Tower. ”

Miss Qiao was not happy to be mentioned, but watching the rain outside at the moment, she rarely felt that Uncle Ma was right. Uncle Ma drove his horse to the Jing Palace, jokingly saying: “The old man has been rolling in the market all his life, and he has never touched the door of the official mansion. I didn’t expect that this time he crossed the official mansion and saw the mansion directly. Oh yo, this is amazing. .”

Miss Qiao was embarrassed and scolded Uncle Ma angrily: “Uncle Ma, don’t talk about it anymore! In front of my aunt.”

It can be seen that the master and servant of this family have very strong feelings, but Master Tang’s mind is getting more and more confused, and there is no time to think about things around him. The heavy rain raised a layer of white fog on the street, like a galaxy pouring down. Uncle Ma parked the carriage at the root of the palace wall and asked: “Aunt Tang, I don’t understand the palace’s particulars. I don’t know where you get off. Auntie wants to stop. where is it?”

She didn’t know where she could identify the way, she didn’t know where she was, she jumped out of the car and rushed into the heavy rain without hesitation: “It’s all right here. Thank you, I will send thanks to several people in the future.”

The three masters and servants behind were shocked, and Miss Qiao hurriedly shouted: “Auntie, it’s raining outside, why did you run straight down? Auntie wait a minute, I’ll go to the other side to buy an umbrella.”

“No need.” The time they talked, Master Tang had already ran away, his slender body swayed in the rain, like petals falling into the ocean, instantly invisible. Shishi Tang was pouring on his face by the rain, his impulse faded, reason and thinking returned to his body. Master Tang thought she was crazy, she was doing something she couldn’t understand.

Obviously she is selfish, likes leisure and dislikes work, admires vanity, and does not have all the virtues that are praiseworthy. She despises a woman who loves to die, but is keen to get benefits from men. She has always felt that this is the only way for women to survive in this world where men are inferior to women and patriarchy.

Use him, confuse him, manipulate him, but never love them. Tossing and turning around, being suspicious and jealous, and even sacrificing oneself for a man is really stupid beyond hope.

But now, she was doing what she despised the most. Master Tang knocked on the door room, ignoring everyone’s shocked eyes, rushing to the study room under the downpour all the way. She knew that he must be there if she could catch up.

Master Tang braved the rain to push open the courtyard door of the outer study. She was completely wet, and the rain dripped down her hair. Master Tang looked at the empty courtyard, and his heart sank.

She came late, he had already left.

Shishi Tang stood at the door and didn’t move for a long time. The wind blew through the hall, and Shishi Tang felt cold. She held on to the pillar next to her, her eyes dizzy for a while, Master Tang leaned her forehead on the pillar, in a daze, vaguely heard the door open.

Master Tang turned around and saw that the study door was pushed open. A man was holding an umbrella and standing behind the mighty rain: “Why are you here?”

Teacher Tang stared at him blankly. She felt that she had been poured by the rain too much, and the water seemed to have entered her mind. She actually saw Zhao Chengjun.

What’s more remarkable is that the illusion passed through the rain curtain, stopped in front of Master Tang, and reached for Master Tang’s forehead. There was a burst of warm and dry heat on his forehead, and Master Tang could even feel the cocoon on the palm of his opponent’s hand. Master Tang suddenly stirred his spirit and realized that this was not an illusion.

This is really Zhao Chengjun.

Master Tang was taken aback, instinctively backed away and almost fell down the steps. Zhao Chengjun took her arm, and because of this action, the umbrella tilted and both of them were covered with water. Zhao Chengjun pulled her back, put her away, and sighed helplessly: “It’s all right if you can’t distinguish good from bad, can’t you even take care of yourself?”

Master Tang stared at Zhao Chengjun, blinked gently, and a drop of water fell from his eyelashes overwhelmed. Master Tang finally reacted generally, and said dumbly: “You haven’t left?”

Zhao Chengjun raised his eyebrows in surprise, he looked at the clothes on her, and he understood what was going on. Zhao Chengjun took off his robe, put it on her, and said, “No. For the first time, you can’t stand the rain and you can’t stand outside.”

Zhao Chengjun took the umbrella, he walked two steps, and saw that Master Tang hadn’t moved, he turned back and pulled her back. The two walked through the rain curtain and walked back to the main room. After entering the door, Zhao Chengjun stood the umbrella by the door, ignoring the rain on his body, and said to Master Tang: “First change your clothes. I will send someone **** tea.”

Master Tang held the completely unfit robe with both hands, and water was still dripping on his hair. She didn’t move, but still looked at Zhao Chengjun stubbornly: “Why didn’t you leave? Since you haven’t left, why is there no one in the yard…”

It can be seen that she would never take a break today without asking why. Zhao Chengjun took a piece of dry cloth from the shelf, put it on the head of Master Tang, and said: “It is raining today, it is not suitable for marching. The schedule is naturally postponed. As for the people outside, I told them to retreat.”

Zhao Chengjun wiped off the water from Tang Master’s hair a little bit, his voice was not fast or slow, like a lurking cheetah, approaching his prey gracefully and slowly: “Then you, don’t watch the dragon boat in Wangjiang Tower, what do you do when you come back?”

Master Tang’s haunting mind finally awoke, she lowered her eyelashes, and her eyelashes cast a light gray shadow on her skin. She was silent for a long time, and whispered: “Nothing.”

After speaking, she let go of Zhao Chengjun’s clothes and turned around to go out. Zhao Chengjun lowered his eyes, looked at her solemnly, and let her go. Unexpectedly, Master Tang took two steps, his body suddenly tilted, and then he fell softly to the ground.

She fell off guard, Zhao Chengjun was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch her. Only touching her forehead just now, and now embracing her whole body, Zhao Chengjun discovered that Master Tang was hot and abnormal.

Zhao Chengjun’s face suddenly sank, and he asked sharply, “What’s the matter with you?”

Teacher Tang was also very surprised. She wanted to push Zhao Chengjun’s hand away, but found that she had no energy at all. Her body fell on the fire like a feather, floating and hot, as if about to fall at any time.

This is not right, even if Master Tang has no experience, he knows that his current state is definitely not a reaction to being caught in the rain. She was weak, short of breath, and suddenly thought of something.

“Feng Qian…that cup of tea…” Teacher Tang murmured, her voice was quick and low, “it’s her, she put something in that cup of tea!”

Wangjiang Tower.

Feng Qian tied her hands and stood under the eaves, looking blankly at the vast rain curtain.

“Where is she?”

Behind her, a man with five short stature and wretched demeanor scratched his face and said, “I don’t know. I followed her as you told her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye after she left the Wangjiang Tower. During this time, I’m looking for it. Going all over the corners inside and out, even turning over the bushes, she didn’t see her.”

After the man finished speaking, he couldn’t help muttering: “Miss Feng, I have done everything according to your requirements. Would you not blame me?”

“Trash!” Feng Qian was furious. She has always been weak in writing, and even her expression is slender. She didn’t expect that she would have such a big change in expression. Feng Qian’s chest rose and fell violently, and she cursed: “You are a waste of less than success. You can lose even a woman with Chinese medicine. You dare to blame me on the other hand?”

The man was scolded and scolded. He scratched his face and said, “What should I do? It’s raining now, and I can’t find it anymore.”

Feng Qian took a deep breath, and when her breath calmed down, the weak and intelligent girl Feng returned. Feng Qian thought for a while, and said with confidence: “She has taken medicine and can’t run away. Today, Wangjiang Tower is so crowded and not outside, so it’s in a man’s box. Taking advantage of the rain now, you hurry up and go. , Leave Xiping City immediately with the money, and don’t come back soon. In the future, I will never know you. Of course, you’d better not show up in front of me again.”

The man was reluctant, he had spent a lot of time, just want to kiss the beauty Fangze, and taste what it is like to be a prince’s woman. Now that he hasn’t caught anything, he is told to leave his hometown and hide in Tibet. The man is very unhappy.

He looked at Feng Qian’s slender but slender waist, showing a greedy color. Feng Qian noticed his gaze and avoided it disgustingly: “You are so brave, you are not going to die? I am a nobleman in the palace, a cron of the empress dowager, so don’t look at me with your disgusting eyes. Believe it or not, I just need to. Say something, are you dead today without a place to bury you? Don’t you get out of here!”

Feng Qian violently violent, the man was taken aback, and scrambling back and running: “I know. A short-lived appearance is so fierce, it’s really unlucky…”

Feng Qian was very angry and coughed again and again. She held her veil hard, and managed to stop her coughing. She slowly lowered her hand and saw a few drops of blood on the veil.

Feng Qian’s pupils shrank, and her fingers trembled. She held the veil tightly, and her knuckles showed a sickly blue color because of too much force.

“Master Tang…” Feng Qian paused, and her weak voice contained boundless vigor, “I don’t believe you can survive the Yulouchun, who is crazy when she touches the jade girl. I want to see, this time, Who will save you.”
