Tang Shishi stared at the palm of her hand. She looked at it for a long time and slowly opened it.

There was only a short sentence written on the note, "Wait for the opportunity, look for a chance to read his correspondences."

It was obvious who the "he" was.

Tang Shishi rolled up the note, brought it over to the candle, and watched the ink-colored words turn into ashes. It was inevitable that Empress Dowager Yao had someone in Prince Jing's residence.

After all, Empress Dowager Yao was a married lady. Even if she was the Empress Dowager, she cannot use the maids or servants to intervene in military affairs. Empress Dowager Yao wanted Prince Jing to guard the northwest, but she did not trust Prince Jing, so she came up with a trick to use women to spy for her.

Maybe it should not be said that this was a stupid idea. What if there really was such a woman in the world, that Prince Jing know that she was a meticulous spy, but at the same time cannot help but indulge in her? Tang Shishi does not know if there was such a person in the world, but obviously, this person will not be her.

Tang Shishi just wants to be an empress dowager and enjoy a peaceful life. What does the grudge between Empress Dowager Yao and Prince Jing have to do with Tang Shishi? They fight against themselves, while Tang Shishi wanted to run her own future prospects.

As for Empress Dowager Yao, she could just handle it casually.

Tang Shishi's days of leaving early and returning late lasted for several days. Gradually, she had accustomed to going to the study room early in the morning and then spent the day muddle-headed in the pavilion. On the day with nothing to do, when it got dark and she could not make waves anymore, she would stop work and go home. Except for the first day, and for a few times, Tang Shishi never saw Prince Jing again.

The days on her side were rather quiet, with a sense of being independent of the world. However, in the plot, the rate of progress of the male lead and the female lead was very fast. When Tang Shishi went home every night, she saw a thick stack of new plots unlocked, and sometimes even several chapters could be updated in a day.

Most of them were about her daily routines, such as who she met today, what she said to Shizi, how was the policy advice that the Teacher arranged, and so on. Sometimes, Shizi would ask Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun what they thought about it. Ren Yujun did not dare to say anything, but Zhou Shunhua could repeatedly put forward new ideas.

Zhao Zixun's attitude towards the two women also changed unconsciously. Although in Tang Shishi's perspective, Zhao Zixun's standpoint was biased right from the beginning. Zhao Zixun originally came for Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun was just a passer-by. However, in Ren Yujun's opinion, things may be different.

Ren Yujun only knew that she and Zhou Shunhua were going to serve Shizi at the same time, whatever Zhou Shunhua could do, Ren Yujun was also not bad at it. Obviously, there were three people at first, but Zhao Zixun gradually fell in love with Zhou Shunhua.

Poor thing! Tang Shishi turned a page and tried to understand the path she could take. It was a pity that the sisters, Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua turned against each other. In this case, let Tang Shishi take care of all the retribution.

As long as Tang Shishi snatches Zhao Zixun's favor and leaves Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun out of favor, would not it be fair?
