Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 25: Drunk

After learning from her painful experience, Tang Shishi decided to sharpen her knife first before cutting the firewood. As the saying goes, to know oneself and the enemy, one could win a hundred battles. She must first understand Zhao Zixun's ideas, and then only she could make a choice that Zhao Zixun likes.

When Tang Shishi heard a sound outside, she hid the book and crept to the outside softly and quietly. A guard was passing by with something in his hand. When Tang Shishi saw him, she immediately stopped him, "Wait, don't leave."

The guard saw that it was Tang Shishi. He stopped and asked respectfully, "What can I do for you, Miss Tang?"

"I'm just a maid. You don't have to be so polite to me. We can just talk like normal." Tang Shishi said and asked, "Has Wangye come back?"

"Yes, the banquet is over. Wangye already sent Prince Zhongshun away and he just got back."

Tang Shishi gave an "Oh" sound. She looked at the things in the guard's hand and asked, "What's this?"

"Sober tea."

Tang Shishi thought that this was a Heaven-given opportunity. Was there anyone in the world who knows Shizi better than Prince Jing? She came forward to take the things, said to the guard, "I'll send it in. You can go and have a rest."

The guards knew that this Miss Tang was unusual, and she was most likely the future mistress of Prince Jing's mansion. The guard did not say much, he handed the sober tea to Tang Shishi, and left wittily, "Thank you, Miss Tang. I'm leaving."

Tang Shishi took the tea and walked cautiously inside. Zhao Chengjun was indeed inside. He took off his sword and was still wearing the big red dragon robe, but it was a little less stern and gentler than before.

Zhao Chengjun was sitting on the couch, pressing his fingers between his eyebrows, closing his eyes, and resting. When he heard footsteps, he said, "Bring it over."

Tang Shishi put tea in front of Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Chengjun took the tea, and he was not surprised at all that it was her, "Just talk, what do you want?"

Tang Shishi smiled awkwardly and said softly, "Thank you Wangye for saving me."

Tang Shishi thought that Zhao Chengjun would exchange pleasantries, but Zhao Chengjun just said "Um" and stopped talking.

Tang Shishi's smile gradually stiffened. When a woman thanked him, Prince Jing directly responded like that? This... how could she proceed with the next topic?

Tang Shishi could only bite the bullet and continue to talk to herself, "Wangye, thank you for just now. If it wasn't for you today, I don't know what to do. By the way, Wangye, Narentuoya is the jewel of Zhongshun Wang. I have defeated her several times, will it affect the overall situation?"

Zhao Chengjun laughed, and finally raised his head and glanced at Tang Shishi with a smile, "Now only you remember the effects of the overall situation? When you were singing and dancing just now, why don't you worry about the overall situation?"

Tang Shishi smiled awkwardly, and said flatly, "Isn't there's Wangye. Only when Wangye is there, this little girl dares to be presumptuous. Wangye, why did you let Shizi save Narentuoya today?"

Tang Shishi did not know what happened when she startled the horse, but without Prince Jing's consent, Zhao Zixun would never have rescue Narentuoya. Anji Timur, Temur, and the rest of the Beiting people were there. If Zhao Zixun did not go, Narentuoya would not have an accident.

Zhao Chengjun said in a light tone, "He was at the intersection at the time. There is nothing wrong with not saving people, but the people of Beiting will be bitterly disappointed. It is better to take advantage of the circumstances and do a good show."
