Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Extra V: Tang Shishi's Previous Life Part 3

She was crying, and so was her mother. Tang Shishi thought about what she was crying for. A woman’s tears were only useful toward a man who loved her. For a man who has changed of heart, crying would only make him more bored. Tang Shishi was thinking that at that time and suddenly there was a huge firecrackers sound coming from the outside. Tang Shishi suddenly woke up, got up in a daze, and looked at the burst of the red and green sky outside the window. She could not recover for a long time.

New Year arrived. It was a pity that she did not wait until the spring of the second year of Tianshou. It was now the thirteenth year of Jiankang.

“You’re awake?”

Tang Shishi was startled. She looked back and saw Zhao Chengjun still sitting in his original position with a book in front of him that has been read. Tang Shishi was surprised and blurted out, “Why are you still here?”

Zhao Chengjun raised his eyebrows, “This is my palace.”

Tang Shishi said, “But… but today is New Year’s Eve. So, are you also not favored?”

Tang Shishi immediately felt sympathy for the person in front of her. She always felt that Jing Wang was untouchable and unattainable. Now, she finally had a sense of reality. It turned out that when he was a young man, the majestic Jing Wang was also not favored. On New Year’s Eve, he stayed alone in the room. As a person who did not belong to any group in the Tang family, Tang Shishi would still show her face at the banquet during the New Year.

Zhao Chengjun’s eyes moved lightly, “Also?”

Tang Shishi thought she had a glimpse of the unknown secret of Jing Wang. She was very considerate and said, “I know Wangye is unwilling to admit it. Don’t worry. It’s not a shame not to be favored. I won’t tell others.”

Zhao Chengjun smiled and did not answer. He thought she grew up spoiled by her parents, but he did not expect that she was not favored. As for Tang Shishi’s worry that Zhao Chengjun was not favored… This was not necessary. On the contrary, Zhao Chengjun’s birth mother was Guifei and with two elder brothers above him. He sailed with the wind since birth, especially favored by Emperor. He was alone on New Year’s Eve, not because he was not favored, but too favored.

To the point that no one dared to say anything of him even if he blatantly refused to attend the palace banquet.

Tang Shishi knew nothing about it. She felt that she had found something in common with Jing Wang and was deeply moved. Tang Shishi leaned closer and said, “Wangye, don’t be sad. Although you have no one to care about you now, you will be very powerful in the future. Many people are afraid of you, just…”

Tang Shishi suddenly fell silent. Zhao Chengjun saw her expression and asked, “What is it?”

Just died too early. Tang Shishi naturally did not dare to say. She changed her way of speaking and said, “It’s just that you’ve been reluctant to get married!”

Zhao Chengjun inadvertently raised his eyebrow and finally look at Tang Shishi seriously. He always felt that Tang Shishi was making things up. Now, he gradually believed it a little.

Zhao Chengjun would not believe it if she said that he was successful and famous, but she said that he did not get married at all later in life.

Normal people would not make up this kind of lie. Zhao Chengjun felt inexplicable that this was what he would do.

Could it be that what she said is true? She died because of him and floated to the Chonghua Palace after her death. She turned around for some reason and met people more than ten years ago.

Tang Shishi did not know the skill of small talk. Zhao Chengjun has already picked up half of her past. She was immersed wholeheartedly in the ache of the “those who have the same misfortune sympathize with each other” and tried to comfort Jing Wang with great effort, “Wangye, in fact, it’s good to be quiet. I spent the New Year in the palace before. I couldn’t eat well, sleep well, and still had to salute all the time. How can I sit comfortably in my room? Besides, even if there’s no one else, there is still me to accompany you.”
