Tang Shishi lowered her head, smiled and said, "Shizi Consort's words are too far-fetched. The things in this world were made by the previous generation to give to the next generation. How can i ask Shizi Consort to repay this? Although the Shizi Consort tried to hurt my little fox before and asked Madame Xi and Second Miss Xi to come to our mansion to decide my fate, but in the end, no life was lost, and I would naturally not care about these incidents. This Princess is not as good as Shizi Consort. Shizi Consort, This Princess doesn't not need much. As long as everyone in the mansion are harmonious, the prince is in good health, I will be content."
Tang Shishi said that she didn't care, but she obviously did. Lu Yufei was sweating coldly, and quickly said: "Wangfei calm down, I dare not neglect the princess, the previous incidents is a misunderstanding. The fox was almost killed because it hurt Second Miss Xi's hand, and I had to give the Xi family an explanation. Inviting them to come over as a guest is just kind of hospitality."
Tang Shishi laughed and said, "If you explain it this way, everything Shizi Consort did was a last resort, and everything was forced by the Xi family?"
Lu Yufei lowered her head. She knew that shirking responsibility was very despicable, but Zhao Chengjun was sitting in front of her. Can Lu Yufei dare to respond? Anyway, Prince Jing hates the Xi family and will not allow the Xi family to enter the gate of the mansion again. It will be difficult for Xi Yunchu to see the Prince. That being the case, it is not too much for Xi Yunchu to bear some crimes appropriately.
Besides, those things were originally provoked by Xi Yunchu, and Xi Yunchu should take it for granted.
Zhao Chengjun sat motionless, but his eyes narrowed slightly. Did Lu Yufei hurt Tang Shishi's fox? When did this happen?
Zhao Zixun was very embarrassed when he heard Lu Yufei's words. He noticed that Zhao Chengjun's face changed slightly. Zhao Zixun knew that this was not good, and immediately said: "It is because of the improper attitude of the Xi family, which caused the Shizi Consort to be embarrassed and make a mistake. I hope the Princess can forgive Shizi Consort."
Zhao Zixun knows how to survive in Jing Mansion. Instead of waiting for Zhao Chengjun to speak out, it is better to confess his guilt, so that he can take the initiative. Sure enough, after Zhao Zixun took charge, Tang Shishi didn't want to offend the male lead on the first day she took office, so she took a step back and said, "Shizi Consort is very kind, and it's not convenient for me to intervene. Let Shizi deal with it. Shizi reads and knows etiquette, distinguishes right from wrong, and will deal with it impartially, and will never wrong the Shizi Consort. Shizi Consort can be rest assured."
Tang Shishi's words completely put Lu Yufei on the fire. After she said this, Zhao Zixun had to take care of it even if he didn't want to. The most embarrassing thing is that Tang Shishi even assures her.
Don't Tang Shishi's words imply that Lu Yufei is dissatisfied with Tang Shishi? Lu Yufei didn't want to put more oil into the fire, and hurriedly said: "Wangfei, this daughter-in-law has never been disrespectful to you. The princess is fair, and this daughter-in-law admires you so much. How can you be worried?"
"Really?" Tang Shishi smiled and slapped a fan, "I thought that compared with me, Shizi Consort prefers to listen to the words of the Shizi."
Tang Shishi is really a master of yin and yang, and one sentence contains both Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei. However, Tang Shishi didn't say it clearly, so people couldn't refute it.
There was a moment of awkwardness in the field, and Tang Shishi was overwhelmed with her new found sense of power. She was about to open her mouth, but didn't expect Zhao Chengjun to take the conversation and said indifferently: "It's a virtue to marry a husband, and you are my Wangfei. You are the princess and the mother of both of them. No matter what they do wrong. It's up to you to discipline, how can Zhao Zixun get ahead of you?"
Tang Shishi's eyes rounded slightly, and she glanced at Zhao Chengjun in surprise. According to tradition, the stepmother always keeps away from the adult stepson to avoid suspicion. Zhao Zixun is still the Shizi of the mansion. As a new princess, Tang Shishi is about the same age as Shizi. How can she be qualified to take care of Shizi's affairs?
Tang Shishi said these things to Zhao Zixun, first to assure Zhao Zixun, and second, to follow unwritten rules. This matter should be discussed between husband and wife. Tang Shishi understands her position in the mansion very well, and she will not overrule her own strength and attack Zhao Zixun.
But Zhao Zixun acquiesced, and Zhao Chengjun retorted. When Zhao Chengjun said this, it was a public statement that Tang Shishi was of higher priority than that of Zhao Zixun. Before Zhao Chengjun said that, there was absolutely no reason for Zhao Zixun to be in front of Tang Shishi.
Everyone was taken aback. When Zhao Zixun heard it, he immediately said: "What father said is correct. This son asks mother to correct him."
Tang Shishi couldn't believe it. Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi who was hesitant and said: "Shishi, you are the Mistress of Jing Mansion, you are more than qualified to discipline your son and daughter-in-law. Shishi, you are a princess, and you should make decisions on all matters regardless of the size. I don't know what Shizi Consort did, but since you are not happy, just deal with it."
Lu Yufei was frightened by Zhao Chengjun's words, she could no longer stand when she heard this, and knelt down while holding her skirt: "This daughter-in-law is young and didn't know. She has no intention of offending the princess. Please forgive me, Wangfei."
Lu Yufei was really frightened, Zhao Chengjun was warning her. She would definitely get punished today.
Prince Jing was going to punish her just because Tang Shishi is upset?
Zhao Chengjun expressionlessly said, "This Prince just said that she will decide what happens to the inner court, and even this prince will not interfere."
Lu Yufei was even more desperate when she heard it, it was over for her. What kind of sorcery did Tang Shishi did to Prince Jing, for Prince Jing to give her authority like this? Lu Yufei knelt down on the ground in despair, feeling that her life was over. If she was dismissed, Lu Yufei would have no face to return to her family's home, so she could only hang herself to death.
Tang Shishi felt very happy when she saw Lu Yufei's pale and decadent face. Zhao Chengjun is Prince Jing, he doesn't need anyone, but Tang Shishi needs someone. What's more, Tang Shishi still had to keep Lu Yufei's card to contain Zhou Shunhua. If Lu Yufei was driven away, wouldn't she be replaced by Zhou Shunhua?
This can't happen.
Although Tang Shishi had already quitted the fight for Zhao Zixun, she still lived with the girls fighting for him. If Zhou Shunhua was allowed to be Shizi Consort, and Zhou Shunhua would join forces to exclude her in the future, would Tang Shishi, the Empress Dowager, still survive?
The eagle training has to hit a stick to give a sweet date, and the same is true for training people. Tang Shishi saw that Lu Yufei was beaten up, she was happy, and said with a smile: "A person is not a god and makes mistakes, as long as she knows her mistakes and can correct it, it is fine with me. I am still pregnant with a child, so the previous things will be forgotten. Shizi Consort should be more careful in the future so that she won't be confused."
(*The Eagle Training has to hit a stick to give a sweet date: Chinese idiom meaning hit two birds with one stone)
Lu Yufei's mood became relaxed, and for a while was dazed. Tang Shishi shook her fan with a smile, raised her eyebrows at the people around Lu Yufei and said, "What are you doing, why don't you help Shizi Consort up?"
The maids woke up like a dream, and quickly helped Lu Yufei to get up. Lu Yufei was dizzy until she stood up straight, what exactly did Tang Shishi want to do?
Tang Shishi held the fan and slowly said, "Families are supposed to live in harmony. It is not a problem that Shizi Consort has not been pregnant for a long time. In my opinion, Shizi Consort should add a few more people to your backyard."
Lu Yufei held her breath and couldn't believe it. Why did Tang Shishi suddenly change, become so virtuous, and take the initiative to give Zhao Zixun a concubine? In the next second, She heard Tang Shishi say: "Zhou Shunhua is still in Zhaungzi? Her mistake has not been too big. Now that she has been reflecting on it for so long, she should be back. Shizi, what do you think?"
Lu Yufei's mood instantly fell to the bottom. It turned out that Tang Shishi did not set an example to give Prince Jing a concubine, but rather acted virtuously for Lu Yufei.
The person to be picked up is still Zhou Shunhua. Lu Yufei was unwilling. It took her so much work to drive Zhou Shunhua away. If Zhou Shunhua returns to the house for the second time, where will Lu Yufei's face be put?
Lu Yufei was anxious, she wanted to object, but Tang Shishi didn't ask her, Lu Yufei couldn't speak for Zhao Zixun. Lu Yufei looked at Zhao Zixun nervously, and Tang Shishi was not rushing him, and instead looked at him calmly.
The wife can't fight with the concubine and a concubine can't fight with another concubine, Tang Shishi is already the mother-in-law, why should she fight with Lu Yufei? As a judge, she thinks why she should end up on her own in a hot field, she might as well bring in a few more players and let them bite.
Zhao Zixun was taken aback and couldn't believe it. He quickly looked at Zhao Chengjun, but Zhao Chengjun's face was faint, not happy, but also not unhappy.
Zhao Zixun was unsure of Zhao Chengjun's attitude, and he dared not make a statement for a while. Tang Shishi saw this. She covered half of her face with a fan, and her eyes fell on Zhao Chengjun with a smile: "Wangye, if i ask you to marry a concubine, will i be virtuous?"
Zhao Chengjun deliberately supported her, but she used it as a favor. Zhao Chengjun's face was calm, and he didn't say anything. As a result, Tang Shishi took the initiative to ask him to take in a concubine. Zhao Chengjun glanced at her, and when he came into contact with her eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.
The corners of Zhao Chengjun's lips moved slightly, not much, but he still laughed. Tang Shishi immediately felt relieved. He smiled, and that means it's okay. Tang Shishi raised her chin and said softly, "Everyone is fine with it. Shizi, Shizi Consort, do you have any objections? "
How could Zhao Zixun object? He immediately bowed his hand deeply and thanked her: "Thank you, Wangfei, for your kindness, this son is indebted."
Tang Shishi looked at Lu Yufei with a smile, her eyes were bright and sparkling: "Shizi Consort?"
Lu Yufei's lips moved, but in the end she could only lower his head and smile stiffly: "Daughter-in-law thanks mother for her generosity."
Although Lu Yufei was smiling, her heart was bitter. Hearing Zhao Zixun's impatient tone, she could tell how long he had been looking forward for this. Tang Shishi, this woman really has a brilliant mind. Lu Yufei felt that this woman was stupid and unworthy of an enemy before. Now that she thinks about it, Lu Yufei is that stupid person.
Tang Shishi looks stupid, but she is clearly very smart. After this incident, Tang Shishi not only showed her kindness and generosity in front of the prince, but also showed kindness to Zhao Zixun, and also severely hit Lu Yufei. In a few words, she hit three birds with one stone.
The most frightening thing is that she has pretended to be stupid for so long that everyone thinks she is stupid. Such a woman is really terrifying!
Lu Yufei was shocked and scared, and for an instant a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. Tang Shishi was extremely refreshed after doing this. She wanted to do this a long time ago, Tang Shishi is careful, who makes her feel unhappy for a while, she can make the other person unhappy for a lifetime!
Zhou Shunhua, Ren Yujun, Ji Xinxian, Lu Yufei, let all of them fight.
Zhao Chengjun tapped the handrail lightly with his fingers. Although he didn't speak, he didn't look happy. Zhao Zixun was afraid that they would be scolded more, and immediately said: "Shizi and Shizi Consort have to leave. We dare not delay the princess's time, we will leave."
Zhao Zixun said that Lu Yufei could only leave with him. After the people dispersed, Zhao Chengjun couldn't bear it anymore, and flicked his fingers on Tang Shishi's forehead.
The strength of this action was not small. Tang Shishi was hurt by this action, and she covered her forehead in a grievance, and asked pitifully: "Why are you hitting me?"
"You are really promising." Zhao Chengjun pinched the tip of Tang Shishi's nose and raised his eyebrows. "I sent Zhou Shunhua to Zhuangzi. You didn't discuss it with me, so you dare to refute my orders in front of everyone?"
Tang Shishi could not vent, and her cheeks slowly bulged. She blinked and looked at him innocently.
Yes, after Zhao Chengjun said this, Tang Shishi remembered.
Zhao Chengjun looked at her like this, and he wanted to give her a good meal, but he didn't squeeze a smile. When Tang Shishi saw him smiling, she was not afraid. She avoided Zhao Chengjun's hand, walked around Zhao Chengjun, and leaned her cheek on Zhao Chengjun's shoulder skillfully: "I've forgotten this. Why did you neglect me before and don't take things with you. I naturally can't remember."
It turned out to be his fault, Zhao Chengjun was about to say it again, and stopped immediately when he heard the voice outside.
Tang Shishi noticed something was wrong and looked out. At this time, Liu Ji reported at the door: "Wangye, Wangfei, Feng Momo is here."
It turned out to be Feng Momo. Tang Shishi also sat up straight, hurriedly flattened her clothes, and sat back to her original position.
When Feng Momo entered the door, she happened to see Tang Shishi's movements. She smiled as soon as she saw it: "It seems the old slave has disturbed the Prince and Princess."
Tang Shishi was embarrassed and stood up and said, "Momo, what are you talking about? I just talked to the prince. Mother, please sit down."
The maid put a cushion on the lower seat, and Feng Momo sat down with her sleeve and smiled: "What are the princes and the princesses talking about to make the hairpins in their hair crooked?"
Tang Shishi was taken aback, and hurriedly touched the hairpin on her hair, it turned out to be crooked. Tang Shishi's face flushed red all of a sudden. At this time, Zhao Chengjun spoke lightly and changed the subject: "I didn't know Feng Momo is here. Is there anything that happened to Feng Momo today?"
Feng Momo didn't beat around the bush. She stopped joking and directly said, saying: "This old slave came today to discuss the wedding with the princess. Although the booklet was delivered, the princess did not hold the wedding."
"This is natural." Zhao Chengjun responded, "The wedding is just a ceremony. She has already been recognized by the Empress Dowager and the court. Now it is inconvenient because of her condition. The wedding should be simple, and the ceremony should be simple unless necessary."
Feng Momo also agreed with this point. She nodded and said: "What the prince said is what the Empress Dowager thinks so. This old slave came to Jing Mansion this time, first to give the princess canonization and writing books, and second, to attend the wedding of the Princess in place of the Empress Dowager. After this old slave sees your wedding ceremony, she can return to Jinling with a peace of mind."
Feng Momo and Zhao Chengjun hit it off quickly, and they talked about etiquette cuts. Tang Shishi is not familiar with royal weddings, and can't talk about these matters. She didn't want to care about the wedding either. What she cared about was something else.
Tang Shishi hesitated for a long time, and wanted to ask the her family to come several times. Empress Dowager Yao controls communication, and she will definitely not let Tang Shishi and the Tang family have contact.
She just didn't know whether her mother's health has improved. With Lin Wanxi's sentimental temperament, Tang Shishi didn't expect her to be able to fight Concubine Su all by herself. As long as she didn't get bullied and stayed idle for a few more years, she could wait until Tang Shishi came to help her.
When Zhao Chengjun and Feng Momo were still discussing the wedding, Tang Shishi lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
