Tang Shishi sighed very softly. After she sighed, she noticed something was wrong and quickly looked outside. Fortunately, Zhao Chengjun and Feng Momo were discussing etiquette and did not notice her actions.
Tang Shishi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It is a pity that her parents and relatives cannot come to her wedding, but compared with the future, these regrets are really insignificant. It's rare that the Empress Dowager and Prince Jing both trust her, but this delicate balance is too fragile, and if you are careless, you will lose everything. Tang Shishi can't even take care of Lin Wanxi, so how can one be qualified to care about the face of wedding ceremonies, parents' weddings, and so on?
Tang Shishi is not a hypocritical person, she quickly let go of this problem after she figured it out, and focused on planning for the future.
Zhao Chengjun and Feng Momo quickly discussed the details, and even the date was finalized. Zhao Chengjun asked Tang Shishi: "September 27th is suitable for marriage, what do you think?"
Tang Shishi nodded: "What the Prince said is good, let's arrange it for that day."
Tang Shishi said that she had no objection. After she was finished, she paused, and still couldn't help but say, "It's only a few days before September 27th, isn't it too fast?"
"Wangfei, it's not fast." Feng Momo answered with a smile, " The princess and the princess are far away from the capital, and a lot of etiquette is therefore forgo. The empress dowager said in her own mouth that Wangfei does not need to pay attention to etiquette when getting married, and always puts the her body first. If the ceremony is finished earlier, this old slave can return to the palace earlier."
The royal canonization is a marriage in the patriarchal sense, but the wedding is in the secular sense. Zhao Chengjun is the lord of the northwest. Even if he receives the royal canonization, he will have to hold a wedding to formally announce Tang Shishi as his wife.
Tang Shishi is physically inconvenient, and both Empress Dowager Yao and Zhao Chengjun don't want to be too troublesome. The two most powerful people in the world have reached an agreement, let alone holding a wedding within seven days, even if it is the sky to pick the stars, the people below will have to find a way to do it.
Tang Shishi has no say in this, all she can do is wait. After Zhao Chengjun finished talking about the wedding, he expected that Feng Momo should go, but she didn't expect Feng Momo to be unhurried and smiled: "Weddings are a major event in life. Before a woman gets married, her mother should teach her a little bit of self-satisfaction. It's a pity. The princess's parents are not around. Although this old slave is not the parents of the princess, she taught the princess when she was in the palace. This old slave courageously took care of the princess's mother. Does the princess think that this old slave has overstepped?"
Tang Shishi was surprised. She also knew of what Feng Momo had said. Before a woman gets married, her mother or other female elders had to teach her about the wedding, so as to prevent the woman from being confused and ignorant of the relationship between men and women, causing trouble in the night of the bridal chamber. But... Tang Shishi is pregnant, does she still need to listen to this?
However, even if she knew what Feng Momo said was an excuse, Tang Shishi didn't refute it. Tang Shishi immediately smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Momo is willing to teach me. I am very grateful. Why would i refuse?"
Feng Momo also smiled: "The princess doesn't mind."
Zhao Chengjun knew that Feng Momo deliberately distracted him, but he could only sit back and watch. The children who grew up in the palace knows everything. Of course, Zhao Chengjun knows what Feng Momo is going to say to Tang Shishi. How does he listen to this kind of thing?
Zhao Chengjun stood up as if there was nothing wrong, and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that there is still something to do outside, so i will leave for a bit."
Feng Momo got up and saw him off: "Wangye naturally has some affairs to get to. The Wangfei has this old slave watching, so please don't worry, Wangye."
Tang Shishi followed him to the door. After Zhao Chengjun went out, Tang Shishi whispered to the maids around her: "You don't need to stay here, you can go."
The maids said yes. The maids filed back, and soon, there were only Tang Shishi and Feng Momo in the room.
Tang Shishi knew that something was coming. With a smile on her face, Tang Shishi motioned to Feng Momo: "Please sit down, Momo."
"The princess, please sit first." Feng Momo took a step back and helped Tang Shishi to sit down before sitting sideways on the bed. She looked at Tang Shishi carefully, looked at her for a while, and said with a smile: "This old slave said before that the princess is a person who wants to enjoy great wealth. Sure enough, it has only been one year, and the princess status is different from the past."
Tang Shishi lowered her eyes and smiled docilely: "I owe it all to the Empress Dowager, this Wangfei doesn't dare to be arrogant."
Feng Momo was very satisfied with Tang Shishi's attitude, Tang Shishi was not so favored and she did not forget her roots. Feng Momo said: "Life and death are destiny, and wealth lies in the sky. It is because of yourself that the princess can come to this point. It can be seen that everyone has a destiny. The Empress Dowager has been thinking about the princess. This time, she came here to ask this old slave to take care of the princess."
Take care of her? Tang Shishi was afraid it was a warning. The expression on Tang Shishi's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled and said, "This Wangfei remembers the teachings of the Empress Dowager, and dare not forget it. I haven't seen Her Highness for a long time, I wonder if the Empress Dowager is in good health?
"Everything is good for the Empress Dowager." After Feng Momo said, she suddenly mentioned, "I saw the princess sigh earlier. I don't know why the princess sighed?"
Tang Shishi was startled, her voice was so soft but Feng Momo actually heard her? Tang Shishi didn't dare to be careless, thought for a moment, and said: "I thought that my mother would be accompanying me for my wedding. I feel very alone and terrified without her."
Feng Momo smiled and patted the back of Tang Shishi's hand, and said meaningfully: "How can the princess have no relatives? You are already pregnant with a child. When the child is born, the child will be your closest relative."
Tang Shishi closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "It's really hard to say what the future will be like."
Feng Momo looked at Tang Shishi's expression, pushing herself and others, she is a good person. She thought she had guessed Tang Shishi's heart, and said unhurriedly: "The princess does not have to worry, you are the princess that the empress dowager has proclaimed, and the clan daughters have to give way when they see you. No matter how courageous the prince is, he won't dare abolish your position. If he really dared to leave the son to his mother, the empress dowager will definitely ask for justice for the princess."
Tang Shishi looked like she was finally relieved, and said moved: "Thank you, empress dowager."
On the surface, Tang Shishi was grateful, but thought inwardly, She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would like her to be left with her child and mother. This way, Empress Dowager Yao has a legitimate reason to openly attack Prince Jing.
The more Feng Momo said this, the more Tang Shishi was sure that Zhao Chengjun would not do anything to her, and she was more afraid of Empress Dowager Yao's people hurting her.
Feng Momo felt that she had mastered the mind of Tang Shishi, and she became more and more sure of herself. She said: "You don't have to be afraid. The Empress Dowager will leave many people in Jing Mansion. If necessary, they will protect you. Now, your task is to raise your baby well. , Give birth to this child safely and gain the trust of Prince Jing. Only when you get his approval can you get in touch with the inside of Prince Jing's Mansion and understand the real things that are happening. At that time, you will be the most important in the eyes of the empress dowager. You have to spy on Prince Jing's every move on behalf of the empress dowager, pay particular attention to whether Prince Jing is against the court."
Tang Shishi promised, but in her heart she thought about what she needed later, she will tell Empress Dowager Yao nothing.
Not only did Zhao Chengjun intend to rebel, he also succeeded in the rebellion. Naturally, Tang Shishi would not tell Feng Momo these words, but she knew he was bound to succeed.
Why would you be the most important person to the Empress Dowager when you can be the Empress Dowager herself?
It's a pity that Feng Momo is preconceived, thinking that Tang Shishi is a stupid and vain woman who can be controlled well. Feng Momo knew the truth about hitting a stick and giving a sweet date. After the threat, she quickly turned her face and said kindly: "The princess does not have to worry, you are the Empress Dowager's favorite person. In any case, the empress dowager will keep you. This time you came to the fief, the Empress Dowager gave you a lot of dowry. Here, this is the dowry list. These things are all the things that the empress dowager has collected for many years. Even someone like Prince Jing will not be able to give it to the princess. Now the princess has this. Why still worry about the future?"
(*hitting a stick and giving a sweet date: lies)
Tang Shishi took the paper, glanced quickly, and raised her eyebrows secretly. The reward was brought in yesterday, but Tang Shishi hasn't had time to look at it. Now that she got the list, she knew that the Empress Dowager had indeed paid the money.
Empress Dowager Yao deliberately prevented Zhao Chengjun from marrying other women, but did not want to be criticized, so she put a lot of effort on Tang Shishi. She raised Tang Shishi's worth and praised her again, boasting that there is nothing in the sky or underground, and she wished to declare that to the whole world that this was a great marriage.
Tang Shishi represents the face of the Empress Dowager Yao, these big figures are not short of money, and will never treat her materially. This is a game between Empress Dowager Yao and Prince Jing. She doesn't know which one will win or lose Tang Shishi, but she has become a direct beneficiary, and it is quite happy to think about it.
Feng Momo gave the money, and the next step began to play the emotional card: "The empress dowager favors the princess very much, almost more intimate than her daughters. Jinling sent ten people, and the princess alone is the most blessed. The others women are muddled and stupid. It's simply stupid to be entangled with good goods. The princess just does her own thing, don't care about the few stupid things, if the situation becomes necessary in the future, everyone will protect the princess."
Tang Shishi understood that Empress Dowager Yao wanted to make her seem the best, even at the expense of the other beauties. Tang Shishi was relieved, and Feng Momo said so, so there is no need to mention Feng Qian.
Empress Dowager Yao will deal with Feng Qian's people, absolutely not involving Tang Shishi.
Madam Feng observed Tang Shishi's expression and played the last and most significant card: "The princess is depressed today. Isn't she homesick? The princess has not returned home for four years. I don't know how much the Tang family has developed over the years. Well, the business has expanded from Linqing to the canal, and even Jinling has a semicolon from the Tang family. By the way, does the princess have a younger sister named Tang Yanyan?"
Tang Shishi suddenly heard the familiar name, and was taken aback for a moment before she answered, "Yes. What's wrong with her?"
"Congratulations to the princess." Feng Momo didn't seem to know the inside story of the Tang family, and said to Tang Shishi with a smile, "The princess is very lucky, her father and brother are good at business, and her brother-in-law is also a talented student. Your second sister's husband passed the civil exam. He will be coming next year to do the official test in the capital."
Tang Shishi was once again in a trance, Qi Jingsheng was actually listed in the exam. He actually did it.
Now, Tang Yanyan, Concubine Su, and even the entire Tang family must be extremely happy.
Tang Shishi lowered her eyes and said softly: "The imperial examination is a place for the court to elect talents. This girl dare not embarrass the Empress Dowager. The concubine thank the queen dowager for her kindness, but it's all about the test. Brother-in-law will pas if he has the ability to pass."
Feng Momo is actually only talking about that although the Empress Dowager Yao is the Empress Dowager, she cannot intervene in political affairs. The imperial examination is a major event in the country.
But with that being said, Tang Shishi took the initiative to refuse, and she won the favor of Feng Momo. Feng Momo smiled with satisfaction: "The princess understands righteousness, it is the blessing of the family, and the Empress Dowager did not mistake you. Don't worry about the princess, your second brother-in-law is blessed by heaven and will surely pass the exam."
Tang Shishi smiled faintly: "I hope so."
Feng Momo had finished explaining what she needed to explain. She said some things to Tang Shishi and got up and left. After Feng Momo left, it was time to eat, but she had no appetite for some reason, so she picked two bites and asked the maid to take things down.
Zhao Chengjun was doing something outside, and Tang Shishi stayed in the Yan'an Courtyard to pass the time. After a while, it was time for the next meal. Tang Shishi now has to eat several meals a day. This time it is not a dinner. Tang Shishi planned to deal with it at will. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengjun came back.
Tang Shishi was very surprised when she saw Zhao Chengjun, and asked, "Wangye, did you leave anything?"
"No." Zhao Chengjun's tone was light, and he didn't leave after he finished speaking, and just sat in the room to watch Tang Shishi eat. Tang Shishi was confused,but she couldn't guess what Zhao Chengjun wanted to do, so she had to ignore it for the time being and eat first by herself.
This time she was served soup. Tang Shishi slowly scooped up the cheese. Zhao Chengjun sat opposite her and asked casually, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Tang Shishi was adamant: "No."
Zhao Chengjun paused, then said: "If you have something on your mind, you can tell it."
Tang Shishi became more and more confused. She thought about it carefully, but still didn't know what she was worried about: "Days are the same as usual, there is nothing special, what can I have on my mind?"
Zhao Chengjun could not see the change on her face, and calmly nodded and said, "That's good."
After Tang Shishi finished eating, the maid stepped forward to clean up the soup. Zhao Chengjun stood up and said, "You are well, the official of the Ministry of Rites is still outside, I will come see you later."
Tang Shishi realized that Zhao Chengjun had dropped the official of the Ministry of Rites to come back to see her eat? Tang Shishi was confused. She wanted to stand up and send Zhao Chengjun out, but was stopped by Zhao Chengjun: "You are much weaker than me. You don't need to send me out."
During this period of time, Zhao Chengjun was very conniving to Tang Shishi, and gradually Tang Shishi got used to it. She didn't move any more and watched Zhao Chengjun go out, and soon disappeared.
Tang Shishi leaned on the bed and thought for a while, but still didn't understand why Zhao Chengjun did this today. If she can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore, Tang Shishi didn't take it seriously, and soon went to do her own thing.
In the evening, Zhao Chengjun finally finished his outside affairs and came back to accompany Tang Shishi for dinner. After the meal, Tang Shishi asked the maid to help her digest as usual, and then went back to the bathing room to take a bath. This is her essential itinerary for the day, and when she is out of the bath, it is already dark.
Tang Shishi was sitting in front of the mirror and combing her hair. She focused on checking the ends of her hair, but did not notice that the movement behind her gradually stopped. Tang Shishi found a fork, and her voice lazily said: "Du Juan, bring the scissors."
She didn't hear Du Juan's response for a long time. Tang Shishi raised her head in confusion, and found that at some point the maids had all withdrawn. Zhao Chengjun stood behind her and asked, "You should avoid sharp objects. What do you want scissors for?"
Tang Shishi followed her long hair and said, "Hair must be trimmed in time to look good." After she finished talking, Zhao Chengjun didn't move, she couldn't bear it, and stared: "What are you still trying to do? Go get the scissors. I can't find the fork."
Zhao Chengjun was dismissed for the first time. He looked at his pregnant wife in front of him. There was really nothing he could do. He had to obediently obey Tang Shishi.
Zhao Chengjun brought the scissors, but he refused to give it to Tang Shishi. Instead, he said, "What do you want to cut, I'll do it."
Zhao Chengjun was scared with Tang Shishi, how could she dare to let herself touch a sharp object. Tang Shishi didn't care, she picked a strand of hair and put it in Zhao Chengjun's hands, and said, "Look carefully at the ends of the hair. If there are long branches, cut them off."
Zhao Chengjun held her hair in his hand, once again helpless. Tang Shishi really regarded him as a maid, and did not hesitate to order him. Zhao Chengjun sat next to her, feeling the warm and delicate fragrance of her sweet wife, her body as soft as boneless, and the long hair like black silk in her hand. He was completely willing to be driven by her.
Zhao Chengjun held Tang Shishi's long hair, and while rubbing her hair, he asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"
He asked about this again, Tang Shishi paused slightly, and then said indifferently: "No."
"If not, why do you only eat so little at noon." Although Zhao Chengjun was a question, his tone was very positive, "Are you thinking about the Tang family?"
Tang Shishi paused. When Zhao Chengjun and Feng Momo ere discussing the wedding in the day, she sighed with regret when she thought that her natal family could not attend her wedding. She thought no one noticed, but she didn't expect Feng Momo to notice as well as Zhao Chengjun to notice.
After being told bluntly, Tang Shishi no longer concealed it, and quickly admitted: "Yes. My mother has been looking forward to my marriage since I was a child. I didn't expect that when I get married, she doesn't even know."
Zhao Chengjun is silent. The wedding is the most important ceremony in a woman's life. Which woman does not want to marry a woman with the blessing of relatives and friends? But because of him, Tang Shishi couldn't even notify her natal family.
Zhao Chengjun tightened his fingers, and after a while, he said, "Don't worry, there will be a chance to compensate in the future."
Zhao Chengjun's voice was very low, but his tone was firm and his words were clear, as if he was making a promise. Tang Shishi chuckled, and took a look at Zhao Chengjun, and said, "Wangye, I will be marrying now. If i have a chance to marry again in the future, it won't be you."
Zhao Chengjun sank his face and pressed her eyebrows: "Nonsense."
Tang Shishi didn't avoid it, and was stunned. She glared at Zhao Chengjun angrily: "It's obviously you who said it, do you still blame me?"
Tang Shishi really felt that she was wronged. Is this a good thing? Zhao Chengjun looked at her with a deep gaze, and he found that Tang Shishi really had a talent, and changed his tricks to annoy him.
What he promised is a second wedding after Tang Shishi gives birth. Ordinary women will naturally not have a second wedding, but a royal family member can. When Tang Shishi was a princess, he couldn't make it a big deal and he feels very guilty because of this.
Tang Shishi is the future Mistress of the Northwest, how can she not be a big deal?
