Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 53: Lost

With such heavy snow, going out was not just a casual talk. While changing clothes for Tang Shishi, Dujuan could not help complaining, "Miss, going up the mountain to save people is not an easy job. With Wangye around, Shizi and Shizi Consort will be fine. If you are really worried, you can recite the Buddhist scriptures in the mansion. Why bother to look outside?"

Tang Shishi was noncommittal and said, "Stop talking. I have my own decision. When I'm not here these two days, you keep an eye on the door and don't let the little fox run around."

Dujuan was reluctant in every possible way, but in the end, she had no choice but to comply. Tang Shishi wore a thick cloak and went out. As soon as she opened the curtain, she was swallowed by the wind.

Tang Shishi was almost blown away by the wind and hesitated a while. Now that everything was settled, the plot that the male and female leads should happen had happened, and Zhou Shunhua should be in the limelight has also happened. Now, she could not help with the past but had to suffer her own crimes. Tang Shishi was shaken for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and continued to move forward in the end.

Opportunities were only reserved for those who were prepared. She had missed too much. There was nothing to remedy now, she could only go directly to Zhou Shunhua's post-closing ceremony.

Tang Shishi had already given up so much to enter the imperial palace, certainly, she did not come to serve others.

Dujuan was afraid that Tang Shishi would be cold on the road, wrapped her up like a ball, and she could not even run smoothly. Tang Shishi hurried to the second gate, and Liu Ji was already waiting outside the gate with someone. Liu Ji swept through Tang Shishi's chubby dress, and said, "Miss Tang, traveling on a snowy day is different from ordinary going out. You'll suffer a lot on the road. Not to mention no one knows what's going on in the mountain. If you're unlucky, you may have to get out of the carriage and walk on your own. Miss Tang, have you really thought about it?"

"I've thought about it." Tang Shishi nodded and said, "Gonggong, thank you for reminding me. I understood."

Liu Ji persuaded her out of friendship but would not say again. Upon seeing this, he no longer dissuaded her, and rather simply explained the situation in the carriage to Tang Shishi, "The charcoal basin and handwarmer on the carriage are ready, but Wangye wants to travel light and can't pack a lot of charcoal. You can save some on the way. There are preserved fruits and snacks in the drawer and there's no way to make fire along the road. If you can't make it to the mountain villa in Nanshan today, you can only eat cold food."

Tang Shishi responded one by one and thanked Liu Ji, "Gonggong, thank you for your thoughtfulness. I have caused a lot of trouble to Gonggong. I'm really sorry. When I get back, I'll personally come to thank you."

"No worries." Liu Ji said with a smile, "It's all for Wangye. What's the trouble? On the journey, I hope you will remind Wangye not to let him personally take risks."

Tang Shishi concurred. She knew that Zhao Chengjun was in a hurry and did not talk to Liu Ji again. It was challenging for her to climb up the carriage with her thick clothing. Sure enough, the inside of the carriage was as Liu Ji explained, small but complete in every detail. It was not easy for Liu Ji to prepare to this extent in such a short time.

After Tang Shishi sat down, the carriage started to move. The carriage drove out of the side gate, stopped slightly, and then continued on the road.

When the wheels of the carriage rolled across the snow, it made creaking sounds, in addition to the orderly and steady sound of horses' hooves.

Tang Shishi's carriage was placed at the back section of the convoy. She quietly opened the curtain and saw that there were many cavalries followed behind. They were not too far away and happened to be surrounding the carriage in every direction. These people have cold appearances, strong and powerful, riding on the horses like invincible gods. The people along the road were captured by their aura. The common people dare to gossip in a low voice only when they were far away.
