Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 54: Tempted

Zhao Chengjun was taken aback and feeling angry for no reason. He was not angry at Tang Shishi's refusal, but at her words.

Improper for men and women to touch each other.

The Yan dynasty has strict etiquette. Men and women have different seats from the age of six. When a girl grew up, she could not see men other than her own father and brother. Sometimes even her distant male cousins have to avoid it. These short few words were an insurmountable gap in etiquette.

Zhao Chengjun just realized that he was also an outsider to Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi cut him out of the line in one sentence. Zhao Chengjun wanted to refute that they were the beauties given by Empress Dowager Yao to Prince Jing's mansion. Even the land in the northwest was his, let alone Tang Shishi? However, Zhao Chengjun also knew that what Tang Shishi said was right. She was unmarried and innocent. Other men in the world were outsiders to her. They could not look directly at her face or touch her body.

Except for her own father and brothers, and her future husband's family.

Zhao Chengjun stared at Tang Shishi motionlessly for a while, slowly let go of her hand, and let her get up. Tang Shishi got her arms free, and quickly get up from the ground. She stumbled for a while and then managed to stand firmly, only then did she feel a dull pain in her back and butt.

Tang Shishi thought happily despite her pain. Fortunately, the clothes were thick, there was snow buffer on the ground, and no broken skin. Otherwise, with such a big scar on her back, she had to cry to death and reincarnate again.

Zhao Chengjun saw that her expression was wrong, and asked, "Where does it hurt?"

Tang Shishi was embarrassed to say that her lower back and butt hurt. She shook her head and said, "It's alright. I wore several layers of clothes and haven't hurt my body."

Zhao Chengjun looked at her expression and knew that she was lying, but fortunately, she did not hurt her physique, at most it was a superficial injury. Scraping a little skin or bleeding a little was not a wound in Zhao Chengjun's eyes.

Zhao Chengjun said, "You try to take two steps slowly on the ground. Does your leg hurt?"

Tang Shishi walked according to Zhao Chengjun's instructions and finally shook her head. Zhao Chengjun asked again, "How about the ankle?"

Tang Shishi still shook her head. Zhao Chengjun was completely relieved and said, "That's good. The ground is hard in winter, and a fall is no small matter. In the future be more careful, don't be careless."

Tang Shishi lowered her eyes and responded lowly. Zhao Chengjun thought it was Tang Shishi's carelessness, but he did not know that she fell on purpose.

This was exactly what Tang Shishi intended. She wished Zhao Chengjun would never know it.

Today, she successfully concealed from Empress Dowager Yao's spy through the flop and secretly saved Zhao Chengjun once. Although Tang Shishi did not know whether Zhao Chengjun needed her to save him or not.

Tang Shishi lowered her eyes and secretly warned herself that only this time and not to be repeated again. Next time, she would not have today's good luck, and the target she wanted to fight for was Zhao Zixun.

Zhao Chengjun was just a stepping stone that destined him to die young, and Zhao Zixun was the future emperor. She actually risked her life to save a man who had nothing to do with her. Tang Shishi was wondering, was she crazy?

Zhao Chengjun was relieved when he saw that Tang Shishi was all right, "Fortunately, you're alright. Everything you do really make others worry. Quickly go back to the carriage and have a rest. No need to worry about outside matters. There is me in everything."
