Tang Shishi was silent for a while when she heard Zhao Chengjun mention Imperial Concubine Gonglie and his brothers. Since the minute she entered Jing Mansion, Feng Momo had already mentioned that in Jing Mansion, speaking about Imperial Concubine Gonglie and her sons were a taboo.

The death of an imperial concubine who gave birth to three princes is simply unthinkable and unprecedented. Later, Tang Shishi learned that Zhao Chengjun's two brothers had died in the early years of Yongxi.

At the beginning of Yongxi, that was when Emperor Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Yao just became in charge. The relationship among them, Tang Shishi did not dare to think about it, but looking at the strange looks Zhao Chengjun and Feng Momo shared when Tang Shishi first came to the manor, the two princes deaths may not have been natural.

After thinking about it, Zhao Chengjun's fiancés had accidents one by one, maybe it was not accidental. As a result, Zhao Chengjun was rumored to be a murderous person who killed everyone. His parents, his brothers, his fiancees... all died.

This rumor has fooled many people, and people were wondering when he married a wife. But think about it from another angle. It is not that Zhao Chengjun died of the people around him, but that of all his relatives and friends, he was the only one who survived.

Tang Shishi thought secretly, the person responsible must be Empress Dowager Yao. The next thing is also logical, Tang Shishi is Empress Dowager Yao's person, so Empress Dowager Yao deliberately showed her benevolence, and Zhao Chengjun's wedding was finally held successfully. When Tang Shishi thought about this, she was scared into a cold sweat, and she was glad that she survived. Zhao Chengjun was also very nervous during this period, which now can be explained.

Tang Shishi did not answer the topic regarding Imperial Concubine Gonglie. She couldn't understand what it was like to watch her birth mother be forced to die. If she rashly comforted Zhao Chengjun, she would only appear pretentious. Moreover, this topic is sensitive after all.

So Tang Shishi could only hold Zhao Chengjun's hand, place it on her stomach, and said, "Wangye, the past is over, and those things are not your fault. If you have any regrets, just do well in the future. Wouldn't it be right to teach your child so that he can learn from your mistakes?"

Zhao Chengjun felt blood rush to his palm as he felt his child move. This was his child, a little life who carries his blood, has Guo family blood, and has the shadow of his brothers in his eyebrows.

Zhao Chengjun never thought Zhao Chengting was his brother, and now the emperor who sat on the dragon chair has nothing to do with him. His elder brothers died early, leaving him with no one who was his flesh and blood. He occupied himself with the military for many years and finally had his own child only now. This child turned out to be the only descendant of their family.

Zhao Chengjun felt more and more pity in his heart. Before the child was born, he had already thought out the future arrangements, even the things the child will be learning. Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi and said: "Do you think he should learn how to write well or learn martial arts first? My grandpa and his family have good memory. I heard that you have to recite a dictionary from an early age so that your childhood potential will not be wasted.. By the way, my second brother is especially good at calligraphy and dancing, maybe he has a talent for painting..."

Tang Shishi was displeased, interrupted Zhao Chengjun and said, "Wangye, he has not been born yet. You already arrange a series of things for him. What if he is born an ordinary person? Besides, why can't he be like me? Our family has good drinking capacity and can do quick calculations. We never need an abacus to settle accounts."
