Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 129: Discovery

In the evening, the court lady reported at the door: "Your Highness, His Majesty is here."

Tang Shishi stood up and greeted Zhao Chengjun: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Chengjun just walked into Zhongcui Palace. He held Tang Shishi's arm and said, "There are no outsiders, so you don't need to do these greetings. Have you eaten dinner?"

Tang Shishi nodded. Zhao Chengjun is very busy every day, and the mansion is different from the palace, and there are many rules, so for the past two days, Tang Shishi and Zhao Chengjun have eaten in their own palace.

It has been a long time since he came to accompany her for dinner.

When Zhao Chengjun heard this he was relieved, and asked about Zhao Zigao. Tang Shishi replied to his questions one by one: "He is still the same, he is getting bigger and he wants to touch everything. But he is not a picky eater, he eats every meal obediently. He ate a lot tonight, and he didn't get sleepy for a while, but the nanny already carried him back to bed."

Zhao Chengjun nodded: "That's good. Recently, I was busy arranging the affairs of court and neglected you. I'll be done soon, then i will come and accompany you."

Zhao Chengjun seemed to do everything smoothly, but he actually spent a lot of work in private. During this time, some people rejoiced, some resisted, but most stayed silent. Now that Zhao Chengjun is on stage, the heroes who helped him must be rewarded. Those who don't cooperate can't simply be killed. The most important thing is the silent majority.

It can't be cleaned up so quickly. Tang Shishi understood that Zhao Chengjun was busy, but when he said that he will be done quickly, she didn't believe him.

After an enthronement, there is a chance that there will be a rebellion against the Emperor, and Zhao Chengjun will be busy fighting the rebellion. When the war subsides, there will be spring plowing and autumn planting, natural and man-made disasters, droughts and floods. How can he not be busy?

Tang Shishi said: "It's okay, Gao'er and I can eat by ourselves. Your Majesty's state affairs are important, so you don't have to come back for us."

Zhao Chengjun frowned when he heard these words. He originally wanted to say something, but thinking that about the work he had to do, he could not promise Tang Shishi at all, so he could only suppress what he wanted to say.

This is really an unsolvable problem. Zhao Chengjun is powerless, so he can only change the subject and ask: "Did the Empress Dowagers make you angry when you went to Cining Palace earlier?"

"No." Tang Shishi laughed, "The West Empress Dowager is sick, and the East Empress Dowager is in a bad mood. She doesn't want to talk to people. I went to see them then came back. What can I be angry about?"

Zhao Chengjun looked at Tang Shishi's expression carefully. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. Zhao Chengjun saw this kind of smile on many women. When his father came to visit his mother, she had the same smile on her face. 

Zhao Chengjun felt cold. He has been trying his best to make up for his busyness. Could it be that he and Tang Shishi will also fall on the same road? (T/N: What Zhao Chengjun is saying is will he and Tang Shishi become a regular royal couple where everything is fake)

Zhao Chengjun slowly calmed down. He remembered his reason for coming and said: "There is only twelve days before the enthronement ceremony. Tomorrow the Shangfu Bureau will come and give you the official garment. If you don't like the details or designs added, tell them directly and let them change it as soon as possible." (T/N: The Shangfu Bureau is like the clothing department of the palace)
