Countless performance ideas flashed through Xiao Tang's mind.

From walking on tightrope to diving and touching sharks.

During a brainstorming session.

Di Jingling was getting restless from her rich imagination.

After some hesitation, Xiao Tang could only say, "My lord, how about I sing you a song?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the man's expression wasn't very good.

【You're the one who wants me to perform, and now you're unhappy when I bring it up. What do you want, heaven or hell?】

result--

She also noticed that the veins on the man's forehead were bulging.

Goodness.

This is an expression of extremely suppressed anger.

Should I sing him a song: A Grateful Heart?

Bang!

The carriage just happened to jolt slightly.

Whether the man intended it or not, Xiao Tang's body swayed and leaned towards her.

And... of all things, it landed right on her chest.

[Damn it, you big villain, how dare you take advantage of me!]

The man was also taken aback and coughed twice.

"princess."

Xiao Tang could vaguely sense some apology in his tone.

"My lord, it's alright. I know you didn't mean it, did you?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at him pitifully with her beautiful, watery eyes.

I see now, you brat, you did it on purpose!

Even though you can tell, I have to say it's okay. After all, I'm now a kind, understanding, and virtuous woman.

But who knew...

A deep male voice sounded in her ear: "Too thin, Your Highness should eat more."

Xiao Tang: ?

She was severely hurt by those words.

His eyes widened like saucers.

Subconsciously, she pulled open her shirt to look at her slightly thin and bony figure.

[You won't believe it until you see it! The original owner of this playboy was severely malnourished! He was skin and bones!]

【but……】

Hehe, I personally like this slim figure.

Little did she know that the man beside her had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The wonderful atmosphere that had just been going so well vanished completely.

For Xiao Tang, the journey was extremely agonizing. She finally managed to get the carriage to a stop, but before she could even get off, her foot had barely tucked out of the carriage...

Suddenly, the man who had already gotten off the bus reached out his large hand.

Xiao Tang stared at the hand with its distinct knuckles unfolding before her eyes. She immediately looked around to make sure it wasn't just a performance for outsiders.

Given Di Jingling's personality, it's highly likely that he just wanted to put on a show of affection in front of outsiders.

Whether this display of affection was meant to mask his pain or to prove to the female lead that he was still doing well, remains to be seen.

A smile bloomed on her face.

I'm becoming more and more professional at acting.

She gently placed her soft, boneless little hand in his palm.

In an instant, Xiao Tang suddenly felt that the atmosphere was particularly subtle.

The man then grasped the jade-like hand in his palm.

Her fair skin shimmered in the sunlight.

Suddenly I felt...

My empty heart was inexplicably filled by this little girl?

Completely unaware of what the man was thinking, Xiao Tang saw that her hand was in his old man's hand and he didn't respond for a long time.

She asked, "Husband, how is this palm reading?"

You've been staring at my paws for ages, it almost made me suspect you were telling my fortune.

Once he came to his senses, Di Jingling tightened his grip and helped her down from the carriage.

This also caused many passing ministers to show surprised smiles.

Xiao Tang was clearly a little embarrassed by the attention she was receiving.

Look at everyone's smirking, uncle-like smiles, I'm speechless.

Xiao Tang thought she would have to wait somewhere for the time being, just like before, but she never expected that the man would pull her directly into the main hall.

Inside the vast hall, the ministers stood in two rows, their dark court robes creating a powerful and oppressive atmosphere.

Looking around, all I could see were men.

Only Xiao Tang, a woman, stood out abruptly in the main hall.

She was being stared at by everyone, so embarrassed that she was digging her toes into the ground.

What exactly is the villain's scheme to get me involved?

[If you want to do something, just do it already! You're making me so uneasy.]

On the throne is the emperor.

[It's been a while, and this emperor uncle looks even older!]

My God, if I do the math, my days are numbered.

It seems the Emperor didn't take the medicine I prescribed on time!

He had already prepared medicine for the emperor many times when he was in the Imperial Hospital.

And it was specially delivered to the Emperor's study.

But these days, she rarely enters the palace, and she doesn't go to the Imperial Hospital much either.

Of course, they also didn't find out anything about the Emperor.

The emperor spoke up: "Jingling, why did you bring your sister-in-law along today?"

This is unprecedented.

The regent bringing the queen to court is incredibly audacious and arrogant!

If it weren't for the fact that the Regent and the Emperor had a very good relationship, those ministers who sided with the Seventh Prince and supported his ascension to the throne would definitely have stood up and criticized him.

The Regent is showing utter disregard for the law and breaking the rules!

Di Jingling calmly explained, "The princess is alone in the palace. I was worried that she would be bored there, so I brought her to the palace to attend court."

Emperor: "Uh..."

He had no idea when his younger brother had become so understanding.

But if you look at it from another angle, doesn't it mean that the Regent cares a lot about this little girl? That's a great thing.

Even if he really passes away, he won't have to worry about his younger brother anymore.

Xiao Tang also felt that it was inappropriate for her to stand there.

Her lips twitched slightly; she wanted to tell Di Jingling that she was going out…

The man said, "The princess is timid by nature and never interferes in court affairs. You all need not be reserved and may speak freely."

[Major villain, I have to criticize you, you're being too despicable and unethical.]

In reality, the vast majority of his ministers didn't take Xiao Tang seriously at all.

She was just a woman.

Even if she comes to court, so what?

The important matters of the court that they usually discussed were probably beyond the comprehension of this country bumpkin.

Xiao Tang could actually understand everything.

His gaze swept across the faces of each minister.

To be honest, she didn't want to look at their faces and tell their fortunes, but at this moment, she was just too bored.

The affairs of the imperial court gradually entered a heated phase.

The ministers began arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, and the hall was filled with chatter, truly living up to the regent's words, "speak freely."

An idea popped into Xiao Tang's head.

[Tomorrow I'll set up a stall at the palace gate and tell their fortunes. Wouldn't that be wonderful?]

What a fun way to make money!

The things these ministers cared about were nothing more than promotions and raises, happy wives and concubines, and a harmonious family.

This is easy to calculate!

Just as Xiao Tang was pondering his grand plan to make money by setting up a stall, a scream suddenly came from the other side.

I wonder where these people left off in their discussion.

The scream came from a minister.

Everyone looked toward the person who had screamed.

The minister looked heartbroken and said, "How could this be? How could the Seventh Prince have done this?"
