Seeing Nangong Jin staring in one direction with cold and resolute eyes, Li Tangyi thought that the words he had just said had angered the moody Nangong Jin.

She nudged the man next to her with her elbow, with a flattering smile on her face.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely keep your words in mind. Don't mess with your good brother."

She seemed to be speaking from the bottom of her heart, but in fact she was secretly complaining in her mind.

Growing up in the royal family, each of these brothers has his own plans. Who would be willing to provoke them?

Nangong Jin naturally did not miss this teasing. He frowned and looked at Li Tangyi unfriendlyly.

Li Tangyi felt a chill down her spine.

"My Lord, thank you for saving me. I'm fine now. Let's go back quickly to collect herbs. It's almost dark."

As she spoke, she laughed dryly twice and limped towards the thorn bush.

On the surface, she seemed to be concerned about the medicinal materials, but in fact, she didn't want to be alone with Nangong Jin.

She was really afraid that she might say something wrong and Nangong Jin would lose control of his emotions and send her to death.

She was living quite happily in this strange world and didn't want to return home so early.

Nangong Jin felt that the information he heard today was a bit complicated and he needed to digest it carefully.

While picking herbs, he followed behind with a cold face, thinking about what Li Tangyi had just said, and remained silent along the way.

The wound on Li Tangyi's ankle was a little painful, and she was too lazy to talk, so she just walked in silence all the way.

carriage

After entering the city gate, one could hear the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers from afar.

Li Tangyi opened her eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out with a little interest.

"Look, this is the royal family marrying a wife, the duke marrying his daughter, the ceremony is really grand."

"I heard that Duke Ning dotes on this second young lady the most, and the eldest prince also has a special liking for her and personally proposed to the emperor in marriage."

"The Third Prince's wedding was far inferior to what it is now."

Gossip came like snowflakes.

Li Tangyi curled her lips indifferently.

"Your eldest brother really loves to show off. It's just marrying a piece of junk, why make such a fuss?"

Li Tangyi has always looked down on Li Tangru and Nangong Yue. At this moment, she blurted out what she was thinking, but she forgot that Nangong Jin next to her once had a close relationship with Li Tangru.

After she said it, she felt something was wrong.

"Well, Your Highness, don't worry too much. Li Tangru..."

Nangong Jin looked over coldly.

Seeing Nangong Jin's gloomy face, Li Tangyi couldn't find any words to whitewash that vicious woman Li Tangru.

Just as he was hesitating, Nangong Jin said indifferently: "No need to explain, what kind of person she is has nothing to do with this prince."

These words were said in a very natural and straightforward manner, and Li Tangyi frowned in surprise.

Li Tangru used to be the white moonlight and the cinnabar mole in Nangong Jin's heart.

She was a small-time thief occupying the magpie's nest. For this reason, the Third Prince wanted to kill her several times.

Why is the sky so indifferent?

Li Tangyi's puzzled gaze drifted towards Nangong Jin from time to time.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Facing Li Tangyi's inquiring eyes, Nangong Jin remained indifferent.

He himself didn't know since when hearing Li Tangru's name no longer stirred any waves in his heart.

Instead, it was the woman in front of him who always touched his heart.

The eldest prince sent the betrothal gift with great fanfare, and the Duke's Mansion suddenly felt proud.

Not only was the event organized in a grand manner, but it was also publicized everywhere.

Li Tangyi sneered and said, forget it, let them do whatever they want.

After returning to the palace, she didn't even look at Nangong Jin and let Baicai and Lingdang help her back to her own courtyard.

A whole basket of medicinal herbs yielded a rich harvest.

"As expected, hard work pays off. Go and help me dry all the herbs. The purification process cannot be delayed."

The two little girls looked solemn, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Li Tangyi's expression was normal.

In the end, it was Lingling who walked forward and spoke tentatively.

"Miss, the second young lady is getting engaged today."

"So what? What does it have to do with me?"

Li Tangyi raised her eyebrows and didn't take it to heart at all.

"The Duke's daughter is the eldest daughter. There was no such pomp and ceremony when she got married."

Li Tangyi smiled nonchalantly.

"She is as stupid as a pig, yet she dares to make a fuss about it. In the end, they are the ones who lose face."

There is a sharp blade hanging over his head, yet he still dares to act so arrogantly, unafraid of being mutilated in the end.

Just not

But Li Tangyi didn't care whether she was dead or alive, she was just waiting to see the joke.

Over the next three days, Li Tangyi was in a good mood as she watched the herbs drying up and the day for purification getting closer.

On this day, he was studying the purification device crown in the yard, when he suddenly saw the servant from the front yard running in in a hurry.

"Princess, the Queen Mother's decree has arrived. Please go to the front hall to receive it."

Li Tangyi kept working, and only stood up and clapped his hands after connecting the last glass bottle.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the Queen Mother. Now is a good time for me to change the environment and relax."

After saying that, she followed the servant straight to the front hall.

Nangong Jin was already sitting in the main seat. When he saw Li Tangyi, he pursed his thin lips.

"I didn't expect you to be such a favorite of the Queen Mother."

"I have a bad temper with the Queen Mother. What's the matter? The prince doesn't want me to be on good terms with the people in the palace."

Li Tangyi raised her eyebrows. Because of the war, the harem had to tighten its belt and the Empress Dowager had postponed the birthday banquet.

Now that the Third Prince has returned triumphantly, Princess Xiao naturally has to go to the palace to take a look.

"Although the Queen Mother is over 70 years old, she is still sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. I advise you not to flirt with her."

Li Tangyi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This man really looks down on people through a keyhole.

"The Queen Mother invited me sincerely, and I treated her with my heart. Why is it that when it comes to Your Majesty, it seems like I am trying to curry favor with the Queen Mother?

!”

She just came to report, why did she get taught a lesson by this bastard?

After saying that, she didn't even look at Nangong Jin and turned back to dress up.

The pharmacy has been relatively peaceful recently, and the exam is still early, so Li Tangyi was thinking of bringing some newly developed supplements to the Queen Mother.

"Bai Cai, take out all the brocade boxes I prepared earlier."

Baicai and Lingling quickly prepared the items for entering the palace.

After entering the palace, the Queen Mother saw Li Tangyi smiling happily.

"Among so many grandsons and nephews, Princess Xiao is my favorite after all." Several old maids who had served the empress dowager all year round also joined in the fun.

"The Queen Mother has always had a keen eye. Princess Xiao is intelligent, virtuous, and filial. Since she entered the palace, you have smiled more often."

Li Tangyi stood aside with a smile on her face, listening to the compliments and flattery with a calm smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Grandmother, I feel really bored in the palace. I have long wanted to come and have a chat with you, but there are too many rules in the palace..."

Li Tangyi knew very well that what the elderly needed most was companionship, especially the Empress Dowager. She had no worries about food and clothing and was extremely wealthy, but the palace had many rules and regulations, and what she lacked most was children and grandchildren around her.

"Okay... okay." The Queen Mother smiled kindly and held Li Tangyi's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

It was not until after dinner, when the palace gates were about to be locked, that Nangong Jin rushed to the empress dowager's bedroom, exhausted.
