"Grandmother, your grandson is here to pick up the princess. It's getting late. She is rude and stupid and I'm afraid she will offend you. If you like, let her come to the palace more often in the future to accompany you."
His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the two women.
Li Tangyi glared at him fiercely, and the Queen Mother frowned.
"You little bastard, who said my granddaughter-in-law is stupid? She is very smart and I love her very much."
Nangong Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. As expected, the Queen Mother really liked Li Tangyi.
The two men chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while before walking side by side out of Shoukang Palace.
The evening breeze is blowing and the night is cool as water.
Li Tangyi turned her head and looked at the handsome face reflected in the flickering candlelight.
"Nangong Jin, why are you so kind to come and pick me up from the palace in person?"
"After sunset, all the poultry and livestock know to go home, but our princess is still not coming back."
Nangong Jin glanced at her and said, Li Tangyi suddenly felt a little angry.
He is clearly comparing himself to a chicken or a duck.
The two of them strolled along the alley. After walking for a while, Li Tangyi finally couldn't help but ask.
"Most of the princes and grandchildren who entered the palace today are with the Queen Mother. Why is your fifth brother not here?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Nangong Lan's return to the palace has been kept secret. For so many days, even I haven't seen him, and the same is true for others."
Nangong Jin's words seemed calm and relaxed.
Take it seriously.
Li Tangyi's face was full of confusion.
He is a grown man, not some shameful lady from a noble family, so why does he have to hide himself after returning to Beijing?
However, she only dared to think about these words in her heart and did not dare to say them in the palace. After all, walls have ears.
The two of them walked in silence for a while, but Li Tangyi was surprised to find that this was not the way out of the palace.
Just when she was about to ask, a figure came and stood directly in front of Li Tangyi.
"Li Tangyi, you're here."
The seventh princess stared with her almond-shaped eyes.
Li Tangyi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Your Highness, Princess, be well and safe."
The seventh princess raised her eyebrows slightly.
"When did you become obsessed with these red tape? It's really annoying. You know I don't care about these."
"Li Tangyi, you secretly went to the border. I only found out about this when I went to look for you. You're really not nice enough!"
Li Tangyi smiled but did not answer. She turned to look at Nangong Jin who was standing beside her with a gloomy face.
Seeing Li Tangyi's eyes, the Seventh Princess noticed that there was an iceberg emitting cold air beside her.
"Third brother, please lend me your wife. I need her help with something!"
After saying that, she pulled Li Tangyi away regardless of anything, and the two girls stood together whispering.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Nangong Jin's eyes darkened a little more than before.
I don't know when this powerful princess of ours got involved with the seventh princess, and it seems they have a very close relationship.
"When did you two become so close?"
The man's voice was cold and revealed his displeasure at being ignored, but the two women simply ignored him.
Nangong Jinyin bent his fingers slightly in his sleeves, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Tangyi's red lips moving, the depression in his heart became even more evident in his eyes.
He held his breath and concentrated. She wanted to listen to Li Tangyi's inner voice again, but there was no other sound except her own heartbeat.
It seemed like he really couldn't hear what Li Tangyi was thinking.
The seventh princess pulled Li Tangyi.
"You don't know that a lot of interesting things have happened in the palace recently. Li is now as fat as a ball. I heard that she can't even get out of bed? But the good news is that she is finally pregnant..."
Li Tangyi raised her eyebrows slightly. This little princess has always been a troublemaker in the palace and has her own information channels. Li Tangyi naturally believed 70% of what he said.
Thinking of Li, Li Tangyi couldn't help but sigh.
The eldest prince proposed to marry Li Tangru in such a high-profile manner, he must want to take her home as his principal wife. Li is pregnant, and she will definitely be a thorn in Li Tangru's side and her life will be difficult.
The two people had a fight.
"Is she okay now?"
"You should know her physique best. Now the eldest prince also hates her.
Just pointed at the belly..."
At this point, Li Tangyi and the Seventh Princess fell into deep thought.
Originally, Li was poisoned. The medicines she prescribed seemed to be tonic, but they were actually detoxifying.
Of course the side effect is that she will gain weight. If she wasn't so obsessed, everything would remain the same.
But now...
Now she is so fat that her whole figure is out of shape. It will be difficult for her to recover even after giving birth. This is her own choice and no one else can interfere.
Seeing that the Seventh Princess looked depressed, Li Tangyi sighed and took her hand.
"Why are you also beginning to be sad about the passing of time? There's no need to lament about other people's fates. Women all have hard lives."
Those who marry into the royal family have an even more miserable life.
Her sigh was truly sincere and was overheard by Nangong Jin who happened to be walking by.
Nangong Jin originally wanted to pull Li Tangyi to do the work quickly.
But after hearing these words, his hand stopped in mid-air.
He had heard Li Tangyi say more than once that she wanted to separate from him.
Hearing her sigh like this, Nangong Jin seemed to understand what Li Tangyi was thinking.
She is not retreating to advance, she really wants to separate...
For a moment, he was also full of thoughts.
A trace of pity flashed through his mind. Li Tangyi was indeed different from ordinary women. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to confine her to this small world.
Feeling Nangong Jinru
Looking at her, Li Tangyi suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
She vigilantly pulled the Seventh Princess to another direction and asked in a low voice.
"I wonder how the Ninth Prince's condition is? I think he should be well again."
When mentioning the Ninth Prince, the Seventh Princess curled her lips.
"You are really good at predicting. He is fine now, but he needs to rest."
At this point, she paused, the smile she had just had disappeared, and a hint of worry appeared on her face.
"To be honest, my brother Nangong Ming has been ill in bed recently. His condition has been getting worse and worse, and the imperial doctors are helpless. I came here this time just to ask you to take a look."
Li Tangyi frowned. The Sixth Prince Nangong Ming was the Seventh Princess's biological brother from the same mother. He had little presence in the harem. Why did he suddenly fall seriously ill?
She looked at Nangong Jin and raised her eyebrows.
So Nangong Jin brought me here just to seek medical treatment for the Sixth Prince?
It was not stated clearly and was kept so mysterious, but it was true that Concubine Xian raised Nangong Jin after all, and Nangong Jin and Nangong Ming grew up together. They were not biological brothers but were better than biological brothers.
Li Tangyi understood and looked at the Seventh Princess and asked, "Did the imperial physician tell him what disease he had?"
The seventh princess shook her head with a bitter face.
"That's poisoning."
Li Tangyi lowered her voice a little, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
