Li Tangyi curled her lips and said nothing. Why didn't she realize before that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao, who was always deep-minded and serious, also had such a side to him.
She placed the box in her arms directly on Nangong Jin's desk.
"I accidentally injured the prince yesterday. I feel really uneasy. Although I just had a simple diagnosis and treatment and it's nothing serious, it's not good for others to see this mark."
Nangong Jin felt something was wrong after hearing her explanation.
Sure enough, he saw Li Tangyi holding a box of coral-colored rouge and a box of pearl powder, and walking up to him gracefully.
The uneasy feeling in my heart intensified.
The fine fat carried a fragrance, and Nangong Jin frowned subconsciously and leaned back.
"Princess, what are you going to do?"
Li Tangyi approached step by step with her specially made powder puff in her hand, smiling.
"Your Highness, you may not know that if there are any marks on your face that shouldn't appear, we women usually use powder to cover them up. I just went back to put on makeup and suddenly thought of this. Pearl powder is just right for the hand marks on your face."
Li Tangyi was nimble and quick, and pressed Nangong Jin forcefully in front of the bronze mirror.
Without waiting for him to say anything, she wiped off all the ointment that had just been applied on his face.
Silvery white pearl powder was applied on the face, and light red coral rouge was used to embellish the cheeks.
Nangong Jin's complexion looked a little weak just now, but after using rouge, her complexion looked rosy.
After finishing everything, Li Tangyi took a step back with the powder box, and admired it carefully from a distance.
Your own masterpiece.
"Look, it turns out that the head-changing technique is applicable everywhere. This is great."
Although Nangong Jin didn't know what Li Tangyi meant, as a seven-foot-tall man, he felt uncomfortable from the inside out when these women's things were thrown at his face.
He was just about to raise his hand to wipe off the rouge on his face when Li Tangyi cried out and pounced on him.
"Your Highness, don't wipe it off. I spent a lot of effort to draw this."
Nangong Jin was really helpless, he spoke in a cold voice with a hint of admonition.
"You are going to enter the palace soon. This is outrageous. This is simply ridiculous."
Although her tone was cold, she raised her hand to wipe off the rouge but stopped there.
Seeing that he said no but his body was honest, Li Tangyi smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your skin is so delicate that you can't even tell you're wearing powder. Besides, if you enter the palace, do you have to bear these five finger marks? Wouldn't that be even more strange?"
The two of them walked out of the palace one after the other in a somewhat awkward manner and sat in the carriage. Li Tangyi was still staring at Nangong Jinmeng with a smile.
Nangong Jin closed his eyes and rested. His eyes were restrained and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward for a moment.
When the carriage reached the Xuanwu Gate, it suddenly stopped. A young eunuch in a blue robe stood respectfully in front of the horse at the gate.
"Your Highness Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao, I am serving in the palace of the Virtuous Consort, and have been waiting here for a long time."
After hearing his words, Nangong Jin and Li Tangyi looked at each other. It was so early in the morning that the virtuous concubine had someone waiting here, which must mean that there was something important to discuss.
The virtuous concubine is not Nangong Jin's biological mother, so it would be inconvenient for him to go to the concubine's palace early in the morning.
Nangong Jin knew how to avoid suspicion, but Li Tangyi did not have this concern.
She followed the eunuch and hurried to the gate of Concubine Xian's palace. Before I entered, I heard a cry.
"Princess Xiao is still the same as always, so unruly."
When Li Tangyi looked up, she saw Princess Nangong Le, who had a coquettish look on her face, standing at the door in a beautiful silk dress.
She is one year younger than the Seventh Princess, with a petite figure and facial features that are 50% similar to those of the Queen. As a legitimate princess, she was naturally brought up in pampering, and her personality is even more arrogant and domineering. It is said that a few days ago, because she was dissatisfied with the service of the palace maids in front of her, she directly gave them a lash of red.
Li Tangyi glanced sideways and still bowed slightly with courtesy.
"Your Highness the Princess also has to go visit Her Majesty the Consort."
The girl, who had not yet reached marriage age, had a swagger on her face.
"I am not as good as Princess Xiao, who likes to serve others and be at your service. Of course, I came here to find the virtuous concubine for something important."
After saying this, she didn't even look at Li Tangyi, and led a group of workers directly into the main hall of Concubine Xian.
Seeing that the person was coming with ill intentions, Li Tangyi followed him with a stern look in her eyes.
Nangong Le has always been arrogant and sideways in the palace. Today, she was even more unruly in front of the Empress Xianfei. She rushed into the inner hall in a reckless manner.
The virtuous concubine was leaning on the couch, and several palace maids were rubbing her forehead.
"Eight, Princess, what brings you here?"
Seeing Nangong Le being so unruly, Concubine Xian was not angry
, still looking at her with a smile.
Li Tangyi stood aside and curled her lips. If it were her, she might not be able to bear it. To be able to sit in this position in the palace, the mentality is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"My Lady Consort Xian, we all live in the palace. Your own son's life is a life, but are our lives not lives?"
The questioning was quick and urgent.
8. The princess spoke harshly and it looked like she wanted to eat the virtuous concubine alive.
"Eight, why do you say that, Princess?"
The virtuous concubine remained calm and stretched out her hand to look at the long filigree gold armor on her nails.
"Nangong Ming is seriously ill and won't live long. I heard it's an infectious disease. Do you want everyone in the palace to be buried with him?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian and Li Tangyi were both shocked.
The two looked at each other and suppressed their surprise and anger.
"Eight, Princess, why do you say that? You can't just say anything nonsense about whether the Sixth Prince is sick, let alone an infectious disease. This matter can be serious or minor."
Li Tangyi stood up and stood in front of Concubine De.
"You have no right to speak here. Why are you pretending to be a good person? You don't live in this palace. You certainly don't care whether we live or die."
8. The princess was obviously confident and pointed at the virtuous concubine arrogantly.
"Quickly call out your good son and daughter-in-law. If they are not sick, I am willing to kneel down and apologize to Sixth Brother immediately. If he really has an infectious disease, find someone to throw them out of the palace right now."
Even if Concubine Xian had a good temper, she would
It's impossible to have no energy at all.
With a snap, the armor hit the table.
"Eight, Princess, you are too presumptuous. The Emperor and Empress Dowager are here. When will it be your turn to give orders in my palace?"
The power of Concubine Xian when she gets angry cannot be underestimated.
8. The princess was obviously feeling guilty, but thinking of the person behind her, she still stiffened her neck and took two steps forward.
"I don't care. As long as I live in this palace, I won't allow anyone to harm us and throw out those with infectious diseases."
While Concubine Xian and the Eighth Princess were arguing, Li Tangyi frowned.
The news that Nangong Ming had leprosy had been kept secret by Concubine Xian, who only said that he was weak and needed rest. How did this news leak out?
Few people come and go in Concubine Xian's place, and the flow of people is not complicated. If you investigate carefully, you will definitely be able to find out who is gossiping.
But if he leaves the palace, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, and it would be impossible to find out the truth.
Only a handful of people knew from the beginning that the Sixth Prince had leprosy.
If she is not someone from Concubine Xian's palace or the Seventh Princess, then there is only one possibility.
Thinking of this, Li Tangyi couldn't help but shudder.
A few days ago, the man was still sanctimonious and told him to save his son.
I didn't expect that he would change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Just as they were in a stalemate, a slender figure walked out from behind the screen.
The voice was extremely cold.
"Eight, Princess, have you forgotten the order of seniority?"
