Li Tangyi frowned slightly, and she looked up at the person who spoke.
This man had a frail body and handsome features, but his eyes were somewhat sinister. Although he was smiling, he gave people a very uncomfortable and gloomy feeling.
She knew from her memory of the original novel that this was the fourth prince of the dynasty, Nangong Zheng.
Historically, Nangong Zheng died a miserable death because he chose the wrong side in the fight for the throne.
A poor man, Li Tangyi originally didn't want to bother with him.
But this person targeted her right away, thinking she was a soft persimmon?
Still a hypocritical and scheming dog!
It was obvious that he wanted to say that she was ugly and that Nangong Jin disliked her, so he refused to bring her out to meet people.
Li Tangyi rolled her eyes slightly, then smiled and said warmly, "Does Fourth Prince really think I'm beautiful?"
Nangong Zheng’s expression paused.
It was obvious that his words were just a casual politeness, and his main purpose was to embarrass Nangong Jin in public.
After all, the prince who was once the most favored by the emperor was now separated from the palace and had his own mansion built early, and he also married such an unbearable fat woman.
They, the brothers, had been waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
But Nangong Jin didn't respond. Instead, Li Tangyi smiled at him politely. Nangong Zheng didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Li Tangyi continued to ask, "What's so beautiful about me? Is it my figure or my face?"
Nangong Zheng: “…”
Li Tangyi's smile deepened: "I didn't expect that the fourth prince had such a unique vision. He could see my unknown side when we first met.
Beauty is completely different from those vulgar people who judge people by appearance. It is really admirable!"
Everyone present was a shrewd person. Who couldn't hear the irony in Li Tangyi's words?
For a moment, Nangong Zheng felt a surge of heat on his face and his expression twisted for a moment.
Seeing that he was blushing and unable to answer, Li Tangyi's smile deepened a little.
Humph, little thing, you only have these little tricks and you still want to make fun of me.
Maybe next life!
Nangong Jin glanced at Li Tangyi unexpectedly, with admiration in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
This woman was actually smarter than he thought, and was someone who would not suffer any loss.
Soon, a low murmur of ridicule was heard from the crowd: "Tsk, doesn't she have any self-awareness? How can she have the nerve to ask..."
Li Tangyi raised her eyes and glanced. The person who spoke was the eldest prince's concubine, Li, a very delicate and beautiful woman.
The eldest prince Nangong Yue has not yet married a wife, and the person he brings with him whenever he goes out is always Li, who is quite favored.
But no matter how favored she was, Li Tangyi would not tolerate her anger, and she was about to retort.
But there are people who are faster than her.
It was a young boy's voice that was still a little childish: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I just think the Third Emperor's wife is very beautiful, chubby, very blessed, and eloquent. She is a perfect match for the taciturn Third Emperor brother."
Hey, good boy, you have good vision.
The man who spoke for Li Tangyi was the youngest son of the current emperor.
The ninth prince, Nangong Suo, is still very young and has not even tied his hair up. He has red lips and white teeth and is a slightly spoiled young man.
Historically, the Ninth Prince had a good ending because he did not fight or compete, lived a peaceful and stable life, and died of old age.
Li Tangyi was pondering in her heart, not knowing that it had all been heard by Nangong Jin who was standing next to her, and his eyes became even more profound.
The eldest prince slowly raised his eyes and smiled gently: "Old Nine, you are just a child, what do you know? Don't join in the fun."
The Ninth Prince curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
He is already thirteen, what a kid.
At this time, a eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the hunting grounds: "The emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen has arrived."
Everyone quickly got up and rushed to the entrance of the hunting ground.
The Emperor has arrived and everyone kneels to welcome him.
Li Tangyi then knelt beside Nangong Jin, quietly raised her eyes, and saw the queen and emperor, who were both extremely beautiful, slowly approaching her.
Someone behind him whispered, "Why isn't the Imperial Concubine here..."
"It is said that the Imperial Concubine is seriously ill and cannot travel, so the Emperor did not bring her with him."
Li Tangyi's eyes darkened slightly. The imperial concubine they were talking about was the emperor's most beloved woman, Xu Sipei.
Her brilliance in the harem once surpassed that of the queen, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was the most favored in the harem.
Is she sick?
I don’t know what disease it is. It has never happened in history.
While he was thinking, the emperor had already walked up to him, his brows stern, "Gentlemen, please stand up. Today is the Spring Hunting Ceremony.
"Enjoy yourself, don't be too formal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The ministers said some auspicious words again, and then stood up.
The queen glanced at Li Tangyi who was kneeling beside Nangong Jin, and immediately smiled: "Princess Xiao is here too. After your treatment last time, the queen mother felt much better and she kept talking about you. If you are free, come to the palace to accompany the queen mother. You are also welcome in my Fengyi Palace."
As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes fell on Li Tangyi again, with some teasing, some contemptuous, and some questioning.
No one believed that this woman could cure the Queen Mother.
But how could what the Queen said be false?
Although everyone didn't believe it, they didn't dare to question it.
Seeing that Li Tangyi could win the Queen's favor, many female relatives present were so jealous that their faces turned pale.
Why does she do that?
He is obviously talentless and moralless, so how could he have such bewitching abilities to make the queen look at him differently?
Suddenly, several cold gazes were directed towards Li Tangyi.
Li Tangyi once again became the target of public criticism.
In her heart, she cursed the queen for being so mean and deliberately provoking trouble, but on her face she smiled very obediently: "Thank you, mother. As long as you don't mind, I will often bother you and the Empress Dowager in the future!"
Her obedient and gullible appearance made the queen extremely satisfied.
After all, this woman is much easier to control than Nangong Jin.
If I have a good relationship with her, it will be more convenient to find out about the affairs of Prince Xiao's Mansion through her in the future.
Everyone in the group has their own thoughts
, surrounded by the emperor and the queen, they walked into the main hall of the hunting ground.
The hunting ground attended by the emperor himself was magnificent beyond words.
Not only were there civil and military officials accompanying him, but all the princes and princesses were also present.
In addition, there were as many as a thousand close guards, as well as a number of eunuchs and palace maids, each of whom had his own duties, and the situation was busy but not chaotic.
There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages carrying all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, and the scene was very grand.
Before the hunting officially begins, there are warm-up activities, and several princes go to warm up the atmosphere and get a head start.
Nangong Jin has to go too.
Several princes present brought their close guards and said a few harsh words before entering the venue, all wanting to come out on top in this warm-up match.
As long as it involves competition, they have always been unwilling to give in to each other.
There are a lot of prey in the hunting grounds. Everyone has to rely on their own skills after entering. Who wouldn't want to show off their skills and please the emperor?
Li Tangyi thought that the match where the bastard broke his leg should be in the afternoon, and the history books said it was at dusk, so there should be nothing to do in the morning?
So she found a deserted place and prepared to rest for a while before talking.
It's just a little chilly in early spring. It's her fault for not bringing a cushion or something. This bastard didn't say she could bring a maid. There's no one around her who she can order around. If she sits down, won't she get menstrual cramps?
Forget it, forget it. She rubbed her old waist and still felt that it was more important to take a rest.
Unexpectedly, before she sat down, something bigger than her head came towards her face!
