What happened on the wedding day of Prince Rong spread quickly as the guests left. There were rumors that the bride was replaced, Tang Cheng brought his own meals, and the noble lady who was looking for trouble and throwing dirty water was torn apart.
The most heated discussion was whether Tang Si was playing dumb to gain advantage. Some people even dug up and analyzed everything Tang Si had done, and forcibly suppressed the news that Prince Xiao's bride had been replaced.
Today, Tang Cheng is still the most talked-about person in Beijing.
Prince Rong’s Mansion was delighted by this.
Prince Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he thought about Tang Si's naturally hot-tempered physique, but of course he was more grateful to her for diverting everyone's attention.
Nowadays, people are talking about Tang Cheng everywhere in the teahouses and bars on the street, and public opinion is raging about whether she is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
In a teahouse
"I pride myself on having a keen eye, but I never thought I would be wrong one day. Fourth Miss Tang is truly a model of great wisdom and foolishness."
"Ahem, isn't it too much to praise Miss Tang Si as being very wise but appearing foolish? I think Miss Tang Si is just a little smarter than the average person, and she's not a bad person by nature."
"I agree. If it weren't for the replacement of Prince Rong's bride, and if it weren't for those people who dug up every detail of Miss Tang's past, I wouldn't have known that Miss Tang, who is said to be notorious, arrogant, and always courting death, has never done a single bad thing. It's really unbelievable. This shows that Miss Tang is not a bad person. Rumors are just rumors after all, and they can't be trusted."
"Yes, it's much better than those people who say one thing and do another. Although Miss Tang Si is rebellious, cruel and violent, I just like her unbridled and unbridled attitude. Her life is too comfortable and easy. I really want to live like her!"
"Come on, if you want to live like the Fourth Miss Tang, you must first have a powerful father who dotes on you. If not, just go to bed. Don't dream in broad daylight!"
"No, you have to have that fate first, and then be reborn into a good family, otherwise it will be useless to go back and re-invent yourself!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"… "
As the conversation went on, the topic changed to everyone envying Tang Cheng's good life.
Xie Xue Ning, who was quietly taking care of her pregnancy, was stunned for a long time when she heard the maid talk about Tang Si pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. After she came to her senses, she laughed at herself.
What does it matter whether it is true or not? No matter whether Tang Si is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger or not, that is Tang Si's ability. She, Xie Xue Ning, is just a loser. Of course, losing to a powerful opponent is better than losing to a spoiled and brainless idiot. At this moment, the last trace of unwillingness hidden in Xie Xue Ning's heart disappeared.
She was not as lucky as Tang Si. She did not have a father, the Marquis, who doted on her to the heavens. Her aunt was still her aunt after all, and it was false favor that her dead mother had calculated for her.
Obviously, her uncle and her cousin the prince avoided her for the sake of her aunt.
Where did she get the confidence to think that the position of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was in her pocket
Xie Xue Ning just felt that her past self was ridiculous.
In the imperial study, the emperor was smiling and asking the Duke of Zhenguo, who had just returned from military training in the western suburbs, "Lord Wen, there are rumors that Tang Si is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. What do you think of this?"
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the gossiping emperor expressionlessly: "I have never thought that Tang Si is a fool."
The emperor laughed out loud.
"Yes, people are so ignorant, or they don't want to believe that Tang Si is a smart person. It's true that Tang Si is arrogant and unorthodox, but she is definitely not stupid. She has never done anything to harm others, and she has never killed anyone."
The emperor knew this better than anyone else.
Otherwise, why would the emperor be so indulgent to Tang Si? Apart from the reason of the body-strengthening potion, the emperor also valued Tang Si's character. When he joked about marrying Tang Si to the fourth prince, he was sincere.
Of course, he is not the only one with vision. The Duke of Zhenguo is one of them. Tang Si is not afraid of any rumors and does what she wants. She is indeed suitable to marry into a military family.
The Duke of Zhenguo raised the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
He was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Tang Si. Not only was she capable of giving birth, but she also managed the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner. Compared with his wife Min, except for her bad reputation, she was more capable.
The Duke of Zhenguo discovered this after Tang Si got married, not to mention his son, otherwise why would he hand over the housekeeper power directly to Tang Si.
On the other hand, the reactions of the Queen Mother and Liu Jintong were much more intense. The Queen Mother secretly hated Tang Cheng for being as cowardly as a mouse and bringing his own meals, which led to the failure of her plan. As for Liu Jintong, a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, and he felt uncomfortable and angry.
In her opinion, if Tang Cheng was not stupid, he would not have killed himself in his previous life.
It must be the credit of Master Wen that Tang Cheng has become what she is in this life. As far as she knows, after Tang Cheng married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Master Wen personally taught Tang Cheng how to write, and he must have taught her other things as well, otherwise Tang Cheng would not have been transformed so much.
Liu Jintong sneered at Tang Cheng's extremely crooked and ugly handwriting.
"What do you mean by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? It's just that there are people around me who give me advice and guidance!"
"It is said that it is difficult to change a person's nature. It won't be long before Tang Si will be beaten back to his original form!"
Liu Jintong was unwilling to admit that she was jealous of Tang Cheng to the point that her eyes turned red.
There are always some people in the world who are unwilling to acknowledge the excellence of others. She doesn't know that after three days of absence, one should look at him with new eyes. After more than half a year of Wen Huaian's teaching, Tang Cheng's handwriting is not only presentable, but also particularly beautiful.
Tang Cheng, who was at the center of the storm, didn't care about the rumors outside at all. She was in a very good mood and teased Dabao for a while. Then she sent a pigeon letter to Wen Huaian to show off what happened today in a concise manner.
"Miss, you are famous again. Everyone says that you are playing the pig and eating the tiger, and you are fooling everyone around." Zhenzhu smiled and told Tang Cheng the speculations of those people outside.
Tang Cheng laughed as she listened. She was not surprised at all that such rumors would spread. Tang Cheng did not intend to be labeled as brainless for the rest of her life.
That's good.
Spoken through someone else's mouth.
"It seems that my gold, which has been buried in the sand, is finally going to shine."
Tang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled teasingly.
"The lady has always been gold, but those people just don't have good taste."
Zhenzhu agreed with a smile, selectively forgetting that if it weren't for the people sent by Nanyang Marquis to keep an eye on him, the original Tang Cheng would have gone out of his way and been led astray by countless people with ulterior motives.
Tang Cheng was very happy to hear this. He gave a generous reward and then called the butler Tang Ping over.
Tang Cheng did not forget to repay the Empress Dowager.
"Butler Tang, when will the things I want be ready?"
Tang Ping replied: "Within three days."
Tang Cheng nodded.
The results of the imperial examination will be announced in a few days. She should not steal the limelight from the other students, so it would be better for her not to cause trouble. Of course, even if Tang Cheng wanted to cause trouble, she didn't have the conditions to do so.
