Imperial Study
The emperor looked at the beautiful, bright, and rosy-faced arrogant girl in front of him and asked with interest, "You are the legendary spoiled, brainless, and unlearned Fourth Miss Tang. Why do I feel that the rumors are not true?"
The core has been changed, but it is not in vain.
Tang Cheng nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is wise. You really have a sharp eye and can see that I am a person with substance. So the legend is not credible. You see, this false legend of mine is the best evidence."
Eunuch Fu was very upset. Fourth Miss Tang was really good at boasting.
The emperor glanced at the Nanyang Marquis who looked like he agreed, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He asked Tang Cheng with rare curiosity: "Tang Si, what kind of person do you think you are?"
“Great wisdom appears foolish.”
Tang Cheng felt that she should make a good impression on the emperor. Thinking about her and the original owner's situation, she felt that the saying "wise but foolish" was very appropriate.
“Ahem!”
The emperor was so shocked that he almost choked on his saliva.
This little girl Tang Si is really bold!
The crappy things this little girl has done have nothing to do with being wise but appearing stupid. She's not very wise at all, but she is pretty stupid!
Eunuch Fu: “…”
I have never seen anyone so shameless as to flatter himself!
"Tang Si, do you know what it means to be wise but appear foolish?" The emperor coughed lightly and couldn't help asking.
Tang Cheng nodded: "Great wisdom appears foolish, which means that some people with outstanding intelligence appear to be very foolish, such as myself."
"I am always honest and never tell lies."
emperor:"… "
"What do you think, Lord Tang?" After being speechless for a while, the emperor asked the Marquis of Nanyang with a smile.
Nanyang Hou replied without hesitation: "It lives up to the name!"
The emperor's face twitched: "..."
Lord Tang actually lied to me with his eyes open!
But this Tang Si does not look like a stupid and ignorant person.
Just this temperament...
Hard to say!
Eunuch Fu: “…”
The Marquis's affirmation made Tang Cheng smile with pleasure. She felt that this emperor looked majestic but was actually quite kind. He did not ask about the strengthening potion right away but instead chatted with her.
This made Tang Cheng feel quite favorable towards the emperor.
"Tang Si, are you feeling unwell?" The emperor decided to skip this unpleasant topic and asked with concern.
The little girl has walked such a long way, I wonder if the fetus in her belly is okay. This is the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, and nothing must happen to him.
The emperor, who had developed a liking for Tang Cheng, couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the queen.
Marquis Nanyang was not worried about his precious daughter at all. Anyone who had used body-strengthening potions knew its effects. Even if his precious daughter was pregnant, she would be fine as long as she took a walk around the capital.
Tang Cheng shook his head: "No, it's just a short distance, it won't tire me out, I'm not that weak."
After saying that, Tang Cheng touched his empty stomach.
"But the baby said he was hungry and wanted to eat four honey-roasted chickens."
Marquis Nanyang was very upset.
My dear daughter, have you forgotten that you are only pregnant for more than a month? How can you talk about a baby
And four honey roasted chickens...
The emperor's mouth twitched: "..."
This Tang Si is greedy and uses the baby in her belly as an excuse.
Seeing her rosy complexion and lively appearance, the baby in her belly should be fine.
The emperor felt a little relieved.
But I'll let the imperial physician take my pulse later.
He turned to Eunuch Fu and said, "Send the message down and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare four roast chickens with honey sauce."
Tang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that the best chefs in the world are in the palace. Can I have lunch with you in the palace today? I have never eaten the food prepared by the imperial chef!"
Tang Cheng looked at the emperor expectantly.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
Eunuch Fu was shocked.
This Fourth Miss Tang is going to heaven. Does she know what it means to have a meal with the Emperor
The emperor thought that Tang Si was quite courageous, but he didn't say anything in a roundabout way. He was cute and straightforward. He smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Tang Cheng was very satisfied when he received the emperor's response.
"Your Majesty, you are such a good man!"
The emperor laughed and gave an order to Eunuch Fu, who took the order and left the imperial study.
The only people left in the imperial study were the emperor, the father and daughter of the Marquis of Nanyang, and the secret guards hiding in the dark.
The emperor's eyes fell on the small jar held by Marquis Nanyang, and Tang Cheng hurriedly said when he saw it.
"Your Majesty, when will you use the strengthening potion? This strengthening potion is a good thing. After using it, you will be as vigorous as my father and Wen Huaian, and your body will be in great shape, and everything you eat will taste delicious."
Marquis Nanyang was speechless.
The emperor was already very interested in body-strengthening potions, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Tang Si's words.
"Hearing you say that, I am moved. Let's go to the side hall!"
After a while, several people turned to the side hall of the imperial study. As soon as they entered, they saw several imperial doctors waiting. Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"Doctor Chen, go and take Miss Tang's pulse!" said the emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Imperial Physician Chen is a skilled doctor and the emperor's most trusted confidant.
Tang Cheng didn't care about taking the pulse.
After feeling Tang Cheng's pulse, Doctor Chen said, "Ms. Tang's body and the baby in her belly are both very healthy."
The emperor was finally relieved.
"I heard that Fourth Miss Tang has used body-strengthening medicine!" Doctor Chen used an affirmative sentence.
Tang Cheng nodded: "That's right!"
Doctor Chen was very excited.
"I wonder how Fourth Miss Tang made the body-strengthening potion?"
Nanyang Hou frowned.
Tang Cheng spread his hands innocently: "Everyone knows it, right? No one of you has been able to refine it? I succeeded in refining it the first time!"
These words made the other imperial doctors present blush.
Doctor Chen was stunned.
"Can Miss Tang Si practice again in the palace?"
"Of course. I've brought the last of my strengthening potions into the palace. They will be gone after the emperor uses them. I'll make more even if you don't tell me."
Tang Cheng agreed readily, with a look of confidence on his face.
Doctor Chen was delighted, and the other doctors also smiled.
Nanyang Hou looked calm.
This time, the crisis of the strengthening potion can be completely eliminated.
Next, the imperial physician checked the body-strengthening medicine. After confirming that there was no problem, the emperor could not wait to ask the eunuch to prepare the bathtub.
While the emperor was taking a strengthening potion in the side hall, Tang Cheng very consciously placed a table and chairs not far from the entrance of the imperial study and sat down to eat honey-roasted chicken.
Not only did she eat by herself, she also invited her father to join her.
"Dad, four roast chickens, two for each of us!"
Nanyang Hou was actually hungry, and he became even hungrier when he smelled the aroma of roasted chicken.
So the father and daughter happily ate the roast chicken together.
When Eunuch Fu came out from the side hall and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched and he turned around and went back to the side hall.
After eating the roast chicken, Tang Cheng asked for a chaise longue, and lay comfortably on it to bask in the warm spring sun. He also asked two palace maids to give him a leg massage.
Marquis Nanyang drank tea silently, with the corners of his mouth raised all the time.
The precious daughter has caught the emperor's eye.
Tang Cheng's leisurely attitude made Eunuch Fu and others frown.
No one else except Tang Si is so fearless as to sleep outside the imperial study.
But some people still say with confidence that pregnant women need enough sleep.
Even the emperor indulged them and asked them to meet Tang Si's demands. What else could they say? They could only secretly label Tang Cheng as someone who should not be provoked.
The story of Marquis Nanyang and his daughter going to the palace to meet the emperor has always been a focus of attention.
The news that the emperor allowed Tang Cheng to eat roast chicken and take a nap in front of the imperial study spread quickly in the palace.
When the Queen Mother heard the news, her face turned pale and she headed towards the imperial study with a group of palace maids and nannies.
