The emperor raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised at Tang Si's audacity. He looked at Tang Cheng with interest.
"Okay, Tang Si, what reward do you want? You don't want me to grant you a marriage with the Fourth Prince, do you?"
The emperor knew that Tang Si had been obsessed with the Fourth Prince, and for some reason, he somehow managed to drag the Fourth Prince out.
Everyone's mouth twitched.
In his heart, he silently sympathized with the Fourth Prince who had been tricked by the Emperor. If Fourth Miss Tang really agreed, the Emperor would not really marry her to the Fourth Prince, right
Nanyang Hou’s heart tightened.
Even if the emperor was just joking, he didn't want his precious daughter to have anything to do with the Fourth Prince anymore.
When Tang Cheng heard the emperor's words, the handsome face of the Fourth Prince appeared in his mind. Thinking of the woman in his backyard, he shook his head silently.
The Fourth Prince is not her type.
Wen Huaian's clean backyard is more to her liking.
Unfortunately, there was a wife of the Duke of Zhenguo who disliked her, so Tang Cheng decided to ask her father, the Marquis, to collect information on young talents for her.
The emperor is really something. It is obvious that this so-called arranged marriage is a joke, but he actually makes fun of her.
She is not the original owner.
Tang Cheng was speechless.
"Your Majesty, when I get married, I must wear a bright red wedding dress and ride in a sedan chair carried by eight people to make a grand wedding."
"After the marriage, the other party must clear the backyard, not allow concubines, not allow maids, in short, not allow other women."
"If the Fourth Prince can do this, the Emperor should grant me and the Fourth Prince a marriage!"
emperor:"… "
Eunuch Fu: “…”
Imperial doctors: “…”
Has Fourth Miss Tang forgotten that she has lost her virginity and that she is pregnant with the Duke of Zhenguo's grandson? She has the audacity to make all kinds of demands.
It is indeed something that Fourth Miss Tang would do.
Given the reputation of the Fourth Miss Tang and the scandal of getting pregnant before marriage and having her engagement broken off, unless she marries into a poor family and is under the patronage of the Marquis of Nanyang, it would be a pipe dream to expect to marry in a sedan chair carried by eight men and not allow the man to have other women.
Not to mention marrying the Fourth Prince as his principal wife.
Marquis Nanyang, however, looked on in agreement.
His baby girl deserved the best.
The emperor was speechless for a while, then he coughed lightly and said with a look of regret: "The Fourth Prince will definitely not be able to do what you ask, and I will not ask the Fourth Prince to dismiss the women in the backyard. Just pretend that I never mentioned this marriage."
"Tang Si, have you decided what reward you want?"
The emperor was very curious about the reward Tang Si asked for.
Tang Cheng had long anticipated that the emperor would not agree, so she told him the reward she had thought of long ago.
"I have thought it over, Your Majesty. I am not greedy. I just want the privilege of not having to kneel. I want no one to make me kneel, including the Queen Mother."
What she disliked most was kneeling.
Now that he had this opportunity, Tang Cheng would of course seize it without hesitation.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, stunned by the reward Tang Cheng asked for.
Marquis Nanyang was also shocked.
The emperor was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that this was the reward Tang Si asked for, and he didn't react for a moment.
He thought she would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
I didn't expect it was a privilege.
The emperor smiled secretly.
Eunuch Fu: “…”
"Your Majesty, I just want the privilege of not having to kneel. It's just a matter of a word for you, and there's no loss."
Tang Cheng was puzzled when he saw the emperor's look of astonishment.
Yes, it was indeed just a matter of words, as small as a grain of sand compared to the huge benefits he gained.
The emperor, who had already completely controlled the court and the harem, pondered for a moment and smiled at Tang Cheng.
"It's really just a matter of words, Tang Si, I agree to your request."
Everyone was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Did the emperor really agree
Apart from the imperial physician and the Marquis of Nanyang, there were no other ministers here, so no one stood up to oppose.
The Marquis of Nanyang, who dotes on his daughter, would not object.
Tang Cheng achieved his purpose of entering the palace and was in a good mood. He had a better impression of the palace that always required people to kneel.
The potion refining ended in a whimper.
Tang Cheng felt quite regretful, but when he thought of the Jingyang Palace which was still shrouded in stench, this regret disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a guilty conscience.
She really didn't mean to make the smelly potion.
It was all an accident.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't give her another chance to show her talents.
On the way back, Tang Cheng took a carriage directly out of the palace.
When the Queen Mother of Kunning Palace heard the news, her eyes darkened.
In the carriage.
"Dad, will the news of the abortion be released tomorrow?" Tang Cheng asked.
Nanyang Hou smiled.
"No, I will release you today. When you return home, you can pretend to be unwell and I will call a few doctors to come to your house."
"I'm in such good health, the doctor will definitely see it when he comes to my house." Tang Cheng was puzzled. He didn't understand why his father, the Marquis, would go to such unnecessary trouble. He could have just sent someone to the pharmacy to buy an abortion pill.
By then, the whole capital will know that she had an abortion, and the Duke of Zhenguo will also vent his anger on his wife.
Marquis Nanyang narrowed his eyes.
"We just invited a few doctors to come to the mansion for show. They are checking the pulse of someone else. As for whether there will be messy rumors outside, Dad can't guarantee it."
"If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion comes to verify, you don't have to see them."
No matter how much the Marquis of Nanyang thinks highly of Wen Huaian, he will not let go of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo who had humiliated his precious daughter.
As for the queen, the Duke of Zhenguo would not deal with her in anger.
He won't get involved.
Tang Cheng: “…”
The Marquis' father is even more troublesome than her.
Forget it, she should just cooperate with her father the Marquis and put on a big show.
She has lost her reputation long ago, no matter how fierce the rumors are, they can do nothing to her.
When Marquis Nanyang and Tang Cheng returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the Emperor's edict and rewards came down.
Especially the dragon whip bestowed by the emperor.
Who will dare to mess with Fourth Miss Tang in the future
The real strengthening potion is also known to everyone.
It turns out that the strengthening potion made by Fourth Miss Tang is not just a trick.
Unfortunately, this potion was made by Miss Tang Si relying on luck, and when she refined it again, it turned into a stinking potion.
It's gone now, and may never appear again.
Everyone beat their feet and stamped their chests.
That’s right, the emperor not only did not conceal what happened in Jingyang Palace, but also had people spread it secretly.
Tang Cheng once again became a hot topic in Beijing's gossip, and countless people envied and envied her.
What a lucky guy!
People who have some connection with Tang Cheng had different reactions.
No need to kneel down!
The Emperor actually granted Tang Cheng, that brainless idiot, the privilege of not having to kneel, and also bestowed him with an imperial dragon whip, which excited Liu Jintong to the point of making her eyes red.
He was originally arrogant and brainless, and now with the emperor as his powerful backer, wouldn't he be able to walk around the capital with his head held high
Liu Jintong didn't expect that when she stopped that idiot Tang Cheng from entering the Fourth Prince's backyard for revenge, that idiot Tang Cheng caught the Emperor's eye, and it would be extremely difficult for him to take action against Tang Cheng in the future.
Liu Jintong felt both resentful and unwilling, but had to restrain himself temporarily. He was even more determined to obtain the Fourth Prince who ascended the throne in the previous life.
She changed into men's clothes and quietly left the Jian'an Earl's Mansion.
Nanyang Marquis Mansion
After being shocked, Zhang remained calm as always, but Tang Xin was the only one who couldn't believe it.
Isn't it said that the current emperor is wise and powerful? Doesn't he know what kind of person Tang Cheng is
No need to kneel down!
The imperial dragon whip!
Tang Xin, who came from modern society, was so jealous that her eyes were about to bleed.
How could Tang Cheng deserve the privilege granted by the emperor? Was it just because she was lucky enough to develop a body-strengthening potion
If she could find high-yield crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes to solve the food problem...
Tang Xin's eyes were dark and unclear.
With this thought in mind, as soon as she returned to her own yard, she immediately called Jinshu to ask her if she had seen the two things she described.
Jinshu felt strange, but nodded respectfully: "I have seen you."
Tang Xin was overjoyed.
"Where have you seen me before?"
Jinshu was surprised: "Miss, don't you know that every household of the common people grows sweet potatoes and potatoes? We also grow a lot of them in our mansion's farm, and we also have delicious corn."
a bolt from the blue!
It turns out that this dynasty already had high-yield crops.
Tang Xin felt unwell.
She has been wearing this for more than half a month and has perfectly avoided sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.
She tried hard to look through the original owner's memory and finally found the reason in the horn bump.
The original owner actually didn't like these three kinds of food.
Tang Xin: “…”
The path of high-yield crops is not feasible. Does she have to invent cement glass? She can't do it.
The road is blocked.
Tang Xin was very depressed and no longer coveted the so-called privileges. She decided to marry the Fourth Prince as originally planned.
As the legitimate daughter of a marquis and a third-rank official, she is more qualified to be the fourth prince's principal wife than the reborn heroine.
After all, the reborn heroine is only the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Jian'an, and the Earl of Jian'an is mediocre and incompetent, so he can only hold an official position of the fifth rank.
The protagonist, the seventh prince, lost his mother early and was suppressed by other princes and their mothers. He is good at forbearance and not showing off his edge, so it is destined that his wife will not have a high status.
Tang Xin was full of confidence.
She is no longer opposed to attending the birthday banquet of the old princess of Cheng Palace.
Word of her skill in growing flowers had slowly spread.
It's a pity that the tricolor peony was given to Tang Cheng.
Tang Xin felt very regretful.
Tang Cheng, who was in the limelight and feeling proud, had no idea about Tang Xin's plot to kill the baby in her womb. Now she had to cooperate with her father, the Marquis, to act out a scene of abortion.
The fact that several doctors from famous pharmacies in the capital were secretly invited into the Nanyang Marquis's mansion was discovered by people who were paying attention to the Nanyang Marquis's mansion.
These people were excited.
After the old doctors were quietly sent out of the mansion one by one, someone quietly followed them to inquire.
There were doctors who kept their mouths shut and of course there were doctors with bad conduct. Soon those people found out that the place they went to was the Peony Garden of the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion to check the pulse of Fourth Miss Tang. They learned that the baby in her belly was gone. Such explosive news made these people very excited. They quickly spread the good news and it soon spread throughout the capital.
When the Marquis of Nanyang saw that the news had been leaked, he secretly sent people to muddy the waters and lead the rumors to involve the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
What the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said on the day she broke off the engagement spread like wildfire, and coupled with her self-contradictory behavior today, people had a very bad impression of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. At the same time, many people also thanked her for helping Prince Wen escape from the fire.
After adding fuel to the fire, the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion came out to refute the rumor, but no one was willing to believe that it was fake news. Many people secretly gloated over it, as without the flesh and blood of Prince Wen, the fourth Miss Tang would no longer have any connection or relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion.
Celebrate together.
Prince Wen is in better health now, and even though he still has difficulty having children, he is even more popular among the noble ladies.
As for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, after Tang Cheng and Marquis Nanyang returned home, she originally wanted to ask the official media to come to her house again to complete the task assigned by the Duke. However, Tang Si suddenly revealed that she had an abortion. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was overjoyed and immediately returned home.
This time it was Tang Si's own fault that she had an abortion, so it had nothing to do with her. However, the Duke would definitely be furious, and she would not be in any good situation.
Now that things have come to this, we can only put all the blame on Tang Si.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo thought of the Fourth Prince and immediately had a plan in her mind. She called her trusted nanny and whispered a few words to her. After the nanny left, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo smiled coldly.
Tang Si has lost his child, so he can forget about setting foot in the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion!
With the involvement of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, the rumors became more and more intense, and the Fourth Prince was also involved.
The story that after Tang Cheng was broken off by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, she fell in love with the Fourth Prince again. Relying on the fact that she had caught the emperor's eye, she shamelessly wanted to marry the Fourth Prince and aborted Prince Wen's child. The story was so convincing that most people believed it.
Who made Tang Cheng's entanglement with the Fourth Prince gain popularity among the people
This made Liu Jintong and Tang Xin very angry.
When the rumors were spreading, the servants in the Nanyang Marquis's mansion were severely beaten by the Nanyang Marquis's wife and were trembling with fear. They dared not say a word and could only whisper in private.
After watching the big show arranged by his father, the Marquis, Tang Cheng slept for an afternoon without a care in the world. When he woke up, he heard the four maids tell several versions of the rumors outside, and also heard that Master Wen was refused to see him when he came to visit.
Tang Cheng listened with great interest.
I didn't expect so many things to happen while she was sleeping.
"Miss, the rumors outside are getting more and more outrageous, and they all involve you and the Fourth Prince. No one will believe you even if you clarify." Zhenzhu was worried.
"Yes, then there will be no possibility for you and Prince Wen." Shanhu agreed.
Tang Cheng didn't care much.
"What's the point of clarifying? Those who don't believe it will still not believe it. Why waste energy?"
"Even though Prince Wen is gone, there are still thousands and thousands of young talents like Prince Wen."
"I am very popular with your lady."
The four maids: "..."
The lady is so confident!
They were all speechless.
"Miss, with your current reputation and the privilege of not having to kneel granted by the emperor, you will most likely not be able to get married." Zhenzhu couldn't help but hit Tang Cheng, who was full of confidence.
Tang Cheng raised his chin slightly.
"I have the legendary physique that is easy to get pregnant. How could I not be able to get married?"
In the empire, she is very popular.
The four maids' mouths twitched.
I'm afraid the lady is suffering from delusional disorder. There is no such thing as a fertile physique in the world.
Seeing that the four maids remained silent, Tang Cheng thought that they were shocked by her fertility and felt quite happy.
"By the way, Pearl, are there still rumors out there that I made a stink potion?"
Tang Cheng was filled with resentment when she talked about the stinky potion. The emperor was too unsympathetic to the weak. He didn't even hide the fact that she turned the body-strengthening potion into a stinky potion from anyone. As a result, people would think of her whenever they talked about the stinky potion. Isn't it more attractive to leave a suspense
She thought she should let her father, the Marquis, convey her suggestions to the Emperor.
Pearl shook her head.
"No, everyone is making up some things that you and the Fourth Prince had to say!"
Tang Cheng was very happy.
"Very good!"
The four maids: "..."
