As soon as this thought came to Tang Cheng's mind, he looked at Mei Yun, the Queen's trusted maidservant who had come to deliver the reward, and Li Ma, the Queen Mother's maidservant, as well as the people they brought with them.
"Madam Wen, the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Queen have been delivered. I will return to the palace to report first."
Mei Yun bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Tang Cheng looked at them with a smile: "You don't have to rush to report. I think you should know that I prefer silver. I have exchanged the emperor's rewards for silver, so I decided to auction the rewards of the Empress Dowager and the Queen."
When these words came out, everyone present was stunned and almost dropped their eyes out of their wits.
Auction Rewards…
The young lady really dares to think so.
No, the young lady not only dared to think but also to do it, and she did it openly.
Mei Yun and Nanny Li felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
As the confidants of the Queen and the Queen Mother, how could they not know that these silks and precious medicinal herbs were soaked in colorless and odorless secret medicine.
"Madam Wen, do you know that publicly auctioning off the rewards of the Empress Dowager and the Empress is a disrespect for the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and trampling on the sincerity of the Empress Dowager and the Empress? I wonder if Madam Wen is worthy of such a crime?"
There was a hint of threat in Nanny Li's tone.
Tang Ping's eyes darkened.
Pearl and Coral couldn't help but frown, a hint of worry flashing across their eyes.
Tang Cheng looked calm and composed.
"Madame Li, you are exaggerating. The Queen Mother and the Empress gave me rewards because I protected them. Since they gave me rewards, can't I do whatever I want?"
"Besides, the things that the Empress Dowager and the Empress have given as rewards are either silks and satins or precious medicinal herbs. I think it's okay to auction them off. Of course, you still need to report this to the Empress Dowager and the Empress. I believe that the Empress Dowager and the Empress will not blame me."
After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he reached out and stroked his bulging belly with a bright smile.
But such a bright and brilliant smile made Mei Yun and Li Ma Ma feel a chill down their spines, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
It is said that Miss Tang Si's brain is different from that of ordinary people. This is simply bizarre, okay? Who would have thought of auctioning off the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Queen.
Only Miss Tang Si, who has a mental problem, would do this.
Nanny Li's words just now may have made Miss Tang give up the idea of auctioning the reward.
But the opposite happened.
Mei Yun and Nanny Li were anxious but helpless.
"Auctions have their own rules. I heard that all items being auctioned need to be carefully inspected, so I decided to invite the most authoritative and convincing imperial physician to come and inspect them. Of course, this is just a process to reassure the auctioneers, and it can also prevent someone from framing the Queen Mother and the Empress."
"Miss Mei and Madam Li, please stay here as witnesses."
Tang Cheng said this with a smile, but his tone was overbearing and unquestionable.
"Butler Tang, quickly send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite the doctors to come, and by the way, spread this good news to warm up the situation."
Tang Cheng is not stupid. Silks, satins and medicinal herbs are the easiest to tamper with. If she wants to auction them, she not only needs the celebrity effect but also has to ensure that the auction items are safe and harmless.
I hope the Queen Mother and the Queen didn't do anything, otherwise...
Tang Cheng's lips curled slightly.
"Yes, Madam."
Tang Ping took a deep look at the young lady, then looked at Mei Yun and Li Ma who were trying to remain calm but could not hide their fear. He sneered in his heart, thinking that there seemed to be something wrong with these rewards. He immediately sent people to invite the imperial physician and spread the news with great fanfare, and at the same time forcibly detained the visitor from the palace.
Mei Yun and Li Ma's heads buzzed and their faces turned pale. It was over, it was over...
They could only hope that the Empress Dowager and the Queen would quickly come up with a countermeasure after hearing the news.
Tang Cheng admired the way Mei Yun and Li Ma pretended to be calm, and asked people to bring tables and chairs to the tree and put fruits and snacks on them. Tang Cheng ate sweet grapes while waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.
This leisurely and comfortable look was very irritating to Mei Yun and Nanny Li.
The corners of Tang Ping's mouth twitched.
After the matter reached the ears of the Duke's wife, she just kept applying medicine on her face, and Tang Si let her die.
The Duke's wife did not show up, the Duke of Zhenguo and Wen Huaian were not in the mansion, and Tang Cheng was the boss of the entire Duke's Mansion.
While waiting for the imperial physician to arrive, news spread that Fourth Miss Tang was planning to auction off the rewards given by the Empress Dowager and the Queen in a big way.
It caused a sensation in the whole capital.
Miss Tang was thrown into a hornet's nest yesterday, and today she got into trouble again.
The show is so wonderful that it is dazzling.
"Oh my god, did I hear it right? Miss Tang Si was so bold as to auction off the rewards from the Queen Mother and the Empress. Is this fake?"
"Really? The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has already released the news."
"Haha, Fourth Miss Tang is asking for trouble again. Every time I hear Fourth Miss Tang is causing trouble, I get really excited."
"Why are you so excited? Fourth Miss Tang is really not afraid of death. She even dares to auction off the rewards from the Queen Mother and the Empress! I heard that these rewards are precious medicinal herbs and silks and satins from the palace. Fourth Miss Tang is really willing to spend them."
"Why would you be reluctant to give it up? Miss Tang Si doesn't lack these things, she just lacks silver. Didn't you hear that the reward Tang Cheng asked for from the emperor was silver?"
"Haha, when you mention money, I think of the weird thing about Miss Tang Si hosting a blind date party and collecting money for visiting!"
"I didn't expect Fourth Miss Tang to be such a money-grubber!"
"Do you think the Queen Mother and the Empress will punish Fourth Miss Tang?"
"It's very likely that she won't. Everyone knows that Miss Tang Si was thrown into a hornet's nest in the palace yesterday. The matter has not been resolved yet!"
"Speaking of throwing away the hornet's nest, don't you think Miss Tang Si is very lucky? The hornet stung the Queen Mother and the Empress but not her."
"This is too weird. Could it be that Fourth Miss Tang is possessed by a demon?"
"How can you talk like that? What's so weird about that? Don't let the ancestors of the Wen family bless me. Don't forget that the fourth Miss Tang is now the treasure of the Wen family. The lineage of the Zhenguo Duke depends on the child in her belly to continue the incense."
"That's it, that's it!"
"Why do you keep calling her Fourth Miss Tang? She is now the wife of Prince Wen!"
"Haha, I'm used to it. Some people may not know Young Madam Wen, but everyone knows Fourth Miss Tang."
"… "
"Big news, big news. Miss Tang has detained people in the palace as witnesses, and has also sent people to ask the imperial physician to check the reward items and medicinal materials."
"No way, Miss Tang Fourth is so bold that she dares to slap the Queen Mother and the Empress in the face like this!"
"Tsk, Miss Tang said that the purpose of asking the imperial physician to examine her was to prevent someone with ulterior motives from using this opportunity to frame and slander the empress dowager and the queen!"
"Miss Tang Si is really thoughtful."
"Isn't it?"
"… "
After hearing the rumor that was spreading all over the capital, the servants of Duke Cheng'en's mansion hurried back to report.
Royal Palace
As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study from the morning court, Eunuch Fu reported to the emperor the news that Tang Cheng was going to auction off the items as rewards.
"puff!"
The emperor spat out a mouthful of tea, his eyes full of shock.
"Eunuch Fu, you said Tang Si wanted to auction off the rewards from the Queen Mother and the Empress?"
Eunuch Fu wiped his cold sweat. He was frightened when he heard the news.
Fourth Miss Tang is extremely bold.
"Yes, the Zhenguo Mansion has already spread the news. Not only that, Fourth Miss Tang also sent people to the Imperial Hospital with great fanfare to ask the imperial physician to examine the rewarded items and medicinal materials."
emperor:"… "
"Tang Si is quite smart. He should let the imperial physician check it out to avoid implicating innocent people."
"Eunuch Fu, send someone to tell the Queen Mother and the Empress that Tang Si is young and ignorant, and does things without thinking. Tell the Queen Mother and the Empress not to bother with Tang Si and let her do whatever she wants."
Knowing that Tang Si likes silver, he still rewards him with silk, satin and precious medicinal herbs...
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Eunuch Fu: "…I obey your order!"
The Emperor still dotes on and protects Fourth Miss Tang as always, and lets her do whatever she wants. Isn't this tacit approval for Fourth Miss Tang to auction off the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Queen
Eunuch Fu was secretly surprised. For some reason, he always felt that the emperor's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
He quickly sent a young eunuch to Kunning Palace to deliver the message.
After the eunuch left, the atmosphere in Kunning Palace was gloomy and depressing. Neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress had expected that Tang Si would be so bold as to auction off the rewards they had given him and even invite the imperial physician to check...
The emperor even acquiesced!
This is not good.
“Aunt, what should we do? What if the imperial physician finds out something…” The usually calm and composed queen panicked.
The Queen Mother had a red and swollen face and an unpredictable expression. What else could she do? The most urgent thing was to stop the imperial physician from going to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Soon, news spread from Kunning Palace that the Empress Dowager had fainted, and the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree to summon all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Kunning Palace to see the Empress Dowager.
When Tang Cheng learned the bad news, his first reaction was that it was such a coincidence that the Queen Mother fainted.
This indirectly proves that there is something wrong with this reward!
Tang Cheng was very angry.
