Tang Miaoxin usually didn't look like a well-behaved person, but today, from the moment she entered the palace, she showed the etiquette that a princess should have in every aspect.
No one can fault it.
Tang Miaoxin followed the chamberlain to the door of the imperial study room.
She was lucky today. Emperor Cheng Ming did not summon anyone in the imperial study. When she arrived, Wang Dequan personally led her in.
After she entered the imperial study room, she bowed calmly.
Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at her with deep eyes.
He said softly: "I heard that you made a big splash in Mingyue Tower yesterday? You became the new talented woman in the capital?"
Tang Miaoxin replied with a smile: "My father gave me the award. How can I be considered a talented woman? I was lucky yesterday. I will definitely not get such a result if I take the exam again."
Emperor Cheng Ming rolled his eyes, she was interesting.
Her words basically admitted that she cheated in Mingyue Tower yesterday, but she didn't hide it at all.
Tang Miaoxin chuckled: "I have been very motivated and hardworking since I married my prince."
"I would never dare to discredit the royal family. Although I am not talented enough, I can only work hard to make it happen."
"I know that with my knowledge, I will never be able to live up to my reputation as a talented woman, but I will try my best."
Emperor Cheng Ming looked at her with meaningful eyes. Her temperament was a combination of Su Ling'er and that person, both skinny and smooth.
He looked at her and said, "I'm a little surprised that you are so motivated."
"It's just that some things you did went too far. Cheng Lixue is your master after all. Your behavior yesterday was a bit deceiving!"
After he finished speaking, the pressure around him was released.
Tang Miaoxin lowered her head slightly and said with some grievance: "When Tangjiangxian exposed Wanhuhou's crimes, my father praised her for righteously killing her relatives."
"I just exposed my master's tricks, and my father scolded me for deceiving my master and destroying our ancestors."
She glanced at him cautiously and said, "Is your father too partial?"
Emperor Chengming: "..."
He finally found out that she had a lot of fallacies. No matter whether there was any truth or not, she could tell the truth.
Moreover, she seemed to be disorganized in her speech, but in fact, it was impeccable. Even he would have a hard time finding fault with her.
He didn't have time to go around in circles with her.
He said directly: "Your master is very kind to you. Although what he did this time was inappropriate, it was for your own good after all."
"Your behavior yesterday hurt his heart too much. Go back to the Imperial College and apologize to him."
Tang Miaoxin asked him: "Dare you ask Father, is this an imperial edict?"
There are many things that everyone knows very well, but cannot explain.
Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at her: "Yes, together with this decree, there is also your and his master-disciple status."
"Don't act so recklessly in the future. You must respect your teacher and don't act recklessly!"
Tang Miaoxin saw that he was using the power of the emperor to suppress her. She couldn't refute openly, so she could only nod obediently: "Yes!"
When Emperor Cheng Ming saw her pretending to be well-behaved, he felt as if he had seen Su Ling'er back then, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Finally, he said quietly: "Although you are a royal wife now, you are not familiar with the palace."
"Today I give you permission to take a tour of the palace. Wang Dequan, you personally take Princess Qin around the palace."
Wang Dequan responded and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Miaoxin.
Tang Miaoxin was a little confused. Emperor Cheng Ming allowed her to visit the palace without hesitation, which was a bit unreasonable.
However, Emperor Cheng Ming obviously had no intention of answering, so she could only follow Wang Dequan out of the imperial study room with a lot of questions.
Wang Dequan had been with Emperor Chengming for many years, and today he was sent by Emperor Chengming to take Tang Miaoxin around the palace. This matter immediately spread throughout the palace.
After hearing the news, the queen was a little confused about what Emperor Cheng Ming meant. Why did he treat Tang Miaoxin so differently?
She had many guesses in her mind, but she overturned them one by one.
She thought of the last possibility, and her expression changed slightly:
Could it be that Emperor Chengming fell in love with Tang Miaoxin's beauty and wanted to make her his concubine?
Although Emperor Cheng Ming has not been too keen on women in recent years, this kind of thing happened in the previous dynasty.
There was ridicule in the queen's eyes. If Emperor Cheng Ming really fell in love with Tang Miaoxin, it would be a good thing for her.
When a father-in-law falls in love with his daughter-in-law, he will usually kill the son to hide it from others.
The Wanhu Hou Mansion has been destroyed, and Tang Miaoxin is a helpless orphan. If she really wants to enter the palace and become a concubine, she can easily kill Tang Miaoxin!
Li Fei was also guessing at the root cause of this incident. She couldn't figure it out, so she simply pretended to have met by chance and went to the imperial garden to block Tang Miaoxin.
Tang Miaoxin had met Concubine Li several times before. When they met, she bowed according to the palace rules.
Although Concubine Li is not the queen, she now holds the phoenix seal and can compete with the queen.
She smiled and said: "We are all members of our own family, Princess Qin does not need to be polite."
Although Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince, who was already past the age of Hua Xin, she looked very young because of proper maintenance.
In addition, she was originally a beauty with unparalleled beauty. She had both a dignified look and a bit of coquettish adult femininity, which was very alluring.
Tang Miaoxin sighed in her heart, this is really a fairy, no wonder she has been favored in the harem for many years and has been favored continuously.
She smiled and said, "Concubine Xie Li."
Wang Dequan was afraid that Concubine Li would cause trouble, so he bowed and said: "Go back to Concubine Li, your Majesty asked the slave to take Concubine Qin for a walk in the palace."
"It's getting late at this time, and Princess Qin still has many places to go..."
Concubine Li knew that in this palace, no matter how powerful she was now, she could not offend Wang Dequan.
She smiled and said: "I like Princess Qin very much. After Princess Qin finishes visiting the palace later, why not come to my place for lunch?"
Tang Miaoxin was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion after eating with her, so she said, "I don't dare bother Concubine Li. Your Majesty is waiting for me to have lunch together when I get back."
Concubine Li did not force her, and covered her lips with a smile: "I have heard before that King Qin and Princess Qin have a very deep relationship, and I have seen it today."
"That's all, you two are so loving to me, so why don't you interfere. I'm waiting to hear your good news."
If there is any good news for them in the future, it will be that they are pregnant and have a baby.
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said, "I would like to borrow the good words from Concubine Li."
Concubine Li stepped aside, and Wang Dequan took Tang Miaoxin and walked aside.
After Li Fei watched them go away, her eyes deepened, and she glanced at a eunuch beside her. He immediately understood and followed them.
The second prince's concubine was defeated by Tang Miaoxin. It is impossible to say how much Li Fei liked Tang Miaoxin.
It's just that the queen who made things difficult for Tang Miaoxin was taken away from the Phoenix Seal. Concubine Li is a smart person and will never push herself up.
Concubine Li has been unable to see through Emperor Cheng Ming's actions recently. For the sake of the second prince, she naturally had to be very alert and not make any mistakes.
