Tang Zhuyun followed Prince of Jin into the palace and successfully reunited with Nanxing and Ren Yingying.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Zhuyun couldn't help but pinch Ren Yingying. "Why are you wearing smoky makeup!"
Is this guy even capable?!
To travel through time and try to be different is to be brainless.
Especially them, they are clearly not the type to engage in palace intrigue; they are simply asking for trouble.
Ren Yingying huffed, "What smoky eye makeup? I was just touching up my makeup in front of a small mirror in the carriage, and that Dog Meat made a scene..."
This is already the best she can do to salvage the situation.
Thinking of this, Ren Yingying wanted to take another bite of the Dog Meat!
Tang Zhuyun: "You even brought Dog Meat?"
"I didn't bring it into the palace, but it insisted on coming along," Ren Yingying said. "It's staying in the carriage now."
For some reason, Tang Zhuyun felt uneasy when she thought of Dog Meat's serious demeanor.
Did you tell the driver to keep an eye on him?
"I told it that if it dares to run away, I'll make it into a Dog Meat hot pot when I get back! I'm serious this time!"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
"Don't worry, Dog Meat can understand me. Wasn't he raised by me before?" Ren Yingying said casually, clearly not taking the matter to heart.
"Hey, Tangbao," she nudged Tang Zhuyun with her elbow, "Is my makeup really that exaggerated?"
Tang Zhuyun: "No exaggeration, it looks good."
You are the most beautiful.
Why is she so heartless? It's because she has people like this around her who hold her back.
"Go back to your seat," Tang Zhuyun said softly.
As the Consort of the Prince of Jin, her position should definitely be higher.
Ren Yingying said, "No rush, the Emperor hasn't arrived yet! Tell me, with all these heads, who is who?"
Tang Zhuyun lowered her voice and said, "Villains die from talking too much. You'd better go back and sit down. They're all big shots you can't afford to offend!"
Ren Yingying remarked that she was, after all, a prince's consort!
However, it was really useless.
She went back and sat down with Nanxing, looking around and asking her questions.
Pei Shen: Where did this idiot come from!
Nanxing was surprisingly patient with her, and answered her silly questions seriously, such as "Why does the Crown Prince bring two women with him?"
The Crown Prince brought his wife and Zong Xueci with him today.
It seems Zong Xueci has regained favor?
But why is Zong Xueci getting so close to Tang Zhuyun?
Nanxing: "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft."
While Prince of Jin got up to speak with someone, Zong Xueci found Tang Zhuyun and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you, concerning the Prince's future..."
Tang Zhuyun held her teacup and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid of being watched from behind?"
Whether it's true or not, how stupid would Tang Zhuyun have to be to believe this person coming to find her in front of everyone?
Zong Xueci was speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, she blushed and said, "I'm truly at my wit's end."
"She had nowhere else to turn, so she was able to attend the palace banquet with the Crown Prince. Tsk tsk, the other women in the Eastern Palace must be green with envy at such a desperate situation."
What's going on with the Zong Family?
It seems like their IQs are all below average.
"Your Highness," Zong Xueci said, "You don't need to delve into the methods and excuses I used to get here and find you. I simply wanted to discuss cooperation with you, and you don't need to be so condescending..."
"Facing you, I can't help but look down on you; my status wouldn't allow it," Tang Zhuyun, putting down her teacup with a forced smile.
Zong Xueci blushed instantly.
"Your Majesty, I—" She seemed eager to explain something, her face flushed as she leaned forward.
"Stay away from me." Tang Zhuyun pushed her away. "You can't afford to hurt the heir!"
Unbeknownst to anyone, during the scuffle, a note was passed from Zong Xueci's hand to Tang Zhuyun's.
"You're pregnant?" Zong Xueci stumbled and almost fell.
To outsiders, it appeared as if the two had gotten into an argument, and many nosy people came over to point and whisper.
Tang Zhuyun sneered, "Why should I inform you that I'm pregnant?"
Zong Xueci was devastated.
At the same time, the Prince of Jin returned and said coldly, "Get out!"
Zong Xueci trembled all over, dared not linger any longer, and slunk away.
Tang Zhuyun looked at the Crown Princess opposite her.
After returning home, Zong Xueci looked timid when facing the Crown Prince and his wife.
The Crown Princess wanted to say something, but the Crown Prince stopped her.
The crown prince said unhappily, "Father is coming."
The two women then fell silent.
Zong Xueci retreated to the back and sat down quietly, feeling uneasy.
--I don't know if this choice was right or wrong.
But regardless of right or wrong, let's leave it at that.
She had endured it for too long.
