Tang Zhili had been deceived a few times by the message. Today, he had once again wrongly recognized someone in the palace and almost made a fool of himself. Now that he saw the message and He Yuan appearing at the same time, he felt both embarrassed and annoyed. The greeting bowed, but said nothing, and only glared at him. He then glanced at He Yuan from the corner of his eyes. In his fury, he was confused. In these three years, did he think of the He Yuan who had called out to his sister in his childhood, or of the congratulatory words he had seen a few times before?
Seeing that there was a small box beside him, he weighed his options and raised his head smiling: "I heard from my brother that His Highness wanted him to bring a jigsaw puzzle for me to put together, but I don't know if he brought it out this time?"
Beichang's master was known for his skill, and most of the country's ingenious facilities relied on him. Chang Xian had come up with a plan to study the Eight Trigrams Assimilation Diagram before using any of the ingenious facilities. This time, the Diagram was designed to set up a defensive barrier around the imperial palace of the Northern Cheng State. After making the jigsaw puzzle, he made Tang Zhili spell it out first. He tossed and turned for many days, but he couldn't do it. He remembered that He Yuan was good at jigsaw puzzles, so he decided to find her and see if she could spell it out. Hearing He Yuan mention this, he pointed to a small box beside him and said, "If Miss He Yuan is able to create this map within an hour, then I won't pursue the matters of the past. If I can't, then …"
"If we can't, we siblings will kowtow to His Highness and apologize." He Yuan quickly followed up. It was good to be able to draw this diagram, but if he couldn't, then he and his little brother were younger than Tang Zhi Li. Tang Zhi Li was also a prince, so it was fine to kowtow to him. Now that they were here to participate in the embroidery conference, it would be inappropriate for them to offend Tang Zhi Li due to other matters.
Hearing He Yuan's words, Jiang Hua An looked at her approvingly and said to Tang Zhi Li and Tang Zhi, "Since Your Highness and the Princess are here, why don't we eat here before returning?"
Tang Zhili waved his hand, "Tonight, I snuck out while I was going to attend a banquet at the Imperial Uncle's estate. In a while, I even went to the Imperial Uncle's mansion to attend a banquet. "At this time, we will just have to see if Miss He Yuan can create this map. If you can't, we don't need you to kowtow. As long as …" As he spoke, he looked at the congratulatory words, enunciating each word clearly, "As long as you dress as a woman and accompany me to attend the banquet at Uncle Guo's house, this matter will be completely resolved." Didn't you like disguising yourself? This time, I'll let you have your fill and bring you to a place with many people. Let's see if you dare to disguise yourself again next time?
Ah!" The message went blank for a moment and he rolled his eyes. Isn't this embarrassing? Apologizing is not enough, you still want to dress up and accompany you to the banquet at Uncle Guo's residence? There had been many people who had seen him at the banquet today. Now that he was disguised as a woman in the Imperial Uncle's estate, he naturally recognized her. Where would he put his face?
It was true that little big brother was easy to pretend before, but how could that be small? Everyone just treated it as a joke. Now that he was eleven years old, if he changed into a woman's outfit and walked out, he was afraid that he would be mocked by others in the future. He Yuan wrinkled his nose, picked up the small box and said, "Let me see if I can come up with something first." As he spoke, he picked up the box, poured out a piece of wood from a corner, and began to put it together.
Seeing the odd shapes of the pieces of wood, Shen Wishui was afraid that he wouldn't be able to put them all in one hour of congratulation. He waved his hand for them to pass and said in a low voice, "I've also received the invitation for the Imperial Uncle's Mansion to hold a banquet. It's just that I've come to the palace to attend today's banquet, so I've missed the Imperial Uncle's Mansion's banquet. If your sister really can't work it out, you can just dress up and accompany Tang Zhi to visit the Imperial Uncle's Mansion. According to the post, the time for the banquet had been dragged back and forth until it was almost over. Besides, Tang Zhili didn't dare to waste too much time outside the palace. At most, he would just go to the Imperial Uncle's Palace for a walk and then leave. He probably hadn't seen who you were yet! Besides, I and Jiang will naturally escort you there. I won't embarrass you too much. Even if your sister had pieced together the picture today, he wouldn't be able to take it lying down. We are here to escort the embroidery ladies to the North and South Embroidery Assembly, not to compete with Tang Zhi Li. If it is a matter concerning two countries, do not let the moment go to stir up other people's trouble. "
Although he didn't really want to say it, he had changed into a woman's outfit twice before to hide it from Tang Zhi Li. If it was him, he wouldn't be able to swallow his anger and could only nod.
Last time, he had to spend quite a bit of effort to put together the Seven Diagrams, but this time, the Eight Trigrams Maze Diagram was even more complicated. He Yuan Hua really couldn't spell it out in an hour.
Seeing that the time was up, she gritted her teeth and said, "Little Sister, don't trouble yourself. I'll dress up as a woman to accompany Your Highness to the banquet."
Tang Zhi was originally both embarrassed and annoyed when he saw his congratulatory speech. This caused him to be humiliated by his older brother, made him apologize and say good words, then prepare to dress himself up as a woman, causing his anger to dissipate. Looking at his men's attire, he secretly snickered: Today I'm dressing as a man, but he wants to dress up as a woman, this is all upside down!
When the congratulatory speech came out in the shape of a circle, Tang Zhili almost broke into a laugh at the sight of it. After all, the message was taller and stronger than it had been three years ago. It would have made him look strange if he had been dressed in a woman's dress and knew that he was a boy.
Tang Zhi couldn't hold back his laughter anymore when he saw his congratulatory gift, which had a double bun, red lips, embroidered shoes, and a blue dress. He covered his mouth and laughed, "Young Master He is quite pretty in female attire. No wonder you cheated my big brother back then."
Due to the fact that his clothes were round, his shoulders were slightly narrow, as if his entire body was tied up. He was unable to get rid of his gait, and now that he had stepped out with a small step and Tang Zhizhi's smile, his face had long since turned into a tomato.
After leaving the inn, Shen Wangzhi and Jiang Hua An and Tang Zhi Li naturally rode horses. Tang Zhi Zhe, who was dressed in a man's attire and a woman's attire, naturally rode a horse carriage. He was used to striding and was about to get into the carriage. He forgot that the hem of his skirt was too narrow and he staggered forward. Tang Zhiqi was dressed in simple male attire and walked quickly. Suddenly, he saw the message sway, and for a while, he held Tang Zhi's arm to steady himself.
Helpless, he got dressed in a woman's outfit. He was always a bit embarrassed, so he composed himself and thanked Tang Zhi. Tang Zhi saw his skirt was narrow and couldn't jump onto the carriage. He held on to his arm and forced him to jump onto the carriage. Hehe, today you dressed up as a man, supporting and supporting him, you finally got the advantage of being taken back by me, right?
After he sat down in the carriage, Tang Zhizhi thought of the congratulatory speech disguised as a woman and couldn't help but secretly laugh. Suddenly, he heard a congratulatory speech: "Please forgive me for what happened in the hall today!"
Even though you were the one who threw me down, I am a man who needs to be magnanimous. This apology must come from me. After getting dressed in the pretty girl's outfit, he lowered his voice and spoke, feeling that he had a broad chest.
If he were to die, he would bring up the matters of the palace. Can't you just forget about it? Tang Zhizhi was laughing in secret. When he heard the words of congratulations, he relied on the dim light of the carriage to speak, and said softly: "Did something happen in the hall today? How could I forget! " As he spoke, his small face began to heat up. Hmph, I won't admit that anything has happened. Just remember it yourself!
I was afraid you'd hold a grudge!
After seeing the congratulatory message, Shen Wansan and Tang Zhiqi helped each other into the carriage. They made eye contact with Jiang Hua An and secretly felt pleased with themselves. He glanced at Tang Zhili again. It wasn't because I wanted to scheme against your sister, but because the marriage alliance of the two nations was going to happen at the same time. It is better for your princesses to marry our southern lands of wealth than for our gentle girls to marry into the bitter cold lands of the north. Besides, the congratulatory message is compatible with your princess, so it won't be a disgrace. At this moment, they had changed their appearances, but they were all standing together in harmony. It might be a pair of good karma!
Today was Lady Zhou's birthday. The couple had entered the palace in the morning, but in the afternoon they hurriedly took their leave and returned to their own residences to greet the guests. There were a number of guests who had come to the banquet from the palace, and were rushing to the banquet of Madame Zhou. The third prince and princess were coming to attend the banquet, but they had to wait here and there. At this time, the banquet was still in sight, and there were still people anxiously waiting. A dark guard had already reported that Tang Zhi Li and Tang Zhi Qi had gone to the inn to visit Jiang Hua An and the others. Madame Zhou saw Zhou Kuangzheng frown, and asked him about it quietly, but smiled and said: "Today, I saw some people from the Nanchang Kingdom in the palace, and they are all very nice people. He heard from the empress that they were supposed to go to Nanchang to propose to the He Estate, but today, they only saw the brother of the He Estate and not the sister. He had seen that handsome brother of his. Although he was young, he still had things to say. In the future, he would definitely be able to accomplish something. Since big brother is like this, little sister shouldn't be too bad. After the embroidery event, we must think of a way to invite the He siblings to the house. As your aunt, must I also think of a way to see my future daughter-in-law!? "
Speaking of which, the wife of Zhou Kuangzheng was bestowed a marriage by Empress Zhou. Because she had a good relationship with Empress Zhou, Yu Zhi Li had discussed the marriage before. This time, when Empress Zhou intentionally arranged a round of congratulation for Tang Zhi Li, she didn't see He Yuan at all. She only saw her brother's message, and guessed that He Yuan's character and appearance was merely one of speculation, but it didn't turn out to be real, so she thought to find a way to take the Empress's place to see her future daughter-in-law.
The two of them were in the middle of a conversation when they heard someone report that Tang Zhi Li, Jiang Hua An, and a few others had arrived.
When Zhou Guanzheng saw Tang Zhi Li and the others, he smiled brightly and said, "I didn't expect that Your Highness would come along with Young General Jiang."
When Madam Zhou saw Tang Zhi taking off his men's clothes and following behind Tang Zhi Li, she ran up to him and called him aunt and uncle. She identified him and said, "How can you be so naughty and actually wear men's clothes?" As he said this, he noticed that she was dressed like a woman. He was stunned as he said, "It can't be that this isn't Miss He Yuan, but she really looks exactly like your brother." Although this dragon and phoenix embryo were from the same brother, he had never seen one that looked so similar! I only saw your brother in the palace today, and he said that it would be better if you didn't enter the palace with a headache! "Quick, come in!"
"Miss He, please!" Tang Zhi saw that Madame Zhou didn't recognize the message, so he forced a smile and said, "This step is slippery, so you better be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his embroidered shoes slant to the side and his body fall to the right. He didn't think twice before grabbing him. He didn't expect that after he was unable to get used to wearing the embroidered shoes, the embroidered shoes would be forcefully pulled by Tang Zhizhi, causing his embroidered shoes to slip to the left once again and fall onto him.
