A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

In the Imperial Garden, Su Xiangling was accompanying Concubine Xian and watching the lanterns with the Emperor.

Because of the constant border warfare this year, most of the lanterns this year are for blessing. The materials used are not as extravagant as in previous years. Emperor Xuande was pleased to see this and praised Concubine Xian.

"My beloved concubine remembers the border war and knows how to be frugal. I am very pleased."

Xian Fei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't praise me. This is not my idea. I haven't thought about this yet, but the prince has already mentioned it to me."

Emperor Xuande turned his head and glanced at the Crown Prince, nodded slightly and said: "The Crown Prince is always concerned about the border defense war, which shows that he is sensible."

"This is how it should be from now on. As the crown prince, you should have the mind and vision that a crown prince should have."

Emperor Xuande spoke casually with a smile on his face, and was not as harsh and lecturing as usual.

Seeing this, Su Xiangling also boldly agreed, "Ever since the border war started, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been worried all the time, and has been unable to eat or sleep well."

When Emperor Xuande saw that Su Xiangling's belly was bulging, he thought of his unborn grandson.

Turning to Hu Lu, he said, "I remember that the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi paid tribute to us with a lot of fine bird's nests a few days ago. Take two boxes to the East Palace to nourish Concubine Su."

Su Xiangling was about to express her gratitude, but Emperor Xuande raised his hand to stop her, "You are pregnant, so there is no need to perform formalities."

Concubine Xian was also very satisfied with Su Xiangling's performance. If she wanted to become the Crown Prince's principal wife, it was especially important to be able to read people's expressions and know what to say and when.

After the last incident of the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, Concubine Xian's mind was relaxed a lot. If Su Xiangling was really born to be a phoenix, then her sitting on the position of Crown Princess would be a hundred benefits to the Crown Prince without any harm.

Su Xiangling was very proud of the reward from the emperor. She accompanied the virtuous concubine and looked around while calculating the time.

Logically speaking, the person who brought the news should have arrived.

She specifically asked Xue Tao to send someone to report after the matter was completed. There was no need to say more, just say that some strange noises were heard in Penglai Pavilion. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely send someone to check it out, and it will be clear at a glance what happened.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came to report the news, so Su Xiangling became a little anxious.

She believed in Mr. Zhou's medicine so she just thought that something had happened to Xuetao and she was stuck.

Su Xiangling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Zhixiu and said with a smile: "Sir Shen, why haven't I seen my elder sister? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her so much."

Song Wanwan, who was standing aside, felt a pang in her heart and secretly blamed herself for not following Sister Su. She hadn't seen her since she was stopped by the little palace maid. Was there anything wrong?

She wondered if she should go out quietly to look for it, but the palace was so big, where should she look?

Shen Zhixiu seemed to be not worried at all. "Thank you, Concubine Su, for your concern. She may be talking to someone nearby."

Su Xiangling still looked worried. "Why don't we send someone to look for him? The palace is big, maybe he got lost."

Her original intention was to let the people around her look for it and find Penglai Palace.

"Madam Concubine Su is worrying too much. I just talked to Mr. Zhou for a while and wasted time."

Su Xiangling was startled by the familiar voice and froze in place.

Passing by the crowd of people, I saw Su Qingyu and Mr. Zhou walking in one after another.

She even suspected that she was dazzled. She closed her eyes tightly and then opened them again. The two men had already approached her.

"Your Highness, the Concubine is so forgetful that you forgot to send someone to escort Mr. Zhou out of the palace after he had examined his pulse. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou met me, and I brought him here."

Su Xiangling broke out in a cold sweat, especially when Mr. Zhou looked at her, the terrifying look in his eyes made her terrified.

She couldn't understand what was going on. All the evidence pointed to Su Qingyu, so why didn't Mr. Zhou kill her? Looking at Mr. Zhou's expression, it seemed that he already knew the truth.

How could this be?

Everything was going as she had imagined, so how come it all changed?

Su Xiangling warned herself not to panic. This was the inner palace, and even if Mr. Zhou knew the truth, he couldn't do anything to her.

She responded to Su Qingyu's words with a smile, "I was negligent, but luckily I have my elder sister."

No matter how much Su Qingyu and Mr. Zhou hated her, she had to smile and cover it up. She couldn't lose her composure before they said anything.

The virtuous concubine didn't know what was going on. She smiled and called Su Qingyu over to talk.

Since the emperor respected Shen Zhixiu, she was naturally friendly to Su Qingyu.

Concubine Xian took Su Qingyu's hand and said to Emperor Xuande, "I still remember the song that Lord Shen and Madam played together last time."

"I am also well versed in music, but after listening to these two, I finally understand what the sound of nature is."

Su Qingyu thanked the virtuous concubine for her praise, and then said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, and I am not here empty-handed. I want to give Your Majesty a gift, and I hope Your Majesty will not despise it."

Su Qingyu bowed slightly, and her words and gestures were graceful and elegant.

Emperor Xuande was intrigued when he heard this. "The gift sent by the Loyal Marquis today is very pleasing to me. Madam Shen also wants to send a gift, so I want to see what it is."

Standing not far from Emperor Xuande, Shen Zhixiu cast his deep gaze on Su Qingyu, his eyes full of love.

When Su Qingyu appeared in front of everyone, Shen Zhixiu let out a long sigh.

Even though he had made all the arrangements in the palace, Su Qingyu would not be in any danger. But he was still worried, fearing that something might go wrong.

So at this moment, no matter what Su Qingyu said or did, Shen Zhixiu didn't care. No matter how big the problem was, he would take care of it, and she would be fine as long as she was fine.

Just like Su Qingyu said she would give Emperor Xuande a great gift, Shen Zhixiu didn't know what it was. But he was not worried at all, even if his wife gave the emperor a stone, he would praise the stone as the best in the world.

Su Qingyu brought everyone to the open space in the middle of the imperial garden, then took out a packet of medicine powder from her arms and sprinkled it on the ground.

This medicine powder was made by Mr. Zhou himself. It is more effective than Su Xiangling's and doesn't even require ventriloquism.

Soon, countless birds stood in the open space in front of the crowd and made gestures of worship.

Su Qingyu knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Hundreds of birds congratulate the Lantern Festival. May God bless the Great Zhou with good weather and peace for the country and the people."

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

Immediately afterwards, all the court officials, ladies of honor, concubines and princes knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Emperor Xuande was very pleased and laughed twice, signaling everyone to stand up.

The prince who was closest to Emperor Xuande had lost all color on his face.

Why is this scene the same as what Merlin saw in the East Palace that day?

When he stood up, he looked at Su Xiangling with a sinister look. What was going on here?

Su Xiangling's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look directly at the prince. In her heart, she scolded Su Qingyu bitterly. She did it on purpose, deliberately showing off in front of the prince. She wanted to tell the prince that the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix she made was fake.

But what Su Xiangling didn't know was that Su Qingyu's revenge had just begun.

Emperor Xuande was asking Su Qingyu at this moment.

"I accept this great gift, but what is going on with this bird?"
