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

Bai Guo was confused and looked at Su Zhilan.

Su Zhilan didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't suspect anything, but she was just instinctively afraid of something happening.

She knew that the emperor now believed in Taoist alchemy.

Who knows whether the thing this Taoist priest is holding is an imperial item.

If it was damaged in her hands, it would be another trouble.

The Taoist priest lowered his eyes, looking unwilling, but he could only pick up his things and leave.

Not long after, behind the rockery, the Taoist priest said to Wang Jinyao, "Miss, the fifth daughter of the Su family didn't touch my things. What should we do?"

He was still waiting for Mrs. Wang to fulfill her promise after the matter was accomplished, but he didn't expect that the reaction of the fifth lady of the Su family was quite different from what he expected.

Wang Jinyao sneered and said, "Master Zhihuai, in fact, as long as you say that she touched it, and I testify, won't this matter be settled?"

"As for the truth, there is no way to find out. Even if someone saw this, they wouldn't dare to speak out easily."

Taoist Zhi Huai suddenly realized what he said, "Miss is right."

Wang Jinyao added: "My mother asked me to tell the Taoist priest that since you helped the Wang family today, the Wang family will definitely return the favor. After today's matter is done, the matter you are worried about can also be done."

Taoist Zhi Huai nodded and said, "I naturally believe in the Wang family."

If the other party was not from the Wang family, the family of Shangshu Wang from the Ministry of Justice, he would never have agreed to this matter.

Later, news came from the Hall of Supreme Harmony that the palace banquet was about to begin.

Song Wanwan and Qin Yuan finished their conversation. Qin Yuan left first, while Song Wanwan and Su Zhilan walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Su Zhilan glanced at Song Wanwan and said jokingly, "You were wearing a golden crabapple pearl hairpin on your head before, why did you change it to a golden lotus hairpin now?"

Song Wanwan glared at her and said, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

Su Zhilan giggled twice, knowing that it must have been sent by the Third Young Master Qin.

Then he said, "Is it time for Fourth Sister to come back?"

"She also promised me that she would bring me red agate from overseas when she came back."

Song Wanwan recalled the battle report sent back from Fujian a while ago and said, "Ah Ci, I won't agree unless I bring you red agate. Now that merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty are shipping smoothly, you have made an indelible contribution."

Last winter, Xuanwu King Zhang Pan began to build warships with officials from the Ministry of Works. In the early spring of this year, the warships were launched and dealt a heavy blow to the pirates at sea.

Since the Qingming Festival, the Japanese pirates have invaded the coastal areas of Fujian thirteen times, were completely wiped out eight times, and fled five times.

Zhang Pan reported that he was confident that within three years, he could clear up the southeast coast and restore peace and prosperity to the people.

After hearing what Song Wanwan said, Su Zhilan also snorted, "When Fourth Sister comes back, let's go see what she brought back. If there's anything good, keep it and don't let her sell it."

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. A young palace maid led them to their respective seats.

When Su Zhilan sat down, Song Hongshen and Shen Zhixiu walked in one after another.

Although the two were talking, Song Hongshen still glanced at Su Zhilan.

Wang Jinyao had been looking at Song Hongshen since he entered the room. Seeing his clear and gentle gaze towards Su Zhilan, Wang Jinyao clenched her hands under her sleeves.

She was a little impatient, waiting for the wonderful show to start.

Soon, Emperor Xuande came to the palace with several concubines. Sitting next to him was naturally the most favored Empress Chen.

After Concubine Xian was sentenced to death at the beginning of the year, the trivial matters of the harem were handed over to Concubine Rong. After all, whether in terms of qualifications or position, Concubine Rong was the only one who could manage the harem.

But a few months ago, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth prince. On the third day after her confinement, the emperor handed over the power of the harem to Concubine Chen.

Now everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Chen has a high status, comparable to that of the Queen.

Everyone knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor, and then stood up and sat down at the signal of Emperor Xuande.

Su Zhilan raised her head and looked at the emperor curiously. She had overheard from her father that the emperor was obsessed with Taoist elixirs.

My father said that if you take that kind of medicine over and over again, it will drain you dry.

She thought that when she saw the emperor today, he must be emaciated and skinny, but she didn't expect that the emperor had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy.

Su Zhilan thought to herself, no wonder the emperor believed in these pills. She thought the emperor looked a lot younger than before.

After everyone sat down, the banquet began.

Because today is a big day for Taoism, all the banquets are vegetarian, and the wine is replaced by tea.

Shortly after the banquet started, Taoist Master Zhihuai walked in with a tray.

Su Zhilan looked up and recognized that the man who came up to the hall was the Taoist priest who had fallen in front of her before.

And that wooden bottle on the tray, isn't that the one that slipped to her feet?

She was suspicious, was it a coincidence?

After Taoist Zhi Huai came up, many court officials looked at him with disdain, believing that he was using unorthodox methods to influence the emperor.

But in such an occasion, no one dared to say anything.

Taoist Zhihuai carried the tray and walked into the main hall.

Then he took the wooden bottle in his hand and poured a pill onto the empty plate on the side.

He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the elixir."

Logically speaking, the elixir does not have to be taken at this time. Emperor Xuande did it on purpose to demonstrate to the court officials.

Ever since Taoist Zhi Huai and several alchemists entered the palace, court officials would come to the palace from time to time, asking him not to be deceived by the villains.

So he made up his mind that if anyone tried to make trouble for him again today, he would definitely punish them severely.

After Taoist Zhi Huai poured out the elixir, he raised the plate and handed it to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande took it and was about to swallow it.

Just when the medicine was about to reach his mouth, Wang Jinyao suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the pill is poisonous."

Wang Jinyao's voice came at just the right time.

The emperor had already picked up the pill and was about to put it into his mouth.

When she shouted, Emperor Xuande immediately dropped the pill in his hand and threw it onto the table.

Taoist Zhi Huai knelt on the ground immediately after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I dare not poison your Majesty's medicine."

"Your Majesty is the reincarnation of a true god. Even if I want to poison you, the gods in heaven will not forgive me."

Song Hong looked at Taoist Zhihuai with cold eyes and disdain.

This old Taoist really spent a lot of money and even invited all the gods in heaven to come out.

Everyone present knew the truth, except Emperor Xuande, who believed in his words without a doubt.

Especially the words about the reincarnation of the true god, which made Emperor Xuande not have the slightest doubt in his mind.

Denying Taoist Zhihuai is equivalent to denying the faith he has been upholding for some time.

So he believed in Taoist Zhihuai's defense.

He looked down at Wang Jinyao, "You said this medicine is poisonous? What's going on? Come forward and tell me."
