For this reason, the Empress Dowager also approached Xia Di several times, but Xia Di, who has always respected the Empress Dowager, this time, uncharacteristically, defended my concubine.
He said that my concubine's pills had been tested by doctors and alchemists, and they were not poisonous. After the queen mother ordered people to check, they also found that there was nothing wrong with the pills.
Not only that, but the elixirs refined by my concubine could not be refined by other alchemists.
Emperor Xia even proposed to make my concubine a royal alchemist.
As soon as this news got out, not to mention the harem, even the court was boiling.
The imperial alchemist is equivalent to the position of an imperial doctor. The elixirs that the palace consumes every day, from concubines to queens and princes, are all made by the imperial alchemist.
If my concubine really becomes an imperial alchemist, then the safety of the harem will be in her hands.
"Longyu, this time, you have to help Aijia no matter what." The queen mother had no choice but to find Master Longyu.
In Xiadu, the most qualified to be a royal alchemist is the Dragon Language Master.
It's just that he didn't want to be bound by the red tape of the palace, so he has always been reluctant to be a court alchemist.
But this time, it was the Empress Dowager who visited Master Longyu in person.
As a Jiuding alchemist, there are not many people in Xiadu who can make Master Longyu obey his orders. Even Emperor Xia would respect Master Longyu when he saw him.
But the queen mother is an exception. I heard that the two had a relationship when they were young, but the little gossip in this is not something that Ye Lingyue can inquire about.
Master Longyu took Ye Lingyue to the palace together.
In Baifeng Palace, Ye Lingyue waited beside Master Longyu.
Only the eunuch's shrill and thin shouts could be heard.
"The emperor is here, and my concubine is here."
Emperor Xia and the newly conferred concubine walked over. She was a young woman in apricot yellow palace attire, with a handsome face and flawless complexion. She moved in lotus steps, like a picture scroll of beauties.
Black hair like a waterfall, eyebrows like willow leaves, and the corners of the eyes slightly raised, there is an indescribable coquettish charm.
From Ye Lingyue's point of view, this concubine who has recently become the favorite of the harem is younger and more beautiful than the queen and Concubine Luo, and her words and deeds are full of indescribable amorous feelings, no wonder Emperor Xia was so fascinated dizzy.
But beauty is beauty, but Ye Lingyue also felt that this young lady had an indescribably evil spirit.
My concubine is also very keen, as soon as she rolled her eyes, she noticed Ye Lingyue at the side.
Seeing that the other party is only fourteen or fifteen years old, without makeup, but she is naturally beautiful, people can't help but pay more attention to it at the first sight.
Before my concubine entered the palace as a concubine, she already knew everything about the Xia Palace and the Xiadu. This girl who is very close to the Queen Mother and Master Longyu probably made a big splash at the Zhongyuan Palace banquet in the past few months. Princess Ye is now.
"Queen Mother, I don't know why you called me and my concubine here?" Emperor Xia also knew that it must not be a good thing for the Queen Mother to invite him and my concubine here today.
It's just that I didn't expect that the queen mother even invited the dragon language master.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the royal alchemist in the court is no small matter. To be cautious, the Ai family invited Master Longyu. I believe that no one is more qualified to be the royal alchemist in the court." As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, my concubine's eyes lit up. A cold light flashed across.
"The Empress Dowager, the Master of Dragon Language, since ancient times, the alchemists used by the court have all chosen those with superb alchemy skills. The Master of Dragon Language has been famous for a long time, and naturally my concubines dare not compare with him, but my concubines dare to compete with the master. High or low, if the master can win, the concubine will be convinced." My concubine was so proud of being favored, and in front of Master Longyu and the Queen Mother, she was outspoken and wanted to challenge Master Longyu.
"Presumptuous, my concubine, don't think that if the emperor loves you, you can be rude in front of Aijia. You are just a concubine. What is the status of Master Longyu? How can you be a junior like you who can provoke me carelessly?" The queen mother was angry. Get up and reprimand my concubine.
"My queen, what Yaoyao said is not wrong. According to Daxia's palace rules, the appointment of an imperial alchemist needs to be announced for a month. If anyone is dissatisfied during this month, they can challenge it. Even if the Dragon Language Master is Jiuding Alchemists are no exception." Emperor Xia wholeheartedly defended my concubine and persuaded the queen mother to leave.
The Empress Dowager looked at Master Longyu helplessly. The latter's expression was not good, and he was obviously angry.
Master Longyu has a weird temper, if not for the presence of the queen mother, he would have left in a hurry.
Ye Lingyue, who was on the side, watched, and became even more wary of the young lady. This woman has some tricks.
As a Master of Dragon Language, if he wins a contest with a concubine, it will be said that he is relying on the old to sell the old, but if he loses, the reputation of the Master of Dragon Language will be ruined.
"Your majesty, empress dowager, and my servants are daring, why don't I take the place of my teacher and compete with my concubine." Seeing Master Longyu's dilemma, Ye Lingyue took a step forward and volunteered.
"You are Lan Aiqing's second daughter, so you are also an alchemist?" Emperor Xia had some impressions of Ye Lingyue, remembering that she was the second daughter newly recognized by Lan Yingwu, and she was very much loved by the queen mother and empress.
"My lord, Ling Yue is my apprentice. She has inherited my mantle and is now a Siding alchemist." Master Longyu was relieved to see Ye Lingyue recommending herself.
Four tripod alchemists
My concubine secretly slandered in her heart, she really overestimated her capabilities, at this level, dare to accept her challenge instead of Master Longyu
After arriving at the alchemist tower in Xiadu, Ye Lingyue's spiritual power has already broken through to the four tripods, but in Xiadu, where senior alchemists are everywhere, it is not her turn to be the alchemist of the four tripods in the selection of royal alchemists.
Although Ye Lingyue is only a Siding alchemist, Master Longyu knows her strength very well.
In the past few months in Xiadu, Ye Lingyue also helped Master Longyu fight several times. Master Longyu is still very confident in his apprentice's alchemy skills.
The blue pattern Xuanyin pill she refined even surpassed the one refined by Master Longyu himself.
Not to mention other things, Ye Lingyue is one of the few alchemists among the four tripod alchemists who can independently refine alchemy, and the probability of refining blue-patterned elixir is over 90%.
Not everyone has the opportunity to make alchemy this time. If Ye Lingyue is selected, she will also have a place in the alchemist association in Xiadu in the future.
"Master Longyu, have you thought it through? If you lose, the court alchemist will be..." The queen mother has a good impression of Ye Lingyue, but she is only a fourteen-year-old girl after all. Have doubts.
"My queen, since Master Longyu has already made a decision, my queen and I will personally preside over the selection of the royal alchemists for the palace. Whoever wins in the end will be the new royal alchemist of the Xia Palace." Ye Lingyue took the place of Master Longyu in the competition, and couldn't wait to agree to Master Longyu's request.
