Dressed as the villain's stepmother

No one cared about what the emperor said before, but what he said now caused everyone to be in an uproar.

Many ministers who were absent-minded looked up at Jiang Lianzhu, as if they wanted to see who she really was.

Jiang Lianzhu could feel the burning eyes falling on her, she pursed her lips slightly, and replied in a decent manner: "Your Majesty is so kind to you. The third prince's illness was barely cured with the advice of Dr. Xie. If it hadn't been for Xie, I am absolutely helpless with the help of the imperial physician."

"In this way, it seems that the old men in his hospital are still of some use. I still think that they delayed it for a whole day and did not give a treatment method. Maybe they are old and can no longer hold such a position. "

The emperor said with a smile and did not delve further into this topic.

Those present knew very well that the emperor had just wanted to abolish the imperial doctor. If Jiang Lianzhu's current words did not put all the credit on the imperial hospital, I am afraid that this intention was not just for the imperial doctor. Thoughts.

"However, whether it is treating the plague or working with Doctor Xie to save the third prince, what Miss Jiang has done is remarkable. I have something to reward you!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch standing beside him began to read out a gift list written in his hand.

Everything he reported was a treasure in the treasury, and the ladies present were speechless.

Jiang Lianzhu really had a good fortune this time. Not only did she win the favor of the emperor, but she also received so many rewards. Who in the capital would dare to neglect her in the future.

After the eunuch finished reading the gift list in his hand, Jiang Lianzhu responded with a word of thanks and bowed to the emperor before sitting down again.

Immediately, the emperor set his sights on Liao Yunchuan.

"The road to suppress bandits this time is dangerous. Xu Aiqing's leadership is certainly good, but in my opinion, Liao Aiqing has also tried his best this time. I have long heard that you seem to be interested in getting married to the prime minister's daughter. That's it. , I might as well give you this marriage certificate to fulfill your wish."

Hearing this, Liao Yunchuan frowned slightly.

The prime minister only mentioned it to himself once during a private banquet, and how did this matter reach the emperor's ears.

When Liao Yunchuan stood up slowly, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the Prime Minister's successful look from the corner of his eye, and knew in his heart that this matter must be his fault.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I think this matter is not appropriate. I am probably not related to the prime minister's daughter." He said slowly, refusing very simply.

The ministers present widened their eyes. Unexpectedly, Liao Yunchuan refused.

King Xiang was not present at this banquet, so what if he agreed? At most, it was for the sake of his own career that he would kill first and then show off.

The emperor was also surprised and asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Liao Yunchuan replied: "I have no friendship with Miss Xiao, and I have already been engaged to someone else. If I break the contract rashly now, I am afraid it will be inappropriate and I will easily become the laughing stock of others."

After hearing what he said, everyone present immediately gasped.

How come the Governor of the Six Gates, who is notoriously not a womanizer in the capital, has a marriage partner for no reason?

If what he said was an excuse, it would be too funny.

After Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she also raised her eyebrows. She had known Liao Yunchuan for some time, but she had never seen him interact with other women.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down: "It turns out that Liao Aiqing is already engaged, so I still have some suspicions of messing up the relationship."

Liao Yunchuan said he didn't dare and sat down again in response to the emperor's words.

The emperor said a few more words. A young eunuch hurried in from outside and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's eyes widened, with unconcealable joy on his face, and he left the hall with the little eunuch without saying a word.

After the emperor left, the slightly tense atmosphere in the hall relaxed significantly.

Xu Ruhao raised his hand and pinched his shoulders, and complained to Jiang Lianzhu: "I was still thinking whether His Majesty would also reward me this time, but unexpectedly, he only awarded you and Liao Yunchuan, and everything he did to me was brushed aside."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Lianzhu had time to respond, he heard a sneer coming from the side, "Xu Ruhao, don't be too greedy. Didn't His Majesty already reward you during the morning court?"

"I...I just complain and complain casually. Why are you being so serious with me?"

Xu Ruhao rolled his eyes helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to this colleague who loved to undermine him every day.

"By the way, does Miss Jiang know who Mr. Liao is engaged to be engaged to? Speaking of which, I am very curious. When I went to his mansion last time, I couldn't even see a maid, but now he suddenly said that he has an engagement. "Isn't this obviously meant to coax people?" He asked curiously, lowering his voice specifically to avoid being heard by Liao Yunchuan himself.

"He and I are just ordinary friends. This is really the first time I've heard about this engagement." Jiang Lianzhu also shook his head.

"Really?" Xu Ruhao squinted his eyes, slightly disbelieving.

Nearly half of the people present had left in just a moment. Jiang Lianzhu didn't intend to stay here any longer, so she got up and walked to Aunt Xu.

Several women were gathering around Aunt Xu. When they saw Jiang Lianzhu, their eyes seemed to light up.

"I heard that Miss Jiang is also good at making incense. Those fragrant pills I sent to Yucai before are very useful."

One of the women spoke first, and the Yucai she mentioned was Aunt Xu's maiden name.

"I'm just a little knowledgeable. If compared with the incense masters in the capital, it's really far behind." Jiang Lianzhu said modestly.

She had only been in the capital for a few days, but her sharp edge was indeed too revealing. If she continued like this, she would inevitably be attacked by others, so it was better to restrain herself a little at this time.

"Hey, if Miss Jiang has time, can she help us sisters make some fragrant pills? As for the money, we will never treat the girl badly." The woman asked again.

Jiang Lianzhu thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid I don't have time these days. If you want to buy fragrant pills, you can wait until my shop opens. Then you will have all kinds of them."
