The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"Your Majesty, this is ginseng from Changnan Mountain. Your humble servant wishes Your Majesty a long and healthy life, and good health."

As Song Siyao's voice fell, the people present immediately let out a series of exclamations.

"So this is what ginseng from Changnan Mountain looks like. I've really broadened my horizons today. I've only heard of it before, but I've never seen it before."

"Rumor has it that as long as you can eat a ginseng from Changnan Mountain, you can live for ten years longer. With such a big ginseng, wouldn't you be able to live forever?"

"The ginseng from Changnan Mountain is priceless. Princess Youfeng is truly generous. Her gift should be the most valuable present at today's birthday banquet."

"I think it's not just the most valuable, but also the most thoughtful. Someone of the Empress Dowager's status has seen all kinds of gifts. Only ginseng from Changnan Mountain, which can prolong life and improve health, is truly the best."

……

These comments reached the Empress Dowager's ears, and a hint of emotion flickered across her face.

She looked at the ginseng in the box; it was plump and very large. She liked it just by looking at it. Such a good thing couldn't be bought with money, and it could even save lives in a critical moment. She didn't expect Song Siyao to be willing to give it to her.

"Princess Youfeng, I have heard that ginseng from Changnan Mountain is a rare find, perhaps only once in a hundred years. How did you obtain it?"

Song Siyao said, "I came across it by chance when I went to Changnan Mountain to look for medicinal herbs."

Actually, Changnan Mountain is inside the Soul-Capturing Bracelet.

She couldn't reveal the Soul-Seizing Bracelet, so she used the name of Changnan Mountain.

Of course, the ginseng inside the Soul-Capturing Bracelet is many times better than the ginseng from Changnan Mountain.

"You've put your heart into this," the Empress Dowager said calmly. After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since she wanted the gift, she couldn't show Song Siyao a cold shoulder at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I have a question I would like to ask you." Song Siyao was humble but not obsequious.

The Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow. "Ask away."

"Isn't sincerity the most important thing when giving a congratulatory gift?" Song Siyao asked.

"Of course, what I hate most in my life is those who deceive and cheat." The Empress Dowager's face instantly turned cold. "Princess Youfeng, have you discovered that someone sent me a fake gift? Tell me, and if it is true, I will not let you off lightly!"

Jiang Yu's heart raced when she heard Song Siyao ask the Empress Dowager a question, but she quickly calmed down. The matter was so secretive, how could Song Siyao know about it?

Just then, Song Siyao looked at her.

"Miss Jiang, did you compose the piece you just played?" Song Siyao's question instantly stirred up a storm.

Jiang Yu remained calm. "Of course."

"Princess Youfeng, what do you mean by asking that? Do you think the piece I just played was fake?" Princess Ping sneered and mocked, "I think it's just that you're incompetent and jealous that I can play such a beautiful piece. Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, I advise you not to cause trouble!"

Prime Minister Jiang also jumped in, "Princess Youfeng, you and my daughter did have some unpleasantness before, but those are just minor matters between young ladies. It's inappropriate for you to make a fuss about it on a occasion like today."

Others started pointing and whispering.

“Miss Jiang is talented. What’s so strange about her being able to play such a piece?”

“Princess Youfeng has gone too far. She thinks she is Ye Wenshu and dares to give Miss Jiang pointers on her music.”

"Let's watch the show. Princess Youfeng isn't the type to cause trouble for others."

……

Song Siyao looked at Jiang Yu with icy eyes. "The Empress Dowager is of noble status. You may not give her a gift, but you cannot deceive her. This is an insult to the Empress Dowager. Miss Jiang, the 'Heavenly Compassion' you just played is a plagiarism of Ye Wenshu's 'A Compassionate Mother's Heart'."

Jiang retorted sharply, "I didn't, Princess Youfeng. You say I plagiarized Master Ye's work, what evidence do you have? Did she tell you?"

As far as she knew, Ye Wenshu had never been to the capital before, and this time she had come to the capital but did not know where to stay. She had to ask for help to get in touch with Ye Wenshu, and had not even met her. How could Song Siyao know Ye Wenshu?

“Then let Ye Wenshu come,” Song Siyao said.

Jiang Yu said dismissively, "Although you are a princess, Master Ye is not someone you can just summon and expect her to come."

"That's quite unfortunate. I told her to come, and she really did." Song Siyao turned to the Empress Dowager and continued, "Your Majesty, Ye Wenshu is at the Zhenbei Marquis's residence."

"Someone, go to the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence and invite Master Ye here," the Empress Dowager ordered.

Ye Wenshu's zither skills are exceptional, and she is very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Yu felt a pang of panic and couldn't help but ask Song Siyao, "Why is Master Ye at the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence?"

Her question was answered the moment Ye Wenshu arrived.

"Disciple Ye Wenshu greets Master." Ye Wenshu, dressed in a light yellow dress, knelt on one knee in front of Song Siyao, cupped her hands in greeting, and looked at Song Siyao with utmost respect.

Song Siyao smiled faintly, helped Ye Wenshu up, and told her, "Wenshu, come, greet the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and all the ladies."

At this moment, Song Siyao acted like a patriarch, introducing her proud junior to others.

Ye Wenshu knelt down again and bowed, "This humble subject Ye Wenshu pays respects to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and all the ladies. I wish the Empress Dowager peace and safety year after year, long live the Emperor, long live the Empress, and all the ladies good health."

She was poised and graceful, neither arrogant nor humble, and her words and actions were steady, polite, and respectful, instantly winning everyone's favor.

"Please rise," the Empress Dowager said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager." Ye Wenshu stood up.

“Princess Youfeng, I heard that Master Ye is a disciple of the Qin Saint Yan Wan. Could it be that you are Yan Wan?” Princess Zhen asked curiously.

“Yes, Your Highness, Yan Wan is me,” Song Siyao said.

"You are the Ghost Doctor, the God of Painting, the Spirit of the Ouija Board, and now the Saint of the Qin and Princess Youfeng. How many identities do you have? How are you so amazing?" The Princess Consort of Zhen looked at Song Siyao with a smile in her eyes. She knew that Shen Pei's judgment must be excellent.

"Your Highness is too kind. No matter how many identities Youfeng has, Youfeng will always be Song Siyao." Song Siyao's identity goes far beyond what the Princess Consort of Zhen mentioned.

Princess Zhen nodded, looking pleased. She liked Song Siyao more and more the more she looked at her. "The princess is right. No matter how much we achieve, we should never forget who we were. Only by staying true to our original aspirations can we fly higher."

Song Siyao cupped his hands and said, "Youfeng will remember the Princess's teachings."

The Empress grew increasingly displeased with Song Siyao. How could Song Siyao be so powerful? Powerful to the point of being chilling.

Jiang Yu, whom she had high hopes for, was repeatedly ruined by Song Siyao, and a deadlock had long been formed between her and Song Siyao.

“Princess Youfeng, none of us have ever met Ye Wenshu. How can we know if she is real or not? We can’t just believe whatever you say.” The Empress’s expression was somewhat displeased.
