Princess Chengyang sat in the front seat, and Zhang Zong and Xue Shao and his wife sat on her side respectively. Because they were not outsiders, after the banquet began, several people also ate and chatted. Xue Shao and Changsun Yuanyi rarely had a quarrel. In fact, although they were usually noisy, their relationship was still very good. Xue Shao could even understand it with a look of Changsun Yuanyi, which Zhang Zong was quite envious of.

At this moment, Ning'er trotted from the side hall, then bowed happily to Zhang Zong and said, "Brother Shi, thank you for your mirror. You didn't see the appearance of my little sisters. You all want to snatch the mirror back!"

"Just like it!" Zhang Zong replied with a smile.

"Ning'er, Brother Shi has put so much effort into your birthday. This time it will be Brother Shi's birthday. What gift do you plan to give him?" Xue Shao also smiled and cheered. Zhang Zong and Xue Ning'er's birthday was in the same month, but Xue Ning'er was at the beginning of the month and Zhang Zong was at the end of the month, which was also a coincidence.

"Hmph, I have already started preparing. Although it is not as novel and expensive as Brother Shi's gift, it is my intention!" Xue Ning'er also said mysteriously at this time.

Just as Xue Ning'er was talking, she suddenly saw a maid coming in a hurry, and then whispered a few words in the ear of Princess Chengyang, which made her look surprised and said to herself: "Why is he here?"

"Mother, who is here?" Xue Shao asked curiously when he saw Princess Chengyang's surprised look.

"Do you know Ming Chongyan?" Princess Chengyang asked Xue Shao. She had never dated this person, but the other party suddenly came to visit her, so she doubted whether the other party was invited by Xue Shao?

"Ming Chongyan? That charlatan? How could I know him?" Xue Shao also looked shocked when he heard this name.

Zhang Zong next to him was also a little surprised. If anyone in the court has the most popular popularity in the past two years, then he would recommend Ming Chongyan first. It is a coincidence that shortly after Helan Minzhi was secretly executed two years ago, Ming Chongyan seemed to be using the help of the wind, and he jumped from a small county magistrate to a regular counselor, and could even enter the cabinet to discuss matters, becoming one of the core figures of the Tang Dynasty's power.

Ming Chongyan's experience is quite legendary. His father was a county magistrate. It is said that when Chongyan was young, he found that a minor official in the county government actually knew Taoism. So he asked the minor official humbly for advice, but he actually learned a whole body of strange skills.

When Li Zhi went to Mount Tai to Fengshan, he heard Ming Chongyan's name, so he summoned him and made a test, which was to let someone play music in the cellar. The music sound was faintly heard, like a haunted ghost. Then Li Zhi asked Ming Chongyan to control ghosts, but he drew two talismans and then needled on the ground, and the music sounded indeed stopped.

This surprised Li Zhi. He later called the musician in the cellar out to ask. As a result, the musician reported that while he was playing music, he suddenly saw a strange dragon appearing in the cellar, which scared him so much that he did not dare to play music. This surprised Li Hong, and it also facilitated Ming Chongyan to enter Li Zhi's eyes for the first time.

However, the first test did not completely relieve Li Zhi. In the summer of the same year, the weather was very hot, so Li Zhi asked Ming Chongyan to offer snowflakes, but soon the other party actually brought a pile of snow.

When Li Zhi wanted to eat the melon, Ming Chongyan took out a hundred cents of money. Then in a blink of an eye, a melon appeared, saying that it was taken from an old man's melon garden in Qianshi County. Afterwards, Li Zhi sent someone to check it out and found the old man in the melon garden. After asking, he learned that the old man had lost a melon, but found a hundred cents of money in the soil.

If it were just because of the above, it would not be enough for Li Zhi to trust Ming Chongyan so much. The most important thing is that Ming Chongyan is also good at medical skills. Li Zhi's wind glare due to his treatment, so Li Zhi also trusts him more and more.

Therefore, Ming Chongyan, who was only 31 years old this year, has already reached a high position and has become a hot newcomer in the court. Even his long-dead father was posthumously awarded the title of governor, and he can also freely enter and exit the palace. This kind of favor is far more than any minister in the court.

"Princess, what are Ming Chongyan doing?" Zhang Zong couldn't help but ask Princess Chengyang curiously. Speaking of which, Ming Chongyan is actually very similar to him. Both of them are close to the powerful and powerful with medical skills and extraordinary skills, but Zhang Zong became Li Hong's confidant, while Ming Chongyan went further and became Li Zhi's confidant.

"I don't know either. The servant said he suddenly came to visit, but I didn't invite him in advance?" Princess Chengyang said in confusion at this time.

"Mom, why not invite him in. I want to see what this charlatan has?" Xue Shao also suggested at this time that due to Zhang Zong's influence, he was not very interested in things like ghosts, ghosts, gods, and so on. Ming Chongyan is famous for his Taoism, so Xue Shao always thought that the other party was a trick-making liar.

Zhang Zong only heard of Ming Chongyan's name but did not see him. At this time, he wanted to see him. Princess Chengyang was also a little moved, so he nodded quickly and said, "Come on, invite him in!"

The person below agreed to go and invite someone. After a while, a man in a wide Taoist robe walked in. He saw that the other person was slender and handsome, with three long beards under his jaw, and his starry eyes were full of energy. He turned out to be a very rare beauty.

"The alchemist Ming Chongyan worships His Highness the Princess!" After Ming Chongyan came in, he immediately saluted Princess Chengyang without being humble or arrogant.

Zhang Zong also noticed that he called himself a alchemist rather than a lower-ranking official, which reminded him of the legend that although Ming Chongyan was an official, he always regarded himself as a alchemist and usually dressed as a Taoist priest. Even if he went in and out of the palace, he never wore official uniforms.

"Doctor Ming doesn't have to be too polite. I wonder why you suddenly came to my mansion today?" Princess Chengyang asked straight to the point. She had met Ming Chongyan several times. After all, she often went to the palace and would inevitably meet each other. At first, she didn't believe Ming Chongyan's so-called Taoist technique, but since he made Li Zhi's condition improve, Princess Chengyang has not hated Ming Chongyan so much.

"Princess Qi, when I passed by your mansion, I found that there was a purple qi soaring into the sky in your mansion. Obviously, there was a great sage here. This made me feel itchy, so I took the liberty to come to the door. Please don't blame the princess!" Ming Chongyan bowed to Princess Chengyang again.
