After the dance, Emperor Chunde brought up the wine and said, "The day before yesterday, the emperor's fourth son was blessed with a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix. I am very pleased. Now I invite all the ministers to a banquet to congratulate the royal family on their heir."
Everyone raised their glasses to thank the emperor for his kindness.
Just as he put down his wine glass, the Qintian Supervisor, that is, the Miao Miao Master Tao Miao, suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, held a brocade box, knelt down and said, "I have been ordered to refine Yi Jie Yan. After seventy-seven and forty-nine days of refining, the Nian Dan finally became three elixirs. May my emperor be blessed with heaven and enjoy eternal blessings."
Elliot Xiao looked at Tao Miao, who was wearing a Taoist robe, with a slightly darkened look in his eyes. This evil Taoist had tried to harm him in the matter of Mount Tai, but failed, and was appointed as the director of the Imperial Observatory. Now he was making some kind of elixir, as if he thought the court was not chaotic enough.
Emperor Chunde seemed very happy. Obviously he knew about the elixir refining. He waved his hand for Huaizhong to take the elixir and said, "Tao Aiqing has made merit in refining the elixir. I will reward you."
