Su Daji and the Three Demons Enter the Palace, Di Xin Appoints Su Daji as Noble Consort!

Heaven-Facing Hall.

The civil and military officials of the Great Shang Dynasty had arrived early.

Just then, a drake-like voice rang out. "His Majesty arrives."

At once, the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt in respectful salute.

"This humble minister greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and golden peace!"

Di Xin said, "Rise, my dear officials."

After the officials rose, Bigan stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Su Daji and the other two daughters of Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou, are waiting outside the hall for Your Majesty's summons."

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Shall they be summoned for an audience?"

Hearing Bigan's words, Di Xin thought to himself, Damn. I nearly forgot about this.

Before his transmigration, the original Di Xin had offered incense at Nuwa Palace, where Daoist Zhunti had plotted against him and muddled his mind.

This caused Di Xin to inscribe a poem at Nuwa Palace that desecrated Nuwa Sage.

In her fury, Nuwa Sage brought out the Demon-Summoning Banner and summoned the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb—the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, the Pipa Spirit, and the Pheasant Spirit—to the Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa Sage ordered the three demons—the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, the Jade Pipa Spirit, and the Pheasant Spirit—to each possess Su Daji, the daughter of Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou.

Di Xin looked at Bigan, about to tell the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb—the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, the Pheasant Spirit, and the Pipa Spirit—to go back the way they had come.

Just then, "Ding!" The system's voice rang out in Di Xin's mind.

"The system has issued a mission: Host, recruit the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb into the palace!"

"Then, counter-control the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb and make them serve your own purposes."

"Use the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to provide false intelligence to Nuwa Sage, deceive Nuwa Sage into creating a false impression, and complete the mission issued by the system!"

System [Reward for Host: nine Yellow Center Plums, supreme-grade innate spirit roots!]

Di Xin thought in shock, System, are you telling the truth???

Di Xin could hardly believe what he had heard, and a stunned expression appeared on his face.

The system said, "Host, it is true!"

Di Xin was beside himself with excitement. Having transmigrated into the Primordial World, he was all too familiar with the effects of the Yellow Center Plum.

If an ordinary mortal ate one Yellow Center Plum, a supreme-grade innate spirit root, they could immediately attain the Dao and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Although after consuming one Yellow Center Plum and advancing to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, it would be difficult for one's cultivation realm to advance even an inch thereafter.

But once the Great Shang Dynasty grew powerful and could obtain more precious resources, advancing into the Quasi-Sage realm would no longer be nothing more than a distant dream.

Having thought everything through, Di Xin looked at Bigan.

Di Xin said, "Granted!"

Upon receiving Di Xin's affirmative reply, Bigan declared, "Summon Su Daji and the other two for an audience!"

No sooner had Bigan finished speaking than a voice sounded from outside the hall.

"By decree, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan, daughters of Su Hu, shall enter the hall to meet His Majesty!"

At that moment, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan slowly entered the great hall.

In an instant, every civil and military official in the court turned their gaze toward the three women.

Seated upon the throne, Di Xin watched Su Daji and the other two.

Su Daji truly possessed the beauty to make fish sink and geese fall, to shame the moon and eclipse flowers. Her snow-white robes fluttered around her, revealing endless elegance and allure.

Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan each possessed their own distinct charm.

Di Xin thought, No wonder the original Di Xin was bewitched by the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb.

If Di Xin had not transmigrated here and possessed cultivation at the great completion of the Quasi-Sage realm,

I'm afraid even I would have been bewitched by the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb.

Seeing Di Xin appraising them, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan smiled faintly.

Then, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan respectfully knelt and saluted Di Xin.

"Your servants, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan, daughters of Su Hu, pay respects to Your Majesty."

Di Xin said, "No need for ceremony. Rise."

After Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan stood up, Su Daji smiled at Di Xin while secretly casting an enchanting art.

When Su Daji saw Di Xin staring straight at her, she thought to herself, Hmph. So what if Di Xin is the Human Emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty?

Hasn't he still fallen under this palace's enchanting art?

"Di Xin, Di Xin—let's see how you escape the palm of my hand!"

Seeing Su Daji employ her art of seduction, Di Xin sneered inwardly. Hmph. A mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and two little demons at the Golden Immortal realm actually think they can bewitch me?

Without changing expression, Di Xin said calmly, "Bestow upon Su Daji the title of Consort."

"Bestow upon Hu Ximei the title of Noble Lady, and upon Wang Yuan the title of Noble Lady."

"The three beloved consorts shall reside temporarily in Longevity Immortal Palace. Once Deer Terrace is completed, the three of you shall move there."

When the civil and military officials throughout the court heard Di Xin appoint Su Daji as Consort and Hu Ximei and Wang Yuan as Noble Ladies, their expressions varied.

Bigan, Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, Zhao Qi, Yang Ren, Mei Bo, Xia Zhao, Jiao Ge, Xin Jia, Zu Yi, and the other important ministers all frowned.

The Grand Remonstrance Officer Fei Zhong and the High Minister You Hun, however, were secretly overjoyed.

It had been Fei Zhong and You Hun who had suggested that Di Xin select beautiful women from throughout the nine provinces of the Great Shang Dynasty.

If Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan won Di Xin's favor—

Then, so long as the three women put in a few good words for them before Di Xin—

They would enjoy inexhaustible glory and riches from then on.

Upon hearing Di Xin's bestowals, Su Daji and the other two were beside themselves with excitement.

Immediately, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully paid their respects to Di Xin.

"Your concubines Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Yuan thank Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, for your sacred grace!"

Di Xin said, "Rise."

"Attend to my three beloved consorts and escort them to Longevity Immortal Palace!"

After the three women departed, Prime Minister Shang Rong and Bigan said, "Your Majesty, this humble minister believes construction of large palace complexes such as Deer Terrace and Star-Plucking Tower should be halted."

"Constructing Deer Terrace and Star-Plucking Tower will consume enormous financial and manpower resources from the Great Shang Dynasty."

"When that time comes, it will exhaust both the people and the treasury, leaving the common folk groaning with resentment. This would truly be detrimental to the Great Shang Dynasty!"

Zhao Qi, Yang Ren, Mei Bo, Xia Zhao, Jiao Ge, Xin Jia, Zu Yi, and the other important ministers all spoke up in turn:

"Your Majesty, this humble minister also believes that the Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister speak reasonably."

"This humble minister implores Your Majesty to retract your decree and halt the construction of Deer Terrace and Star-Plucking Tower."

Though Di Xin remained outwardly unruffled, he was somewhat displeased within.

Di Xin said calmly, "My ministers, there is no need for further persuasion. I have my own plans for the construction of Deer Terrace and Star-Plucking Tower!"

Seeing the certainty in Di Xin's tone, important ministers such as Bigan, Shang Rong, and Huang Feihu said no more.

Soon afterward, Di Xin declared court adjourned.

After court was dismissed, Di Xin returned directly to Longevity Immortal Palace.

At that moment, gathered together in the main hall of Longevity Immortal Palace—

Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and the demon Noble Lady Wang learned that there were three principal consorts in the harem: Empress Jiang, Consort Yang, and Consort Huang.

Su Daji transmitted her voice, saying, "Sisters, do you have any way to bring down the three principal consorts of the harem?"

Hearing this, Hu Ximei and Noble Lady Wang frowned and shook their heads.

"Elder Sister Daji, we have only just arrived and are unfamiliar with the situation in the imperial palace."

"Besides, we have no trusted confidants within the palace."

"So for now, we do not have any better plan."

Su Daji said, "Yes... what exactly should we do?"

Hu Ximei and Noble Lady Wang also pondered a strategy.

Suddenly, Hu Ximei's eyes lit up as she looked at Su Daji.

Hu Ximei transmitted her voice, saying, "Elder Sister Daji, we can use the art of seduction to take control of the maids of Longevity Immortal Palace."

"Think about it, Sister. The maids of Longevity Immortal Palace must be very familiar with the people around Di Xin."

"They surely know which ministers are frequently summoned by Di Xin."

Upon hearing this, Su Daji nodded.
