Chapter 41
The dinner party was held in the Great Phoenix Palace, a spacious palace between the East Palace and the North Leng Palace, which has always been used for banquets for the officials. Not to mention the grandeur and splendor, it was specially arranged for the winter solstice. Li Zihe and Shen Mo arrived By the time of the meeting, most of the officials were already seated, orderly and lively.

Li Zihe took a quick glance, of course there was Yun Jinyan's dragon chair in the hall, and the one down the steps should be the concubine's seat, with long tables on the left and right sides, and the officials sat from front to back according to their official ranks, Li Zihe glanced at it He glanced at the corner where the Tai Hospital was located, exchanged glances with Shen Mo, and then stepped forward to take a seat.

Yin Qi was still seriously ill, so he specially asked Yin Ping to come to thank him, everyone in the imperial hospital politely asked him to stay, and he really stayed, completely forgetting that he almost died in the palace before, sitting in Yin Qi's seat was a joy .

Yun Jinyan brought Concubine Yao into the palace, one with high spirits and the other proudly accepting the worship of all the officials. For a moment, Li Zihe glanced at the two of them in a hurry, feeling that the bright red was Ji Li.

It was the same with Ji Li in the past, standing silently behind him, seeing him talking and laughing at Yan Yan with all the officials, seeing him frowning his eyebrows for political affairs, seeing him smiling at himself, bright yellow and bright red, in Ji Li's eyes The most matching color.

But in Li Zihe's eyes, it is the most piercing color.

Hundreds of officials worshiped, and the mountain shouted "Long live", Yun Jinyan was in a good mood today, there was a smile on the corners of his brows and lips, and he raised his voice to calm everyone down.Concubine Yao sat on the left side closest to him, her makeup was gorgeous, obviously she had carefully dressed up, she was also smiling, she looked at Yun Jinyan from time to time, and then put her eyes on the officials, as if she was looking for something .

Yun Jinyan was the first to pick up the wine glass and toasted all the officials, and then everyone, led by Zheng Ying, thanked each other for the wine and respected each other. What he said was nothing more than the stability of the country, the prosperity of the emperor, and so on.

Li Zihe sneered in his heart, this scene is so false that it makes people sick, even Yao Fei, who should be the most proud, has a forced smile on her face, and the time spent with her is too long, what kind of emotions will appear on her face? Li Zihe is still somewhat sure of what kind of expression it is. Looking at her appearance today, she is obviously restless. She looks very happy on the surface, but her eyes are flickering, and she may be a little restless.

Glancing at the few vacancies near Yun Jinyan, she was the only concubine left in the harem, so why was she worried?

During the staggering of toasts, the hall gradually became lively, and the previous restraint became much lighter. Li Zihe ate food in silence from the beginning to the end. If he planned to drink, he would be stopped by Shen Mo. After a few times, he would simply give up. Then she would not get drunk if she ordered wine. It doesn't matter.

Every time he was stopped, Li Zihe would think of what Mu Pianwu said to her, and he couldn't help but feel blocked. He was not honest with him, and he knew it from beginning to end. Even though he had concealed it, he still knew her daughter Knowing the identity of her Ji family, if she wants to harm herself, she will not be able to survive in the palace if she reveals one thing, but his silence does not mean that he is completely trustworthy. Trust is between both parties. If he believes in himself, why? Not being honest and unfair about who you are?
Li Zihe sneered, maybe her thinking was a little too much, she was powerless, and cooperating with Shen Mo would be an advantage no matter what, in fact, she had no right to doubt others at all.

"Doctor Shen, why are you sitting there?" Yun Jinyan said suddenly, as if he had just discovered Shen Mo, and said in surprise, "Come forward and sit down."

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Mo instantly, and Li Zihe was no exception. The seat Yun Jinyan pointed to was the first seat in the first row on the right hand side. It should be Gu Weiquan's seat. Because he went to Southwest County and could not return in time, it was vacant. , no one dared to sit.

Shen Mo's face remained calm, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'll just sit with my apprentice."

"Haha, the Imperial Doctor Li also stepped forward." Shen Mo didn't call him "Chen", and Yun Jinyan was not annoyed, but laughed out loud.

Li Zihe hurriedly saluted and said: "This humble minister dare not..."

"Your Majesty." Before Li Zi could finish his sentence, Feng Zongying stood up suddenly, his face was slightly drunk, he must have drank a lot of wine, his utterance was a little fuzzy, but his consciousness was still clear, and said: "My academy history is still here, Why are those two imperial doctors sitting there? They are not in line with etiquette..."

Yun Jinyan suddenly realized the situation, nodded his head again and again, and said: "Then Feng Yuanshi can come and sit down?"

Li Zihe was dragged to sit down by Shen Mo, and saw Feng Zongying staggering out from the second row, about to go to the opposite side, but just as he walked to the aisle, one of them lost his footing, staggered and fell to the ground , the food and drink on the table next to him fell all over the floor, and the official turned pale with fright, he quickly helped him up and said, "Is your lord all right?"

Feng Zongying squinted his eyes, got up quickly, wiped the stains on his body, patted his forehead and said softly: "Shame, shame, shame!"

Several officials in the hall covered their mouths and laughed lightly, Yun Jinyan also smiled, without any intention of blame.

Feng Zongying stabilized his body, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this old minister is overwhelmed with alcohol, please step down first."

In private, Feng Zongying didn't give Yun Jinyan a good face, but in front of all officials, he was still respectful and respectful. Seeing him, Yun Jinyan found it difficult to stand still, his face flushed from the alcohol, nodded and said: "Then Feng Yuanshi is a good student." Go home and rest."

Feng Zongying shook his head and thanked him. Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward to support him, but he threw off his hand and said angrily, "I'm not old enough to be helped to walk."

After saying that, he staggered out of the hall.

Li Zi Hezheng frowned in confusion, and heard Shen Mo's very soft voice beside him say two words, "It's just pretending."

Pretending to be drunk?

Li Zihe looked at Shen Mo in doubt, and seeing that he nodded affirmatively, he scratched the word "medicine" on the table with his hand, meaning that the flush on Feng Zongying's face was caused by taking medicine?
Thinking about it, even though Grandpa Feng loves to drink, he would not get drunk and make trouble regardless of the occasion. The drunken appearance just now was indeed very real, and if Shen Mo hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have been able to tell that it was just a fake.

just why?

Li Zihe lowered his eyes to pick up vegetables, but he didn't know how to eat them. Feng Zongying had already passed the age of resignation from the government, and he still stayed in the imperial hospital. He said that he was reluctant to bear the official position because of his vanity. One of the history of the hospital was handed over to Shen Mo, saying that it was impossible for him to pay for the salary. Feng Zongying was the royal doctor when the late emperor was in power, and the late emperor loved him very much and often rewarded him. Either, he feels that there is no suitable person to take his place, or, there is something that makes him unable to let go...

"Doctor Li!"

Li Zihe was in deep thought, when he heard Yun Jinyan's voice, he quickly got up and cupped his hands, "The minister is here."

"Let's see how my concubine is doing?"

Li Zihe raised his head just now, and saw Concubine Yao clutching her lower abdomen, she seemed extremely uncomfortable, her face was too thickly made up, and she couldn't tell what her face was like, Yun Jinyan frowned and was looking at him, Li Zihe hurriedly withdrew from his seat, and glanced at Shen Mo With a glance, I saw that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak because of the people around him.

Li Zihe walked forward step by step along the steps, while hesitating, Yun Jin said: "No problem, just take the pulse."

Li Zihe took the order, put on Concubine Yao's right hand, and saw that Concubine Yao was not showing any signs in his eyes, and gave him a warning look. Once he took the pulse, he instantly understood her intentions, stepped back and cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, Tian Hanlu Seriously, the empress is afraid that she is suffering from the cold, so she is not feeling well, I will prescribe two medicines, and you will be fine after two days of rest."

"The concubine should go back to the palace first." Concubine Yao lowered her brows and pleasing her eyes, her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Yun Jinyan nodded, and told Li Zihe: "Send your mother back to the palace, and make a prescription." Then he turned his head and said softly to Concubine Yao: "My concubine should rest first, I will be there later."

Li Zihe bent over to accept the order, Yue'er helped Concubine Yao get up, Li Zihe stepped aside to let the two of them go first, then followed, and glanced at Shen Mo again, seeing him nodding to him, he felt a lot more at ease in an instant .

The outside of the hall has long been shrouded in night, it is full of stars, and the cool wind blows away all the noise and glitz before it. Concubine Yao and Yue'er are hurrying, Li Zihe keeps a distance and follows behind, and the last one is Taoyao Hall's Eunuchs and ladies.

After returning to Taoyao Hall, Concubine Yao remained silent, quietly watching Li Zihe write the prescription, the impatience in his eyebrows was still captured by Li Zihe, Li Zihe quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Yueer as she wished, Salute and leave.

Concubine Yao's pulse condition was indeed disordered, she was suffering from cold and weak body, if other imperial doctors came to take the pulse, they would come to this conclusion.But she has taken the pulse of Concubine Yao every day for half a month, and she still understands her physical condition. She was in good shape yesterday, but she suddenly became like this tonight. , she deliberately pretended to be sick and left the meeting, as for the purpose?
