Seeing that his answer was accurate, Imperial Physician Qi was a little surprised, because among these medicinal herbs, the most obscure one was this mother-of-pearl. Except for the imperial physicians at the imperial hospital, few people knew about it. He immediately said: "You've never heard of it before."
Where do you know this mother-of-pearl?"
"I reported to the Imperial Physician of Qi that the common people have never seen the mother-of-pearl grass. It's just that the family teacher once drew the appearance of this grass and taught it to the common people, so the common people recognize it."
Before Doctor Qi could ask who his master was, the deputy director next to him had already handed over a piece of paper, which was Zhou Minghua's record. Looking at the paper, Doctor Qi also remembered the two letters he had received before.
Nodding calmly, "Your name is Zhou Minghua?"
"Yes, Cao Ming is Zhou Minghua." When answering this sentence, he was extremely conflicted. Obviously his surname was Jin, but he had to abandon the surname handed down from his ancestors and change it to another one; but although he had no other choice
, if you want to enter the palace to avenge your elder brother, this is the only way.
Doctor Qi stroked the goat's beard under his chin and nodded, signaling Zhou Minghua to stand aside.
Seeing this scene, Guarjia couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is this the so-called fate? In the past, I used motherwort to protect your pregnancy. After knowing this, Imperial Physician Xu brought the motherwort to the Imperial Hospital for the purpose of protecting your fetus.
As all the imperial doctors know, now the Imperial Physician of Qi has so coincidentally used the mother-of-pearl to test the apprentices of Imperial Physician Xu."
"Every drink and every peck has a certain result. It seems that even God wants him to enter the palace." With Ling Ruo's words, the second round of school examinations has ended, and five people, including Zhou Minghua, entered the lower room.
One round, and the last round was about pulse diagnosis with silk thread, asking them to diagnose the patient's disease with the thread.
Just when Zhou Minghua was about to take over the tied silk thread, Ling Ruo suddenly said: "Physician Qi, I have been feeling quite unwell in recent days. Why don't you let this doctor diagnose my pulse on the silk thread?"
Doctor Qi didn't understand the intention of Ling Ruo's sudden words, but he didn't ask any more questions. He agreed and ordered the young eunuch to tie the silk thread for Ling Ruo. When the young eunuch handed the silk thread to Zhou Minghua, he said: "Zhou Minghua, you are so lucky."
Diagnose the pulse of Concubine Xi, and then tell us the truth about the pulse."
Zhou Minghua was suddenly startled, and looked at the woman not far away who looked like a celestial being in disbelief. Is that the Concubine Xi that Master had mentioned? That is, the Concubine Xi who saved the lives of his Jin family?
Seeing that Zhou Minghua was staring at Concubine Xi without answering, Imperial Physician Qi coughed slightly, and the latter suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly lowered his head and took the silk thread, concentrating on the weak pulse coming from the silk thread. As for those questions
They were all suppressed in his heart, and he understood that if he wanted to be qualified to ask those questions, he must pass the final test and become a real imperial physician.
After half a cup of tea, Zhou Minghua raised his head and said: "Concubine Xi is fine, but her heart and lung meridians are a little weak. As long as she takes good care of her, she will be fine."
Ling Ruo smiled slightly, and after the palace attendant untied the silk thread on her wrist, she said, "Then I will wait until the next day when Imperial Doctor Zhou will prescribe medicine for me."
When Zhou Minghua was still confused, the mature Doctor Qi had already come to his senses. He walked up to Zhou Minghua and shouted softly: "What are you doing here? Why don't you quickly thank Concubine Xi for your kindness? From today on, you will be the Imperial Physician."
Already."
Zhou Minghua still couldn't recover, "Mr. Qi, you mean that I..."
"Yes, the empress spoke in person. Is there any lie? Thank you quickly." Dr. Qi said with a smile. I really don't know where this Zhou Minghua came from. Dr. Xu, the Guarjia clan and Concubine Xi all
He tried hard to protect him, and he was quite satisfied with Zhou Minghua's first two rounds of school entrance exams, so he was naturally happy to accept the favor.
Zhou Minghua was overjoyed and knelt down in the envious eyes of others and said: "The common people would like to thank Concubine Xi for her kindness and kindness. The common people will never forget her in this life."
"Get up. Remember to come to my palace tomorrow to check your pulse and take care of my body." After saying this, she and Guarjia walked out of the Imperial Hospital hand in hand.
Not long after Ling Ruo left, the news reached Kunning Palace. At that time, Nala was pruning the flower branches with jianzi. After Xiao Ningzi finished telling the news, he said: "I know this Zhou Minghua. What's the origin?"
Xiao Ningzi shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this slave yet. I only know that he is from Tongxiang, Zhejiang. He just came to the capital not long ago. His family background... seems to be very ordinary, nothing special."
Nala cut off an extra flower branch and said coldly: "Nothing special, he will become the apprentice of Imperial Physician Xu, and will get his recommendation and the support of the entire Guarjia family. Concubine Xi will personally appoint him as the imperial physician." , do you think I am a fool?"
Xiao Ningzi quickly said: "I don't dare! I just think..."
Before he could continue, Nala had already handed the scissors to Yingchun, straightened up and said: "Okay, why do you think I don't want to hear it? In short, there must be something wrong with this Zhou Minghua. You will go out of the palace tomorrow and bring this Tell Yingge about the matter and ask him to find out Zhou Minghua's background for me." After Xiao Ningzi agreed, she added: "By the way, what's going on with the Liu family recently?"
Xiao Ningzi hurriedly apologized and said cautiously: "Returning to the master, since the incident with the Wen family, Mr. Qiangui has been staying in Changmingxuan to raise his fetus and never left. I heard that all the things used by Mr. Qian can be seen. It’s very strict, and it will never be used without medical examination.”
"Mr. Liu has learned a lot and gained wisdom. She knows how to be wary of the endless tricks in the palace, but many times, she is still unable to guard against them." Xiao Ningzi couldn't understand what Na Lashi meant by saying this, so she didn't dare to say anything casually. He lowered his eyes and stared at the toes of his shoes. The reason why he stood out among the many palace people and was valued by Nala was because he knew how to control himself and knew when to speak and when to shut up.
After a moment of silence, Nala's voice came to his ears again, "Let Shumulu come to see me."
"Hey!" Xiao Ningzi left quickly, and less than half an hour later, he saw Shumulu coming in with him, bowing his knees to Nala who was cleaning her hands, and said: "I bow to the queen, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity. "
"Nobleman Hui, no courtesy." Nala said kindly, and after wiping his hands, he added: "Nobleman Hui came yesterday. I was worried that the concubine would embarrass you again, so I sent you to come over. I hope you, the wise man, will not take offense."
Shu Mulu's knees that had just straightened up quickly bent up again, "Your Majesty is very concerned about me, but it's too late for me to hurry up. How can I be surprised? My Majesty said this, but I'm going to kill me."
"Get up quickly." After signaling her to get up, Nala turned around and entered the main hall. There were no earth dragons or charcoal pots in the hall, so it couldn't be warmer than outside. She took the flat gold hand warmer handed by Sun Mo and greeted her. Shu Mulu, who came in with her, said, "By the way, is there still trouble for you on the Cheng concubine's side?"
