Who knows that someone will not be labeled as someone who does not understand etiquette just because there is a drop or two of wine left in the glass?
Su Xuan drank the same drink in one gulp. He felt a look staring at him. After putting down the glass, he found that it was the empress on the stage, smiling at him and greeting him. Su Xuan was so frightened that he bowed to the lowest level!
"Damn! Isn't this woman cheap? There are so many people here! Doesn't this put all the pressure on me?"
Su Xuan was extremely depressed. How could he not know the intention of the emperor's eyes? At this banquet full of guests and friends, there were not only various high-ranking officials in the palace, but also foreign guests who wanted to know more about the Great Xia Dynasty. There were also two-faced people like Su Canshi who only paid lip service to the Great Xia Dynasty. .
And with the emperor's glance, even though Su Xuan didn't feel any eyes from around him looking at him, he could clearly tell that the attention of the audience was definitely on him, a little-known person.
In fact, Su Xuan's guess was not bold enough. As soon as the emperor's eyes stayed on Su Xuan for more than five breaths, his various information had already been reserved in the hearts of everyone present.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the empress and Su Xuan came into contact for the first time. The latter had reached rock bottom. Just one look from the emperor could make Su Xuan feel tremendous pressure.
"My dear friends, don't be restrained! Today's banquet, I just want all my dear friends to enjoy this beauty with me during the full moon season!"
The emperor waved his hand and shouted: "Keep playing music! Keep dancing!"
With this order, one piece after another was performed in turn, not only in Weiyang Palace, but also in the entire palace, which glowed with true vitality in the dark night because of the eternal lights of Weiyang Palace.
At the corner of a narrow path outside the palace, a child in ragged clothes was holding a book that had already been coated with pulp. He looked up at the bright lights of the palace. After just one breath, he was immersed in the ink characters under the moonlight again. The young child The child has a delicate mind and has set a goal in his heart that everyone can look up to...
The emperor's words were followed by music and dancing, and everyone in the room began to drink to their heart's content. The slightly talented poet and poet, facing the moonlight and the extravagance in the palace, faced the moonlight and the extravagance in the palace, and wrote poems one after another, floating like snowflakes. Turning to the emperor's side, the empress had the intention to take a few glances at first.
As time went by, the empress no longer paid attention to what poems these fake literati could write down through the ages.
In this noisy environment, everyone seemed to be talking. Su Xuan and Rong Guiren looked very lonely. Rong Guiren at least had Qingwen to accompany him. Su Xuan was sitting alone in front of a wooden table that was more than three feet tall, leaning on a He lowered his head, tightened his lips, and stared blankly at the palace maid beside him who was constantly strumming the strings.
He still didn't know the real purpose of the empress calling him to this banquet. If he really wanted to help her give birth to a dragon son, Su Xuan wouldn't believe it. How could an emperor, even a woman, tolerate him? Is someone else’s seed planted on your knees?
"Mr. Su looks very bored!"
Su Xuan was still playing with the ring on the middle finger of his right hand given by the old man from the Imperial Medical Office, when a familiar voice sounded beside him, and Su Xuan turned around to look.
"Mr. Su? Why are you here too?"
The person who came was none other than Su Tian, the apprentice of Dr. Gu Ming, who had interacted with Su Xuan at the Imperial Medical Office.
"Mr. Su, there is no need to call me Dr. Su. I am not from the Imperial Physician's Office. I don't have any official position. I am considered the lowest level person in this huge palace. In fact, I am just an apprentice to learn from Gutou."
Su Xuan got up and was a little happy to meet Su Tian in Weiyang Palace. He didn't have many friends to begin with. Although Rong Gui and Qingwen were good friends with him, in order to avoid suspicion, Su Xuan specified that he should not find those two. People chatted and talked, but Su Tian's appearance was a great relief.
"Mr. Su is so polite. There are not many young talents like you in the Imperial Medical Office!"
"Hahaha! Doctor Su's mouth is even more powerful than his medical skills! But Doctor Su is only a few years older than me, so Doctor Su doesn't need to be too polite."
Su Xuan and Su Tian were close friends at first sight. Although they had a battle of wits and courage in the Palace of Rejuvenation, they were just friends. They were the same age, had similar understandings of things, and had their own specialties for the profession of imperial physician. Expectations and goals.
"I was forcibly called by the old head to be on duty. Although today is a banquet, everyone can enjoy themselves, but the doctor cannot do it. He must be on duty at all times! There have been emergencies at banquets in the past. Originally, The old man came here in person, but he and Uncle Niu went to some brothel to drink wine, isn't that me?"
Su Xuan expressed deep sympathy for Su Tian's experience.
"Imperial Physician Su is really conscientious in his duties. Although he does not have the title or position of an imperial physician, he has the heart of being a doctor for the world. I must give you a toast!"
Su Tian was not polite and stopped being pretentious. He picked up the extra cup next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Xuan was about to lift the jug and serve it to Su Tianman, but the latter put his hand on the rim of the cup with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, I won't drink anymore. I'm busy with something, so it's not convenient for me to drink more."
Su Xuan suddenly realized.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was negligent. I forgot that Dr. Su is still on duty. If you don't want to drink, then I won't drink!"
Su Tian cupped his hands and thanked him.
"I wonder if there is any place for me to sit here, Imperial Physician Su?"
Su Xuan was happy in his heart, but he was worried that there was no one to talk to. He really fell off his pillow when he wanted to sleep! Not only did Su Xuan not feel disgusted with Su Tian towards the other people in the Imperial Medical Office, the time and place where the two met even made Su Xuan feel sympathetic towards this boy who was almost the same age.
The two sat down and chatted word by word, from the initial polite greetings to the history of medical skills, to the end Su Tian felt unhappy, as if he had thrown away everything Gu Ming had explained before leaving, and pushed Su Xuan away. The cup was changed to the cup, and he walked until he was slightly tipsy, half drunk but not drunk.
Su Tian burped and put his hand on Su Xuan's shoulder.
"If you don't mind it, Imperial Physician Su, based on Imperial Physician Su's age, I will call you... hiccup... you as Brother Su."
Su Xuan's body has been adjusted by different medicinal materials, and he has already reached the level where he can't get drunk after a thousand cups. If Su Tian got drunk and became emotional, he would call Su Xuan brothers. Su Xuan must have considered it carefully when he was awake, whether it was the origin of the other party or the ancient inscriptions behind it, or what invisible forces there were.
