Feeling these gazes, He Jiuniang smiled back one by one, finally settling on Concubine Hui's face.
He showed a sweet smile and said: "Your Majesty is really discerning, I would like to thank you for your compliment."
The people around couldn't help laughing. Concubine Hui's face was a little ugly. She was mocking herself!
How could the old emperor not see that Concubine Hui was deliberately looking for trouble for He Jiuniang? The banquet had just begun and she couldn't hold herself back. Concubine Hui was really getting better and better.
The old emperor glanced at Concubine Hui displeasedly, and then directly introduced to everyone: "Yes, that is Dr. He who has been treating me. Dear friends, don't look at Dr. He as a woman. , but my medical skills can surpass all the imperial doctors in Tai Hospital. My body is much better than before under the diagnosis and treatment of Dr. He."
The old emperor's words naturally He Jiuniang was classified as one of her own, while Concubine Hui became an outsider.
Concubine Hui’s face was livid. She deliberately attracted everyone’s attention, not to let the old emperor praise He Jiuniang or to support He Jiuniang!
Before He Jiuniang could speak, Concubine Hui said again: "Doctor He is so lucky. Not many people can be praised like this by the emperor! Dr. He is not only excellent in medical skills, but also handsome. The country is beautiful, no wonder the emperor takes it so seriously!"
She had a smile on her face, but her words were yin and yang, which contained the relationship between He Jiuniang and the old emperor.
Now the expressions of the old emperor and Lu Baichuan were ugly. This woman did not want to make people feel better.
"Presumptuous! What are you talking about?"
The old emperor glared at her and motioned for her to shut up, but Concubine Hui took the risk and opened her bow without any arrows to turn back. , She vowed not to give up until He Jiuniang was disgraced today.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just want to tell the truth. The Emperor said that Dr. He's medical skills can surpass all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, but when Dr. He treated the Emperor, no one else was present. , Didn’t the emperor wrong the imperial doctors by saying such things? Furthermore, it is true that Dr. He is good-looking, and I am ashamed of myself!"
After talking about it, she also He began to feel aggrieved, as if the old emperor had found a new love and forgotten his old one.
Concubine Hui was calm on the surface, but she was panicking in her heart. She was blatantly provoking the emperor. If she was not careful, she would be thrown into the cold palace or sentenced to death. But as long as someone in the court spoke for her, she would You can win the bet and help your daughter breathe a sigh of relief.
The old emperor was very angry. He felt that Concubine Hui was becoming more and more lawless. With his usual favor, she dared to talk to him like this. This was not only against him. , also want to destroy HeJiu Niang’s reputation.
Things that happened between the emperor and his wife may not be anything to the emperor, but to the Lu family, it was indeed a fatal blow, and they would be ridiculed by many people in the future.
At first, the fifth princess was a little angry when she saw her mother and concubine praising He Jiu Niang. Unexpectedly, she was helping herself to vent her anger. She was very happy. At this time, regardless of the maid's dissuasion, she stood up and said: "Yes, father." Emperor, you always say that woman has great medical skills, but we have never seen her. Who knows if she is a liar. My father’s dragon body is more important, so we should be cautious."
Old Emperor I was a little embarrassed for a moment, and for the first time I realized what it means to be reasonable and unclear.
There was nothing in between, and every time I saw a doctor, everyone in the old emperor's palace was watching. Apart from eating some big melons, there was nothing else.
But those people are all the old emperor’s people. Even if someone comes forward to testify, no one will believe it.
Considering He Jiuniang’s temper, he vaguely knew that Concubine Hui and her daughter were going to suffer, but for a while he really didn’t know how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Hui said is indeed true. We have never seen Dr. He practice medicine, so we cannot guarantee that she is really capable. It is better to let her show it in person and prove it to herself. Innocent."
Some courtiers stood up, seemingly speaking for He Jiuniang, but in fact they just wanted to watch the fun. After all, the Lu family came from a humble background, but they were able to get the support of so many big bosses. Who wouldn't be jealous? ?
When other people saw this, they also stood up and spoke to help: "Yes, this is the best way for Dr. He to prove his innocence!"
The old emperor took a look. He Jiuniang saw no expression on her face, as if she was not the protagonist of this matter.
At this time, the old queen mother, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "Emperor, let's do this, and it will also make the Ai family feel more at ease."
The old queen mother seven She is eighty years old, has gray hair, and is elegant. She rarely attends such banquets on weekdays, but today she heard Princess Chen keep mentioning He Jiuniang. She was very interested, so she thought of coming to take a look. No. Considering that there have been so many disturbances, it is even more important to take a closer look.
The old queen mother had already spoken. Logically speaking, it was difficult for the emperor to refuse, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at He Jiuniang and asked her what she meant.
This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and there was another sigh. The emperor seemed to treat the woman even more favorably than he did to the demon before.
Lu Baichuan was also angry. This was a palace banquet. What was the point of asking his wife to demonstrate her medical skills on the spot?
But every time he wanted to speak, his wife held him down, obviously not wanting him to interfere.
He clenched his fists tightly, remembering the way he gloated about everyone's misfortune today, and slowly asked for it back later.
Then, everyone’s eyes focused on He Jiuniang again. He Jiuniang stood up in full view and said to Concubine Hui: “Of course it’s okay if you want me to show you, but I have a condition. I hope the empress can agree."
Concubine Hui thought to herself that as a woman who serves the emperor with sex, she will definitely show her flaws as soon as she shows off, so how can she have the ability to put forward conditions? So he readily agreed.
After that, He Jiuniang looked at the emperor and the old queen mother, and said: "My wife is a doctor, but I have no patients. I would also like to ask the emperor to agree to let my wife treat the fifth princess."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. The fifth princess was fine, why did she need to be treated?
The fifth princess also stood up with an angry look on her face. Just as she was about to speak, He Jiuniang quickly stepped forward and clamped her chin, forcing her to open her mouth, and then poured her wine from her glass. Go down.
This scene happened so fast that no one present could react.
“Ah ah ah…”
There was a sudden scream from behind, and everyone looked and saw that it was the maid next to the fifth princess, stumbling over.
"Princess, you can't drink that, I'm going to vomit!"
The panicked look of the palace maid made everyone instantly understand what was happening.
Before anyone could speak, the fifth princess reacted.
"Hahaha, hehehe, what a good drink..."
She seemed to be drunk, acting like a drunk in the main hall.
But today’s wine is just rice wine, not intoxicating, and the wine in the cup is only a small sip at most. Even if the drinker is not good, how can he react so quickly?
