The Imperial Medical Service hasn't been this lively for a long time.
All those who had nothing to do gathered in the courtyard.
The imperial doctors who had been arranged in advance to take the nobleman's pulse were also waiting by the side. They left reluctantly only after being called several times by the palace servants.
"I wonder how Supervisor Jiang wants to compete?"
Since the director of the hospital was not there, Qin Yu, as the head of the Imperial Hospital, was naturally the referee of this competition.
To be honest, based on the prescription Jiang Li just gave him, Qin Yu couldn't help but side with her and let Jiang Li set the rules of the competition.
"To be fair, how about you and I compete three times, taking turns setting the rules?"
Zou Feng nodded, "Okay, but who will decide the rules for the third game?"
Before Jiang Li could speak, a burst of laughter rang out from outside the courtyard. "The third round will be decided by me. What do you think?"
Hearing this voice, everyone knelt down and saluted, saying in unison: "Your Highness."
"Everyone, get up." The emperor looked at Jiang Li. "Today is Supervisor Jiang's first day in office. I wanted to come and inspect and see how things are going. I didn't expect to encounter such a good show. How is it? It's a shame not to come, right?"
The emperor turned his gaze to Gu Qingchen, who was staring at Jiang Li without blinking.
Feeling the hint from Jiang Li's eyes, Gu Qingchen replied, "Your Majesty is wise."
The perfunctory tone in the words can be seen from this.
The emperor rolled his eyes in his heart. He had married her, but he was still craving her like the apple of his eye. If he wanted to see her, he could go home and take a good look at her. She wouldn't run away. Why did she show off in front of him? It was really unbelievable that their Gu family actually had such a romantic man.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, the emperor threw the conversation to Jiang Li, "You two can each decide the rules for one match, and I will set the third match. How do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As for Zou Feng, he had no objection. They were of different status and position. The emperor asking for Jiang Li's opinion was a matter for the royal family. Rules and regulations were not important. A doctor should speak with strength.
After the Emperor, Gu Qingchen and several adults who came from the Imperial Study were seated, the Empress Dowager also came over, supported by the Empress on one side and the Ninth Princess on the other, and followed by several concubines with titles.
One of them was Concubine Yue. The look in her eyes was full of mockery.
"I heard there was a competition at the Imperial Hospital, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect the Emperor to be here too."
The emperor quickly asked someone to bring him a seat.
Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Li and quickly squinted.
The little girl had lost a lot of weight, and it seemed that she was following the doctor's advice carefully. Jiang Li gave her a look without any expression.
"Your Majesty, shall the competition begin?" Qin Yu asked. Seeing the emperor nod, he turned and said, "The medical skills competition begins. Supervisor Jiang, please."
When a doctor sees a patient, he basically follows four steps: observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Although it seems simple, each step tests one's skills.
Today's competition between Jiang Li and the other person is to increase the difficulty of these four steps.
In the first round, Jiang Li proposed the rules of the competition: the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau would draw on paper the difficult and complicated diseases they had encountered, and then the two of them would diagnose the disease and give a treatment plan based on the drawings.
As soon as the rules were announced, discussions broke out in the hospital.
If we really encounter a difficult and complicated disease, it would not be easy to diagnose it even if the patient is standing in front of us, let alone using a portrait.
This was the first time Zou Feng had heard of this method of diagnosis by observation, and he immediately became excited. He liked doing things that involved frame skipping the most.
"Come here, go find some painters."
The emperor waved his hand, and the imperial physicians began to recall the difficult and complicated diseases they had encountered. Some of the more serious ones even went to look through the medical records to see if the two of them could complete the challenge.
After an incense stick of time, after a private competition to see whose patient's symptoms were more difficult and strange, the few imperial doctors who "stood out" each took a portrait artist into the inner room. After a while, a young eunuch came out holding two copies of ten portraits in total.
It was first presented to the emperor. The emperor took a quick glance at it and couldn't make out what it was. Then he waved his hand and signaled the two to start the competition.
Qin Yu took the portrait, split it into two, and placed it on the desks of the two.
In order to ensure fairness in the competition, the two of them placed their tables on both sides of the yard and sat facing each other.
After receiving the portrait, the two took over and wrote the diagnosis on rice paper.
When he got the first one, Zou Feng frowned.
No wonder it is a difficult and complicated disease. He looks fine and doesn’t look like he is sick at all!
While they were studying, Jiang Li picked up the brush, took a look, dipped it in the inkstone with his right hand, and began to write.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Even the person who set the question didn't expect Jiang Li to react like this. It was so fast that it seemed fake.
"Wow, Grandmother Huang, look, Aunt Huang is so amazing!"
The Ninth Princess couldn't help herself and cheered excitedly.
The Queen Mother also nodded with satisfaction. No wonder she liked Jiang Li the most. This girl was really ambitious.
Concubine Yue curled her lips and whispered, "Why are you pretending? What's the point of writing quickly? The most important thing is whether you can diagnose the right person."
The Queen was close to Concubine Yue. When she heard the voice, she glanced at her with disgust in her eyes.
She has never liked Concubine Yue, who usually pretends to be elegant, dignified and eloquent, but is actually very narrow-minded.
As for the others, most of them were there to watch the fun.
This is the newly married Princess Jingling of the royal family, and also the first female official of the Daning Dynasty. It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.
When the emperor announced this matter at the morning court today, there were still censors who opposed it, but they were retorted by the emperor.
However, if he loses the competition today, I'm afraid the emperor will lose face.
Everyone here had different thoughts, while Jiang Li quickly wrote a few words and soon finished writing all five diagnosis reports.
The moment she put down her pen, Jiang Li was still sighing that it was a good thing that her master often used this trick to "trouble" her.
At that time, before she officially started working on the front line, her master asked the old man to send her photos of the diseases in the hospital regularly in order to give her more experience. After a while, she could tell whether a person had a problem or not at the first sight.
“So fast?!”
When they saw Jiang Li hand the paper to Qin Yu, everyone believed that she had really finished writing.
This is faster than the portrait artist's speed, which is a bit disrespectful.
Not caring about other people's criticism, Jiang Li looked at Zou Feng opposite her.
The man seemed to be trapped, his brows were furrowed into a knot.
Feeling the gaze from the opposite side, Zou Feng looked up and found Qin Yu standing next to Jiang Li, holding the written diagnosis. His heart immediately skipped a beat.
But it soon stabilized.
"No, she must have been writing randomly that's why she's writing so fast. Don't worry, the only way to win is to make the right diagnosis." Zou Feng kept whispering to himself to comfort himself.
