Chapter 37: At the Banquet



When the ministers waiting outside received the news that Jiang Li had written a military order to save people, they were all stunned.

Logically speaking, as an inspector, Jiang Li could have handed the matter over to the people in the Imperial Hospital. But now he has acted like this, which inevitably makes people think too much.

"Is Supervisor Jiang willing to sacrifice his life just to win?"

Someone whispered.

The adult next to him quickly touched him, indicating that Prince Jingling was still there. If you say that, I'm afraid you're going to die!

When everyone looked at Prince Jingling, he was surprisingly calm, as if he wasn't worried at all.

"Li'er, she..." Imperial Master Xue frowned and wanted to ask the eunuch to pass on the message to the emperor, telling him that this was a serious matter and that a decision should be made after discussion.

Gu Qingchen shook his head at Xue Shan, "Master Xue, you should believe her."

Jiang Li cherishes her life very much, and she will not put herself in danger unless she is sure.

In particular, she issued a military order to save Concubine Shan, which shows how urgent the situation is. Any further rash discussions and delaying of time would only do Jiang Li more harm than good.

Seeing Prince Jingling's attitude, the people outside all shut up.

Inside the palace, the emperor finally nodded when he saw Jiang Li's firm attitude.

"Your Majesty, only two people are needed to help me here. Please send the others away."

When the emperor and the empress dowager also went behind the screen, Jiang Li took the opportunity to open the medicine box and took out the medicine, gold needles and scalpels in the system.

Fortunately, I took the time to make some life-extending pills a few days ago, so even if there are special circumstances, I can control them.

"Medical skills have no borders, Libao. Curing illnesses and saving lives is the original intention of practicing medicine. You are a talented child, you can do it."

Remembering what her master said in her previous life, Jiang Li wiped the scalpel with alcohol. She hadn't touched the tool for a long time. Back then, a good friend of her master came to visit her in the mountains. Seeing that she was extremely talented, she talked to her master for a long time and asked him to let her study Western medicine.

So, although she is a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, she is also very good at Western medicine.

"Nervous?"

Jiang Li looked at Concubine Shan. If the queen's appearance represented a prosperous country and peaceful people, then she was a typical beautiful girl from a small family. It was obvious that she was a girl who was raised in the palm of her family's hand.

In addition to the emperor's favor, there was not a trace of cunning or meanness on her face.

"Nervous." Concubine Shan pursed her lips, "But I believe you."

I don’t know why, but there’s an inexplicable feeling of trust about Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded, fed her a tranquilizing pill, and then used gold needles to soothe and clear the areas that were stimulated and closed. Then she asked the maid beside her to feed Concubine Shan some Ma Fei San.

"Get some sleep, everything will be fine."

The last thing Concubine Shan was aware of was these gentle words.

No one had ever felt time pass so slowly.

Xiaojiu held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, "Grandmother, Auntie Huang will definitely be able to do it, right?"

Everyone's heart was lifted up even through the screen.

The people outside the hall were pacing back and forth, not knowing what the situation was like inside.

Until another three incense sticks passed.

The cry of a baby broke the silence of the palace.

The maid, sweating profusely from the nervousness of the entire process, carried the cleaned baby, walked around the screen and came before the emperor, saying nervously, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Xue has successfully given birth to a little prince. Divine Doctor Jiang said that Concubine Xue will wake up soon."

"good!"

God knows, the royal family has always had few offspring, and several of them died young. The emperor has been looking forward to this child for a long time.

"Jiang Li, this child, is truly a noble of our royal family."

It was rare for the Queen Mother to have tears in her eyes. She had been worried about Jiang Li just now, and now she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The princess is really nice."

The Minister of Revenue, who had remained silent all this time, finally let out the breath that was stuck in his heart.

He bowed sincerely to Prince Jingling.

"The one you should thank is the princess."

Seeing Gu Qingchen stopping the Minister of Revenue and making faces for Jiang Li, Emperor Xue looked at Gu Qingchen with even more approval.

The expressions of the group of people waiting at the side of the Imperial Hospital were indescribable.

With this, the competition between Jiang Li and Zou Feng was completely over. Within two days, the story of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor's closed disciple performing a caesarean section at a critical moment and the mother and child being unharmed was compiled into a story by a storyteller and appeared in the capital.

That night, there was a morning banquet.

The birth of the Thirteenth Prince and the wedding of Prince Jingling were double happiness for the royal family. The emperor was so happy that he asked all the ministers to bring their families to attend the court banquet.

"Meet Princess Jingling."

Jiang Li was dressed in a formal palace dress, which made her temperament even more cold and aloof than before.

In addition, she is now the first female official in Daning. The female relatives present did not dare to say much and saluted one after another.

The women looked at Jiang Li's back with envy, while Gu Qingchen shook her hand and asked, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Li tried hard to suppress a yawn, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"Sleepy……"

She had just finished an operation and hadn't had a good rest when she was dragged by the maids to change into a complicated set of clothes.

Coupled with the various looks in the hall, her intuition told her that there would be a tough battle to fight tonight.

Jiang Li sat next to Gu Qingchen. The food at the palace banquet looked very delicious, but she couldn't muster up any appetite.

"After this, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The man's gentle voice sounded, and Jiang Li finally regained his spirits. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, big brother."

As he spoke, Jiang Li felt the gaze from the opposite side.

The third prince?

As soon as Jiang Li saw this guy, he immediately thought of the day when Taolin held him in Zhuang Ge's arms.

Seeing Jiang Li glance at him expressionlessly, the Third Prince fell silent.

Could it be that what happened that day really had nothing to do with Jiang Li?

As for the other gaze from Qin Ji, Jiang Li simply ignored it.

She maintained her demeanor and stared at her fingers in a daze for a while. Finally, the emperor arrived with the queen. After everyone had paid their respects, the palace banquet officially began.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Xianbei Kingdom has brought the South Sea Pearl as a gift."

The Xianbei envoy stepped forward and, while presenting the precious pearl, he said with a stiff upper lip, "Our emperor wishes to establish a long-lasting friendship with Da Ning. I am presenting you with the Xianbei pearl. I hope your majesty will properly arrange for it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone heard the hidden meaning.

This pearl is not that pearl.

Xian Xian'er, with a proud look on her face, almost had the words "I am Mingzhu" carved on her face.

"A few days ago, I received a letter from the Xianbei King. Princess Xian'er is a treasure of the Xianbei. I will definitely give her a husband of my choice to improve the friendship between our two countries."

"Your Majesty." Xian Xian'er took light steps, and the crisp bells on her body swayed slightly.

Walking to the front of the palace, he bowed and said, "I already have someone I like, and I hope the emperor will grant me marriage."

Seeing that Xian Xian'er's eyes were about to pierce Gu Qingchen, the emperor sneered in his heart.

"Princess Xian'er, I don't know what's going on in the Xianbei, but now that you've come to Daning, you should abide by Daning's rules."

"What are the rules in Daning?" Xian Xian'er asked with a hint of levity. "I've heard of a saying in Daning: lovers will eventually marry. If that person and I are in love, would the Emperor be willing to grant us a marriage?"
