Chapter 123: Chrysanthemum Appreciation Meeting
When Feiying was treating patients in Yinghuatang as usual, Helian Chen, Yuwen Su and Yuwen Hao came here.
She noticed them quickly.
There must be a reason why they are in such a hurry to come here.
After she finished diagnosing the person at hand, she asked everyone to wait for her for a moment.
She walked towards the direction where Helian Chen and the others were.
"Your Highness, Lord Marquis, and the Crown Prince, why are you here all of a sudden? The Crown Prince's illness is not healed yet."
Yuwen Su had a complicated look on his face: "My son's madness is cured, but he has amnesia and has no memory after the age of five."
"Don't worry, my Lord. Let me take a look."
"Your Highness, please extend your hand again so that I can feel your pulse."
After Feiying used her spiritual power to investigate again, she understood why he had lost his memory.
"My Lord, don't worry. The reason why you have amnesia is because the Crown Prince has been deeply poisoned. Although the healing pills have restored the Crown Prince's body, the various aspects of his body that were previously stimulated by the poison cannot be completely healed in a short period of time."
"Your Highness's memory will gradually recover as the nerves that were once stimulated are repaired and revitalized."
After hearing what she said, Yuwen Su finally felt relieved.
"If you let him recover on his own, I don't know how long it will take. Let me prescribe a prescription for you. If you take the medicine on time every day, your Highness will be fully recovered in less than half a month."
After Feiying finished speaking, she turned back to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for Yuwen Su.
"Thank you, doctor. When my son fully recovers, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"You are welcome, Lord. You can get the medicine at the counter over there."
After sending them away, Feiying went back to continue her medical consultation.
Half a month passed in a flash.
On this day, Feiying received an invitation from Concubine Xian to attend a chrysanthemum viewing conference.
It is autumn now, and the chrysanthemum, known as the "king of autumn flowers", is in full bloom.
Since the queen passed away due to illness, Helian Tuo did not appoint anyone else as the queen, so Concubine Xian took over the Phoenix Seal and exercised the responsibilities of the master of the harem.
This chrysanthemum appreciation conference was organized by Concubine Xian.
She had never held such a banquet in previous years when she suffered from headaches. This year was the first time.
Concubine Xian invited many noble ladies to attend.
After all, it was Concubine Xian who personally sent someone to invite her, so Feiying couldn't refuse. So she had to dress up a little and go to the Imperial Garden that day.
The Imperial Garden at this time was not as bleak as in previous autumn. It was filled with chrysanthemums of various colors and varieties, and the faint scent of chrysanthemums was floating in the air.
The noble ladies who had already arrived were standing in front of the flowers in twos and threes, admiring them.
Feiying looked at the chrysanthemums, some of which were tightly furrowed, some of which were hanging low in bloom, and shook her head.
The flowers were indeed gorgeous, but they were obviously artificially cultivated and lacked the vitality given by nature. They were like dead things and were not as good as the chrysanthemum fields that grew freely outside Tiangong Fort.
When the invited noble ladies had almost arrived, Concubine Xian's phoenix carriage arrived here.
Following the shout of the palace maid "Empress Xian has arrived", everyone bowed in the direction where she appeared.
After that, Concubine Xian made some polite opening remarks and then introduced the main topic.
"I think everyone knows that plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are known as the Four Gentlemen. Today, I will add a bonus to this chrysanthemum appreciation meeting. Whoever can recite a poem about chrysanthemums and satisfy me will get the prize I carefully prepared - a picture of flowers blooming and prosperity embroidered by me personally."
As soon as the name of the prize was announced, there was an uproar.
Although embroidery is not as priceless as jewelry and jade, it was embroidered by Concubine Xian, the most favored concubine in the harem, and its value is immeasurable.
Imperial Concubine Xian was already sitting on a specially brought chair, and said softly, "If any of you are ready, you can start now."
"Your Majesty, I dare to be the first to speak."
"please."
After receiving the response, a woman in a peach pink dress came to a chrysanthemum and gently lifted its receptacle with her hand.
"The autumn wind is cool in the vast sky, and the garden is full of golden flowers hanging on the branches. In the morning light, only the chrysanthemums express their deep love."
Concubine Xian listened and nodded.
She was the first to do so, and all the other noble ladies who took the lead also began to compose poems one after another.
The scene gradually became heated.
At this time, Concubine Xian also saw Feiying who had been standing silently beside her.
"Envoy Jiang, would you like to say something as well?"
"My Lady, I profess my lack of talent and knowledge, so I will not..."
Feiying didn't want to be in the spotlight in a situation that had nothing to do with the mission.
A big tree attracts the wind.
"That's all right. Just speak up."
"Yes, ma'am."
Feiying half turned her eyes and opened her mouth slightly: "The geese fly south, the chrysanthemums are yellow, a faint fragrance lingers around the room, and my longing turns into a long autumn water."
"Great words! I never thought that Dean Jiang not only has superb medical skills, but also has such talent!"
"His Majesty!"
The man who came was dressed in bright yellow, and it was Helian Tuo.
At this time, Concubine Xian also stood up from her chair and knelt down to pay her respects with everyone else.
"Be flat."
"Just when I was walking towards this side from afar, I heard the noise here. The palace hasn't been so lively for a long time."
"Envoy Jiang, since you have such a great talent for writing, I will take this opportunity to test you. If you can recite poems about plum, orchid, and bamboo, and satisfy me as you did just now, you will be the winner of today's chrysanthemum appreciation meeting."
"Envoy Jiang, please."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feiying closed her eyes slightly, knowing that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at, but a few lines of poetry were not difficult for her.
She looked as if she was thinking: "Look at the green bamboos from afar, they are soaring high into the sky, their graceful posture is stained with frost and proud of the wind and snow. They stand tall and firm towards the sky, their bones are strong and their hearts are red."
"Good poem, you really didn't disappoint me. Dean Jiang, please continue."
Feiying had no choice but to continue speaking: "The drizzle is misty, the orchids are swaying gently, and a piece of clear poetry is painted on a long scroll."
"The white snow is flying, the plum blossoms are blooming, and the fragrance fills the garden before spring comes."
"What a great poem! Concubine Xian, I think the first place in today's chrysanthemum appreciation meeting can be decided."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Concubine Xian had someone bring the embroidery over and announced that the winner of today's chrysanthemum appreciation meeting would be the Right Director of the Imperial Hospital, Jiang Caiwei, the Divine Doctor, and she said that she would send someone to deliver the embroidery to Yinghua Hall.
Some of the other noble ladies were not convinced that a mere imperial physician could be superior to them, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, this was decided by the emperor of a country.
After the chrysanthemum viewing conference ended, Feiying didn't think much about it and went back to Yinghuatang to see patients.
It was not until the evening, just as the clinic was about to close, that Helian Chen found the clinic and saw her, and he began to praise her.
"I heard about the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting in the palace today. Envoy Jiang is really talented. The emperor praised you highly!"
