When the courtiers heard what Ning Guogong said, they all made way.
Ning Guogong personally pushed Gu Qingze to his seat, smiled at Gu Qingze and said, "Gu miraculous doctor, would you like to sit next to my Duke?"
His seat is just below Princess Zhaorong. It can be said that it is the most noble and conspicuous position in the entire hall besides the royal family members. It is only one step away from Shen Ning's queen's seat, which is enough to show that he is in the court. An important position.
Gu Qingze nodded slightly and said without objection: "Okay."
Ning Guogong's face was filled with joy. He did not expect that Gu Qingze's attitude towards him would be so different. He was coldly ignoring the ministers around him, but he spoke kindly to himself.
He immediately turned to the eunuchs and shouted: "Hurry up and prepare the best tableware for the ancient miracle doctor, and serve the best wine and fruits!"
The eunuchs and maids did not dare to neglect, so they immediately brought a table made of a whole piece of red sandalwood. The cups and dishes they brought were also completely different from those of the ministers. It could be said that they were the same as Ning Guogong. Enjoy the highest treatment.
Ning Guogong picked up the wine pot and poured a full glass of wine for Gu Qingze himself.
Gu Qingze sat in a chair, curled his lips and smiled calmly.
"I, Gu Qingze, am just a common man with no official position and no responsibilities, but the Duke of the State is an important minister of the country, with a high position, below one person and above ten thousand people. Yet the Duke personally pours wine for the common people. This makes me sad. How can ordinary people dare to do this?”
Shen Ning discovered that he was just trying to be modest, but he didn't even raise his butt in the chair, let alone get up and take the wine glass.
The carefree look made her almost laugh out loud.
Xiao Ru couldn't hold back any of it, and laughed with a chuckle.
When Ning Guogong heard the laughter, his face darkened, and he glared at Xiaoru fiercely. However, in front of Gu Qingze, he could not get angry for the time being, so he just ignored it, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"The ancient miraculous doctor said it so politely. The miraculous doctor's medical skills are the best in the world and everyone respects him. It is an honor for my prince to be able to pour a glass of wine to the ancient miraculous doctor. This is a fine wine that has been collected in the palace for decades. It is extraordinary for ordinary people." You can taste it, it’s extremely mellow, please give it a try, the ancient miracle doctor.”
Seeing that Gu Qingze had no intention of raising his hand to hold the glass, he personally picked up the wine glass and brought it to Gu Qingze.
This move made the courtiers dumbfounded.
Oh my God! How much dignity does it take to be treated like this by Ning Guogong? This ancient miracle doctor is really amazing!
However, Gu Qingze raised his hand and blocked the wine glass that Duke Ning Guo brought in front of him.
He said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that ordinary people don't drink alcohol."
Ning Guogong's face froze, and the hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air. He could neither pass it forward nor retract it.
Gu Qingze's move was tantamount to rejecting his kindness in front of everyone, which made him feel embarrassed.
"Please don't misunderstand me, my lord, common people practice medicine and never drink alcohol, because after drinking, the hand holding the needle will be unstable and it will be impossible to perform acupuncture on the patient."
Gu Qingze glanced at him and said lightly.
Ning Guogong agreed, laughed, and said: "That's it. Come, please take off the wine and replace it with the best fruit juice!"
The courtiers also showed understanding smiles.
Now they finally understood why Ningguo Guild had been groveling in front of this young man, smiling and careful.
