Chapter 219 The Curtain Comes to an End
As time passed, Shi Tianyun, Hua Yue, and Wu Shang also completed the auscultation test one after another. Although their results were not as good as Xu Qingyi's, they were still pretty good.
Finally, all the assessments were over. Xu Yinan compiled everyone's scores, ranked them, and finally announced the results of this medical competition.
"The winner of this medical competition is Xu Qingyi, Doctor Xu!
Second place: Shi Tianyun, Doctor Shi.
The third place is Hua Yue, Doctor Hua.
Fourth place: Wu Shang, Doctor Wu.
The fifth one is Bai Yan, Doctor Bai." Xu Yinan announced loudly.
After hearing this result, Shi Tianyun, Hua Yue, and Wu Shang were a little disappointed, but they all accepted it wholeheartedly. They knew that Xu Qingyi's medical skills were indeed much better than theirs, and this victory was well deserved.
"Xu Qingyi, Doctor Xu."
"Xu Qingyi, Doctor Xu."
"Xu Qingyi, Doctor Xu."
As Xu Yinan finished his words, the onlookers burst into warm applause and cheers.
Xu Qingyi stood on the stage, smiling, nodding slightly to the people around her to express her gratitude. At this moment, she seemed like a bright star, shining brightly, and no one could match her.
"Qingyi, congratulations." Shi Tianyun walked forward and congratulated Xu Qingyi.
"Thank you." Xu Qingyi said with a smile.
"Congratulations." Wu Shang, Hua Yue and Bai Yan all came forward to congratulate Xu Qingyi.
After the medical competition came to an end, Cui Shan and Wu Chen summoned Xu Qingyi and four others.
“I called the five of you here today because I have something to tell you.
The five of you are the best of the younger generation in our two clinics.
Each of you has outstanding medical skills and medical ethics, and is no inferior to doctors who are much older than you.
The top five, fifth and fourth place winners of this medical competition will receive a reward of two thousand taels of silver and will also be able to obtain the status of a ninth-rank female doctor or medical assistant. The third and second place winners will receive a reward of three thousand taels of silver and will also be able to obtain the status of a ninth-rank trainee female doctor or medical assistant.
The winner will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver and will also be able to obtain the status of an eighth-rank doctor.
Once His Majesty approves it, the five of you will enter the palace to take up duties soon and have official ranks. In the future, we will be colleagues.
The palace is not like the outside world, and the doctors outside the palace are not as good as the imperial doctors in the palace. You are on duty in the imperial hospital. You should talk less, do more, and see more. Do not offend the nobles in the palace, and do not get involved in the palace struggles. Do you understand?" Cui Shan solemnly instructed Xu Qingyi and the other four.
"Yes, we understand." Xu Qingyi and the other four responded in unison.
"Lord Cui, when will we enter the palace to take up our duties?" Wu Shang asked at this time.
"At the earliest, it will be three days later, at the latest, it will be seven days later. I will send someone to inform you then."
After everyone said goodbye to Cui Shan and Wu Chen, Xu Qingyi, Wu Shang and others looked at each other and smiled, the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.
The five of them stood out from the medical competition and not only won generous rewards, but also got the opportunity to serve in the palace and hold official status. This was undoubtedly a major turning point in their lives.
.........
The Imperial Palace, inside the Cining Palace.
"Your son greets the Queen Mother, and greets my brother and sister-in-law." That day, Prince Xun brought Princess Xun into the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sat on a gorgeous phoenix chair, her face was kind and her eyes were filled with deep love. She gently raised her hand and motioned Prince Xun to come forward.
Prince Xun walked respectfully to the Queen Mother and bowed deeply. The Queen Mother looked at him with eyes full of love, and she said softly: "Xun'er, you are finally here. Mother has not seen you for a long time."
When Prince Xun heard this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He replied in a low voice: "I am an unfilial son and have made my mother worry."
"Forget about this ancestral rule. Let's not talk about it." The Empress Dowager glanced at the Emperor next to her and pulled Prince Xun to sit next to her.
"Royal brother, your impatience and insomnia have improved recently.
This time when you return to Beijing, you should stay for a longer time. I will ask the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital to treat you and take good care of you. You should also spend more time with your mother. "Emperor Rui'an, who was standing aside, was afraid that his mother would blame Prince Xun for not coming to the palace to pay his respects earlier, and that he would inevitably be implicated by then, so he spoke first, hoping to ease his mother's longing.
Prince Xun felt warm at heart when he heard this. He looked at his brother gratefully and replied, "Thank you for your concern, my condition has almost recovered."
"The prince's impatience and insomnia have been cured. Which highly skilled doctor cured it? Your mother must thank the doctor very much." When the Empress Dowager heard that her prince's illness that had plagued him for years was cured, she asked with a look of joy on her face.
In the early years, the Empress Dowager was so worried about Prince Xun's impatience and insomnia that her hair turned a lot white. She consulted all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital and even invited many doctors from the folk to treat the disease, but none of them were able to cure him.
Now that she knew the disease had been cured, she was naturally overjoyed.
Prince Xun smiled and replied, "My mother, when I was in Chuanshan Prefecture, I was cured by acupuncture by Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai. Together with the prescriptions they carefully prepared for me, my condition has been alleviated. In addition, I also pay attention to recuperation in my daily life, and now I have basically recovered.
Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai are both young and female doctors, and their medical skills are really amazing.
Last year, I wrote a letter of recommendation to both of them, hoping that they could enter the palace to serve in the Imperial Hospital. After the medical competition ended yesterday, Doctor Xu won the first place and Doctor Bai ranked fifth. There is no need for the letter of recommendation written by this minister. "
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "The two female doctors are really good at medicine and can cure diseases that others cannot.
If they can cure the prince's illness this time, I will definitely reward them handsomely.
Your Majesty, I heard that the winner of the medical competition can only be appointed to the rank of eighth grade at most, which is too low. Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai were able to cure Xun'er's impatience and insomnia, which shows that they are really capable. The rank of eighth grade is not worthy of them, so please don't treat them badly."
Emperor Rui'an, who was standing by, also smiled and said, "What the queen mother said is true. Doctor Xu and Madam Bai have indeed made great contributions in curing Xun's stubborn illness. I will definitely reward them generously and will definitely not treat them unfairly."
When the Queen Mother heard that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan had cured Prince Xun's stubborn illness, her eyes flickered slightly and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
The Queen Mother turned to Prince Xun again, her eyes full of love: "My son, when you return to the capital this time, please spend more time with me. I have been thinking about you all these years. Now that you have recovered from your illness, I can rest assured."
