PS: Sorry, dear audience. This chapter had been missed. Now, he would make up for it. I'll adjust my position.
Hu Ji gave birth to a prince for Ying Zheng, and both mother and son were safe and sound. Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
He immediately decided to celebrate the child's one-month-old birthday with the whole world and hold a banquet for the officials.
Even Ying Zheng's eldest son, Fu Su, had never enjoyed such treatment.
It was enough to show how much Ying Zheng loved this child and Hu Ji.
As soon as the news of the banquet was released, rumors immediately spread in the palace.
For example, the King of Qin wanted to make Hu Ji his queen and his son Hu Hai his crown prince.
However, what spread even more widely was that Xu Fu had been promoted again.
He was promoted from the Imperial Physician Deputy to the Imperial Physician Order, and was in charge of all the imperial physicians in the palace.
From a department employee, he had become the head of the department.
Yes, in the past year, Xu Fu's various tricks had made him the star of the entire State of Qin.
He solved Hu Ji's infertility, delivered Han Ji's child, predicted the Han Country's land donation, and finally, successfully made the King of Qin happily become a father again.
It could be said that this year belonged to Xu Fu.
Many people even began to believe that Xu Fu was really a god who had descended to the mortal world and brought good fortune to the Qin country.
He believed that as long as Xu Fu was around, the Qin Country would definitely have good weather and prosperity.
These words had unknowingly reached Zhao Gao's ears.
Zhao Gao expressed his disdain.
If he had not brought Xu Fu into the palace, Xu Fu would still be working as a barefoot doctor in the countryside.
Not to mention the imperial physician order, he did not even have a small salary.
As for the matter of Xu Fu dissing Zhao Gao, there was not much news among the people, but almost everyone in the officialdom knew about it.
Among the officials, Li Si was the happiest.
Banquets during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were different from those in modern times. The custom of using a large table only began in China after the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in the banquet hall, everyone had a small table in front of them, filled with all kinds of food and wine.
The king of Qin toasted his ministers. After saying a few words, everyone could move around freely.
As the saying went, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Li Si had always been at odds with Zhao Gao. Now that Xu Fu had publicly rebuked him, Li Si immediately felt that he was on the same side as Xu Fu.
Thus, on the night of Young Master Huhai's one-month-old banquet, Li Si took the initiative to bring a wine glass to Xu Fu.
Of course, Xu Fu was already surrounded by people.
"Congratulations, Lord Xu." Gongzi Zeng, Ying Zheng's fifth child, was one of the princes who were most eager to curry favor with Xu Fu.
He was not outstanding in any aspect, so he knew very well that he would not be able to gain Ying Zheng's attention by relying on ordinary means.
Only by making connections could he maintain a certain status in the future when his father grew old.
Since ancient times, the imperial family had always been like this, a zero-sum game where the winner took all.
Ying Zheng had many children, so the competition was naturally more intense and chaotic.
"Thank you, thank you." Although Xu Fu recognized Gong ZiZeng, he didn't have much of an impression of him.
The main reason was that there were too many people who wanted to get to know him and he could not remember them all.
"I heard that Lord Xu has the Heaven's Divination Art and the ability to predict the future. I really want to see it.
I wonder why Lord Xu is free? To be able to make this subordinate hold a banquet at home to properly entertain Lord Xu.”
Xu Fu smiled and nodded." Alright, alright. I'll definitely pay you a visit if there's a chance."”
In fact, he really didn't know if he would pay a visit. It was just a formality. It wasn't good to reject others in person.
At that moment, Li Si was about to say something when he was blocked by the enthusiastic Gongzi Zeng, spilling half the glass of wine in his hand.
He sprinkled it on Gong ZiZeng's body. Gong ZiZeng was unhappy." Hey! What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Si quickly apologized.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Li Si?”Xu Fu was happy to see Li Si.
Although he knew that Li Si was not a good person and that burning the books and burying the scholars was his idea.
However, his biggest enemy at the moment was Zhao Gao. As the saying went, the enemy of an enemy was a friend.
Li Si had never been on good terms with Zhao Gao. Later on, after Qin Shihuang passed away, Li Si was framed by Zhao Gao and his three clans were destroyed. It could be said that they could not live under the same sky.
Xu Fu planned to make use of Li Si to suppress Zhao Gao. Thus, he took a step forward and put his arm around Li Si's shoulder.
Gongzi Zeng noticed this and his attitude toward Li Si changed 180 degrees.
"Lord Li, I accidentally spilled your wine just now…Come, I'll refill it for you.”
Li Si held the wine glass with trembling hands. As he accepted the wine, his eyes darted from Young Master Zeng to the wine glass.
"Lord Xu, Lord Li, come, let's drink together.”Gongzi Zeng drank it all in one gulp.
As for Xu Fu, he clinked glasses with Li Si again to show that he was paying attention to him.
This made Li Si overjoyed. Could it be that Lord Xu also liked to study calligraphy? Did my plaque really work?
Haha, Li Si might not know that modern doctors 'calligraphy is much wilder than yours.
On the main stage, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the middle, and Hu Ji, who was sitting on the side, had a clear view of everything that was happening in the hall.
Both of them noticed that Xu Fu's place seemed to be very lively, but the way they looked in the same direction was different.
