Chapter 1354

When the courtiers heard Duke Ning's words, they all opened up a path for him.

Duke Ning personally pushed Gu Qingze over to his seat and said to Gu Qingze with a smile, "Divine doctor Gu, is it alright if you sit next to this duke?"

His seat was right under the princess Zhao Rong and it could be said that other than the royal family, it was the most distinguished and conspicuous seat in the hall. It was only a step away from Chen Ning's seat, so it could be seen that he had an important position in the court.

Gu Qingze gave a slight nod and did not have any objections, "That's fine."

Duke Ning revealed a look of joy. He never thought that Gu Qingze's attitude towards him would be this different. He was cold and indifferent to the ministers around him, but the way he spoke to him could be considered kind.

He immediately turned to the eunuchs and shouted, "Why aren't you preparing the best tableware for the divine doctor Gu and bringing out the best wine and fruits!"

The eunuchs and palace maids didn't dare to be negligent. They immediately brought over a table carved from a whole piece of red sandalwood. The cups, plates, and bowls that were brought up were also completely different from those of the ministers. It could be said that they enjoyed the same highest treatment as Duke Ning.

Duke Ning picked up the wine jug and personally poured a cup of wine for Gu Qingze.

Gu Qingze sat in the chair and his lips curled up as he revealed a faint smile.

"I, Gu Qingze, am just a commoner with no official duties, but the duke is an important minister of the country with a high position. You are below one person and above tens of thousands of people, but the duke is personally pouring wine for this commoner. How could this commoner dare accept this?"

Chen Ning found that his mouth was just being modest, but he did not even lift his butt from the chair and did not have any intentions of standing up to receive the wine cup.

That carefree appearance almost made her break out in laughter.

Xiao Ru couldn't hold it in and gave a "ge" laugh.

When Duke Ning heard this laugh, his face turned dark and he glared at Xiao Ru. But in front of Gu Qingze, he couldn't be angry right now. He pretended not to hear it and the smile on his face did not decrease at all.

"The divine doctor Gu is too polite. The divine doctor's medical skills are number one in the world and everyone respects him. Being able to pour a cup of wine for the divine doctor Gu is this duke's honour. This is a fine wine that has been stored in the palace for several decades. It is not something normal people can taste and it is very mellow. Doctor Gu, please have a taste. "

He saw that Gu Qingze did not have any intentions of raising the cup, so he personally picked up the wine cup and placed it in front of Gu Qingze.

This action made all the ministers click their tongues.

God! How much face did he have to enjoy such treatment from Duke Ning? This ancient divine doctor was really amazing!

However, Gu Qingze raised his hand and blocked the wine cup that Duke Ning had brought to his face.

He said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your kind intentions, High Duke, but I don't drink alcohol."

Duke Ning's face stiffened, and his hand that was holding the wine cup stopped in the air. He didn't know whether he should pass it forward or withdraw it.

"Ning is Ning is, Ning is, Ning is Ning is is, he is is is, and is, Ning is.

"High Duke, please don't misunderstand. I practice medicine and never touch alcohol. This is because my hand holding the needle will be unstable after drinking, and I won't be able to perform acupuncture on the patient."

Gu Qingze looked at him and then said in a soft voice.

Duke Ning's heart calmed down and he laughed as he said, "So it's like this. Someone, quickly take away the wine and replace it with the best fruit juice!"

The ministers all revealed a knowing smile.
