Three days flew by in a blink.
And on the third day, the twenty-ninth of September, the Capital saw its first snowfall of the year.
After spending a whole night sitting in contemplation, Divine Doctor Ning went to meet with Emperor Kangxi.
The Qianqing Palace was quite warm, and inside Emperor Kangxi's sleeping quarters, a brass brazier on the Persian carpet burned brightly. It was covered with a Double Beast-Eared Ruyi Cover.
Faintly visible inside it was the glowing Silver Thread Charcoal.
"This humble commoner pays his respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Divine Doctor Ning knelt down, presenting an air of ease.
Emperor Kangxi naturally favoured this demeanour and said with a smile, "Come, bring a chair for the old Divine Doctor."
A Divine Doctor who is relaxed and serene in your presence is a sign that your illness is not severe. Or it may suggest that even if your ailment is serious, he is not worried as he can cure it.
