Empress Dowager Zhang arrived at Yongshou Palace earlier than the emperor.
She doesn't have a good reputation outside. She always smiles at anyone who does what she likes.
Huaixiao was pregnant before, and she sent people to take care of her in every possible way. Later, she had a miscarriage, and she showed her displeasure on the spot.
But this time it’s something special.
Doctor Tan took the pulses of Huaixiao and Huaiyan, and both of them were happy!
Zhu Houzhao was also very excited after hearing this. The two sisters entered the palace in the spring and worked hard for more than half a year to get pregnant. If there was no movement like this, let alone them, even he himself would start to doubt himself.
And with the lessons learned from the previous miscarriage, I was more careful up and down this time.
Empress Dowager Zhang transferred 40 maids and 20 eunuchs to serve only two people.
He also told Tan Yunxian: "Doctor Tan, I don't know the reason for what happened last time. It has passed and I didn't mention it. But you must not make any mistakes this time. If you need to eat something warm, you must write Write it clearly and carefully, and don’t make any mistakes or omissions.”
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will naturally understand the importance."
It's okay to be pregnant.
Mainly because Huaixiao, who had had a miscarriage, Tan Yunxian carefully took her pulse.
Then he bowed and reported back, "Your Majesty, judging from your pulse, everything is fine for both noble ladies, so there is no need to worry too much. Even the noble ladies themselves, don't let worries linger in your heart. As for the prescription to calm the fetus and nourish the mind, I will give it right away. Write."
It was about this time,
Someone shouted "The Emperor has arrived" outside.
As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Houzhao walked in quickly. After crossing the threshold, he said to Huaixiao and Huaiyan: "I knew you were going to see me. I just got pregnant, so it's better to be careful."
Then he said to Queen Mother Zhang: "I have seen the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother comes faster than the children."
"Why can't things like this happen faster?" Empress Dowager Zhang said happily, "Your Majesty, they are pregnant, and I have dispatched maids and eunuchs to take care of them. What do you think?"
"Of course I listen to my mother."
"good."
With that said, Zhu Houzhao walked up to the two people and asked, "What do you think?"
Huaixiao covered his lower abdomen with his palm and said with joy, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is fine."
"Where's Huaiyan?"
She was even more shy, "I am the same,"
"That's good."
"Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager Zhang said slowly and dignifiedly, "The Empress Dowager was thinking before that if there is good news in the palace, it would be best to order the doctor from the Women's Medical Center to stay in the palace to facilitate the treatment. What do you think?"
In the past, there was no concept of a women's hospital, so it was naturally inappropriate for the men from the Imperial Hospital to live in the harem.
However, in recent years, due to Tan Yunxian's reputation, the ladies of the capital's dignitaries have placed their trust in him and will call him in if they have the slightest illness.
As the most noble person in the world, the Queen Mother naturally thought of a 'personal doctor'. This is not surprising.
After all, royal heirs are too important. Since there are people in this field, they must be announced to the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it and said: "Although the Women's Hospital is not far away, if you want to find a doctor, you have to go in first. It's okay during the day. But at night, when the palace door is locked and you have to go out to look for someone, wouldn't it be another trouble?" ? So I thought, it would be better to ask Dr. Tan to stay in the palace so that he can diagnose at any time."
When Huaixiao and Huaiyan heard this, their eyes couldn't help showing a look of expectation. Mainly due to previous miscarriage experience. With a doctor by my side, I can feel more at ease.
But Doctor Tan and her two disciples' expressions were calm and unchanged.
"Doctor Tan..." Zhu Houzhao said to the Empress Dowager Zhang in a consultative tone, "Mother, Doctor Tan is the backbone of the Women's Medical Clinic. If he keeps her living in the palace, the medical clinic will not be able to open, and then the capital will also have to It's a bit chaotic. But what the Queen Mother said makes sense. Things inside and outside the palace will always waste time. Smiles and facial expressions always need to be cared for by the surrounding people. If not, please ask Dr. Tan's disciples to stay. They have followed Dr. Tan for many years. His medical skills are superb and he is competent enough to do the job even if he thinks about it.”
Fortunately for Xin Hui, whether she is the emperor or the queen mother, her stay or stay is a matter of will.
But Kui'er's mind couldn't help but move.
Queen Mother Zhang nodded slightly, "That's fine. But only two people are a bit too little. At least add two more people."
Zhu Houzhao thought that it was so exaggerated. One doctor was enough, and pregnant women had to do a lot of work, so he guessed that Xin Hui and Kui'er didn't have much time to spare in the palace.
"Mother, you need to rest for the birth, so why do you need so many doctors? Doctor Tan, please say a few words and let the Queen Mother take care of her worries."
"Yes. Queen Mother, I have been with these two disciples for ten years. Unless there are difficult and complicated diseases, there is nothing that cannot be cured. Although they are not famous doctors in the world, there should be nothing wrong with each of them serving the same doctor."
Queen Mother Zhang glanced behind Tan Yunxian,
One is average, the other has tender, young and firm skin.
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. The two doctors are here, so you won't be afraid."
"Then...okay." Empress Dowager Zhang originally thought it would be best if Yun Xian could come to the palace, but now that's all she can do.
After the arrangements are made, everyone goes about their work.
Xin Hui and Kui'er went back to prepare. According to the decree, they had to enter the palace as soon as possible.
The emperor made the decision, and the side room on the east side of Yongshou Palace was cleared for the two of them to live in. Originally, there were people in it, but the doctor had to live close by, otherwise there would be no point in asking someone to stay in the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't bother her anymore. She probably wanted to go back to burn incense and worship Buddha. It would be best if both noble people could have a fat boy.
As for the people transferred outside Yongshou Palace, they were ordered to pack their things by Jin Ying, the servant who was always driven by Huaixiao.
In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, only the emperor and two nobles remained.
What else needs to be said at this time, Huaixiao and Huaiyan leaned on Zhu Houzhao's shoulders.
"...Doctor Tan is indeed a famous doctor. He told you not to be depressed, and it really worked. From now on, you two will be just like that day."
When mentioning that day, the sisters dared not look at each other.
They didn't drink to the point where they were drunk. Although they were excited by the alcohol, they didn't forget any details. When they thought about it afterwards, they just felt really embarrassed.
"Your Majesty..." He said with a smile in his ear: "My concubine and my sister are pregnant. They are pregnant for ten months, but for a while they will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty."
As soon as he said these words, Zhu Houzhao felt Huaiyan's head rub back and forth on his neck several times.
"Let's drink together in front of each other, and hug each other by the nephrite lamp. How can I bear to do it? It took a lot of effort to get you to be less restrained. Alas."
"Your Majesty remembers the 'light wine' that day." Huaiyan raised his head, with shame in his eyes.
"No, I still remember the nephrite in my arms that day."
Under Zhu Houzhao's unique skill, the two little girls teased him so coquettishly and shyly that even Huayan, who was always introverted and reserved, could not help but gasp loudly.
That night, the emperor stayed in the Yongshou Palace.
Because the wedding is approaching,
After the wedding, the queen was decided.
There is no place for equality inside and outside the palace. It is impossible for him to welcome a queen back to the palace, and as a result, he rarely goes there.
In fact, he should help the queen maintain her status.
Equality and fraternity are not the values here, order of superiority and inferiority is.
Once he dotes on another person too much, someone will overshadow the queen.
If there is no order between respect and inferiority, chaos will inevitably arise.
So just cherish the little time you have.
Xin Hui and Kui'er from the medical center did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately moved to Yongshou Palace.
With your will, you have to put aside your emotions of whether you are comfortable with it or not, and whether you are willing or not.
The two of them were busy and exhausted, but when they got to bed, their eyes were still wide open.
"...Junior sister, can't you sleep?"
"Um."
"I heard... His Majesty is staying at the Yongshou Palace. Do you think we should remind...?"
Kui'er asked in a low voice: "What are you reminding me of?"
"It's just that the two nobles are unhappy and cannot have sex at this time."
"ah……"
This is a problem.
"But Lao'e in this palace will definitely tell me, right? Moreover, Your Majesty must also know that Mr. Xiao was pregnant before."
Xin Hui wasn't sure.
"Since you know, why stay overnight?"
How could Kui'er know?
Xin Hui thought more and more something was wrong, "Even if I can't do that, what if I can't help it?"
"Someone is coming."
When they were talking quietly, they suddenly heard someone calling softly outside.
It was a female voice, very soft and soft.
It should be Yan Guiren.
Kui'er wanted to speak, but Xin Hui hurriedly stopped her, "Shh! Listen,"
There was a squeak,
The palace door seemed to be opened.
Then someone walked in.
It's Jin Ying.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
No one could be seen in the cicada silk tent, only sounds could be heard.
"Get some warm water, not too hot, not too cold. Hurry up."
It was indeed Huaiyan who was speaking. Her voice was as soft as jade and very pleasant to the ear.
"yes."
In the side room.
Xin Hui said, "It's over."
"What's over?"
"We're just staying the night. If you're still up so late, what do you think...are you doing?"
Kui'er thought for a moment, but as soon as she thought about it, her whole face turned red.
"Junior sister, you have to choose a time to talk to His Majesty tomorrow."
"Why did I say that?" Kui'er's grip on Xin Hui's arm suddenly tightened, because her heart also tightened.
Xin Hui pretended to be calm, "Junior sister, you have to listen to me. Of course it's you who says it."
In fact, she was too embarrassed to go, so she could only bully her junior sister.
Poor Kui'er's status is not as good as others, so she can only bite the bullet and go.
In the morning of the second period, the emperor got up quite early, but the palace maids and eunuchs got up even earlier. These people had to serve him in changing clothes and eating. When he went out, he found that Xin Hui and Kui'er were already there.
The emperor looked over, but Kui'er avoided his eyes.
Xin Hui bumped Kui'er's hand secretly, and then excused herself to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is going to boil the medicine right now, so as not to miss the time."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, said nothing else, and then slowly approached, "Looking at the expressions of the two of you, it seems that you have something to say?"
Kui'er grabbed her hands together and squeezed them unconsciously, and the words were brewing in her throat.
