Chapter 80 Lin'er
The second reason is that He Xi believed in Dai Yuanli.
He Xi had not been in contact with Dai Yuanli for too long. But he already knew Dai Yuanli's character and medical skills very well. Apart from anything else, since Dai Yuanli said it was okay, it must be okay. There will be no discounts. It's really risky. It will also be explained in advance. It is completely different from the previous imperial doctors who pretended to be peaceful.
Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang had the imperial physician executed because of the death of Empress Ma. Because of the death of Cao Guogong, Huai'an Hou Huazhong was implicated, and so on, there are countless people who killed the doctor. But only Dai Yuanli could serve Zhu Yuanzhang until the last moment and escape from the Hongwu court intact.
This is certainly Zhu Yuanzhang's love.
But why Zhu Yuanzhang was harsh to other doctors and so generous to Dai Yuanli was because Dai Yuanli was trustworthy.
Therefore, Dai Yuanli said that there is no problem with cowpox, there must be no problem.
The third reason is that father and son love their son and plan for the long term.
He Xi hasn't become a father yet, but he is already making long-term plans for his children. He wanted his children to inherit his knowledge and inherit the He family's family education, thereby continuing the He family's power or knowledge system. It doesn't matter whether you are an official or a scholar.
He Xi is still very tolerant of children.
But He Xi had to think about one thing, what if the child couldn't do anything?
After all, He Xi himself is not a very smart person. Many things are learned little by little. Without the knowledge system of later generations, without Zhu Yuanzhang’s efforts to cultivate. Where can He Xi be today? He cannot force his child to be an outstanding person.
As the saying goes, the virtuous are also my children, and the unvirtuous are also my children. Parents always have to find a way for their children. Although He Xi's achievements and status as Princess Anqing are enough for the child to be a wealthy and idle person for the rest of his life. But He Xi always felt that it was not enough.
Because it is better to let the children have some achievements.
What kind of merit is at your fingertips? It’s the merit in front of you. In order to win the trust of the world, the child personally tested cowpox.
The risk is definitely smaller than imagined.
But this one thing can not only win the trust of the world, but also make everyone remember the child's name. This one thing alone is enough to feed a child for half his life.
Dai Yuanli didn't know what He Xi was thinking, but he was moved by Dai Yuanli's trust. Said: "Aren't you worried that something will happen to your child?"
He Xi said: "With Divine Doctor Dai here, what can happen?"
Dai Yuanli said: "Okay. But it won't work if you are just born, at least until the full moon. Don't worry, if something happens, I will use my life to pay for it."
He Xi said: "Don't worry, I will inform the official newspaper when the time comes and let the entire Ming Dynasty know about this."
Dai Yuanli whispered: "How can the princess agree?"
He Xi was unsure. Although he knew Princess Anqing, he was not sure what Princess Anqing would do. However, he must not show it outside. He said calmly: "A woman knows how to deal with important matters. I make the decision at home."
As soon as the words fell, a scream suddenly came. The palace maids inside entered like running water, sent basins of hot water in, and took out bloody cloth strips one by one.
Seeing that He Xi was extremely nervous, it felt like there was a spring under his buttocks. He couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and paced back and forth. It felt like there were nails under my feet, and I didn't dare to touch the ground, so I could only walk back and forth.
Looking left and right, I wanted to rush into the delivery room.
Dai Yuanli burst into laughter upon seeing this. There is no trace of the temperament he had just bragging about. There was only one monkey whose soles were burned by the fire. Dai Yuanli said: "Okay, don't worry, I have already said that the birth will be smooth and very soon."
He Xi was still restless and said, "How do you know?"
Dai Yuanli was absolutely confident in his medical skills. Said: "Just my name is Dai Yuanli."
When He Xi didn't know how to refute, there was suddenly a loud cry of a baby, as if to prove Dai Yuanli's words. Starting back and forth, it is only enough for one stick of incense, which is more than ten or twenty minutes in the future. Compared with those who have difficult labor. Staying up for a few hours, or even a day and a night, couldn't be more smooth.
Dai Yuanli twirled his beard slightly and said: "I have said before that Princess Anqing's pulse is very good. The fetal position is very correct. Although it is the first pregnancy, it will go smoothly. Why don't you believe it?"
He Xi did not believe it, but he was not listening.
Almost He Xi heard the cry of the child, and his whole body seemed to be pierced by electricity for an instant. The whole person was stunned on the spot, with only an expression on his face and an unintelligible giggle. The whole person was immersed in his own joy. What did Dai Yuanli say? Sorry, did Dai Yuanli speak?
He Xi didn't care at all.
He rushed in immediately.
This aroused fierce opposition from some palace maids and even Queen Ma. Nothing else, because women's menstrual blood is not intense. And seeing red in the delivery room is even more unlucky.
However, He Xi didn't care about this. Even if Queen Ma is used to stop it, it can't be stopped.
------
In the delivery room, He Xi held the baby and giggled.
This child hasn't grown up yet and is extremely ugly. His face was full of pain. It was as if the old age wrinkles from the previous life had been brought over. He Xi suddenly realized that his child was extremely beautiful. After all, beauties are in the eyes of lovers, and talents are in the eyes of parents. No, not only talents, but also handsome boys and princesses.
In short, in the eyes of parents, there is no better young man in the world than their own son.
He Xi was immersed in this emotion at the moment.
Princess Anqing gave birth smoothly and was not too tired. At this moment, looking at the child and the child's father, my heart is filled with happiness.
When Queen Ma saw this, she sighed in her heart, feeling that Princess Anqing had finally married the right person. Except for He Xi, who would come to see Princess Anqing regardless of the so-called good or bad luck. And except for He Xi, that consort He Xi was as clean and self-respecting as ever. There is no one outside.
Queen Ma waved her hand and said, "Let's all go out. Let the young couple talk."
For a time, Princess Anqing and He Xi surrounded the child, talking endlessly.
They kept talking until the child was hungry, cried loudly for a while, and then Princess Anqing fed the child and then put the child to sleep.
He Xi's heart moved and she thought to herself: "Some things must be said." He Xi carefully told Princess Anqing the agreement between him and Dai Yuanli. In order to make Princess Anqing understand, the reasons and reasons were broken into pieces, rubbed apart, and explained to Princess Anqing.
In fact, although Princess Anqing is naive, she grew up in such an environment in the palace and is the daughter of Queen Ma. It is impossible for her to know nothing about politics.
Princess Anqing understands what He Xi said.
She is a princess now. But if the prince's eldest brother comes to the throne, she will be the eldest princess, and if the nephew comes to the throne, she will be the eldest princess. It can be said that her status has been determined the moment she was born. This is determined based on her Zhu family bloodline.
But her son's surname is not Zhu, and he is far from the royal bloodline. The grandson is one floor away.
It will only slowly fade away from the center of power.
This is why many princess families are keen to marry their daughters to the emperor, because only by transforming themselves into relatives can they maintain wealth for a longer period of time. However, Princess Anqing would not do this. On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow it. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very much with the principle of marrying the Queen of Ming Dynasty from a private family. He decided to do this in the future.
The reason is the future, not the present.
That's because the current vassal princes are getting married and have many functions to appease their ministers. It is not a completely peaceful period.
Another reason is that Princess Anqing knew the consequences of incest marriage and naturally did not want the Ming Emperor to become a laughing stock like Emperor Sima Hui. That was not only a disaster for the country, but also a disaster for the Zhu family and the He family.
Therefore, He Xi tried to find a way to give her children a halo at a young age. Vaccinium will be promoted more widely in the future. The greater the influence. The child's reputation will become more famous.
Intellectually, there's nothing wrong with this.
What a pity, woman, your name is just irrational. Even Princess Anqing, who has a gentle and elegant personality, is like this. She had just narrowly escaped death and gave birth to a child. She hadn't even relaxed for a moment. You actually told me this?
How could Princess Anqing not be furious?
