A lot of major events happened in Dajin this year, each of which can make that year different, but these events all happened together this year.
First, Hou Ji's rebellion and murder of the prince involved Prince Gong, which broke the situation of fighting between dragons and tigers. Prince Gong was imprisoned in the palace, and the prince temporarily won.
Then the crown princess, who had been infertile for many years, became pregnant, and it was rumored that the crown prince's infertility had been cured.
Then the crown princess gave birth to the child safely, but because of Xu Yu, the various families were involved. Now every family has to take a step back in the face of the royal family, for fear that the royal family will tear their skin.
It is true that it would be difficult for the emperor to tear his skin apart and defeat the various alliances, but in the same way, the various alliances can't even think about it.
So even if it is a quiet corner, some old ladies who don't come to the capital often can't help but come to the capital this year for the winter solstice.
Of course, they all found good reasons to congratulate the empress and the prince and concubine.
No matter what everyone thinks about the East Palace, everyone is very harmonious on the surface. When they see the queen, they pour out good words as if they don't want money. It's a matter of universal celebration for a prince to have a son...
I heard that the little emperor's grandson is very smart, and he looks like a filial child...
Although there is no direct relationship between being smart and being filial.
Man Bao picked Dr. Liu up to the apse of the Tai Chi Hall early in the morning, and was sitting in the side hall drinking tea and taking a nap.
She got up a little early today.
Hearing the lively sound from the main hall, Man Bao raised his eyelids and looked out. Seeing that no one came to call her, he continued to sit cross-legged on the big chair covered with mattresses and closed his eyes to rest.
Dr. Liu sat aside, tense, she was tense for a while, but when she turned her head and saw that Master seemed to be asleep, she was speechless for a while.
From time to time, Man Bao opened a slit and looked outside. When she saw her apprentice looking at her, she said: "You got up earlier than me, so you should take a close look. I heard that there are many people here today."
Doctor Liu said: "Master, I'm not tired, why don't I check things?"
Man Bao took a look at the medicine box she brought, and simply put down his legs and put on his shoes, "Bring me the medicine box and let me see, how many trocars did you bring?"
Doctor Liu said: "I followed your order and applied for ten sets with the Imperial Medical Office."
Man Bao nodded, "The needles used in the future must be boiled before being sent back to the Imperial Medical Office."
After checking there was nothing wrong with them, they continued to sit in the side hall and waited for a while before being called over.
The queen also finished greeting them, and was talking about the newly opened Imperial Medical Office, because most of the old ladies and wives present here have put someone in the Imperial Medical Office, so they know about it.
The queen said: "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager think of the hard work of the old ladies. For many years, they have given birth to children for the ministers of the country and took care of the housework. They are suffering from many illnesses, so today they specially ordered Imperial Physician Zhou and her apprentice Doctor Liu to show everyone."
Except for Princess Gaomi, Mrs. Cui and several other old ladies who had never seen Zhou Man, everyone else had seen her and even invited her to see a doctor. They didn't feel much about it, they just bowed slightly Thanks to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Mrs. Cui had heard about this doctor Zhou, so when Zhou Man led Dr. Liu into the palace, she couldn't help but look over.
Man Bao and Dr. Liu put down the medicine box, first saluted to the queen, and then saluted to the old lady and the wives sitting in the hall.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Yang Hou was also there.
Even if the Yang family is implicated now and needs to live in a low-key manner, she is also Yang's clan wife, Mrs. Hou, so the queen summoned all the wives, and she was among them.
When she saw Zhou Man, she lowered her eyes and didn't intend to let her see a doctor.
The Queen excused Zhou Man's gift, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, please take the pulse of all the ladies."
After Man Bao answered, he looked at the wives and saw that everyone responded, so he planned to look at the back from the front.
Princess Gaomi took a look at the queen and said, "Doctor Zhou, come and show me first?"
Man Bao responded with a smile, and took Doctor Liu to ask Princess Gaomi for pulse.
Of course, it is impossible to talk about very private illnesses in the public. Man Bao is also very interesting, and most of the things he talks about are common illnesses and usual precautions.
For example, "Is it difficult for the princess to fall asleep at night? Usually she is a little thirsty and feels that drinking enough water is not enough?"
Princess Gaomi thought it was very strange and nodded repeatedly, and then Manbao would give her some precautions. If she didn't need to change clothes, but only needed to get needles on hands, feet, head, neck and other places that could be exposed, she would give her a few needles.
These old ladies are much older than the queen, and they are full of children and grandchildren, so naturally there are many problems on their bodies.
Just not to mention gynecological diseases, there are many common diseases in the elderly alone.
Anyway, I asked for the Ping An pulse today, but I didn’t look at it carefully. I just picked up some common symptoms and mentioned them, and then got some needles. One or two hints, let the other party go out and then ask the doctor to take a look.
Of course, it's okay if they come to invite her.
Man Bao took Dr. Liu to look down from the top. Once the disease was described, she was accurate and thoughtful. Even Mrs. Cui, who was a little contemptuous at the beginning, couldn't help but give Zhou Man a serious look.
The queen bowed her head and drank her tea, very satisfied with this.
She gave Zhou the opportunity, but she had to seize it.
Many old ladies had a better impression of Zhou Man, and old lady Lu even took her hand and said with a smile: "When you go out of the palace someday, come to my house when you have time, my eldest granddaughter-in-law is also pregnant, I think I want you to show her."
The queen laughed and said, "Madam Lu is the second great-grandson, right?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, "Yes, the first one is a great-granddaughter. I wonder if I can have a great-grandson this time."
The queen laughed and said: "Bloom first and then bear fruit. The more flowers bloom in the front, the more fruit will bear later."
"That's the reason. If it's a great-granddaughter, the two sisters are perfect companions."
Man Bao also agreed with a smile, and then went to ask the next old lady for pulse.
Dr. Liu has been keeping an eye on the time, guessing that the time is almost up, so she goes to pull out the needle or turn the needle for the lady whose time is up.
With the cooperation of the master and the apprentice, the speed is still very fast. Although there are many wives, they still finished watching before noon.
The queen was very satisfied, she nodded and let Zhou Man back down.
Mrs. Cui laughed and said, "I don't know if the female doctors raised by the Imperial Medical Office will have the skills of Imperial Doctor Zhou in the future."
The queen laughed and said, "They were also taught by Zhou imperial physicians and other imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. Ben Gong thought, among them there must be those who are better than blue."
And Man Bao, who walked out of the main hall, exhaled and said: "I still like to see a doctor one by one. In this way, many questions can't be asked in the public."
Doctor Liu asked: "Master, I see that you have been taking Mrs. Cui's pulse for a long time. Is there any problem with her?"
Man Bao lowered his voice and said: "I'm not sure, I think she has bruises that haven't disappeared, and her pulse condition is a bit bad. Unfortunately, she put on powder today, and her complexion can't be seen."
