The Qiqiao Festival is also called the Qixi Festival in the Great Wei Dynasty. The Qiqiao Festival was spread from the Wei Dynasty to the surrounding countries of the Wei Dynasty, including the Beirong Kingdom.
Moreover, it has been introduced to Beirong Kingdom for a long time, hundreds of years ago.
Most of the Qiqiao Festival in Wei Dynasty is attended by young girls, and it is the girls' favorite festival. However, it has been improved since it was passed to Beibei, and it is one of the most important festivals in the royal harem every year.
It is also one of the most anticipated festivals for the noble women of Beirong, because this day is the only day that they can enter the palace to meet the empress and participate in the Qiqiao Festival held by the empress regardless of their status.
It's just that Beirong's Qiqiao Festival is actually not much similar to Da Wei's Qiqiao Festival.
Because be it the Beibei girls or young wives, in this Qiqiao Festival, let them participate in the activities they are best at. Such as archery, such as weaving blankets, such as Cuju, such as cooking...
But the premise is that there are concubines in the harem who can host the Qiqiao Festival.
Bei Rong has not held the Qiqiao Festival since the last few years of the first emperor's reign, and it has not been held within a year of Huangfu Mu's administration, so it has been five years since the Qiqiao Festival was held.
But this year, Beirong had a queen empress, and this empress who was born in the Great Wei finally held the Beirong Royal Family Qiqiao Festival after five years.
In fact, Lin Fufu didn't put much effort into organizing the Qiqiao Festival at all. Huangfujin gave an order, and the palace began to prepare for the Qiqiao Festival in an orderly manner, and she was just talking about it.
She knew very well in her heart that Qiqiao Festival would not be peaceful on this day.
On this day, the carriages of the female family members who entered the palace drove towards the Imperial City Avenue in an endless stream. Some noble ladies abandoned the carriages and rode forward in order to be unique. It's just that no matter whether you are in a carriage or on a horse, you have to get down at the gate of the palace and enter the palace in an orderly manner under the guidance of the servants.
The Beirong Imperial City was also bustling with excitement because of the Qiqiao Festival held in the palace.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the rerun of the Qiqiao Festival after five years is the arrival of the real Guotai Minan, and it is also a manifestation of the real stability of the Beirong political situation. Naturally, it will be more lively and lively.
Inside the palace.
The Qiqiao Festival is held in Tai'an Hall.
Gospel Lin had already gone to Tai'an Hall early in the morning.
As a queen, she naturally didn't have to entertain the ladies of these officials' families in person, but she just recruited more than a dozen princesses and county masters from the royal family's offshoots from the Beirong royal family to entertain them.
And then, that's already a high specification.
She herself sat in the main hall to receive the old ladies and wives who brought their juniors to the palace to participate in the Qiqiao Festival.
At this time, several old concubines of the side branches, wives of high-ranking officials and noble families gathered together, holding the empress empress in open faces, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
"The empress's medical skills are really superb. Last time, she was fortunate enough to personally treat and prescribe the medicine for the minister's wife. After taking the medicine according to the empress's prescription, the minister's body and bones are indeed much healthier!" An old princess stood up tremblingly and said Lin Fufu gave a big gift, and then apologized, "Because I have been drinking medicine to recuperate my body for the past few days, I didn't go into the palace to thank my mother in person. It's really rude!"
Lin Fufu stretched out his hand to help, and said with a warm smile, "You don't need to be too polite, the old concubine, as long as you are in good health."
Several other old princesses who were prescribed medicine by Lin Fufu also thanked them with big gifts, and Lin Fufu comforted them one by one.
These old concubines collectively took advantage of today to thank her, and publicly mentioned that she prescribed medicine for them and alleviated or cured their illnesses. Naturally, it was not as simple as simply thanking her.
Sure enough, the complexions of the noble ladies who had been treated by Lin Fufu but did not prescribe any medicine changed one after another when they saw this.
Lin Fufu glanced at the faces of those people calmly, and smiled slightly, but the sarcasm in his eyes did not restrain himself.
This is the purpose of these old concubines, deliberately using their recovery or improvement to provoke, so as to create a drama between Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf.
It's just to disappoint some people. She is not the kind and kind Mr. Dong Guo. These old concubines are not even qualified to be old and weak old wolves.
"Several old concubines came together to thank me, which moved me very much! Speaking of which, I am a junior, and these old concubines are also like the ancestors of the royal family. Since they are the elders of their own parents, I feel that I am a It is right for the elders to take the risk of prescribing the medicine. Even if the treatment effect is not good, the elders will naturally not complain about this palace. How many elders say yes?" Lin Fufu looked at the old princesses with a smile and asked softly.
Several old concubines naturally bowed up and responded yes in such an occasion, and also thanked the empress for treating them as their own elders.
But they don't think so in their hearts.
Everyone felt that the empress was too young, and her words and deeds were too impeccable.
The net they cast with great difficulty was shattered in a few words by her.
And those ladies who had been treated by Lin Fufu but didn't prescribe the medicine, after hearing the words, they had different thoughts in their hearts.
On the contrary, Mrs. Right stood up and bowed to Lin Fufu, and said pointedly: "The empress's medical skills are unparalleled, and I admire them very much. Even my wife is fortunate to be seen by my empress! My wife I am also very grateful to the empress, but the empress asked the minister's wife to take the pulse case to find other doctors to prescribe a prescription, but the minister's wife asked the imperial doctor in the palace, and they did not dare to prescribe a prescription for the minister's wife! "
As soon as Mrs. Right finished speaking, the noble ladies who followed her stood up and echoed one after another.
Under the wink of Mrs. Right, some bolder ladies have openly expressed the hope that Lin Fufu can also prescribe medicine for them.
This is clearly the prelude to a good show.
For example, the noble ladies of Mrs. Zuo Xiang sat quietly and watched the show.
Mrs. Right followed suit, looked at Lin Fufu and said, "Empress, the courtiers also dare to ask the empress to speak for the women who have that unspeakable disease, and hope that the empress can speak for us. People who suffer from illnesses can prescribe a prescription!"
Lin Fufu glanced at Mrs. Right, and asked gently: "Mrs. Right, I just heard what you said. You have invited the imperial doctor in the palace to treat you. What did the imperial doctor say?"
Mrs. Right's eyes flickered. Fortunately, she had already invited the imperial physician to treat her. Otherwise, she really couldn't answer the queen's questions!
"Reporting to the empress, the imperial doctor said that the pulse case of my wife was diagnosed by a doctor who is proficient in gynecology. He is not good at gynecology, so he dare not prescribe the medicine. Let the wife find a doctor who is good at treating women. The doctor's prescription is the best!" Mrs. Right replied.
She snorted coldly in her heart, this means that the imperial physician with the highest medical skills in Beibei can't do anything about it, so if the empress doesn't prescribe a prescription, she will just wait for someone to poke her back!
Seeing that Mrs. Youxiang had finally made a move, everyone held their breaths and stared at Lin Fufu sitting on the high seat from the corner of their eyes.
In the past, most of these people must have read jokes, but now that they have seen the empress' methods, they don't dare to read jokes anymore. They just want to see how the empress accepts Mrs. Right's move.
Lin Fufu's eyebrows were bright, and he glanced at Mrs. Youxiang lightly, and pondered slightly: "Madam Youxiang, I know that I am very good at women's subjects, but every size counts. If it is not suitable, it is not suitable. Mrs. Right is willing, but I can recommend some great doctors Wei who are good at women's subjects for you or the ladies."
Mrs. Right's face instantly turned cinnabar upon hearing this. She had already made such a request publicly, but the empress still refused her!
It's really disrespectful to her!
Not only that, but she also solved her difficulties once and for all... What if she really transferred some doctors who are good at women's department from Da Wei
Not only Mrs. Right, but also Mrs. Zuo's faction's expressions changed one after another.
If Mrs. Youxiang's ultimate move was solved so easily by the empress, how would the next good show start
Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Officials have already begun to think about other countermeasures.
Lin Fufu saw Mrs. Right's face as ugly as eating a fly, the corners of her lips curved slightly, turned the lid of the teacup, and said calmly: "Actually, I also have something to do during today's begging festival. The wives of a minister are about to make an announcement."
Everyone looked up at her.
Seeing this, Lin Fufu nodded slightly, and smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, the matter I want to announce is also related to the ladies."
All the wives raised their ears when they heard the words, their expressions were dignified and nervous, and they didn't know what Lin Fufu's plan was.
"My palace wants to set up a school in Beirong that specializes in teaching medical skills. We will invite experienced old doctors from the Great Wei Dynasty to be masters and professors. Beirong people who are willing to come to the school to learn medical skills, regardless of age, as long as they are willing to learn or have talent and good moral character Anyone can do it. His Majesty has already agreed to this matter, and has sent people to prepare the school. I also hope that the ladies will help publicize it, even if the ladies or servants of the ladies or relatives want to learn It's also possible." Lin Fufu glanced at the bewildered crowd, and finally emphasized, "Of course, no matter if they are ordinary people or noble ladies, they must be of good moral character to enter!"
"Empress... what do you mean?" Mrs. Zuo Xiang pursed her lips and looked at Lin Fufu suspiciously.
Lin Fufu smiled, "Madam Zuoxiang, didn't what I just said clearly enough?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Mrs. Zuo Xiang turned pale and hurriedly lowered her head to apologize, but then she boldly asked: "My wife knows that Your Majesty is going to set up a school to teach medical skills, but is this necessary?"
What she thought in her heart was actually what other noble ladies of Beirong thought. They even thought that Lin Fufu was making a big deal out of a molehill. What kind of school should they open to teach medical skills
There are very few schools in Beibei even where the professors study!
Is teaching medical skills more important than studying imperial examinations
Lin Fufu knew her thoughts, and he could also see their thoughts from the faces of other noble ladies, just like Mrs. Zuo Xiang.
She looked at them with a calm face, and her tone became slightly serious, "I know that you all think it is unnecessary, but I tell you the truth, I think it is very necessary to train a group of doctors with excellent medical skills for Beirong!"
Even if she said so, the faces of the ladies still showed indifference. They were just shocked by the queen's majesty, otherwise they would have expressions of disdain.
"Most of you people come from noble families. You grew up pampered and pampered. When you are old enough to marry, you marry into a well-matched noble family. You have never lived a real life in your life. Are you struggling?" Lin Fufu was not affected by their expressions at all.
Continued: "You have never seen how the real poor people in Beirong live, and you don't know how they suffer when they are sick and injured, and there is no one to treat them. Among them, the unlucky ones died before they survived. But if there are doctors with excellent medical skills, it may be a different result. Even if they are not doctors with high medical skills, as long as they are doctors who understand medicine, they may be able to save their lives. Therefore, this palace believes that Bei Rong must cultivate more Many doctors come out."
Among the noble ladies, those who were softer in heart already had a look of unbearable expression on their faces, but most of them were still indifferent.
In their minds, what does it matter to them whether those poor people live or die
Besides, what does it have to do with them if the Empress really wants to open the so-called medical school
They even suspected in their hearts that Lin Gospel, the dignified Queen of Beirong, was afraid that the school would not receive students after the school opened in the future, so she deliberately revealed in front of them that if it really came to that embarrassing time, let them, the courtiers, send their children to make up the number...
"Ladies and gentlemen, to tell you the truth, when I was young, I helped Bei Rong deal with the outbreak of the epidemic, and also helped many Bei Rong civilians to see a doctor or deliver babies. I deeply feel that there are not enough doctors. The women who suffer the most are the women of Beirong. They are more fragile than men. First, their physique is weaker than men. Second, they are prone to female diseases. It is convenient to prescribe a prescription for you, but if a famous doctor who is good at gynecology in Dawei teaches a group of female doctors who are good at gynecology, won’t the illnesses of the ladies be solved?” Lin Fufu’s last sentence really made some people The ladies turned pale again.
They didn't expect Lin Fufu's real trump card to be buried here, and buried so deep!
It turned out that she wanted to use the matter of opening a medical school to resolve all the rumors that were unfavorable to her, as well as their dissatisfaction with her.
If the School of Medicine is really successful, the queen empress will definitely follow her promise and transfer a doctor who is good at women's medicine from the Great Wei. At that time, they will naturally have no right to ask the dignified empress empress to prescribe medicine for their courtiers and family members. .
Moreover, she did this for the common people of Bei Rong. Once she really trains more doctors of Bei Rong, the common people of Bei Rong will naturally be grateful to her!
The ruling and opposition parties have no constraints to make things difficult for her...
"But Empress, have you ever thought about it? The courtiers are suffering from illnesses, and maybe they can't wait for you to train doctors who are good at women's subjects! The profound medicine can't be learned in three to five years!" Prime Minister on the right Madam tried her best to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, but her tone still betrayed her.
When everyone saw her like this, those who belonged to her were sweating for her, and those who were not from her group secretly ridiculed her for being stupid, and they all hoped that Lin Fufu would not be able to calm down and confront her.
But this time she was disappointed again.
Lin Fufu glanced at her calmly, and said in an indifferent but calm tone, "Madam Right, you ignored what I said to invite doctors who are good at women's subjects to come to Beirong. Shouldn't you invite doctors who are good at women's subjects first?" The doctor sees you, but you have to wait for his students to become teachers?"
As soon as Lin Fufu said this, Mrs. Right's face flushed with embarrassment, and some younger wives who couldn't contain themselves started laughing out loud.
Obviously, Mrs. Right was completely defeated by the young empress.
"Ladies, don't worry, I can still see you, but it's not convenient to prescribe medicine for you. I have explained this problem again and again. I think everyone can understand and should understand." Glanced Lin Fufu said in a deep tone after glancing at the different ladies, "I am also concerned about the condition of the ladies, so I have already sent someone to pick up three old imperial doctors of Wei who are good at women's medicine. Beirong, I believe that with their old imperial doctors, they will definitely help the ladies to recuperate their bones."
What she said was sincere, and some gentle-hearted ladies were already moved by what she said, and some of them left their seats and knelt down to thank them.
Some people took the lead in kneeling to thank, Mrs. Zuo Xiang, Mrs. Right and the like could not continue to hold on or continue to watch the show, so they had to stand up and kneel to thank each other no matter what they wanted.
Seeing this, Lin Fufu slightly raised his eyebrows and shouted "Excuse me".
All the ladies stood up with a whoosh, and sat down again.
The maids of honor also came in orderly with hot mama's milk tea and fragrant fruit plate cakes to refill the tea and exchange plates, and they enjoyed themselves for a while.
Seeing all this, Lin Fufu smiled calmly.
"Empress Empress, Empress Empress..." At this moment, a servant crawled in to report. Lin Lan, who was standing on Lin Fufu's left, saw him so flustered, and calmly shouted: "Little Zaozi calm down before answering." !"
Lin Fufu's eyes narrowed. If there was no major event on this important occasion, this low-ranking servant would never dare to break in here, or he would go to her directly.
And all the ladies here, except for a few, also looked at the disoriented little servant who suddenly barged in with a look of surprise, and they were all guessing in their hearts what happened to make this little servant so frightened. That's it.
The little waiter who was called "Little Zaozi" by Lin Lan felt possessed after Lin Lan drank it, but she almost cried and replied: "Empress! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he...he..."
Lin Fufu stood up abruptly, clenched his hands in the phoenix robe tightly, stared at the little servant of His Majesty with frowned eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to report, please report it carefully."
