Yang Miaoyan has a guilty conscience and doesn't have much confidence in speaking.
Li Ji looked at Yang Miaoyan's reaction which was a little funny.
Am I that terrible?
Li Ji walked forward to the stone table, glanced at the books on the table, and was slightly stunned, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases?"
This book was written by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing. When it was passed down to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a lot of it was lost.
The "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" seen by later generations was re-edited in the Northern Song Dynasty and had many shortcomings with the original work.
"Why do you read this book?"
Li Ji asked.
For a princess, reading this book seems a bit unprofessional.
Although the princess has no real career.
Yang Miaoyan first took a look at Li Ji's face. When he saw that Li Ji's face was as usual, he said softly: "Many people in the house have been suffering from colds in recent days. I have nothing to do, so I wanted to see if there is any cure."
.”
Li Ji was stunned, "Isn't there an imperial doctor?"
Yang Miaoyan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Only then did Li Ji realize that this question was a bit stupid. It was no different from the sentence "Why not eat minced meat".
Imperial doctors specialize in treating the emperor, concubines, and princes, dragons, and grandsons.
Occasionally, he was sent by the emperor to treat elderly ministers. Some ministers who had patients with serious illnesses in their homes would also ask the emperor to send imperial doctors to their homes from time to time.
There are only so many people in the Taiyuan Hospital. After taking care of the emperor, concubines, princes, dragons and grandchildren, and then taking care of all the officials, there is not much left.
There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, and they cannot leave the palace privately. If someone has a headache or a fever, he will either develop resistance or go to the medicine boy of the Tai Hospital.
The problem is that it is winter now, a season prone to wind and cold, and the medicine boys cannot take care of it.
"Ahem, did you see anything?"
Li Ji quickly changed the topic.
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment. Her husband would not ask these questions on weekdays. He would just say "oh" and then be indifferent.
"Don't see anything?"
Seeing that Yang Miaoyan was silent, Li Ji continued to ask.
Yang Miaoyan came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "I have seen a few good prescriptions, but I don't know the properties of medicines and don't know which prescriptions correspond to which diseases, so I don't dare to use them rashly."
Li Ji nodded, "I remember that there are several female doctors in the palace. I will summon them to the house tomorrow to teach you. If the maids in the house are spiritual, you can also ask them to follow suit."
Li Ji was very generous and did not think that a princess studying medicine was not doing her job properly.
On the contrary, in this era of medical conditions and sparse medical practitioners, the more people who study medicine, the more lives they can save.
If a princess takes the lead in studying medicine, it can also improve the status of some medical industries.
Yang Miaoyan's eyes widened, watery, like a frightened deer.
Li Ji's decision was a bit beyond her expectation.
She thought Li Ji would object, but she didn't expect that Li Ji not only did not object, but also strongly supported it.
Li Ji looked at Yang Miaoyan's frightened look and said funnyly: "Why, you don't want to?"
Yang Miaoyan immediately said: "Thank you Alang."
Li Ji said shamelessly: "You and I, husband and wife, how can we say thank you?"
This sentence gave Yang Miaoyan a lot of courage, and she couldn't help but said: "Alang came to my concubine today, and did he ask me to accuse him?"
Li Ji said dumbfounded: "If nothing happens, I can't go back to my bedroom?"
Yang Miaoyan explained: "That's not what I meant. I lent Gao Shangyi to my sister without passing by Alang. Alang will definitely blame me."
Li Jirao glanced at Yang Miaoyan meaningfully.
Yang Miaoyan looked like a timid deer, harmless to humans and animals, but what she said made Li Ji realize that she was very smart.
The sister she refers to is Mrs. Yang of Prince Qin's Mansion.
She came from the same Hongnong family of Guanzhong as the Yang family, and they were both descendants of the former Sui Dynasty king Yang Xiong.
They are just cousins, not biological sisters.
When Li Yuan married Li Yuanji, he felt that since he had become emperor and had a high status, he had to give his son a legitimate daughter with the surname Qiwang as his princess.
But he misjudged the arrogance of Qi Wang, the fifth surname.
They had no intention of marrying their legitimate daughter to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuan almost died of anger, but he had no choice but to take the next best thing and choose a daughter from a wealthy family in Guanzhong to be his son's daughter-in-law.
The Qiwang trees with five surnames have big roots and deep roots. Even if Li Yuan is the emperor, he will not easily provoke them.
Yang Miaoyan insisted that Li Ji would definitely blame her, just to tell Li Ji that she already knew that she was wrong.
If Li Ji was angry, it would dissipate a lot after hearing these words.
If he reprimanded Yang Miaoyan again, he wouldn't be so harsh.
"It's just a Shangyi. It's not a big deal if I borrow it. You are the mistress of the house, and the decision you make is the decision I make."
Li Ji said grandly.
Yang Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ji's words also made her feel inexplicably comfortable.
In the past, her husband made all the decisions in the family affairs without giving her a chance to intervene. He also strongly rejected a series of decisions she made. He hardly regarded her as the mistress of the family and did not say anything about it.
Respected her.
Li Ji's words today made her feel respected, and she also felt a little bit like the mistress of Prince Qi's palace.
Li Ji continued: "I'm looking for you today because I have something I want you to come forward with."
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed, "Alang ordered..."
Li Ji said angrily and funny: "Didn't I just say that you and I don't have to be like this?"
Yang Miaoyan stood up, feeling a little dazed and a little scared.
My husband's behavior today is completely different from the past. In the past, he was like a knife and ax, but today he is like a spring breeze.
She felt that her husband was probably going to give her something difficult to handle, and even require her to make certain sacrifices.
"You will go to Yeting Palace in the next few days to select some palace servants and replace them."
Li Ji gave the explanation after Yang Miaoyan stood up.
Yang Miaoyan was a little confused, "Is that just that?"
As soon as he said this, Yang Miaoyan's expression changed and he looked at the four maids behind him.
Li Ji saw Yang Miaoyan's thoughts, and before Yang Miaoyan could speak, he slowly said: "Many people have been brought into the house, and the Gao Shangyi you sent out today is one of them.
I do not intend to pursue this matter further, but no one can tell whether there are others hidden in the house.
I'm too lazy to identify them one by one, so I might as well replace them all.
People you trust can stay."
Li Ji tried his best to explain the matter to Yang Miaoyan as clearly as possible, so that Yang Miaoyan, a woman who looked soft and weak on the outside but had a delicate mind on the inside, would think too much.
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment before finishing digesting Li Ji's words.
Yang Miaoyan said with a slightly complicated expression: "Is Gao Shangyi from Prince Qin's palace?"
Yang Miaoyan already understood that she was being used by her sister.
Li Ji nodded.
Yang Miaoyan lowered her head slightly, "I understand, I understand."
Li Ji said with a relaxed look: "I will leave this matter to you. If anyone else appears in the house, I will ask you the question."
Yang Miaoyan nodded solemnly.
She is the mistress of Prince Qi's Mansion, and it is actually her responsibility to manage the female family members and palace people of Prince Qi's Mansion.
She had no power to control it before, but now Li Ji has given her the power. If problems arise, she should indeed be held responsible.
After the matter was explained, Li Ji had no intention of staying any longer. Li Ji picked up "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" on the stone table and shook it at Yang Miaoyan, "Let me read it for a few days. You don't have time to read it anyway.
"
Yang Miaoyan said ‘hmm’.
As Li Ji said, she really didn't have time to read in the next period of time.
The house is not clean. As the hostess, she must clean the house.
For the next while, she had to be busy cleaning the house.
Li Ji took "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and left the dormitory with his hands behind his back.
After Li Ji left, Yang Miaoyan stood there for a long time with a complicated expression.
A maid took courage and said timidly: "Your Highness seems to be different from usual?"
The other three maids nodded together.
Yang Miaoyan did not respond to their words, but whispered, "Go find Maid Fu and come here."
The maidservant Fu mentioned by Yang Miaoyan was one of her maidservants as a dowry.
When she was in her natal family, she studied 'house management'.
Women from aristocratic families learn to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting after they are born, and their maids and servants learn 'house management', 'money management', 'land management' and so on.
This is also the reason why wealthy families like to marry into wealthy families.
If you marry a wealthy family, you will not only get a generous dowry, but also a large number of management talents, and you can also borrow some of the top talents and huge connections of your natal family.
When Yang Miaoyan was making arrangements to clean up Prince Qi's mansion.
Li Ji has returned to the main hall of Wude Hall.
Sitting a few steps behind, Li Ji did not rush to read the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in his hand, but murmured with a smile, "From the memory of her predecessor, Princess Qi is just a harmless little rabbit.
When I met her today, I realized that Princess Qi was not just a harmless little rabbit, but a very smart woman.
If her methods are more forceful, I won't have to worry about fires in the backyard when I'm charging outside.
After that, it all depends on her methods..."
Yang Miaoyan's performance today was definitely an unexpected surprise for Li Ji.
If Yang Miaoyan has good looks, good character, good family background, wisdom, and some means, then she will be a very good housekeeper.
From now on, Yang Miaoyan will be in charge of Prince Qi's Mansion, so Li Ji won't have to worry about matters in Prince Qi's Mansion.
From now on, I can concentrate on dealing with matters outside the house.
"I'm just a little younger..."
Li Ji sighed.
I can't even think about the beasts.
After Li Ji sighed, he picked up "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and read it.
On the first page of the scroll, there is a seal stamped from the former Sui Dynasty Library.
This book should be a collection of books from the former Sui royal family that Li Shimin transported back from Luoyang Palace.
Emperor Sui Yang of the former Sui Dynasty did a lot of ridiculous things and a lot of good things.
Later generations scolded Emperor Sui Yang more than praised him, so that many of the good deeds done by Emperor Sui Yang were rarely mentioned.
Collecting books and building libraries is a good governance of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
