She pondered for a moment and said: "I asked, Zhou Man started studying medicine when he was about six or seven years old, and it only takes six or seven years now. However, she can read early and is smart. She is indeed faster than the average person. I don't ask for everything.
All the female doctors are as good as her, they just can cure most common diseases."
"I want all the medical ladies in the palace to learn medical skills from her. Most of them have a basic foundation. At least they have memorized the names of commonly used medicinal materials, so it will be easier for them to learn."
The emperor was curious, "Why did Zi Tong suddenly think of this?"
The queen smiled and said, "It's still because of Zhou Man and Dr. Liu."
She told Doctor Liu what she said today, saying: "Zhou Man has a compassionate heart and is willing to teach Doctor Liu. He is obviously different from other doctors."
"Although the imperial doctors work in the Imperial Hospital, there are not many who are really willing to teach outsiders their housekeeping skills." This is still a polite way of saying it. In fact, there are none. Those who are really willing to teach others are not in the Imperial Hospital.
The Queen said: "You can tell just by looking at my female doctors who have worked in the Imperial Hospital for many years but haven't learned much."
"Dr. Xiao and Dr. Liu come from the imperial physician's family," the queen said, "Zhou Man is willing to teach, so I want her to teach a few more."
The emperor then laughed, "Does Zitong still want to build another hospital for women?"
The queen had not thought of this at first, but now she thought deeply, "It's not a bad idea."
The emperor's eyebrows twitched, and he regretted slightly for mentioning this topic. He wanted to establish a new imperial hospital. This would have to be restructured, just to serve the harem?
The queen said: "Originally, I thought that after these women become medical experts, they can be released to various places. After they go out, they can also be treated and prescribed in medicine shops. Wouldn't women in the world have more vitality? This will also be beneficial to the reproduction of the population."
The emperor couldn't help but sit up slightly and asked, "Will it be released to other places?"
The queen nodded.
The emperor pondered, "If that's the case, it's not impossible, but what if they don't want to? After all, it's a matter of publicity."
The queen said: "There are always people who are willing, and there are always ways."
"Relying on Zhou Man alone to teach? I heard someone say that she will travel to thousands of mountains and rivers in the future and will not stay in one place for a long time."
Obviously, the emperor also knew what she said to the prince.
The queen gave him a squeeze before saying: "This matter is very complicated and cannot be decided for a moment, but I would like to ask Your Majesty, if I insist on doing it, then the female concubine's hospital..."
"I'll set it up for you!"
"What about money?" the queen asked, "To teach students, the loss of medicinal materials, manpower and material resources all require money."
The emperor took her hand and smiled and said, "I'll get it for you from the private treasury. Is that okay?"
The Queen became satisfied, snuggled into his arms and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor hugged her and patted her shoulders and said: "Okay, can you sleep peacefully now? You are just too worried. The imperial doctor has said that you need to rest for your illness. You can leave these things to you outside."
Just do it as long as the Crown Princess does it, she will be the mother of the country in the future, you just need to teach her not to work too hard."
The queen responded, but she was very smart, and even if she didn't want to think about it, she still couldn't help but think about it.
So she didn't sleep well all night. When she saw Man Bao the next day, she dressed up well, but who was Man Bao?
At first glance, she felt that the queen's expression was not right. When she took a closer look, she realized that her face was too pink, so she asked the queen for her pulse.
The queen, who specially asked the internal prison to announce Man Bao's arrival, couldn't help but cross her hands in front of her belly and said with a smile: "Little doctor Zhou, today is not the day for my consultation. I came to you for other reasons."
Man Bao said: "Now that you are here, let me help the Queen take a look. I see that your eyes seem to be a little blue and black. Did you not sleep well?"
Man Bao looked worried, "Is the condition relapsing and you can't sleep at night again?"
When Man Bao said this, he looked at Aunt Shang.
Aunt Shang:......
She silently looked up at the queen.
The queen coughed slightly and said, "Fortunately, I slept a little late last night. I invited you here because of Dr. Liu's affairs."
Man Bao's attention was immediately diverted, "Doctor Liu?"
The queen nodded with a smile and asked, "I heard Doctor Liu say that Dr. Zhou is willing to teach her medical skills?"
Man Bao nodded, "Yes, if she is willing to come and learn from me."
The queen smiled and asked, "Your Majesty plans to set up a new hospital in the palace for female doctors. I wonder if Dr. Zhou would be willing to work in the palace?"
Manbao refused without thinking, saying, "Mother, I'm still young. I'm afraid I won't be able to be an official."
"What matters in becoming an official is talent, not age."
"But I still have many shortcomings in my medical skills, and I would like to learn more from doctors outside."
Queen: "When you enter the palace, you can also learn from the doctors at the imperial hospital."
Man Bao still shook his head, "Although Dr. Xiao and the others are also very good, the diseases that the palace is exposed to are limited. I still prefer to be in Jishi Hall. I may have to travel to other places in the future, so I don't dare to be solicited by the empress."
The Queen sighed and said: "But I want to send more medical women like Dr. Liu to study with you. In the future, when they complete their studies, they can not only work in the Nu Tai Hospital, but also be sent to other places to treat people.
Didn't you say that it is extremely difficult for women to see a doctor in the world? If there are female doctors, it will definitely be much better."
When Man Bao heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but the scene of the prince slashing the imperial doctor with a knife was too deep into her heart, so after struggling, she still shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go home and think about it. This matter is important.
, I have to ask my family."
The queen nodded with a smile and said: "That's fine, then you go back and discuss with your family. If you are willing to accept the Nv Tai Hospital, its structure may be lower than that of the Tai Hospital, but the position of hospital leader should be of the fifth rank."
So she will become an official by accident?
He was still a fifth-rank official, older than the magistrate of Tang County.
Man Bao was speechless in his heart, and stood up in a daze to say goodbye. Aunt Shang quickly took the opportunity to say: "Dr. Zhou, please give me a diagnosis. Maybe I need an acupuncture."
Queen:......
Man Bao thought the same thing. They were all here anyway, so let’s take a look.
Man Bao suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and calmed down before taking the Queen's pulse. She felt the pulse and took a close look at the Queen's face, and was very sure that she had not slept well last night.
So she sighed and asked the queen to lie down. She gave the queen acupuncture and saw that she fell asleep, so she sat aside in a daze.
The Crown Princess was accompanying her. Seeing her little one sitting on a stool, her brows almost wrinkled, she lowered her voice and asked, "Isn't it good to serve in the palace? This is an opportunity to honor our ancestors."
