A lot of big things happened in Dajin this year, and each one of them can make that year different, but these things all happened together this year.
First, Hou Ji's rebellion and murder of the prince implicated Prince Gong, which broke the constant struggle between dragons and tigers. Prince Gong was imprisoned in the palace, while the prince temporarily won.
Then the Crown Princess, who had been infertile for many years, became pregnant. It was rumored that the Crown Prince's infertility disease had been cured.
Then the Crown Princess gave birth to the child safely, but because of Xu Yu, various families were involved. Now every family has to take a step back when facing the royal family, for fear that the royal family will break their skin.
It is true that even if the emperor breaks his skin, it will be difficult for him to defeat each alliance, but similarly, each alliance will not have an easy time.
Therefore, even if it is a quiet corner, some old ladies who do not come to the capital often cannot help but come to the capital this year to celebrate the winter solstice.
Of course, they all found good reasons to congratulate the emperor, empress, and the prince and princess.
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 need money. The prince's having a son is a matter of universal celebration...
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 intelligence and filial piety.
Manbao picked up Doctor Liu and went to the back hall of Taiji Hall early in the morning. At that time, he was sitting in the side hall drinking tea and taking a nap.
She got up a little early today.
Hearing the lively sounds coming from the main hall, Man Bao raised her eyelids and looked outside. Seeing that no one came to call her, she continued to sit cross-legged on the big chair covered with mats and closed her eyes to meditate.
Dr. Liu sat upright and calmed down for a while. When she turned around and saw that the master seemed to be asleep, she was speechless for a while.
From time to time, Man Bao opened a crack and looked outside. When she saw her apprentice looking at her, she said, "You got up earlier than me, so you should just close your eyes. I heard there are a lot of people coming today."
Doctor Liu said: "Master, I'm not tired. How about I check things?"
Man Bao took a look at the medicine box she brought, put down her legs and put on her shoes, "Bring the medicine box over and let me see how many syringes you brought?"
Doctor Liu said: "I followed your instructions and applied for ten sets with the Imperial Medical Office."
Man Bao nodded, "The used needles must be boiled before being sent back to the Imperial Medical Office."
After checking that 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 had also finished greeting them and was talking about the newly opened Imperial Medical Office. Most of the old ladies and madams here had sent someone to the Imperial Medical Office, so they knew about it.
The Queen said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are thinking of the hard work of the old ladies. They have given birth to children for the ministers and took care of the housework for many years. They have suffered a lot of illnesses, so today they specially ordered Dr. Zhou and her apprentice Dr. Liu to come and see it for everyone."
Except for Princess Gaomi, Mrs. Cui and several other old ladies who had never met Zhou Man, everyone present had seen her and even asked her to see a doctor. They didn't feel much about it and just bowed slightly.
I thanked the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Mrs. Cui had heard people talking about Dr. Zhou a long time ago, so Zhou Man couldn't help but look at Dr. Liu when he led her into the palace.
Man Bao and Dr. Liu put down their medicine boxes and saluted the queen first, then saluted the old lady and ladies sitting in the hall.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Yang Hou was also there.
Even though the Yang family is now implicated and needs to live a low-key life, she is also the Yang family's wife and Mrs. Hou, so the queen summoned the wives of various families, and she was among them.
When she saw Zhou Man, she lowered her eyes and had no intention of asking her to see a doctor.
The queen spared Zhou Man's courtesy and said with a smile: "Physician Zhou, please take the pulse of all ladies."
Manbao agreed, then looked at the ladies. Seeing that no one responded, he planned to look from the front to the back.
Princess Gaomi glanced at the queen and then took the initiative to say: "Doctor Zhou come and take a look at me first?"
Man Bao agreed with a smile and took Dr. Liu forward to check Princess Gaomi's pulse.
Of course, it is impossible to talk about very private medical conditions in public. Man Bao is also sensible and talks about common symptoms and daily precautions.
For example, "Princess has trouble falling asleep at night from time to time? She also has a dry mouth and feels that no matter how much water she drinks, it's not enough?"
Princess Gaomi felt very strange and nodded repeatedly. Then Manbao would give her some precautions. If she didn't need to change clothes and only needed to inject acupuncture in exposed places such as her hands, feet, head, and neck, she would give her a few injections.
These old ladies are much older than the queen, and they all have children and grandchildren, so they naturally have many problems.
Not to mention gynecological diseases, there are many common diseases among the elderly alone.
Anyway, today I asked for Ping'an pulse. I didn't look at it carefully. I just picked up some common symptoms and mentioned them, and then inserted some needles. If other important symptoms were found, Manbao adhered to the principle of keeping patients confidential, and he would do it.
Give a hint or two and ask the other person to see a doctor after they get out.
Of course, it's okay if they come to invite her.
Man Bao took Dr. Liu to look from top to bottom. He was very accurate in describing the symptoms and was very attentive. Even Mrs. Cui, who was a little scornful at first, couldn't help but give Zhou Man a serious look.
The queen lowered her head to drink tea, very satisfied with it.
She was given plenty of opportunities, but she had to seize them.
Many old ladies had a good impression of Zhou Man. Mrs. Lu even held her hand and said with a smile: "When you leave the palace someday, come to my house to sit down when you are free. My eldest grandson-in-law is also pregnant. I think
I want you to take a look at her."
The queen smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu, is this your second great-grandson?"
Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile, "Yes, the first one is a great-granddaughter. I don't know if I can have a great-grandson this time."
The queen smiled and said: "Bloom first and then bear fruit. The more flowers bloom at the front, the more fruits will be born at the back."
"That's the reason. If it's a great-granddaughter, the two sisters will be a good companion."
Man Bao also agreed with a smile, and then went to ask the next old lady for her pulse.
Dr. Liu kept an eye on the time, and when she estimated that the time was almost up, she went to remove the needle or turn the needle for Madam when the time was up.
The two masters and apprentices cooperated very quickly. Although there were many married women, they still finished reading before noon.
The queen was very satisfied, nodded and asked Zhou Man to retreat.
Mrs. Cui then smiled and said, "I don't know if the female doctors trained by the Imperial Medical Office will have the skills of Imperial Doctor Zhou in the future."
The Queen smiled and said: "They were all taught by Imperial Physician Zhou and other Imperial Physicians in the imperial hospital. I think there must be some who are better than their masters."
Man Bao, who walked out of the main hall, exhaled and said: "When seeing a doctor, I still like to see patients one by one. In this way, many questions cannot be asked in public."
Doctor Liu asked: "Master, I see that you took a long time to diagnose Mrs. Cui's pulse. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Man Bao lowered his voice and said: "I'm not sure. I think she has bruises on her body that haven't gone away, and her pulse is a little bad. Unfortunately, she applied powder today and her face can't be seen clearly."
