"Uh..." Lao Liu was stunned by the question. He couldn't tell his elder brother because I could predict the future, right?
"Back to the Crown Prince, it can be seen in advance that the fetus is too large." Fortunately, Zhang Xunzhen came to the rescue at the right time and said:
"Pregnant women with an oversized fetus will gain significant weight during pregnancy, and may experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, heaviness in the abdomen, and pain in both ribs in the third trimester. Of course, they will also have a late delivery."
After a pause, Zhang Xunzhen continued: "In addition, the belly of a pregnant woman will be obviously swollen. Your Highness weighs nine kilograms. If Your Highness had paid attention to the comparison, you would have found that the Crown Princess's belly is significantly higher than when she was the first child."
"It seems to be true." The prince recalled carefully and found that all the points Zhang Xunzhen said were consistent with Chang's original remarks.
"If you are a female doctor, there is actually the most accurate way to judge." Zhang Xunzhen whispered again:
"It's just palpation. Palpation can reveal significant features such as excessive fetal body size and fetal head crossing the pubic area, so dystocia can be judged in advance."
"That's what I mean." Lao Liu smiled gratefully at Zhang Xunzhen.
Zhang Xunzhen also smiled in return, his eyes as charming as silk.
The prince paid no attention to the exchanges between the two of them, and only thought about it with a serious expression. After a while, he slowly said:
"Since there are female doctors, there is no need for medical doctors in gynecology and obstetrics."
He sighed and said: "It seems that the level of female doctors is still worrying."
"No, obstetrics and gynecology has always been the world of female doctors." Zhu Zhen said flatly: "Fifth brother said that Mrs. Ning of Chunhe Palace is also a master of gynecology in Jinling with a family background. It's not like even I can tell it. But she can't see it."
In order to attract the attention of his elder brother, he did not hesitate to shame himself.
"Then why didn't she say it?" the prince said with an even more serious expression.
"Perhaps I did, but it just didn't reach the ears of eldest brother." Lao Liu shrugged and said that.
No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. I believe that with my intelligence, I already fully understand what I am talking about...
The prince nodded and avoided the topic, not mentioning it again.
~~
Chunhe sleeps in the palace.
The princess was able to sit up and talk to the fifth couple.
When she saw Lao Liu and Zhang Xunzhen coming in, she actually stood up to greet them.
"Fifth sister-in-law, hold down sister-in-law quickly." Lao Liu exclaimed: "Is it possible for me to fall to the ground? Sister-in-law's body is really too good."
"Sixth Uncle, Fifth Uncle told me, if it weren't for you two, I would have gone to see the King of Hell." Mrs. Chang looked at him and Zhang Xunzhen with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I have to give you two a kiss."
"Where are you staying?" Lao Liu smiled and said, "You don't want the dignity of a princess."
"Compared to a small life, what is dignity?" Mrs. Chang said with a smile. From her body, you can vaguely see what King Kaiping looked like back then.
"Okay, I won't thank you anymore." She said and said to Zhang Xunzhen: "Sister, sister-in-law, thank you very much."
Zhang Xunzhen hurriedly started to be polite with a blushing face. Although she knew that the Crown Princess was referred to as younger sister from Empress Ma, she still felt a little bit strange.
"Sister-in-law, don't just thank us two, you also have to thank my fifth brother!" Lao Liu quickly changed the topic to Lao Wu and said:
"He finalized the entire process, and he improved the surgical tools. And he was the one who decided to let Xunzhen take over against all objections that day."
This is true, this is a matter of life and death, and it is also related to the life of the Crown Princess. Without Lao Wu, the medical authority of the Zhu family, the top leader of the Ming Dynasty's medical system, Boss Zhu would not agree to Lao Liu's mischief.
Princess Zhou Feng also looked at her husband with admiration. From that night on, her view of Lao Wu changed greatly. She no longer thought that her prince was a useless little transparent person. Now she felt that he was not only useful, but also shining...
…
Lao Wu said modestly: "I just turned Lao Liu's whimsical ideas into reality. He is a true medical genius. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bian Que is still alive."
"Fifth brother, please don't put your hat on me." Lao Liu said with a bitter smile: "I haven't even turned a few pages of a medical book, and I'm a medical genius."
"It is precisely because you have never studied medicine that you are a genius." Lao Wu said seriously: "Vaccinium, disinfection, and forceps... These unintentional inventions you made will save tens of millions of lives and benefit generations of the Ming Dynasty.
For the common people.”
"Uncle Liu, you are so awesome!" Zhu Xiongying raised his thumbs up with admiration on his face and said in a sweet voice.
"Xiongying, do you want to be like Uncle Six, omniscient and omnipotent?" the prince asked the emperor's grandson with a smile.
"Of course I have." Xiongying nodded excitedly. "I have only dreamed about it."
"Then today, I will make your dream come true." The prince said seriously: "Why don't you kowtow to your sixth uncle!"
"Hey." Zhu Xiongying didn't ask why, he knelt in front of Lao Liu and kowtowed.
"Four obeisances are enough." Zhu Zhen knew what his elder brother meant, so he sat upright and accepted Zhu Xiongying's four obeisances.
"From now on, your sixth uncle will be your master." The prince then explained to Zhu Xiongying: "From now on, your studies will be under the control of your sixth uncle."
"Ah? That's great!" Zhu Xiongying was so happy. It's such a beautiful thing to be able to play with Uncle Six... oh no, study!
"That's great. I didn't want Xiongying to follow those rotten Confucians." Chang was also very happy and said: "Only with Uncle Six can you learn the real skills!"
Then he said to Lao Liu: "If you don't obey me, I'll beat you up."
"Haha, sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiongying listens to me the most." Lao Liu picked up Xiongying from the ground, pinched his little face and said:
"Right, man?"
"Yeah." The emperor's grandson nodded vigorously, as good as a hamster.
~~
The princess still had to confine her confinement, so the prince and the emperor's eldest grandson held a banquet to thank Lao Wu Lao Liu and Zhang Xunzhen.
Mrs. Lu thought she would also attend, but was stopped outside the palace gate.
"The prince has given orders, so there is no need to trouble my wife to entertain the guests." The eunuch guarding the door said with an apologetic smile.
"I know." Although Ms. Lu was unhappy, she was a young woman with a good upbringing. She just nodded quietly and asked casually:
"Where is Eunuch Lu?"
She had to ask her cousin what was going on?
"Go back to your Majesty, I don't know." The eunuch shook his head.
"Don't know?" Lu was surprised.
As the general manager of Chunhe Palace, Eunuch Lu should be serving the prince in the palace at this time. Or maybe the prince has some errands, so it's not unusual for him to be away from the palace... But his whereabouts must be certain, what's going on with 'I don't know'
?
"I really don't know," the eunuch repeated again.
"Okay, I understand." Mrs. Lu had no choice but to turn back to the West Wing Hall where she lived.
The four-year-old son Zhu Yunwen was so happy when he saw his mother and concubine coming back that he wanted to hug her.
Mrs. Lu ignored him and sat in front of the dressing table, minding her own business taking off the bits and pieces from her head.
Looking at the absent-minded face in the mirror, she had an increasingly uneasy premonition.
