21. Chapter 21
Wu Qian, a famous doctor, has just passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, with a good appearance and elegant appearance, and once served Yongzheng and Qianlong, two Qing emperors, because of his excellent medical skills and loyalty, he was deeply trusted by Qianlong, and was given the high position of the right court of the Tai Hospital.
Since Liu Yuduo and Chen Zhijing and other imperial doctors from the Left Hospital of Tai Hospital had not diagnosed Xiao Yan's pulse, Qianlong was anxious, so he directly ordered Wu Qian to diagnose Xiao Yan's pulse.
Originally, among the eleven subjects in the Tai Hospital, Wu Qian was good at Dafang Pulse, Pox, Typhoid Fever, Acupuncture, Ophthalmology and Laryngology, and was not good at gynecology, and his medical skills were slightly inferior to other subjects, but Qianlong thought that since Wu Qian's medical skills were much better than other imperial doctors, even Wu Qian's women's medical skills that Wu Qian was not very good at should be better than other imperial doctors.
Wu Qian felt that the emperor was really a little too anxious, and the earliest time for Chinese medicine to diagnose the happy pulse was more than a month after the woman was pregnant, and because the physical condition of the pregnant woman was not the same, the time to diagnose the happy pulse would be a few days or even half a month shorter.
In fact, Xiao Chang's time in favor is still short, as long as he waits patiently for a few more days, he can naturally find out whether Xiao Changzai is pregnant. However, the emperor had to order the imperial physician to go to diagnose Xiao Changzai's pulse every day, staring at the hands of the imperial physicians to diagnose the pulse, looking forward to hearing the good news from the mouth of the imperial doctor.
Wu Qian got Qianlong's will, and carefully read the pulse cases of Liu Yuduo, Chen Zhijing, Hu Mingfang and other imperial doctors about Xiao Changzai, and then ordered the little eunuch to carry the medicine box on his back and go to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace to diagnose Xiao Changzai's pulse.
When Wu Qian came to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, Qianlong had just had dinner with Xiao Yan. Wu Shulai asked Wu Qian to wait outside the side hall for a while with a smile on his face, and he personally went to the hall to pass on Wu Qian.
A group of people in Chuxiu Palace who were always there, promised to see the palace maids who only checked the pulse of the emperor and the queen mother on weekdays, and the right court judge Wu Qian and Imperial Doctor Wu were also ordered to come to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace to diagnose Xiao Changzai's pulse, and in addition to jealousy, they couldn't help but restrain their envy, and secretly hated why their parents failed to make their appearance as delicate and lovely as Xiao Changzai, so that they could not please the emperor.
After Wu Shulai walked lightly into the side hall, he did not rush to report to Qianlong that Wu Qian had come to diagnose Xiao Changzai's pulse, but quickly observed the situation in the hall, and then pursed his lips and smiled, retreated his body to an inconspicuous corner, and patiently waited for the right time to pass on to Wu Qian.
Wu Shulai secretly thought that according to the emperor's previous instructions, he also planned to order Imperial Physician Wu to wait outside the side hall of Chuxiu Palace for a while, and now there is no need to rush to spread the matter to the emperor. Thinking of Qianlong's gentle and careless appearance when coaxing Xiao Chang to use more delicious food in recent days, Wu Shulai couldn't help but shudder, and said in his heart, presumably the emperor would definitely not want outsiders to see him put down his body and coax Xiao Chang to be there, so it is better to ask Imperial Doctor Wu to wait outside the side hall for a while longer.
Moreover, it is time for those concubines and concubines in the harem to beat and knock well, so that they know that the emperor loves and cares about Xiao Changzai, so as not to let these short-sighted ladies and sisters hit Xiao Changzai's head with their hearts, stab the emperor's heart, and anger the emperor, and even he, the head of the inner court, will follow the bad luck to eat melons.
At this time, Xiao Yan was indeed pulling and pulling with Qianlong, just because Xiao Yan was thirsty and wanted to eat tea, but Qianlong stopped Qiulan from serving tea to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan pursed her lips unhappily and explained softly: "The concubine is really very thirsty, and it's not a strong tea, it's just some chrysanthemum honey tea that clears the heat and defeats the fire, why doesn't the emperor let the concubine drink it?" ”
Qianlong's eyes were like torches, carefully looking at Xiao Yan's flat lower abdomen, wishing that he could immediately see the curvature of Xiao Yan's abdomen, but he explained gently: "How can there be a reason to drink a belly of tea just after dinner?" This will be detrimental to the spleen and stomach and affect digestion. Bear with me for a moment, and after two quarters of an hour I will naturally allow you to use tea. ”
Xiao Yan only felt aggrieved, obviously she was a doctor who was proficient in medical skills, but now she was at the mercy of Qianlong, a half-informed layman, who was really depressed.
Xiao Yan looked at the teacup in Qiulan's hand, and explained unwillingly: "When the concubine drank the black chicken soup, it was a little salty, so she felt very thirsty. The concubine will not drink too much, just quench her thirst with two small sips of tea, otherwise, her throat will be itchy and a little uncomfortable. ”
Qianlong immediately glared angrily, and rebuked coldly: "Is that black chicken soup salty?" Why didn't you just tell me? Hmph, the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room should really be well renovated, and even a simple soup can be salty, I really don't know what to say! ”
Xiao Yan only felt that this matter really had nothing to do with the cooking skills of the imperial chef, and blamed herself for her recent tastes becoming a little strange, so she often felt that the taste of the dishes was not very satisfying. Xiao Yan just wanted to say a few words for the poor imperial chef, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that if she mentioned this matter to Qianlong, she would have to explain to Qianlong the recent changes in her tastes, for fear that it would arouse Qianlong's suspicion, so she was afraid that she would not be able to hide Qianlong's pregnancy, so Xiao Yan consciously stopped talking again.
Qianlong reprimanded the imperial doctor with an unhappy face, and ordered Wu Shulai to directly deduct the three months of the imperial chef who made the dish of black chicken soup today, and at the same time personally took the teacup from Qiulan's hand, handed it to Xiao Yan's mouth with his own hands, and said in a gentle tone: "You have to count when you speak, you are only allowed to drink two small sips of the throat, do you know?" If you dare to speak, I will punish you well tonight......"
Xiao Yan was still a little moved when she saw Qianlong personally feeding her tea, but she was so stimulated by Qianlong's last ambiguous words that she almost sprayed the tea in her mouth directly onto Qianlong's dragon robe.
Xiao Yan was really trustworthy, and stopped drinking it after only two small sips of honey chrysanthemum tea, raised her head and glanced at Qianlong shyly, but secretly slandered Qianlong in her heart, this erotic dragon was really full of unhealthy erotic pictures, and she could use an ambiguous tone to turn her into an association that made her blush and heartbeat.
Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan's white jade-like delicate face dyed with a tempting red glow, and his heart couldn't help but move, but the corners of his lips raised a wicked arc, reached out and stroked Xiao Yan's smooth cheeks, and laughed in a low voice: "What I just said was that if you break your word, I will punish you for reciting three poems at night before you can sleep." Why are you blushing little girl? Didn't you think of some special picture and misunderstand my intentions? ”
Xiao Yan looked at the teasing chuckle on her face, and naturally knew that Qianlong was teasing her about this matter, although she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't continue to argue with Qianlong in front of Qiulan and Wu Shulai here and now. What's more, this kind of thing is not explained in the first place, and it will only get darker and darker, so it is better to stop there.
So, Xiao Yan just glanced at Qianlong with disgust and shyness, and then lowered her head and pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Qianlong saw that Xiao Yan lowered her head shyly, but when she was young and thin-skinned, he stopped teasing her, and turned his head to see Wu Shulai still standing in the corner, so he gestured to him and motioned him to come close and reply.
Wu Shulai hurriedly bent down and walked forward quickly, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wu of the Right Hospital of the Tai Hospital has been ordered to come to diagnose Xiao Chang's pulse, and is waiting for the emperor's summons outside the side hall of Chuxiu Palace. ”
Qianlong glanced at Wu Shulai and nodded, "Since Imperial Physician Wu has arrived, let's call him in to check Xiao Chang's pulse." Then he turned his head and explained to Xiao Yan: "Imperial Doctor Wu's medical skills are the most brilliant in the Tai Hospital. With him to diagnose your pulse and recuperate, I can rest assured. ”
As a doctor, Xiao Yan is also very interested in traditional Chinese medicine, so she also knows a little about Wu Qian, the famous Tai Hospital judge Wu Qian and Wu Tai Doctor during the Qianlong period, and has carefully studied the medical book "Yizong Jinjian" jointly compiled by Wu Qian and Liu Yuduo.
A few days ago, when the left hospital of Qianlong Mingtai Hospital sentenced Liu Yuduo to come to check her pulse, Xiao Yan was a little nervous, but fortunately, Xiao Yan's pregnancy time was still short at that time, so Taiyi Liu did not diagnose the happy pulse. Unexpectedly, today Qianlong sent Wu Qian, the judge of the right hospital of Tai Hospital, to come to diagnose her pulse, which really gave Xiao Yan a headache.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but secretly wonder, Qianlong scum is not without a son now, the eldest brother Yonghuang and the third elder brother Yongzhang are not alive. Moreover, Jia Concubine Jin Jia Wanhua and Imperial Concubine Gao Fang are both pregnant in their wombs, at least the fetus in Jia Concubine's womb must be a little brother. However, why did the Qianlong scum have been convulsing like a convulsion recently? It's really the enemy sent by God to toss her!
Imperial Physician Wu Qian got Wu Shulai's message, and hurriedly and respectfully walked into the side hall to salute Qianlong and Xiao Yan and say goodbye. Wu Qian was even more surprised at a glance, there were many rare antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings among the decorations in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, and even there were no in the main hall where many concubines and concubines lived in the main hall. It can be seen that there may not be no reason for nothing, and the emperor is really very fond of Xiao Changzai, who has just entered the palace.
Qianlong raised his hand and motioned for Wu Qian to step forward to diagnose Xiao Yan's pulse. Qiu Lan had already covered a lotus-colored brocade on Xiao Yanying's jade-white Haowan, and just stood sideways next to Xiao Yan, but she snatched most of the errand of the waiter painting and squeezed the waiter painting aside.
Since the last time she failed to drug the pastry, she was scolded by Queen Fucha Ningxiu, and she was worried that she would lose her life if the matter was exposed, so she was a little frightened in recent days, and even Qiu Lan gradually and quietly robbed her of many errands to serve Xiao Yan closely, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Wu Qian knelt beside Xiao Yan according to the rules of asking for a pulse in the palace, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Xiao Yan's face, stretched out his right hand and gently put it on Xiao Yan's wrist covered with Jinpa, and calmly checked Xiao Yan's pulse.
Wu Qian's examination found that the pulse under his fingers was fluent, like a bead, although it was not obvious, but it was undoubtedly a happy pulse. Wu Qian was overjoyed, secretly thinking that it was better to come early than to come by coincidence, and today he was fortunate to diagnose Xiao Changzai's happy pulse and please the emperor, which will be of great benefit to his future career.
Wu Qian smiled and congratulated Qianlong: "Congratulations to the emperor, Xiao Chang is here and has been pregnant for more than a month. ”
Qianlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up in surprise, took Xiao Yan's hand, looked at Xiao Yan's still very flat lower abdomen with a smile, said a few good words one after another, and then asked, "How is Xiao Changzai's body?" Can the fetus in the womb be well? ”
Wu Qian replied respectfully: "Xiao Changzai is in good condition with the dragon fetus in his womb, as long as he takes the fetal pills on time, he will definitely be able to give birth to the dragon fetus." It's just that Xiao Chang is still young and his bones have not yet grown, and if the dragon fetus is too big, he is afraid that he will suffer a lot when he gives birth. Therefore, the slave does not need to eat too greasy during pregnancy, and the tonic needs to be moderate and appropriate. ”
When Qianlong heard what Wu Qian said, he immediately thought of Xiao Yan's slender waist, and couldn't help frowning, and nodded: "What Wenji (Wu Qian's words) said is reasonable. Naturally, I can trust your medical skills. You go and prescribe a tocolytic pill for Xiao Changzai, and then draw up a recipe suitable for Xiao Changzai to eat. From now on, the fetus in Xiao Chang's womb will be left to you to take care of. No matter how precious and rare the medicinal materials you need, you can open your mouth directly to me, as long as there is one in the treasury of the palace, you can take it directly with my edict and take it into the medicine. I repeat, I will not allow Xiao Changzai and the fetus in his womb to slip through the cracks. ”
Wu Qian hurriedly kowtowed respectfully to Qianlong, and said, "The slave obeys the order, and will do everything possible to keep Xiao Changzai and the dragon fetus in his womb safe and sound." ”
Qianlong instructed Wu Qian to decoction the fetal pill and present it to Xiao Yan to take, but when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yan sitting a little stunned, and his phoenix eyes, which were radiant on weekdays, showed a little confusion, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his delicate and beautiful little face was faintly sad.
Qianlong thought that Xiao Yan was pregnant at a young age, and naturally there was some uneasiness and fear in his heart, and he suddenly felt very pity in his heart, patted the back of Xiao Yan's hand comfortingly, turned his head to Wu Shulai and instructed: "Wu Shulai, immediately spread my will, Xiao Chang is in Xiuwaihui, pregnancy is meritorious, from now on, he will be promoted to Xiao Guiren." ”
Qianlong thought for a moment, then said to Xiao Yan with a smile: "I see that the main hall of Chuxiu Palace has been idle for a long time, and it is more spacious than this western side hall and the Slow Blessing Palace. After a while, I ordered someone to clean up the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, give the name of the body and the hall, and you can move over to live. ”
