The emperor asked Dou Yun, "Why haven't there been any female doctors in Shangxiu Hall in the palace over the years?" ”

Dou Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied carefully, "The Inner Servant Mansion selects people in Shangxiu Hall, and the age is only under fifteen. `…… In the study of medical skills, it is difficult to be superb without seven or eight years of hard work, so it is extremely difficult to choose a qualified female doctor. After a pause, he added, "Shang Xiutang's rule, before studying medicine, you must first practice three years of planting skills, which adds up to ten years of hard work. ”

The emperor bowed his head slightly, "The scholar's hard study is ten years of cold windows, and a female doctor with superb medical skills will start learning from the age of four or five." As he spoke, he looked at Jin Yi and said with a smile:

"The princess told you all about the treatment you gave people in Beijing, and praised you for your mastery of the three ways of plant medicine and food. You have this attainment at a young age, and you have inherited the medical skills of the Zeng family, which is really commendable. If you want to enter the palace as a female official, the princess will not follow,......"

As he spoke, he looked at Dou Yun, "Qin Jinyi, the daughter of the Marquis of Qingrong, was awarded the position of a five-grade doctor in the Tai Hospital, and the official name was 'Good Doctor'." You have recorded the file and sent it to the hospital for the record, you don't have to be on duty every day, if there is a request from the wife of the court and the family members, you must treat it with the courtesy of a medical officer. ”

In the previous dynasty, there was a special position for medical women in the Tai Hospital, which was an eight-rank official position, and it was often selected from the palace maids to learn gynecological medical skills, and there were also those who were selected into the palace in Shangxiu Hall. Although he is also on a temporary job in the Tai Hospital, his position is low, and he is issued by the palace maid, which is like a low-level palace maid, just doing something like a medicine servant???.? `

Now Jin Yi has been awarded the five-grade official position of the Ether Hospital, and has been given the official name by the emperor. It was different from before, but he was a medical officer who was taking the Eight Classics and taking the Lu. Only the female dependents of wealthy families who are qualified to ask for a doctor can extend the invitation, and from then on, medical skills cannot be questioned at will. There is no need to treat people as Miss Houmen as before, and it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment and impropriety.

Jin Yi knelt down to thank him, thinking that the emperor could do this, it was all the princess's strong recommendation to him, and he was inexplicably moved.

The emperor smiled at her gently: "In the future, after Zeng Anyun returns to Beijing, I will ask you to take care of it more." ”

Jin Yi nodded yes. The emperor looked at her with a smile in his eyes for a long time, did not speak again, and motioned for her to leave.

Jin Yi saluted and retreated. Mei Hua took him out of the side hall and walked in the direction of the imperial dining room.

Along the way, she asked about the symptoms of the queen's illness, the imperial doctor's statement and the prescriptions she uses today, and Mei Hua explained them to her one by one.

Arrived in the Imperial Dining Room. Mei Hua called the imperial chef who was in charge of the queen's meal. Jin Yi was introduced to several people, "...... Miss Qin Er is now a good doctor personally appointed by the emperor, and she is a five-grade medical officer, and she will personally instruct you to cook medicinal food, you have to study hard. ”

Several imperial chefs looked surprised and curious when they heard this.

Jin Yigang listened to Aunt Mei Hua's description, and knew something about the queen's illness in her heart, even though she is now a medical officer, but the queen's illness is not something that her little five-grade imperial doctor can personally diagnose the pulse. w?

According to the judgment of the imperial doctor. The queen only had some slight gall and heat symptoms, which caused the stomach to be hot and anorexic. Although the prescribed medicine can reduce the intestines, the medicinal juice is bitter and hot, but it makes the burden on the spleen and stomach heavier, which is contrary to the urgency of the void and reality.

The harem rules are stricter than the family mansion, Jin Yi naturally can't touch the ingredients in the imperial dining room at will, let alone cook by himself, so he will think about a few medicinal diets that nourish yin and warm all the way, the combination of medicinal materials and ingredients, the order of cooking, the heat and other details, briefly explain to a few people.

The imperial chef in the palace is very capable in cooking, Jin Yi didn't dare to get an axe, and asked for advice while speaking with a humble attitude, and several people nodded again and again when they heard it.

Although these people are highly accomplished in the cooking of ingredients, they only know a little more about pharmacology than ordinary people, and after listening to Jinyi's advice, they all feel suddenly enlightened, and they admire this Miss Houmen, who was named a five-grade medical officer at a young age.

After the imperial chefs discussed with her, they immediately entered the kitchen, and according to Jinyi's method, after a short time, they made a few pastries, Yuling sour jujube cake, tulip medicine cake, cherry pear crisp, and a pot of lotus seed Qingxin tea.

Mei Hua took Jinyi, followed by the palace maid holding the food box, and returned to Fengluan Palace together.

Entering the palace, the queen was talking to the two old ladies, and when she saw Jinyi coming back, the three of them kept silent. Jin Yi caught a glimpse of the two old ladies with a bit of a gloomy look on their faces, and the queen glanced at the two indifferently, and then said to Jin Yi with a smile:

"Sister Yi'er is the first female medical officer in our court!"

Just now, Dou Yun had already come over to report the matter, and the two old ladies secretly considered it in their hearts after hearing it, the emperor's special case of sealing Qin Jinyi to his official position must also be for the sake of the queen's face.

Later, when the two vaguely mentioned Qin Jinxiu's unbearable conduct, although the queen was a little moved, she said lightly, "There is only such a niece left in the court in this palace now, and the Marquis of Qingrong is honest, presumably Jinyi's sister will not be so ......unbearable."

Mrs. Wang was about to hint to the queen, but Mrs. Qingronghou did not want to see Jinyi, the daughter of the original match, but at this time, Meihua held the food box in her hand and brought Jinyi in, so she had to stop.

The queen glanced at the food on the table, and nodded with a smile, "These have an appetite when they look at them, and they are a hundred times better than those bitter soups." ”

Jin Yiqing said with a smile: "Niangniang's illness is not a solid disease, and she originally got better faster after taking medicine." If the mother is afraid of the medicine and swallows it, she will have to eat this medicinal food for a few more days. Originally, it could be cured in three or five days, but I am afraid it will take half a month to eat this. ”

The queen took a piece of sour jujube cake, tasted it lightly, and smiled happily: "If eating these every day can cure the disease, then it doesn't hurt to eat it for a month." ”

Let the two old ladies taste it together.

Jujube cake is sweet and sour and soft and glutinous, the tulip medicine is fragrant and tender, the cherry fragrant pear is crisp and red and white, it is lovely, it melts in the mouth, the taste is sweet and refreshing, and I drank the lotus seed tea, the fragrance is full of mouth, the aftertaste is slightly sweet and bitter, and the sweetness and sourness in the mouth before slowly overflow on the taste buds, which makes people feel comfortable.

Everyone was full of praise, and Kuajinyi's cooking skills were exquisite.

"Jin Yi didn't dare to take the credit, but discussed a few recipes with the imperial chefs, the pastries are all made by them, the cooking skills of the imperial dining room are really unparalleled in the world, the medicine is mixed in the ingredients, and there is no bitterness and incursion." Jin Yi said respectfully to the queen: "The courtiers have told the imperial chefs about the preparation method of the medicinal diet and the ingredients selected, and then make some novel and exquisite food every day, so that the mother will not get tired of eating for a long time." ”

The queen nodded in satisfaction.

After sitting for a while, the two old ladies saw that she was not as kind as before, and they were a little frightened in their hearts, worried that what they said before would dislike her, and it was inconvenient for Jin Yi to say more, so they had to get up and ask for their resignation.

The queen said "um", "What the two old ladies just said, this palace will think about it in two days." After that, he ordered Mei Hua to take the three of them out.

The two old ladies were a little puzzled in their hearts, although the queen said that she would take care of her niece, but seeing that she was not very intimate with Jinyi, and she didn't know much about her situation, she really didn't care as much as she did for her juniors.

The two of them couldn't figure it out in their hearts, and they were a little disappointed, and they congratulated Jinyi a few words after they came out.

Mrs. Wang said: "The last peach blossom feast failed to bloom, and the mansion was very unhappy. Tomorrow in the mansion, if Mrs. Huan is free, it is better to come and sit down. ”

Old Madam Huan bowed her head slightly, "Then the old man will bring a few daughters-in-law to disturb him." ”

Old Madam Wang smiled: "That's really polite. He said to Jin Yi again: "You must come then, I will ask Chen'er to thank you." ”

Jin Yi didn't know how to answer, so she had to smile and respond. (To be continued.) )
