"The doctor said I was happy......

On the way back to Chang'an, Qin Fei repeated this short sentence over and over again in his heart, sometimes ecstatic, and he didn't expect that he and Ah Wei would have a baby again.

From time to time, I was a little nervous, why did the letter say "Xu is happy", wasn't it diagnosed by the doctor? Why do you have to add the word "Xu Is", what kind of three-legged cat doctor is this, and I can't even be sure about the happy pulse?

But if Ah Wei really has joy, she was so difficult when she gave birth to Zhu before, and now she is in her thirties, wouldn't it be more dangerous to give birth at this advanced age?

The only thing he didn't suspect was that Cai Wei was just cheating on him, just to trick him into going back, because he knew that Cai Wei might joke with him about other trivial things, but she would never joke with herself about the child.

When he hurried back to Daming Palace non-stop, it was already ugly at night the next day. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he asked the queen if she was okay, knowing that Cai Wei was still managing the government as usual these days, and she was relieved that she had no disasters or diseases. Running all the way back to the Palace of Eternal Life, he was afraid of waking up the sleeping Caiwei, so he took a light step and walked in softly, staring at her sleeping face for a while by the faint candlelight, and then lightly exited the inner room, and asked Xiangcheng what they should eat and live since he left Beijing.

After asking a few words, he asked almost trembling in his voice: "Ah Wei, how did you find out that you are happy?" Is it diagnosed by diagnosing Ping An Pulse? ”

Xiangcheng shook her head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the queen mother has been very well recuperated over the years, and she only asks for peace once a month." At the beginning of the month, when Imperial Physician Fu came to ask for the pulse of Niangniang, he only said that Niangniang's jade body was fine, and nothing was diagnosed. Or a few days ago, Niangniang was always nauseous, and she didn't have much appetite for eating, so she invited Dr. Fu to diagnose the pulse, and it was diagnosed like a happy pulse. ”

"What do you mean by being like a happy pulse?" Qin Fei is on fire, are these imperial doctors all eating dry rice? I can't even diagnose a happy pulse. As early as when he entered the palace gate, he ordered the two female doctors who diagnosed the queen's pulse to go to the Palace of Eternal Life, and he asked him carefully.

Over the years, the people who have diagnosed Caiwei's pulse are all female doctors. In order to improve the well-being of women over the years, Cai Wei has not only opened silk factories and women's schools, so that their pockets and heads will not be as empty as before. She also used her private money to set up women's medical centers in various states and counties, Huikun Hall, for those women who were forced to go to male doctors for diagnosis and treatment, lest they would die for fear that the male doctor would not be treated for fear that the male doctor would see their body and bad reputation, and give their lives in vain.

Since there is a medical center, it is natural that there must be enough female doctors to become successful, and Cai Wei is looking for talents, and as a result, the people have obtained a few female doctors with excellent medical skills. Cai Wei invited them to the palace to be imperial doctors, and gave lectures to folk women or palace ladies who were willing to learn medical skills, and the medical women who had completed their studies were sent to the Huikun Pavilion in various states and counties for consultation. These invited female doctors will only keep two disciples to teach in the palace every year, and by the way, they will diagnose the queen and the palace people, and the rest of the female doctors will go to various states and counties to make rounds to answer all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases that the apprentices can't deal with.

Qin Fei naturally agreed with both hands for Cai Wei to appoint a female imperial doctor to diagnose her, his Awei's body can only be touched by him, even if it must be touched by others, it must be a woman, and it must not be a man. But at this time, he was a little suspicious of the medical skills of these female doctors, why didn't he even have the confidence to diagnose a happy pulse, was this because he was afraid that in case of empty joy, their husband and wife would take their lives in anger?

However, what made him even more angry was that he had already passed the order, but the two female doctors dared to disrespect his holy will, so they didn't come to see him at all, but just handed over a letter. The palace man who replied whispered: "The two female disciples who served beside the imperial physician said that they expected His Majesty to summon them tonight, and they had already written the answer to His Majesty's desire to know in this letter, please take a look!" ”

Qin Fei said angrily: "Why don't they come and tell me in person, this is a disobedience?" ”

The palace people shuddered, and had to cast a look of help to Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng hurriedly lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty is angry, it was the queen mother who told them to just sleep well tonight, no matter who calls them to get up, don't pay attention." ”

Qin Fei came back to his senses at this time, and quickly opened the letter handed over to him, and sure enough, it was Cai Wei's handwriting, which read: "The imperial doctor said that I was happy, and the words 'Xu Is' were added by me, see if you are still angry with me and run away from home next time?" At the end, a big grimace was drawn, and Qin Fei couldn't laugh or cry.

Cai Wei really didn't lie to him about having a child, but she just added two more words, which made him panic, but instead taught him fiercely. And he was sure that he would rush back non-stop, and even pinched him when he came back, even if he was angry, he was reluctant to wake her up from a good night's sleep, and pregnant women must sleep well. Not only can I not get angry, but I just want to share with her the joy of being a parent again, and I have to wait until she wakes up.

Qin Fei glanced at the leak, there were still two or three hours before dawn, he was no longer living like a year, he was simply a year. But no matter how tormented it is, you have to keep your eyes open and wait.

Although he galloped for a day and a night, he was not sleepy at all, and there was nothing but ecstasy in his chest. They're going to have kids again! That's great!

When they were separated from each other before, and the ministers were not in a hurry to get together and leave more, the ministers were not in a hurry about the heirs, and when they were reunited, the ministers were like they had nothing else to do, and every day they urged him to have a child quickly, when he was a breeding pig?

If he didn't want a child born to him by Cai Wei, he really didn't have much feeling about the heir, and everything that has no descendants and passed on the family line is all nonsense in his opinion. In the matter of the continuation of the bloodline, he is the same as Emperor Gaozong, whom he admires the most: "There is an end of descendants, and even this Great Qin Dynasty will one day cease to exist, but my exploits will be forever praised by the world." Why do you have to have a son to inherit? ”

He had already prepared for the two of them to grow old together in this life, and even wanted to wait a few years to adopt a child, but he never expected Cai Wei to have it, it can be seen that what Dr. Yao said when he was in Yunnan that day, although it was difficult to have an heir, as long as he recuperated well, he was still full of vitality. Maybe the two of them didn't care much about this matter, but they had such an unexpected joy, just as the saying goes: If you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you have no intention of planting willows and willows!

It's just that ......, after the initial ecstasy of confirming that his wife was indeed pregnant, he began to worry about whether Caiwei's body could withstand all the fatigue of this pregnancy. So the next morning, when Cai Wei was full of sleep and opened her eyes, the handsome face that greeted her was not ecstatic, but sad.

She blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly: "What, I'm pregnant again, aren't you happy?" ”

Qin Fei didn't answer, he carefully held her in his arms, and kissed her first to relieve his lovesickness these days.

Then he buried his head in Cai Wei's arms, and said sullenly: "I was very happy, and if I like it, I will rush back immediately, but I am a little scared at this time, we are all not young, and pregnancy and childbirth are so hard, when you gave birth to Zhu'er, I didn't want you to have a second one, just have one, it doesn't matter if you don't have me, I'm afraid of your body...... I'm afraid I'll lose it......"

Cai Wei quietly listened to him talk about the panic and fear in his heart, just patted him lightly on the back, and waited for him to calm down, before he smiled: "What did those miracle doctors say back then, I can get pregnant again, it can be seen that my body has been recuperated very well, and you are by my side to take care of me personally, when you give an order to invite all the gynecological saints in the world to the palace, I will only be better raised in the past few months." ”

"But this childbirth is really ......" He is now afraid when he thinks about Cai Wei Shengzhu's childhood, and occasionally dreams of that terrible scene when he has nightmares.

"Don't worry, I have asked the doctors a long time ago, and they said that it is always more difficult for a woman to give birth to a child for the first time, not to mention that I was in a special situation at that time, so it was so difficult. This is the second time to produce a lot easier than before. As long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything! ”

Qin Fei hugged her tightly, "Well, this time I will definitely not leave you, and I will stay by your side every step of the way." One of the biggest regrets in my life is that you couldn't protect your mother and daughter when you were pregnant with Zhu, you were pregnant and risked for me, and you couldn't be by your side when you needed it most. This time the sky is falling, and I will never let you leave me even half a step. ”

Cai Wei leaned on his arms and said lazily: "Is this true? ”

"It's more real than real money! Even if you're not pregnant, I'm reluctant to leave you! Qin Fei hurriedly sent a love message.

It's a pity that he was soon slapped in the face, "You men like to deceive people with clever words, and they are reluctant to leave me one step if they say it well, so who is it that I have lived with me in this Daming Palace for less than three months, so I am anxious to go out on patrol, thinking that I am tired of seeing my family flower in the Palace of Eternal Life, and I can't wait to go out to enjoy the wild flowers along the road." ”

Qin Fei knew that he was wrong, touched his nose, and said curtly: "It's not that you are too cold to me, I just thought about Xiao Biesheng getting married and going out for a few days, so that you can remember my goodness, and don't snub me." I didn't expect that I had only been out for a few days, and it turned out to be a big loss! ”

Not only was he trained by Cai Wei, but what made him cry without tears was that if he ran out without anger, he would be able to go back to Cai Wei before he learned the good news, but now it would be good, he would not be able to get close to Cai Wei for at least another year, and he would have to be hungry again before he had enough food.

Cai Wei said depressedly: "Where did I snub you?" Although sometimes Qin Fei always sticks to him like a kraft candy, it does make her a little upset while being happy. But because she knew the most fragile corner of Qin Fei's heart, she never showed a trace of disgust on her face, and when she was with him, she was either tender or passionate.

Although Qin Fei felt a little shameless about eating a bunch of women's flying vinegar, he still gritted his teeth and said, "You would rather stay with your cabinet ladies than accompany me, you are just snubbing me!" ”

Cai Wei had a headache, she knew that Qin Fei had always been very jealous, but she didn't expect him to even eat women's flying vinegar. She can only stay by his side inseparably for twelve hours a day, and she can't see anyone else in her eyes except him, let alone stay with others, even if she is with a few women to discuss serious things, otherwise she is snubbing him, snubbing the incomparably noble emperor!

Cai Wei suddenly didn't want to say anything, she pushed Qin Fei away and said, "I'll go wash up first." After breakfast, I still have to go to Yihe Hall to discuss matters! ”

Qin Fei didn't let her go, and said with a sinking face: "You are pregnant, why do you still have to discuss things." Ah Wei, I was just about to tell you, you are a double body now, not as usual, especially in the first three months, you must not be tired, what are you going to discuss with them? Originally, I couldn't be busy with these government affairs before, so I was tired of you sharing them for me, but now I don't have to be busy fighting, I should also take over this burden and let you have a good rest. ”

Cai Wei knew that Qin Fei said this, she was just worried about her body, but she couldn't agree, because she was afraid, afraid that once she retreated to the harem and waited for childbirth with peace of mind, without asking about political affairs, then the well-being that she had built up for women with great difficulty in the past ten years would disappear under the counterattack and suppression of male power in the near future.

Even if Zou Qing and the others wrote letters to persuade her after knowing Cai Wei's concerns, they still couldn't eliminate the worries in her heart.

Zou Qing and the others said, Cai Wei knows all the progress they have made on the road of women's rights in the past ten years, and who knows better than her. Although it is only a short ten years, when some women escape from the oppression of patriarchy and husbandry, can earn abundant money with their own hands, can read and write, know the truth about women in this world, and can truly grasp and create their own lives, the energy they radiate is so amazing that it is simply terrifying.

In the fifth year of Yuanjia, a woman named Zhen Li had nowhere to go after being abandoned by her husband's family because she had no children, so she was taken into An Nutang, weaving every day to support herself. Although she had never read, she was ingenious by nature, and she came up with a new type of loom from a spinning wheel that had fallen to the ground, and after half a year's effort, she spun ten times as much silk and satin cloth in one day as the original loom. Because Zhen Li was unwilling to show her real name, Cai Wei only took the beautiful character in her name after obtaining her consent, and gave her the name "Zhenli Textile Machine", which was vigorously promoted throughout the country.

A year later, a woman named Wa Niang saw the lid of the pot that was opened by the water vapor when she was boiling water, and she invented a steam engine on a whim.

It is precisely because of the advent of the Zhenli textile machine and the Wa Niang steam engine that small silk weaving factories have been built in the Annutang in various states and counties across the country. In this way, not only has the efficiency of the female textile workers been greatly improved, and they can weave more silk in less time to exchange for more gold and silver overseas, but also allow the women workers to save more time every day to read and write, watch operas and listen to music. Later, not only were many unmarried girls sent by their families to work in the silk mills, but even many married women were sent by their husbands to work, because they earned more money in a day's work than they could earn in a month.

For women who want to come to join or work, Ann Nutang does not refuse all those who come. For Cai Wei and others, the establishment of An Nutang is not only to give homeless women a place to stay, but also to create a beacon to promote feminist ideas such as equality between women and men, hoping that more women will be illuminated by the light of this lighthouse in their future life.

Especially in the seventh year of Yuanjia, as the first batch of female students completed their studies from the girls' school, one after another novels and operas to promote equality between men and women and satirize men's brainwashing texts came out one after another. At first, it was widely circulated among women, but later because the plot and writing of some novels and stories were so brilliantly written, many male storytellers adapted them into storytelling, and they were widely sung in teahouses and restaurants.

At the beginning, there were one or two shameless literati who wanted to change their faces to plagiarize the wonderful essays written by women, and then change them to the kind of routines that men like to see, and they were all sued and sent to the yamen to be severely punished according to the newly promulgated "Daqin Copyright Law", and the punishment was extremely miserable, and the reward for the whistleblower alone was a lot of money, not to mention a huge amount of compensation to be paid to the original author.

Under a series of measures she vigorously promoted, more and more women began to achieve spiritual and material independence, they could no longer rely on men to beg for a living, they began to realize how unfair they were treated in this patriarchal, male-respecting country, and more and more women began to wake up from men's brainwashing.

These short ten years are just a white horse in the long river of history, but for these women who have been oppressed by male power for thousands of years, they have taken the first step that women have not taken in thousands of years. They began to yearn for freedom and equality, in addition to the life of a good wife and mother who revolves around men and children, they long for more different and more energetic lives.

To do this, they need to continue to take the second and third steps, to continue to fight for the rights that are rightfully theirs from men. But at this critical time, the queen mother, who is the biggest backer of the women's rights cause, is leaving the court because she is pregnant and giving birth, which is by no means good news for the growing cause of women's rights.

Even if every male power suppression of them in the past ten years has been blocked by them, even if a considerable number of women have now joined their feminist army, even if seventy percent of the country's wealth is created by women, the power in the hands of women has never been stronger. But Caiwei is still worried, after all, male power has been poisoned in this land for thousands of years, and its far-reaching impact can be eliminated overnight in just ten years. If they give in at all, they will be immediately beaten back to their original form, fearing that they will be oppressed even more brutally than before.

But even though she ignored Qin Fei's opposition and the persuasion of all the women, she still wanted to stick to the government, but in the end she agreed to Qin Fei's plea and temporarily withdrew from the court. Not because of his pressure, but because of her body.

Her fetus is several times harder than when she was a child, dizziness, nausea, morning sickness, and even the two female doctors who treated her advised her not to worry about it anymore, and to put the fetus first, otherwise she was afraid, I was afraid that it would be ......

For the sake of the child in her womb, even if she is reluctant, she can only temporarily lose her hand. In order to reassure her, Qin Fei repeatedly promised her that he would retain the right of the cabinet wife to participate in politics, and brought the notes they wrote to her every day, and all the measures she had taken before were the same. Cai Wei felt a little more steady.

When she raised her for a few days, and the first three months were the most dangerous, seeing that Qin Fei really kept her promise, and the cabinet article Chen who gave her a purpose every day was the same as what Wu Juan secretly reported to her, she finally let go of most of her heart, and did not go against Qin Fei's intentions anymore, and promised him to continue to raise the baby in the Palace of Eternal Life without asking about the world and raising the baby with peace of mind.

However, what she didn't know was that her good sister Wu Juan had already gone to see Emperor Yuan Jia first when she secretly delivered the cabinet note for her for the first time.
