Apprenticeship to medicine
The diagnosis and treatment process of the imperial doctors is still very fast, after all, the illness of the eldest grandson queen is considered a chronic disease, and after years of diagnosis, these imperial doctors have already had mature experience.
It's just that Empress Changsun is still pregnant at this time, so she needs to make some adjustments in terms of medication.
Just when Sun Huipu prescribed the prescription and was about to arrange for someone to get the medicine and decoction, Li Shimin, who had just received the news, hurriedly came to the Lizheng Palace.
He has a deep relationship with Empress Changsun and his wife, and after hearing that Empress Changsun is sick, where do he still have the heart to deal with state affairs?
After Li Shimin entered the door, he immediately asked Sun Huipu: "How is the queen's condition, is there a big problem?" β
Sun Huipu replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang's body is fine, mainly because of the transition of autumn and summer, and the recurrence of old diseases caused by weather changes. β
After listening to Sun Huipu's words, Li Shimin first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with a frown: "Is there no way to cure the queen's chronic disease?" β
After listening to Li Shimin's question, Sun Huipu said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive your majesty, the subordinate officials are not good at learning and art, and they really can't share their worries for their mothers." β
In fact, Sun Huipu's answer was already expected by Li Shimin, and the reason why he asked like this was just because the expectation in his heart had never been broken.
According to the imperial doctors, Empress Changsun's illness was inherited from her mother, and since it was a congenital disease, there was basically no possibility of cure.
Over the years, Li Shimin has visited many famous artists, and basically all of them have the same statement.
After Li Shimin once again got a negative answer from the mouth of the imperial doctor, his mood obviously became a little depressed.
So he reluctantly smiled at Sun Huipu and waved his hand and said, "This matter is not the fault of Aiqing and others, and I naturally won't blame it." β
Empress Eldest Sun, who was lying on the bed, also said at this time: "Your Majesty does not need to worry about the health of the concubines, the concubines have been used to it over the years. β
Li Shimin sat on the side of the bed of Empress Changsun, held her hand and said: "You and I have known each other for many years, how can I rest assured that you have been in poor health!" β
Li Shimin's words were sincere, and everyone on the side was moved.
Seeing this, Sun Huipu could only sigh silently, like Li Shimin bowed and prepared to retire.
At this moment, Li Zhi, who had not spoken, suddenly blocked Sun Huipu in front of Sun Huipu with red eyes.
He bowed to Sun Huipu under the puzzled gaze of everyone and said, "Imperial Doctor Sun, Xiao Wang is not talented, I want to worship you as a teacher to learn medical skills, I hope you can give me advice." β
Li Zhi's behavior made everyone present puzzled, and everyone didn't know why Li Zhi made such a strange request.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, opened his mouth and asked, "Why did the pheasant slave think of studying medicine?" You know, studying medicine is hard. β
After listening to Li Shimin's question, Li Zhi replied without hesitation: "The queen mother's health is not good, and the son wants to learn medical skills to help her regulate her body." β
Although Li Zhi's answer seemed very naΓ―ve, it made Li Shimin feel very warm, he knew that Li Zhi had always been precocious, and now he must have thought about it after some consideration.
Although Li Shimin's heart was very happy, he still opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi: "Your mother's body is taken care of by the imperial doctors, and you don't need to worry about it. β
Li Zhidao: "Father, son-in-law read the Book of Filial Piety, which says: Husband and filial piety begin with the family, the middle is the king, and finally stands." The child is for the sake of his relatives, and he also asks his father to agree. β
Li Zhi's answer moved everyone present, although His Royal Highness the King of Jin in front of him was young, this filial piety was already difficult for ordinary people to reach.
After Li Shimin was silent for a while, he stood up from the side of the bed and walked to Li Zhi's side and said to Sun Huipu: "Now that Wu'er wants to follow you to study medicine, I wonder if Master Sun is willing to accept him as an apprentice?" β
Li Shimin's actions obviously agreed to Li Zhi's request, which made Sun Huipu both shocked and a little embarrassed.
It's not that he deliberately cherishes himself and refuses to pass on his medicine to Li Zhi, but he really can't imagine how Li Zhi, as a prince, can stand the pain of studying medicine.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness must know that medical knowledge is obscure and difficult to understand, and it takes countless efforts to achieve a little, and this process is very painful. β
After listening to Sun Huipu's words, Li Zhi said: "For the sake of the queen mother's body, Xiao Wang is not afraid of hardship. β
Li Zhi's filial piety and persistence left Sun Huipu speechless, and he finally agreed to Li Zhi's request to apprentice.
Li Shimin personally presided over a simple apprenticeship ceremony for Li Zhi, and after that, Li Zhi could be regarded as a medical leader.
The news of Empress Changsun's illness soon reached the ears of the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Yue, Li Tai, and the princess of Changle, Li Lizhen, and as the biological son of the eldest grandson, the three of them soon came to the Lizheng Palace.
The arrival of several children naturally made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun happy, after all, this reflected their filial piety.
It's just that in Li Zhi's opinion, except for his sister Li Lizhen, who is really worried about the body of the eldest grandson, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are completely acting in front of Li Shimin.
Not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to make a judgment just by looking at the actions of Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Except for caring about the body of Empress Changsun when they first arrived in the house, the two of them spent most of the time vaguely reporting their recent achievements to Li Shimin.
Li Zhi really couldn't get used to this kind of performance of the two, so he took Li Lizhi and ran to the pharmacy to see the pharmacist decocting medicine.
Li Lizhi has a gentle temperament, much like the eldest grandson, so although she didn't know why Li Zhi brought her to the pharmacy, she didn't ask much.
Li Zhi knew her temperament, so he said to Li Lizhi while helping the pharmacist fan the charcoal fire: "The eldest brother and the fourth brother only care about showing off their grades in front of their father, which makes people annoyed to listen to it. β
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Lizhi first smiled "poof", and then said: "As far as you have a lot of business, haven't they already greeted the queen mother, eldest brother?" β
After hearing this, Li Zhi pursed his lips and said: "When my father was not in the Lizheng Palace, they rarely came to greet my mother, but now I know that my father is coming, and they run faster than anyone else." β
Li Lizhi said: "They live far away from the harem and have heavy schoolwork every day, so it is understandable that they are not diligent on weekdays." β
Li Zhi said: "These are all excuses, even if they are too late to greet the queen mother after studying the nervous corner (the meaning of morning), but there is always time after the morning (afternoon), right?" β
Li Zhi's words made Li Lizhen speechless for a while.
You must know that in this day and age, it is a very important thing to ask your parents twice a day, morning and evening.
This point is not exempt even to Li Shimin, who is the emperor, and he has to go to Da'an Palace every day to ask Li Yuan for peace.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai really didn't do a good job in this regard, and now they happened to be taken out by Li Zhi to complain.
