Man Tanghong

Chapter 11
Yang Miaoyan has a guilty conscience and doesn't have much confidence in speaking.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Miaoyan's reaction a little funny.

Am I that scary?

Li Yuanji stepped forward, walked to the stone table, glanced at the books on the table, and was slightly taken aback, ""Treatise on Febrile Diseases"?"

This book was written by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing. When it was handed down to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a lot of it was lost.

The "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" seen by later generations was recompiled in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are many shortcomings from the original work.

"How can you read this book?"

Li Yuanji questioned.

A concubine, reading this book, is a bit out of business.

Although the princess has nothing to do.

Yang Miaoyan took a look at Li Yuanji's face first, seeing that Li Yuanji's face was as usual, she said softly: "Recently, many people in the house have suffered from cold, and the ministers and concubines have nothing to do, so let's see if there is any cure. .”

Li Yuanji was stunned, "Isn't there an imperial physician?"

Yang Miaoyan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Only then did Li Yuanji realize that this question was a bit stupid, and it was no different from the phrase 'why not eat minced meat'.

Imperial physicians are specialized in treating emperors, concubines, and princes and grandchildren.

Occasionally, he was sent by the emperor to see a doctor for the elderly important ministers. Some important ministers with serious illnesses in the house would also ask the emperor to send the imperial physician to the house to see a doctor from time to time.

The Imperial Hospital only has so few people. After taking care of the emperor, concubines, princes and grandsons, and then all the officials, there is not much energy left.

There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, and they can't leave the palace without permission. One has a headache and brain fever, and he either fights or finds a drug boy from the Tai Hospital.

The problem is that it's winter, the season of wind and cold, and the medicine boys can't take care of them.

"Ahem, did you see anything?"

Li Yuanji quickly changed the subject.

Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, her husband usually wouldn't ask these questions, he would just say 'oh', and then he didn't care.

"Didn't see anything?"

Seeing that Yang Miaoyan was silent, Li Yuanji continued to ask.

Yang Miaoyan came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I have seen a few good prescriptions, but my concubine does not understand the properties of medicines and does not know which prescriptions correspond to which diseases, so I dare not use them rashly."

Li Yuanji nodded, "I remember that there are a few female doctors in the palace, and I will call them to the mansion tomorrow to teach you. There are some spiritual servants in the mansion, and you can let them follow suit."

Li Yuanji was very magnanimous, and he didn't think that a princess studying medicine was not doing her job properly.

On the contrary, under this medical condition, in an era when there are few medical practitioners, the more people who study medicine, the more lives can be saved.

If a princess takes the lead in studying medicine, it can also improve the status of some medical industries.

Yang Miaoyan's eyes widened, watery like a frightened deer.

Li Yuanji's decision was a bit beyond her expectation.

She thought that Li Yuanji would object, but she did not expect that Li Yuanji not only did not object, but strongly supported it.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Miaoyan's frightened look, and said amusedly, "Why, you don't want to?"

Yang Miaoyan immediately said: "Thank you, Alang."

Li Yuanji said brazenly: "You and my husband and wife, what kind of thank you."

This sentence gave Yang Miaoyan a lot of courage, she couldn't help but said: "Ah Lang went to the concubine's place today, but did he ask the concubine Xingshi to question his crime?"

Li Yuanji said dumbfoundedly: "I can't go back to my bedroom because of nothing?"

Yang Miaoyan explained: "The concubine didn't mean that. The concubine lent Gao Shangyi to my sister without going through A Lang. A Lang would definitely blame the concubine."

Li Yuanji glanced at Yang Miaoyan meaningfully.

Yang Miaoyan looked like a timid fawn, harmless to humans and animals, but what she said made Li Yuanji realize that she was very smart.

The elder sister she was talking about was Mrs. Yang of Prince Qin's Mansion.

She and she belonged to the Hongnong Yang family, a large family in Guanzhong, and they are all descendants of the former Sui Guan Wang Yang Xiong.

They are just cousins, not real sisters.

When Li Yuan married his predecessor, he felt that since he was the emperor and had a high status, he had to get his son a daughter-in-law with five surnames and seven Wangs to be his concubine.

But he was wrong about the arrogance of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

They have no intention of marrying their prostitute daughter to their predecessors at all.

Li Yuan almost died of anger, but there was nothing he could do about his family's five surnames and seven expectations, so he could only settle for the next best thing, and chose a daughter of a wealthy family in Guanzhong to be his son's daughter-in-law.

The five surnames and Qiwang trees have deep roots, even if Li Yuan is the emperor, he can't easily provoke them.

Yang Miaoyan insisted that Li Yuanji would definitely blame her, and she used this to tell Li Yuanji that she already knew that she was wrong.

If Li Yuanji was angry, he would dissipate a lot after hearing this.

If you reprimand Yang Miaoyan again, it will not be so severe.

"It's just Shangyi. If you borrow it, you can borrow it. It's not a big deal. You are the mistress of the house, and the decision you make is my decision."

Li Yuanji said grandly.

Yang Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuanji's words also made her feel inexplicably comfortable.

In the past, her husband made decisions on the big and small affairs of the house without giving her a chance to intervene. He also vehemently denied a series of decisions she made. respected her.

What Li Yuanji said today made her feel respected, and she also felt a little bit of the feeling of being the mistress of Prince Qi's mansion.

Li Yuanji continued: "I'm looking for you today because I have something to ask you to come forward."

Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed, "Ah Lang ordered..."

Li Yuanji said angrily and amusedly: "Didn't you just say that, you and I, husband and wife, don't need to be like this."

Yang Miaoyan got up, a little dazed, but also a little scared.

Her husband's performance today is completely different from that of the past. Before, he was like a knife and ax, but today he is like a spring breeze.

She felt that her husband might be entrusting her with some difficult tasks, and even asked her to make certain sacrifices.

"You go to Ye Ting Palace in the next few days, select some palace people, and replace the palace people in the house."

Li Yuanji explained after Yang Miaoyan got up.

Yang Miaoyan was a little confused, "That's all?"

Just after saying this, Yang Miaoyan's face changed, and she looked at the four maidservants behind her.

Li Yuanji saw Yang Miaoyan's thoughts, before Yang Miaoyan could speak, he said slowly: "There are many people crammed into the house, Gao Shangyi you sent out today is one of them.

I don't intend to continue to pursue this matter, but no one can say for sure if there are no other people hidden in the house.

I'm too lazy to screen them one by one, it's better to replace them all.

People you trust can stay. "

Li Yuanji tried his best to explain the matter to Yang Miaoyan clearly, lest Yang Miaoyan, a woman who looked weak on the face but delicate in heart, think too much.

Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, then finished digesting Li Yuanji's words.

Yang Miaoyan asked with a slightly complicated expression: "Gao Shangyi is from Qin Palace?"

Yang Miaoyan already understood that she was being used by her elder sister.

Li Yuanji nodded.

Yang Miaoyan lowered her head slightly, "The concubine understands."

Li Yuanji said with a relaxed expression: "I'll leave this matter to you. If there are any people in the house who are pushed in by others, I will only ask you."

Yang Miaoyan nodded solemnly.

She is the hostess of Prince Qi's Mansion, and it is actually her responsibility to manage the female relatives and palace staff of Prince Qi's Mansion.

In the past, she had no right to control, but now Li Yuanji has given her the power, and if something goes wrong, it is really time to ask her for responsibility.

After explaining the matter, Li Yuanji didn't intend to stay any longer, so Li Yuanji copied the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" on the stone table and shook it at Yang Miaoyan, "Let me read it for a few days, anyway, you won't have time to read it later. "

Yang Miaoyan let out a 'hmm'.

As Li Yuanji said, for the next period of time, she really didn't have time to read.

The house is not clean, as the hostess, she must clean the house.

For the next period of time, she has to be busy cleaning the house.

Li Yuanji took "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and left the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

After Li Yuanji left, Yang Miaoyan stood there with a complicated expression for a long time.

A servant girl was courageous and said timidly: "Your Highness seems to be different from usual?"

The other three servants nodded along.

Yang Miaoyan did not respond to their words, but ordered softly, "Go and find Fu Fu."

The Fu maid that Yang Miaoyan mentioned was one of her dowry maids.

When she was in her natal family, she studied 'back house management'.

Women from aristocratic families learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting after birth, and their dowry maids and servants learn "back house management", "money management", "land property management" and so on.

This is also the reason why well-known families like to marry women from aristocratic families.

Marrying a woman from a rich family will not only get a generous dowry, but also a large number of management talents, and can also borrow some top talents and huge connections from her natal family.

When Yang Miaoyan was busy cleaning up the Qi Palace.

Li Yuanji has returned to the main hall of Wude Hall.

After sitting for a long time, Li Yuanji was not in a hurry to look at the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in his hand, but muttered with a smile, "From the memory of my predecessor, Princess Qi is a harmless little rabbit.

It was only when I saw her today that I realized that this princess Qi is not only a harmless little rabbit, but a very smart woman.

If her methods are tougher, I won't have to worry about fires in the backyard when I charge outside.

Then we'll see what she does..."

Yang Miaoyan's performance today was definitely a surprise to Li Yuanji.

Yang Miaoyan wants to have a good appearance, a personality, a family background, wisdom and wisdom, and a little bit of means, then she is a very good helper.

In the future, Yang Miaoyan will be in charge of the Qi Palace, and Li Yuanji will not have to bother about the affairs of the Qi Palace.

In the future, I can concentrate on dealing with things outside the house.

"It's just a little younger..."

Li Yuanji sighed.

Even animals can't get out of their mouths.

After Li Yuanji sighed, he picked up "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and read it.

On the front page of the scroll, there is a seal, which is the seal of the former Sui Wenguan.

This book should be the collection of the former Sui royal family that Li Shimin transported back from Luoyang Palace.

Emperor Sui Yang of the former Sui Dynasty did a lot of absurd things, but also did a lot of good things.

Later generations scolded Emperor Sui Yang more than praised him, so that many good things that Emperor Sui Yang did were rarely mentioned.

Collecting books and building libraries is one of the good policies of Emperor Sui Yang.
