They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Jiang Wanyue was really surprised.

It is not difficult to find a doctor these days, but female doctors, especially those with good medical skills, are rare.

It was once popular for women to study medicine in the previous dynasty. The Imperial Medical Bureau at that time even set up a special medical school for women. The female doctors trained there were not only used by concubines in the harem, but also sent to the public.

During those decades, many famous doctors emerged, all of them were women.

But in this dynasty, in order to suppress female rulers, not only did the Imperial Medical Service not recruit female doctors, but even the people did not like women learning medicine, and even listed female doctors as the lowest class.

Among the gossip girls, the medicine women are reduced to the same level as the servant traders, the shamans, and the brothel owners. How ridiculous is that?!

Jiang Wanyue collected her thoughts, looked at Cui Yan, and couldn't help asking.

"Where did Sister Cui get to know this female doctor?"

Cui Yan pursed her lips, and the smile on her lips faded a little.

"I met her at the border. This female doctor's family has been practicing medicine for generations, but they pass it down to males, not females. Originally, she had no qualifications to study medicine, but there were frequent wars at the border, and almost all the men in her family died on the battlefield. In order to pass on the medical skills, her elders allowed her to study medicine. When I was giving birth to my child, she helped and saved my life. It's a pity..."

Cui Yan couldn't continue.

Jiang Wanyue pulled her hand.

"In that case, this female doctor can be regarded as the lifesaver of my sister and the second young master. I would also like to get to know her if there is a chance. Although there are doctors in the mansion, there is a difference between men and women, which is sometimes inconvenient."

Cui Yan was stunned for a moment, then his expression slowly returned to normal.

"Yes!"

Xiuchun looked at her master, then at the concubine, and an idea came to her mind. She bravely asked.

"Madam, I wonder if this female doctor will accept apprentices? If there is a chance, I would like to learn a little."

Cui Yan opened her eyes slightly and looked at Xiuchun in surprise.

Xiuchun blushed and felt a little embarrassed for speaking up, but her face was full of seriousness.

Jiang Wanyue was also a little surprised.

She didn't expect Xiuchun would want to study medicine.

Then she thought, this is a good thing! Regardless of whether Xiuchun is by her side in the future, being able to learn a skill will be enough for her to establish herself.

Jiang Wanyue smiled and turned to ask Cui Yan.

"Please ask Sister Cui for help."

Cui Yan hummed, and there was a hint of vitality in her eyes.

Three people were talking happily here, when suddenly a discordant voice interrupted them.

"When did Aunt Jiang become so close to the concubine? It's really surprising!"

Jiang Wanyue turned her head and saw Guan Rou walk into the room. Although she had a smile on her face, there was anger in her eyes.

"Aunt Guan came here alone today?"

Jiang Wanyue greeted casually.

Guan Rou tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. She snorted and turned her head away.

"I am not as capable as Aunt Jiang, who can please both the prince and the concubine. This..."

Cui Yan glanced at her and pretended to be surprised.

"Is this Aunt Guan? I thought it was Aunt Luo!"

Aunt Luo likes to talk to people in a sarcastic way, and always in a sarcastic tone.

The anger in Guan Rou's eyes was about to overflow.

She gritted her teeth.

"How can I compare to Aunt Luo! She is the favorite of the prince now."

Jiang Wanyue glanced at her and turned her gaze away.

"Why hasn't Aunt Luo arrived yet?"

As they were talking, the princess came out.

When the princess saw three people, her expression became a little unhappy.

She pursed her lips and sat at the top seat, waving her hand to ask for tea, without saying a word the whole time.

Soon, the maids came in one after another and put down the teacups one by one.

Jiang Wanyue looked at the empty seat opposite Aunt Luo and sneered in her heart.

It turns out that all people are the same.

It is easy to get carried away once you gain power.

Even if it were me, if I hadn't learned from my previous life, I would probably be the same as Aunt Luo.

Jiang Wanyue drank her tea silently, thinking back to the previous times when she had not come to pay her respects and had asked her maid to report for leave.

That should be fine.

She took only one sip and put the teacup down.

Cui Yan's illness had not yet fully recovered, so she only wiped her lips.

The princess didn't drink a single sip.

Her face was gloomy and she spoke suddenly.

"Someone, go to Xianzhu Courtyard and see if Aunt Luo is seriously ill and dying and can't get out of bed, which is why she didn't come to pay her respects."

The princess's wet nurse immediately called a few maids and servants and rushed to Xianzhu Courtyard angrily.

Jiang Wanyue and the others just sat there.

The princess was angry, so it was not convenient for them to leave early.

Just sitting there like this is really exhausting.

Jiang Wanyue felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed her posture and glanced around, only to catch a glimpse of Guan Rou opposite her with a look of anticipation.

Ok?

She actually likes to gloat over other people's misfortunes.

Why is it that after Xie Lanxi was put under house arrest, Guan Rou became more and more impatient?

Could it be that he was influenced by Xie Lanxi?

Jiang Wanyue pondered in her heart.

Perhaps because of the presence of Xie Lanxi in the past, Guan Rou appears to be smart and sophisticated.

But in fact, Guan Rou was just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

They waited for another cup of tea before the wet nurse finally came back.

However, he still looked a little angry because he didn’t bring back Aunt Luo.

"When I arrived at Xianzhu Courtyard, I had just said a few words when Madam Luo complained that she was not feeling well and sent someone to call the palace doctor."

The princess snorted, picked up the cup of slightly cold tea and took a sip.

"Since she is ill, let the palace doctor treat her. By the way, have someone report to the prince and tell him that Aunt Luo is ill and cannot serve him these days."

Her face had returned to its usual calmness. After putting down the teacup, she glanced around.

"It's getting late, you should all go back!"

Jiang Wanyue was the first to stand up. After bending her knees, she walked out.

The three of them walked out of the main courtyard one after another. Cui Yan glanced in the direction of Xianzhu Courtyard and sighed.

"What are you fighting for?"

Guan Rou covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and was obviously in a good mood.

Jiang Wanyue didn't show the slightest bit of surprise from beginning to end.

How could Aunt Luo be a match for the princess?

As the principal wife and mistress, the princess naturally has the upper hand. If she wants to discipline and manage concubines, she has plenty of ways to do so, and she doesn't even need to alert the prince.

Usually she turned a blind eye to the fights among her concubines, because the concubines were fighting each other and it had nothing to do with her.

But if anyone dares to challenge her authority, she will not let him go.

Aunt Luo is probably still expecting Prince Jing to help her at this moment.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.

As expected, after receiving the message from the princess, Prince Jing in the front yard just said "I understand" and said nothing more.

The princess obviously knows Prince Jing very well.

He cared about the children, but not the concubines. As long as the princess didn't reach out to the illegitimate sons and daughters, her position was unbreakable.

Jiang Wanyue had this feeling when she first entered the mansion, and now it has only strengthened her thoughts.

To challenge the princess now would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
