The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"I haven't learned how to prescribe medicine yet, but if you want to relieve your internal heat, you can drink some lotus seed tea, and if you have insomnia, you can eat some jujube seeds."

Zhilan reacted and couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart. It was her fault. The boy was still a child.

"Xiao Qianyi, help me take a look."

Zhilan had already moved forward and stretched out her hand.

Zhilan gave her her seat, went back to stand beside the imperial concubine, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Concubine Ning looked at Qian Yi who was taking her pulse and nodded.

"Auntie, do you get thirsty or have a dry mouth easily?"

"Correct."

"Do you occasionally have migraine symptoms?"

"Yes, I do. Especially after catching a cold, my headache becomes severe."

"Aunt, do you like to wear a headband on weekdays? During rainy and windy seasons, you can always wear a headband to prevent the evil wind from entering your body."

In fact, the best way to treat headaches is acupuncture, and bloodletting is the most effective treatment when an attack occurs.

But Xiao Qianyi hasn’t learned these yet, so I just picked out some things to pay attention to.

"Old Madam, your student is really good. Come to me and let me take a look at him."

Concubine Ning called Qian Yi forward and looked at her carefully.

I gently lifted her hand. Even at such a young age, there was a thin layer of calluses on her hands.

"Why do you want to be a doctor?"

Female doctors are not as respected as medical practitioners and doctors. In their eyes, female doctors are just a substitute for women who are unable to seek medical treatment from men, and they are not worthy of being accepted by the upper class.

There is another reason for this. Throughout the dynasties, there have been countless cases of female doctors murdering concubines in the palace, and therefore female doctors have always had a bad reputation.

The emergence of this scandal has made everyone prejudiced against it.

But looking at history, it is still unknown whether the female doctor took the initiative to murder others for her own reasons or became a victim of palace fighting.

Hearing this, Dai Qianyi thought of his mother.

She married into a medical family, but if she got sick, it was difficult to get medical treatment.

Ridiculous, right?

When this was said, no one believed it.

Especially private diseases, which cannot be disclosed even to the closest people.

"I'd rather die than have this disease seen by a man."

Dai Qianyi didn't understand and didn't comprehend.

Even their family is in such a situation, let alone the women outside?

"I want all women in the world to have access to cures."

She spoke firmly and seriously, with a fiery flame flickering in her eyes.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.

Song Shengfu looked at the little person standing in front of the imperial concubine. The midsummer sun shone through the window behind the imperial concubine, and her hair seemed to glow.

"Good girl."

Concubine Ning touched Qianyi's head.

If we were to ask who most hopes for the appearance of a female doctor, it would only be women.

Men gave it countless bad words and used the power in their hands to suppress the challengers of this authority.

The best gynecologist in the palace is a man, but they don’t understand. He is not a woman, so how can he understand women’s difficulties?

But on second thought, there are some things they will never know.

There is a rule in the palace that imperial physicians are not allowed to enter the palace for concubines below the rank of imperial concubine, and can only prescribe medicine based on symptoms.

Most women in the palace did not live long, and many of them became ill at a young age.

If this is the case for the imperial concubines, the lives of the palace maids below must be even more difficult.

Just look at Zhilan and Zhiyu and you will know.

As the head maidservant beside Concubine Ning, your life must be much better than that of an ordinary palace maid, right?

That's it, everyone has their own flaws.

"Old Madam, I now realize how narrow-minded I was before. Your action is truly righteous. If this path succeeds, all the women in the world will remember you."

"Qian Yi's words are also my original intention."

"However, I have something to ask the old lady."

As Concubine Ning spoke, her eyes were full of gossip.

"Please tell me, Madam."

"Where did the old lady hire the teachers? Are they really willing to teach these children?"

Once this topic came up, the two girls no longer felt like they were suitable to be here.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have a student named Yuan Ying here. Don't look at her young age. I will bring her with me and ask her to prepare two dishes for lunch so that you can taste my student's cooking skills."

Concubine Ning nodded and asked someone to take the two girls away.

"Okay, let me have a good taste of my female student's cooking skills today. Have the Sixth Prince and his men come to the palace for lunch at noon, so that those boys can have a taste of this delicious food too."

"Su Chun, they are both young, so you go and keep an eye on them and don't let them get into trouble."

Song Shengfu sent Suchun to accompany the two little girls, Yuanying went to the small kitchen, and Qianyiwushi followed.

With Suchun by her side, the palace maids below would also treat her with some courtesy.

Sister Wei is still by my side. She knows some things, so it doesn’t hurt to learn more.

"Those teachers are not willing to teach. They care about their reputation. This matter of the teachers has given me a headache for a while."

Concubine Ning leaned forward slightly. "I think these children are learning well. They have changed so much in just one year. When I heard you say it would only take three years, I thought it wouldn't be enough time, but now it seems it's more than enough."

Song Shengfu sighed slightly, looking a little worried.

"Some of the children in this batch are older, learn things quickly, and have some basic skills."

Then he continued, "At first, I offered them great benefits, but none of them wanted to come. Later, I had no choice but to send people to search for them within the Great Chu. If soft tactics didn't work, I would use hard tactics. I bought off those I couldn't invite. With the lives of entire families in my hands, they were naturally more obedient."

She is not a kind person, so it's okay for her to use some means to achieve her goals.

But even so, there are still many people who threaten to commit suicide. In this case, she can only take some extreme measures. She will not be soft-hearted when dealing with such people. After all, she cannot empathize with these people.

Concubine Ning nodded, this method was of course the best.

"Of course, not all people in this world are like this. There are also very open-minded doctors who are willing to teach at the women's school. Not only that, I have also recruited many experienced female doctors who have had a hard time. I bought them back and trained them well. They will become teachers at the women's school in the future."

It sounds like a makeshift team, but there is nothing we can do about it, the conditions are quite "specific".

"It will get better later."

Looking back, the first generation of teachers didn’t have much talent themselves, but they still taught many good students.

"It will get better later."

As Concubine Ning was speaking, she suddenly remembered that the palace was going to release a group of female doctors who had reached the required age.

"Really?"

Song Shengfu was delighted. Even the worst female doctor would have some common sense.

Especially the female doctor in the palace, she knows a lot from what she has seen and heard. If she finds a treasure...

Concubine Ning nodded. The whereabouts of the female doctors who were released from the palace were a problem. Most of them ended up in the inner courtyards of various mansions.

From one cage to another.

The female doctor is not allowed to move around freely in the house, and it is a fantasy for her to leave the house.

Given a choice, few people would live this way.

Of course, there are also those who have other ideas. In addition to being a female doctor, they can also become a concubine in the mansion.

This is also the fate of most female doctors. Although they are not favored, at least they have a status.

If you are lucky enough to have a boy or girl, you won’t have to worry about it later.
