Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The official family is happy to have a dragon son!"

"The official family has a heir."

The news spread throughout the court in the shortest possible time, and the government and the public were celebrating for a while.

All the officials immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The birth of a prince in the harem was a huge event for the royal family and the court.

"Congratulations to the official family!"

All of a sudden, all the officials came up to congratulate him.

"Pass the decree! Promote Liu Jieyu to the title of virtuous concubine, name my eldest son Zhao Mao, and grant him the title of King of Yue!" Zhao Xu said overjoyed.

"Zhao Mao!"

All the officials couldn't help but pause, Mao: The original meaning is lush vegetation!

For several generations in the Song Dynasty, the royal family had not had many heirs. Zhao Xu named his eldest son Zhao Mao in the hope that Zhao Mao would grow up healthily. It can be said that he had good intentions.

"The official sage!"

All the officials praised him one after another.

As courtiers, they don't want the throne to be passed down in an orderly manner. If Zhao Mao can grow up healthily, although he is not the eldest son, he will ensure the smooth succession of the throne and avoid many troubles.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. History always has amazing inertia. He originally thought that he took the initiative to detect the poison of cotton oil, which was enough to change Zhao Xu's crisis, but he did not expect that Zhao Xu's descendants would be the same as future generations.

In Longyou Palace,

Queen Meng looked at the delicate daughter beside her and couldn't help but show a hint of motherly love.

"Fuqing!"

Queen Meng called her daughter's name with both love and regret.

It's a pity that Fuqing is a princess. If it is a son, he will be the eldest son of the Song Dynasty and the well-deserved heir of the Song Dynasty.

This is not because Queen Meng favors sons over daughters, but the cruelest truth about the harem - mother is more valuable than son.

Concubine Liu Xian had just given birth to the prince Zhao Mao, and she was named Concubine Xian by Zhao Xu. If there was only one prince in the harem, Zhao Mao, then Zhao Mao would be the worthy heir to the throne. If Fu Qing was a man, he would be the eldest son, and the throne would not be in any way Not to Zhao Mao.

"The officials are still in the Concubine Xian's palace?" Queen Meng, who was in confinement, raised her weak body and asked.

After she gave birth to Princess Fuqing, Zhao Xu only came to take a look and stayed in Concubine Xian's palace.

"Yes! Queen!" The maids on the side quickly stepped forward to help her and said sadly for Queen Meng.

Queen Meng's heart was full of emotions. When she accepted Fan Zheng's evil pig breeding plan, she was already mentally prepared for other concubines to give birth to princes. However, she agreed to the matter without hesitation. After all, the official family was rich in cotton oil. It is her duty as a queen to let the official family have a heir as soon as possible.

However, when it really happened, she found that she was not as relieved as she had imagined.

"To inform the queen, Dr. Zhang has passed down a medical prescription for child care. In view of the lack of offspring in the royal family, it is recommended that all children in the harem be breastfed so that the babies can grow up healthily."

"Breastfeeding?"

Empress Meng couldn't help but be stunned. Not to mention the concubines in the harem, ordinary wealthy families would hire wet nurses to be responsible for feeding babies. Firstly, it can keep the women in shape. Secondly, without the fetters of children, the children in the harem can continue to compete for favor. After all, In the harem, competition for favor always comes first.

But now doctors actually advocate breastfeeding, which makes her feel a little embarrassed.

However, when Queen Meng saw the pink Princess Fuqing beside her, the doubt in her heart had long since disappeared.

"Okay, I will feed Fu Qing myself!" Queen Meng immediately made up her mind.

As a queen, she had a transcendent status. In addition, she was not favored by Zhao Xu and lost her desire to compete for favor. Coupled with her motherly love for Princess Fuqing, she finally decided to breastfeed her daughter. As long as her daughter could grow up healthily, It's all worth it.

In the palace of the Concubine Xian!

"What, Dr. Zhang suggested breastfeeding?" Concubine Liu Xian said reluctantly.

Concubine Liu Xian was already extremely willful, and because she gave birth to a prince, naturally the mother was more valuable because of her son, so her character became even more arrogant.

Although her future status will come from her son Zhao Mao, she is not willing to lose her capital to fight for favor for Zhao Mao. Giving birth to a prince is only the first step. Ascending to the position of queen is her real goal, and fighting for favor is It's her only resort.

Eunuch Hao Sui saw this and said quickly: "Queen, don't worry, the doctors are just suggesting it, not forcing it. Besides, there are many people who ask for wet nurses, and they don't all grow up healthily."

Concubine Liu Xian nodded with satisfaction. However, she knew that Zhao Maonai was the only son of the official family and was extremely important to him. Naturally, she could not openly say that she was unwilling to breastfeed.

He then raised his forehead and said, "Just say that after I gave birth to Mao'er, my body was weak and I really couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of feeding Mao'er."

Under Concubine Liu Xian's pretentiousness, Prince Zhao Mao was finally handed over to the palace nurse for feeding.

After Fan Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. The royal family has always had few heirs, and in later generations, none of Zhao Xu's children survived. He asked the doctor to take the initiative to recommend breastfeeding, which can be said to be a good intention.

In particular, the prince Zhao Mao was the top priority, but it was a pity that he was ruined by the arrogant Concubine Liu Xian.

Zhao Xu smiled awkwardly and said: "Fan Aiqing, don't worry, the nanny's feeding is not bad. I grew up with the nanny's feeding, and I'm not growing up healthily now!"

He loved Concubine Liu Xian very much and couldn't bear Concubine Liu's pleading, so he had no choice but to agree to hand over the prince Zhao Mao to his wet nurse to raise him.

Fan Zheng sighed: "Breastfeeding is more conducive to the development and growth of babies. Doctors only advocate it and do not insist on it. However, there are some taboos about raising babies, and officials need to pay more attention."

"Fan Aiqing, please tell me, I will definitely do it this time." Zhao Xu promised, patting his chest.

Fan Zheng took a deep breath and said, "What the officials don't know is that according to doctors' theory that the causes of diseases are alive, everyone is the host of various causes of diseases, and babies are weak when they are born and it is extremely difficult to take medicine. Once they are infected by the causes of diseases, they will Extremely troublesome.”

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I know that I will strictly order the maids responsible for raising the prince and princess to check their bodies regularly and wear masks to prevent the prince and princess from getting sick."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "More than that, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs, we also need to prevent our close relatives from being infected by various sources of disease."

"A close relative?"

Zhao Xu's expression changed involuntarily, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Some close relatives often kiss the baby's face. This seems to be an act of love, but in fact it carries the risk of contracting the disease. Even parents should try to reduce this behavior."

"Will kissing a baby make you sick?"

Zhao Xu was in disbelief. This was simply unheard of for him.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Besides that, blowing the food to cool the baby, sharing a dinner plate, even chewing for the baby, and mouth-to-mouth feeding are all taboos in raising babies. Doctors have received many reports about this. In this case, once you get sick, you will regret it.”

Zhao Xu was suddenly shocked. He had just become a father, and he did not expect that there were so many taboos about raising a baby.

"Come here! Spread Fan Aiqing's recipe throughout the harem, and you are not allowed to kiss the baby!" Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Although he had never heard of Fan Zheng's evil methods, Fan Zheng's evil methods had never failed. In addition, he had been poisoned by cotton oil, which made it difficult for his children to have children, and he must not allow any mistakes.
