Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

On this day, Xiao Yunyan was strolling in the palace and ran into the former Concubine Li. Concubine Li took the initiative to greet Xiao Yunyan. Xiao Yunyan had nothing to do, so she chatted with her about family matters. Concubine Li mentioned her life in the palace.

"I used to try every possible way to win favor, but now I find those days ridiculous." The concubine sighed, "Now in this palace, I can live a peaceful life."

Xiao Yunyan agreed, "Fighting will only bring fatigue and harm, it is better to let go and enjoy the present."

The concubine smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is still very insightful. However, I still have one thing to ask of you. Although I have no children, I have been in the palace for many years and I know a little bit about medicine. If the Crown Princess doesn't mind, can I go to the city's Chinese medicine clinic and be a female doctor?"

Xiao Yunyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "That's great! The public is in need of skilled female doctors. If you are willing to help, that would be great."

Concubine Li expressed what she was thinking. She was not old, only 38 years old, but she did not want to get married, nor did she want to stay idle in the palace.

Therefore, if she could come out to see patients for the people and do something meaningful, then she would not be wasting her time and life in vain.

Xiao Yunyan thought that her idea was very good.

In Xiao Yunyan's opinion, both men and women should do things within their ability.

The concubines now had nothing to do, and they wandered around the harem chatting and playing cards every day. Life was indeed too boring.

Since Concubine Li wanted to go to the clinic, she fully supported it. However, she was not sure about Concubine Li's medical skills.

So, Xiao Yunyan asked Concubine Li very tactfully: "Do you have any experience in treating patients? If you go to the clinic and face ordinary patients, you need to be able to quickly diagnose and prescribe medicine.

Concubine Li said: "What the Crown Princess is worried about is also what I am worried about. On weekdays, I have only diagnosed the illnesses of the maids and nurses in my palace. I have not diagnosed and treated a large number of other patients.

So, even though I read a lot of medical books and received guidance from imperial physicians, I did not have more practical experience.

I want to find a clinic where I can see patients for free, preferably with guidance from other experienced doctors. I wonder if the Crown Princess can help me arrange it?"

Xiao Yunyan saw the humility of Concubine Li. She no longer called herself "this palace" in front of her, but only "I". This shows that she put herself in a very low position, but not humble.

Since she was willing to provide free medical treatment to the people, Xiao Yunyan was willing to arrange a place for her.

Because the Prince's Mansion has a clinic and a pharmacy. It would be better to let Concubine Li disguise herself as an ordinary female doctor to see the people. There will be an old doctor next to her to help with follow-up consultations.

If Concubine Li is really a talented person, it would be better to let the old doctor in the shop teach her more.

If we could really train a female doctor with excellent medical skills, it would be a great merit for the women in Beijing.

Especially in gynecology, because of the fear of seeing a doctor, many ladies are too embarrassed to go to the clinic for help when they have gynecological diseases, nor are they too embarrassed to invite a male doctor to their home for treatment.

Therefore, they often delay the treatment and end up suffering from illness. Even if they take a lot of Chinese medicine, the root of the disease cannot be cured.

If more female doctors join the medical team, it will be a great thing for the people.

Xiao Yunyan agreed to her and arranged an opportunity for her, and asked Concubine Li to go back and wait for two days.

Xiao Yunyan kept her word and gave Concubine Li a reply two days later.

It just so happened that women from the countryside often went to the city's medical clinics for treatment. There were some diseases that male doctors could not treat personally, so it would be best if she could help.

Concubine Li came to the clinic as an ordinary woman. The name she reported was also the name she used in school before she got married - Liu Wenhui. From then on, the people in the clinic called her Doctor Liu.

Because the clinic under the name of Prince Duanjing's mansion provides a lot of convenient pills, diagnosis is the most important thing. Prescribing medicine is secondary.

Of course, there are some diseases that do not have ready-made pills, and require the help of an experienced doctor to prescribe a prescription. If Dr. Liu has this ability, it would be great.

After Xiao Yunyan arranged this matter, she didn't take it to heart. During her time in the capital, she was begged by the ladies of various families to meet her.

The reason for the visit was not only to pay respects to the Crown Princess, but also because many ladies wanted to talk to Xiao Yunyan about whether they could form an alliance with the Xiao family through marriage.

Xiao Yunyan's prestige in the court is now even higher than that of the prince. The Xiao family is full of high-ranking officials, so she is especially valued.

Therefore, the marriageable men and women of the Xiao family were the targets of marriage proposals from the marriageable men and women of officials' families.

Xiao Yunyan's three brothers have naturally been regarded as the most suitable marriage candidates by all the women in the capital.

Her elder brother Xiao Yunhan and second brother Xiao Yunji have both married their own wives. They live in harmony with each other, which makes other families very envious.

Xiao Yunhan was promoted to the lower rank of the second rank, and Xiao Yunji was promoted to the middle rank of the second rank. The two sons of the Xiao family were only about 30 years old, but they had already become high-ranking officials with real power, and their future prospects were limitless.

Therefore, the concubine's daughter of that official was thinking about whether she could enter the Xiao family and become a concubine of Xiao Yunyan's two brothers?

Xiao Yunyan couldn't make the decision. However, as far as she knew, her two brothers had a very good relationship with their two sisters-in-law, and they had no intention of taking concubines.

However, both sisters-in-law were very virtuous people. They were both ladies from high-ranking officials' families and had no aversion to taking concubines for their husbands.

If their husbands wanted to take a concubine, the two sisters-in-law would probably feel sad in their hearts, but on the surface they would certainly be very virtuous and help their brothers to make arrangements.

However, Xiao Yunyan is from the modern era, and she does not approve of polygamy.

In the process of getting along with Li Mohan, Xiao Yunyan and she are monogamous, so they trust each other and there is no barrier at all.

If there were a few other women among them who also called Li Mohan "husband" and shared a husband with her, she would definitely feel resentment towards Li Mohan.

Xiao Yunyan thought that she could now let Li Mohan enjoy the space without any defense. In addition to some of the industries under her name that were originally registered under her name, Xiao Yunyan did not register the industries that were developed later under her name, but registered them under the name of Prince Duanjing's Mansion.

This was because Li Mohan had made a clear promise that they would be husband and wife for the rest of their lives. No other woman would enter the palace to share her husband's favor or her children's inheritance.

Therefore, all the money will belong to their family in the future and have nothing to do with outsiders. Naturally, there is no need to divide it so clearly.

Although Xiao Yunyan was a very generous woman, if Li Mohan wanted to take a concubine, she would most likely divorce Li Mohan and live alone with the children.

She had money and a career, so there was no need for her to compete with other women for her husband's affection. There was no need for other women to give birth to children and compete with her children for the family property.

Even though her family fortune was so much that she couldn't spend it in dozens of lifetimes, she still didn't want to be coveted by the children born to other concubines.

Because of the competition for property, there is a possibility of mutual harm, and a simple and happy life will become very complicated.

Putting herself in their shoes, she also disapproved of her two brothers taking concubines. But these ladies came to him and wanted her to ask a question.

She is not her brother, and cannot make decisions for them. But she doesn't want to be a messenger either.

Because once this kind of word gets around, regardless of whether her brothers take concubines or not, her sisters-in-law will feel disgusted with her.

Why did they have to let another woman interfere with their originally good life? The brothers originally had no intention of taking a concubine. If they had the idea of ​​taking a concubine because of her inquiry, wouldn't she be the culprit who destroyed the happiness of the brothers?

Therefore, in the face of the requests from these officials' wives, Xiao Yunyan politely declined one by one.

Xiao Yunyan also tactfully told everyone that her two brothers had no intention of taking concubines. If the ladies still did not give up, she would ask the matchmaker to go to the brothers and sisters-in-law to ask them personally. As a sister, she would not interfere in anything in her brothers' family.

The ladies who had run into a wall with Xiao Yunyan were also very helpless, but they did not dare to be disrespectful to Xiao Yunyan.

Although Li Mohan has not yet ascended the throne and Xiao Yunyan is only the Crown Princess, everyone knows that Xiao Yunyan is the most powerful woman in Beichuan. Even the emperor will respect the opinions of this daughter-in-law.

If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Xiao Yunyan will be the Queen of Beichuan. Who among these wives of officials dares to offend her?

Since those officials' concubines could not serve as concubines for the two young high-ranking officials of the Xiao family, and some officials' legitimate daughters were still young, one or two years younger than Xiao Yunyan's brother Xiao Yunqi. She thought that if her legitimate daughter could marry the young master of the Xiao family as his wife, it would be a great blessing. Therefore, she had to act early.

The men in the Xiao family do not take concubines, and they get promoted to higher and higher positions. With Xiao Yunyan as a strong supporter, the Xiao family's career will last for at least three generations. The prince, the emperor's grandson, and the future emperor's grandson, three generations in power, will all attach great importance to the Xiao family.

Therefore, if they could form an alliance with the Xiao family, it would give their family an extra bargaining chip to remain invincible.

As for her brother's marriage, Xiao Yunyan had no objection to being able to help him. But Xiao Yunyan knew that her brother was devoted to studying. Now, Xiao Yunqi, who was 13 years old, was still studying with his teacher in Li Mohan's fiefdom in order to study and learn.

He was determined to win the first prize again in the next year's examination. His ambition had always been to become a great scholar in the future.

So, he said that he was still young and had no intention of getting engaged. He was not considering marriage until he was 20 years old.

However, Xiao Yunyan did not reject the proposal of these ladies for the sake of face. Instead, she learned about the birth dates and specific circumstances of these official women and promised to convey their message to the ladies.

It just so happens that she will go back to the Xiao Mansion to visit her parents and elders tomorrow, so she will mention this matter, but she is not sure what the outcome will be.

These wives of officials certainly knew that there was only one young master Xiao Yunqi, and no one could predict who would be the winner.

But at least there is a chance. They have invited a matchmaker to come, but Old Madam Xiao is very open-minded about the children's marriage and lets them make their own decisions.

Therefore, all the marriage proposals were rejected by the young master of the Xiao family. He said that he would not consider marriage until he was 20 years old.

Now, the Crown Princess is willing to send her daughter's birth date and related information to Madam Xiao.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not for the time being, at least the old lady at the school has made an impression on her daughter.

When Young Master Xiao wants to consider marriage, their daughter still has a chance.

In addition to Xiao Yunyan's three brothers, there were also outstanding children from the Xiao family's side branches. The wives of officials whose daughters were of similar age also considered marrying the legitimate sons from the Xiao family's side branches.

However, it would be impossible to ask Xiao Yunyan to take care of this marriage. Not only did she not have enough time to take care of these things, but she could not even mention a certain girl to her brothers from other families.

Because as long as she proposed a woman, these collateral descendants and their families would think that she was trying to win over a certain family and was acting as a matchmaker. Regardless of whether the brother was willing to accept the marriage or not, he would probably have to accept it reluctantly.

Xiao Yunyan didn't want to interfere in other people's marriage, let alone get involved in this mess.

Therefore, Xiao Yunyan asked them to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the young man of their choice, and she could not help.

The wives of officials came to ask for a meeting one after another, and Xiao Yunyan finally returned to the Xiao family.

When she came back, her grandfather, father and brothers were not back, but her grandmother, mother, sister-in-law and nephews and nieces were all there.

Everyone was very surprised to see Xiao Yunyan. The family already knew that Xiao Yunyan was back, but they also heard that the ladies of various families had been asking to see her.

Today, Xiao Yunyan came back and greeted her grandmother first. The family performed national etiquette first and then family etiquette. After greeting each other, they chatted for a while.

The grandmother kissed Xiao Yunyan for a while like a sweetheart, and Xiao Yunyan presented her with some health-preserving elixirs that she could use, as well as various desserts, fruits and snacks produced in the space.

The old lady was in very good health, and none of her teeth had fallen out. She particularly liked to eat dried fruits, preserved fruits, and meat jerky. Xiao Yunyan would bring her many snacks every time she came back.

Although the palace has a constant supply of snacks on weekdays, Xiao Yunyan sent snacks that are not available in the food store. The elderly and children love to eat them.

Grandma chatted with Xiao Yunyan for a while. Although grandma was reluctant to let her go, she still let her stay alone with her mother.

The old lady knew that her daughter-in-law missed her daughter and often shed tears secretly. Now that the child is back, she let the mother and daughter chat alone for a while. A mother's longing for her child is incomparable to other relatives.

The mother and daughter thanked the ancestor for her grace, said goodbye to the old lady, and returned to their mother's yard together.

After entering the main hall, the mother sent the servants away. She hugged her daughter with tears in her eyes. She scolded Xiao Yunyan for never coming home, and felt sorry for her daughter for being so busy and not having time to rest.

The mother hugged Xiao Yunyan and shed tears. Xiao Yunyan understood why her mother was so sad.

The mother has only one daughter. After she got married, she was busy everywhere and was not seen. The mother missed her daughter but could not see her. She completed tasks everywhere, which was extremely dangerous. The mother was worried, but she could not see her, so she missed her even more.

My younger brother is my mother's youngest child. From the age of ten, in order to avoid marriage proposals from various families in the capital and for the sake of his studies, he went to the border prince's fiefdom. For several years, my younger brother only came home to stay for a month during the Chinese New Year, and never came back on weekdays.

The only ones who stayed with their mother were their eldest son Xiao Yunhan and their concubine's son Xiao Yunji. They were busy with government affairs every day, and when they got home from court, they still had a lot of things to do. Their mother didn't have many opportunities to get close to them.

My mother also had two illegitimate daughters, both of whom were married. They followed their husbands to take up official posts in other places and have not returned for three years.

The mother treated her three illegitimate children equally and the mother-child relationship was very close.

Fortunately, my mother was accompanied by two sisters-in-law and two concubines. These two concubines were very sensible. They were my mother's maids who came with her as a dowry. When my mother gave birth to the three siblings, they took the initiative to open their faces and became my father's concubines. Therefore, they were particularly respectful to my mother and very loyal.

Xiao Yunyan felt somewhat guilty. As her mother's biological daughter, she had not fulfilled her filial duty. She was a time traveler, and her mother was not at all distant from her. She loved her even more.

Xiao Yunyan comforted her mother. Now her brothers and sisters-in-law have given her grandchildren. From now on, she can focus on the children and don't have to worry about her and her brother.

The mother scolded her: "Silly child, you are also a mother. To a mother, a child is her lifeblood. The relationship between generations is not as close as the flesh and blood that fell from her body."

You are too busy on weekdays. Mother misses you, but she is reluctant to disturb you. What you do is important to the people of the world. Compared with that, mother's missing you is not a big deal. "

Xiao Yunyan felt more and more ashamed. She promised to bring her brother back to visit her mother and family every month.

Teleporting is actually very easy to achieve. No matter how busy you are, you still have time. If they don't stay for long, they can go home and visit.

The mother was very happy. But she still told him that if he was really too busy, he didn't have to come back every month. He could come back when he had time. Just seeing them would make her feel relieved.

Xiao Yunyan's eyes were a little wet. Xiao Yunyan thought that she was a person whose emotions were not easily fluctuated. But facing her mother's love and consideration for her children, Xiao Yunyan's soft part was touched. She also hugged her mother and comforted her for a while.

Mrs. Xiao's heart, which had been missing her daughter, was comforted and her mood recovered. She immediately arranged for the servants to prepare dinner, and arranged the dishes that Xiao Yunyan liked.

Xiao Yunyan immediately took out many precious ingredients from the space, some of which were dried mountain delicacies and dried seafood, to be kept for her family to eat later.

There is also venison, lamb, beef, whole chicken and seafood that can be used for tonight's dinner.

The Xiao Mansion didn't have that many ingredients originally prepared. It just so happened that Xiao Yunyan had fresh ingredients in her space, so she didn't have to trouble the servants to go around and buy them.
