Of course, their main role is to lecture the Crown Prince, sitting with him in class each ti they co to teach, and yet, even so, they benefit greatly.
Needless to say about Manbao, who had previously discussed dical techniques with Director Xiao and others, though mostly concerning the Empress’s illness, with little ntion of other ailnts.
However, upon entering the Chongwen Pavilion, they discovered many dical classics they had only heard about, even uncovering several they hadn’t heard of.
They were like mice that found rice, learning and discussing eagerly. How much they learned is unknown, but Manbao learned new things daily.
She morized and transcribed these dical texts, also taking them into the system to discuss with Teacher Mo.
Behind Teacher Mo was a whole school of teachers and students, plus a research lab.
Perhaps due to the toxic stone, Teacher Mo had hinted that he was now in a higher-level laboratory, with professors who were all dical luminaries. While he was the main creator in his own lab before, now he could only assist.
But he was enjoying it imnsely; those dical luminaries were also very interested in the treatnt thods of ancient Chinese dicine. Therefore, he shared the ailnts Manbao provided, and recently they gained a lot of insights.
Through mutual communication, Manbao progressed rapidly.
Every day, Director Xiao felt that while discussing newly uncovered dical books with Manbao, today’s Manbao was not the sa as yesterday’s Manbao.
Not to ntion Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zheng. Imperial Doctor Zheng, still young, could not keep pace with Manbao and Director Xiao.
Facing Manbao, who was even younger than him, Imperial Doctor Zheng couldn’t muster any jealousy.
If she surpassed him just a little, at a reachable distance, he might perhaps feel jealous. But now, looking up, he couldn’t even tell where she had gone.
She was advancing so much every day that Imperial Doctor Zheng felt it wasn’t about diligence but rather that people are inherently different, with innate talents.
Director Xiao thought the sa, feeling both fortunate and a bit regretful.
Fortunate that Zhou Man is a woman, even though she could now hold an official position, she is still a woman; otherwise, she alone could crush these dicinal clans like the Zhou Family with her weight. Regretful that she is a woman, or else her future achievents in dicine might rival those of divine physicians like Bian Que and Hua Tuo.
But today, Manbao was not in the mood to discuss dicine with Director Xiao and the others. As soon as Bai Shan and the others arrived, she eagerly headed to the dining hall with them.
Walking halfway, after confirming the people ahead and behind were quite distant, she lowered her voice excitedly and said, "I engaged in palace intrigue today."
Yin Huo and Liu Huan were puzzled, asking, "What palace intrigue?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang perked up, asking in unison, "Did you win or lose?"
Manbao proudly said, "Of course I won, see my golden hairpin? The Crown Princess gave it to and even personally put it in my hair."
Bai Shan eagerly asked, "Who did you intrigue with? Was it like in the books, where they subtly slandered you? How could it be the Crown Princess, not the Crown Prince?"
Bai Erlang also felt a bit regretful, "Exactly, I wanted to see if it were the Crown Prince, would the opponent shed tears as beautifully as described in books, like raindrops on pear blossoms."
Manbao said, "If anyone sees it, it would be , not you."
Yin Huo and Liu Huan, completely unaware of what they were talking about, silently watched the three of them.
Seeing them all stare at the golden hairpin, Manbao reached out to touch it, proudly raising her chin. Yin Huo glanced at the golden hairpin in her hair, sowhat confused: "I rember you also bragged about the gemstone jewelry the Crown Princess sent you. Wasn’t it hand-delivered after the Crown Princess’s diagnosis?"
"That’s different, this was personally worn by the Crown Princess after having a dispute with soone; previously, they were gifts after accomplishing feats, the significance is completely different."
Yin Huo and Liu Huan: ... Why is it different?
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang understood her feelings and said, "This is the first ti, keep it for a nto later."
Manbao thought the sa and turned to Bai Erlang saying, "Isn’t Xiang Ming’s biography about to be finished? Why don’t you consider writing a book about won’s extraordinary acts? I can provide you with material."
Unable to hold back, she blurted everything out, explaining today’s happenings in detail and said, "Hmph, trying to sow discord. My relationship with the Crown Princess is excellent, there’s no way they can easily disrupt it."
Bai Shan furrowed his brow, asking, "Was there sothing wrong with the soup?"
"No," Manbao shook her head, "But the Crown Princess drank too much of it, the baby indeed grew larger; currently, her pulse is strong, the baby is growing well, she should just consu so at porridge and fruits, in my opinion, there’s no need even for snacks."
Bai Shan then remarked, "But after drinking that soup for over ten days, there’s no abnormality at all."
Manbao smiled and said, "Yes, because the child is still forming, eating more during this ti isn’t very critical, but over four months, the child starts moving organ-wise, then it’s ti for bodily growth. Drinking more of the tonic, the belly would expand rapidly like blowing bubbles with spit."
She said, "The child is different from an ailnt, while over-supplent can be countered with suitable dications; over-supplenting the child ans not only can’t you reduce his already enlarged form but also must maintain his daily nutritional needs, otherwise, subsequent growth could be stunted, even resulting in silliness from hunger."
Manbao recently found a case on such dical explanation in the Chongwen Pavilion: "An ancestor said that poor families have more sickly children, wealthy families have more clever ones because poor families can’t guarantee nourishnt for pregnant won, leading to poor developnt."
Teacher Mo also agreed with this view, although this wouldn’t occur in the future world, the conclusion has been verified in ancient tis.
Manbao said, "I just don’t know if this Nanny Su feels I’m overly favored, intentionally sparring with , or if she’s really under soone’s orders."
Liu Huan asked, "Could it simply be an accident? She ntioned the Su Family had her conditioning two generations of wives, without any issues, right?"
Manbao shook her head and smiled, "Who said they had no issues?"
She said, "Although they delivered smoothly back then, it doesn’t an there were no problems."
Manbao wanted to elaborate on the differences in childbirth canal damage but seeing all four were n, none studying dicine, she wondered why she should talk about this with them.
So she said, "Never mind, anyway, she served so many wives during childbirth, similarly, she must know if the Crown Princess continues to eat, the belly would certainly enlarge, so she could definitely bear a chubby son or daughter."
