After taking her pulse, Li Yunyan said softly to the Crown Princess, "Your Highness is in good health, but you are a little cold. I will prescribe a medicine for you. If you drink it three times and the timing is right, we can expect to hear good news next month!"
Is this really true?
Having offspring has always been a top priority for the royal family. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had been married for more than three years, and after giving birth to their first daughter, there had been no good news, causing her growing anxiety.
I invited Li Yunyan here today simply to follow the Crown Prince's orders, but I never expected such an unexpected surprise.
If she really has good news next month, then she will treat Li Yunyan as an honored guest!
Li Yunyan's expression was calm and confident. "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, can rest assured about the medical skills of the Li family!"
Then everyone remembered that it seemed that Physician Li had previously been in charge of the pregnancy and childbirth matters of the imperial concubines in the palace!
Those who had previously doubted her immediately became convinced of her medical skills.
The atmosphere immediately became even more lively.
The doctor in charge of pregnancy and childbirth is a woman—this is a godsend!
Those who were already married wanted to have more children; and those who were engaged were also eager to hear the secrets behind it.
They all wished Li Yunyan could take their pulse too!
A noblewoman who was on good terms with the Crown Princess was the first to extend her wrist and said to Li Yunyan with a smile, "Miss Li, may I also have my pulse taken?"
Li Yunyan nodded, "Of course!"
After a moment, Li Yunyan withdrew her hand. "This lady injured her body during her miscarriage, which caused blood stasis. Let me give you a few acupuncture treatments. After you go home and take good care of yourself, we should be able to hear good news in two months at the latest."
The noblewoman's face lit up with joy; she hadn't expected Li Yunyan to be able to detect that she had miscarried several years ago! This doctor was definitely skilled!
She said eagerly, "Okay, Dr. Li! Can you give me acupuncture now?"
They even called in a doctor!
Li Yunyan smiled slightly and turned to ask the Crown Princess, "Does Your Highness have any special silver needles here?"
The Crown Princess laughed heartily, "Even if you don't have it, I can have someone find it for you right away!"
She winked at the old woman beside her, and in no time the old woman brought up a set of silver needles that were of excellent workmanship and quality.
"Yunyan, this set is for you!"
Li Yunyan expressed her gratitude, "This humble woman thanks Your Highness the Crown Princess!"
She picked up the silver needles, tested their feel, and said to the noblewoman, "Madam, please lie down on the small couch so that I may administer the acupuncture."
"good."
Li Yunyan's acupuncture technique is swift, precise, and fluid, possessing a unique beauty. Just watching her movements inspires admiration.
......
Over the course of an afternoon, Li Yunyan touched the wrists of almost every woman present.
She performed acupuncture and wrote prescriptions on the spot, demonstrating her medical skills to the fullest.
Everyone started calling her Doctor Li instead of Miss Li or Miss Yunyan.
As dusk fell, the flower-viewing party, which no one paid any attention to, came to an end amidst everyone's reluctance to leave.
Outside the Crown Prince's residence, several noblewomen held onto Li Yunyan tightly, saying that they had daughters or other female relatives at home and hoped that Li Yunyan would take a look at them next time!
Li Yunyan handled the situation calmly and composedly.
Just then, a carriage arrived and stopped in front of Li Yunyan.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a tall, upright man jumped down from it.
The man had long, clear eyebrows and eyes, was tall and handsome, had a calm expression and a composed demeanor, and exuded the air of a great general.
"Yanyan, I've come to pick you up!"
Many noblewomen recognized him and asked in surprise, "Is that the Commander of the Nine Gates?"
Xia Xiunian nodded politely to them and naturally stood next to Li Yunyan, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Then everyone remembered that the Admiral and the Li family had a marriage agreement before.
However, I heard that the two families have already broken off the engagement?
Could it be that I remembered it wrong?
Li Yunyan smiled gently at Xia Xiunian, knowing he had come to support her! She bid farewell to everyone politely and, with his help, boarded the carriage.
In the days that followed, Li Yunyan received invitations from various ladies from time to time, and through her own efforts, she became active again in the upper-class circles.
It was under these circumstances that Xia Xiunian's mother, Fang, heard the name Li Yunyan again.
She took Fang Zhiyue to a banquet hosted by a lady.
In places with many women, the topics of conversation are nothing more than the same few things: jewelry, clothes, men, and children.
I was caught off guard when I heard Li Yunyan's name.
"It's a pity we couldn't invite Doctor Li over today! Otherwise, we could have asked her to take our pulses!"
Are you referring to the daughter of Physician Li?
"It's her! I've heard her medical skills are excellent, and being a woman herself, she can see things that are inconvenient to say to a doctor!"
"I've heard that Physician Li's ancestors were experts in gynecology. If we could learn even a fraction of their skills, that would be incredible!"
"That's right! I heard she guaranteed that the Crown Princess will definitely have good news next month!"
Is it really that amazing?
Everyone was having a lively discussion, which left Xia's mother stunned. Fang Zhiyue gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and gritted her teeth to endure it.
Why is Li Yunyan still haunting us?
She's everywhere!
She was cursing in her heart when, unexpectedly, something even more persistent appeared.
A woman who was quite familiar with Xia's mother sat down and asked in a low voice, "Sister Fang, I heard that this Dr. Li Yunyan is your future daughter-in-law? You are so lucky! Let me tell you in advance, you must ask her to take the pulse of my two daughters-in-law and prescribe some medicine so that they can give my family a few more grandsons!"
"this......"
Xia's mother glanced awkwardly at Fang Zhiyue, then at Madam Yang, and said carefully, "Young lady Yang, it seems that our Xiu Nian and the Li family's daughter are destined to be apart."
"Tsk! You're still pretending with me!"
Madam Yang chuckled softly, covering her face with her handkerchief, then said mysteriously, "Many of us have seen it. Your Xiu Nian often goes to pick up Doctor Li to go home! The two of them have a very good relationship!"
"What?!"
Fang Zhiyue's sudden voice drew everyone's attention.
Madam Yang frowned slightly. This young lady was far too impolite.
"Who is this...?"
Xia's mother was even more embarrassed. Holding Fang Zhiyue's hand, she said with a forced smile, "This is my daughter from my maternal family, Fang Zhiyue. She is still young and was emotional just now. Please don't take offense!"
"So she's the Fang family's daughter!"
"She does look somewhat similar to Sister Fang!"
Because of the Xia family's influence, no one criticized Fang Zhiyue too much; they just thought in their hearts that the Fang family's daughter was not very polite.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Zhiyue persisted, staring intently at Yang and asking, "What did you just say about my cousin and Li Yunyan?"
