Xie Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the churning in his stomach.
Having lived two lives, this was Xie Yuan's first marriage.
She has never been pregnant.
But, information technology has become much more advanced in later generations.
Whether in novels or TV dramas, if a married woman feels nauseous and wants to vomit, she is almost certainly pregnant.
Xie Yuan started counting on his fingers, carefully recalling his menstrual cycle.
Wait, I didn't realize until I did the math that my period was already half a month late.
So, is it really possible that she's pregnant?
Xie Yuan reached out and gently stroked his flat stomach.
Is a little life already growing here?
Xie Yuan found it unbelievable, and even felt a sense of unreality.
She was somewhat flustered.
Although she lived two lifetimes, the combined age of her two lifetimes was no more than fifty.
Especially in this life, this body is only eighteen years old.
In modern times, he would barely be considered an adult, having just graduated from high school.
You can call yourself "baby" without being laughed at.
But here, she is already married and has children.
"Am I...can I be a good mother?"
"Can I give birth to a healthy baby?"
"I, I—"
Many ideas popped into Xie Yuan's mind.
Anxiety, surprise, and other emotions were intertwined.
Gradually, Xie Yuan finally settled down.
The baby is here, so let's give birth to him properly.
Moreover, to be selfish, with this child, Xie Yuancai finally has a true blood relative.
Connected to her by blood, separated from her body, she finally had a real connection with this time and space.
She is no longer a wandering soul, nor is she a lonely person.
"Baby! Mommy is so happy and grateful to have you here!"
She will work hard to take care of her health and exercise, so that she can give birth to her child safely and smoothly in this era of scarce medical resources.
And give your child a healthy body, a good living environment, and—
Looking towards the capital, Xie Yuan suddenly realized that although Lingnan was nice, it was not suitable for children.
Perhaps she should speed things up.
To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, Xie Yuan hadn't even had a child yet, but he already felt the same way that parents in later generations would do everything they could to buy a house in a good school district for their child.
As parents, we should provide the best life for our children within our means!
It's not just about school district housing in later generations; even in ancient times, there was the story of Mencius' mother moving three times to find the right environment for her son.
Xie Yuan's thoughts kept wandering, his head filled with all sorts of random ideas.
However, the most important thing is to have a doctor examine your pulse.
Thinking of the doctor, Xie Yuan felt extremely fortunate that he had prepared so many medical talents in advance.
The exiled imperial physician, and his descendants.
Some are skilled in pulse diagnosis, some in orthopedics, and some specialize in gynecology and pediatrics.
Although her royal hospital could not compare to the Imperial Medical Academy in terms of level and scale, it was no less capable in terms of overall strength.
"Ruyi, invite Physician Lin here!"
Xie Yuan thought to himself, and began to give instructions aloud.
"yes!"
The maid Ruyi is no longer the little maid who only knew how to be afraid and cry when facing Xie Rou.
She participated in several training sessions for female soldiers and has now been promoted to instructor, responsible for training new female soldiers as well as maids and servants in the Prince's mansion.
Although she had been promoted, Ruyi still longed to serve Xie Yuan.
Beyond the bond they formed during their time together in the Xie family, Ruyi also saw hope in Xie Yuan—
Women don't necessarily have to be confined to the inner courtyard; they can do many things!
Ruyi came from a humble background, but she also had dreams.
She wanted to follow the princess and see for herself what heights a woman could reach and what scenery she could see!
Ruyi's feelings for Xie Yuan went beyond loyalty; she also held him in high esteem and obeyed his every word.
Before long, Ruyi led in an elderly doctor who was over sixty years old.
This is Physician Lin, who was once the most famous gynecologist in the Imperial Medical Academy of the Southern Dynasty.
However, he was inadvertently drawn into the power struggles within the imperial harem and became a casualty, a sacrifice.
His entire family was exiled to Lingnan.
In other words, Physician Lin was not only skilled in medicine, but also understood the principle of being flexible and adaptable.
On the way to exile, he used his medical skills to treat the sick officials who were escorting him, and he could even earn money by treating patients.
Only then were the whole family spared from mistreatment.
Not only were they able to eat their fill, but they could also occasionally ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and they did not die on the road due to hunger or exhaustion.
Instead, the whole family arrived safely and smoothly at their place of exile, Huangzhou.
After Helian Jue conquered Huangzhou, he governed it using the same methods he had used to govern Yuezhou.
All sorts of talented people in Huangzhou, including reclusive scholars and sages, were recruited by Helian Jue either with high salaries or by personal invitation, and were all gathered in the Yue King's Mansion.
Physician Lin was one of them.
However, since there were no pregnant women in the Yue Prince's mansion at the moment, Physician Lin felt somewhat lonely, as if he had "no place to use his talents."
Fortunately, the Prince's Medical Center also has an academy. Although Physician Lin cannot practice treating patients, he can teach students.
Apart from some ancestral secret recipes and methods that Physician Lin did not pass on in accordance with ancestral teachings, he taught other medical principles and real cases of his medical practice to the students of the Prince's Medical Academy.
These students included servants from the royal palace, orphans from the Xie family manor, and children from impoverished families in the surrounding area.
Xie Yuan's idea was simple: she wanted to cultivate a large number of technical talents by referring to the model of technical colleges in later generations.
Not only in medicine, but also in carpentry, blacksmithing, bricklaying and other crafts, the best skills were selected and special courses were offered.
Even when it comes to farming, Xie Yuan has a dedicated agricultural college.
Champa rice has undergone several rounds of domestication and breeding.
Xie Yuan attempted to propose the concept of hybridization, and the old farmers in the village, as well as students interested in farming, were all studying it seriously.
Xie Yuan had unwavering faith in the wisdom of the ancients.
She believes that as long as they are given opportunities, enough space and support, they will surely create miracles.
Unbeknownst to Xie Yuan, he had already established many technical colleges.
Of course, medical schools have always held an important position.
As a leading gynecologist and professor at the medical school, Dr. Lin also found a stage to showcase his talents.
He received a level of respect and affection he could never have imagined.
The medical school also held a free clinic, and Dr. Lin finally had "patients".
They examine pregnant women, take the pulse of infants, and instruct midwives on how to deliver babies, among other things.
Physician Lin was extremely busy.
When Ruyi went to invite him, he was still giving free medical consultations and teaching students.
Upon hearing that the princess had summoned him, Physician Lin dared not delay. After writing a prescription for the patient and giving instructions, he hurriedly rushed to the princess's residence.
"..."
Physician Lin held his breath and focused intently on taking the pulse.
After a moment, he smiled, stood up, clasped his hands in congratulations, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you are one and a half months pregnant!"
Xie Yuan: ...She really is pregnant, a month and a half!
