The three sisters Li Mingyue mentioned were naturally Wei Caier, Zheng Yourong and Zi Yan.
Although Lu Chen did not make his relationship with the girls clear, the girls knew it among themselves.
Li Mingyue's status as the eldest princess meant that she could not marry into the Lu family, and even if they continued to live together in the future, they would have to live separately.
So she felt that it was appropriate for her to organize a party, and given her status in this place, the girls should give her this face.
Sure enough, the girls came together soon. Looking at the three girls who were dressed up carefully, Li Mingyue couldn't help but sigh that her husband was so lucky.
The first to come over was Wei Cai'er. She was dressed exquisitely today and looked very happy. When she saw Li Mingyue, she immediately stepped forward and bowed gracefully, saying, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Sister, please stand up quickly. We are all sisters. There is no need to act like this. Just treat it as your own family."
"Sis, we take it seriously." Zheng Yourong came up with a smile and handed a gift box to Li Mingyue, saying, "This is the latest hand cream that can be used by pregnant women."
Zheng Yourong had been in the palace before, so she was not nervous when facing Li Mingyue.
But Zi Yan on the side was not in such a good situation. Her previous identity was the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, and she was naturally incompatible with the imperial court.
Although she has now turned from evil to good, who knows what level she holds in the heart of Princess Da Qi.
Just when Zi Yan was a little confused and didn't know how to start, Li Mingyue took the initiative to come forward, took Zi Yan's hands affectionately and said: "Sister Zi Yan, this is your first time here, don't be nervous, we are home."
"I heard that you are currently learning midwifery from the medical officers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. So, I will have to trouble you with your future children."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan hurriedly said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Princess, I have done my best."
"Why do you still call me Princess? Just call me Sister like them."
Wei Cai'er on the side stepped forward with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, from now on, we will have to trouble Sister Zi Yan to take care of our children."
Zheng Yourong also looked curious and asked, "I heard that with the use of new delivery methods and tools, the mortality rate of children and women has dropped significantly?"
When it comes to her current profession, Zi Yan is no longer nervous. She immediately talks about it, "That's true. In fact, there are only a few dangerous points for women giving birth. One is that the fetus is in an abnormal position, so the head can't come out first. The second is that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, which may cause the baby to suffocate. The third is that the baby is too big and cannot be delivered. The fourth is poor hygiene during delivery, which can easily lead to postpartum wind."
"As long as you pay attention to these points, although childbirth is a little painful, there won't be any major risks. My sisters and I have already delivered at least fifty women, and there have been no problems so far."
Hearing this, Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved. My sisters know that I'm old, and this is my first time giving birth. I'm actually quite scared."
"Sister, there's no need to be so. In fact, according to my husband, a woman's twenties are the golden age for childbearing. Giving birth too early is not good for us women. Sister, right now, is exactly the golden age."
After saying that, Zi Yan turned to look at Zheng Yourong and said, "Sister Yourong, you should hurry up too. I've calculated that if you give birth to your first child next year, you can have two or three children without any problem."
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zheng Yourong blushed at that moment, and this scene caused the others to laugh.
After the commotion was over, Li Mingyue asked curiously, "Sister, you've already delivered 50 babies in such a short time? Where do all these pregnant women come from?"
"Sister, you may not know this, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences has already put up a sign a while ago. Anyone willing to come to our Chinese Academy of Sciences to give birth will have all expenses waived. They can even receive an additional subsidy when they are discharged from the hospital."
"In addition, we have also contacted some midwives in the capital, and many of them are now receiving training with us. As long as they recommend a case, they will be paid."
"Anyway, my husband just wants me to master the various procedures as quickly as possible so that I can protect the baby in my sister's belly."
Hearing this, Li Mingyue was moved. She looked towards Bazhou City and said, "I wonder what my husband is doing now?"
…
"I don't know what the Grand Master is doing now?"
When the same question came out of Guo Bei's mouth, it lacked a bit of beauty and had a bit more greasy feeling.
Li Yingxiao was eager to restore the previous trade relationship, so he gladly accepted all the requests made by Da Qi.
Although some conditions seem insulting, if you think about it carefully, apart from the loss of face, they don't seem to have any substantial impact on them.
After discussion among the civil and military officials in the court, the document to re-establish a trade partnership with Da Qi was passed unanimously.
The officials of Western Xia all felt that Da Qi was still the Da Qi they were familiar with, and would rather give them some money than to gain some face.
The officials and rulers of Western Xia were all too familiar with this kind of thing. A little bit of fame could be exchanged for so much money. Was there such a good thing in the world?
After other countries demarcated their concessions, they felt that they had lost their rights and were humiliating their country, and they hoped that the contracting parties would never come here in their lifetime.
But it was different in Western Xia. After doubling the size of the concession, officials from Western Xia kept urging Guo Bei and Fan Zeng to do it.
When are you going to visit the fiefdom?
When will you rebuild the consulate?
Hurry up, Xixia can’t do without you!
If you don't station your troops here for one day, all of us civil and military officials in the court, as well as the king, will not be able to eat or sleep well.
I just want to see the soldiers of Da Qi showing off their might on the land of Xixia, so that the leaders of our Xixia can feel safe!
Guo Bei finally understood what it meant to be unable to refuse such a kind invitation.
He originally wanted to go after the New Year, when the weather was warmer.
After all, it's freezing cold and there's no sign of the consulate yet. Why should I run over there now? Are I asking for trouble?
It feels so good to hide in a house with heating now.
And his reasons were very sufficient. It was you Xixia who drove us out when you took action on your own. It wouldn't be excessive for us to delay a little.
This was Guo Bei's original plan, until the envoy from Western Xia sent him something.
Guo Bei changed his mind. For the harmonious development of economic and trade between the two countries, he decided to carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue and to rebuild the embassy before the Chinese New Year no matter what.
There's nothing I can do. They gave me too much.
…
Woohoo, I know you guys love me, Miuchi~
