Chapter 122 Recovery



Sun Zhiding “嗻”.

Kangxi sat back a little further.

Sun Zhiding stepped forward, and Wanwan cooperated by extending her hand.

Wanwan said, "Imperial Physician Sun, please take a look at my health and see how well I am recovering."

Sun Zhiding “嗻”.

Sun Zhiding placed the handkerchief on Wanwan's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Huh? How could this be?

Her body doesn't look like it's only been two weeks since she gave birth; it looks like it's been two or three months since she gave birth, completely recovered.

Physician Sun couldn't understand why. Could it be that the Wanyan family had some secret medicine?

It was truly unbelievable. In all his years as a royal physician, he had never seen a concubine recover like this in just half a month after giving birth.

However, just in case, he held it for a little longer.

Sun Zhiding replied, "Your Majesty, your health is recovering very well, but it is best to avoid the wind and eat a light diet."

As an imperial physician, I couldn't be too definitive, so I let Wanwan continue her postpartum confinement, only that her body was recovering well.

Wanwan: "Yes, I also think I've recovered very well."

Emperor Kangxi asked, "The Imperial Noble Consort washed herself and even washed her hair today. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Sun Zhiding replied, “Your Majesty, judging from her pulse, the Imperial Noble Consort is recovering very well. It’s alright if she washes her hair; just dry it promptly and avoid exposure to wind.”

Kangxi said, "Hmm, alright, I understand. You may go back now."

Sun Zhiding “嗻”.

After Sun Zhiding left, Tingyu saw him off at the door and gave him a purse along the way.

Sun Zhiding touched it and knew instantly that it contained silver notes. As expected of Jingren Palace, they were very generous.

Sun Zhiding said, "Thank you very much, Miss Tingyu. No need to see me off. Go back now."

"In that case, we'll have to trouble Physician Sun," said Tingyu.

……………

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? The imperial physicians all said my recovery is going very well." Wanwan had a smug look on her face.

Kangxi said with some helplessness, "I heard that, but Physician Sun said that you should avoid exposure to the wind and eat a light diet. Just listen to the physician's advice."

Wanwan: "Tch, you know what kind of people the imperial physicians in the palace are. They'll call a minor illness a serious one, and a serious one an extremely serious one."

Wanwan said, "In the end, it's all because I'm afraid of taking responsibility."

Wanwan said, "Besides, since Physician Sun said that I have recovered very well, then I have actually fully recovered. He told me to avoid the wind and eat a light diet just to avoid any problems in the future, so that he would be afraid of taking responsibility."

Emperor Kangxi was well aware of the character of the imperial physicians in the palace. Because he was afraid of taking responsibility, he would usually exaggerate the severity of minor ailments.

Moreover, the medication used was not too strong; it was only gentle conditioning. Therefore, the concubines in the palace generally recovered relatively slowly from colds or flu.

Kangxi said, "Alright, I understand. You've recovered very well. You can do whatever you want from now on. But I advise you not to go outside for the remaining two weeks. Stay in your room. If you want to wash your hair or take a bath, keep the windows and doors sealed so that no wind gets in."

Kangxi: "And..."

Wanwan heard Kangxi chanting like a spell, so she quickly interrupted him, "Alright, alright, I know, I know, stop talking. If you keep talking, it'll be like Sun Tang Sanzang chanting the Tightening-Headband Mantra."

After hearing Wanwan's words, Kangxi said, "I am not Tang Sanzang. After all, Tang Sanzang was a Buddhist monk who was pure of heart. I am a mortal, impure of heart, and I also eat meat."

Indeed, in Wanwan's Fengming Tower, the Four Great Classical Novels and some particularly famous dramas are performed in turn, which brings great profits to Fengming Tower.

Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Wanwan understood the implied meaning behind them.

But so what? In name, she was still in confinement after childbirth, and there was nothing Kangxi could do about it.

Besides, even if she recovered, it's impossible for Emperor Kangxi to be so heartless as to make her serve him in bed while she was still in confinement.

Wanwan and Kangxi continued to "play" with Yinyu.

Emperor Kangxi spent the entire afternoon with Wanwan.

However, in the afternoon, Kangxi witnessed how Wanwan "took an inch and wanted a mile".

Wanwan said, "Tingfeng, tell the kitchen to make more food. Make sure to make the roast duck that I used to love, and also make more spicy dishes. My mouth has been so bland for the past two weeks."

Although Wanwan's postpartum meals were very rich, as an Imperial Noble Consort, her postpartum meals were naturally very nourishing.

However, during those ten-plus years in the Qing Dynasty, she ate almost all kinds of delicacies every day, which made her taste very discerning.

After eating bland, watery food for half a month, now that things can change, I naturally want to order a big meal and have a proper feast.

Emperor Kangxi did not refute this. He knew from the imperial physician that Wanwan's health had recovered very well, and he already knew that there was nothing wrong with Wanwan's health.

When it was time for dinner, Wanwan looked at the delicious food on the table and unconsciously swallowed. After half a month, she was finally able to eat what she wanted.

Wanwan: "Xuan Ye, would you like to have some too?"

Emperor Kangxi said, "I have already had lunch."

Wanwan: "Alright, then I won't be polite."

Knowing that Emperor Kangxi usually wouldn't eat anything after lunch, he never expected to be attacked by her delicious food.

Although Emperor Kangxi usually ate his breakfast and lunch in Jingren Palace, he truly did not eat dinner almost every time.

It has to be said that being an emperor requires self-discipline. If it were her, she definitely couldn't do it, and sometimes she even has to eat a late-night snack.

Especially when Kangxi stayed overnight, after the two had "exercise" together, it wouldn't be too early, and she would usually be hungry, so she would eat something at that time.

Just as Wanwan was about to indulge in her meal, the Crown Prince arrived with Yinzhen. At that moment, Wanwan knew that the Crown Prince had come to freeload again.

There was no way around it; the Crown Prince's lifestyle was a one-to-one replica of Emperor Kangxi's, and a child simply couldn't withstand hunger.

Every time he came to Jingren Palace, he could fill his stomach, and he always had a ready-made reason: he was bringing his younger brother to eat, not that he wanted to eat.

Wanwan: "Yinreng is here! Come and sit down. Listen to the rain, and bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

Listening to the rain is "yes".

Yinreng said, "Your subject greets Father Emperor, may Father Emperor be blessed; greets Mother Emperor, may Mother Emperor be blessed."

Yinzhen said, "Your subject greets Father Emperor, may Father Emperor be blessed; Your subject greets Mother Emperor, may Mother Emperor be blessed."
