Sitting on the edge of the bed, even this ordinary action made her feel physically and mentally exhausted. So Qingyin decided to lean against the bed and rest quietly for a while before calling the little maid.
Unexpectedly, the little maid leaning against the bed seemed to notice her movement. She groggily raised her head and opened her eyes, seeing the Fujin (princess) with her eyes open, her face calm and free of sorrow. She opened her eyes in surprise, fully awake, and a look of joy appeared in her clear eyes. "Fujin (princess), you're awake!"
Recalling the past few days, during which the maid named Maya had served her so dutifully, Qingyin gave a gentle smile and said, "Yes, I'm hungry."
Maya nodded happily and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Madam, I will go and get some food right away."
The young maid woke up in a hurry and ran out again, clearly a very impulsive and quick-tempered person.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a cute little maid, and Qingyin's eyes lit up with a smile as she thought of Qinghe from her previous life.
Maya rushed back and brought back not only a bowl of warm rice porridge, but also a royal physician.
The man was none other than the unlucky Physician Hu, who was strolling around the courtyard eating. The short Physician Hu was being carried around by the tall and strong Maya, looking like an old tortoise forced to move.
At first, Physician Hu tried to struggle and run away, but after a few breaths of cold wind and trying to explain to the tall girl in broken Manchu that he could run, which the Manchu girl didn't understand at all, Physician Hu gave up.
Forget it, I won't run anymore. Anyway, having someone lead the way will save me some energy.
Dr. Hu was being carried by Maya with one hand, and he even had the leisure to internally comment on the Manchu girl, saying that she was just so physically strong and tall, even though she was a little girl.
(The Yehe tribe belonged to the Jurchen people. In 1635, Huang Taiji changed the name of the Jurchen people to the Manchu people, which is the Manchu ethnic group.)
After thinking it over, Physician Hu secretly compared the two men's heights and felt a pang of envy.
Suddenly I think it wouldn't be bad if his grandson married a Manchu girl; maybe that would improve the height of his offspring.
Although Physician Hu outwardly submitted to the Later Jin, he actually looked down on the Manchus deep down as a Han Chinese.
This can be seen from the fact that all his descendants married Han women.
At that moment, the unexpected thought that Doctor Hu, who was being carried, had unknowingly changed his own descendants, thus causing a huge change in his family.
When he later discovered this change, he couldn't help but thank his wife, Lady Borjigit, who had treated him that day.
—
Qingyin stared blankly at the bowl of bland rice porridge in front of her. Her health-boosting pills and beauty pills would probably be clearly visible in the obviously white broth if she put them in.
Maya mistakenly thought that the princess's stunned expression was because she disliked the lack of meat in the porridge. She frowned and told Qingyin, "The princess is upset that there is no meat in this porridge, isn't she? I said that this porridge is too bland, and there isn't even any meat in it. How can it be nourishing? But this Physician Hu said that the princess's body is temporarily weak and can only drink this bland porridge. Our shaman has never said anything like that. If the princess doesn't like it, I will go and have someone bring some more meat."
After Maya finished speaking in a string of words, she stared at Qingyin with her bright eyes.
Qingyin looked at Physician Hu, who seemed a little confused after hearing a bunch of Manchu words, and smiled slightly. She slowly said, "Physician Hu is right. Maya, don't talk nonsense. Physician Hu used to treat my body often. He has superb medical skills and noble character. Maya should respect Physician Hu."
Qingyin spoke slowly in Manchu, which Physician Hu understood. The displeasure that Maya's unfriendly tone had stirred in his heart vanished completely under Qingyin's sincere praise.
Physician Hu stroked his beard and thanked Qingyin with some honor, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. My medical skills are actually only average."
"If even Physician Hu, who can become a royal physician in the palace, is only average, then there is no doctor in the world who can be considered outstanding."
Qingyin praised him sincerely.
Physician Hu remained expressionless, but he couldn't help but straighten his chest.
Yes, he is just that outstanding.
However, the thought of how Borjigit's wife had become so good at praising people flashed through Qingyin's mind as she looked at her familiar face.
It must have been his superb medical skills that genuinely moved this former imperial concubine and now Borjigit Fujin.
Physician Hu straightened his back even more.
He waited until Qingyin finished eating the porridge before taking her pulse. After thinking for a while, he said, "The princess's condition is not too serious now, but if it continues like this in a few days, her health will really be ruined."
Qingyin nodded obediently, leaning against the bed as if she had already woken up from the pain. When Doctor Hu saw Qingyin like this, and recalled the few words of sincere praise she had just given him, he couldn't help but say a few words from the heart.
"Since the Princess Consort is already in this situation, she should look forward to the future."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Physician Hu regretted them.
He was originally a Han Chinese imperial physician. What if this princess gets angry when she recalls that she became the wife of a minister?
Qingyin was taken aback, never expecting that the usually cautious Physician Hu, who had taken her pulse, would offer her such heartfelt advice.
Amidst Physician Hu's tense expression, Qingyin smiled slightly. Her smile, a rare departure from her pale and swollen face after childbirth, revealed a striking beauty.
"I know, thank you, Physician Hu."
True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin.
Even in this ordinary-looking body, Qingyin's charm, cultivated through countless worlds, radiated a unique allure, revealing her inherent beauty.
Her mesmerizing, captivating eyes, like the vast ocean of stars, draw you in instantly, drawing you into her enchanting world.
Physician Hu couldn't help but catch his breath, suddenly noticing that this Borjigit princess had an exceptionally stunning pair of eyes.
Seeing Physician Hu's stunned expression, Qingyin suppressed the charm in her eyes and smiled as she asked Maya to take her leave of Physician Hu.
She asked Maya to bring her a bowl of hot water. Her mouth was a little dry and hoarse, so Qingyin drank the health-strengthening pill and beauty pill when no one was around.
Not long after taking the pill, Qingyin felt a comfortable warmth rising in her abdomen, and even the discomfort in her lower body lessened in this warmth.
She controlled the effects of the pills, since several imperial physicians, including Physician Hu, were still on duty. She couldn't let the effects of the medicine be too obvious, so she set the effects of the Body Strengthening Pill to last for about half a month. As for the Beauty Pill, the original owner was only eighteen years old after giving birth to two children, so she set it to last for two more months. It would be reasonable for her to gradually mature over the next two months after finishing her postpartum confinement.
Qingyin covered her eyes and boldly thought.
Just then, Maya returned with fresh hot water. Qingyin took a couple of sips before quietly lying down on the bed and closing her eyes to rest, under Maya's worried gaze.
