Chapter 124 It turns out that it was because of the lotus root powder cake
The second prince was indeed feeling a little unwell.
When Yang Junyi went there, the child was vomiting.
The house was filled with servants kneeling, especially the three wet nurses, who were trembling with fear.
Concubine Ying's hair was a little messy, and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. When she saw Yang Junyi, she threw herself at his feet and said, "Your Majesty, you are finally here."
"My beloved, please get up first." Yang Junyi helped Concubine Ying to get up.
In his impression, Concubine Ying was a woman who paid great attention to her image. Every time she saw him, she was dressed with exquisite makeup. Even if she was sleeping with him today, she would not completely remove her makeup.
So today, Concubine Ying was really anxious.
"Has the imperial physician examined it?" Yang Junyi looked around and saw that there was no imperial physician kneeling on the ground.
"The imperial physician examined me and said that it might be some food accumulation. But the wet nurses fed me on time, and I also strictly followed the diet. How could I have food accumulation? And even if it was food accumulation, I shouldn't have had a fever all the time." Concubine Ying said as tears came out again.
"Go and ask Doctor Xia to come over and take a look." Yang Junyi ordered the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch hurriedly went to invite him. After returning to the palace, Xia Zhi almost redivided the work of the Imperial Medical Hospital. He and the Left Imperial Physician were only responsible for the Emperor, while the others were in charge of the Empress Dowager and concubines, and one group was in charge of the princes. Of course, the princes currently were only Chu Yun and the Second Prince.
Chu Yun's identity had changed, so naturally his name had to be changed. However, the Emperor had not yet held a formal ancestor worship ceremony, so everyone just called him "Your Highness". Chu Yun himself still called himself Chu Yun.
Therefore, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the court were very dissatisfied with this, and they were also angry with Chu Zhenxuan. They suspected that Chu Zhenxuan had intentionally given Chu Yun the surname Chu, and some even said that he had some ulterior motive.
But Yang Junyi just smiled after hearing this. As long as Xia Xue was there, Chu Zhenxuan would definitely assist Chu Yun wholeheartedly, so sooner or later, the same surname would become Yang, so there was no need to rush.
Xia Zhi arrived soon and took the child's pulse. His diagnosis was the same as the previous one made by the imperial physician: the child had indigestion, which caused the fever. This often happens to children.
At this time, the second prince vomited again, but this time he didn't vomit anything, but a little yellow sticky liquid.
Xia Zhi dipped a little on his hand and smelled it, "Who has fed the Second Prince today?"
"It's the servants." The nurse in green clothes pointed at herself and the nurses beside her.
"What did you eat today?" Xia Zhi asked.
The nurse in green clothes answered hurriedly, "We eat according to the recipes given by the Imperial Hospital, and the food sent by the Yu Kitchen is also according to the recipes."
"I didn't ask these. I just asked what you ate?" Xia Zhi said again.
The nurse in green paused, then began to talk about the food she had eaten since morning.
The wet nurse next to her clutched her clothes tightly.
"What about you? What did you eat?" Xia Zhi turned his head and asked.
The nurse in light blue clothes pointed at the nurse in green clothes and said, "It's the same as what she eats."
"Then repeat it."
The nurse only said three things in a trembling voice.
Yang Junyi sensed something was wrong, "How dare you! Don't you remember what you ate?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have a bad memory recently. I forgot what happened in the morning by noon."
"Whether you forgot or you deliberately don't want to say it, we will know after testing your **." Xia Zhi said.
The nurse in light blue clothes was a little scared when she heard this, and kowtowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, I even ate lotus root powder cake."
"Lotus root powder is cold in nature and difficult to digest. It is not food that a wet nurse can eat. As the second prince's wet nurse, you actually dare to change his food without permission!" Xia Zhi said angrily.
"I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong." The nurse in light blue clothes glanced at Concubine Ying.
"Since you can't control your mouth, drag you out, give you a hundred slaps, and kick you out of the palace!" Yang Junyi said calmly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's just, it's just..." The wet nurse in light blue clothes was hesitant to speak.
"Just what?" Yang Junyi narrowed his eyes.
"It's just that the lotus root powder paste was given by the eldest prince, so I ate it!" The wet nurse in light blue clothes splashed the dirty water directly on Chu Yun.
"How dare you! Stop talking nonsense!" Concubine Ying shouted sternly.
"I dare not say anything nonsense. Your Majesty can ask other people!" The wet nurse in light blue clothes said aggrievedly.
"Did the eldest prince give it to you?" Yang Junyi gritted his teeth.
"No, no, it is naturally given to all the servants. I am just unlucky and was given the lotus root powder cake." said the nurse in light blue clothes.
Yang Junyi was silent for a while, then turned around, picked up the second prince and teased him.
After a while, Yang Junyi put the child down and glanced at the eunuch behind him, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
The eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment. Did the emperor just speak?
It was the little eunuch at the outermost side who reacted quickly. He took a step forward and tried to pull the wet nurse in light blue clothes.
The wet nurse in light blue clothes became anxious and looked at Concubine Ying for help.
"Your Majesty, we have all served the Second Prince for such a long time. Please be so kind as to let me assign a few more people and let them pay attention to it in the future." Concubine Ying said.
"Things bestowed by the eldest prince are naturally good things. She said she was unlucky and got the lotus root powder cake. Since God wants her to be beaten, why don't I fulfill her wish?" Yang Junyi said calmly.
Concubine Ying's face changed. Wasn't this a blatant disrespect to her and the Second Prince?
The young eunuch naturally didn't wait and directly dragged the wet nurse in light blue clothes out.
At this moment, Yang Junyi remembered what Xia Lu had told him. In this palace, every woman had to rely on his favor to survive, and so did every child. Without his protection, they would be bullied by the servants.
Naturally, no one dares to mess with Concubine Ying easily now, but if the other concubines hear about what happened today, will they take action against the Second Prince?
After all, he was his son. He looked so soft in his arms that he couldn't bear to put him back in his arms.
Yang Junyi sighed, "Pick a few better nurses for the Second Prince, and see if any of the ministers have wives or concubines who have recently had children. It would be a good idea to bring them in and give them some training."
Hearing what Yang Junyi said, Concubine Ying, who had a sullen face, immediately showed a look of delight.
Generally, royal nobles or ministers of some status rarely raise their wives, concubines and children themselves, because they will continue to compete for favors in the future.
But if you become a wet nurse for the prince, it will be different.
Although the wet nurses they trained normally were all born healthy, they were not from wealthy families after all. They were only brought up in recent years for the purpose of feeding. However, many of the wives and concubines of the royal nobles were ladies from prominent families who grew up in luxury. The nutrition in their bodies must be much better than those who were forced to grow up later.
In addition, selecting wet nurses from royal nobles can also help build up power.
But the most important benefit is that it shows that the emperor cares. According to previous custom, only the prince could find a wet nurse among the royal nobles!
