After vaccination, timely examinations should be conducted to observe the reactions of the vaccinated person and to keep as many and complete records as possible.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the way and was busy with work along with County Magistrate Lin, Tang Shiyue and others.
After several days, during the grand court session, Emperor Mingyan finally received the memorial from the governor of Qinzhou.
Even though he already knew the result and received reports every day, when the dust finally settled, Emperor Ming Yan was still delighted. He said three times in a row: "Good! Good! Good!"
Then he handed the memorial to Gu Jiuxing: "Read it! Read it several times!"
Gu Jiuxing unfolded it and read aloud:
"In Jubao Village, Dongfeng County, Ganlin Prefecture, Qinzhou, 331 people were vaccinated with cowpox. After 18 days, all the scabs fell off, leaving only scars, and no one died. After that, they blew smallpox powder into their nostrils and kept in contact with smallpox patients for five days. No one had a fever, and no one was infected with smallpox!"
The high-pitched and shrill voice of the chief eunuch echoed in the Taiji Hall. All the officials showed joy on their faces and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
This is a huge happy event, which will benefit the present and future generations.
In fact, these data are enough to prove that the cowpox method is absolutely effective.
...
...
But the prince still stayed in Qinzhou and waited until everything in Dongfeng County was settled before preparing to return.
Before leaving, the prince met Tang Shiyue again. When serving tea to see him off, Tang Shiyue suddenly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Yue'er has something to ask of you."
The prince was slightly startled, but without rushing to call him, he said, "You go ahead."
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "Maybe I am arrogant, but I still want to ask Your Highness not to do anything to A Jing because of me."
The prince slightly lowered his eyelashes: "You mean..."
"I want him to live according to his own ideas. He is not Huo Yi. He is willing and able to undertake the mission given to the Huo family by the world."
The prince nodded: "I promise you."
She immediately smiled with her white teeth showing, her eyebrows curved: "I knew that His Highness was the best!"
He smiled and touched her head: "Get up."
At this time, in Chang'an City, Emperor Ming Yan also received the letter sent back by the shadow guard.
The shadow guard has investigated Tang Shiyue's case from beginning to end. Apart from her strange background, there is nothing unusual about her. She was indeed stupid for several years, and she was indeed not stupid anymore when she was kicked out of the house. Then she showed extraordinary fortune and intelligence.
Because of what happened before, especially with Wang, she often seemed a little lonely.
But in other matters, she is kind-hearted and righteous, which makes people look at her with admiration.
Especially during this epidemic, she showed unimaginable perseverance and responsibility in front of others, but behind others, she cried capriciously, acted like a spoiled child and was angry, just like a child.
All in all, there is nothing suspicious about it. It seems to be just as the folk rumors say, that it is a blessing from heaven to bring benefit to the people.
At this time, Emperor Ming Yan received a letter written by Tang Shiyue to Huo Qijing.
This is the second one.
Previously, the shadow guard had intercepted the letter she wrote to Xu Wenqu and the other two.
When the shadow guard copied the letter, he would try to make it exactly the same as the original. Then Emperor Ming Yan found that the letters to Huo Qijing, Xu Wenqu, and even to the crown prince were all in almost the same style.
They are all very...let go, messy...
But the letter to Huo Qijing had even more typos, and she made no effort to hide them. She was long-winded, writing more than a dozen pages, but in fact she only had three ideas.
First, I have remained as wise and powerful as ever during this period.
Second, I miss you so much.
Third, you must be having a hard time when I’m not by your side. No, you don’t need to explain. I know you only report good news and not bad news, so you must be having a hard time. I did this and that for this, so you must do this and that… Am I special! Awesome! Praise me!
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
As a grown man who had been an emperor for twenty years, he felt that this kind of character that required others to need her was really inexplicable.
He threw the paper aside and silently sympathized with Huo Qijing.
But all the doubts were gradually dispelled.
People always have this bad habit of trusting things they have found with great effort.
Emperor Ming Yan ordered the Shadow Guards to be withdrawn, but the four Dragon Guards were not withdrawn. Four more were added, and he gave an oral order to Ding Jiu, telling them to follow Tang Shiyue's arrangements in addition to protecting her.
In other words, these people have two masters, him and Tang Shiyue, and as long as the orders do not conflict, they can listen to her and help her.
Emperor Ming Yan was in a good mood and even made a joke.
Then the four dragon guards rode away from Chang'an City at full speed.
Since the epidemic in Dongfeng County was lifted, the city gates have reopened and Dongfeng County has returned to its former bustle.
During this period, happy events happened frequently.
First, County Magistrate Lin suddenly relented and agreed to the marriage between Chen Changqing and Lin Qiaoqian. Then, news came from Chang'an City that the embroidered clothes had become a tribute.
The Meng family was originally an imperial merchant, but the embroidered clothes originally belonged to Yuefang, but it was the Meng family who came forward to present them to the emperor. This was an affirmation of the Meng family!
I don’t know if it’s because of this, but the Meng family no longer sends people to call Meng Yiqiu back three times a day. Instead, they ask him to stay here for a few more days to consolidate the relationship with Yuefang.
Young Master Meng was so happy that he felt as if he had received "parental orders".
Then he acted like a straight man and started sending gifts to Tang Shiyue in a big way, including clothes and handkerchiefs, almost emptying the Meng family's shop.
Tang Shiyue refused to accept any of them. Until one day, Young Master Meng suddenly had a sudden inspiration and sent her a few nice men's suits, all in his own cool style.
Tang Shiyue fell in love with him at first sight.
Now that the dust has settled, I'm in the mood to show off. Spring clothes with superior texture and excellent embroidery are the icing on the cake.
Tang Fangzhu has always used her life to interpret that only the officials are allowed to set fires while the common people are not allowed to light lamps... Specifically, when she saw him wearing it, she thought he looked like a colorful peacock, but when she wore it herself, she thought he was so handsome, so handsome that it was dizzying!
She walked back and forth twice, and Meng Yiqiu came over with a smile, held out his hands, and handed over his jade bone fan. Tang Shiyue took it, opened it with a snap, shook it, and asked Xia Yuhui: "Who is more handsome, me or him?" She pointed at Meng Yiqiu.
How could Meng Erlang give others a chance to speak for such an easy question?
He said quickly: "Ayue is more handsome than Pan An, and I am far inferior to him."
Tang Shiyue was very satisfied and praised him: "Second Young Master's words are really pertinent."
Then she waved her fan and announced, "From now on, when I go out in public, I will go by the alias Tang Pan An!"
Meng Yiqiu: "..."
He couldn't help it and burst out laughing, then leaned over the corner of the table and laughed limply.
Xia Yuhui couldn't stop laughing, and complained: "It would be better if you just called me Tang Jinyu."
He said she was all show and no substance! So Tang Shiyue pointed at him with her fan and said, "Xiao Xia Xia, think carefully before you speak, don't offend me easily! Have you ever thought that one day you might call me Master... Ha, ha, ha..."
She put her hands on her hips and smirked.
Xia Yuhui was stunned. He couldn't help laughing at first: "You clever little ghost..."
She raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Xia Yuhui resolutely admitted his mistake and stood up to salute: "Brother Pan An is polite." He laughed out loud accidentally: "The name Tang Pan An is really appropriate."
A few people were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. Then someone outside said, "The imperial edict has arrived! Su Ji and Tang Shiyue, please accept it!"
