After settling Zhao Yunwan and Xiao Yuyan in, Li Ting carried Li Xingran to the side hall.
Doctor Ouyang washed his hands, took the swaddled baby, and first carefully examined Li Xingran's complexion. Her face was sallow, which meant she had jaundice, a symptom that almost all newborns experience.
Then, I gently pried open Li Xingran's mouth with a tongue depressor and checked her tongue coating. Her diet should be fine.
Dr. Ouyang examined the black spot more closely, touching it with his hand and finding it smooth and flat. If it were raised, that would be troublesome.
The final step is to take the pulse.
The pulse was also normal.
After completing this procedure, Dr. Ouyang sat down and wrote a prescription.
“Master Li, your daughter’s face is sallow, which is a common symptom of jaundice in newborns. I have a prescription here. Send someone to the pharmacy to buy it, boil it into a juice, and add it to your daughter’s bath water for seven days. The jaundice will then fade away.”
Please let me know about your daughter's breastfeeding situation!
"She's still breastfeeding normally, but she can't compare to her five older brothers. Maybe she's a bit more refined as a girl?" Li Ting quickly replied.
"This is normal for newborns. As for the dark spots on their faces, some babies develop dark spots because toxins from the womb accumulate after birth. However, these spots may lighten as they grow up, but whether they will completely disappear is something I can't say for sure. It all depends on each person's fate!"
After saying that, Doctor Ouyang shook his head.
After receiving the consultation fee, Liu Fu saw Doctor Ouyang out.
As he was leaving, Doctor Ouyang glanced at the woman sitting in the high seat who looked very distinguished.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After seeing it, Doctor Ouyang was startled and quickly left the courtyard.
This is terrible! The woman who took over—no, it's not Madam Li either—who could it be? She exudes a wicked and corrupt aura that doesn't fit the Li family's traditions.
Doctor Ouyang dedicated his life to treating newborns and women with difficult and complicated diseases. In this capital city, every household with children knew him.
Therefore, Doctor Ouyang had seen countless women. But this was the first time he had formed such an assessment. She was not someone to be trifled with.
If you can't afford to offend them, it's best to stay away. But how did the Li family manage to provoke such a person?
When Doctor Ouyang later learned that the woman from that day was actually the Empress, he swiftly closed Jishantang and left the capital.
Doctor Ouyang was skilled at reading faces. With just a quick glance, Doctor Ouyang sensed that this person was not a good person, and his intuition told him that he should not appear under her watchful eye again.
Li Xingran muttered with her eyes closed, "Haha, I even fooled this old doctor from ancient times. But why isn't this scheming empress leaving yet?"
Everyone: Ancient times? What dynasty? And a white lotus empress? I've never heard of an empress liking white lotuses!
[I hope Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother haven't caught Xiao Yuyan's eye? If they have, then we're doomed. You damned Yama, if you don't help me, I'll have to pray earnestly to the gods in heaven.]
Li Ruiqi and Li Ruiyue were very happy. Their younger sister always remembered them. This younger sister is so good.
Seeing that the doctor had left, Zhao Yunwan asked Li Ting to bring the child to her for a look.
Xiao Yuyan also came over.
"Oh, what an ugly child! How can she be so ugly? Crown Prince, you must not play with such an ugly monster in the future." Xiao Yuyan made no attempt to hide her disgust for Li Xingran's appearance.
Zhao Yunwan didn't stop her. She simply said, "Grand Tutor, please don't take offense. A child's words shouldn't be taken seriously."
Looking at Li Xingran in her swaddling clothes, Zhao Yunwan couldn't find a second word to describe the newborn baby; she only had one feeling—"ugly."
Zhao Yunwan withdrew her hand, which she had originally intended to hold the swaddled baby.
It was as if they were afraid that Li Xingran's ugliness would be passed on to her.
Perhaps due to poor feeding, its complexion looked terrible. Looking through the hat that revealed the top of its head, its hair was sparse and had an unhealthy color.
Dark spots appeared on the left side of my face, spreading all the way to the corner of my eye, and even covering the left corner of my mouth.
Is this what the daughter Li Ting has been longing for all these years is like? He must be very disappointed.
That's good too. Li Ting and Xu Ningyou will have to go to great lengths to seek medical treatment for the dark spots on their daughter's face. That way, she can use her methods, just like when the rest of the Li family suffered.
Zhao Yunwan didn't even say a word to comfort Li Ting.
[You scheming woman, if you dare hug me, I'll make you regret it. I know exactly what you're going to do next.]
"Grand Tutor, how is your wife?" Zhao Yunwan revealed the purpose of her visit.
[She's here, she's here. She finally revealed her true purpose: to compete in beauty with a woman who has just given birth. Tsk tsk tsk, she has the nerve? But besides competing in beauty, this venomous Zhao Yunwan has another purpose: to check if the poinsettia in her mother's room is properly arranged.]
The news from the Dali Temple has already reached this woman's ears; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so restless and come to the Li family to investigate immediately.
【Too bad, even if you knew, what could you do? This young lady will deal with whatever comes her way.】
[Hmph, if Father and Mother can hear my thoughts, my brothers probably can too! Oh well, if they hear me, they hear me. I can't speak yet, but when I can, I won't have to whisper these thoughts in my heart anymore.]
[That cannon fodder prince, why does he always stare at me! Beauty is a curse, men only slow down my sword-drawing speed. Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear! Sleep, drink milk, my goodness, this life is all about sleeping and eating!]
The five Li brothers secretly rejoiced upon hearing their sister's thoughts; their sister's words were truly amusing.
