After Tang Zhen left, Ye Zhen asked Hou Peidong to come and see her.
The medical workshop in the capital was founded by her. Although she did not do everything herself, she cared very much about the success of the medical workshop. Therefore, every once in a while, she would learn about the situation of the medical workshop. Compared with the beginning, more and more people believed in the medical workshop, which also made Ye Zhen feel gratified.
Hou Peidong was still the same as before, but he did not look so sloppy. Now that he was in charge of the medical workshop, many things needed to be decided by him. He did not dare to be as lazy as before.
"Your Highness, the medical workshop now has at least 20 patients a day. Compared with before, people seem to believe in us more and more." Hou Peidong said with a smile.
Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. Is the medical workshop sufficiently staffed? If not, we can ask for a few female doctors from the medical school to help. "
"Not all hospitals are willing to go to the medical workshop. We selected two a few days ago, and now they can help us." Hou Peidong said.
The current empress entered the palace as a female doctor, which made many people think that being a female doctor would give them a chance to get close to the emperor. In the past two years, the number of women signing up for the medical school has increased several times, all because of the empress. If they were chosen to go to the medical workshop, wouldn't it ruin their future?
Those people had dreams and thought that they could make a meteoric rise in the palace. Hou Peidong did not dare to choose them to go to the medical workshop.
Ye Zhen had also heard of this matter. She just smiled and did not take it to heart. "It's good to be able to help."
She said, "Many people are fighting for their scalp to bleed in order to enter the palace as a female doctor."
It was said that the female doctors in the medical school were more powerful than the beauties in the palace. Their means were more ruthless than the other. Those who did not know would think that the medical school was the emperor's harem.
"Go back and tell the dean of the women's college that if such things happen again in the future, there is no need to punish them. Just expel the female doctors directly." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Hou Peidong looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. He thought that the empress didn't want to care about the women's college. Since the empress lived in Chengde Villa, it seemed that she didn't pay attention to many things except for the medical workshop.
In Ye Zhen's view, the medical center was a very important place. Whether it was the women doctors selected to enter the palace or those who would be sent to various places in the future, they all needed to have a sincere heart to treat the common people. If they just wanted to enter the palace to compete for favor, then they should give up as soon as possible. As long as she was the Empress of Jin Kingdom, she would not let these people enter the palace.
"Is there anything else in the capital?" Ye Zhen whispered.
"I didn't hear anything else," Hou Peidong replied quickly.
Ye Zhen glanced at him. "That's good. I have opened a medicine field here. Some of the herbs have been picked. You can take them back to the clinic by the way."
In reality, how could Hou Peidong not know what was happening in Jingdou? Even if he didn't know, he could still faintly find out. However, he knew that he could not tell the empress at this time.
He heard that Dongqing was going to support the Beiming Kingdom. At this time, Ye Chunnan, who was in Xiliang, must be in danger. He was very worried, but he couldn't let the empress see his worry.
Ye Zhen looked at the back of Hou Peidong and smiled helplessly. It seemed that they did not dare to tell the truth in front of her.
She turned and went to Daohua Courtyard to find Pei Shi.
Pei Shi was inspecting the delivery room and discussing something with Doctor Qi. When she saw Ye Zhen coming in from the outside, she smiled and said, "This delivery room is good, but why is the baby's bed here?" Ye Zhen was stunned.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I wanted to feed the baby myself."
"How can that be? You should make up for it when you are in confinement. Doesn't the baby have a wet nurse?" Pei Shi disagreed. Only women from small families could feed themselves. Yao Yao was the empress, and the wet nurse was the one who chose the appearance to match the baby. How could she feed herself?
"The wet nurse is also ready. Mother, you don't have to worry." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"No, I have to see the midwife and the wet nurse in person." Pei Shi said.
Ye Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mother, the midwife and the wet nurse were chosen by the emperor himself. Is there any problem?"
Speaking of Mo Rongzhan's personal choice, Pei Shi naturally did not dare to find anything wrong.
"Mother, how did Marquis Jingning send you here?" Ye Zhen looked at Pei Shi and asked in a low voice.
Pei Shi's eyes flashed and she said with a smile, "I wanted to come with your father, but he had too many errands. It just so happened that … Marquis Jingning had something to do, so I came with him."
Ye Zhen and Pei Shi had been together for several years. How could she not see that Pei Shi was hiding something? "Mother, is father so busy? I haven't seen him for a long time. "
"Yes, isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? He is very busy. "Pei Shi lowered her head and said.
"Mother, tell me, is something wrong?" Ye Zhen frowned. Did Mo Rongzhan not let Lu Shiming come to Chengde Villa? Or has Mo Rongzhan left the capital?
Pei Shi almost wanted to tell the truth. She glanced at Ye Zhen's belly and held back. She smiled and said, "What can happen? By the way, your eldest brother's marriage has been settled. He will get married next year. I like the little girl of the Su family very much. Your eldest brother will definitely like her as well." Pei Shi almost wanted to tell the truth.
Ye Zhen looked at Pei Shi, who changed the topic. "Mother, I know something must have happened. Otherwise, Xue Lin would not have let in any news. Tell me, is the emperor …"
"No!" Pei Shi said quickly. Seeing Ye Zhen's stunned expression, she realized that she had spoken too hastily. "I mean, the emperor is still in the palace. There is nothing wrong."
"Is that so?" Ye Zhen's heart sank a little. Did Mo Rongzhan really go to Qi? He left in a hurry that day because of this matter. He didn't even need to tell her. Did he think there was no need to discuss this matter with her?
Pei Shi saw her reaction and was afraid that Ye Zhen would think too much. She smiled and said, "Don't think too much. The emperor will come to accompany you in two days."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Is that so?"
"By the way, I also heard that Empress Shu from the palace wants to come to pay her respects to you. I really don't know what her intentions are." Pei Shi snorted angrily.
Hu Yue 'er wants to see her? Ye Zhen's face was cold. Hu Yue 'er wanted to see her. It was probably related to the Princess of Qi.
"It just so happens that I still have some things to tell Hu Yue 'er in the palace." Ye Zhen said faintly, turned her head and called Hong Ling in. "Go and tell Xue Lin that I want to see Empress Shu. If he does not bring people to Chengde Villa, then I will go back to the palace to see her in person."
Hong Ling's face turned pale. "Yes, Niang."
Xue Lin's face turned ashen when he heard this.
