"The Princess is pregnant!"
When the news was sent back to the Mo Family, the whole Mo Family was in an uproar. Meton's family had only one son in each generation. When it came to Meton's family, Mo Lie died early, leaving Meton alone. Meton's family was related to the rise and fall of the Mo Family, so it was naturally a big event for the whole Mo Family.
After Meton grew up, marriage and children became the most important thing for the Mo Family. Now the Princess was pregnant, which was great news for the Mo Family.
Then the news was sent back to the Mo Family, and the whole Mo Family was also in jubilation. The development of the Mo Family was like the sun in midday, and the wealth of the Mo Family was accumulated rapidly. Although Meton was very young and there was no need to consider the issue of the successor, the prosperity of the Mo Family could only be continued when Meton had an offspring, not to mention that the offspring of Meton and Princess Changle were the only offspring to keep the wealth of the Mo Family.
Therefore, the Mo Family and the Mo Family were so excited when they heard that Princess Changle was pregnant, and Meton's idea of building a hospital for women and children was strongly supported by the Mo Family.
"We must build the best hospital. Everything must be built according to the specifications of the Mo clan's villa. Tell all the workshops to prepare steel and cement. We must give priority to the construction of the hospital for women and children. We must let the future young master and young lady be born in the best environment." Li Yi was extremely excited as he loudly ordered.
"Yes!" The supervisors of the workshops answered. Even if they knew that they had to work overtime from now on, they still had no complaints.
"And continue to order ceramic tiles from the Hebei Guan Kiln. They must be perfect. At the same time, choose the best brother Mo Jiazi to build the hospital in the shortest time, regardless of the cost. " After giving the order, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pressure in his heart was swept away in an instant. As long as the child in the Princess' belly was born safely, the Mo Family would have no worries.
Not to mention that the Mo Family was ready for battle, the Mo Family was even more solemn. The whole Mo Family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Uncle Fu, who was very excited, immediately led the whole Mo Family to check the whole Mo Family and clean it inside and outside.
"Don't make too much noise. If you scare the princess, you'll be in deep trouble."
"Pave these roads. Not only must they be flat, but they can't be too smooth. Otherwise, if the princess slips or trips on them, you'll have to bear the consequences."
…
Uncle Fu constantly gave orders to the people of the Mo clan, but he could not help but smile. He had watched Meton grow up until he got married. Now that the princess was pregnant, the Mo clan was about to have an heir, so he could finally answer to the old master.
Uncle Fu suddenly stopped Aunt Yu who was passing by. He looked at the food prepared by Aunt Yu and said with a wave of his hand, "Big Sister Yu, give the princess some nourishment immediately. Don't worry about the Light Disc Operation. Pregnant women are not included in this. Make sure the food is more sumptuous than what the princess usually eats."
Upon receiving the order, Auntie Yu could not wait to show off her skills. Soon, plates of delicious food were served in Princess Changle's villa.
"Husband, I've gained so much weight in just a few days." In the villa's bedroom, Princess Changle looked at her beautiful face in the mirror and said coquettishly.
Meton could not help but smile bitterly. He was the one who had really gained weight. Aunt Yu kept making delicious food without any cost. When Changle could not eat anymore, almost all of it went into his stomach in the end.
However, it was not a good idea to reason with a pregnant woman. This was the experience that Meton had learned after many painful lessons. Even Changle, who was usually gentle, still made Meton suffer a lot after she got pregnant.
"Now you're eating alone. Two people are nourishing. Of course you have to eat more. Only in this way can the baby be healthy." Meton hurriedly comforted her.
"But husband, I don't want to eat spinach." Princess Changle looked at the blanched spinach in front of her and could not help but frown.
Meton hurriedly persuaded, "Eating more spinach is very beneficial for the fetus in the first three months. Now that winter is approaching, only spinach is a green vegetable that must be eaten. Only in this way can our child grow up healthily."
"You're lying. I'm well-versed in medical books. How can I not know this? Besides, spinach has only been in the Tang dynasty for three years. How do you know?" Princess Changle did not believe him. Although spinach was rare, eating too much of it would still make one sick.
Meton couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he had an idea and said, "This is recorded in the secret works of Mozi. According to the ancestors of the Mozi Family, in Persia and other places where spinach is abundant in winter, the rate of child deformity is very low. The main reason is spinach. If we want our child to be born healthy, eating more spinach is essential."
Spinach contained a large amount of folic acid, which was the best thing to prevent fetal deformity. Meton was somewhat glad that he had promoted spinach early. In this era, there was no artificially extracted folic acid. Only through this method could pregnant women slightly replenish their folic acid.
Fortunately, after three years of promotion, the range of spinach cultivation in the Mo Family Village had expanded by hundreds of mu. It became the only trace of green in the withered world before winter.
"Truly?" Princess Changle asked, half believing and half doubting.
"Of course! For this reason, I have ordered to cut half of the spinach in the experimental field and specially supply it to the Women's and Children's Hospital for pregnant women to eat for free. Once the healthy rate of children born in the Women's and Children's Hospital greatly increases, it will definitely make the Women's and Children's Hospital famous. "Meton said proudly.
Seeing Meton's confident expression, Princess Changle was sure that this was true based on her understanding of him. She no longer resisted and finished the plate of spinach in front of her.
"Let's go! It's time to go to the Women's and Children's Hospital for a prenatal checkup today. "After Princess Changle finished eating, Meton stood up and said.
"Prenatal checkup!" Princess Changle couldn't help but look bitter. The prenatal checkup was also a regulation made by Meton for the Women's and Children's Hospital. It stipulated that once a woman was pregnant, she must go to the Women's and Children's Hospital regularly to check the development of the fetus to ensure the health of the fetus.
However, Changle also knew that Meton's action was also for the healthy growth of their child. Although she was reluctant, she still stood up and followed him to the newly built Women's and Children's Hospital.
The Women's and Children's Hospital's location was extremely extraordinary. Ever since he heard that Meton wanted to build a Women's and Children's Hospital for Princess Changle, Li Shimin naturally supported it. He waved his hand and directly gave the Women's and Children's Hospital a Prince's Mansion as its location.
This Prince's Mansion was the royal mansion of the previous dynasty. Not only was its location superior, but it also occupied a large area. Although the house was a little dilapidated, the scenery was excellent.
Now, the newly established Women's and Children's Hospital was operating in this Prince's Mansion. The one in charge of the Women's and Children's Hospital was Sun Simiao's favorite female disciple, Madam Zhang. She had once insisted on practicing medicine after marriage, but finally gave up because of the opposition of her husband's family. Fortunately, the Mo family offered her conditions that her husband's family couldn't refuse, so she was able to continue practicing medicine.
