The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 314

The Empress gave birth to a prince, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were overjoyed, granting a general amnesty.

“Panpan, you…”

Panpan stayed by the baby's side, tilting her head to look left and right without blinking.

Spring was in the air and she was preparing to leave the palace, but she remained standing guard.

"Second Aunt, you don't need to worry about me. I want to stay with my little nephew," Panpan said. "I want to stay in the palace for two more days."

Chunnuan was taken aback: Could it be that this child is using the excuse of seeing the little prince to avoid going back to his studies?

"Panpan, don't forget that you're studying. Your Uncle An and cousin will be ahead of you in their studies."

Panpan... Oh no, she forgot she's supposed to study medicine.

Therefore, she could no longer play with her little nephew.

“Be a good boy, little nephew. Auntie will make you some dumplings. You can wear them so you won’t get bitten by mosquitoes.” Panpan looked at the baby and said, “Sister-in-law, you should have the imperial physician keep an eye on him. If the little nephew turns yellow, you should send someone to tell me.”

"Okay, I'll listen to Panpan."

The Empress did not ask why, and simply nodded obediently.

Spring warmth nods in agreement.

Babies may develop a yellowish tint a few days after birth; this can be a minor or major issue.

Panpan took this matter to heart at such a young age, which shows that she was very thoughtful.

In the end, Chunnuan took Panpan back to the Xiao family.

When the Xiao family heard that the Empress had given birth to a prince without any serious complications, they all cried out for the Bodhisattva's blessing.

The moment Chunnuan entered the palace, the whole family was filled with worry.

Both Madam Xu and Madam Xu went to the Bodhisattva to pray, asking the Bodhisattva to bless the Empress with a safe delivery and to bless Nuannuan with a safe return.

When Chunnuan and Panpan returned, they finally felt relieved.

With all this back and forth, even Chunnuan was exhausted.

"That's all for today's lesson. Study your books carefully and learn about herbs. I'll test you again tomorrow."

The three nodded in agreement.

Panpan is also going back to the General's Mansion.

"This child is very lively."

Chunyu was somewhat worried.

"She said she was learning medicine from her second aunt, but look, all she remembers is playing; she hasn't been studying seriously at all." Chunyu went to check, and in the study, Chun'an and Muyang were reading. Guess what Panpan was doing?

Chunyu said to Xu.

What is Panpan doing?

"sleeping."

"Sleep?" Madam Xu was surprised, then laughed: "The child is young, and besides, she's a girl, so you shouldn't be so strict."

“Young lady, you are most carefree when you are at home as a daughter. After you grow up and get married, you have to be a wife, a mother and a daughter-in-law. You have to take care of everything and consider everything. You lose yourself because you are thinking of others.” Madam Xu sighed: “Panpan is so lucky. It’s good to let her have more happiness.”

"Mother, why are you still indulging her like this?"

Chunyu was really surprised, as her mother used to be very strict with them.

“Panpan has the protection of a princess and is also the eldest daughter of a general’s mansion. A girl like that won’t suffer when she grows up,” Madam Xu said. “Studying medicine doesn’t necessarily require grueling study. It’s good if she wants to learn a little, and if she doesn’t want to, let her be. Besides, even Nuannuan’s master doesn’t interfere with her, so what are you worried about?”

"Nuannuan spoils her a bit."

"She's not afraid of Panpan ruining her reputation, so what are you worried about?"

Chunyu... Her mother is sometimes unreasonable and really spoils her too much.

Panpan returned to the general's mansion and plunged into her pharmacy.

That's right, the General's Mansion also has Panpan's pharmacy.

"Miss, what medicinal herbs do you need? I'll find them for you." "No need, you can all leave. I can do it myself."

Panpan first rummaged through a bunch of medicinal herbs, fiddled with them for a while, then stopped. She then tried different herbs, thought about it, gave up, and tried again.

What is she doing alone in the pharmacy?

Chunyu was very worried when she learned that she had locked herself in the pharmacy after returning: "Why don't you go and check on her?"

"Madam, Miss won't let us get close. She says she'll take care of it herself."

Chunyu sighed. This child was probably going to make some kind of pills for those people in the palace again.

I don't know what she was doing, but whenever she was making pills for the palace, she would chase the servants out and lock herself inside to do it all by herself.

Chunyu was sometimes afraid that she would cause trouble, but year after year, she became more and more resourceful and didn't seem to cause any trouble, so she became more and more at ease.

"I've got it. I'm so smart."

In the pharmacy, Panpan suddenly praised herself loudly.

The maids couldn't help but laugh, and Chunyu also couldn't help but chuckle.

Where have you ever seen someone praise their own child?

She doesn't hold back when praising herself: "I'm so beautiful, I'm so smart, I'm so brave..." She uses all sorts of ways to praise herself.

Chunyu was both amused and exasperated: With a personality like that, what kind of family would she marry into so that she wouldn't be disliked?

Then I realized, she is a princess.

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress all dote on her. When she comes of age, she will definitely have a princess's residence, and then she will be married. There shouldn't be any major problems.

While Panpan was busy in the pharmacy, Chunnuan was also writing prescriptions in the Zhao family's pharmacy.

When Panpan mentioned that the prince's skin would turn yellow, Chunnuan kept it in mind.

Jaundice, also known as neonatal jaundice, is a condition in which the skin, sclera, and urine of an infant turn yellow after birth. It is related to pregnancy and other factors.

The reason Panpan raised this question must be because she had noticed something and deliberately informed the Empress in advance.

Therefore, she will definitely be able to use this prescription.

"Nuan Nuan, it really hurts to see you so busy."

Zhao Minghua didn't expect that Chunnuan would be so busy after returning to Beijing that she wouldn't have time for him and the child.

"Please bear with me a little longer," Chunnuan said. "The Empress has given birth to a prince, so I expect I'll be very busy these next few days."

"You still want to go to the palace?"

"Nine times out of ten"

Zhao Minghua sighed.

"Are all those imperial physicians in the palace just sitting around doing nothing?"

“I understand them,” Chunnuan said. “Firstly, they are indeed not capable enough to solve many problems. Secondly, they have to opt for conservative treatment and dare not take any risks. If something goes wrong, it could cost them their heads.”

My grandfather died unjustly in the same way back then.

"You're not afraid..."

Imperial physicians are paid a salary, so they should share the emperor's burdens; otherwise, what's the point of having them?

They're afraid of losing their heads, but you're not?

“I’m scared too,” Chunnuan said. “But I’m more confident than them. Sometimes, taking precautions is a way to protect yourself.”

Things hadn't reached an irreversible point. If I had intervened earlier and followed my own methods sooner, there definitely wouldn't have been any problems.

Therefore, she was destined to venture into this muddy water.

As soon as Chunnuan finished writing the prescription, her son pounced on her.

He kept babbling away, and Chunnuan smiled as she hugged her son.

"Do you have a problem? Do you miss your mother? Or do you want to talk? Or do you want your mother to cook you something delicious?"
