If the one who was to be the mother had a muddled head, it was very difficult to ask for the children in her belly to not be like her!
Xuanyuan Zong Zhi was currently fretting over this matter yet saw his wife turn her head……
Ruan Zhu saw her husband looking at her with a little disdain and couldn’t help but become angry: “Hey, what’s with that look?”
“No……nothing. I thought about the situation with Zhao Hai. Didn’t you say he would surely go hunting?” Xuanyuan Zong Zhi blinked and changed the topic: “How about I send an attractive woman to tempt him?”
“Sure, but who are you going to send?”
“What about Nangong’s wife?”
You want to publicly give Bodyguard Nangong a green hat to wear? Ruan Zhu suddenly felt her husband was extremely black-bellied. None of the children of the imperial family were good. Don’t look at how their outside appearance resembled humans; the wicked things that they’ve done in the dark were too numerous, ah, too numerous.
“Would Bodyguard Nangong be willing?”
“It is beyond his control even if he is unwilling. Furthermore, it is high time his wife should accept secondary husbands.” Xuanyuan Zong Zhi smiled evilly.
While the married couple were conversing, Imperial Physician Zhang arrived while leading a small child who was carrying a medicine chest on his back. He beamed as he entered with Qu Gao by his side.
He was now the dedicated physician of the Prince of Qi’s residence. During the economic depression where even government officials were commonly drinking thin porridge and eating pickles, the elder was living a good life. He received double a soldier’s pay each month; in addition to the portion from the imperial court, the Prince of Qi’s residence also gave him some. But the Prince of Qi’s residence was much, much more generous than the imperial court. Aside from silver, there was also white rice, flour, and everything else he could need.
Ruan Zhu sat on the lounge chair and allowed Imperial Physician Zhang to take her pulse.
The elder chuckled: “Everything is normal. This humble one can confidently guarantee two plump sons will be born. Prince can just wait to become a Father!”
“It is two sons, not two girls and is also not twins of mixed sex?” She wanted a daughter. Always only having sons was so boring and she couldn’t help but to inquire: “I have heard that physicians can determine the gender by feeling the pulse and do not know if this is true?”
Xuanyuan Zong Zhi had also heard of this saying, but they were just words and should not be fully believed.
Imperial Physician Zhang deliberated for a moment before responding: “It is not that there is no basis in physicians being able to determine the sex of the unborn child. The male yang, the female yin; there are theories of the left as male and the right as female. If the pulse on the left hand is quicker than on the right, the fetus is male. If the right hand has a weak pulse, the fetus is female. Regarding the issue of speed of the pulses on each hand, there is no harm in niangniang trying it for herself when she has time. Ah, ah, however, this old one thinks that only after the child has been born can we know if they are a boy or girl.”
Engrossed, Xuanyuan Zong Zhi placed his finger on top of his wife’s pulse. Letting Qu Gao count, he waited until the other had counted fifty times before calling a stop and faced his wife, all pleased: “The pulse on the left hand is eighty-seven and the right hand is only sixty-nine. It must be twins of mixed sexes.”
Ruan Zhu was delighted, but after a moment, her beautiful eyes clouded with worry: “I want a daughter, but if in case it really is twins of mixed genders, and then we give the second child up for adoption to the Ruan clan, who would become the heir to the Prince of Qi’s residence?”
