Chapter 137 Uproar
In that ancient world where conceiving offspring was quite difficult, the turmoil caused by Prince Jing's wife Lin Yuxi spread quickly to all the mansions like a raging fire.
"Have you heard? Prince Jing's wife has set up a midwife training class!"
"What? This is really new! Teaching women how to take care of themselves and how to prepare for pregnancy scientifically... these are all unheard of!"
"That's right! They also said that it's easiest to get pregnant during that time, and that that posture is the easiest to get pregnant... This is simply unbelievable!"
When the news reached the palace, the emperor sat in the imperial study, listening to the eunuch's report with a complicated expression. He had high hopes for Shen Minghui, a junior, and now that he heard that his crown prince's consort was doing such a thing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"How can Lin Yuxi, a woman who has never conceived a child, know all this knowledge?" the emperor frowned.
Eunuch Li thought about how favored Lin Yuxi was at home, and guessed, "Your Majesty, could it be that Duke Rong collected them for the Crown Prince's Consort? After all, she is the only sister. I heard that several generals in the Rong Mansion dote on the Crown Prince's Consort very much!"
"You mean... this is the real dowry that Lin Yi sent back?"
"Your Majesty, I am just guessing, but this is possible! Moreover, if this knowledge really has those miraculous effects, the fate of Daqian, which has had difficulty in having offspring for hundreds of years, will be completely changed. What a great merit this will be!"
The emperor nodded slightly. This was indeed the case, but the matter concerned the reproduction of offspring, so he had to consider it carefully.
At the same time, various mansions were in an uproar.
**Prime Minister's Mansion**
In the flower hall, the prime minister was talking to his wife when a maid ran in. "Master, the wife is not well, not well!"
The Prime Minister's wife frowned and said, "What's the matter? Why are you yelling? You have no manners!"
The maid took a breath and said, "Madam, it's rumored that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jing has set up a midwife training class to teach women's care knowledge, how to prepare for pregnancy scientifically, various examinations to be done during pregnancy, how to take care of the fetus, as well as precautions for childbirth, postpartum care, how to take care of infants and young children, scientific child rearing, etc."
"What?" The Prime Minister's wife stood up in surprise.
The Prime Minister was also shocked: "This Lin Yuxi, how could she know these things?"
The Prime Minister's wife: "Master, if this is true, then it is a great thing! Our daughter-in-law has been married for so many years and has just had a child. If she can learn, maybe..."
The Prime Minister nodded and said, "That's true. Ask someone to find out when this training class will start!"
"Yes!"
- **Shangshu Mansion**
Inside the Shangshu Mansion, the Shangshu's wife was talking to her son about this. "I heard from people outside that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jing organized a midwife training class, which taught some methods of giving birth. Do you think this is true?"
"Mother, how is this possible? How can a woman know these things?"
The Shangshu's wife: "I also think it's unlikely, but it's spread all over the place! It sounds very plausible!"
Li Taian thought for a moment and said, "Should we send someone to investigate?"
The Shangshu's wife: "Okay, send someone to check it out! If it's true, we can't miss this opportunity!"
"Yes!" Li Taian answered without hesitation.
……
At the same time, Xu Wanrong of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion also received the news. She touched her huge belly and for the first time felt a deep gratitude towards Rongguo Mansion. Although the system gave her painless childbirth pills and postpartum recovery potions, they also cost points!
If you can get it for free, of course it’s the best!
As for why it was Lin Yuxi who was rumored instead of Lin Yifei? Isn’t this normal?
Lin Yifei is an unmarried teenager. After doing all this, does he still want fame? But if his sister were to handle this matter, it would be completely different. That would be both fame and fortune!
Hahahaha, this time she can be said to be taking advantage of the big tree to enjoy the shade, right?
It seems that this time-traveling man is sometimes useful!
……
For a time, the women in the capital were full of curiosity and anticipation about this midwife training class.
After that, some people listened to the midwives' lectures for a while, either actively or passively. Then some people took a try-it attitude and after doing it for a while, the results came one after another.
"This training course is so useful! My daughter-in-law had not been able to get pregnant before, but after listening to these classes, she actually got pregnant!" said a lady excitedly.
"That's right! My daughter has also benefited a lot. She always worried about getting pregnant before, but now she finally has hope." Another lady echoed.
However, as the influence of the training courses grows, some negative voices begin to emerge. Some conservative people believe that this knowledge violates traditional moral concepts and will have a negative impact on society.
"This Princess Consort of Prince Jing is simply doing outrageous things. She is imparting such shameless knowledge and is simply corrupting social morals!" a conservative official said angrily.
"Yes, this knowledge should be kept private and should not be taught publicly. By doing this, she is challenging the traditional moral bottom line!"
"Is this scientific preparation for pregnancy really that magical? I think it's just a gimmick!" said a minister with disdain.
"Yes! How can a woman like Lin Yuxi know any medical skills? I think she is just spreading rumors to confuse the public!" another minister echoed.
Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Yuxi seemed very calm. She knew that this knowledge might be shocking in ancient times, but as long as it could help those women who wanted to have children, she would be satisfied.
"Haters are fans too, so go ahead and argue! The more controversial the argument, the more attention it draws. Isn't that how popularity builds?"
Shen Minghui smiled when he heard this, but he was still a little dissatisfied that someone was so blatantly targeting his wife. With such stubborn ideas, could they really adapt to the government of their Daqian Dynasty? Let's investigate them all!
As time went by, the effect of the training class gradually emerged. More and more women successfully became pregnant, and some difficult and complicated diseases were effectively treated. Lin Yuxi's name gradually spread throughout the capital and became an object of admiration for everyone.
The emperor gradually made up his mind while observing, but he still decided to have a good chat with Lin Yuxi first. After all, it was her dowry, so he still had to ask for some advice on how to use it.
Therefore, the emperor issued an order to summon Lin Yuxi to the palace. After receiving the order, Lin Yuxi was excited and nervous. She knew that this was a rare opportunity for her to pass on her knowledge to more people.
"I heard that your training class is very successful and has achieved remarkable results. I summoned you to the palace today because I want to hear your suggestions," said the emperor.
Lin Yuxi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think that the issue of offspring is related to the future of the country. Nowadays, it is difficult for ordinary people to conceive, mainly due to the lack of scientific knowledge of care and methods of preparing for pregnancy. Therefore, I suggest that training courses be promoted nationwide to benefit more women."
The emperor nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Yuxi's suggestion in his heart.
"Your suggestion is very good. I agree!" said the emperor.
Lin Yuxi thanked him gratefully, her heart full of anticipation. She knew that once the emperor decided to promote the training class, more women would benefit from it, which would undoubtedly be a great deed.
After Lin Yuxi left the palace, she told Shen Minghui about this. Shen Minghui was very happy to hear that the emperor decided to promote the training class.
"Haha, it seems our efforts have not been in vain." Shen Minghui said with a smile.
Lin Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes! Daqian is about to usher in a stage of population explosion."
With the emperor's support, training courses were promoted all over the country like mushrooms after rain. More and more women benefited from the knowledge of the training courses, successfully became pregnant and gave birth to healthy babies.
Lin Yuxi also became the object of everyone's admiration. Her name was remembered by people and became a legend.
