Chapter 1317 A birthday gift for Bae Ji-soo!
Although Pei Zhixiu said she was fine, Ye Mingsheng still learned about Pei Zhixiu's heart knot through the people around her.

Ye Mingsheng was actually somewhat helpless about this matter. When Pei Zhixiu took the initiative to leave Changshan Medical Clinic a few months ago, Ye Mingsheng knew that Pei Zhixiu was unwilling in her heart.

At that time, Ye Mingsheng also considered letting Pei Zhixiu continue to run the Changshan Medical Clinic, but because of this matter, Ye Cui had a private talk with Ye Mingsheng. Ye Cui's idea was consistent. She still said that although it was a good thing for Pei Zhixiu to treat patients and save lives outside, as a woman, it was not appropriate for her to show up in public every day!
It would have been fine if Ye Mingsheng had not yet proclaimed himself emperor before, but now you, Ye Mingsheng, are the emperor of Daqian, and you, Pei Zhixiu, are also the imperial concubine of Daqian, so compared to before, you need to pay more attention to the dignity of the royal family. It is improper to do the same as before!
Throughout the dynasties throughout history, has there ever been an imperial concubine who ran out of the palace every day?

In addition to Ye Cui, some ministers also submitted memorials to Ye Mingsheng one after another, advising him openly or secretly not to let Pei Zhixiu run outside the palace every day. As a royal concubine, she should abide by her duties and take care of her husband and children in the palace. This is the right way!

Ye Mingsheng was also very distressed by such opinions, and at this time Pei Zhixiu took the initiative to close the Changshan Medical Clinic. At that time, Ye Mingsheng was also very pleased about this matter, knowing that Pei Zhixiu could put herself in his shoes and think about him. Therefore, seeing Pei Zhixiu doing nothing in the palace every day, Ye Mingsheng also wanted to help Pei Zhixiu solve this problem·····················
Ye Mingsheng has recently been considering letting Pei Zhixiu return to Changshan Medical Clinic, but if he does so, things will go back to square one and he will definitely face a lot of opposition.

Ye Mingsheng actually didn't care much about these opposing opinions. Anyway, there was already a lot of opposition in the court regarding the implementation of the reform, and Ye Mingsheng was like a lice that had too many lice to be afraid of!

However, Ye Mingsheng was worried that doing so would make Pei Zhixiu a target of public criticism and affect his image in the court. According to the report from the Coordination Office, his implementation of reforms had affected the interests of many gentry, so these gentry whose interests had been damaged began to spread rumors about him!
Now they are no longer satisfied with saying that they are a traitor who stole the throne of the Zhou Dynasty. The latest rumor they fabricated is that they are a cruel and incompetent monarch who indulges in wine and women every day and is the modern-day King Zhou of Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui.

And because according to convention, a cruel and tyrannical monarch must be accompanied by a demon concubine, so poor Pei Zhixiu was innocently caught in the crossfire and became the demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people and exploited the common people beside the cruel and tyrannical monarch!

In a G-based system, the lower-class people are naturally interested in the so-called royal secrets. In addition, the gentry who create and spread rumors still have a lot of say and influence in the countryside, so these rumors spread very quickly.

Although the Coordination Office has arrested more than a dozen people for this incident and has killed several people as a warning to others, unfortunately this has not stopped the spread of rumors·················

If it was just directed at himself, Ye Mingsheng would not be that angry. Anyway, the rumors about him had never stopped. He was often portrayed as a treacherous minister among the people. When he was on a secret visit before, he often heard rumors about how he stole the country!

There are many stories full of stories, including but not limited to the fact that he forcibly occupied the imperial concubine, that he was born a rebel and was born to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, etc.

Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was not surprised by such things. Ye Mingsheng was also very clear that the reason why those gentry tried so hard to spread rumors and discredit him was because the reforms he promoted affected their interests, and they were fighting back against him in this way.

If I stop the reform now and give them some benefits, they will naturally speak well of me, and I will transform from an extravagant, unjust and tyrannical monarch to a rare wise and virtuous monarch throughout history!

However, Ye Mingsheng doesn't care much about these false reputations. Ye Mingsheng has his own pursuits and ambitions. He wants to create a prosperous era and let Daqian develop towards modernization and legalization. As for other things, Ye Mingsheng believes that future generations will judge the right and wrong!
Although Ye Mingsheng didn't care what those people said about him, he was really angry when he saw them making up rumors about Pei Zhixiu, saying that Pei Zhixiu was a witch concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Ye Mingsheng has had many women. Including those who entered the palace through this selection, the number of his concubines will probably exceed thirty!
Among these women, Ye Mingsheng really thinks Pei Zhixiu is the special one. The others are fighting for power and interests, scheming against each other all the time...

Although Ye Mingsheng understood that this was the inevitable result of his identity, sometimes when he thought about it, he really felt annoyed and tired. A feeling of loneliness would arise in his heart and gradually spread.

At this moment, Ye Mingsheng would follow his instinct and come to Pei Zhixiu's side. Only in this way could he give his tired soul a moment of rest.

So Ye Mingsheng wanted to protect Pei Zhixiu well and didn't want her to get hurt and become the target of everyone's criticism!
For this reason, Ye Mingsheng severely punished those rumor-mongers on the one hand, and on the other hand, Ye Mingsheng did not intend to let Pei Zhixiu return to Changshan Medical Clinic.

Although he will not return to Changshan Medical Clinic, Pei Zhixiu's worries still need to be resolved. For this reason, Ye Mingsheng has been thinking about it these days.

Ye Mingsheng originally had not thought of any good idea, but a memorial from the medical school yesterday gave Ye Mingsheng an inspiration. The medical school planned to recruit students and then train more doctors to promote the development of Daqian medicine.

This is a good thing in itself, but there are some different opinions on the enrollment scope at the medical school. Some people at the medical school think that only male students should be admitted, but others think that due to traditional concepts, male doctors always have some inconveniences when treating female patients...

Therefore, people of this group believe that the saints have said that there is no distinction in education. Therefore, since it is inconvenient for male doctors to see female patients, why don’t we just accept female students in our medical school to train female doctors!

In this way, it would not be inconvenient for female doctors to treat female patients, and the problem would be easily solved. For this reason, people of this group even cited Pei Zhixiu and Changshan Medical Clinic as examples!
These people believe that the popularity of Changshan Medical Clinic in Yijing has proved that there is indeed a demand in this area at the Daqian medical level.

These two groups have been arguing fiercely in the medical school for the past month. Both sides insisted on their own views and no one could convince the other, so both sides simply submitted memorials. Because the medical school's funds came from the Ye family's account, their memorials came into Ye Cheng's hands!
Ye Cheng was undecided about this, so he gave the memorials from both parties to Ye Mingsheng and let Ye Mingsheng make the decision!
After seeing the memorial from the medical school, Ye Mingsheng had an idea in his mind. That is to let Pei Zhixiu go to the medical school as a guest official, and then let Pei Zhixiu give lectures to the female students of the medical school. In this way, Pei Zhixiu will have something to do and won't have to do nothing in the palace all day!
As one of Pei Zhixiu's patients, Ye Mingsheng still believes in Pei Zhixiu's professional level. He also believes that Pei Zhixiu can train a group of outstanding female doctors to fill the gap in Daqian medicine in this regard.

Although Ye Mingsheng had already made the decision on this matter and had approved 20,000 taels of silver in funding for the medical school, Ye Mingsheng did not intend to tell Pei Zhixiu for the time being.

Firstly, it takes time to recruit students for the medical school. Secondly, May 11th is Pei Zhixiu's birthday. Ye Mingsheng has not yet figured out what birthday gift to give Pei Zhixiu. After all, Pei Zhixiu is different from An Miaoyi and Murong Qingwu. She is not particularly interested in gold, silver, jewelry, and silks.

Pei Zhixiu didn’t seem to like the birthday gifts Ye Mingsheng gave her several times before, but this time Ye Mingsheng believed that Pei Zhixiu would definitely like this birthday gift from the medical school guest...

At night, in the Queen's bedroom

Ye Jingren, the crown prince of Daqian, recited under his mother's stern gaze:
"In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli reign, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County. The next year, the government was in order and the people were in harmony. Everything was revived, and he rebuilt the Yueyang Tower!"

At this point, Jingren's recitation came to an abrupt halt, and his little face showed embarrassment. Seeing this, An Miaoyi was helpless but still held a glimmer of hope for her son and reminded him:

"Add to the old system and engrave poems and essays by Tang Dynasty and modern poets on it!" However, facing his mother's reminder, Ye Jingren seemed very dull and could not utter a word.

"Jingren, didn't you tell me yesterday that the Yueyang Tower Record was taken down?"

Feeling the anger in his mother's words, Ye Jingren hesitated and whispered:
"I memorized it yesterday! But I forgot it today!"

An Miaoyi was already very angry, and when she heard Jingren say this, she was undoubtedly even more furious, and immediately started to speak:
"How can you forget your lessons? How come you can't forget to eat? How come you can't forget to play?"

"Why did I give birth to such a useless thing like you! Are you really going to piss me off to death?"

Jing Ren lowered his head in shame after hearing this, and at this time Qi Qi Ge beside him comforted An Miaoyi:
“Queen, the prince is still young and it is his nature to love playing. The prince is very intelligent and will be better when he grows up…”

An Miaoyi snorted coldly upon hearing this, but also restrained some of her emotions and ordered Jingren:
"Didn't you forget?"

"Then you have to copy this Yueyang Tower Record ten times for me. I will teach you a lesson. If you can't finish copying it ten times, Jingren, you are not allowed to sleep tonight. When you finish copying it ten times, you can go back to sleep!"

Hearing his mother say this, Jingren immediately said in shock:
"Mom! This Yueyang Tower Record has several hundred words. I'm afraid I can't finish copying it tonight. Can you give me a day? I'll give you these ten copies of Yueyang Tower Record tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Facing her son's request, An Miaoyi was extremely cold and ruthless, and immediately rejected it flatly:
"I want you to finish writing these ten times tonight!"

"Madame Liu!"

"The slave is here!"

"You must watch over the prince every step of the way. When the prince finishes writing, he can go to bed!"

"Your servant obeys the Queen's orders! Your Highness, please!"

Jingren originally wanted to say something, but looking at his mother's cold face, he understood that his mother was really angry. It was too late for him to say anything at this time, so he lowered his head and followed Madam Zhao.

After Jingren left, An Miaoyi also felt a headache, so she held her head and sighed deeply. Seeing this, Qiqige realized something, and immediately came behind An Miaoyi and began to massage her head...

Qiqige's technique seemed to be quite good. As her fingers pressed on An Miaoyi's temple, An Miaoyi's frown gradually relaxed.

However, before An Miaoyi had time to enjoy it for too long, a maid came over and reported to An Miaoyi:

"Your Highness, Madam Xu wants to see you. She said she has something important to report to you!"

An Miaoyi, who had closed her eyes and was enjoying Qiqige's head massage, immediately opened her eyes and said in a deep voice when she heard Aunt Xu asking for a meeting:

"Let her in!"

"Yes!"

As An Miaoyi finished speaking, without An Miaoyi saying anything more, Qiqige stood aside.

A moment later, Madam Xu came to An Miaoyi. After greeting An Miaoyi, she directly reported:

"Report to the Queen's Coordination Office to release Ren Hai!"

"Ren Hai is out?" An Miaoyi asked in confusion:

Aunt Xu nodded and said:
"Your Majesty, this is what happened. An hour ago, Director Wang of the Coordination Office personally ordered Ren Hai to be released from the Coordination Office!"

An Miaoyi was relieved to hear this. Although she didn't know why Wang Xuecheng released Ren Hai, it was a good thing for her that Ren Hai was out.

Before, An Miaoyi had always been worried that Ren Hai was related to the assassination of Liu Xinjie. For this reason, she had specially inquired for information from the Coordination Office, but did not get any useful information. Now that Wang Xuecheng has released Ren Hai, it means that Ren Hai is most likely not related to this matter...
