Chapter 290 Consort Fucha
Subsequently, Wen Shichu and the imperial physicians began to vaccinate the princesses against smallpox.
This is a very important and meticulous task, and every step must be carried out with utmost care.
This vaccination of the princesses with cowpox is of paramount importance.
This not only concerns the safety of the princesses, but also affects the smallpox vaccination program.
The entire process was carried out in an orderly manner, with the imperial physicians moving skillfully and gently to minimize the princesses' discomfort.
Although the princesses were initially nervous, they gradually calmed down with the patient reassurance of the imperial physicians.
Surrounded by onlookers, the princesses bravely underwent smallpox vaccination.
After the vaccinations were completed, they were properly arranged to rest in a courtyard.
The entire vaccination site was tightly surrounded by guards to ensure the princesses' safety and privacy.
As time went by, the people became increasingly concerned about the princesses' health.
Outside the vaccination site, people gather here every day, hoping to see how the princesses are doing.
Although they did not see the princess
But the sound of the princesses laughing and joking inside the vaccination site reassured them somewhat.
"Listen, the princesses are laughing! It seems they are doing very well."
An elderly woman said this, a relieved smile on her face.
"Yes, the princesses are so brave, we can't be afraid either."
Smallpox vaccination is definitely safe.
The young woman next to her chimed in.
A chorus of agreement arose from the crowd, and everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They were all eager to start arranging vaccinations for the children as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the vaccination sites are currently busy vaccinating the princesses.
They cannot be vaccinated for the time being.
The weather was still sunny on the third day after the princesses were vaccinated against smallpox.
The sunlight shines on the earth, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
Outside the vaccination site, people continued to stream in. They chatted quietly in small groups.
Or they may come alone and stand quietly at a distance to observe.
Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and curiosity.
Hopefully, this will provide some of the latest news about the princesses.
Wen Shichu and the imperial physicians were on high alert, carefully observing the condition of each princess.
The princesses gradually developed slight redness and swelling at the injection sites, accompanied by some itching.
This is actually a normal reaction after smallpox vaccination, but Wen Shichu still dared not take it lightly.
He specifically whispered instructions to the princesses:
"Princesses, this is a normal reaction. Please do not touch it with your hands."
Scratching can break the skin, leading to infection, which would be troublesome.
Moreover, scratching can easily leave scars. Princesses are precious and delicate; if they have scars, it won't be beautiful.
Wen Shichu's voice was gentle yet firm, making people feel incredibly at ease.
Although the princesses were still young, they all nodded obediently, indicating that they remembered.
Princess Shuhe was the most composed among them.
She was a little nervous.
But she still tried to remain calm and smiled as she said to Wen Shichu:
"Lord Wen, we understand, we will definitely endure it."
The other princesses nodded in agreement, reminding themselves not to scratch.
Wen Shichu's biggest fear was that the princesses would get a fever.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
As time went on, the princesses' reactions to the smallpox vaccination gradually subsided.
By the fourth day, the redness and itching had significantly improved, and the princesses were in excellent spirits.
Wen Shichu and the imperial physicians finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that the smallpox vaccination campaign had been initially successful.
Wen Shichu led several imperial physicians into the courtyard where the princesses were resting.
With a relieved smile on his face, he said softly:
"Princess, the reactions after the smallpox vaccination are gradually subsiding, which is a very good sign."
If we observe for a few more days and no other abnormalities occur, we can confirm that the vaccination was successful.
Princess Shuhe smiled slightly, her tone gentle yet firm:
"Professor Wen, we all know the importance of this vaccination, and we trust your expertise."
What does it matter if we suffer a little, as long as the people are at ease?
The other princesses nodded in agreement. Princess Wenyi said softly:
"Although we are young, we know that this is for the benefit of all people."
We felt it was all worthwhile if it could save more people from the threat of smallpox.
Wen Shichu was filled with emotion; these princesses were so young...
Yet they possess such a sense of responsibility and courage, which is truly admirable.
He bowed slightly and said, "Princesses, rest assured, we will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Meanwhile, the people outside the courtyard were also discussing the princesses' condition.
A young father stood at a distance with his child, his eyes full of expectation:
"I heard the princesses are doing very well, so it seems that the smallpox vaccination method is indeed safe."
"If only my child could have been vaccinated earlier!"
An old man next to him nodded and said, "Yes, the princesses have taken the lead, so what do we have to worry about?"
If this smallpox vaccination method could be widely implemented, it would truly be a blessing from our ancestors.
Another person chimed in:
"That's true. This newly enthroned young emperor, though still young, has a vision and ambition that should not be underestimated."
"To have the princesses take the lead in getting vaccinated against smallpox is truly a great blessing for the people."
“That’s right!” an older man nearby chimed in.
"I heard that although this young emperor ascended the throne at a young age, he is a benevolent and skillful ruler."
He often cared about the hardships of the people.
This time, he even personally promoted smallpox vaccination, demonstrating his dedication to the people.
"That's it!"
An old man nodded in agreement.
"This young emperor got smallpox right after he ascended the throne. Do you think this is the will of Heaven?"
His ability to promote smallpox vaccination so quickly might truly be a gift from heaven sent to save the people.
“That’s right!” a middle-aged man next to him chimed in.
"I heard that the retired emperor has more than one son, the young emperor."
This young emperor has three older brothers, two of whom were adopted out.
Someone asked, "What's the last one?"
The middle-aged man replied, "There's another one I heard isn't in good health and doesn't like reading."
He was granted the title of Beizi and is recuperating in his residence.
"Oh, I see."
The person next to him nodded and said,
"It seems that the throne has truly been passed down to the young emperor, which is indeed the will of Heaven."
Although the young emperor is young, he is methodical and thoughtful, and cares deeply for the people—qualities that few can match.
Then another person said, "I've heard that this smallpox vaccination method can be discovered."
Because the young emperor had contracted smallpox in his childhood, the Empress Dowager Fucha specifically instructed her family...
They searched among the people for ways to resist smallpox, which led to the development of the cowpox vaccination method.
"Oh, I see!"
The person next to him nodded and said, "It seems that the discovery of the smallpox vaccination method..."
It was truly thanks to the efforts of the Empress Dowager Fucha.
Not only was she herself deeply principled, but she also did many genuinely good things for the people.
"Yes, Empress Dowager Fucha came from a prestigious family, was well-educated and reasonable, and was deeply trusted by the Emperor Emeritus."
She has always cared about the suffering of the people, and her promotion of smallpox vaccination has truly brought great benefits to the people of the world.
An old woman chimed in.
An old man said, "The reason why people choose to marry a virtuous wife is precisely because of women like Lady Fucha."
Only then could there be a wise ruler like the young emperor who cared for the people.
Someone chimed in, "That's not all. I've heard that these princesses were also raised by the Empress Dowager."
These princesses are so virtuous and understanding; that's truly a good thing.
Many people strongly agree with this statement.
However, some people were very dissatisfied with the words praising the young emperor and his mother.
"What's so good about these Qing Dynasty Tartars?"
They thought to themselves with resentment
The fact that this young emperor was able to discover smallpox was simply a matter of good luck!
This land of the Han people has been seized by these Manchu barbarians. How many of our Han people have they killed?
These people were furious.
This little emperor only discovered smallpox, and they're already so grateful?
These Tartars really know how to win people's hearts.
These people were originally hiding here, intending to sabotage the princesses' vaccinations.
In this way, they can take the opportunity to incite the people and create chaos.
To their utter surprise, there were so many people guarding this place.
It's so small that even a mosquito can't fly in.
They just hoped something bad would happen to these Tartar princesses.
Unfortunately, their plans were doomed to fail.
The princesses' vaccination progressed smoothly without any unexpected issues; in fact, it improved day by day.
By the fifth day, the redness and itching on the princesses' faces had almost completely subsided.
Their faces were beaming with relaxed smiles.
After a careful examination, Wen Shichu and the imperial physicians
The smallpox vaccination was confirmed to be completely successful, and the princesses are in good health.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire courtyard.
The people outside the courtyard cheered with joy upon hearing this good news.
They hugged each other excitedly, and some even cried tears of joy.
People flocked to the vaccination site, eager to see the princesses' health status for themselves.
The vaccination site was immediately bustling with people.
Just then, the princesses came out together.
They stood there gracefully, like fairies descended from heaven.
Their smiles are sweet and lovely, making people feel happy just looking at them.
Wen Shichu, accompanied by several imperial physicians, came out and announced the good news to the people:
"Fellow villagers, the princesses' smallpox vaccination has been a complete success, and they are in excellent health!"
This shows that smallpox vaccination is safe and reliable, so there's no need to worry!
As soon as Wen Shichu said this, the people cheered.
Wen Shichu waited a while before continuing to speak.
"However, to put everyone's minds at ease, we will also vaccinate the princesses with smallpox next."
To further verify the effectiveness of this cowpox vaccine, let's wait and see!
The people heard this and some people said
"That's incredibly thoughtful. Now we can be more confident about getting vaccinated against smallpox."
Wen Shichu smiled slightly and patiently explained:
"Fellow villagers, although the smallpox vaccination method has been initially verified as successful..."
However, to ensure that everything goes perfectly, we still need to conduct more rigorous verification.
Although variolation carries a slightly higher risk, it is effective if a cowpox vaccination is successful followed by variolation.
If they can remain healthy, then the immune-boosting effect of cowpox can be fully proven.
The princesses were willing to take the risk again so that the people of the land could rest assured.
After hearing Wen Shichu's explanation, the people nodded in approval, praising the princesses for their righteousness.
However, those who harbored resentment did not give up.
They were secretly plotting something.
These people were secretly plotting to create chaos and sabotage during the vaccination of the princesses with smallpox.
This is their only chance.
The night before the smallpox vaccination, all was quiet, and the entire vaccination site was immersed in the tranquility of the night.
A dark figure slipped silently into the vaccination site like a ghost.
After some searching, the shadowy figure finally found the acne powder to be injected the next day.
His heart was racing, and his hands were trembling slightly; he was clearly both nervous and excited.
Just as he was about to make his move, suddenly, a sword light flashed like lightning across the darkness.
It hit the shadowy figure accurately.
The shadowy figure didn't even have time to scream before it was subdued in an instant.
At the same time, those who harbored resentment were also captured in one fell swoop.
Their plot was stillborn before it could succeed.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the smallpox inoculation process proceeded smoothly.
The princesses acted bravely as before.
They cooperated with the imperial physicians without fear, demonstrating their strength and courage.
After several days of cautious observation, the princesses were finally found safe and sound.
This is undoubtedly the most powerful proof of the strong immune effect of cowpox!
This good news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the city.
The people's worries finally subsided.
People who had previously harbored doubts about cowpox vaccination have now put their concerns aside and are eagerly signing up for the service.
The good deeds of the young emperor and Empress Dowager Fucha are like the warm sun in winter, warming everyone's heart.
Praise for them came in waves.
Those with ulterior motives and malicious intentions, faced with such a warm response,
Helplessly, he buried his plans deep inside, slunk away into the crowd, and dared not show his face again.
The princesses' outstanding performance this time allowed them to fully shine in front of the public.
No longer as eager for fame as before
With Hongchang's personal promotion, smallpox vaccination sites were set up in various places.
The imperial physicians and local officials worked closely together to ensure that every vaccination site operated safely and efficiently.
People are no longer helpless against the COVID-19 vaccine as they used to be; instead, they are actively bringing their children to get vaccinated.
Hongchang personally issued an edict, requiring officials in all regions to attach great importance to the smallpox vaccination work and not to be negligent in any way.
He also emphasized that the vaccination costs would be borne by the imperial court.
People do not need to pay for the vaccination themselves; they only need to bring clothing and food to the vaccination site to get vaccinated.
This move moved the people to tears of gratitude.
News of this major event in the palace quickly reached the Yuanmingyuan Garden, where Consort Wen and others were tending to their infant princess.
They were all very happy, waiting for their princesses to grow up a little more.
They could also return to the palace to get vaccinated against smallpox. The princesses should try to get closer to the Empress Dowager.
