Allure of a Country Maiden

Imperial Medical Office

Dr. Luo was shocked when he heard that Prince An and Princess An were summoned.

So the secret came to your door so quickly?

What on earth did the prince tell the princess? Can anyone give me a hint?

Or would he pay for it with some money?

Dr. Luo anxiously came to Prince An and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Luo, please sit down. I have asked Dr. Luo to come here to inquire about something from you."

coming! Doctor Luo was wailing in his heart, but his face didn't show it: "Princess, please speak!"

"Does Dr. Luo know that if cousins ​​get married, the children they give birth to will be sick?"

This is what I was asking! It really shocked him! Imperial Physician Luo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and replied respectfully: "It's not absolute, but the Imperial Physician's Office and the Ministry of Household Affairs have collected information on children born from close relatives across the country. It was found that more than 70% of families have In this case, if we look at the statistics from those children, 90% of them are born from close relatives. The close relatives mentioned here do not only refer to cousins, but direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations."

"So many?!" Prince An and Princess An were surprised.

This shows that most sick children in this era were born from close relatives.

"Back to Princess, yes. The people at the Imperial Medical Office are still looking for the reason for this result, but they still haven't found it."

They have reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor has not yet brought it to the court for discussion on whether to ban close relatives from getting married.

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to bother you, Imperial Doctor Luo, to make a special trip." After Prince An and Princess An said this, she picked up the teacup next to her and started drinking tea.

This is the meaning of seeing off guests.

"Princess, you're welcome. I'll take my leave." Dr. Luo said knowingly.

…

The dim stars are dotted with pearls, and the palace ladies are busy begging for tricks on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, the decree of naming the king came down. The second prince Shangguan Xuanhao was named the Wise King, the fourth prince Shangguan Xuanjun was named the King of Qi, and the sixth prince was named the King of Rui.

After the decree was issued, all the officials sent gifts to the three emperors one after another.

Xiaoer asked people to register them one by one so that they could return gifts in the future.

First, King Xian hosted a banquet for guests, and then King Qi arrived. Then to King Rui.

Today it was finally the turn of Prince Rui’s Mansion to host a banquet for the guests.

The original plaque on the gate of the Sixth Prince's Mansion has also been changed to read Prince Rui's Mansion written by the emperor himself, which is majestic.

Shangguan Xuanyi was greeting male guests in the front yard.

Xiaoer receives the female family members in the backyard.

The gardens of the Sixth Prince's Mansion are famous for their exquisite beauty and picturesque scenery everywhere.

Everyone who was lucky enough to see it was full of praise.

How can anyone who can come today miss the opportunity to appreciate the uniqueness of the Imperial City?

Many people suggested going to the garden to have a look, so naturally Xiaoer couldn't be stingy and stop them.

Although July is a hot month and the heat is unbearable, it can't hold back everyone's enthusiasm.

However, the weather today is quite good, it is cloudy and cloudy. It was a scorching sun when Prince Tianxian hosted a banquet for guests yesterday! The pot-bellied Princess Xian almost fainted from the heat.

After everyone walked out, there were only two people left in the flower hall. Seeing that Fu Ranhui was in a low mood, Xiaoer guessed the reason. However, emotional things in this world are the most difficult to force. If you like it, you will like it, and if you don't like it, you won't. Like, everyone has difficulty controlling their feelings.

But Xiaoer believes that time can dilute everything, including the strongest feelings ever.

The present and the future no longer exist, then this relationship becomes the past. There is no past that will not be forgotten by time, and there is no past that cannot be overcome.

Xiaoer was just thinking about how to comfort Fu Ranhui when Shangguan Xuanyi walked in.

Just as Fu Ranhui was about to stand up and salute, Xiaoer pulled her back and said, "Okay, we are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite."

Shangguan Xuanyi also nodded: "Listen to your imperial cousin."

Shangguan Xuanyi had nothing to do when he came from the front yard. He was just worried that Xiaoer would be tired, so if she felt tired, she could just send them away.

Xiaoer said he understood and asked him to go back to the front yard to greet the guests.

Seeing this, Fu Ranhui couldn't help but said with envy: "The Sixth Prince is so kind to you."

"That's because he truly loves me. In the future, if you find a husband-in-law who truly loves you, he will always keep you in his heart. Only couples who truly love each other will be happy together." Xiaoer didn't mean what he meant. .

Fu Ranhui smiled bitterly after hearing this, lowered her head and said nothing. She originally thought she could marry the person she liked, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Xiao'er, if my cousins ​​get married, will they really give birth to a sick child?"

Xiao'er nodded: "The probability is higher than that of someone who is not a close relative."

It seems that Prince An used this excuse to reject the marriage, but this is better than knowing that the person she is longing for is not her.

"Why? They're not siblings, so it doesn't count as incest!"

How to explain the existence of the recessive genetic disease gene?

Xiaoer thought for a while and then said: "Children have half of their parents' blood flowing in them, right?"

Fu Ranhui nodded.

"Close relatives means that the blood flowing on their bodies is partly the same, right?"

Fu Ranhui nodded.

"In fact, everyone may have inherited the recessive genetic disease factor from their parents. This recessive disease will not occur when married to someone who does not have this recessive disease. It will only be hidden. If both people have There is this kind of recessive disease factor. When two factors come together and are inherited in a child, the recessive factor will become dominant, and the disease will become apparent. If people in a family share part of the same blood, then everyone will Is the probability of having this recessive disease factor relatively high? If we get married in this way, will the chance of these recessive factors colliding with each other be greater? Is the chance of a child born with a disease being greater? Is this the case? Say, do you understand?"

Fu Ranhui nodded in confusion, but she didn't quite understand what a recessive genetic disease factor was. Why wouldn't recessive factors show up, but two recessive factors would show up when they collide?

Fu Ranhui asked what she didn't understand.

Xiaoer simply told her what genetic material is, dominant genes, recessive genes, selective expression of genes, etc., and let her digest and absorb this knowledge by herself!

Fu Ranhui was dumbfounded when she heard this. She even forgot about the emotional pain. She only knew that close relatives were very harmful.

"Do you want one of your future children to be sick?"

Fu Ranhui quickly shook her head: "But it's not 100%!"

"Yes! So are you willing to fight? But you don't have to have a child to get married. You can let my concubine give birth and then raise it yourself. Are you willing?"

Fu Ranhui shook her head again, of course she didn't want to.

What she longs for is the pair of people that Xiaoer once mentioned, not a group of wives and concubines!

She felt that Shangguan Ruixi was not a man with many wives and concubines.
