It turned out that after Yaoyao and Tian An had copied the medical text together, she found that the texts that gave her a headache before were now becoming interesting.
Ever since Tian An left the palace, she has calmed down and no longer goes out to play all day. She always carries a medical book with her wherever she goes and reads it whenever she has time.
She also had a booklet made for her, and followed Tian An's example by recording her thoughts after watching the film.
After reading so many medical books, Yaoyao was no longer satisfied with just reading. After the Chinese New Year, she thought carefully for a few days and then proposed her plan to study medicine to the emperor and the empress.
"Will the Emperor and the Empress agree?" Tian An said in disbelief.
"At first, my father and mother naturally disagreed. They said I was just a child and was fooling around." Yaoyao said with a look of dissatisfaction.
Tian An nodded, "Even if they don't mention it, I feel the same way."
Yaoyao: “…”
Seeing the little girl about to explode, Tian An hurriedly asked, "What happened next? How did you convince them?"
When Yaoyao heard this, she was incredulous and asked, "Sister An An, how did you know that I persuaded my father, the emperor, and my mother?"
"Isn't it obvious? If you hadn't convinced them, how could you still be here?"
“That’s right!”
When talking about her glorious deeds, Yaoyao was full of energy and started to describe the process of her success.
"At first, my mother didn't agree, so I went to her every day to ask for her help. And my father, whenever I saw him free, I would go up to him and talk to him about studying medicine."
"And they agreed?" If that was true, Tian An felt that the emperor and empress were too easy to talk to!
"Of course it's not that simple," Yaoyao sighed and continued. "My father got tired of my nagging, so he sent me to the Imperial Hospital to learn from the doctors."
"That's good! Why are you still sighing?" Tian An looked at her puzzledly.
"What's so good about it? Those imperial doctors thought I was just a flash in the pan and were just kidding! They never thought about teaching me seriously. They just let me pick herbs every day and nothing else."
Tian An was just about to teach her that picking herbs was a required course in medical studies when he heard her continue to complain.
"You said they let me pick herbs, that's fine, but at least they gave me a few more herbs to identify! I went there for seven days, and they gave me the same herbs every day.
It's just a piece of licorice root, but even a fool would remember it. I wasted seven days of my time. I should have read a medical book instead. There's more to it than this."
"Oh? What did you learn from the book?" Tian An couldn't help laughing and took the opportunity to test her.
"Ahem," Yaoyao cleared her throat, put her hands behind her back, and spoke loudly, "Shengdi, Danggui, Baishao, and Chuanxiong make up Siwu Decoction. It's a blood-nourishing formula used for liver blood deficiency and irregular menstruation in women. For both Qi and blood deficiency, it can be combined with Sijunzi Decoction to create Bazhen Decoction. Without the Shengdi and Baishao, it's called Foshou San, which promotes blood circulation."
Hearing this, Tian An raised an eyebrow and struck while the iron was hot, "Who are the four ingredients in the Four Gentlemen Decoction? What are they used to treat?"
Seeing Tian An asking again, Yaoyao knew that what she had just said was right, and she immediately became full of confidence.
He answered immediately, "Ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and Licorice root make up Sijunzi Decoction. It's a Qi-tonifying formula used for symptoms like a weak spleen and stomach, poor appetite, and diarrhea. For those with poor Qi circulation, add dried tangerine peel, making it Yigongsan. For those with a cold stomach, add costus root and Amomum villosum, making it Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction."
Tian An nodded and asked her a lot of basic questions, starting from simple to difficult, gradually increasing the difficulty.
Yaoyao answered the questions fluently at the beginning, but it became increasingly difficult as time went on. Tian An stopped asking questions only when she was completely unable to answer.
Although Yaoyao had difficulty answering, her self-confidence was not affected. On the contrary, she felt valued by Tian An and felt more and more that her decision to leave the palace was right.
"It's worth it that I begged Father and Mother for so long. Following Sister An An is indeed the wisest choice. Only you will truly value and teach me seriously."
"Hmm?" Tian Antun felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean by follow me? What do you mean by I want to teach you? When did I agree to that?"
"Hehe!" Yaoyao immediately clung to Tian An upon hearing this, "Sister An'an, I finally convinced my father and mother to agree to let me study medicine with you. Please accept me as your apprentice!"
Tian An was startled and waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, I can't take you in."
"Why?" Yaoyao was anxious. She had finally convinced her father and mother. She thought Tian An would be the easiest person to talk to, but she didn't expect to be rejected.
Although Tian An felt that Yaoyao had good qualifications, if it was someone else, she would definitely accept her without hesitation. After all, she really needed people around her, but Yaoyao was not one of them.
Firstly, she was a princess and couldn't stay outside the palace for long. If I wanted to teach her, I might have to stay in the palace for a long time. But once she entered the palace, many things would be delayed, which was definitely not acceptable.
Secondly, with Yaoyao's identity, even if she succeeds in learning, she should not be able to cure diseases and save lives like ordinary doctors. It would be cruel for her to have skills but be useless. It would be better for her not to spend energy to learn from the beginning.
Without hiding anything, Tian An told Yaoyao all his concerns.
I thought Yaoyao would be sad after hearing this, but unexpectedly, the little girl told her cheerfully, "Don't worry, Sister An An, I have already solved all the problems you are worried about."
"You solved it? How did you solve it?" Tian An didn't quite believe that the emperor and the empress would be willing to let the precious princess of a country treat people.
After all, being a doctor is not a job where you just sit and treat patients. Even if you ignore the patient's gender and the distinction between men and women, sometimes you have to come into close contact with feces and urine. It would be strange if the emperor and empress would be willing to do that.
