Chapter 114: People visit the Dragon Lantern Festival and mention women studying medicine for the first time

After the long dragon dance team slowly went away, Shen Zhen suggested that everyone go down to join in the fun. Everyone else looked at Luo Jinan. His status was the most important here, so naturally he should be the leader.

Luo Jin'an lowered his head and looked at Xu Nian with a smile, "Nian Nian, are you interested in going down to liven things up?"

Xu Nian smiled and nodded. She had wanted to go down when she saw the dragon dance team just now, but this was her first time watching a dragon dance after all. She was afraid that if an accident occurred, she would not be able to guarantee her own safety, which would implicate others.

Now that the crowd downstairs was no longer crowded, she naturally began to eagerly try. Xu Nian happily pulled Shen Tinghuan and Liu Wanqiu downstairs first, and Luo Jinan also followed with a doting smile.

Xu Nian and the other two went from stall to stall, and within two quarters of an hour, each of them had a lot of food in their hands.

"Sister Xu, look, there are candied haws. I didn't expect that they are still sold now. I'll go buy a few strings."

Xu Nian looked at Shen Tinghuan who was running over, and pulled Liu Wanqiu to follow.

Xu Nian saw that there were only a dozen or so strings left on the straw target. He glanced at the young men following behind him and bought all the remaining candied haws from the old man in front of him. The old man happily gave the straw target to Xu Nian.

After Xu Nian took down three strings of candied haws, she handed the straw target with the candied haws on it to Luo Jinan, then turned around and continued to walk around and eat with her two good sisters.

The few people left at the back were stunned. Liu Ziyi was about to take it from Luo Jinan. What a joke! How could they dare to trouble this master?

Luo Jin'an dodged the hand that Liu Ziyi stretched out, picked up the straw target and followed him. Shen Zhen had never seen such a down-to-earth prince before, so he followed him and said jokingly, "Your Highness, please give me a candied haws."

Luo Jinan glanced at the grinning Shen Zhen and snorted, "Is it so easy to get the Tanghulu that Your Highness is carrying?"

"Luo Jin'an, give me a candied haws."

"Hey~ Nian Nian is here."

Shen Zhen's mouth twitched as he watched Luo Jinan running away. The difference in treatment was too obvious.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Shen Zhen hooked his arm around Guan Qingrui's neck and started to complain, "Your Highness is too stingy. He didn't even give me a single candied haws. I just feel sorry for you and am afraid that you are too tired from carrying it."

Guan Qingrui snorted and laughed, "Wipe your saliva before you say that."

Shen Zhen reflexively wiped the corner of his mouth, but there was no trace of saliva there. Knowing he had been fooled, the boy immediately began to chase Guan Qingrui who had deceived him. For a while, several boys were chasing each other and laughing in a mess, and even Luo Jinan was involved.

It was almost midnight when Luo Jinan and Xu Nian returned to the palace. Although Xu Nian was very sleepy, he still suggested to Luo Jinan that they set off back to Wansheng County the next day.

This time Luo Jinan did not force him to stay, but he thought about arranging everything Xu Nian needed to prepare for the return trip.

After much hesitation, Xu Nian finally told Luo Jinan his request.

"Luo Jin'an, can I invite Dr. Zhen back to Wansheng County for a while? As you know, my aunt is going to give birth soon, and the doctor said that she is pregnant with twins this time. I am a little worried."

In fact, Xu Nian had the idea of ​​asking Dr. Zhen to go back a long time ago. After all, this was ancient times when medical technology was backward. Every year, countless women died of difficult labors, not to mention Xiao Wang who was pregnant with twins.

Luo Jinan smiled cheerfully, "I thought it was something difficult that made you so reluctant to ask, isn't it just Dr. Zhen? If you like her to serve you, I'll send her to you."

"Luo Jinan!"

"Um?"

Xu Nian sighed, "Dr. Zhen is a doctor worthy of your respect. Maybe you think this is ridiculous, but I believe that if you can give Dr. Zhen a bigger stage, she will definitely give you a big surprise."

Luo Jinan has always known that Xu Nian is different from the women in Sheng Chao, or rather, different from the men in Sheng Chao, but he has always cherished this difference.

"Why don't you talk to me?"

Xu Nian pulled Luo Jin'an to sit on the railing in the courtyard, his eyes sparkling as he said, "As far as I know, only the famous families in the Sheng Dynasty would keep a female doctor for their female relatives. Even the wives of ordinary officials can only see a doctor when they are sick, not to mention the common people at the lower level.

But many women cannot show their illness to others, so they can only endure it silently. Even when giving birth, where the possibility of life or death is unpredictable, they just need to find a stable mother-in-law. "

Xu Nian excitedly grabbed Luo Jin'an's hand, "If... I mean, if you, as a prince, can support women studying medicine and recognize female doctors, then this phenomenon will definitely change a lot..."

Xu Nian looked at Luo Jinan who was looking at him with a smile and said embarrassedly: "Did I say too much and too fanciful?"

Luo Jinan held Xu Nian in his arms and whispered, "I'm so lucky that I was the first to discover you, such a dazzling person."

Luo Jinan never thought that women were inferior to men. In his code of conduct, the strong were always respected, even if the person was a woman.

"I will think carefully about what Nian Nian said. This time, Madam Xu's delivery is a test for Dr. Zhen. If everything goes well, I will give her a chance to prove herself as you said, okay?"

Luo Jinan didn't hear the answer. He looked down and saw that Xu Nian in his arms had already fallen asleep.

Luo Jinan smiled dotingly, "You are so carefree. You trust me so much." He squatted down, picked up the sleeping girl and carried her back to the bedroom.

Because General Wang Qian had already returned to Wansheng County, Luo Jinan hardly slept that night and was busy arranging arrangements for Xu Nian's return trip.

On the second day, Xu Nian packed his bags and said goodbye to everyone in the palace one by one. Only then did he leave the Zhenbei Palace with Luo Jinan seeing him off.

Hundreds of guards were ready outside the royal city gate. After Xu Nian's carriage arrived, the group was about to set off.

Luo Jin'an sat on his horse with reluctance in his eyes. He really hoped that his Nian Nian would reach marriage age tomorrow so that he could marry her.

On the contrary, Xu Nian was very decisive. After leaving enough medicinal herbs, he ordered the team to set off immediately, completely ignoring Luo Jinan's resentful look.

Watching the convoy going farther and farther away, until only a small black dot was left, Luo Jinan turned around and returned to the palace with Mo Zhu.

Xu Nian in the carriage did not act so indifferent. In fact, she was reluctant to leave Luo Jinan, but she knew Luo Jinan's personality very well. If she showed any reluctance, she would have no chance of leaving today.

Unlike when they came here, they did not have to rush and walked at a leisurely pace, especially with the company of Dr. Zhen.

Xu Nian discovered that Female Doctor Zhen was a very humorous person, totally unlike her image in the palace. Not only was she an excellent doctor, but she was also a first-rate cook. Along the way, Xu Nian was fed like a pet by Female Doctor Zhen.
