This place shares many similarities with the local customs and traditions of Jingyuan, but there are also some subtle differences.
The market was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.
The stalls were filled with all sorts of goods, from exquisite handicrafts to rare treasures.
The group went on a shopping spree, and soon each of them was carrying a huge pile of stuff. After putting it back in the carriage, they continued their 'sweeping' spree.
However, at this moment, Prince An, who was in the palace, was not as relaxed and at ease as the others.
At that moment, he felt extremely uneasy, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
Emperor Jin and Empress Dowager are discussing the date of their wedding.
Their personal visit to propose marriage to the eldest princess demonstrated their utmost sincerity to the Jin Emperor, making him feel that he was being taken seriously.
Therefore, Emperor Jin decided to grant the eldest princess the most generous dowry ever, a treatment unparalleled among all the princes and princesses.
After some discussion, the wedding date was finally set for May of next year.
The delegation will come in March next year to welcome the princess to Jingyuan to complete this grand wedding.
In addition, the retired emperor, the empress dowager, and Prince An will depart after the New Year to return to Jingyuan to make relevant preparations.
Meanwhile, the wedding of Prince Liang and Du Ruoxi will be held next April.
Now, everything seems to have settled down.
Prince An was highly regarded by the Jin Emperor because of his outstanding performance and exceptional talent.
Emperor Jin would even pull Prince An aside every day to talk to him about everything under the sun, clearly intending to teach him.
If Prince An can successfully ascend the throne, it will be an absolutely fantastic thing for their Xuan Yue Kingdom.
This not only means that the relationship between the two countries will become closer, but may also bring more development opportunities and practical benefits to Xuan Yue Kingdom.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Meng Zhelan. Right now, her mind was filled with thoughts about the future.
I learned from Li Xi that the world he lived in had many comprehensive medical clinics and medical schools that specialized in training doctors.
If a similar medical school could be successfully established in this era, the problem of access to medical care that plagues ordinary people might be easily solved...
After all, she had been learning to identify herbs from her father since she was three years old.
It wasn't until last year that she officially opened her clinic to treat patients.
However, her abilities are limited; as a doctor, she should take it upon herself to help people and save lives.
If we can train more doctors, we can benefit more people.
Therefore, an idea gradually took root in her mind.
She would establish a medical school to train physicians. She could then teach her medical skills to others, enabling them to identify herbs, learn acupuncture, pulse diagnosis, and more…
This might alleviate the problem of insufficient numbers of doctors...
But these are not things she can accomplish alone; she needs to think about this issue carefully.
"Lan'er, what are you daydreaming about? Your soul has wandered off!" Li Xi looked at Lan'er in front of her and couldn't help but laugh.
Lan'er stared straight ahead, a faint smile playing on her lips, clearly lost in thought.
Li Xi was carrying several heavy burlap sacks filled with all sorts of souvenirs.
These were gifts she had specially prepared for her brothers in Tingfeng Academy and Yinmen.
She knew that everyone worked hard in their training and rarely had a chance to relax.
So for this trip, I specially bought some interesting gadgets, hoping to bring everyone some joy.
In addition, Li Xi specially selected a fine inkstone for Xiao Yi.
This inkstone has a delicate texture and a warm luster; I'm sure Xiao Yi will love it. Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Xi's face.
"It's nothing, I just remembered what you said about the medical school last night, and I suddenly had some ideas. Let's find some time to talk to the Emperor Emeritus."
Meng Zhelan recalled some of her own thoughts.
She knew the idea might be a bit bold, but if it succeeded, it would be a huge opportunity for them.
After all, medical school is a very important field, and if breakthroughs can be made there, their future development will be much broader.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhelan couldn't help but feel excited.
She couldn't wait to tell the Emperor Emeritus her thoughts and see if he shared the same views and ideas.
"Lan'er, you know I'll definitely support you 100%. Let's have a good look around first. Xuan Yue Kingdom is much more lively than ours." Li Xi took the package from her hand.
Qin Xiaolin very naturally reached out and took the sacks from Li Xi's hands.
His elegant and noble appearance contrasted sharply with the dusty burlap sacks, making him seem out of place.
Standing to the side, Shen Xu took in his tall and straight figure and felt a sense of familiarity well up in his heart.
I always felt that this person was somewhat similar to my good brother.
So, he asked curiously, "Master Feng and Brother Li seem to know each other quite well. Have you known each other for a long time?"
Qin Xiaolin slowly turned his face, his deep and sharp eyes seemingly able to penetrate people's hearts, staring intently at Shen Xu.
His lips curled up slightly, forming an enigmatic smile.
"The time we've spent together isn't actually that long. But there's a special connection between us; we hit it off immediately. Now, I consider her family." His voice was calm and natural.
There was no trace of emotion in his voice, but the unwavering determination he conveyed was undeniable.
Shen Xu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "I see. But Brother Li is indeed a reliable person, and I have long regarded him as family. He once saved me, and he is my savior."
His tone was full of pride.
Qin Xiaolin nodded slightly, seemingly not intending to delve further into the topic.
He turned around and continued walking side by side with Li Xi, the atmosphere between them becoming increasingly harmonious.
As Shen Xu watched their retreating figures, a strange emotion welled up within him.
By this time, it was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire bustling city.
Qin Xiaolin and Li Xi walked side by side on the bustling city street, and everything around them became exceptionally peaceful and beautiful.
Meng Zhelan and Tian Tian followed behind the two, while Shen Xu lagged behind the group.
The group went into a lavishly decorated, opulent restaurant, and Qin Xiaolin immediately requested an elegant private room.
This restaurant is exquisitely decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, resembling a luxurious palace.
After entering the private room, everyone took their seats. Qin Xiaolin sat in the main seat, while the others sat on either side.
At this moment, Shen Xu suddenly asked, "Master Feng, have you been here before?"
His gaze fell on Feng Monian, his eyes filled with curiosity.
