At his age, who knows how many more years he has left to learn?
However, Mr. Qian accepted the suggestion to have his clinic at Miaoshengtang.
That's how people are. When no one can surpass them, they feel like they are the most powerful and unique. But when someone more powerful than themselves appears, they feel a sense of admiration.
Now, Mr. Qian is completely convinced of Su Wanyan's abilities. Being able to work under her is like adding another unique chapter to his life in the remaining years.
Just then, Yu Nanqing's figure appeared in front of Miaosheng Hall. He was dressed in white, as white as jade, and the setting sun shone on him, as if he were being plated with a layer of gold.
Su Wanyan raised her eyes, but looked away after just one glance. It seemed that no matter when she saw Yu Nanqing, she always felt that he was too dazzling. Without being fully prepared, she could not suppress the panic in her heart.
However, on the surface, no one else noticed.
"Yan'er," Yu Nanqing called out, stepping into Miaosheng Hall, "Are you done with your work?"
In fact, Yu Nanqing had arrived long ago. Seeing that Su Wanyan was busy, he did not come in to disturb her, but instead found a teahouse to wait for the Miaoshengtang signboard to be hung up.
Su Wanyan composed herself and stepped forward: "It's over. What about you?"
Yu Nanqing smiled and nodded, then gently extended his hand, and Su Wanyan placed her small hand in his palm.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing decided to have their meal outside before going back.
With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, Su Wanyan was quite looking forward to it. She asked Yu Nanqing about some activities before going to bed that night.
In Fucheng, apart from some specific folk customs, many activities during the Dragon Boat Festival are similar to those in Beijing. The dragon boat race on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival is the highlight, and at night there is a night dragon boat parade to celebrate the winning dragon boat team.
The event was also accompanied by a Dragon Boat Festival banquet.
In order to achieve the best results on the Dragon Boat Festival, the teams participating in the race have been training intensively in recent days.
Because there are a lot of people watching the dragon boat races on the Dragon Boat Festival, many people in the city come to watch the dragon boat teams practice.
In response to the public's enthusiasm, the dragon boat team trained with utmost dedication, no less than in a formal competition, which thrilled the audience.
According to Yu Nanqing, a platform has been set up at the dragon boat race site. It was a special seat built for Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan, so Su Wanyan no longer needs to book a room in advance to reserve a spot, as she did in the capital.
So she wasn't in a hurry these past few days and didn't join the crowds.
While Yu Nanqing was organizing the affairs of Fucheng, she went to Miaoshengtang to help.
Although she doesn't have many patients seeking her treatment, Su Wanyan believes that treating illness is a matter of perseverance. Only when patients see improvement after using her medicine will she gain their trust.
Therefore, she is not in a hurry in the short term.
Of course, she could also use acupuncture to cure the patient within a day, but for minor illnesses that could be treated with medicine, Su Wanyan didn't want to go to great lengths.
And that also implies a sense of being too eager to achieve quick results.
There's another layer to it: if she really did that, people would flock to her for treatment, and she might not even have time to rest.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Su Chi'en was taken by Yu Nanqing to act as the patrol officer. Su Wanyan thought it was a good thing, so she did not stop him.
At noon, Su Wanyan ate her meal on the second floor.
"Would Your Highness like to rest for a while after lunch?" Qiu Ye asked as she served Su Wanyan the dishes.
Su Wanyan looked at the open French windows, where everything was bright outside. With Yu Nanqing not around, she felt a moment of boredom in the quiet space.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared on the second-floor balcony. His slender, bamboo-like figure made Su Wanyan know who it was without even looking. His pale blue robes fluttered in the wind, and the bottom of his robes was embroidered with landscape ink paintings.
With a light touch of the toes, the person landed steadily on the mahogany floor of the second floor.
Su Wanyan calmly chewed the food in her mouth, her expression unchanging.
Xiao Chensheng's smile was bright yet eerie. His neck, which was half a head longer than usual, was brought extremely close as he squinted at Su Wanyan: "Is Your Highness having a meal? Perfect timing, I'm feeling hungry..."
Su Wanyan raised her sleeve to shield Xiao Chensheng's face from her, and calmly said, "Qiuye, prepare a bowl and chopsticks for Young Master Xiao."
Qiu Ye watched Xiao Chensheng enter. He had just been on the balcony, but in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of her. While she was still in a daze, she heard Su Wanyan's words and quickly nodded, "Yes."
"What is Your Highness doing? I am so heartbroken." Xiao Chensheng said, still distancing himself from Su Wanyan, and pretending to be heartbroken as he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"..." Xiao Chensheng must be in trouble. This affected manner is really abnormal.
Qiu Ye added a bowl and chopsticks for Xiao Chensheng, who then sat down opposite Su Wanyan with a slight lift of his robe, showing no intention of being polite.
"Have you been at the Prince's residence these past few days?"
Su Wanyan didn't pay attention to Xiao Chensheng's whereabouts, and besides, if Xiao Chensheng wanted to leave, the people in the Prince's Mansion wouldn't stop him.
"Your Highness is keeping a close watch on things. Where can I possibly go?" Xiao Chensheng sighed, his face falling into a grotesque expression.
To put it simply, although Su Wanyan knew that Xiao Chensheng's facial changes were exaggerated, such flamboyance made her feel somewhat physically uncomfortable.
Even the rice in her bowl didn't taste good anymore. She stared at the dishes on the table in silence for a moment, then quietly put down her chopsticks and bowl.
He asked, "What exactly happened?"
Xiao Chensheng's eyebrows twitched, and even his hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly. Suddenly, he raised a bright smile and stared at Su Wanyan with a bored yet tentative look: "I said, Your Highness is willing to help me?"
"What is it you want to say first?"
"Then let it be."
"..."
Su Wanyan was speechless. If she was asked to help without being told, what if she couldn't do it?
Forget it, say it or don't.
Su Wanyan put down her chopsticks and stood up: "Go back after you're done eating, I won't keep you any longer."
"Oh dear?" Xiao Chensheng wasn't annoyed at all, and looked at Su Wanyan's back with a smile: "Your Majesty is so heartless."
Although she didn't want to think about it, Xiao Chensheng used to call her "girl," but now he was calling her "Your Majesty" all the time. A bad feeling lingered in her heart, but she couldn't find the source of it.
Su Wanyan went downstairs. It was lunchtime, and there weren't many people in Miaoshengtang. Only the apprentice was watching the store, and there was a sign that said "Closed" in Doctor Qian's clinic.
She walked into her consultation room, and Qiuye flipped over the "Closed" sign at the door.
Su Wanyan found a book, sat down and read while waiting. After a short while, she suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
"Is Your Highness tired?" Qiu Ye advised, "There's not much people around right now, Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while?"
Su Wanyan looked up and saw that there weren't many people in the hall; they were all waiting for Mr. Qian to start his consultations.
