Chapter 357: Medical School?
The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating Tian's slightly shocked face. She widened her eyes, seemingly unable to believe the sudden news in front of her: "How could Murong Zixi be the princess of Chu?" There was a bit of confusion and shock in her words.
Qi Si Miao stood beside Tian, twisting the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands, her eyes flashing with anxiety and nervousness, and said in a trembling voice: "Really, mother~ I just told my grandfather in the study, and my grandfather said he would send someone to investigate."
Tian's expression eased a little when she heard this. She gently patted the back of Qi Simiao's hand to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Miao'er. You are the concubine chosen by the Queen Mother. Today, someone from the Queen Mother came to the mansion and said that on the eighteenth day, my Miao'er will enter the mansion of the Prince of Zhan as a concubine."
Qi Simiao frowned, looking worried, "Mom, I met King Zhan on the street today, but he didn't even look at me. He only had eyes for Murong Zixi." She felt lost and unwilling, and felt that she was being neglected.
Tian felt distressed when she saw her daughter's aggrieved look. "Don't worry, Miao'er. Prince Zhan may have been bewitched by that woman for a while, but you were personally chosen by the Queen Mother, and your position cannot be shaken. After you marry into Prince Zhan's mansion, you will naturally find a way to make Prince Zhan change his mind."
Qi Simiao bit her lip and nodded firmly, "Mom is right, I will definitely work hard to make King Zhan fall in love with me and become King Zhan's favorite woman." She secretly made up her mind to win King Zhan's heart no matter what.
Tian gently pulled Qi Si Miao to sit aside, then carefully took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes tenderly and lovingly, and softly comforted her: "Perhaps the Queen Mother doesn't know that Murong Zixi is the Princess of Chu. After all, judging from the Queen Mother's previous dislike for Murong Zixi, if she knew about this, she would definitely not agree to let Prince Zhan marry her as a concubine. Mother has heard before that the Queen Mother even had murderous intentions towards Murong Zixi!"
When Qi Simiao heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly asked, "Mom, is what you said true? Why have I never heard you mention these things?"
Tian smiled and nodded, and answered firmly: "Of course it is true! Tomorrow, mother will send people to spread the news that Murong Zixi is the princess of Chu, so that everyone will know about it. By then, once the queen mother learns of this news, she will definitely..."
Qi Si Miao leaned her head on Tian's shoulder with tears of gratitude and said in a tender voice: "Mother, you are so kind!"
Tian stroked her hair lovingly and responded with a smile: "You are my sweetheart, and I naturally hope that you can be happy! Well, it's getting late, go to bed early."
Qi Si Miao nodded obediently and replied, "Yeah."
The sun shines through the windows into the room, casting a warm golden glow throughout the house.
Chu Zixi woke up dazedly in the hazy morning light. She stretched and rubbed her eyes sleepily. When she looked to the side, it was already empty.
Chu Zixi felt the pain in her waist and couldn't help but complain: "Men are really scary after they start having sex..."
Just then, there were slight footsteps outside the door.
Xiaocui and Xiaolu, two attentive maids, stood at the door, their ears keenly caught the movement in the house. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Then, Xiaocui carefully opened the door and walked in with a basin of hot water for washing her face.
Xiaolu followed closely behind, holding a soft towel in her hand, with light steps and a cheerful smile on her face.
Seeing that Chu Zixi had woken up, she whispered, "Princess, are you awake?" There was a hint of playfulness and intimacy in her voice.
Chu Zixi hummed softly. She endured the discomfort in her body, supported herself on the edge of the bed with both hands, and slowly sat up from the bed.
Her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, casually draped over her delicate shoulders, which seemed to add a bit of pitiful and lovable temperament to her. Chu Zixi slowly got out of bed, walked to the shelf with a shaky step, and began to wash.
Xiao Cui began to tidy up the bedding with quick hands and feet.
After Chu Zixi finished washing up, she moved to the dressing table and sat down. Xiaolu followed her. She held an exquisite jade comb in her hand and gently combed Chu Zixi's silky long hair. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was afraid of hurting Chu Zixi.
After getting dressed, Chu Zixi walked out of the room and went to the yard to have breakfast.
She sat quietly at the stone table, drinking porridge.
After breakfast, Chu Zixi walked to a rattan chair in the yard, lay down lazily, and called softly, "Yu Da." Her voice was soft and magnetic, like the sound of nature.
When Yu Da heard the call, he immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Princess, I am here."
Chu Zixi raised her head slightly, looked at Yu Da with clear and firm eyes, and said slowly: "You go buy a large courtyard, a quiet place, and a little more spacious. It would be best if there is a big yard to take in some homeless children and teach them to read and write."
When Yuda heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Yes, Princess."
After Yu Da's figure completely disappeared, Chu Zixi called out softly, "Yu Si."
Yu Si responded in a steady voice: "I am here, what do you want, Princess?"
Chu Zixi's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Go and recruit some young people who are interested in medicine. Remember, you must select those who are kind-hearted, and their backgrounds must be clean without any stain."
Yu Si frowned slightly after hearing this. He was obviously confused by the unfamiliar word "Medical Sect" and couldn't help asking, "Medical Sect?"
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, able to melt all the cold snow: "I plan to establish a medical sect, a sect that can not only save people and cure diseases, but also teach medical skills, so that more people can learn to save themselves and others."
Upon hearing this, Yu Si's eyes flashed with excitement and determination: "As you command, Princess, I will live up to your expectations and recruit the most loyal and promising disciples for you."
"Don't reveal my identity first," Chu Zixi warned.
Yu Si nodded and left.
Yu Er and Yu San looked at each other, and Yu San couldn't help but ask, "Princess, do you really want to accept a disciple?"
"Well, I have nothing to do, so I plan to train a group of talents with superb medical skills. They will be a powerful force by then."
