Chapter 67 How about I be your teacher for a few days?
Lu Yangyang froze.
She slowly turned her head, looking at the Crown Prince's flawless face with a hint of doubt.
No, is today some kind of learning assessment? Why is everyone asking her how her studies are going?
she……
She didn't know either.
Besides, she didn't plan to get into university by taking the Mingjing exam. She hadn't even finished her studies yet, and she would definitely be exposed if she took the exam.
She had inquired with Sheng Yunjiao and learned that the entrance exam for Taiming Academy had many subjects, and as long as one excelled in two subjects, one could be admitted.
Sheng Yunjiao told her not to worry. Although Taiming Academy required an entrance exam, legitimate children of powerful families still had ways to get in. Granny Shen had also hinted at this to her. She just needed to practice her handwriting until it was legible, which was the basic requirement, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.
Lu Yangyang wasn't simply hoping to get in through connections. She wasn't good at Mingjing (a traditional Chinese academic subject), but she was good at mathematics.
Her aunt not only taught her bone-setting and other methods of treating external injuries, but also taught her arithmetic. Although she only taught her occasionally when she felt like it, her aunt was very stubborn. Lu Yangyang had to learn whatever her aunt taught her. If she couldn't learn it, she would have to repeat it with her aunt dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times.
My aunt was immersed in her own world and didn't find it boring.
Lu Yangyang was so bored as a child that she didn't find it boring.
Over time, she learned quite well what her aunt taught her.
She had specifically tested the scholar next door, and found that she was much better at mathematics than him.
She even secretly tested Shen Mama and Sheng Yunjiao, and found that she was better at math than them.
So she should be able to get this score.
Another test she planned to take was archery. She hadn't practiced riding much, but she was very accurate at archery, which she had honed over many years of hunting in the mountains. She was no less skilled than the sons of the powerful and wealthy.
She was very confident.
Lu Yangyang considered it in her mind for a moment, then nodded confidently to the Crown Prince: "There shouldn't be any problem. The nanny said I just need to practice my calligraphy."
"Hmm, not bad," the Crown Prince replied.
Hearing him say that, Lu Yangyang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
If even the Crown Prince thinks she's good, then she must be fine! Lu Yangyang's confidence instantly soared.
Then he lowered his head to carefully examine the prince's wound. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he took out a needle and pricked a few places to clear the blocked blood vessels. When he turned his head and saw that the prince had no reaction, he sighed inwardly.
It still didn't work; I still had no sensation.
Lu Yangyang was unusually eager to find out if there was a better way.
She is not a person with clear goals.
I've been used to taking things one step at a time since I was little.
Because of her circumstances, her only goal was to survive, nothing more.
So all her efforts were simply to make sure she could live a good life.
She was like this when she was in the countryside, and now that she has come to the capital, she wants to seek justice for herself, defeat Sheng Yunzhu, and change her own destiny.
She never thought about what she wanted to accomplish or what kind of person she wanted to become.
But now, she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
They wanted to cure the prince's leg.
This idea is a bit difficult for her right now, because she has done her best. It may be of some benefit to the Crown Prince, but for her, there has been no progress.
For the first time, Lu Yangyang felt dissatisfied with her own area of expertise and wanted to do better.
correct!
Remembering what the head of the academy had said, Lu Yangyang hurriedly asked the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, the head of the academy told me today that he wants to take me as his disciple. Your Highness, do you think it's appropriate?"
The crown prince was slightly surprised, but upon reflection, he was not so surprised after all.
In the past six months, he had seen many doctors, from the Imperial Medical Academy to folk doctors. Almost every doctor with a reputation had been approached, but all attempts had failed.
His injuries worsened, and his legs, which initially had some feeling, eventually lost all sensation and became increasingly ugly and useless.
The place that the imperial physicians least want to set foot in these days is probably the Eastern Palace.
Because they were helpless, they even sentenced him to death.
His legs are beyond repair.
Furthermore, due to the use of banned drugs, his physical condition is much worse than before.
The imperial physicians were all filled with trepidation.
In the end, even the imperial physician responsible for his daily care, massage, and acupuncture was replaced by a former physician from the Eastern Palace, and no one else dared to provoke him.
In this situation, his sudden suggestion to find a young girl for acupuncture was sure to shock them.
Even before meeting Lu Yangyang, they had already begun to speculate about what made her so special.
However... the fact that he was offered to take Lu Yangyang as his disciple was quite surprising to him; it was hardly a good thing.
The Crown Prince silently watched Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is there something amiss?"
"No, I was just wondering what that old man is good at, and whether he's qualified to be your master," the prince replied softly.
Lu Yangyang's eyes widened, somewhat embarrassed: "How can my rudimentary skills compare to those of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy?"
The Crown Prince couldn't help but chuckle at her surprised expression.
"The Chief Physician has spent his entire life in the Imperial Medical Academy and has seen countless medical cases. Learning from him would certainly be beneficial, but there's one downside: he's the type to only say a fraction of what he means, which isn't a good habit and could corrupt you. However, he has a junior apprentice who recently came to the capital and should be working at Renxin Hall now. Go tell him that I said the best way to practice what you've learned is to apply it to your studies. He's getting on in years, so you can become his apprentice."
"Does Your Highness mean that these imperial physicians who have been in the palace for a long time all like to speak in riddles?" Lu Yangyang asked in surprise.
The crown prince chuckled, "Yes, you're right."
Lu Yangyang realized that she had asked too directly, and her face flushed slightly.
However, she understood what the Crown Prince meant. She wasn't going to enter the palace as a royal physician, so there was no need to learn those roundabout ways of hiding things. She could only improve herself by seeing more patients properly.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I understand!" Lu Yangyang's eyes lit up instantly. She thought to herself, if she couldn't cure His Highness with her current skill level, then if she learned more in the future, would she be able to find a way?
Lu Yangyang made up her mind that, as a way of repaying His Highness for his guidance, she would make healing his leg her small goal!
Just as Lu Yangyang was about to tell him her decision, she heard the Crown Prince say, "Although you are confident in your entrance exam, you won't be able to choose your subjects in the first year after enrollment. To avoid falling behind later, you should take advantage of this time to learn more. Since you're coming to give me acupuncture soon, and I have some free time, I'll take the liberty of being your teacher for a few days."
