Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night! Chapter 61 - 55: Such a Gifted Seedling... Why Does She Have

Subsequently, Bai Susu promptly instructed Chuntao and Nuansia to tidy up her clothes and jewelry, to avoid leaving a bad impression on Imperial Physician Ming.

After tidying herself up, she led the two out to personally greet Imperial Physician Ming.

Before long, an elderly man with white hair and a beard, yet surprisingly smooth skin with no wrinkles, approached.

Bai Susu imdiately stepped forward to greet him, "Imperial Physician Ming, hello, thank you for your trouble this ti."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Ming quickly assessed Bai Susu with his gaze, then shook his head and said, "Miss Bai, you are too polite. The Crown Prince has ordered, how dare I not comply? However, learning dicine is not an easy task and not to be taken lightly; I hope you are not motivated by a re whim."

Bai Susu listened, and promptly replied with solemnity to Imperial Physician Ming, "Please rest assured, Imperial Physician Ming, a doctor saves lives and helps the wounded. Susu would never take such matters lightly."

With these words, Imperial Physician Ming couldn’t help but slightly raise his eyebrows.

His impression of Bai Susu improved quite a bit.

It seems the granddaughter of Pri Minister Bai is indeed serious.

Nodding his head, he said, "Good, then starting today, I will co every day to teach you. However, how much you can learn depends on yourself."

"Of course." Bai Susu promptly replied.

Then she said to Imperial Physician Ming, "Mr. Ming, please co inside."

...

Although Imperial Physician Ming is quite elderly, Bai Susu’s boudoir certainly cannot be entered at will, so she led him to another vacant room in the courtyard.

Soon, Chuntao and Nuansia brought in tea and refreshnts.

After Bai Susu served a cup of hot tea to Imperial Physician Ming, he nodded and sat down.

Then, taking a sip of tea, he asked Bai Susu, "Since you wish to study dicine, you must have read so dical books?"

"Yes." Bai Susu nodded.

"Which dical books have you read so far?" Imperial Physician Ming casually asked.

"Oh, not many, just under thirty books?" Bai Susu replied.

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Ming slightly nodded, presuming Bai Susu had read only the most common dical books available everywhere.

Although she might not have learned much from them, it is better than nothing!

It’s better than teaching soone starting from scratch without any knowledge.

After a mont of contemplation, Imperial Physician Ming said, "Specifically, which dical books? This way, I can know how to proceed in teaching you."

Let’s assess her level first.

Bai Susu earnestly nodded and then said, "I’ve read ’Compendium of Chinese dicine’, ’Treatise on Materia dica’, ’Treatise on Cold Damage’, ’Treatise on Epidemics’, ’Compendium of Herbs’, ’Great Authority on Formulas’, ’Acupuncture’, ’Inner Canon’, ’Synopsis of Golden Chamber’, ’Shen Nong’s Materia dica’, ’Treatise on Drug Properties’..."

Before she finished speaking, Imperial Physician Ming spat out a mouthful of tea.

Bai Susu was startled.

"Mr. Ming, what happened? Did the tea burn you?"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Ming quickly waved his hand and put down the teacup.

"You’ve even read ’Treatise on Epidemics’ and ’Shen Nong’s Materia dica’? Where did you get these books?" Imperial Physician Ming stared at Bai Susu.

It’s important to know that even Pri Minister Bai might not have easy access to these books.

Several of the books she ntioned could only be accessed within the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing this, Bai Susu was sowhat embarrassed and said, "The Crown Prince noticed my interest in dical books and gave them to to read."

"Oh, you’ve read all of them? Rembered them?" Imperial Physician Ming pressed further.

Bai Susu nodded, "I am sowhat gifted with an eidetic mory, retaining what I’ve read, although many things are only partially understood."

Imperial Physician Ming’s eyes widened again.

"You... have eidetic mory?" Imperial Physician Ming’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Bai Susu humbly nodded slightly.

"Then let test you; can you tell the characteristics and effects of Rehmannia?" Imperial Physician Ming squinted and asked.

Bai Susu heard and said unhurriedly, "Rehmannia has cool properties, sweet and bitter flavors, and is effective in nourishing yin and kidneys, enriching blood, cooling blood. Depending on processing thods, the dicinal effects vary."

"Fresh Rehmannia clears heat and generates fluids, cools blood, stops bleeding, and can be used for heat illnesses damaging yin... Raw Rehmannia clears heat, cools blood, nourishes yin and generates fluids... Processed Rehmannia enriches yin and blood, benefits essence and replenishes marrow..." Bai Susu recited the contents she had read.

Imperial Physician Ming couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction, then asked her several more complex questions, all from the books she had read.

Bai Susu answered them one by one.

Gradually, the look in Imperial Physician Ming’s eyes grew brighter as he watched her.

This little girl... previously thought she was just a woman only familiar with idle poems and songs.

Unexpectedly, she possesses such talent in dicine!

For a mont, Imperial Physician Ming couldn’t help but develop a fondness for this talent, and asked in a very gentle tone, "It seems you’ve indeed rembered everything, now can you tell the areas you don’t understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu excitedly asked a host of questions that were on her mind.

She is naturally intelligent, but many topics have been out of reach, preventing her from comprehending them fully, hence getting stuck.

However, with Imperial Physician Ming’s explanations, she imdiately understood, even drawing parallels and expanding her understanding.

With about a dozen questions answered, the look in Imperial Physician Ming’s eyes grew even brighter.

At the sa ti, he felt sowhat regretful.

Such a gifted seedling... if only she weren’t a girl?

Otherwise, he would certainly take her as his disciple!

...

Bai Susu did not know what Imperial Physician Ming was thinking at that mont.

Even if she knew, she wouldn’t mind.

After all, even in modern society, n underestimate won’s strength, let alone in ancient tis when n were dominant.

To her, Imperial Physician Ming was akin to a ntor.

If he was willing to teach her freely, that would be wonderful.

If not, it didn’t matter, as anything learned was profit.

The master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on yourself.

Once she gains experience, so things will automatically beco clear without teaching.

And after an afternoon, most of Bai Susu’s confusion had been resolved.

Looking at the ti, she said to Imperial Physician Ming, "It’s getting late; if you don’t mind, how about dining at the manor? Grandfather has a bottle of carved wine saved up, you can have a taste."

Initially, upon hearing her offer, Imperial Physician Ming was going to refuse.

But upon the ntion of "carved wine," his intended polite refusal instantly turned into, "Sure, I’d be delighted."

He is an old wine aficionado.

Obviously, Pri Minister Bai is no better.

So the carved wine cherished by this old fellow must surely be exceptional!

Not drinking would be a waste!

...

Seeing that Imperial Physician Ming agreed, Bai Susu smiled slightly, "Grandfather should have returned from the cabinet by now, why don’t you first et him in the main hall?"

"Good." Imperial Physician Ming nodded.

Then he was led away by a servant.
