The White-haired Queen

However, all preparations are still being carried out in an orderly manner and cannot be delayed. Wen Lanyue knows that time is tight and the task is arduous, but she also understands that this matter is of great importance and needs to be considered in the long run. Therefore, she decided to bury this idea deep in her heart and wait for an appropriate time to listen to the Queen Mother's opinion.

After all, to ensure the smooth operation and maximum benefits of the medicinal material base, in addition to finding the right manager, many other factors need to be taken into consideration. Wen Lanyue secretly made up her mind to do a good job of research and planning to ensure that every link is foolproof. Only in this way can she truly realize the grand blueprint in her mind - to build a modern medicinal material base that integrates medicinal value, economic benefits and social welfare!

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Cixi stepped in and said with a smile on her face, "Sister, I always feel that you are missing me right now!" Wen Lanyue smiled slightly and responded, "That's right, Imperial Doctor Zhang suggested that you be responsible for the management and operation of the medicinal materials base. Look, I am thinking of you, sister."

The Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said, "Seeing that you are so dedicated to arranging affairs for everyone in the harem so that everyone can perform their duties, I can't help but be moved. So I proposed to Doctor Zhang that I hope to have the opportunity to participate in some medical-related affairs."

After hearing this, Wen Lanyue smiled with relief and said, "Since this is your wish, it couldn't be better. I was worried that you would be reluctant to take over this matter."

Wen Lanyue nodded with satisfaction, and then said to everyone: "In addition to establishing a medicinal material base, we must also strengthen the quality supervision of medicinal materials. Make sure that every medicinal material is of high quality and put an end to the phenomenon of passing inferior products off as good ones."

She swept her eyes across the room with determination, "Only in this way can we provide high-quality medical services to the people and truly save the dying and heal the wounded." The imperial doctors responded one after another, saying that they would strictly control the quality of the medicinal materials.

Wen Lanyue finally made a comprehensive and profound summary and said: "I have explained all the relevant matters very clearly. If anyone is willing to join the medical school, they can go to Doctor Qi to register. Once they pass the corresponding assessment procedures, they can officially take up their posts and take on the responsibility of teaching in various disciplines. In addition, the medicinal material base in the capital will be jointly managed and operated by Imperial Physician Wang and the Queen Mother. It is expected that the preparation and construction work of the entire medical school will last about four to five months, and the enrollment plan for medical students will be officially launched in September of next year. Those imperial physicians who are qualified for appointment need to compile teaching materials within the scope of their respective disciplines, but whether these teaching materials can be actually used in the end depends on the specific situation."

Wen Lanyue glanced at everyone present with a sharp gaze, and said in a steady tone: "If you have any opinions or doubts, please feel free to speak frankly to me. If you have nothing else to say, please go back and prepare for the matter."

After the imperial doctors left one after another, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Wen Lanyue with a full of apology: "Sister, I am powerless in this matter. I really feel guilty towards you. It is really hard for you."

Wen Lanyue smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Sister, you are too kind. This is my job, so why should I worry about it?"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then instructed: "Even though you are busy with official duties, you still need to take good care of yourself."

Wen Lanyue responded: "Thank you for your concern, sister. When Heng'er grows up and can shoulder the heavy responsibility on his own, everything will go much more smoothly."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt a sore nose and red eyes, and said with a trembling voice: "Thanks to my sister for taking care of everything, I am very grateful."

Wen Lanyue smiled slightly and said softly: "Sister, you came here today, is there any other important matter?" Her eyes were gentle and firm, as if she had seen through what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

The Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Seeing how hard my sister works, I really shouldn't come to disturb her." There was a hint of guilt in her words.

Wen Lanyue waved her hands quickly and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about? Just tell me what you want to say."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said slowly, "Since the flood disaster, Heng'er has been busy with government affairs all day long and has even skipped the time to pay respects. Now, I have come across a troubling matter and have to ask my sister for advice."

Wen Lanyue nodded, indicating that she was willing to listen.

The Empress Dowager continued, "Sister, I'm sure you know that I never interfere in government affairs, fearing that I might not handle them properly. But Princess Qinghe of Nanyue has sent me invitations to visit you for several days in a row. I have declined several times, but I received it again today. To be honest, I came here this time to ask you for your advice and teach me how to deal with it."

Wen Lanyue pondered for a moment, then replied: "In that case, sister might as well find out the purpose of Princess Qinghe's visit. If it's just an ordinary friendly exchange, it's fine; if there are other intentions, we need to be cautious." Her tone was steady and calm, which made people convinced.

At this moment, a palace maid named Bilian walked in and said softly, "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe of Nanyue has sent you a letter." As soon as she finished speaking, Bilian carefully handed the envelope in her hand to the Empress Dowager.

Wen Lanyue took the envelope in a hurry, opened it quickly, and read it carefully. It turned out that the letter was asking her for help in introduction. So she turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Sister, please take a look! Princess Qinghe hopes to get to know you through me, and expressed her desire to communicate and learn some matters related to farming technology."

The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly after hearing this, took the letter and took a closer look. Then she responded lightly: "Haha, I was worried that she had other intentions. But it's just to discuss the matter of growing flowers and plants, which is much simpler. After all, I have some experience in this matter." After saying this, the Empress Dowager Cixi showed a relaxed and happy smile on her face.

At this moment, Wen Lanyue suddenly recalled the letters sent from Black Water Mountain and Huoyan Mountain. They all seemed to be about Princess Qinghe's trip to the mountain. These letters seemed to have been forgotten in the corner by time, but now they reappeared in her mind. She tried hard to recall the details in the letters and tried to piece together a complete story.
