Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

As soon as Xuan Yi returned to the valley, he saw Doctor Feng squatting in front of a small stove, intently staring at the medicine pot, the liquid inside bubbling away. Xuan Yi felt a sense of respect for his focused expression and couldn't help but go up and ask him what was wrong.

Doctor Feng said without looking up, "These herbs are from my new prescription. They need to be decocted into a bowl of water before Your Highness can take it. Last time I noticed that Your Highness's pulse had changed slightly, but I couldn't figure out the exact reason."

Xuan Yi couldn't help but ask about the prince's condition. Doctor Feng said he wasn't sure either, but since the prince had drunk the medicinal food last time, he had noticed a slight change in the prince's pulse. Although it was only a minor change, it was a glimmer of hope for them.

"Could it be related to the medicinal cuisine? The master actually slept soundly that day, which was quite rare."

Doctor Feng shook his head. "I can't be sure about that. But drinking more medicinal soup won't hurt. The weather is cold now, and I'm afraid His Highness might not be able to withstand it. Drinking hot soup can also ward off the cold."

Xuan Yi asked Doctor Feng with renewed hope, "Is there no other way to treat Your Highness's heart ailment? If there is any way, please just give the order, and I will risk my life to find it for Your Highness."

Doctor Feng sighed softly, "How could I not know your loyalty? You're not the only one in this camp willing to risk your life for him. If there were a way, how could I not speak up!"

"But didn't you say you saw a solution recorded in some ancient book?" Xuan Yi asked anxiously.

"Leaving aside the fact that it's a rare book and its contents can no longer be verified, even if it could be proven useful, so what? The Dragon Saliva Grass, Seven-Star Flame, and Heavenly Snow Seed in that prescription have long been lost! Even one is hard to find, let alone a whole set. No one has ever even seen the Seven-Star Flame or Heavenly Snow Seed. How am I supposed to find them!" With that, the old man wiped his face with his sleeve, turned his head away from Xuan Yi, and...

"You brat, you made me lose focus and got smoke in my eyes. Get lost and don't bother me!"

Xuan Yi arrived at the tent with a dejected expression. He could imagine what the scene inside the curtain was like. His master would be reclining in a chair, holding a book in one hand and resting the other on the armrest. If one ignored his pale face, he would be an incomparably noble and privileged young master.

He rubbed his face vigorously, made a few expressions, put on a smile, and lifted the curtain to go inside.

"Your Highness, we have confirmed with Manager Yu that the first batch of hemostatic powder has been delivered. The pills for treating colds and coughs have also been sent. Manager Yu said that the pills are quite effective, saving us the trouble of drinking herbal medicine."

"Ah."

"By the way, Your Highness, guess who I ran into at the pharmacy? It was Miss Qiao and her mother. I heard that she's coming of age in a few days, and her mother came here specifically to buy her jewelry and make her new clothes." Xuan Yi squatted down to add charcoal to the brazier and set up a stand over the fire, where water was boiling in a kettle.

Tantai Zhou pulled the book back, saying, "I remember that a woman's coming-of-age ceremony requires the presence and support of someone of high status, right? Have Shen Qing find something nice in my private trunk as a coming-of-age gift. Consider it a way of thanking her for saving you."

Xuan Yi: "..." In the entire Nanling, who is more noble than you? Why are you bringing me up when you're going?

Do you know the exact date?

“The eighth day of the twelfth month.” Xuan Yi continued, “Master, this is not in accordance with etiquette. You are not familiar with Miss Qiao, and besides, you are a man, which will cause trouble for her. In addition, what identity do you have? It is not appropriate to reveal your identity now.”

"Let's have a banquet for her coming-of-age ceremony."

Xuan Yi: ...So you went there for the banquet.

"I will send a congratulatory gift when the time comes," Tantai Zhou said calmly.

“But your health…” Xuan Yi hesitated.

"You need not worry about my health. I know what I'm doing." Tantai Zhou glanced at Xuan Yi. "Go and make arrangements to ensure that the congratulatory gift is delivered on time." He then added, "Have Yu Deyou come over that day and tell everyone that I am his relative."

Xuan Yi nodded helplessly and left the tent.

Tantai Zhou put down his book and gazed thoughtfully at the charcoal fire. He thought of that Miss Qiao, and on this trip, he needed to verify some of his suspicions.

"I hope this gift will express my gratitude..." he murmured to himself.

For commoner girls, the coming-of-age ceremony is usually held on their fifteenth birthday.

The coming-of-age ceremony was also very grand, requiring the preparation of many items, such as hairpins, hair ornaments, flowers, and wine. During the ceremony, the girl needed to wear gorgeous clothes, put on hairpins and hair ornaments, and then have her hair combed, the hair ornaments inserted, and wine offered by her elders. The entire ceremony was very solemn, filled with blessings and expectations.

Qiao Jingjing didn't understand these things very well, so Lin Shi made the arrangements. The elders who combed her hair and put on hairpins were the village head's wife, who was of suitable age and status.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Pianpian, accompanied by an embroiderer and two assistants, arrived in Daba Village in a flurry of activity. Upon entering the village and inquiring about Qiao Jingjing's home, the villagers didn't immediately recognize her. It was only when Li Xianglan passed by that they remembered Da Ya's real name was Qiao Jingjing. She then led them to Lin Cuicui's new home.

With the whole family present, Qiao Wanjun took Xiao Shiming back to the house to try on clothes, while the women went to Qiao Jingjing's boudoir.

As soon as Feng Pianpian entered, she was drawn to the sofa and the two square and round cushions on it. Her businessman's instincts had inadvertently kicked in once again.

After looking at the sofa, I turned around and saw a complete set of bedding, and my eyes lit up.

"Hey Qiao, you're really good at hiding your ideas! Why don't you put all these great ideas to work and make some money?"

"Let's not talk about that now. Go change your clothes quickly. If anything doesn't fit, I'll bring an embroiderer to alter it for you on the spot. I'll make sure you have a grand and glorious first day of your life."

Qiao Jingjing smiled calmly, "Okay. Mother, could you please bring some fruit and snacks, and a cup of hot milk tea for everyone?"

After Qiao Jingjing changed her clothes, everyone's eyes lit up.

Feng Pianpian praised her highly, looking Qiao Jingjing up and down, "You really should dress up more. Look how beautiful you are."

Mrs. Lin was very satisfied. She stroked the hem of her daughter's clothes, her eyes full of love.

Qiao Jingjing walked to the mirror, looked at herself, and couldn't help but smile. She hadn't been going out much lately due to the cold weather, and her skin had become a bit pale. Feng Pianpian styled her hair into a girlish bun, half-up and half-down, with a white jade hairpin symmetrically inserted on each side of her head, echoing the lotus-root color of her hairpin dress, leaving everyone present momentarily stunned.

Normally, this girl wears coarse linen clothes and her hair is tied in a simple bun. She is thin and looks like a man. This outfit is a huge contrast.

Qiao Jingjing looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a completely different person. Clothes really do make the man. Suddenly, a poem came to mind:

The hair was loosely tied up.

Her makeup was applied lightly.

A light mist and wisps of smoke enveloped the scene.

Like drifting catkins and floating silk threads, their forms are ever-changing.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.

It turned out that the village children had all come to see what was going on when they heard that Qiao Jingjing was wearing new clothes today. Everyone knew that her aunt, Daya, was the best and always gave her delicious treats.

Then Lin came out of the house with a smile, "A bunch of little brats, take your candy and go play."

Each child received a piece of candy. Qiao Shilang, who was in the middle, cautiously looked at his aunt. Lin pretended not to see him, but she didn't go past him either. She put a piece of candy in his palm and then sent the group of children out to play.
