Chapter 137 Childhood Sweethearts

It was already late at night when the two returned to the palace.

Shen Li didn't even have time to take a shower and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I slept until noon the next day.

"Master, today is the day for the medical school's master exam. All the doctors who want to apply for the position will gather at our medical school at 9:00 PM today. You must pack up quickly and go for the exam!"

Qingluan said as she lifted the curtain and hung it up.

Shen Li slapped his forehead suddenly and shouted:

"Oh no! How could I almost forget such an important thing!"

After saying that, she jumped up from the bed like a nimble kitten.

After casually tidying his hair with his hands, he quickly straightened his clothes, washed up in a hurry, and after eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast, he could not wait to get on the carriage that had been waiting outside and rushed all the way to the medical school that he had just purchased.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling intertwined to form a rapid and rhythmic melody.

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally slowly stopped in front of the gate of the medical school.

Qingluan got off the carriage first.

Just as her toes touched the ground, suddenly, a strange yet familiar voice came from behind her.

"Qingluan, is that you?"

The voice was as gentle and soft as a spring breeze.

Qingluan was startled when she heard the call, and her body froze instantly.

After a brief silence, she slowly turned around.

What she saw was a gentleman with an elegant temperament and gentle as jade standing quietly not far from the carriage, looking straight at her.

The young man was wearing a light blue robe, the corners of which fluttered gently in the wind.

He is tall and straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind.

The sunlight fell on him, outlining a soft and charming outline, making people want to take a few more glances.

"You are……?"

Qingluan frowned, her mind busy thinking about who the man in front of her was.

"Pei Yanzhi, I'm Pei Yanzhi. Where's A Li? Didn't she come out with you?"

The boy's voice was as clear as water, and there was joy in his eyes.

Pei Yanzhi took a few steps towards Qingluan and turned his gaze towards the carriage door curtain.

Shen Li was about to get off the car when she heard the sound. She quickly pulled aside the bead curtain, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

"Ali...is it...you?"

The man was extremely happy, his pair of dark pupils emitting dazzling light in the warm sunlight.

But then I thought that this shouldn't be Shen Li. Shen Li had scars on his face, but this woman didn't.

This woman looks very similar to Shen Li, but her face...

Impossible! This must be impossible!

Back then, Shen Li looked for many famous doctors, but none of them could cure the scars on her face. He also traveled to many places before he learned that the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the extremely cold land might be able to cure it.

"Pei...Yan...Zhi..."

When Shen Li saw this familiar face, he quickly searched the original owner's memory in his mind, and only then did he learn that his name was Pei Yanzhi.

And I learned that the two were childhood sweethearts.

Pei Yanzhi was the concubine's son of the former Grand Tutor.

When they were young, the two often played together. He never disliked the ugly scars on Shen Li's face. Instead, he vowed to find a good medicine to heal the scars on her face.

However, when he was twelve years old, Pei Yanzhi's father retired and returned to his hometown, and he followed his father back to his hometown.

During this period, he did not go into politics, but into business.

He always remembered his original intention, which was to find medicine to treat the scars on Shen Li's face.

Therefore, he started a medicinal material business and accidentally learned that the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the extremely cold area can cure scars. He went to Tianshan alone and found the Tianshan Snow Lotus for Shen Li.

Today, his medicinal materials business is booming. This time he came to Beijing, he wanted to give the Tianshan Snow Lotus that he had found personally to Shen Li, so as to treat the scars on her face.

He listened to the woman in front of him calling his name, and then looked at Qingluan beside him.

Pei Yanzhi finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was Shen Li.

He had been leading a caravan to the north for many years, so naturally he didn't know that Shen Li's appearance had recovered and that he had already gotten married.

"Are you really A Li?"

Pei Yanzhi said in surprise.

"Is your face... okay?"

Shen Li nodded heavily.

She was very fond of this childhood friend.

Because of her appearance, she had few friends, but Pei Yanzhi never despised her ugliness and often went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play with her.

"Yes, my face is healed!"

Shen Li continued, "How are you doing in your hometown in Jiangnan? Are you married?"

"I haven't been in my hometown for a long time. I've been doing business abroad in recent years, most of the time in the north."

Speaking of marriage, Pei Yanzhi lowered his head and said, "Of course not."

Of course he wouldn't get married, he wanted to marry Shen Li.

"You're already old, why don't you get married and have children?" Shen Li joked.

Pei Yanzhi lowered his eyes to glance at the brocade box in his hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "I came back to the capital this time to propose marriage."

"Ah? The girl you like is from the capital? Whose family is she from? I've been in the capital all the time, so I can help you with some advice."

Shen Li spoke very naturally, and had no idea that the person Pei Yanzhi wanted to marry was her.

In her heart, she always regarded Pei Yanzhi as a friend, not a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Pei Yanzhi smiled.

He raised his hand and handed the brocade box to Shen Li.

"What?" Shen Li asked in surprise.

"This is for you. Open it and take a look."

"A gift for me?" Shen Li was a little surprised, then slowly opened the brocade box.

A piece of paraffin suddenly caught Shen Li's eye.

A pure white Tianshan snow lotus is frozen in the paraffin, looking lifelike.

"Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Shen Li exclaimed. "Where did you get it?"

This Tianshan Snow Lotus is obviously different from those sold on the market. Its petals are fuller than those, like a fairy isolated from the world, standing proudly on the top of the snow.

Pei Yanzhi rubbed the tip of his nose and blushed.

"I picked it from the ice and snow of the north. I heard that the Tianshan Snow Lotus that grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the north can remove the scars on your face, so I picked it and preserved it as a gift for you.

But, it’s useless now…”

Pei Yanzhi was happy that Shen Li's appearance had recovered, but at the same time he also felt a little sorry that the gift he gave was useless.

"Useless? Who said it's useless? It's of great use!" Shen Li held the Tianshan Snow Lotus that he had obtained unexpectedly, and looked left and right, up and down excitedly.

She had long planned to go to the ghost market to look for Tianshan snow lotus for use in medicine. However, the ghost market was only open in the early morning of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and Shen Li had been delayed for one thing or another for the past month or two.

Now, she suddenly got the baby she had been longing for, and she really couldn't let it go.

"Is it useful? Do you still need it now?"

When Pei Yanzhi saw Shen Li so happy, his eyes, which had just dimmed, instantly brightened up again.
