Chapter 784 - Bullying the Emperor (2/2)
-
Once on the throne, Ji Cheng glanced at the people who were bowing to him and said, ” At ease.”
Upon hearing his command, everyone stood up and greeted the royal family with courtesy. The royal twins were sitting on the small-royal chairs on each side of Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng.
After the greetings were exchanged, the performances started. The dancers took over the stage and showed their elegant moves on the rhythm of the traditional music. Zhao Ming's lips curled up in a pleased smile as she can't help but wonder since when she started to like such things.
” Aren't you being too obvious with your glare? Everyone will think that you're bullying the Emperor.” He teases her while nudging her elbow, making her grumpy, but internally only she knows how much she was struggling to hold her laughter.
Bullying the Emperor. Haha, she loves to do that.

After the performance ended and people presented their gifts and loyalty to the royal twins, Ji Cheng turned to everyone and said, ” Before moving to the dining hall, I have something to announce.” He looked at everyone with all seriousness, which turned the atmosphere to become serious and everyone looked at him curiously.
” In the presence of all the nobles and aristocrats, I, the Emperor of Ji Dynasty, wants to announce the establishment of a new institution. An institution where the children who are interested in medicine will be taught and directed by the Masters of the medicine who has served the palace and the country with their impeccable medicinal skill.”
Ji Cheng's words caused chaos in the banquet hall with his sudden announcement. Medical institution? There was no such institution to learn medicine and if someone is interested, they have to find a master for themselves, and then only they can learn about medicine. Because of this, there are a handful of people who decide to learn medicine as their occupation.
Zhao Ming turned to him in wonder and nudged him and whispered, ” What is it? You didn't say anything to me earlier.”
She was confused since he always discusses to her before making any important policy or announcement if it is about the country or the palace unless it's something related to the military or confidential that is out of her field of work.
He smiled and turned to face everyone and said with a loud voice enough to be heard by everyone, ” Just as how we have schools for children who want to learn, I want to establish a school for medicine, where children who are interested in medicine can learn from the Masters and become well-trained doctors who will serve the country in the future.”
Everyone was stunned by his thoughts and realized how no one thought of this idea which can help to increase everyone's interest in medicine and will provide more well-trained doctors in the future.
” The medical school will be headed by Master Li who has served as the Imperial physician in the reign of Late Emperor and His wife Shen Jia who has been taking care of the imperial family in these past years will also work with him to look over the work of the institution. ” At his words, Master Li who was standing with Shen Jia with Jia shi was overwhelmed by his recognition and bowed to him gratefully.
” Your Majesty, we will do our best to teach the future of the Ji Dynasty and pass on the skills that we have and build the strong foundation of medicine for the better future.” Master Li said, earning well-deserving applause from everyone.
After roaming in the mountains for a long time, he found out about the war that broke out and it took him weeks to reach the palace and by that time, Ji Cheng had already returned from the war after restoring the peace. However, he was overwhelmed that Shen Jia, who was missing earlier, was already at the palace and had returned and was taking care of Zhao Ming.
If he had known that she is at the palace, he would not have wasted his time in the mountains in search of her and have come over to his wife already.
