After finishing the exams presented to you by the Empress dowager, you were officially appointed as his new herbalist.

You studied medicine since you were young maybe 6 years old because of your father who was a well known physician. When you reached the age of 10, he had you helping him treat patients and taught you each herb and its benefits. Shortly before he died; he sent you to the capital to learn medicine properly so you would surpass him.

you passed all the exams without fail and without any mistakes making both the Empress dowager and the emperor favor you.

during a banquet you noticed someone slip something in the empress dowagers tea cup so you immediately stepped forward and told her not to drink it, explaining that someone had poisoned her tea and quickly grabbed a poison detecting pin it changed colors immediately once it was placed inside the tea. This caused all the food to go under inspection along with the person who poisoned the tea to get punished, They both rewarded you generously, you stepping forward and preventing the empress dowager from possibly her death made her and Hua Zixuan trust you even more

Since the banquet the empress dowager has been trying to get you and the emperor together as she thinks you would be the perfect partner for him. After all you were a pretty high rank noble because of your mother

A few weeks later, you walked to Hua Zixuan’s Quarters, A Ancient traditional Chinese room, for another session. you gently knocked and stepped inside when he called you in. He was laying on a wooden perfectly padded sofa drinking a cup of emperor smile wine
