The Empress said, "How can that be learned so easily?"
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I inquired, and Manbao started studying medicine at around six or seven years old. It has been only six or seven years since then. However, she learned to read early and is quite intelligent, so she is indeed faster than most. I don't expect all female physicians to be as skilled as her; it suffices for them to be able to treat most common ailments."
"I want the medical women in the palace to learn some medical techniques from her. Most of them already have some foundation; at the very least, they've memorized the names of commonly used medicinal herbs, so learning should be easier for them."
The Emperor asked curiously, "Zitong, why did you suddenly think of this?"
The Empress smiled and said, "It's because of Zhou Man and Ms.Doctor Liu."
