But in fact, it was delayed for a while, and they had to go to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday early in the morning, so they only saw the things presented by the palace people when they returned to the palace.
They were short on time and really curious, and their brothers and sisters who also lived in the palace came to look for them, so they brought the box here.
Princess Changyu pulled Man Bao into the house, everyone had seen it at the queen's place, so she was not too polite, and just raised her hand to say hello.
But it was the first time for Bai Shan and the others to enter the palace, everyone couldn't help being curious.
Man Bao introduced them, "This is my second junior brother, this is my third junior brother, and this is my friend Yin He."
Then introduce the princes and princesses, of course the most important ones are Mingda and Princess Changyu who have played well with her.
The princes and princesses ignored Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and mainly stared at Yin Ru.
As for Yin He, although they had never seen him before, they had heard of his name. Changyu looked him up and down unceremoniously, and asked, "Didn't you say that Mr. Yin is not in good health? It doesn't matter if you look at him now." Also okay."
Yin Ju bowed and saluted, and then replied: "Thanks to the wonderful hands of the little genius doctor, my body is much better."
Chang Yu nodded and said: "Little Doctor Zhou's medical skills are really good, and Empress Mother's complexion looks much better these days."
Sitting in the middle, Ming Da nodded approvingly, waved to Man Bao, and said softly, "Man Bao, come quickly and see what these are?"
Man Bao went up to look, picked up one and said, "Isn't this a centipede?"
She stretched the bamboo centipede to let its joints protrude, and said with a smile: "Look, the joints like this are called centipedes, and those that are blocked can also be used as medicinal materials."
The fifth and sixth princes, who were about the same age as them, backed away in fright. Seeing that the sisters were enjoying themselves, they couldn't help blocking their eyes with their sleeves, "You guys like playing with bugs."
Chang Yu took the bamboo centipede and put it on their faces for them to see, he laughed happily while being frightened: "You are so timid, even afraid of fake ones."
Both the fifth prince and the sixth prince felt that they were different from them, so they fled out of the room one after another, but they refused to go far. They just stood at the door and shouted to Man Bao, "Can't you bring some good things into the palace?"
Man Bao said: "I think this is very good."
"Where is it? By the way, is the wooden sword you brought big and beautifully carved?" the Fifth Prince asked, "It would be better if you could buy me a bigger one."
Man Bao shook his head directly, "No."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at her together.
Seeing their expressions, the sixth prince immediately pointed at Man Bao and said, "Okay, you lied to us."
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said: "She really didn't lie to you, there are no such good wooden swords on the street, after all, it's only about ten Wen, how good can it be?"
"But you can make it to order," Bai Shan said, "but it's very troublesome."
The fifth prince immediately said: "What are you afraid of trouble? The last thing we fear is trouble. How can we make it custom?"
Bai Shan asked, "What do you want to make?"
Some of the servants of their family who came to Beijing were good at carpentry, and they often made things for them on weekdays. As for the toys, they also made them, especially the wooden swords, which they had played with before they went to study in Yizhou City.
Now all the toys they play with are leftovers from their play.
Seeing that Chang Yu had returned to the table, the fifth and sixth princes no longer cared about them, so they poked their heads in and quietly inserted one of their legs. Seeing that she still didn't respond, they immediately stepped forward cheerfully and grabbed Bai Bai. Shan, "Go, let's talk aside."
Since it is to be made to order, the scabbard, blade and hilt must be according to their wishes. Bai Shan taught them how to design their own swords.
The fifth and sixth princes only wanted a sword at first, but they were a little stunned when they saw that Bai Shan picked up a brush and brushed out a particularly beautiful wooden sword on the paper.
"Can cloud patterns be engraved on this?"
Bai Shan nodded: "Of course."
The fifth prince rolled his eyes and asked, "Can you engrave Taotie?"
After a pause, Bai Shan asked: "It is possible, but why do you want to engrave Taotie on the sword?"
The fifth prince said confidently: "I like it!"
Bai Erlang imagined the appearance of the hilt for a while, couldn't help bursting into laughter, and asked, "Can you still hold the sword after engraving Taotie?"
"Then I won't engrave it on the hilt, I will engrave it on the body of the sword."
Bai Shan handed him the pen, "Can you draw? Draw it and see."
The Fifth Prince stared at the pen handed to him, and asked, "Why should I draw?"
"My carpenter said that as long as I can draw anything, he can basically make it, so you have to draw it first."
The fifth prince took the brush, with a troubled expression on his face, "I don't know how to do it, why don't you go to the third brother for help?"
The sixth prince said: "Third brother won't help you draw this kind of thing, he is busy right now, go to the East Palace, let eldest brother's family help you draw."
The Fifth Prince nodded, "It makes sense."
After hearing this, Changyu ran over and said, "It's just a sword, it's not just a matter of brushing a few strokes, but I also ran to the East Palace, and met the third brother in a while, and asked the third brother to help draw."
The Fifth Prince looked at her, "You speak?"
Chang Yu said: "I speak as I speak."
The fifth and sixth princes became happy.
Mingda looked at it, and said softly: "But after drawing the sword body, you need to draw the hilt and the scabbard. You must have more requirements. Today is the birthday of the emperor's grandmother. I am afraid that the third brother will not have time. I should write it down first. When we have time to look back, we’ll go to Big Brother’s place and ask someone to paint.”
The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince felt that what Ming Da said was also very reasonable, and they immediately discussed their scabbard design.
Changyu didn't care about this anymore, turned around and continued to look at other toys in the box.
Man Bao and Bai Shan were separated by many people, their eyes met in the air, and then they diverged.
Ming Da grabbed Man Bao's little hand and said, "I'll take the last seat in a while, can you sit with me?"
She glanced at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and said with a smile, "Let your juniors join us."
Man Bao naturally nodded happily.
When the time came, the palace people came to invite the princes and princesses to the table.
Their positions are separated from the family members of the officials below, and slightly above them.
Mingda was the youngest, although she was the first daughter, she insisted on sitting at the bottom, and no one said anything.
Chang Yu took a look, and simply chose the seat above her, let Man Bao sit between them, and Bai Shan and the other three sat behind.
The steward in charge of the palace banquet saw them, glanced at them, and immediately added low tables and seats to them, and then asked his subordinates in a low voice, "Who are those three boys following the little princess?"
The subordinates went down for a while, and immediately came back to report, "One is the young gentleman of the Yin family, and the other two are the posts from the empress, the younger brother of Doctor Zhou."
The steward nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Let someone take care of you, and you don't have to be too restrained, as long as you don't make a big mistake."
This is the meaning of preferential treatment, the palace man agreed and remembered it in his heart.
