Mingda returned to his seat and sat down, but the King of Yizhou chuckled and said to the queen mother: "The queen mother doesn't know, I think this little lady looks very familiar, didn't the little genius doctor who was rumored outside come to the palace to ask for the pulse of the queen's sister-in-law?" ? I have seen her from a distance, and she seems to look like this."
The Queen Mother said "Oh?" and turned to look at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man took a look at Ming Da, immediately stood up and knelt down, kowtowed his head, straightened up and smiled sweetly: "Reporting to Madam, the little girl Zhou Man did go to the palace to see a doctor for the queen."
The King of Yizhou laughed and said: "Mingda is really filial, and even specially invited the doctor of the emperor's wife to sit with him at the birthday banquet."
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded.
When Mingda heard it, he got up and knelt beside Manbao, and said quickly: "Grandmother, there are few girls my age in the palace. I saw her when I went to visit the queen mother in Lizheng Hall, and we got along very well. The one who invited her to sit with her because she was a confidant and friend, did not treat her preferentially because she is the queen mother's doctor."
Ming Da paused and then said: "If you want to see the doctor for the mother, isn't the most important thing is Xiao Yuanzheng from the Tai Hospital?"
The emperor smiled and nodded again and again, "Yes, Xiao Yuan is doing a great job in treating the queen. I see that the queen's condition has improved a lot in the past few days. I should reward you. Come and send a table of noodles to the imperial hospital. Let me say that I reward Xiao Yuan." Exactly."
The emperor paused and smiled again: "Mother, I remember that Xiao Yuanzheng's old mother is over seventy this year, and she is also a long-lived person, why don't you give her a bowl of longevity noodles?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "It should be, she is old, and she didn't come into the palace today, but I should invite her into the palace to talk about this way of keeping in good health. Come here, give Xiao Yuanzheng sent a bowl of Longevity Noodles to the family, as well as things like longevity peaches, so pick up some more."
After Xiao Yuanzheng finished talking, the emperor waved to Mingda, Mingda got up immediately, trotted forward with his skirt, and sat beside his father.
The emperor stroked her hair with his hand, laughed and said, "I know that you and Zhou Man have a good friendship and are filial, but your health is the best filial piety to your parents. You are weak and don't sit for long periods of time. After a while, you Just lead Zhou Man to play in the garden, and no drinking is allowed, you know?"
The emperor turned his head to look at the queen mother after the instructions were finished, and asked with a smile, "The queen mother watched the singing and dancing, and also went with them? Let Zhou Man give you a pulse for peace, she and Mingda play together, it will be cheaper for our family these patients."
The queen mother laughed angrily and said: "It's all nonsense, our family is healthy, how can there be any sickness? But it's good to ask for a pulse."
Only then did she look at Zhou Man who was still kneeling with her head down, raised her hand slightly and said, "Okay, kid, get up quickly, my granddaughter has been weak since she was a child, look back, what is wrong with her, you More reminders."
Man Bao responded and stood up.
She raised her head slightly to look upwards, and met Mingda's eyes, and the two of them blinked secretly, extremely playful.
The emperor was so nice to see, he smiled helplessly, patted Mingda's hand, and asked her to go down and sit in her seat.
Seeing that Man Bao sat back beside Ming Da, Bai Shan heaved a sigh of relief. As a result, he hadn't finished breathing yet, the Fifth Prince who was sitting in front of him stood up directly, grabbed him and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Mingda has friends, and I also have friends to celebrate your birthday."
The queen mother just said "Oh", and the emperor cut off his words: "Fifth, don't mess around, the banquet is about to begin."
"Open it as soon as it's open, and I'm not allowed to serve food, grandma, you should also take a look at my friend."
The queen mother also liked the grandson of the fifth prince, so she cast a reproachful look at the emperor and said, "That's right, you let them have a banquet, and I talk to the children, why are you yelling at them?"
The emperor glanced at Bai Shan who was held by the fifth child, smiled, ignored them, and turned around to let Gu Zhong order the banquet.
Gu Zhong responded with a smile, took a breath and shouted loudly to start the banquet.
Then the musicians in the palace began to play, and the dancers also entered the center of the hall in a file, and began to dance to the music.
The palace people waiting outside began to enter in an orderly manner with plates, serving the emperor and queen mother first, then the queen, and then to the crown prince and Yizhou king...
A pair of bowls, chopsticks and cups were placed in front of Man Bao, and the lids of the dishes that were served were taken away. Not at all eating.
She stared at the Fifth Prince and Bai Shan opposite.
Bai Shan shook his head slightly at her, and she sat in her seat, but her back was straight.
The fifth prince pulled Bai Shan out and stood under the hall for the Queen Mother to see, and asked with a smile, "Grandmother, what do you think of my friend?"
The queen mother squinted her eyes and saw that the two were about the same size, so she smiled and said, "You are prettier than you."
The fifth prince pouted, and turned his head to take a closer look at Bai Shan. Seeing that he lowered his head slightly, he leaned down and took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "The imperial grandmother lied to me, how is she prettier than me? But it looks like Cousin Yang."
The emperor was drinking, and almost spit out a sip of wine.
The Queen Mother also laughed loudly, and said happily, "Where is Yang Houye, come and see if your nephew looks like your son?"
Bai Shan couldn't turn his head to look down, but Man Bao turned his head to look down aboveboard, and saw a person sitting on the table cupping his hands and laughing: "My nephew looks like an uncle, and the fifth prince said that he looks like Changbo, so it probably has some resemblance." .”
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You, you, you are as shameless as Xiao Wu, Chang Bo looks like his mother, what does it have to do with you?"
She looked at Bai Shan seriously, nodded and said: "This child is really good-looking, which family's child is it?"
Bai Shan bowed and replied: "The boy comes from the Bai family in Longzhou."
"Longzhou?" The Empress Dowager smiled after thinking about it seriously, "That's a good place, who is Bai Jing in Longzhou?"
Bai Shan said: "It's my uncle."
"Oh," the queen mother nodded with a smile, "then where are your father and grandparents now?"
The fifth prince interjected: "Grandmother, his father and grandparents were all court heroes. He was enrolled by Enyin this time, and he passed the Guozixue exam by himself."
The queen mother was slightly stunned and nodded again and again, praising: "Study well, study hard, and serve the court like your father and grandfather in the future, Xiao Wu, you should study hard with your friends."
The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "So Grandmother, my friends can sit with me at the banquet, right?"
He turned around and pointed at Bai Cheng and Yin He and said, "They are also from the Imperial College, and they are both my friends."
The queen mother glanced at the king of Yizhou, nodded helplessly to the fifth prince and said: "That is your friend, you have the final say, but you can play as you like, and you are not allowed to mess around."
"Don't worry, Grandmother, I won't mess around again."
The emperor swallowed the wine, and finally he didn't choke and lose face. He put down the glass, looked at the fifth child, and said with a smile: "Listen to you, your friend is very good, what book have you read now?" ?”
