"It's best to drink plain water. Put the boiled water aside, it's so comfortable to drink warm, and the water is tasteless."
The princess was thoughtful, "Is there no colorless and odorless poison in this world?"
"Anyway, I know, no." Man Bao said: "As far as I know, poisons in this world are both colored and smelly, and both will always account for the same. Like that poisonous stone, does it smell like me?" I don’t know, but there must be lust.”
Prince: ...
At this moment, he couldn't sleep at all, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. After going through these two sets of stitches, he got up and drove Man Bao away.
Man Bao hummed twice, turned and left.
The palace loaded her with the flowers and grass that she and Mingda had dug up today, after all, they were given to her by the princess, and even if they passed the bright road with the emperor, the palace still wouldn't keep them.
What's more, Zhou Man can barely be regarded as a celebrity in the palace now.
Man Bao happily moved all these things home, and then sorted them out in the garden. If there were any surplus plants, he dug up several plants and collected one plant, and put the rest in a hole in the garden to plant.
When Mrs. Tang came, she had already collected everything that should be included, and she was very happy digging the hole.
Meng Shi led Mrs. Tang in and wanted to make tea for her. Man Bao was surprised, "Mrs. Tang, why are you here?"
Mrs. Tang looked at the pots of peony trees in the garden. Most of the flower branches on them had been cut off, and only a few flower buds that hadn't bloomed were still there.
But she can tell that the color and shape of the flower must be very good just by the flower bud.
Mrs. Tang stretched out her hand to touch the flower bone, it felt very good, and there was no abnormality at all.
She tilted her head to look at Man Bao, and said: "Looking at such a beautiful peony flower, how did it turn into that after a year?"
Man Bao stared slightly, and said in amazement: "Madam's news is so well-informed, you knew it not long after we came out of the palace?"
Mrs. Tang narrowed her eyes, "What palace? What does this have to do with the palace?"
Man Bao: "... Didn't you come here because you knew that the peonies in Princess Changyu's garden were crooked?"
Mrs. Tang: "..."
She gritted her teeth and said, "Last year in Yizhou, I bought white peonies, and you gave me a pot."
Man Bao: ...
Feeling guilty for a moment, she whispered: "It's a long way from Yizhou to the capital, why did you go all the way to bring Peony back?"
Mrs. Tang glanced at her, turned around and sat down in the pavilion.
Man Bao hurriedly cleaned his hands and sat down opposite Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Meng stepped back after making tea, and Mrs. Tang's maid also stood far away.
Man Bao courteously served the tea to Mrs. Tang, and said, "I specially set a low price for the white peonies sold in Yizhou City, and that's why."
Madam Tang frowned and asked, "Did you know that flower would grow like that?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I don't know what it will look like, but I know it will be difficult to maintain the look of the previous year."
Madam Tang couldn't help asking, "Who did you buy these flowers from?"
Man Bao said vaguely: "I bought it from a flower farmer. He likes to study all kinds of weird flowers and plants."
Mrs. Tang hesitated and said, "Then my orchid grass..."
"Your bluegrass is absolutely fine," Man Bao can pat his chest to assure, "If you are disabled, it must not be a problem with the flowers."
Mrs. Tang said angrily, "So it's my problem?"
Man Bao chuckled, pulled her sleeve carefully and said, "Madam Tang, can you not tell others about this?"
"If I don't tell you, don't others know about it?" Mrs. Tang said, "You mean, there are peonies like this in the palace. Let's see how long you can hide it."
She sighed and said, "Fortunately, you sold a lot of pots last year. It's okay if every pot is crooked. It's not surprising that there are a lot of things. If there are only one or two pots and they still appeared in the palace, you can buy them." Wait, then."
If someone with a heart wants to warn God or something, it will kill him.
When Manbao was selling, she didn't think so much. She said coyly: "At that time, I was only concerned with exploiting the Yizhou Palace and making money. I didn't think so much at all."
Mrs. Tang blinked, "Hit the Yizhou Prince's Mansion?"
When Man Bao mentioned it, she remembered that most of her things were indeed sold to the Yizhou Palace, and they were all at high prices...
Mrs. Tang's eyes fell on Man Bao, and she said meaningfully, "You are not bad."
But at this moment, Mrs. Tang had already thought of a countermeasure, but she looked at Man Bao and didn't say anything. She didn't say anything until the matter reached that point.
After talking about the most important thing, Mrs. Tang asked: "Do you still have famous peonies here? It's best to have a peony color that hasn't appeared before."
Man Bao asked: "You don't think they will change?"
"What do you dislike? You can give it to me at a lower price. Just let me show off. When I finish admiring the flowers, I can enjoy them on the hairpin for a day. Then I will shovel the flowers and burn them." Mrs. Tang asked after a pause. : "By the way, what should I do with the pot of peony in my house now? It can't be cut continuously, and it's not easy to shovel it to death. It's hard."
Man Bao is now interested in it, and immediately said: "Then you bring it here, and I'll see if I can kill it."
But Mrs. Tang glanced at the excited Man Bao, and felt that she didn't look like she was going to kill him at all.
So she said, "Forget it, I'll take care of it myself."
She also wondered what it would look like.
Man Bao was slightly disappointed.
The direction of mutation of peonies is completely different from that of chrysanthemums. Most of the chrysanthemums that the princess sent back to her died directly.
In fact, she also wanted to see what they would look like in the end, but she raised a pot now, and she would have to wait until next year to see the effect.
Mrs. Tang stood up and left, and told Man Bao on the way, "As long as no one asks, don't take the initiative to admit about Mudan."
She said: "Now Princess Yizhou probably won't remember that you sold those flowers."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, so she didn't say anything when she was in the palace today.
After sending Mrs. Tang away, Man Bao sat and waited for Bai Shan and the others to come back, but Bai Shan came back very late today, he and Bai Erlang rode back after dinner at home, and Daji followed them to escort them.
He tied the three horses in the stable, but Bai Shan and Bai Erlang ran to the backyard. Man Bao asked, "Why are you so late today?"
Bai Shan raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea first, then looked at her and said, "Do you know what happened in court today?"
Man Bao asked, "What happened?"
Bai Shan said word by word: "The crown prince and His Majesty have written a self-examination book."
But Man Bao said: "Isn't it normal for the prince to read self-examination books at this time?"
Although the Crown Princess' pregnancy was not made public, both the Crown Prince and the Empress knew about it, and now he has calmed down. What's so strange about knowing that he has made plans for the future
"Do you know what the prince wrote in the self-examination book?"
