The prince looked at the summer tea she handed over and remained silent.
Eunuch Wu reacted and immediately stepped forward to take it.
Man Bao also looked the prince up and down, took out a medicine bag from the medicine box and handed it to Eunuch Wu, and said with a smile: "This is a medicine bag for repelling mosquitoes. You can put it in your purse and put it on for the prince. Don't worry. It can be worn even close to the princess, it is very useful.”
Eunuch Wu also hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
After all the presents were sent out, Man Bao was very satisfied, he carried the medicine box and said with a smile: "Then I will go to Daming Palace to see the Crown Princess first."
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Man Bao nodded, and turned back to ask the prince, "Do you want me to take your pulse?"
The prince put down his pen, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand, "Come on."
Man Bao stepped forward to feel his pulse, and said affirmatively: "Your Highness is doing well, but you may be too tired today, pay more attention to rest, and go to bed earlier at night will be better."
Seeing that Man Bao didn't make a request after reading the pulse, and even picked up the medicine box and was about to leave, he looked at Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu received the prince's wink, immediately put away the two packs of medicine, smiled and sent Man Bao out, and sent him all the way out of Zhan Shi's mansion, and sent him to the corridor, "My lord Zhou, this place is far away from Xing'anmen. You are going to Daming Palace, how did you come here?"
Man Bao said: "I will leave the imperial city today and enter through the main gate."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Eunuch Wu looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he asked in a low voice: "Little Doctor Zhou, if you have anything to say to His Highness, you have a good relationship with His Highness, is Your Highness okay?" Will be stingy with helping."
Man Bao reacted, and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't need His Highness's help, and I sincerely gave the medicine package to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Eunuch Wu was also a little skeptical, mainly because Man Bao was never a courteous person for nothing, he hesitated for a moment, and asked plainly, "Did something happen to you when you hurried out of the palace yesterday?"
Man Bao: "...it's okay, just go to the household department to file and receive salary."
"Really?" Eunuch Wu couldn't understand why he was in a hurry, so he started running in the East Palace.
Regardless of whether Mr. Wu believes it or not, this is the truth anyway.
Man Bao also knew that her behavior today made the prince and Eunuch Wu think about it, so he couldn't help but sighed and said, "I really care about the prince sincerely."
Eunuch Wu just watched Man Bao leave sadly.
Eunuch Wu thought about it, and began to doubt himself, did he misunderstand Doctor Zhou
In fact, Mrs. Zhou Xiaoda is quite good.
But the medicine bag, giving it to him, or even giving it to others is like her usual time, but giving it to the prince...
No matter how you think about it, it's a little strange.
Although Zhou Man didn't show it very clearly, she was on good terms with the crown prince and concubine on weekdays, but everyone felt that she would give things to the crown princess, the servants and maids in the palace, but she would not give things to the prince, and, emperor.
As for why, everyone hasn't figured it out yet, anyway, that's the understanding.
Eunuch Wu did not complete the task assigned by the crown prince, so he could only cautiously return to the public room, and whispered to the crown prince, "Little doctor Zhou said that she was worried about your heat stroke and sincerely cared about you, that's why she specially gave you something."
The prince asked, "Did the princess give her a big gift yesterday?"
Eunuch Wu shook his head and whispered, "I've never heard of it."
That is no more.
The prince glanced at the medicine bag that Eunuch Wu put away, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, she won't say it now, she will always say it later, you should use the things first."
"yes."
And Man Bao, who had already got into the palace carriage and left the palace, was letting the coachman slow down and pass by the household department's warehouse.
It would take a long way, but the servant driving her this time happened to be Rong Si Gonggong, who took Man Baolai to the East Palace to see a doctor for the prince.
After Manbao overturned his car last time, he was considered a blessing in disguise. Although he lay on the bed for a long time, but because Manbao went to see his injuries every now and then, and also gave him bone setting and medicine, Eunuch Wu simply put him as a servant in the East Palace. , did not throw him to the epidemic prevention station to fend for himself.
After he recovered from his injury, he stayed in the East Palace. Although he also did errands, his grade was improved by one level, and his life was much better than before.
So Man Bao said he wanted to go to the warehouse of the household department, so he turned around. Anyway, Mr. Zhou came out early today, and if he walked faster, he would not be late.
Far away, when there was still some distance from the warehouse of the household department, Manbao opened the curtain and lay down on the car window to look forward.
I saw a lot of people queuing up at the station, and some officials were calling their names loudly, "The counselor Zhang Zhengda came forward, the family of Zhou Man, the editor of the Chongwen Museum and the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, stepped forward..."
At this moment, Zhou Man knew what to do without having to tell Fourth Eunuch Rong to do it. He slowly stopped the carriage and let Man Bao watch from a distance.
He lowered his voice and said to Man Bao: "Master Zhou, we can't go forward. If the palace knows that we have a private opinion with outsiders, they will be charged. Even if the crime is not serious, it is not good to be punished."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "I know, so I just watched from a distance."
Man Bao leaned over the window and looked over there. There were a lot of people coming and going here, and there were also a lot of parked carriages, so Man Bao's carriage was not eye-catching at all.
However, some people saw that Rong Si was a servant, and they would still look at the carriage curiously.
Wu Wulang, who was standing in front of the door, didn't know that Man Bao was watching from afar, and immediately took Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liwei in after hearing the announcement.
After all, it was the first time in his life to receive a salary from the palace, and Wu Wulang was still a little timid, so he also encouraged Zhou Liwei to be brave.
The three of them entered, and the clerk of the household department checked the posts on both sides and the seals on it, and then gave them a note, confirming again: "Fifth-rank compilation and sixth-rank imperial physician?"
Before coming, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng explained to them that as long as Man Bao's official product is confirmed to be correct, it should be, so the three of them nodded together.
The clerk looked up at them and saw that there was another girl there, so he looked at her more curiously, but no one said that girls from officials' families were not allowed to receive their salary.
There are all sorts of situations in the back houses of officials in the capital. Some are servants who come to receive salaries, some are wives and children, and of course, there are also daughters who come to receive salaries.
Anyway, as long as the post and seal are correct, and it is indeed the family member of the official.
The clerk asked while taking notes: "Who are you Zhou Man?"
Wu Wulang immediately said: "I am Zhou Man's fifth brother, and these are Zhou Man's nephew and niece."
He emphasized: "It's all dear!"
Clerk: "... I didn't say you were fake."
He flipped through their books, confirmed their identities, and then stamped the note, saying: "Okay, take the note and go to the side to get the salary."
