Envoys do not charge money to live in post houses, and it is not uncommon for envoys from some vassal states to stay in post houses for three to five years.
It doesn't cost money to live, but food, drink and clothing do cost money.
Especially for food, three meals are not included in the post house, you have to pay to eat and drink in the post house, or go out to eat.
Most of the people in Chang'an actually eat white noodles and white rice. In their country, even the nobles can't eat this for three meals a day.
They did not bring much money, mainly because the money was different, and silver was also very valuable in their country, so they did not bring much.
In the end, I sold some of the valuables I brought and exchanged them for some money. Recently, I have spent a lot on traveling.
If they don't enter the Guozijian, they may not be able to live in Chang'an, and they can only return to Korea with the courtesy of Dajin.
Then their mission is half a failure.
Unexpectedly, Bai Shan and the others seem to have very valuable identities, so I wonder if they can follow their path
When they were thinking, Man Bao and the others had already inspected and entered the palace. Daji and others watched them enter the palace and then turned around and rode home.
The three of Man Bao sent the things back to the bedroom, and she took the important documents and hugged them in her arms, then turned and went to Chongwen Hall to do some research.
After writing a few pages of medical books, he got up and went to the front to see three disciples getting acupuncture, and after giving some pointers, he went to see the princess, and then went back to have lunch with Bai Shan and the others, and after a short rest, he went to Chongwen Hall to revise his books.
It wasn't until the afternoon when she was hungry and tired that she took the booklet and her medicine box to find Prince Gong. After watching Prince Gong, she stopped by to find the emperor and gave him the booklet of apology.
The emperor didn't intend to see him at first, so he was about to send him away after the book was accepted, but when he remembered something, he asked the servant to call back Man Bao who had already walked down the steps.
Man Bao turned around and entered the palace without complaint, saluted the emperor and stood aside with a medicine box.
The emperor just happened to be tired from a busy day, he waved his hand, asked Zhou Man to put down the medicine box, and asked, "How is Prince Gong?"
Man Bao calculated the date of the concubine's birth in his heart, and said: "The prince's body is better than before, but I see that the prince's will is not strong, so I have to practice to be stronger, lest he suddenly stop and gain weight again. .”
The emperor nodded after thinking for a while, "You can practice more slowly, don't force Prince Gong all the time, I heard that you bullied him and cried several times?"
Man Bao didn't admit it, "Prince Gong felt that training was uncomfortable, but he had to persevere in order to be filial to His Majesty and Empress, that's why he cried."
The emperor believed her to be a ghost, but she spoke nicely, so he skipped the matter, anyway, he just asked for treatment slowly, don't be too impatient, it is also possible for Prince Gong to lose weight after the new year.
Coincidentally, Man Bao thought so too.
The monarch and his ministers reached a reconciliation, and the emperor leaned on the dragon chair and chatted with her, "I heard people say that on the eighth day of the lunar new year, you took the princesses to see beautiful men in Korea?"
Man Bao immediately said: "They are not good-looking."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Don't you guys have a good conversation? Why did you turn around and say that you are not good-looking?"
Man Bao said: "It's better to look better than ordinary people. There will never be Brother Yang who is good-looking. We usually see a lot of good-looking people. Bai Shan and Yin are probably better-looking than them."
After a pause, she put eye drops on them, "And the beauty on the surface is only temporary after all. They don't have much knowledge and knowledge, so it's really not enough to call them beautiful."
The emperor couldn't help being curious, "Why do you speak ill of others?"
Man Bao denied, "I didn't say anything bad, I was seeking truth from facts."
After finishing speaking, she couldn't be angry, she snorted twice and said: "Your Majesty, they want to send doctors to study medicine in the imperial medical office, but they look down on the imperial medical office in words, thinking that our imperial physicians are just craftsmen. Hmph, medicine is profound and profound. The Yellow Emperor has been delving into this, so why do they look down on us?"
The emperor was slightly stunned, and immediately comforted her: "It can be seen that they are short-sighted. My imperial medical office still relies on the concerted efforts of the imperial physicians. Who dares to look down on you?"
Although he knew that the status of a doctor was indeed lower than that of a scholar, Man Bao was relieved by the emperor's words.
The emperor and the others left, and laughed with Gu Zhong: "This little girl is quite temperamental, she just came here to sue me with a complaint."
Gu Zhong bent down and said with a smile: "Master Zhou is still young, and he doesn't know how to hide his thoughts."
The emperor laughed and said, "If you don't know it, then you won't. She is good at medicine, so it's enough to concentrate on studying medicine."
Man Bao picked up the medicine box and strutted away. Not long after he left, he ran into Ming Da and Chang Yu who were waiting in front of him.
She immediately picked up the medicine box and trotted forward: "Why are you here?"
"We heard that you came and we were waiting for you, but the third brother actually left after you finished watching."
Man Bao looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty asked me to write an apology. I will send it to him. Of course, I must avoid people."
Mingda was curious, "What mistake did you make?"
Man Bao complained quietly: "Because I took you out to see the beauties."
The two princesses immediately felt embarrassed, and Ming Da asked, "Did Emperor Father punish you?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't want the courtiers to know, so Zhezi has never passed Yushitai. What do you want from me?"
Only then did Changyu think about the business, and she pulled Man Bao to talk about interceding with the Korean envoys. She told Man Bao exactly what the emperor said that day, and then sighed: "I promised Lou Mian Now, it’s not easy to keep your promises, right?”
Man Bao was taken aback for a moment, she had already filed a criminal complaint.
She swallowed her saliva, and said: "You don't count as a promise, at most it's a promise to give it a try."
"Then let's try it, I haven't tried it yet."
Man Bao stared at Chang Yu curiously, and asked, "Do you like Lou Mian very much?"
Chang Yu said: "The main reason is that I don't want the beauty to be sad, he is so white and gentle, what if he frowns when he is sad?"
Man Bao turned his head and said to Ming Da: "Fortunately, she is not the prince, otherwise if she becomes the emperor, the harem will not be messed up?"
Mingda thought about the scene for a while, and couldn't help laughing out loud, overwhelmed with joy.
Changyu stomped his feet and said, "I was talking to you seriously, but you actually made fun of me."
Man Bao thought for a while, and said to Chang Yu in a low voice: "I don't think it's easy, because I said bad things about them to His Majesty just now."
Chang Yu was stunned, and after a while his eyes widened, "Is it because Gao You looked down on the Imperial Medical Office?"
Man Bao nodded, "He looks down on the Imperial Medical Bureau, and I still look down on them."
"But what's the matter with Lou Mian?"
Mingda laughed and said: "My sister is confused, Lou Mian is his companion, and it is unavoidable that everyone will prosper and everyone will suffer."
Chang Yu pouted and looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao scratched his head, and asked after a while, "How about I go to His Majesty another day and change my words?"
"Don't," Mingda stopped her, "You try to figure out what you want like this, and be careful that the emperor asks you for crimes."
Although beauties are important, friends are also important, Chang Yu sighed and said: "That's right, you can't talk about this matter anymore, it's not normal for the father to be angry, I'd better go and intercede by myself."
