Master Tang knew that he would definitely not be able to compete with adults with higher official rank than him, and it would be difficult to compete with adults who were older than him, so he sat still.
As soon as Gu Zhong said to rest, the emperor got up and went to the back of the palace to rest.
The ministers headed by Wei Zhi, Old Master Tang, etc. also left the palace one after another.
Man Bao is not very experienced, she was sitting and waiting for the lunch that Gu Zhong said, but when she saw Master Tang and Master Yang both took out snacks from their sleeves, she was stunned and asked, "Isn't it for lunch?" Have you eaten?"
Master Tang said: "You are waiting for them, at least another half an hour."
Now they are starving.
When Man Bao heard this, he also took out his own snacks to eat, "It's been so long."
Master Yang said with a smile: "There are so many people, so it's natural to slow down."
Man Bao thought for a while, then got up and went out to change clothes.
Mr. Tang wanted to say that she would not find a position, but it was hard to say when thinking about the differences between men and women.
Man Bao glanced at the adults who were leaving the hall one after another, and went directly to the back of the hall to find Ming Da and Chang Yu. Since it would take about half an hour, what's the rush
Wearing an official uniform, Man Bao actually wandered all the way to the harem, and the passing servants and maids didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Everyone probably thought she was here to play with Mingda Changyu and gave her directions, "Princess Changyu is in Princess Mingda's palace."
Man Bao went to find Ming Da, and it happened that Ming Da was sitting on the couch reading a book. Chang Yu was bored and threw sandbags with the court lady. When he saw Man Bao Lai, he immediately lifted up his skirt and ran to her, and asked with a smile, "You're still wearing official uniforms today?" Come play with us?"
Man Bao said: "I didn't come to play with you."
Mingda also put down the book, looked her up and down and then smiled: "Today's court meeting, shouldn't you go up front?"
Man Bao said: "Waiting for lunch."
Changyu was surprised, "It's already this hour and you haven't eaten yet?"
Ming Da has already ordered the maid, "serve Master Zhou to change clothes."
You laughed and said, "I'm cooking soup in my small kitchen, how about I ask them to serve you a bowl of noodles?"
Man Bao hesitated, "This is not good, I still want to eat the work meal in the palace."
According to Mr. Tang, there are not many such opportunities, at most two or three times a year, which is very rare.
Mingda, who has been running around in the front hall since he was a child, covered his mouth and smiled and said, "It's fine, I'll ask them to give you a little less noodles, so you can eat to warm your stomach first."
Man Bao felt that her smile was different, looked at her suspiciously and then nodded, "Okay."
The three or four pieces of snacks she brought with her are like nothing to eat. She can no longer guarantee sleep, and she can't eat and drink at a loss, otherwise she really won't grow taller.
Man Bao turned around and went to change clothes with the palace maid, and when she came back after cleaning her hands, he didn't show politeness to Chang Yu Mingda, he just lifted up his official robe and sat on the couch, exhaling, "It's really exhausting to go to court."
Changyu took out a plate of dried fruit, and asked curiously while eating: "Didn't you say last time that you were dozing off most of the time when you went to the court meeting?"
"That's because I'm fine," she said: "In the past, they rarely discussed politics with me. Except for some interesting things, most of them were very boring, but this time I also have a discount, and I have to face it." If I question and question the ministers, then I will naturally listen to how other adults made up their minds and how they responded, or I will also find faults with others, and find faults when others find fault with me."
Man Bao said: "That's why I'm so tired. Alas, I regret it. If I knew I wouldn't fall asleep on weekdays and listened more, I wouldn't be so nervous this time. What Mr. said is indeed true. Don't worry about it on weekdays. It's useless to sincerely worship Tianzun when the exam comes."
Mingda and Changyu couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and made fun of her.
The kitchen brought a bowl of noodles and a side dish.
The broth is ready-made, and the small kitchen always has some small steamed buns that Mingda wants to eat because he is going to make dim sum.
Although Mingda said that a small bowl is fine, the cook didn't dare to really order just a little.
There has always been a shortage of Ningduo in the palace, and they really can't finish it. It's okay for them to be servants to finish it, or to pour it down.
Man Bao sat down at the table, picked up chopstick noodles, and saw that not only an egg was buried in it, but also a small handful of vegetables, he was very surprised, "There are also vegetables."
Mingda didn't understand these things, so he looked at the maid at the side.
The maid laughed and said, "Prince Gong sent someone to bring this to the palace, saying it was produced in Tangquan Zhuangzi in the outskirts. He thought that the empress and princess had weak stomachs, and there were few vegetables in the palace, so he specially asked people to come from Zhuangzi. Send it here, only for the empress and the princess."
Ming Da said: "Third brother is really considerate."
Man Bao also nodded, and then asked: "I haven't seen you for half a month. Last time I saw him, I felt that he didn't lose weight. He won't gain weight in this half month, right?"
Mingda carefully recalled the third brother he met before, nodded and said, "I didn't notice it unless you said it, he seems to have gained weight again."
Man Bao said: "Don't feed him too much meat. Although it is harvested in autumn and stored in winter, you can't hide too much meat. Since he can produce vegetables in the village, he should eat more vegetables and less meat."
Mingda nodded.
The maid at the side: "...Princess, you have a bad spleen and stomach recently, so you don't eat meat very much. It seems that the share in our palace has been given to His Highness Prince Gong."
Everyone: ...
Man Bao glanced at Mingda, then at Changyu, then bowed his head to eat noodles.
After sending Man Bao away, Chang Yu sighed and said, "It turns out that third brother didn't bring me food because I love meat and you don't."
She just said, Third Brother has always been thoughtful, and she would give whatever Mingda had in the past, even if it was less.
Mingda simply got up, "Come on, let's go to Third Brother's."
After eating and drinking, Manbao licked her stomach and went to the main hall. When she entered the hall, Lord Tang and Lord Yang met to go out to change clothes. When they saw Manbao pacing back leisurely, they couldn't help but stop, "What are you doing?" Did you go back to the Chongwen Museum?"
Are you so courageous? There is still a grand court meeting.
Man Bao shook his head and said: "The Chongwen Museum is too far away. I'll go to the back to find Princess Mingda. Brothers, are you going to change clothes? Go, go."
Tang Xuexiong: ...
He stared at her mouth and asked, "Did you not only go to change clothes, but also had lunch?"
Man Bao was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I just ate a small bowl of noodles."
Let alone Mr. Tang, even Mr. Yang didn't want to talk to her, so he turned around and left.
Master Tang sighed with Yang Heshu as he walked, "Who said it is inconvenient for a woman to be an official? She is much more convenient than us. If the two of us get on good terms with some prince like this, we will even go to the palace to change clothes and eat in the spare time. What to say, just standing becomes a problem, will she have a problem?"
Yang Heshu laughed and said, "Gender is innate, and it cannot be changed."
Master Tang sighed.
