Xiao Yuanzheng also came, and everyone stood up according to official ranks, and he stood not far in front of Zhou Man.
Because the court meeting was solemn and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, even though the emperor and Sangong did not arrive, everyone did not dare to get together to talk as usual, but stood solemnly in their respective positions.
Man Bao stared at Xiao Yuanzheng, Xiao Yuanzheng noticed her gaze and turned to look at her.
Man Bao gave him a wink, indicating that he would stay after the meeting, and she had something to say to him.
Xiao Yuanzheng barely understood this look, so he nodded slightly, then turned around and stood still.
All civil and military officials stood in the square for an hour before the emperor and the prince led the three ministers back from the altar.
So everyone shouted and tsunami wished the emperor a long life, wished the country a long life, and wished the world peace and happiness.
The emperor happily accepted their instructions, expressed his thoughts on governing the country, and encouraged civil and military officials to make persistent efforts in the new year, to be loyal to the country and the king, to manage the world together, and to create eternal peace.
At the end, he continued to say that this year's reign name remains unchanged, and it is still the year of Dazhen.
The civil and military officials knelt down again, and said that the emperor was very wise, and they would follow the emperor to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.
The emperor was very happy, and raised his hand and said: "Everyone who loves you is flat, come and give me a banquet."
So the servants carried the low tables and seats in a file, and placed them in front of every official, while the maids behind them served the meals.
Man Bao knelt on the seat and opened the lid of her food plate against the cold wind on the first day of the first lunar month. Inside was a plate of Sheji Fushou noodles. She reached out and touched it, and she was slightly relieved, and there was still a hint of warmth. Anyway, it's not cold.
Next to it are small steamed buns made from other four grains, snacks and the like. Man Bao stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was still warm.
She smiled and looked at the distant emperor on the high steps, waiting for him to move his chopsticks.
In front of the emperor, the same food made of five grains as the civil and military officials were served.
The Great Court Meeting was held early, and the ancestor worship was also early. Everyone was sitting here hungry, and it was time for breakfast at this moment.
The emperor motioned for everyone to eat, and then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some noodles. After the emperor ate, the crown prince moved the chopsticks, the three princes moved the chopsticks, and all civil and military officials moved the chopsticks.
Because today, no matter whether it is a real job or a false job, you have to enter the palace to celebrate, so a lot of people have been added to the front, and Man Bao is farther away from the emperor. It is impossible to see whether he is eating or not. Pick up the chopsticks to eat, and pick up the chopsticks to eat noodles.
It is said that the five grains given by the emperor are blessed by heaven, so everyone will eat up all the grains every year on the first day of the new year.
Although it was the first time for Man Bao to participate, he knew everything about it.
She also wanted God's instructions, so she ate everything carefully, touched her stomach after eating, and found that she was not full, so she put down her chopsticks regretfully.
After everyone finished eating, the emperor and his ministers lamented the difficulties of last year and their achievements in a difficult environment, and then happily announced that they would leave the court and leave.
The crown prince and Sangong left with the emperor. They big bosses have other things to do, and other civil and military officials can leave.
Man Bao got up from his seat and was about to find Xiao Yuanzheng. The editors standing not far from her saluted her for a hundred years, "Happy New Year, Master Zhou."
Man Bao hurriedly bowed in return, "Happy New Year, Mr. Fang..."
The person next to her also gave her a hundred years, and Man Bao returned the gift again and again, bending his waist five or six times in a row, and when he straightened up to look for Xiao Yuanzheng, he found that Xiao Yuanzheng was gone.
She stood on tiptoe and looked forward, and saw that everyone was celebrating the new year, and she couldn't tell who was who if she only looked at the back.
She scratched her head, and simply cupped her hands and saluted all the way forward, trying to find Xiao Yuanzheng.
After walking a few steps, someone grabbed her by the back collar.
She turned her head, just in time to see Yang Heshu slapping off Tang He's hand that was pulling her.
Seeing her turn around, Tang He cupped his hands and bowed in salute, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Zhou, Happy New Year."
Man Bao was speechless for a moment, then bent down to return the greeting, "Happy New Year, Mr. Tang."
Yang Heshu also smiled and solemnly paid homage to her for a year, and only after receiving her return did he ask with a smile, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Xiao Yuanzheng."
Yang Heshu will help her find it.
Tang He said with a smile: "He is your superior. There is still a long time before the year passes. There is always time to worship him. What's the rush?"
Man Bao said: "I have something to say to him."
Tang He remembered that she was on duty at the imperial hospital on New Year's Eve yesterday, and he paused with a smile on his face. He pointed to the harem and said, "I just saw someone come to invite Xiao Yuanzheng, but they have already gone to the back."
Man Bao opened her mouth wide in surprise, turned her head to look, passing through many people, she could barely see three figures from their backs, and they disappeared as soon as they turned the corner.
Tang He asked in a low voice: "Is it very important?"
Man Bao struggled for a while and said: "No, I just want to talk to him."
Physician Liu also passed through many officials, and came all the way to pay New Year's greetings. Seeing that Zhou Man was the only one here, he asked, "Where is the principal?"
Man Bao pointed in the direction of the harem and said, "Let's go."
Imperial Physician Liu was also taken aback, and quickly asked, "Did you tell him?"
Man Bao shook his head, "It's too late."
Imperial Physician Liu was also dumbfounded, looked at the direction of the harem with her, and said after a while: "I remembered, Imperial Physician Lu is on duty today, can we leave the palace now?"
Man Bao's conscience was stronger, he hesitated and said: "Isn't this not good, why don't you wait for Xiao Yuan to come out and talk to him?"
"It's all recorded in the medical records, and we just need to tell Dr. Lu, we almost didn't sleep last night, we were so tired."
When Man Bao heard this, his conscience weakened a little, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go back and hand it over."
So the old and the young were not in the mood to celebrate the New Year with everyone. They only paid New Year greetings to the people they met along the way, and then quickly slipped back to the Tai Hospital.
Yang Heshu and Tang He looked at the audience, couldn't help but look at each other, smiled and went to greet the other elders and colleagues.
Imperial Physician Liu and Man Bao rushed back to the Imperial Hospital in a hurry, and as soon as they collected their belongings, they waited for Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Zheng to come back.
When the two imperial physicians came back after paying New Year's greetings, they immediately handed over to them.
Imperial Physician Lu and Zhou Man didn't have a good relationship, so he only talked to Imperial Physician Liu. Imperial Physician Zheng always thought it was strange that they were in such a hurry to hand over, so he pulled Man Bao aside and asked, "Did you feel safe last night?"
Doctor Zheng is his own person after all, so Man Bao whispered to him: "Last night was pretty safe, Prince Gong had a bad stomach, and some princes almost got into a fight when they were drunk and crazy, and one fell down. , Two of the young princes caught a cold, but they were all sent out of the palace, so the problem is not too big."
It seems that last night was very lively, Doctor Zheng thought to himself, "Then..."
Man Bao lowered his voice and said: "But yesterday was not peaceful. Princess Yunfeng is pregnant, and the fetal image is not very good. Xiao Yuanzheng should already be in the Empress Dowager's Palace at this moment."
Imperial Physician Zheng thought about it for a while and recalled, "Didn't you agree with the hospital?"
