As soon as the rest day came, Manbao went out of the palace with the statue of Lao Tzu in his arms, and took the leave and brought him back... This went on and on ten times, and finally after seventy-seven forty-nine days, Manbao took the box to Mingda .
Even the Crown Princess came over specially to see what kind of birthday gift she had consecrated Ming Da.
Seeing the pink crystal bracelet in the box, the princess's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said: "Such pink crystals are very rare, and the appearance is very good, so you can buy them."
Man Bao smiled slightly, and put the bracelet on Mingda. The bracelet was a little loose, slightly drooping, but it hung beautifully.
Mingda raised his wrist to appreciate it, then smiled and said: "I like it very much, by the way, this dark... jade? It's cold to the touch, it looks like jade but it's not jade."
Man Bao let out a "huh" and said, "Do I think it looks like jade? To me, it looks like a stone, just like obsidian."
Everyone present: ... You don't even know the author, isn't this gift from you
Mingda burst out laughing, nodded and said: "Jade is also a stone, almost, it's pretty, I like it very much."
Man Bao laughed happily.
Changyu looked back and forth, and sighed after a while, "So this is the gift you spent forty-nine days to make."
Man Bao glanced over, "It's very powerful, it can protect Mingda's qi disease from external causes."
She invited Mingda: "Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and my family's Zhuangzi's busy farming is over. At that time, my family will release fish in the pond. Do you want to come and pray for blessings?"
Mingda blinked, "Spring is just over, and May is the time when hundreds of poisons invade, should you go out at this time?"
Man Bao said: "Let's go for a walk. You have been bored in the palace for half a year. Go out to relax. When you feel better, your health will only get better."
As soon as Changyu heard that he was going out, he immediately urged Mingda, "That's right, I always heard her talking about her Zhuangzi, but we haven't visited it yet, why don't we take this opportunity to have a look."
The crown princess on the side opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word of persuasion for a while, so she could only shut up silently.
Changyu didn't have the guts to mention such things as going out to the emperor and empress, but Mingda did.
And she quickly thought of the reason. She glanced at the excited Man Bao and Chang Yu, and she was also very excited, so she nodded.
Man Bao and Chang Yu gave an excited "Yeah", clapped their palms together, and forced Mingda, and the princess who wanted to stay out of the matter also clapped their palms together.
The crown princess glanced at the palm of her hand that had been patted, shook her head for a while, and decided to ignore it.
If they could convince the emperor, that's fine, but if they couldn't, she couldn't help much.
After seeing off the princess, Man Bao found an excuse to pull Ming Da away and whispered.
She also asked Keke to help watch, and asked Mingda to send her court lady away before she began to bite her ear.
"I have other uses for this bracelet, I'll teach you." Man Bao was afraid that she would accidentally press the switch on the back to turn off the device, so he took her hand and let her touch it, and then said: "This The black dot is the switch, the so-called switch means that it can be turned on or off, you see, when it is turned on, this black stone has a faint red color when facing the sun."
Mingda exclaimed, "I saw it."
Man Bao said: "It will be gone when you close it. Be careful in the future, don't close it, keep it open, it can help you to isolate flying dust and some smells."
Mingda raised his eyebrows, looked at Man Bao for a while and asked, "Man Bao, where did you get this bracelet?"
Man Bao shook his head and said: "I can't tell you, because you said you wanted to go out to play with us, and I also thought it would be bad for you to be bored in the palace all the time, so I wanted to give it to you, so that your body will be weaker. But it will not be too affected by the outside world.”
Mingda clenched the bracelet in his hand, lowered his voice and asked: "Then can you get another one, I want to give one to my queen, she also suffers from shortness of breath."
After thinking about it, Man Bao stretched out his hand and said, "I want money."
Mingda put his hand on hers, smiling like a flower, "No problem, how much do you want?"
Man Bao counted the points she had spent, twitched and said: "I don't earn your money, at least one thousand and eight hundred taels, and you can't tell the empress and the emperor."
Mingda took a meaningful look at Man Bao, then nodded, "Just say it's my filial piety to the queen mother, I won't tell them the truth, um, that old man of yours seems to be borrowing from me? Nine days will be fine."
Man Bao said: "This is not good, next month a family friend of Bai Shan's family will celebrate his birthday, this is a birthday gift."
Mingda: "...you actually used someone else's birthday gift in advance."
"That can't be helped, the most precious thing is this statue of Lao Tzu."
So Mingda became more and more puzzled, when they could only get one statue of Lao Tzu, where did they get such a string of bracelets that looked so precious
As for the effectiveness of what Man Bao said, Ming Da never doubted it, not only because she believed that Man Bao would not lie, but also because she felt the changes in her whole body as soon as she put on the bracelet.
Her nose has always been sensitive, and she tries to use as little and elegant fragrances as possible in the house, or not at all.
The princess also knew that she couldn't touch the fragrant things, but she was wearing a sachet and powdered on her body, Mingda could still smell a lot every time.
But just now when Mingda put the bracelet on her and pressed the inside, the pungent smell all over her body dissipated a lot, and only a little bit could be smelled.
Mingda touched the bracelet hanging on her wrist. She has always been delicate and sensitive, so she hesitated to speak to Manbao. After a while, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "You envy you because of what I said?" You can go out to study, so you think of a way to get me this bracelet?"
Man Bao nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Yes, so don't be lonely. When you grow older and your body gets better, you will definitely be able to go out and wander around."
Mingda smiled, took Man Bao's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell others, you, if it is difficult for you to buy another string, then don't buy it, the queen mother and I can use this string together."
Man Bao laughed and said, "It's not that difficult, that is, Bai Shan believes in me, and you also believe in me, but the empress may not believe me."
In Mingda's presence, she couldn't speak ill of the emperor, but Man Bao murmured, "The world of adults is too complicated, and I'm not as complicated as them now, so I don't want to get too close to them."
Mingda understood that feeling, "I also have a lot of things on my mind that I don't like to tell my father and queen, I know all of them."
Especially if she knew that if her father knew that Man Bao could buy such good things, she might want more.
She had thought it all over, and whispered to Man Bao: "You should also be careful, we just talked about the disadvantages of officials handling business affairs earlier, you tell your fourth brother to restrain himself, it may not be a good thing to go too fast."
Man Bao: ...
What is she misunderstanding
