Man Bao told them this paragraph vividly while eating, not only including what each adult said, but also describing the expressions of the adults and the emperor that she could see at that time.
It was obviously only a game of about four quarters of an hour, but she didn't finish until everyone's rest time was almost over.
But everyone listened with gusto.
Zhao Liulang pushed the food box forward after listening to it, and finally asked the waiters to take away the cold bowls and chopsticks that had already been eaten.
Unknowingly, the students sitting nearby also got up one after another, only to realize that their noon break had passed without knowing it.
Man Bao also said that his mouth was dry and his tongue was burnt. He drank the water on the side in one gulp, got up and said, "I'm going to find my husband."
Mr. Zhuang already knew what happened at the Great Court Meeting from Kong Jijiu, and some colleagues in the Chongwen Museum envied him for having a good apprentice.
The main reason is that this official promotion is too enviable.
Mr. Zhuang stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Yeah, I didn't expect to be blessed as an apprentice when I get old, hahaha..."
The colleagues looked at Mr. Zhuang's half-white hair, and the jealousy in their hearts disappeared a lot, and they became more envious. When they saw Zhou Man again, they smiled at her.
Man Bao ran to find Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, everyone is so weird today."
Mr. Zhuang put the book on the shelf with a smile and asked, "Why is it so strange?"
"Everyone laughed at me." Man Bao was not very entangled in this matter, mainly because he was afraid that the husband might have questions, so he ran over to explain some inside information, and said by the way: "Mr. Can receive a new salary."
Man Bao suddenly remembered, "We are very lucky. We were promoted just before August, so we should be able to catch up with this year's job assignment."
Mr. Zhuang: ... His apprentice's focus is always so strange. Is the promotion for career
But the old Zhou Tou just thinks that promotion is really for career.
Hearing that Mr. Zhuang was promoted and that he was going to get a lot of jobs, the old Zhou Tou specially asked Wu Wulang to go to the market to buy two chickens and kill them, and asked Xiao Qian to cook a special and sumptuous meal to celebrate.
Of course, this meal has nothing to do with Man Bao, she just swallowed silently after knowing it from her husband.
Just when Mr. Zhuang was successfully promoted and got a new official uniform and official seal, Mrs. Wei and the others were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and went to the Empress Dowager's palace every day to admonish him.
They seem to have arranged the order, from Master Wei, Li Shangshu to Old Tang Master, then to Han Shangshu, and even Lord Yin went there in person. After everyone went through it once and found that it didn't work, they went again specifically. Xiao Yuanzheng was called in the harem.
Wei Zhi and the others were afraid that the queen mother would be angry with them before she left the palace, and the emperor was also alarmed, so he insisted on obeying the queen mother. Several ministers discussed it, but in the end they had no choice but to agree.
It's just that there have been changes. The Queen Mother and the Emperor decided to reward Xuandu Guan with a 30% reduction, and the security along the way has been strengthened.
From the palace all the way to Xuandu Temple, unfortunately, they are all under the jurisdiction of Mr. Tang, so Mr. Tang has been so busy these days that he never touched the ground.
The construction of the appearance of the capital is only one aspect, and the most important thing is the issue of public security.
Fortunately, his immediate boss, Lord Yin, was very powerful, so he directly transferred a team of troops from the Imperial Army to take over, and Lord Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial hospital is also very busy, although it is such a short distance from the Imperial Palace Daoxuan Duguan, but they dare not neglect, the emergency medicine must be brought, and the emergency imperial physician must also be brought.
As a female imperial physician, Zhou Man took on the task of always following the Queen Mother.
The emperor accompanied the empress dowager, so the empress would not be able to go again. Even Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu did not go, for fear of increasing the burden on the court.
In the end, the emperor and the prince served the queen mother and went to Xuandu Temple.
Early in the morning, Man Bao put on his official uniform and went to the Queen Mother's Palace to pick up the Queen Mother. Together with the others, he carefully lifted him onto the chariot, and then carried him all the way to the guard of honor, and waited on him into the carriage.
Man Bao followed the queen mother with the maid who was serving the queen mother, kneeling on the car from left to right, looked at the servants and maids standing outside, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Empress Dowager leaned on the pillow, looked outside the curtain, and asked, "When will we leave?"
The palace lady asked the people under the car, and the people under the car ran forward to ask, and trotted back after a while and said: "Your Majesty is coming, you can start the journey immediately."
The emperor also traveled in chariots, and the prince escorted them on horseback.
Along the way, many people were kneeling to watch the excitement. Man Bao thought he would be very happy, but the Queen Mother's breathing was not steady along the way, so scared that she raised her heart and focused on seeing the face of the Queen Mother , had no time to pay attention to the situation on the street.
When they arrived at the Xuandu Temple, all the guards and arrangements were made at the Xuandu Temple. The temple master led a group of people to wait under the mountain gate. The queen mother was helped to the chariot, and the emperor and the prince supported the chariot on one side to escort the queen mother up the mountain.
Man Bao followed behind, and couldn't help asking Xiao Yuanzheng in a low voice, "Is it the same when your Majesty goes to Huguo Temple?"
Xiao Yuanzheng replied in a low voice: "It's more than that."
After all, many ministers opposed the persuasion this time, so the cost was reduced a lot.
Man Bao thought, no wonder Master Wei and the others objected.
She looked back at this road that she had walked many times from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Not to mention the officials, servants and maids following behind, there are five steps and one post on both sides of the road, she thought to herself, I don't know how much manpower and money will be spent on this trip.
If only a few more times a year...
Man Bao suddenly remembered, yes, although the empress dowager and the emperor mostly used their own private money for rewards, but the money for the trip was paid by the treasury.
Man Bao pouted, and followed the empress dowager's chariot to the main hall.
Man Bao stepped forward immediately, and the prince was also sensible and gave her the seat.
While supporting the queen mother with the emperor, Man Bao felt her pulse secretly.
The queen mother tremblingly stepped down from the chariot, and leaned against the emperor weakly. She raised her head and glanced at the statue of Lao Tzu in the main hall, panting and asked, "Is this Lao Tzu suitable for sculpture?"
The master who followed behind immediately stepped forward to explain.
The queen mother nodded slightly after hearing this, and then she sat on the futon with the support of the emperor and Zhou Man, but she couldn't make the futon steadily, so the palace maid quickly walked two steps forward and knelt down, stretched out her hand to support the queen mother's waist, and directly received it. Hold her half strength.
Man Bao also felt tired from squatting, so he just knelt down and sat down, with one hand still on the Queen Mother's hand.
Queen Mother: ...
The posture of the three of them next to each other made the queen mother very uncomfortable, especially Zhou Man, who insisted on clasping her hands on hers.
She shook it twice but failed to shake it off. The two of them fought secretly for a while, but Zhou Man's hand was still firmly on her pulse. Even if the Lord speaks well, it will not work.
Xiao Yuan was standing aside and saw it, and nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, there is a female imperial doctor, otherwise, if they were them, who would dare to hold the Queen Mother's hand forever
Not to mention the queen mother, the emperor can kill them.
