It is not the first time for the master of Xuandu Temple to see Zhou Man, but Zhou Man is particularly pleasing to him at this moment. I know, because Zhou Man gave the princess and the empress a string of bracelets that were consecrated in front of the statue of Lao Tzu, which seemed to be beneficial to the health of the princess and empress, so the empress dowager and the emperor decided to come to Xuandu Temple to pay respects to Lao Tzu.
However, although the temple master looked very pleasing to Zhou Man at the moment, he didn't dare to flirt with Zhou Man in front of the emperor and queen mother. What if the emperor and queen mother misunderstood him
Huang Tian can testify that he and Zhou Man have nothing to do with each other, it's the real relationship between the master and the believer.
It was because her husband was relatively knowledgeable, so they talked about Taoism and drank tea together.
Buddhism and Taoism colluded with officials to promote the teachings, which is their own ability secretly, but on the surface they are criticized by others. The temple master didn't want to give such an impression to the world, so he looked at the queen mother with a smile, and occasionally glanced at Zhou Man along the way.
Man Bao was holding the Queen Mother's hand in a daze.
The emperor and the crown prince standing aside looked at the queen mother and saw Zhou Man. They also felt that she was in a daze, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The emperor could not help but glance at Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng stepped forward with some winking, and the emperor asked him to look at Zhou Man.
Xiao Yuanzheng could see at a glance that Zhou Man was letting go of his thoughts and listening to his pulse, they often did this as doctors, in fact it felt good to listen to his pulse quietly.
But, how could he tell the emperor about such a thing before he would believe it
Xiao Yuanzheng whispered tentatively, "Physician Zhou is checking the pulse."
The emperor glanced at him, that look seemed to say, do you think I am a fool, or do you think I am blind, seeing Zhou Man's dazed appearance as if he was listening to his pulse
Xiao Yuanzheng was hesitating whether to step forward to remind Zhou Man that maybe it would be better if he closed his eyes, but before he stepped forward, the emperor had already withdrawn his gaze, then walked to the side of the empress dowager, and also talked to the temple master .
Man Bao rolled his eyes to look at the emperor, and then continued to let go of his thoughts and listen to the pulse.
She felt that the human pulse was really strange. It clearly heard the beating sound of the heart, but when she listened carefully, she could still feel the condition of the blood flowing through the meridians and viscera after coming out of the beating place of the heart. Healers with stronger ears and stronger brains can even hear the condition of the place where it flows through the pulse condition...
Physicians can thus judge the lesion.
Man Bao was listening to the empress dowager's pulse at this time, listening to it go from jumping, a little angry to relieved, she could even "hear" the speed of blood circulation slowing down, although it was slow, it was smoother than before, There is no stagnation of rushing left and right due to impatience.
Man Baozheng was fascinated by what she heard, when suddenly she felt a gaze staring at her, she couldn't help frowning slightly and opened her eyes, and when she raised her head, she met the emperor's gaze staring at her.
The emperor is the boss, Man Bao felt guilty for a moment, and began to reflect on herself, did she do something wrong just now
The master was preaching the scriptures with the empress dowager, and after seeing the empress dowager who only paid attention for a moment, he turned to talk about the way of health preservation. Although the empress dowager listened carefully, she was not very happy. Bai Shan had to do Buddhist rituals during Chinese New Year and Qingming, so he changed the subject and talked about the theory of yin and yang retribution.
The Queen Mother regained her spirits and listened more seriously.
Man Bao listened for a while, and then looked at the Lord with contempt, he really talked about people, talking about ghosts, obviously he didn't say that when he discussed the Tao with his husband before.
He said that he didn't know if yin and yang can alternate, but people do things more to comfort the living, and they were told not to talk about it at the time.
Just as she was slandering, the Empress Dowager sighed and said to the temple master: "The Ai family has three wishes, and I ask the temple master to petition for the Ai family's deeds."
The temple master bowed slightly and said, "My lady, please tell me."
The Empress Dowager fell silent, the host glanced at the emperor who was standing beside him, understood, got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is also tired today, why don't you go to the guest room to rest for a while?"
The Empress Dowager stood up supporting the hands of the Grand Palace Maid and Zhou Man. After leaving the hall, she took a chariot to the guest courtyard.
The emperor frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man received his gaze and followed the queen mother into the guest room step by step, while the emperor and the prince tactfully went to rest in the next room.
Most of the people in the room withdrew, leaving only the palace lady and Zhou Man.
Seeing the Empress Dowager looking at Zhou Man, Zhou Man said frankly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that there must be an imperial physician accompanying me. If I go out, then let Xiao Yuanzheng come in?"
The Queen Mother withdrew her gaze, forget it, she can follow if she wants to.
Man Bao observed the Empress Dowager's complexion at a close distance, euphemistically calling it an inspection, and must pay full attention to protect the Empress Dowager's health.
The temple master came over with a tray with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and asked the queen mother to write down her three wishes.
The Empress Dowager raised the pen with slightly trembling hands. Although she was a little trembling, she could still write clearly.
Man Bao stood beside the queen mother, and he could see it with lowered eyes.
The queen mother naturally knew that her three wishes could not be concealed from the emperor, even if he didn't know through Zhou Man and the maids around her, and just opened the paper to see, could the master of Xuandu temple still refuse
The reason why the emperor and the prince avoided it was just to look good to each other, so as not to be angry or have other emotions on the spot.
The queen mother also didn't want the emperor to think of any bad memories.
She slowly wrote down her three wishes. First, she wished the country and the people peace and prosperity of the Li family;
The queen mother finished writing three sheets of paper, then slowly put down the pen and looked at the temple master.
The temple master sighed and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, don't worry, the poor Taoist priest will do these three rituals with all his heart."
The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the temple master: "Light the longevity lamps and let them hang in the temple forever."
The temple master then asked: "How many years old do you want to order?"
Although it is a bit out of date, the viewer still listed their longevity lamp project of Xuandu Temple. There are one-year, five-year, ten-year and twenty-year-old lamps. The quality of the lamps is also different, so the price is also somewhat difference.
The Empress Dowager said directly: "They all order one hundred years old."
Man Bao: ...
Viewer: ...
What the two of them thought at the same time was, who should get the money
The queen mother has already said: "Aijia asked His Majesty to reward you with lamp oil money."
When the emperor knew that he had an extra debt, they were about to leave and go back to the palace. The master of Xuandu Temple presented a bill to Gu Zhong, and Gu Zhong showed it to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the bill in his hand and remained silent for a while. He looked up and saw that Zhou Man had followed the queen mother to the car, so he returned the bill to Gu Zhong, "Take it first, and call Zhou Man for questioning when you go back."
He has to see if it's worth paying the century-old sesame oil money for these three wishes. If it's not worth it, pay for one year or five years first, and let the queen mother deal with it.
