She hadn't come back for several days, and as soon as she arrived in the courtyard, the maid who served her came up to listen to her orders.
Man Bao said: "Get water up, I want to take a bath."
The palace maid responded and went to fetch water for her.
Man Bao opened the medicine box, sorted out the contents, and took out the manuscript paper of the pulse case that she had recorded in the past few days. Here it is summed up in the notebook, and the notebook is stuffed into the space, and the maid also boils the water and brings it over.
No way, it's not time to take a bath, so there is no hot water in their small kitchen, and they have to boil it when they need it.
After she brought the water in and poured it into the bathtub, and mixed it with cold water, Man Bao found the clothes by himself and said, "Thank you, I will do the rest myself."
The palace maid responded, bowed and retreated.
Serving Zhou Man is not tiring, because she doesn't like to be served by others, and she does most of the things by herself, including cleaning pens and inks.
Unlike the servant next door who takes care of the students in the Chongwenkan, he even has to order the servant to change clothes in the morning.
The newly sent maid was selected for her by the Crown Princess later on, no matter who she was, at least she was much simpler than Xu Yu, and since she came to her side, Man Bao no longer felt the feeling of being spied on.
Man Bao took a hot bath and completely relaxed. When she put on her clothes and yawned and was drowsy, she finally heard the Chongwen Hall knocking the school bell. She got a little more energetic, got up and closed the door to find past.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang Yin or walked together, and were about to go quickly to the cafeteria, when he looked up and saw Man Bao coming from a distance, Bai Shan couldn't help trotting forward, ran up to her and asked, "Come back gone?"
Man Bao was also very happy to see his friends, and nodded again and again: "I'm back, I'll live here tonight, and I can come back in the future except for being on duty."
Bai Shan heard the sound and understood the elegant meaning, which meant that the condition of the queen and even Prince Gong had stabilized.
He also couldn't help grinning happily, seeing Bai Erlang and Yin or they had also arrived, he held her hand and said: "Then let's go have dinner together."
Man Bao said: "I still want to go to the husband to report that he is safe, so as not to worry about the husband and his family."
She was not in the Chongwen Hall these days, and her husband couldn't find her to give her homework. Maybe the family didn't know what happened in the palace, but Mr. Zhuang definitely knew, so she had to report for safety.
But Bai Shan said: "Don't worry, the master is still with the prince and hasn't come back yet, we will have time to look for it after we have eaten."
Bai Erlang nodded again and again, "Mr. will stay in the Chongwen Hall for a longer period of time to copy or read books every time after school, and won't leave the palace so early."
Man Bao turned around and followed them to the cafeteria for dinner.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't ask her about the situation in the harem, and Yin Ru also tacitly didn't ask. Feng Zongping, who was sitting on the table beside him, was scratching his head, but he couldn't ask.
Bai Shan helped her open her food box, and said: "My uncle and aunt have gone to Beijing, after two days of rest, can you go out of the palace?"
Man Bao did some calculations, the Queen's condition doesn't need to be on duty day and night, but Prince Gong has to wait at least four or five days to avoid accidents, so she shook her head and said, "Maybe I can't get out."
Bai Shan felt a little regretful, "Then what do you want, I'll bring it in for you from outside the palace."
"I want to eat the glutinous rice noodles made by my sister-in-law, but unfortunately you can't bring this in."
Bai Erlang raised his head and said: "Sir, my father brought a lot of marinated bamboo shoots from the village. When you can go out next time, we will find a way to buy some beef and ask Mrs. Zhou to make beef with bamboo shoots for us." Sausage."
Man Bao swallowed, and nodded repeatedly.
Bai Shandao: "The autumn harvest is about to start now, beef is very slow to buy."
In winter, more old and "unhealthy" cattle are slaughtered.
Yin Ju thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to look for it. They should be able to find it."
Bai Shan and the others looked at him with admiration, this is the privileged class.
Yin or just smiled.
Liu Huan on the side immediately said: "Remember to call me that day, I also want to go to your house to play."
Bai Erlang said: "You want to eat noodles?"
Liu Huan chuckled and said, "We're all classmates, why be so stingy."
Everyone talked nonsense, and left the cafeteria after eating. When there were only four people in private, Man Bao said to Bai Erlang: "I heard from Princess Changyu that the emperor has met the Ren family and the Huo family. , and he knew about Master Bai and the others just after they entered the capital, so I thought His Majesty would summon them in a few days, and this time when Xiu Mu returns, you can just tell Master Bai about the precautions in the palace."
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, wondering if his father was nervous or not, anyway he was quite nervous.
But it was a pity that the emperor didn't give them this chance. On the third day early in the morning, Bai Shan and the others came out of the palace after taking a bath, and they ran into Master Bai and Mrs. Bai who were dressed up outside the gate of the palace.
When the two sides met, they both opened their mouths.
Master Bai raised his hand to greet his son, but the servant who came to announce them into the palace directly reminded him: "Master Bai, Your Majesty is still waiting, please."
Master Bai kept many words in his heart, and after nodding with Bai Erlang, he was going to follow the servant into the palace.
Bai Shan was the first to come back to his senses, quickly pulled Bai Erlang forward, saluted Master Bai and called "Cousin Uncle", then smiled at the servant, "Please trouble your father-in-law to leave the palace early in the morning."
He calmly stuffed a purse into the servant's hand, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen our cousin for a year, and we didn't expect to meet here. Let them talk to each other."
The servant hesitated for a moment, not only looking at the money, but also Bai Shan's face, not to mention Master Zhou.
So the servant put away the purse and said in a low voice: "Then you two, hurry up, your majesty is still waiting to see you in the palace."
Bai Shan responded quickly.
Bai Erlang took the time to whisper to his parents, telling them to behave well, he really wanted to be Mingda's son-in-law.
Bai Shan saw that he hadn't got the point after talking for a long time, so he pulled him aside, and then said to Master Bai: "Cousin, don't be nervous when you see Your Majesty, as long as you don't make mistakes in etiquette. Our Bai family are all kind and friendly." , Brother Datang is promising again, in the future he will inherit the incense and support the family, Erlang originally only wants to do as he pleases, so there is no need to force anything."
Master Bai's heart moved, and he understood Bai Shan's hint.
He just glanced at his son with dissatisfaction, he was really stupid, nothing Bai Shan said was effective after talking for a long time.
He complied, and saw that the servant was secretly urging him, so he nodded with Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, telling them to be careful when they went back, and then followed the servant into the palace with Mrs. Bai.
By the time Master Bai and Mrs. Bai arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, it was already two quarters of an hour later, it was early morning, but now the sun came out early, the temperature rose quickly, and both of them were sweating when they went out in their best clothes.
Master Bai was a little bit regretful, if he had known, he would have listened to Mr. Zhuang's wearing better ordinary clothes, and he didn't know if it would be rude to see His Majesty for a while.
