This was also the first time that many people saw the emperor in the palace, and they couldn't help whispering, "Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty is in good health. I didn't expect to be able to hold a banquet today."
"It seems that the problem is not too big, why did you specially invite Doctor Tan to come here?"
"By the way, Imperial Physician Zhou went back to the capital yesterday, and he will return today. I don't know what's the matter?"
"Okay, let's stop guessing. Today's Imperial Hospital is different from the past. It's above the Imperial Medical Office. Who knows if there is something going on in the Imperial Medical Office?"
Man Bao picked up a fish ball, tasted it, and nodded slightly. The fresh fish balls were really good.
Changyu and the others had a lot of exercise in the afternoon, and they were all hungry. They ate and said, "We've played in the water. Let's go hunting on horseback in a few days."
Man Bao asked: "I don't know what the weather is like, but will it rain?"
Bai Shan said: "Brother Wei may know."
Wei Yu said: "It is said that there will be rain in two days, but Qin Tianjian is not sure, we have to wait and see."
Although Qin Tianjian can observe the sky at night to infer the approximate weather changes, there are still unexpected times.
Changyu pouted, "What do you want to do so much, I'll go if it doesn't rain the next day."
Ming Da also wanted to go hunting, so he asked Bai Erlang, "Are you going?"
Bai Erlang: "Go!"
Man Bao said: "I don't have time, maybe I can't accompany you, you can call Shang Yin or."
Bai Shan also said: "I don't have time either."
He is busier than Man Bao. She is the chief official in the palace anyway, and her time is relatively flexible. She can go to see the emperor whenever she wants. It is more convenient for Wei Zhi to go there at night, so the rest of the time She arranges freely.
But Bai Shan couldn't do it, although the number of papers sent to the palace decreased, but the number of people doing the work decreased even more, so Bai Shan was busier than when he was in the palace.
It's just that the working hours are more flexible because the emperor is sick and summer vacation. Basically, they only go there when the emperor calls, and the rest of the time is spent processing paperwork in the office.
So he is busier than Zhou Man.
Wei Yu also has errands, so he has no time to relax.
So Bai Erlang patted his chest and said, "I'll take you there."
The emperor was still taking medicine, so he couldn't drink too much, and the ministers didn't dare to pay more respect, so after drinking a glass, everyone looked at Wei Zhi.
With a flash in their eyes, someone brought a jug and a wine glass to respect Wei Zhi, "Master Wei, I heard that you were unwell earlier, are you well now?"
Wei Zhi looked at the jug in their hands, smiled and nodded, "It's much better."
Wei Yu had been keeping an eye on that side, and when he saw his father being toasted, he became a little anxious. After thinking about it, he still took the wine glass and left the table and headed over there.
Chang Yu didn't pay attention at first, but Man Bao signaled her to see it.
Seeing Wei Yu holding back the wine for her father-in-law, he blushed in just a short while.
Chang Yu pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy, turned his head and told the court lady: "Go, fetch those two bottles of wine from my room, together with the glass cups."
"Yes." The maid went away in response.
Chang Yu and Man Baoming said: "You have to ask your son-in-law and Master Bai to help me."
Man Bao said generously: "Just order him around, he can still drink a glass or two of wine."
Man Bao recalled the taste of the wine, and immediately said: "I can drink it too."
So after the maid brought the wine, Man Bao excitedly took a glass, and then several people gathered around to stop the adults who were pouring wine for Wei Yu, let's all drink together.
Princess Changyu asked the empress to send a bottle up, and then said with a smile: "Father, this is the wine that I bought from a businessman from the Western Regions last year. I see that several adults seem to like drinking wine. Why don't you try it?" How about a taste of Erchen's wine?"
Man Bao and Bai Shan stuffed wine glasses in their hands and said with a smile: "Sirs, have a try."
Princess Changyu came forward, and the emperor followed the trend, and said to them: "I know you love wine, and you don't care about state affairs tonight, but it's better not to drink too much, so you don't want to surround Lord Wei and my son-in-law."
The emperor laughed and said, "Did you feel sorry for the princess who didn't see me?"
Several ministers responded with a smile, raised the wine glasses in their hands and drank it in one gulp, and retreated to their seats.
They still didn't find out, they thought that Wei Zhi was sick, but these few days he has been going to the office as usual, except for the first two days of rest, there is not much to do in the past few days, and there is no sickness on his body. not sick.
So was Zhou Man's astonishing statement that day really a misdiagnosis
Everyone was suspicious, but the emperor and Wei Zhi joined forces at the imperial hospital, and if they deliberately concealed it, they couldn't help it.
Holding the glass cup, Man Bao smiled and nodded with Wei Zhi, sat back in his seat, took a sip of the wine carefully, his eyes brightened.
Chang Yu leaned over and asked, "How is it? Is it better than what we drank last time?"
Man Bao nodded, "It's less astringent, more mellow and sweeter than before, delicious."
Chang Yu said: "I spent a lot of money, and I only got three bottles, and my son-in-law and I only drank half a bottle, and now we have taken out two bottles."
She was a bit unwilling, so she drank the wine in the glass slowly, and asked someone to pour another glass. She decided to drink more, so that it would not be a loss.
Yin Ju also poured half a glass and drank it in small sips, very happy.
Zhou Man said that he could drink fruit wine, so why not ask someone to buy some wine next time.
Man Bao thought of the grapes at home, "The grapes in my family should bear fruit this year. I will write a letter to my second brother and ask them later. If they bear fruit, we will also try to make wine this year."
Bai Shandao: "I'm afraid our grapes are far inferior to those from the Western Regions."
"What's the big deal?" Man Bao said, "The big deal is that it's sour, but it's better than bitter, right?"
Yin could not help but said, "I'm afraid they would rather drink bitter wine than sour wine."
They were chatting lively here, and the emperor remembered it, and turned to ask Gu Zhong, "I remember that there are grapes planted in the Zhuangzi in Yongzhou?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Zhong smiled and said: "Yes, it's in the Huangzhuang not far away, but Your Majesty, that Huangzhuang now belongs to Princess Mingda."
The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Then I will ask Ming Da for a bunch of grapes tomorrow."
Mingda didn't care about this Huangzhuang, and didn't remember it. It was only when the emperor mentioned it that he remembered that in previous years, half of the grapes eaten in the palace came from the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, and half from the big Huangzhuang in Yongzhou. , she immediately smiled and said: "I will ask them to pick some for my brothers later on. As for what the father wants to eat, my daughter will pick it for you in person."
The emperor nodded her nose and said: "I know, you must be naughty. You wanted to go out to play, but you said you were going to pick grapes for me."
Ming Da shook his hand and said with a smile: "Then Father, should he or should he not?"
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, you go, call a few more people, um, how about I go with you?"
The emperor glanced out quietly, and whispered to her: "Go and tell your queen mother that you want the emperor to accompany you."
