Even the servants were fast, even with three carts of gifts and luggage behind them, they still rushed to Luozhou very quickly.
We set off before dawn in the morning, took an occasional rest on the way, and changed horses at the post station.
Man Bao prepared to change horses from the beginning, so he took his Chiji and an official horse directly, and changed the official horse to the post station, and the two horses changed rides, and he arrived in Luoyang in three days.
It's just that when they got off the horse, their legs trembled a little, and even Man Bao walked a little awkwardly, but fortunately, they got better after turning around.
Man Bao raised his head and glanced at the city gate of Luoyang, and said directly: "Let's go to find Prince Gong."
Apart from Zheng Gu who has already been arrested, she is also an acquaintance of Prince Gong's family here in Luozhou.
When a group of people entered the city and passed by an inn, Man Bao turned to the shopkeeper Zheng Da and said, "You settle here first, and I will notify you."
"good."
Man Bao took a group of people to Prince Gong's Mansion.
When Prince Gong heard that the angel was coming, his parents brought him a lot of things. He was happy for a moment, and immediately took his son's hand and took the princess with him, and came out to receive the order with a smile. Zhou Man looked around.
Prince Gong paused, couldn't help rubbing his eyes first, and took a closer look, Zhou Man was still there.
Prince Gong let go of his son's hand and turned to go back to the inner courtyard.
The concubine quickly grabbed him, "My lord..."
Man Bao heard the movement, looked away from the garden, looked at Prince Gong's family, raised a big smile on his face, folded his hands and bent down to salute, and said with great joy, "I have seen Prince Gong, the concubine and the young prince."
She said: "I have come to visit the prince and concubine at the order of my mother Feng."
The concubine is also very familiar with Zhou Man. After all, they met every now and then during the second half of Prince Gong's weight loss and leg injury.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zhou Man and her husband's petty disputes, they would still be able to chat very well, of course, in private.
The relationship between Princess Gong and Princess Changyu is very good, and she even has a good impression of Zhou Man.
The concubine pulled the stinky Prince Gong forward.
Even when he came up to him, Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man in disbelief, "Are you an angel?"
Man Bao grinned, "Yes, Prince Gong can listen to the order."
A servant next to Zhou Man coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, quickly set up a case to accept the order."
Only then did Prince Gong send someone to prepare the incense case.
Then the servant took out the yellow silk from a box, unfolded it and recited the decree.
The general idea is that the weather in Chang'an has been very cold recently, and the emperor and empress could feel the cold wind while living in the Taiji Hall, and felt that life outside was not easy.
And I heard that Luozhou is colder this year than last year. You have an injury on your leg, do you feel any pain
Your leg hurts, but my mother's heart hurts even more, and the pain is unbearable day and night, so I specially sent Zhou Man, who is a skilled doctor in the Taiyuan Hospital, to see you, and hope you can take good care of yourself.
Only when you are well will your father and mother be well.
I don't know if your medicinal materials are complete, so some medicinal supplements are attached, the list is as follows.
The waiter began to read the list.
It was said to be medicinal materials and supplements, but what the emperor took from his inner treasury included not only pearls and jade, but also a box of very precious rare calligraphy and paintings.
Anyway, Man Bao sounds jealous, the emperor is really rich.
The waiter finished reading the gift list until his mouth was dry, and then handed the roll of yellow silk to Prince Gong, and everyone looked at him together.
Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man, and then at Zhou Man. Although he really wanted to drive him out, he didn't have the guts.
If he dared to drive people out, the censor in the capital could spray him to death if he chased him away, so he could only hold back his breath and look at the princess, gritted his teeth and said, "The princess will arrange it."
The concubine smiled and said to the crowd: "The guest house has been arranged for you all, come here, quickly take Mr. Zhou and all your lords to the guest house to rest."
Man Bao and his party followed the steward of the palace to the guest courtyard.
Because Zhou Man is a female guest, her place of residence is different from theirs. It is on the other side of the guest courtyard, closer to the inner courtyard, a separate courtyard, where Xibing and her live in.
Daji also followed, causing the steward of the palace to look over again and again.
Man Bao just pretended that he couldn't understand what he meant, and when he saw his hesitant expression, he was about to speak: "He is the one who brought me up since I was a child, just let him live in the same yard with me, there is no need to make additional arrangements." .”
Only then should the steward respond.
Man Bao took a look at the main room of the guest house, it was quite nice, big enough, and refreshing and clean.
The servants sent by the palace quickly helped them bring their luggage in. They were about to unpack it, but Xibing quickly stopped her, and she said, "I will arrange it myself."
Xibing took out a handful of copper coins and handed them to them, and said with a smile, "My lord has been exhausted all the way, and I ask my sisters to fetch some hot water for them to wash up."
The servant girl of the palace took the money and said with a smile, "It's easy to say, easy to say."
Go down and fetch hot water for them.
Man Bao hadn't washed her hair or bathed for three days, and she was still on her way. The road was full of dust, and her body was extremely dirty. She not only took a shower, but also washed her hair, and then sat on the couch and let Xibing dry her hair.
She calculated the time by herself, "Is the people from Dali Temple still on their way?"
In fact, they set off on the same day as Dali Temple Physician Lu and others, but they were faster.
Xibing asserted: "It will take at least a day for them to arrive."
Man Bao yawned, and said to Xibing: "You go and wash up too, we'll rest today, and start working after we've recharged our energy."
Xibing asked in a low voice: "My lord, the servants of the palace are guarding outside. Will it be inconvenient for us to live in the palace?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "It's more convenient to live in the palace. It's okay. I'll borrow Prince Gong's reputation later. I'll beg him later."
Xibing always felt that when the lord said begging him, he was talking to him, but didn't everyone in the family say that the relationship between the lord and Prince Gong was not very good
Man Bao leaned on the bed and took a nap. After recovering enough energy, he dressed up and went to see Prince Gong's family refreshed.
When Prince Gong saw her, he snorted and turned his head away.
The concubine raised her smile and asked, "Master Zhou, is he still used to living here? If there is anything missing, tell me, and I will ask my servants to buy it for you."
Man Bao smiled and said: "It's very good, the things inside are complete, and there is nothing for the lower officials to buy."
She also warmly greeted the princess, "How is the princess? I think you look a little tired. Would you like to show me?"
The princess was naturally willing, and immediately sat down and stretched out her wrist.
Man Bao looked back slightly, and Xibing immediately came up with the medicine box.
Man Bao opened the medicine box and took out the pulse pillow to consult the princess.
Seeing that they could chat so well without his participation, Prince Gong couldn't help but snorted inwardly, and couldn't help but glance at the two of them.
