"Your Highness is filial. You should cultivate your virtue. How can you ridicule me and the Imperial Medical Office? If the Imperial Medical Office collapses, the empress will be the most sad. Is this your filial piety?"
Prince Gong opened his mouth and stared at Zhou Man for a while, speechless.
The two of them just stared at each other, and Man Bao found that Prince Gong's eyes were getting smaller, and it seemed that he was going to lose weight, otherwise, if this continued, his eyes would almost disappear.
Under Zhou Man's gaze, Prince Gong didn't say anything, just got up and left.
After a while, a maid bowed her head and said respectfully: "Lord Zhou, Your Highness feels a little sore in his legs."
Man Bao said: "I want to prepare some more things, let His Highness take a bath and wait."
Man Bao went to prepare things for moxibustion.
Many things had to be prepared in advance, so it took a long time, and she didn't even eat dinner.
But at this moment, Prince Gong had already bathed and leaned on the soft couch. There was a brazier in the room, and the body was covered with fox fur. It was warm and not too cold.
Concubine Gong came in with a cup of health-preserving tea, and seeing that his underwear was half open, she stepped forward to straighten him up, "Although the room is warm, it is winter after all, so be careful to catch a cold if the wind blows."
Seeing that Prince Gong did not speak, Princess Gong asked softly: "What is the prince thinking?"
Prince Gong took a sip of the cup of health-preserving tea, stared at the teacup and thought, "I'm thinking, should I intervene in the matter of the Luozhou Medical Department, or not."
Concubine Gong was taken aback when she heard the words, "Didn't the lord still say that the feudal lord is not good at meddling in local affairs at noon today?"
Prince Gong's legs are ill, and this year there is a lot of snow and cold, so it is especially uncomfortable. In addition, the emperor went out to fight, and the prince supervised the country in the court. In order to avoid suspicion and not cause greater conflicts, since the emperor went out to go out, the activities of Prince Gong's mansion have basically stopped.
If it hadn't been reported by the people below that Zhou Man had gone to the county government at noon, he would not have known about such a news from the Luozhou Medical Department.
At that time, he knew that Zhou Man was using his power to threaten Luo county magistrate. Although he was not very happy, he did not tear down the stage. But at the same time, he did not allow people in the palace to participate more, and directly told the princess that if Zhou Man Asked her to help and refused.
but now…
Prince Gong pondered and said, "The Imperial Medical Office was built by the Queen Mother, and now the Crown Prince is in charge..."
He couldn't help snorting, but said: "The relationship between me and the prince will not be good in this life..."
"My lord..."
Prince Gong raised his hand to stop what she was going to say, and said with a sneer, "I have tried several times in the past two years, and the boss has learned to be patient. He seems to be more friendly towards me on the surface, but I know that the barrier between us I can't make it through, and I'm too lazy to put my face on his cold butt, but you and Xiang'er can have a better relationship with them."
Concubine Gong couldn't help but said: "My lord, we are a family, we are all prosperous, and we are all damaged..."
Prince Gong shook his head, "The queen mother is still here now. The queen mother... is strict with me, but she likes you and Xiang'er very much. The prince has no ill feeling towards you. You don't need to be too close to the princess. friendship, it’s fine on the face of it.”
He said: "My fief has been cut twice, and my father loves me. I will definitely find a way to add some more to me before Daxing. The rest will depend on what the prince will do later."
The princess was frightened, "Didn't you still talk about the Luozhou Medical Department just now?"
"We're talking about the Luozhou Medical Department," Gong Wang said, "It's useless for me to curry favor with the prince, we have enmity, but you and Xiang'er can do it."
"The matter of the Luozhou Medical Office this time is an opportunity," he said, "I don't intend to interfere, I will give you the staff of the palace, if Zhou Man asks you for help, you will do it, if you don't ask, you Then I will help you by the side."
He snorted coldly and said: "Didn't she go to save her apprentice and daughter-in-law today? In two days, you find an excuse to send some supplements to settle down. This is the attitude of the palace."
"Then His Highness is still showing such a face to Mr. Zhou?"
Prince Gong said confidently: "Without this king's evil, how can you show your thoughtfulness and reason?" The main reason is that Zhou Man is too hateful, he hates her when he sees her, and it's because he hates her physically.
Prince Gong touched his stomach, his swollen face was a bit sad, he felt a little hungry, but he was obviously full.
He glanced at the door and whispered, "It's almost Chinese New Year, is the kitchen making meatballs? Have someone cook a bowl and bring it up."
Concubine Gong: "...My lord, it's not been an hour since you had dinner."
King Gong said: "This is supper."
"My lord, Mr. Zhou is here, waiting outside."
Prince Gong leaned against the soft couch with a look of lovelessness, Princess Gong smiled, got up and said: "Please come in Mr. Zhou quickly."
Man Bao came in with a lot of western cakes, and said: "I seem to have heard supper just now, are you going to eat supper now?"
She hasn't had dinner yet.
Man Bao asked: "What do you have for supper?"
So three quarters of an hour later, Prince Gong, who was sweating a lot after moxibustion, was given a lot of needles by Man Bao, and then she sat on a chair beside her with a bowl of meatballs and ate them.
Prince Gong closed his eyes fiercely, but he didn't want to look at her, but unfortunately he still needed to inhale through his nose, otherwise he wished he could close his nose too.
Man Bao finished eating a bowl of meatballs, handed the bowl to the maid, and happily said to Princess Gong: "It's delicious, the chef of the palace is very good at cooking."
No wonder both Prince Gong and Xiao Shizi gained so much weight.
Princess Gong smiled and said, "It's good that Mr. Zhou likes it. I'll ask them to make it for you tomorrow. Our meatballs also come in different flavors."
Man Bao responded quickly, and was about to discuss in depth when she noticed an unfriendly gaze. She turned her head to look, and met Prince Gong's fierce gaze.
After a meal, Man Bao felt that as a doctor, she couldn't torture patients, not to mention that she had just gained power through the prestige of Prince Kung's Mansion today, so she changed the topic and stopped talking about food, "How does the prince feel on his legs at this time? Is there any warm air?" Is it flowing?"
Prince Gong's face looked a little better now, he snorted before "hmm".
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with Prince Gong: "Your Highness has an injury on his leg, so it will hurt in snowy and cold weather. I don't know if there is a soup pool near Luoyang. If so, His Highness can buy a separate courtyard. It will be better to soak your feet if you live by the soup pool."
He said again: "Other than that, there are medicinal moxibustion and acupuncture, which can force out the rheumatism and coldness on the legs, help the Yang to return to the original, it will make you feel better, but..."
Man Bao looked Prince Gong's figure up and down.
Princess Gong was very concerned about Prince Gong's physical condition, and immediately asked, "Just what?"
"It's just that Your Highness should lose weight," she said, "Too much weight will put a heavy burden on the legs, especially the joints and injured parts, so weight loss is urgent."
King Gong said: "My king's leg hurts, I can't climb the mountain anymore."
Man Bao said confidently: "Don't worry, I have found several sets of weight loss exercises without fat legs, and I will teach you when I make a plan later."
Prince Gong hated Zhou Man even more, and wanted to throw him out, but when he looked at Princess Gong, he turned his head away and endured it silently.
