At this time, Zhou Man still didn't take the pill and Master Naluoer very much in her heart. She knew about the pill, not only did she see the temple master and the others practice it in the Xuandu temple, but she also often watched the temple master and the others in her hometown. For alchemy, I have practiced it myself, and it is actually similar to the pills they make.
Some of the more precious elixir needed to be added with cinnabar, but that stuff was too expensive, Zhou Man only watched the Taoist priests refine it twice, one was refined by the master of the Shouqing Temple, and the other was made by the master of the Xuandu Temple.
The other elixirs are actually similar to what Zhou Man and the others usually make. They are all made from plants and trees, and they are medicines for people to treat diseases.
So Zhou Man felt that it was a very serious thing to look at pills, and it was her job as an imperial physician.
Until she heard the name of the pill.
Fulai sent Zhou Man to the Tai Chi Hall and withdrew respectfully, letting Zhou Man deal with it by himself.
Zhou Man looked down at the casual clothes and shoes on his body, touched his hair again, and finally sighed, forget it, anyway, it is still neat, the emperor saw that she would go to the palace to report on her duties as soon as she entered Beijing, so she should not be punished for her indecency sin
Zhou Man and the guard guarding the door cupped their hands and said, "Please inform me that the Qingzhou Medical Department has ordered Zhou Man to see His Majesty."
The guard was an acquaintance. He glanced at her and turned to go in.
After a while, Gu Zhong came out to invite her with a smile. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Man, dressed in casual clothes, with only a pearl flower on his head and a wooden hairpin, stopped, "Here, Mr. Zhou, why don't you In official uniform?"
Zhou Man spread his hands and said: "What can I do? I just entered the capital... Oh, I missed His Majesty very much as soon as I entered the capital, and I had a lot to say to Your Majesty, so I couldn't wait to go home and freshen up before entering the palace. Lord Gu, is Your Majesty free to listen to my report?"
"come in."
Hearing this sound, Gu Zhong swallowed the words as soon as he reached his mouth, and immediately stepped aside, bent down and respectfully saluted the prince who was standing behind him at some point.
The crown prince glanced at Zhou Man in disdain, and said to Gu Zhong: "Go and prepare lunch, my father wants to invite the courtiers to have a meal together."
"Yes!" Gu Zhong glanced at Zhou Man quietly, then winked in the direction of the prince calmly.
Zhou Man understood, and immediately followed the prince's footsteps, hugging his thigh tightly.
Entering the main hall, the discussion has come to an end temporarily, and the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair and chatting with his ministers.
In fact, there were not many ministers. Zhou Man glanced over and found that most of them were familiar faces, only about twelve or three people.
Zhou Man glanced at it, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and saluted.
The emperor's eyes were not very good, and he squinted at her for a long time before he said: "Zhou Man, why haven't you seen each other for two or three years, and you are so clear and plain? Did you suffer in Qingzhou?"
Zhou Man knew the emperor's preferences, he liked bright colors, especially gorgeous and luxurious ones.
In the past, when Zhou Man was in the palace, he mostly wore official uniforms. When he was not wearing official uniforms, the casual clothes were mainly in bright colors. There were very few dusty ones like today, especially since he didn't even have a decent accessory on his head. .
But... who takes a carriage and dresses up specially, and sleeps leaning against or lying down in the carriage, of course, the less jewelry on the head, the better;
As for the clothes, when going out, even in a carriage, there would be dust from time to time. Of course, clothes that are resistant to dirt are the main clothes, and she can just wear comfortable clothes inside, but can you explain these reasons to the emperor
Zhou Man got up, and said with a serious and respectful face: "Your Majesty, I didn't suffer much in Qingzhou. The reason why you see the minister's Qingqing is because I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me?"
"Actually, I also miss His Majesty, so as soon as I entered Beijing, I wanted to go to the palace to meet His Majesty, so that I didn't have time to wash and change clothes. Please forgive me for my disrespect."
The emperor was happy to hear that, before she knelt down completely, he waved and said, "It's not a big deal, why are you so stingy? Get up quickly."
The emperor also sighed, "I also miss Zhou Qing very much."
The ministers have long been accustomed to the emperor's sweet talk from time to time, but what they are not used to is Zhou Man's sweet talk.
He couldn't help raising his head to stare at her, and only looked away after confirming that Zhou Man was really standing in the middle of the hall.
Sure enough, putting it outside is the touchstone. It's only been a few years since I went out, and I've become glib when I come back.
The emperor was very happy to see Zhou Man, and asked someone to buy a seat for her under Xiao Yuanzheng, and said to the left and right: "Today Master Zhou returns to Beijing, we will not eat in this hall, go, let Gu Zhong Put the lunch in the garden."
The emperor smiled and said: "Zhou Aiqing hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to forget the scenery of the capital. Today we will enjoy the scenery while eating in the garden."
Then he said: "Go and invite Master Na Luo'er to come, Zhou Man, Master Luo'er also has good medicine skills, if you communicate with each other, maybe you will gain something in your medical skills."
Zhou Man likes to exchange medical skills with others, especially since she is a foreigner, who can learn about the medical level of foreign countries, so she nodded happily, and promised: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely exchange and learn with Master Naluoer* ********* nodded in satisfaction, but the ministers choked on the tea and saliva, exchange and study
They asked her to come back to deal with Na Luoer, not to make them a gang.
A minister looked at Zhou Man with a look of horror. Could it be that Zhou Man not only learned to be smooth-tongued but also learned to be a courtier after being released for five years
But when she returned to Beijing three years ago, she looked quite normal.
The crown prince glanced at the officials, turned his eyes away, and didn't bother to look at them. A group of cowards, even persuading his father to take a pill, would be afraid of wolves and tigers. Opening his mouth, he had already thrown all his father's pills into the water.
The place for lunch has been moved to a bright garden, and it’s bright. Although it’s winter, there are still green trees and... flowers in the garden, um, most of them are chrysanthemums.
But it's also pretty good, the most important thing is that the light is good.
Sitting in the open room, the seat was rearranged, and Zhou Man sat under the crown prince, obliquely opposite Mr. Tang, very close to the emperor, so close that the emperor finally saw her face clearly, he couldn't help but nodded with a smile Said: "Sure enough, he has grown up."
The emperor sat down on the throne and said to her: "Okay, let's talk while eating, if you want to report on your duties, you can talk about it here."
She had already thought up the job report on the way back, and wrote out all the notes, so she didn't have to think too much about it, so she just talked about it.
The emperor and his ministers had lunch with her words, not to mention, the meal was quite delicious after eating like this, and after the meal, they also gained a lot of things in their minds.
