Obviously, the emperor didn't intend to give Zhou Man the princess mansion at the beginning to make up for the regulations, so the mansion was chosen temporarily.
The princess did not live in the capital before, so the mansion has been vacant for more than ten years.
Even if there are guards cleaning it every year, the house needs a lot of repairs, many places need to be repainted, and the roof needs to be repaired.
Zhou Man and the officials from the Ministry of Industry went around and asked, "Can you clean it up a year ago?"
The official was overjoyed and immediately said: "Yes, yes."
This time is sufficient, much more generous and reasonable than what the palace requested,
Mr. Zhou is still reasonable, unlike the palace, he directly asked them to clean up the house within ten days.
Such a big house has not been lived in for so many years, and I know with my toes that it can't be tidied up in ten days.
Zhou Man thought of the palace servants sent to her by the palace minister, and said: "I will send a few people over later, and I need to add some things to the house, so let them take care of it."
Officials should go down.
Ming Da asked: "Is it the palace man who was given to you by the internal inspection of the palace?"
Zhou Man nodded, "There are many people in my family. They come from the palace and have many rules. They are not comfortable living in my house, and neither are my family members, so let them come here earlier."
Mingda walked to the pond in the back garden and said with a smile: "There is only a small pond in the garden here, which is not comparable to the house in Chongyuanfang. Do you want to live here or there?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and said: "Live here, I heard that His Majesty wants to build the Daming Palace, and move all the palace to the Daming Palace in the future. This side is close to the Daming Palace and not too far from the Imperial Medical Office. "
Mingda was surprised, "You heard that too?"
Zhou Man nodded, "The Crown Prince mentioned it at the Xiaochao meeting. The Ministry of Rites thought it was proper, and Qin Tianjian also thought it would be better if the court moved to Daming Palace."
She lowered her voice and said: "Our Imperial Medical Office has also stated its position. The Tai Chi Palace is located in a depression, and the humidity is too heavy. It is not good for the health of those who live there for a long time. The Daming Palace is much better."
Mingda: "The Daming Palace is almost finished. It's just that there are two palaces missing, but they all have a prototype. As long as the Ministry of Households can give money, it will definitely be repaired within two years."
"That's right, there are not many people in the palace now. If you want me to say, the current palace is enough, what matters now is the new imperial city over there." Zhou Man thought of something, smiled and said triumphantly: " If I move to Daming Palace, then it will be very convenient for me to enter the palace, and I can turn a corner from here and walk half way to enter the imperial city, which is much more convenient than going to Dianmao now."
Mingda also smiled and nodded.
Zhou Man looked around and felt that today's task was completed, "Let's go, let's go back. By the way, you are pretending to be sick now, is it really okay to run out like this?"
Mingda blinked, and asked puzzledly: "Did I run out? Didn't I stay in bed all the time? Master Zhou came to see me today and said that I caught a cold because of my poor health, so I should go out less in the future."
Zhou Man: "...you are right."
She can't compare to her ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense.
Zhou Man sent Mingda back to the Princess Mansion, and let the two children who had reunited after a long absence play together.
Before leaving, little girl Bai Ruoyu returned the wooden horse to little girl Bai Jingxing, and also gave her a golden Nine Links.
When the kid Bai Jingxing left happily holding the gift, the kid Bai Ruoyu also heaved a sigh of relief. The very funny Jiu Lianhuan was finally given away. The next time my grandfather asks again, he will have a reason, hahahaha...
Ming Da only thought that he didn't know him, and said to Zhou Man: "Sister Changyu will arrive in the capital in two days, I can't go out, so you come to my house when the time comes, and we will get together at my house."
Respond to Zhou Man.
Not only Princess Changyu is coming to the capital, but other princes and princesses are also arriving in Beijing one after another, and Prince Gong is still the first to arrive.
But this time the emperor didn't keep him in the palace, but let him live in Prince Gong's Mansion in the capital.
At this time, the emperor's physical condition became a mystery. No matter how much the emperor liked Prince Gong, he would not dare to let him live in the palace.
As soon as Prince Gong arrived in the capital, he went to visit Mingda in the princess mansion the next day. He saw her standing on the porch walking her son with a ruddy face, and was speechless for a while, "Is this what you mean by being sick?"
Mingda said coquettishly: "Third brother, I was sick before."
Prince Gong frowned slightly.
Mingda stepped forward and said: "Third brother, I agreed in the letter before, I have something to ask for your help."
Prince Gong frowned tightly and said, "What kind of monk do you really want to deal with from Tianzhu? Hasn't Father stopped taking the medicine? I went to the palace yesterday to see that Father's face looks good. I heard from the palace people that Zhou Man and Xiao are now The courtyard is recuperating the father's body."
Although the courtiers and palace people did not know the physical condition of the emperor, they had eyes to see and brains to think.
Some time ago, although Zhou Man was promoted, she didn't care about her affairs. She neither went to the Imperial Medical Office nor to the Imperial Hospital. Officials and edicts couldn't invite her to see a doctor, but she was getting thinner and thinner day by day. Go to the palace to see the emperor, and stay at home the rest of the time.
But two days ago, the emperor suddenly rewarded Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou Man, and also made up for Zhou Man's princess regulations. I think I also know what Zhou Man was busy with a while ago, but now the emperor's situation has improved.
In Prince Gong's view, since the emperor had no intention of pursuing Monk Tianzhu and wanted to expose the matter, then they didn't need to make extra troubles, "Let's just let this matter pass."
Mingda: "...the third brother is unwilling, why should he return to Beijing at my invitation?"
"I'll come back to see my father," Prince Gong said confidently, "And it's almost the Chinese New Year, I'll come back to celebrate with my father and queen."
Mingda took a deep breath and suppressed his annoyance, "I don't care, I'm going to have trouble with him, you just say whether to help or not."
Prince Gong frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, how can you help?"
As soon as he heard that she really intended to make Monk Tianzhu bleed, Prince Gong looked at her suspiciously, "Isn't this an excuse? You really intend to ask for his blood."
"Yes, I want his blood."
"What about after that?" Prince Gong became more and more suspicious, and asked: "After getting his blood, do you want to say that his blood is useless, that it is a lie to live two hundred years, and then let the emperor cut him off? "
Mingda said: "It is enough to get his blood, I can't pretend to be sick for a lifetime, and I will say it will be useful when the time comes."
Prince Gong was sure, "You went all this way just to get his blood? Did you want this blood, or did you want it for someone else?"
Mingda froze, and said with an unchanged expression: "Of course I want it, I just want to scare him and make him bleed."
Prince Gong looked at her expression, sneered after a long while, turned around and left with his sleeves thrown.
Mingda frowned and watched, but didn't stop him.
The grand lady was a little worried, "Princess..."
"It's okay, if third brother doesn't want to help, he can wait for other people," Mingda said, "He and Zhou Man have a bad relationship, it's normal that he doesn't want to."
