The princess looked at it and put it away carefully. She turned around and saw her taking out another snack from the plate to eat. She asked with a smile, "Are you hungry? Yes, I'm afraid you haven't been there yet when Eunuch Wu went to pick you up."
It’s lunch, it’s getting dark now, why don’t you stay here and have dinner before leaving?”
The prince on the side suddenly smashed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, "Eat whatever you want, get out!"
The Crown Princess's expression was stagnant, and her expression did not change much. She just stood up and said, "Then I will send Doctor Zhou out."
Man Bao was also startled by the prince's move and quickly stood up with the prince. However, he was reluctant to put down the snacks in his hands, so he put his hands in his sleeves, saluted and followed the prince out.
When the prince saw it, he fell back in anger and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, "You worthless thing..."
The Crown Princess took Man Bao out. She left the palace people far behind and took Man Bao's hand towards the palace gate.
The two walked quietly for a while, and when they reached a fork in the road, the Crown Princess ordered the person behind her, "Go and ask Eunuch Wu to bring over the box in the study."
The palace attendant agreed and quickly went to the study to find Eunuch Wu.
The Crown Princess looked back and waved to the palace people. The palace people bowed and took five steps back. Seeing that the Crown Princess was still staring at them, they took another ten steps back.
The Crown Princess then withdrew her gaze, looked at Man Bao and said, "Doctor Zhou, please don't spread the word about today's affairs, including my illness and His Highness's."
Man Bao immediately said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will never leak the prince's condition to anyone. Even before, I have never told anyone about it."
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, "I know that the true or false news outside is our problem and has nothing to do with you."
She lowered her head and looked at Man Bao carefully, and then realized that it was only a year later, and she had grown a little more. She looked like a child a year ago, but now she has the appearance of a girl, and she seems to have grown taller.
Some.
The princess couldn't help but reached out and touched the hair tied on her head, and asked with a smile: "Are you fourteen?"
Man Bao nodded, and the Crown Princess remembered something. She couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked: "I remember last year you said you were fifteen, but after careful inspection, you haven't even celebrated your thirteenth birthday yet..."
Man Bao immediately said: "My birthday is the twelfth lunar month. I turned thirteen last month. I should be called fourteen. After the New Year, I will be one year older..."
The Crown Princess laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears. She stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Man Bao was speechless because she did not feel the Crown Princess's happiness.
The princess looked at her with tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "You are really a child. Now you are thinking about growing up quickly and wishing you could be two years older. But I don't know that in the future, you will think more about living slower, and even more
It would be better to be younger."
She still put her hands on Man Bao's hair, looked at her blankly and said: "But sometimes I am just like you. I feel that life is passing too slowly. I wish I could see it for ten years, until I grow old.
.”
Manbao couldn't bear it anymore, and defended in a low voice: "Empress, I don't think the days go by slowly, and I don't want them to go by fast. I feel that I am very busy every day now, and I think it would be better if the days were longer.
My teacher said that if I don’t sleep more, I may not be able to grow taller in the future, but if I sleep more, I won’t be able to finish all the things I have to do every day.”
The Crown Princess looked at Man Bao blankly, and after a while she murmured: "That's great..."
Looking at the energetic Man Bao, a tear came from the corner of the Crown Princess's eyes, but her face was filled with a smile. She took her hand back from Man Bao's head and said softly: "You are a good child.
Let’s put the matter of medical treatment aside for the time being. From now on, when you come to the palace, you will only treat His Highness the Crown Prince, and then go out after you have finished the treatment.”
Just as Man Bao was wondering, Eunuch Wu had already moved the box over in person.
The palace people still stood far away.
The Crown Princess opened the box in front of him, checked the contents with Man Bao and then closed it.
She said to Eunuch Wu: "This is the prince's reward for young doctor Zhou. You can personally deliver it to the car and find someone to take young doctor Zhou home."
He actually didn't ask Eunuch Wu to deliver it in person.
Although Eunuch Wu rarely sent Man Bao to Changqing Lane in person in the past, this was the first time the Crown Princess had given such instructions. Not to mention Eunuch Wu, even Man Bao was aware of it.
Eunuch Wu quickly agreed.
Although Man Bao was confused, he still bowed and followed Eunuch Wu.
The princess looked at her back as she walked away.
Man Bao and Eunuch Wu walked out along the palace wall. When they got out of the East Palace, Man Bao reached out and lifted a corner of the box, indicating that she wanted to share the burden with Eunuch Wu.
This stone is too heavy, not to mention the box is made of solid wood, which makes it even heavier.
Although Eunuch Wu didn't know what the use of this thing was, the prince had even sealed the study, and the prince's expression didn't look right. He felt that this was a very important thing, and he didn't dare to fake it.
He hugged her all the way and was already sweating profusely.
As soon as Man Bao stretched out his hand, he smiled at her, and then he and Man Bao slowly walked out along the palace wall carrying a box.
The little eunuch who had been following him glanced at the master, slowly slowed down and landed ten steps away.
Only then did Eunuch Wu move his mouth slightly and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, what are the prince and the princess..."
Man Bao carried the box with one hand and took out the snacks that he had been keeping with the other and gnawed on them. As he gnawed, he sighed quietly and said, "You should be more careful these days. His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood."
Eunuch Wu then smiled and said: "Your Highness has always been a little unhappy because of the issue of the heir."
Man Bao shook his head, that kind of unhappiness was different. Man Bao couldn't explain it for a moment, but she knew it was different.
Before she returned for the Chinese New Year, although the prince occasionally got angry, his temper actually improved a lot. He would occasionally make a few jokes with her, and he would never quarrel with the prince in front of her.
When she came back after the New Year and checked the prince's pulse for the first time, the prince was also angry, but that kind of anger was different from the anger after knowing that he had been poisoned.
She could feel that although he was angry at that time, he had not lost his mind yet. He was more anxious and annoyed because he had failed;
But after knowing that she was poisoned, she felt that the prince was no longer the prince a moment ago.
Man Bao's heart trembled slightly and he couldn't help but shudder.
Eunuch Wu was keenly aware of it. He was slightly shocked in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He smiled and changed the subject, "Is Little Doctor Zhou hungry?"
Man Bao glanced at the snacks in his hand and simply stuffed them all into his mouth and chewed them all.
Eunuch Wu:......
Helplessness flashed across Eunuch Wu's face, and he continued chatting, "It's also our fault that we were in such a hurry to get to the palace that we didn't have time to prepare some food for you. It's almost dark now, and you didn't even eat lunch.
"
Man Bao said: "It's okay. I can have dinner when I get home. I can just have an extra bowl of rice to make up for it."
