The Crown Princess lowered her head and looked at her flowers, finally understanding why Zhou Man was so confident yesterday.
Man Bao generously placed the flowers on the table for the Crown Princess to choose.
The Crown Princess picked a multi-colored flower, and a palace maid cut it out and put it into a hairpin for her.
Man Bao smiled and said, "I will give the rest to the princesses."
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, "They must like your gifts."
The group then turned to the imperial garden.
The Crown Princess went over in the chariot, and Man Bao nuzzled her chariot and walked over together.
When we arrived at the Royal Garden, it was still quiet inside, but the princesses had already arrived. The friends they invited were outside the palace, and it would take some time to come.
Seeing the flowers that Man Bao brought, Chang Yu, Ming Da and the other little princesses were shocked and gathered around to look at it.
Changyu instantly gave up on the flower she had chosen earlier and chose a purple flower on the hairpin. She tilted her head and looked at the bronze mirror with the hand of the palace maid, and said with a smile: "It's really beautiful. You can also have such a beautiful flower."
Are you willing to cut it?"
Man Bao smiled and said: "The Crown Princess said, as long as you are happy."
Chang Yu preferred to leave the flowers in the pot and admire them slowly. Even though she liked them very much, she couldn't bear to put the hairpin on her head.
Usually when she chooses the hairpin, she always likes the one who ranks second in her heart.
Mingda and the other two little princesses also picked out the flowers they liked and cut them, but the two little princesses were too small and couldn't clip the flowers they picked out, so they planned to take them back and put them in a vase.
They were not familiar with Zhou Man, so after saying a few words, they shyly turned around and ran to the Crown Princess to talk to her.
Changyu and Mingda stood together and talked.
Chang Yu glanced at the Crown Princess who was not far away, and asked Man Bao with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, is the Prince's brother's illness recovered? I see that the Prince's brother and sister-in-law are in a very good mood these past two days."
Man Bao smiled and said: "I'm still getting acupuncture now, but I'm getting better."
She has been saying this since she received the crown prince's diagnosis, and has never changed her rhetoric. People outside can't tell whether it is true or false.
Mingda took Manbao and changed the subject, "I heard before that you love flowers and plants, and your sister-in-law gave you a lot of expensive flowers and plants. I thought it was just rumors. Now it seems that you are really good at growing flowers and plants. I
Remember last year you said you wanted some flowers and plants from the palace?"
Man Bao perked up and said happily: "I just like to collect flowers and plants that I have never seen before. Cultivating and studying them like this is very popular."
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Everything in the world can be used as medicine, it just depends on whether the medicine is suitable or not. I think growing flowers and plants is the same as studying medicine."
Mingda nodded, took her hand and said, "I'll show you, what do you want?"
Manbao didn't expect Mingda to be so successful, so he was so happy that he turned around and ran away with her hand in hand.
Changyu:……
When she was hesitating whether to go together or talk to the Crown Princess, a palace official came to report: "Your Highness, the girls from the Liu and Li families are here."
Chang Yu immediately said: "Invite them over quickly."
She turned around and went to greet her friends.
The queen asked the princesses to hold a flower banquet, but she didn't want to show up. After all, if she showed up, the other concubines in the palace would also come out.
By then, the children will feel uncomfortable and their time will be wasted on saluting.
So not only did she not come, she also ordered the concubines in the harem not to show up.
As the sister-in-law of the princesses, the Crown Princess is here to take charge.
Usually the Crown Princess is in charge of such activities among the princesses in the palace, and she doesn't need to do anything. She just sits there and acts as a calming needle to prevent the children from causing trouble.
Manbao and Mingda had already run far away. With Keke guiding her, Manbao pulled her straight towards the flowers and plants he wanted to collect.
A group of maids and chamberlains followed behind, and they were smart enough to bring flower pots and small flower picks.
Mingda didn't let them come near to serve him, and waved them away to keep them away. He took the flower hoe and dug flowers and plants with Manbao.
Man Bao planted the excavated plant into a flower pot, handed it to the palace attendant behind him, and then took Ming Da to continue to the next plant.
After a while, she stood under a tree full of flowers. She raised her head and looked at the lush and beautiful flowers and couldn't help but exclaimed, "These magnolia flowers are more beautiful than peonies."
Mingda turned to look at the light yellow peonies on her hair and said with a smile, "Do you like little flowers?"
Man Bao nodded, "There are so many flowers that you can put them in a basin to appreciate them. The hairpins don't look good."
Mingda pointed to the Xinyi flowers blooming on the branches and asked, "Do you want it?"
"want!"
The center of the flower is pinkish purple, but the flowers are light pink with clear layers. There are about twenty flowers on one branch, well-proportioned and very beautiful.
Man Bao likes this kind of flower the most.
Both of them cut the flower branches themselves without any help from the palace attendants.
Mingda chose the most beautiful branch for her. Both of them are not very tall, so they stood on their toes and pulled it before cutting it.
After reluctantly cutting it off, Manbao sniffed it and was very happy, "The flowers smell good too."
The two of them took the flowers and continued walking down. The palace people lagged far behind. Mingda then asked Manbao, "How is my mother's health lately?"
Man Bao nodded, "Your Majesty's condition is under control. As long as she doesn't get sick, she'll be fine."
Mingda also took a flower in his hand and sighed: "My mother always thinks too much and I'm afraid she can't be at peace."
Man Bao then turned to smile at her, "You're not in good health, and you're still so young, so you worry so much."
She said: "Since you know that thinking too much is bad for your health, why do you think too much?"
Mingda didn't expect it to happen to her. She defended: "It's a physical problem. I don't have to worry about it. I'm only a year or two younger than you. When you study medicine, don't you think more than me?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I study, but I rarely worry."
She said: "Shen Haoshen, don't worry too much."
Mingda thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, then we don't want to think about anything today but just play?"
Man Bao nodded happily: "Okay."
The two simply let go of the fun and explored the imperial garden. Under Keke's guidance, they dug out many flowers and plants that she had never seen before.
After digging the imperial garden, Mingda glanced at the already bustling garden center, pulled Manbao and walked out, "Suddenly I felt it was boring. Why don't we go somewhere else to see if there are any flowers and plants you want?"
"OK!"
The two of them just ran away.
The palace maids and chamberlains behind them followed up with cheers. The flowers and plants they dug out were either buried in flower pots or wrapped in leaves for the palace servants to collect.
When the queen finished handling the palace affairs and asked a few children about it, she realized that Mingda and Zhou Man were not in the imperial garden, but were digging around the palace. Now I heard that they all dug up the front hall of Taiji Hall.
Went.
Queen:......
She rubbed her forehead and said to Aunt Shang: "Go and bring the two children back quickly. The front is where the great ministers come in and out. It would be bad if they collide."
Aunt Shang quickly agreed and turned to find the princess and Zhou Man.
