Even Chang Yu and Ming Da spotted Kong and ran to see the excitement. Chang Yu stretched out his hand to open the box in front of my statue, but Man Bao knocked it down.
Man Bao said: "The consecration has not been completed, so you are not allowed to look at it."
Mingda was very curious, "What's in it? Why do you value it so much and even consecrate it?"
Man Bao chuckled and was about to speak when Chang Yu stretched out his hand and said, "I know, there is your birthday gift inside."
After saying that, he was a little unconvinced and said, "The gift you gave me last year didn't cost so much."
Man Bao said: "Do you know what it means to be light on etiquette but heavy on affection?"
Changyu: "Don't you think you value courtesy more than friendship when it comes to Mingda?"
Man Bao didn't talk to her, but explained to Ming Da: "Didn't you say last time that you were envious of us being able to go on a study tour? I just thought about making something for you, maybe it can protect you from the disease again, at least it will
To slow down your Qi disease, that’s why I begged Master Tianzun.”
Mingda has always kept a distance from ghosts and gods, neither believing nor slandering them, so he laughed out loud and said with crooked eyebrows: "Thank you, but why do you have to do this?"
Man Bao knew that she didn't believe it, and she didn't believe it herself, but the thing was indeed real. She smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt to give it a try. It's just more troublesome to get in and out of the palace, and it takes an hour every day."
.”
Manbao pulled the two of them to sit by the bed. She had no choice but to do so. Her room was small, and a small bookshelf was added. There was no room for extra tables and chairs, let alone a wooden couch.
She said to Chang Yu: "You are not sick, so I won't bother you."
Chang Yu didn't care very much. She kicked off her shoes and sat cross-legged on her bed. After nodding, she asked in a low voice: "Are you going to class at the Imperial Medical Office tomorrow?"
Man Bao nodded.
Changyu took out a fan pendant and gave it to her, blushing slightly and saying, "Then give it to him for me when you pass by the Imperial College."
Although she didn't mention him by name, Man Bao still understood. She was so surprised, "Why did you take the initiative to give him something again?"
"What do you mean I took the initiative? This time he took the initiative," Chang Yu said: "Lao Wu returned to the palace after leaving the palace yesterday and brought me some things."
Mingda burst out in joy and said with a smile: "It's not just a few, it's a lot."
She said to Man Bao: "Maybe it's because he didn't meet you yesterday, or he knew it was inconvenient to ask you to carry things, so he specially blocked Brother Wu outside the palace to help."
The fifth prince is about to get married. The emperor seems to want to marry the fifth prince before the Queen Mother... and open the palace, so he is preparing for his marriage recently, and even the wedding date has been set. It is the first day of June, which is a very good day.
Originally, because of Xu Yu's incident, the emperor wanted him to go and join the feudal clan as soon as possible. He even calculated the time, and the fifth day of June was a good day.
The ministers in the court also agreed. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry were preparing for his appointment as a vassal, and the Ministry of Personnel was already selecting the prince's chief minister.
Things developed so fast that it was hard to say how reluctant the fifth prince was. Concubine Yang couldn't help crying, but she didn't cry to the emperor, she cried to the queen.
After all, the queen took pity on her, and after being cried for two days, she had sex with the emperor. Finally, the emperor finally agreed that the fifth prince would stay in the capital for a month after opening the palace and getting married, so that the new princess could get familiar with the royal family, and then go there in July to become a vassal.
Concubine Yang felt better now and began to concentrate on preparing for her son's wedding.
She only had this son. Originally, when her brothers and nephews were still alive, if he got married, the Yang family would definitely give him a lot of gifts, so that the family would be much richer.
Concubine Yang has a lot of money stored in her natal family.
As a result, the Yang family was exiled and driven back to their hometown, and all their property was confiscated. The money that originally belonged to her naturally flowed into the emperor's pocket.
If you don't come back.
So when the fifth prince got married, Concubine Yang had no choice but to give her own body to the fifth prince. The betrothal gift prepared by the emperor and the Ministry of Rites was a little short. The most important thing was that the child still needed a lot of things to go to the feudal clan.
Part of Yang Guifei's body was held by herself, and part of it was in the hands of the queen.
She was too young when she was given to the emperor by her father and brother, only thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, the queen had become a mother, and it was a time when maternal love was overflowing, so she took Concubine Yang with her.
Later, the Yang family continued to send money to Concubine Yang, with the intention of letting her manage the connections in the palace, but the palace was well managed by the queen, and she rarely needed to spend money.
It happened that the emperor had just registered at that time, and it was the most difficult time. Concubine Yang did not understand the outside world, but she could see that the life in the palace was difficult, so she gave the queen a lot of money at that time.
The Queen remembered it all for her, and spent part of it on the expenses of the palace, and later replenished it for her when she got rich; part of it was used to manage outside industries, which counted as her share.
Concubine Yang almost didn't care about these things, because the Yang family was really rich. She had worried about all kinds of things in her life, but she had never worried about money.
It wasn't until her parents' home was ransacked that she cried and went to get money from the Queen.
Mingda knew more, but she rarely talked about people behind their backs. Changyu was very interested in the news, and whispered to Manbao, "This time, Concubine Yang gave Fifth Brother a lot of money again and asked him to go out and buy some things.
Let someone take it to the fief first, in case there is nothing there."
She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I heard that I bought a lot of things to deliver to the Yang family."
Concubine Yang's natal family's house was confiscated. Although the women and children were not exiled but were simply driven back to their hometown, the family property was lost and life would definitely be difficult.
Although Concubine Yang is not familiar with worldly affairs, it does not mean that she does not know these tricks, so she specially asked the fifth prince to take some money out to take care of her parents' family.
But she is still too young after all, who can she hide these things from?
Do you think you can let the fifth prince use the shopping stall to spend money outside the palace?
But in fact, the emperor, queen, and even the prince and others knew about it. Even two princesses like Mingda and Changyu could hear about it, let alone the well-informed adults outside the palace.
Mingda then said: "There are still people who reported to the emperor for impeachment. But the queen mother told the emperor that the Yang family is a sinner in Dajin and to us, but to Concubine Yang, she is still a family member. If she is cruel, what should we do?
She is said to be cold-blooded and cold-hearted. She is now taking care of the women and children of her parents' family, and if she is to be impeached, why should she be harshly punished?"
"That's why my father suppressed the zhezi, and the matter was settled," Mingda said: "Wei Yu should also know these things, so he found an accurate man in the market and entrusted him to bring things to his sister.
Enter the palace."
Man Bao was very curious, "What did Wei Yu give you?"
Chang Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "It's nothing, just ordinary stuff. He made me a polo club."
The other things were incidental, but the polo pole caught her heart, so she asked Man Bao to help deliver a fan pendant to him.
Man Bao looked at her face and clicked his tongue. Ming Da found it interesting and clicked his tongue with her. Chang Yu was so embarrassed that he went to beat them.
The three of them started laughing and joking on Man Bao's bed.
