Man Bao stepped on the chair, took down the top book and flipped through it. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yuanzheng, who was frowning not far away, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you? It's been a long time today."
Are you unhappy every day?"
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and said: "I have something on my hands. Today is the day for Your Majesty to ask for Ping'an pulse. Doctor Liu went to the Imperial Medical Office to attend classes."
Man Bao immediately volunteered, "I'll go for you."
Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help but look up at her. Seeing how excited she was, he asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to go?"
"Aren't you not free?" Seeing Xiao Yuan looking at her intently, she said: "Well, I miss His Majesty a little bit, so I can just go and see him."
Xiao Yuanzheng had a look of disbelief. Yesterday was the 15th day of the lunar calendar and it was the Great Court Meeting. Didn't she just go there?
But Zhou Man opened his round eyes and stood on the chair holding the booklet and asked, "Do you want me to go for you? If not, I will lend you the booklet to read."
Xiao Yuanzheng took a look at the booklet in Zhou Man's hand. The row in that row was filled with the life records of the late emperor and concubine. He knew that Zhou Man had recently been writing down symptoms from pregnancy to childbirth and various medications. This should be used for research.
Xiao Yuanzheng only hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, you can go for me."
Zhou Man was in the sixth grade at Taiyuan Hospital, just on the threshold of being able to ask for a safe pulse for the emperor. She was familiar with the emperor, so there should be no problem.
Man Bao immediately stuffed the book back and said to Dr. Lu, who was on duty today: "I won't borrow it for the time being."
I jumped off the chair and went to pack my medicine box.
Doctor Lu frowned and complained to Xiao Yuanzheng, "Jiangzheng, is it really okay for Zhou Man to see His Majesty like this?"
Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Zhou Man is very measured. Things are all rushing together today. I have been to see the Queen Mother and I have to see Prince Gong. Please take more care of the Queen Mother here."
Imperial Physician Lu opened his mouth to speak. He was busy, but they were not busy. He was also a sixth-grade imperial physician, and he could also ask for Ping'an's pulse for the emperor.
But it was difficult to say this kind of thing, so Doctor Lu could only hold it in.
So in the afternoon, Manbao appeared in the emperor's study carrying a medicine box.
The emperor stretched out his hand and looked at her curiously, "Why are you here to give me a safe pulse?"
As long as he is not sick, Zhou Man is basically not responsible for his Ping'an pulse. After all, she has to give Ping'an pulse to the queen, princesses, and several concubines in the harem. She is one of the busiest doctors in the imperial hospital.
.
Man Bao said: "Xiao Yuan is busy today, and Dr. Liu has gone to class."
How many people are there including Imperial Physician Lu?
However, when the emperor saw that Zhou Man had put his hand on his pulse, he did not ask any questions.
Ping Anmai, the process was familiar to both of them, and the emperor answered a basket full of routine questions about what he had eaten, what he had drank, and whether he had slept well.
Then Zhou Man asked: "Your Majesty, have you been in a good mood these past two days? Have you been angry?"
The emperor glanced at her and said, "You also know that I will be angry."
Man Bao then remembered that the emperor seemed to have had a quarrel with Mr. Old Tang during the court meeting yesterday, but it didn't seem serious and he wouldn't be offended, right?
Man Bao asked, "Would you like me to give you a few injections to relieve your depression?"
The emperor hesitated, but finally couldn't hold it back and went to the inner room to change clothes. After a while, he lay down on the couch.
Gu Zhong smiled and put a piece of silk cloth on his back to protect him from the cold. Man Bao persuaded him while pricking the needle: "Your Majesty, although it is human nature to be happy, angry and sad, being angry all the time is not good for the body."
"Well, you should talk to Wei Zhi more about this."
Man Bao: "...Your Majesty, shouldn't you be thinking about how to control your emotions and make yourself less angry?"
The emperor said: "I have learned to cultivate Qi for decades, and now my temper is very good. What will it be like if I cultivate it further?"
He doesn't want to use the word "coward" to describe himself.
Very good, the emperor blocked all the words Man Bao had prepared in advance.
She sighed, the other person was in a bad mood, but how could she bring it up?
The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he heard her sigh, "Why, you have troubles at such a young age?"
"Why not? Although I am young, I have a lot to do with my studies, career, and family." Man Bao took acupuncture points to prick the emperor and talked to him while pricking them. "But I rarely get angry.
So I’m in pretty good health.”
The emperor felt that he was a little angry again at this moment, or he was angry because of the doctor, "Who can make you angry?"
"That's a lot," Man Bao said quickly, "Bai Shan always bullies me, and Bai Er always helps him, but I'm rarely arrogant."
The emperor didn't feel better, but felt even more upset, just like when he and Wei Zhi and others said that the queen bullied him.
After Man Bao finished speaking, he remembered something and forcefully turned the topic to Bai Erlang, "But my third junior brother is still pretty good and will help me occasionally."
The emperor thought she was changing the subject, and asked cooperatively: "Well, your third junior brother is fair?" In fact, in his heart, he felt that her junior brother was adding firewood to the fire.
Man Bao didn't know this, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's okay."
Man Bao gave the emperor acupuncture and wanted to ask him several times what kind of consort he planned to choose for Ming Da, but he opened his mouth and still did not ask. The timing was not good at this moment.
After Man Bao gave the emperor the acupuncture, he felt much better, but Man Bao left in a normal state.
Gu Zhong had long seen that Zhou Man was worried, but he couldn't guess what it was, but it seemed to be related to the emperor.
So when he was serving the emperor to change his clothes, Gu Zhong said, "Master Zhou seems to have something on his mind."
The emperor was lying on his stomach when the needle was inserted, and he asked: "Is there any?"
Gu Zhong smiled and nodded.
The emperor thought for a while and then hummed: "No wonder she took the initiative to ask for my pulse. Since she didn't tell me, we just pretend we don't know."
But I was somewhat curious in my heart, what could Zhou Man do to him?
Within two days, the emperor vaguely guessed it, because it was rare for their family to get together to eat together.
The emperor hugged the little grandson and teased him for a while, watching him carefully move his buttocks while sitting on the couch, then he smiled and sat aside with the queen to watch.
At this time, the prince asked the emperor, "Father, has chosen Mingda's consort?"
Mingda and Changyu sat in the small room behind the screen and looked at the two sets of clothes the princess had brought. They were made by her mother's embroiderer. She thought they looked pretty, so she gave them to the two sisters-in-law.
The emperor could still faintly hear the princess saying, "It will work if you slightly change the waist and shoulder measurements. This simple and elegant one is suitable for Mingda."
The emperor sighed and said: "How can it be so easy? I sent a letter to Wang Min and Lu Hui, asking them to let the young disciples of the clan come to Beijing to take a look."
The prince was curious, "They agreed?"
The emperor was very depressed, "Wang Min did not refuse, but Lu Hui did not agree, saying that he was busy recently and had no time to go to Beijing."
In addition to the Wang family and the Lu family, the emperor also talked to some of the better ministers in the court and wanted to see their young children who were not engaged.
