The Crown Princess wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but laugh when she saw him staring at Man Bao while eating with gusto, "I don't know what's wrong with this child, I feed him egg custard and meat soup all by myself."
He is always unhappy, but when he sees people eating, he eats with relish."
Man Bao said: "I feel like it doesn't taste good after eating too much."
She said: "Children are like this. They always think other people's food is more delicious. Madam, your taro is so delicious. Where did it grow?"
"They are grown in Xishan. The soil there is not good, but taro is particularly good for growing. Your Highness also likes to eat it, so Zhuangzi sent a lot of it. It is not only roasted, but also delicious when cooked. If you like it, I will send someone to it later."
I will collect a bag for you so that you can take it back when you leave the palace, or you can bake it by the stove even in the palace."
Man Bao said: "It's not cold enough yet, and the palace hasn't given out charcoal. I'll take it home to eat."
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Man Bao asked the Crown Princess after careful consideration, "My Majesty, if you say that the Crown Prince and I resign, will the Crown Prince agree?"
The Crown Princess was surprised, "Why are you thinking of resigning?"
She sat up straight, frowned and asked, "Did someone in the palace bully you?"
"No, no," Man Bao quickly explained, "I want to go on a study tour."
Crown Princess: "...you still use study tours?"
It's not surprising that she was surprised. In her opinion, Zhou Man's medical skills were already very good. Now he was compiling medical books in Chongwen Hall. He was already a "teacher", so why did he still study abroad?
Man Bao said: "There are still too few patients in the palace, and there are also few patients who can be contacted in Beijing. I want to go further afield to see."
Man Bao did not hide his thoughts and said: "I know most of the doctors in the capital, and I have learned all the medical skills that can be learned. Those that cannot be learned should not be learned in recent years, so I want to take a walk outside.
Let’s go and meet more patients and doctors, and also see plants that I haven’t seen outside, and there may be medicinal stones suitable for medicine.”
Crown Princess: "...The people in the capital are the largest, right? There aren't enough patients here for you to see?"
Man Bao said: "I'm talking about diseases. There are endemic diseases in this world, that is, there will be some unique diseases in one place, and the same disease is different in one place and another place, and the medicines will be different.
."
"For example, the medicines used to treat wind-cold in Beijing are different from those used in Luojiang County, and the medicines used in spring, summer, and autumn and winter are also different..."
The Crown Princess listened to her talk and concluded that there were so many diseases in the world and she wanted to go out and see them.
Naturally, the Crown Princess was unwilling to do so privately, but she felt that she could not refuse. After all, after knowing her for three or four years, the Crown Princess felt that she still understood her.
This little girl is soft-spoken. If she becomes stubborn, she might decide to leave.
So she just made a sad look, "But what will happen to His Highness once you leave?"
Man Bao said: "There are Dr. Xiao and others in the palace. Their medical skills are better than mine, and the prince can't have children in the past two years, right?"
Still keeping filial piety, no matter what, he doesn't dare to let his concubines have children. Taking a step back, even if he wants to have children, he is in good health now. There is not much difference between Man Bao here and not here. Now
The body basically depends on nourishment. As long as you don't drink too much and don't stay up late to consume your essence and blood, there is basically no big problem.
Crown Princess: "...But my children and I are used to you. How can we be used to other doctors?"
Man Bao took the opportunity to recommend her student Liu Sanniang, "She is now a medical assistant. She has learned acupuncture well, and her ability to diagnose pulse and prescribe prescriptions is not weak. I estimate that in three or two years, she will be certified as an imperial physician."
If your Majesty feels uncomfortable, you can call her; if you are seriously ill, you can call Dr. Xiao and Dr. Liu."
She said: "Even if I have serious or emergency cases in the palace, I have to ask Dr. Xiao and Dr. Liu for reference."
In the end, the Crown Princess failed to convince Man Bao, but she was almost convinced by Man Bao.
Because Man Bao said, "I will see more patients when I go out and learn more medical skills. After returning to Beijing, I will treat everyone and benefit people inside and outside the palace."
A person's life is so long, especially her son, who is only over one year old now. Who knows what diseases he may encounter in the future?
You can't just let the doctor do research and study when you meet him, right?
Therefore, if a very powerful doctor comes back after learning many skills, that will be the greatest guarantee for life.
Therefore, the Crown Princess was actually a little moved by her persuasion.
So she mentioned this matter when the prince came to her room to play with her son in the evening.
The prince asked: "Where does she want to study?"
The princess was stunned for a moment and then said: "I forgot to ask her."
The prince stopped asking and decided to ask someone to come and ask him the next day. It turned out that the next day was a holiday and Zhou Man left the palace early in the morning.
When the servant sent by Eunuch Wu arrived at Chongwen Hall, he had already left the palace.
Prince:......
He was silent for a moment and then waved his hand, "Let's ask again when she comes back."
It's not an urgent matter anyway.
Eunuch Wu agreed.
Man Bao returned home and happily met Bai Shan Bai Erlang and others. The first thing he said was, "Is there a banquet at home?"
Bai Shandao: "Grandma had an idea, but she decided not to do it when she heard that we were going on a study tour. But she wanted to invite some tables in a restaurant, let us invite some classmates and friends, and invite some relatives to have a meal at home.
alright."
Man Bao then said, "Then I'll invite those students from the Western Regions in the Imperial Medical Office, and how about we meet again?"
"OK."
So the three of them went back to draw up a list.
The Imperial Medical Office has admitted three students from the Western Regions. In the past two years, Manbao has learned some simple Western Mandarin from them and learned about some conditions in the Western Regions, so he wants to invite them this time.
Since three students who are not particularly close to him have been invited, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao should also be brought along. After all, they are his direct disciples, right?
Yin You and Liu Huan must be invited. Since they are on good terms with each other, Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang will also be invited to Chongwen Hall. Yi Ziyang also passed the exam this time and ranked 29th in Chongwen Hall.
Only two of them, he and Bai Shan, were hit.
Not only did Zhao Liulang play well with them, but he was also somewhat related to them now, so he wanted to invite them too.
Bai Shan frowned as he wrote down the list and said, "This way, it will be hard not to invite others."
After all, they had a good time with Zhao Liulang, so it would not be good to hire Zhao Liulang alone.
Bai Erlang said: "Wei Chen must invite us to the Imperial College. I was thinking that since all my classmates from the Imperial College have been invited, should I invite Ji Hao?"
If even Ji Hao wants to be invited, then Peng Zhiru and Lu Xiaofo should also be invited.
Because they had a better relationship with them when they were in the Imperial College, and they, like Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, were admitted to the Imperial College by the same group of Enyin.
This is a true classmate, and the relationship will be discussed in the future when you become an official.
