"Your Highness is filial and should cultivate his virtue. How can you ridicule me and the Imperial Medical Office? If the Imperial Medical Office fails, the most saddened one will be the Queen. Is this your filial piety?"
Prince Gong opened his mouth and stared at Zhou Man for a long time, speechless.
The two of them were staring at each other, and Man Bao noticed that Prince Gong's eyes were even smaller. It seemed that he really needed to lose weight. Otherwise, if he continued like this, he would almost lose sight.
Prince Gong didn't say anything under Zhou Man's gaze, he stood up and left.
After a while, a maid came forward with her head lowered and said respectfully: "Master Zhou, Your Highness feels a little sore in his legs."
Man Bao said: "I want to prepare some more things so that His Highness can take a bath and wait."
Manbao went to prepare the medicine and moxibustion.
A lot of things had to be prepared right away, so it took a long time. She didn't even eat dinner.
But at this moment, Prince Gong had already taken a bath and was leaning on the soft couch. There was a brazier in the room, and he was covered with fox fur. He was warm and not too cold.
Princess Gong came in with a cup of health-preserving tea. Seeing that his coat was half open, she stepped forward to straighten it for him. "Although the room is warm, it is winter after all. Be careful if you get cold due to the wind."
Seeing that Prince Gong was silent, Princess Gong asked softly: "What is the prince thinking about?"
Prince Gong took the cup of health-preserving tea and took a sip. He stared at the cup and thought: "I am thinking whether I should intervene in the Luozhou Medical Department matter or not."
Princess Gong was stunned when she heard this, "Didn't the prince say at noon today that it is not good for the vassal prince to interfere in local affairs?"
Prince Gong has a leg problem. This year there is a lot of snow and water, and it is cold, so he is particularly uncomfortable. In addition, the emperor is on an expedition, and the prince is the supervisor of the country. In order to avoid suspicion and not cause greater conflicts, since the emperor went on an expedition, the outing activities of Prince Gong's palace have been basically
Everything stopped.
If someone hadn't reported that Zhou Man had gone to the county government office at noon, he wouldn't have known that such news had come out of the Luozhou Medical Department.
At that time, he knew that Zhou Man was using his power to threaten Magistrate Luo. Although he was not very happy, he did not disrupt the situation. However, he also did not allow people in the palace to participate more. He directly told the princess that if Zhou Man
He asked her to help but refused.
but now……
Prince Gong thought deeply: "The Imperial Medical Office was built by the Queen Mother, and now it is under the control of the Crown Prince..."
He couldn't help but snorted, but said: "The relationship between me and the prince will never be better in this life..."
"Your Majesty..."
Prince Gong raised his hand to stop what she was about to say, and sneered: "In the past two years, I have tried several times overtly and covertly, and the boss has learned to be patient. He seems to be more harmonious to me on the face, but I know that there is a threshold between us.
It’s impossible to get through, and I’m too lazy to warm up to his cold ass, but you and Xiang’er can have a better relationship with them.”
Princess Gong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, we are a family, we are all prosperous, and we are all devastated..."
Prince Gong shook his head, "The Queen Mother is still here. She... is rather harsh to me, but she likes you and Xiang'er very much. The Crown Prince has no ill feelings towards you either. You and the Crown Princess should get closer, and you don't need to be too much."
For a deep friendship, as long as the superficial affection is passable."
He said: "My fiefdom has been reduced twice. My father loves me very much. He will definitely find a way to add more to me before Daxing. The rest will depend on what the prince does in the future."
The princess was frightened, "Weren't you still talking about the Luozhou Medical Department just now?"
"We are talking about the Luozhou Medical Department," Prince Gong said: "It is useless for me to please the prince. There is a grudge between us, but you and Xiang'er can."
"This incident at the Luozhou Medical Department is an opportunity," he said: "I don't plan to interfere anymore. I will give you the staff of the palace. If Zhou Man asks you for help, you will take action. If you don't ask, you will
I just walked by to help."
He snorted coldly and said: "Didn't she go to save her apprentice's wife today? In two days, you can find an excuse to have people send some supplements to settle down. This is the attitude of the palace."
"Then His Highness is still showing off to Mr. Zhou like this?"
Prince Gong said confidently: "Without my evil, how can you show your thoughtfulness and understanding?" The main reason is that Zhou Man is too hateful, he hates her when he sees her, or it is a physiological dislike.
Prince Gong touched his belly, and his swollen face turned out to be a little sad. He felt a little hungry, but he was obviously full.
He glanced at the door and whispered: "The Chinese New Year is almost here. Is the kitchen ready to make meatballs? Let me cook a bowl and bring it to you."
Princess Gong: "...My lord, you have only had dinner for an hour."
Prince Gong said: "This is a midnight snack."
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou is here and waiting outside."
Prince Gong leaned on the soft couch with a look of despair. Princess Gong smiled, stood up and said, "Please come in, Mr. Zhou."
Man Bao came in with a lot of cakes and said, "I seemed to have heard about midnight snacks just now. Are we going to have midnight snacks now?"
She hasn't even had dinner yet.
Man Bao asked: "What are the late night snacks?"
So three-quarters of an hour later, Prince Gong, who was sweating a lot after the moxibustion, was pricked with many needles by Manbao, and then she sat on a chair nearby with a bowl of meatballs in her hands to eat.
Prince Gong closed his eyes tightly and refused to look at her. Unfortunately, he still needed to breathe through his nose, otherwise he would have closed his nose too.
Man Bao finished a bowl of meatballs, handed the bowl to the maid, and happily said to Princess Gong, "It's delicious. The chef in the palace is very good at cooking."
No wonder Prince Gong and the Young Prince have gained so much weight.
Princess Gong smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Zhou likes it, I will ask them to make it for you in a different flavor tomorrow. Our meatballs also come in many flavors."
Man Bao quickly agreed. Just as she was about to discuss it in depth, she noticed an unfriendly gaze. She turned around and met Prince Gong's fierce gaze.
After a pause, she felt that as a doctor, she could not torture patients, not to mention that she had just gained momentum today through the prestige of Prince Gong's palace, so she changed the subject and stopped talking about food, "How do you feel on your legs, Your Majesty? Is there any warm airflow?"
Is it flowing?”
Prince Gong's face looked a little better now, and he snorted before saying "hmm".
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with Prince Gong: "Your Highness has an injury on his leg, so it will be sore in snowy and cold weather. I wonder if there is a soup pool near Luoyang. If there is, Your Highness can buy a private courtyard. In winter,
It will be better if you stay near the hot spring and soak your feet."
He added: "Other than that, there are medicinal moxibustion and acupuncture, which can force out the rheumatism and coldness in the legs and help the Yang return to the original state. This will make you feel better, but..."
Man Bao looked at Prince Gong's body shape up and down.
Princess Gong was very concerned about Prince Gong's physical condition. After hearing this, she immediately asked: "Just what?"
"It's just that Your Highness should lose weight," she said: "Too much weight puts a heavy burden on the legs, especially on the joints and injured parts, so it is urgent to lose weight."
Prince Gong said: "My legs hurt and I can't climb the mountain."
Man Bao said confidently: "Don't worry, I have found several groups of weight loss exercises that don't fatten your legs. I will teach you when I make a plan later."
Prince Gong hated Zhou Man even more and wanted to kick him out, but when he looked at Princess Gong, he turned his head and silently endured it.
