Chapter 1111 Making Friends
The Clan Chronicles were actually a record of the genealogies of the aristocratic families of various regions. Man Bao flipped open the book and saw that the first page listed Cui Gan of the Boling Cui clan. It not only listed his family background, but also his current official position, title, etc.
Manbao read with great interest and thought to himself, if I could memorize the clan history, wouldn't I be able to recognize everyone I meet when I go out?
Manbao was watching intently when she heard a soft laugh in her ears. She looked up and saw a girl about her age holding the hand of a little girl and looking at her.
Seeing her looking over, the older girl asked with a smile, "Why do you like reading books like this? Don't you find it boring?"
Manbao recognized her. She was among a group of princes and princesses yesterday. Although he didn't know which princess she was, she must be the princess.
Manbao stood up and saluted.
Princess Changyu exempted her from the ceremony, and Manbao then replied, "This book is quite interesting. Has the princess read it?"
Princess Changyu sighed, "Even though I didn't want to read it, I was forced to memorize it. So please don't let me see it."
The little girl beside her smiled and looked at Manbao curiously, asking, "Are you the little doctor who treated our mother?"
Manbao looked at the little girl curiously and said, "My name is Zhou Man, I can't be called a miracle doctor."
Although she didn't ask the little girl's name, she stared at her with sparkling eyes and gave her own name...
The little girl smiled and responded happily, "My name is Mingda. Do you have a name?"
Manbao shook his head, "I'm still young. The master said that he would give me a wedding dress when I reach the age of marriage."
The Queen had already woken up. After changing her clothes, she came out and saw the three girls chatting happily. She walked over with a smile and said, "Changyu, are you disturbing Doctor Zhou from reading?"
Chang Yu stuck out her tongue, ran up to the Queen, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Mother, what book do you think she is reading?"
The queen looked at the book in Manbao's hand and was slightly surprised.
"That's right, she's reading the clan history, and she's actually enjoying it. Even my third brother doesn't really like this book."
"Nonsense! Your third brother memorized the clan history when he was nine years old."
"That was also memorized by rote. Third brother said it wasn't pretty at all. He almost vomited while reciting it."
The Queen took two steps forward, picked up the book, and looked at Manbao, "Doctor Zhou like reading this book?"
Manbao nodded and said, "It's okay, I just think it's quite interesting."
The queen smiled and handed the book to her, "Then this book is for you."
Manbao took it in surprise, "This is not good..."
"Well, just keep it since your mother gave it to you," Chang Yu said with a smile. "If you like it, I have a copy of it too, and I'll give it to you."
The Queen slapped her head in annoyance and said, "Naughty girl, that's for you to recite. Be careful that your father will check your homework."
Changyu sighed.
Manbao accepted the book and bowed to thank the queen.
Seeing that she just bowed to express her gratitude and did not kneel and kowtow like others, Mingda, who had been standing quietly by the side, looked up at her.
Manbao was putting away his book. When he lowered his head and met her gaze, he smiled at her.
The queen also sat on the couch, waved to Mingda, called her to her side, and asked softly, "How are you?"
"Much better. I wanted to see my mother yesterday, but they wouldn't let me come."
"Mother is ill, and you are ill too. Two sick people together will exacerbate their ill effects," the Queen said with a smile. "Mother wanted to see you too, but she held back, didn't she?"
She looked at Manbao and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou happens to be here today, why not let her take a look at you."
Manbao had discovered long ago that Princess Mingda's hair was a little dry and yellow, but she was obviously a princess, and her energy was also a little insufficient, which was somewhat similar to Yin Huo's symptoms.
Manbao immediately put down his hand to show her, and he found that she had quite a few problems.
She had some weak qi and weak spleen and stomach, but these were not the main problems. She found that she also had qi disease.
The Queen was obviously aware of this. She sighed and said, "I don't know if it's because of me, but this child has been in poor health since birth and often has difficulty breathing."
Manbao shook his head slightly and said, "The princess's respiratory illness is different from the queen's. It's more like a heart disease."
"Xiao Yuanzheng also said so, but he has never been able to cure it."
Manbao fell silent. She remembered that she had seen a similar case with Teacher Mo.
Manbao withdrew his hand and said, "I think I need to go back and look up some medical books."
The Queen smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhou."
She turned her head to look at Aunt Shang.
Aunt Shang immediately came forward with a box.
The Queen opened it and took out a badge from it and gave it to Manbao. "This is the badge for entering and leaving the palace. You are about the same age as them. Even if you don't go to the palace for medical treatment in the future, you can come in often to play with them."
Chang Yu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and shouted, "That's great, that's great! You can bring some things in for us when you come to the palace in the future. Third brother doesn't like to play with us anymore, and eldest brother is so strict that we can't buy anything from outside."
Mingda was also very happy, his eyes sparkling.
The queen glared at them but did not say anything to stop them.
Manbao took the sign, feeling that the Queen's move was not just to allow her to enter the palace to play with the two princesses.
But this was a good thing for her. With this brand, she had another path to choose from in the future. She happily accepted it.
In return, Manbao asked Mingda about her preferences and racked his brains to come up with two snack recipes that would strengthen her spleen and stomach.
Mingda took the recipe and read it over. The description made him think it was delicious. He swallowed hard and asked, "Can you make it?"
Manbao: "I can eat it."
Mingda looked up in surprise, "What?"
Chang Yu burst out laughing and said happily, "Everyone can eat, even me!"
The queen also smiled with her eyes curved.
Manbao lowered her head awkwardly. She was used to talking to Bai Shan and the others this way, so she was immediately taken aback. She coughed lightly and explained, "I remember many recipes, but my cooking skills are average. I don't know how to make them very well."
Koko, who had been silent the whole time, thought to himself: It's not that I don't know how to do it, it's that I can't do it at all, right?
The Queen turned her gaze slightly and asked with a smile, "You haven't learned cooking, have you?"
Manbao nodded with a red face.
Queen: "What do you usually do at home?"
"read?"
The Queen asked, "What book have you read?"
"I am reading the Spring and Autumn Annals in detail."
Since it was said to be a detailed reading, it means that she had read it before. The queen looked at Changyu, who was about the same age as Manbao.
Princess Changyu lowered her head.
The Queen smiled and said, "No wonder you were able to admonish His Majesty and the Crown Prince yesterday."
Manbao said, "I was reckless yesterday."
The Queen shook her head slightly. "Your advice was very good. If the monarch makes mistakes, as a subject, we must advise him. Good child, you did very well yesterday."
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
