Chapter 1259: Smart
"Those aristocratic families have as many books as you do, not to mention good teachers. They have been practicing medicine for generations."
"That's because I'm smart." Manbao felt that Teacher Mo and the Encyclopedia couldn't tell anyone else, so this was the only point he couldn't refute.
The prince sneered and asked, "There are so many smart people in this world. How smart can you be?"
Man Bao said, "Maybe I'm smarter than most people in this world. I was very young, so young that before I could even talk or walk, people already believed I was the smartest person in our entire state. And maybe the smartest person in our state is even smarter than the smartest person in other states. Then I would be the smartest person in two states, three states, or even many states."
The prince was stunned for a moment holding his tea. He had seen many people flattering themselves, but this was the first time he had seen someone flatter himself like this.
Manbao had her own logic. She said seriously, "Reading and thinking will make you smarter. The smartest people in other states may not have the opportunity to study, or they may not be diligent enough and read enough books. But I am very lucky. Not only have I been able to read since I was a child, but I also have good teachers and friends. I have many books to read, so I am getting smarter and smarter..."
The prince couldn't help coughing. He accidentally choked on his own saliva. After coughing for a while, he laughed, almost crying. "You are quite an interesting person."
The prince thought for a moment and asked, "How about I make you Liang Di?"
Man Bao's eyes widened. Seeing that the prince didn't look like he was joking, he said speechlessly, "That won't work. I already have someone I like. Besides, Your Highness, you don't like me, and my family background is average. Why did you confer the title on me?"
The prince said nothing.
Manbao's palms were sweating, but she didn't show it on her face. Her mind had finally pulled itself away from the morning surgery. She said, "Besides, I'm determined to travel all over the world, treating patients and collecting medical records. I can't stay in one place for long."
The prince merely raised an eyebrow at her ideal and asked, "Who do you like?"
Manbao's face was slightly red, his eyes were rolling around and he didn't say anything.
The prince asked, "Your junior fellow apprentice?"
Manbao coughed and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
The prince waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I won't force anyone to do anything. But as for you two, Senior Brother and Junior Sister are a good match, but Senior Sister and Junior Brother are a bit of a mismatch, aren't they?"
Manbao was curious, "Why not?"
"No reason. I've only ever heard of senior brothers and junior sisters."
Manbao thought about it carefully and nodded, "Really? There's nothing we can do about it. Who made him become my disciple so late?"
The prince asked, "Are your two families engaged?"
"not yet."
"So you're secretly getting married, right? That's not a good idea. What if your parents don't agree?"
Manbao was puzzled, "Why don't you agree?"
Seeing her so confident and righteous, the prince smiled and said, "Then there are too many reasons not to agree, such as your family background is not worthy..."
"My other junior fellow student said we are a perfect match."
The prince said: "His family members look down on you for practicing medicine everywhere."
"He is not a pedantic person and never objects to my practicing medicine."
The Queen and Aunt Monk, who were standing behind a large screen, couldn't help but feel a little anxious as they listened to the two people rambling on and on, never getting to the point.
The prince asked, "Does this include treating men for conditions like infertility?"
Manbao nodded. "Yes, he even discussed it with me. It's just one of thousands of symptoms. What's the problem?"
The prince stared at her, then shook his head after a moment and said, "No problem."
He simply stood up and sat cross-legged on the couch. He leaned back and said to Zhou Man in a domineering tone, "Then let me take a look and see if you can tell what's wrong with me."
The stone in Manbao's chest finally fell.
She openly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands. The palace maid who had been standing trembling beside her immediately brought up the medicine box, knelt down, took out the pulse pillow for Manbao and placed it next to the prince.
Manbao wiped the sweat from his palms, placed his finger on the prince's pulse, and asked, "Your Highness, do you have a good appetite?"
"Very good."
"Like drinking?"
Prince: "Yes."
"How much do you like it?"
The prince frowned and thought for a moment, "At least one pot a day?"
That's quite a lot.
Because the prince had just mentioned that he would confer her the title of Liangdi, she hesitated for a moment and did not dare to ask any further, fearing that the question would be too sensitive and would bring it back to his mind.
The prince raised his eyelids and glanced at her. He immediately understood her concerns, then snorted softly and said, "Do you want me to arrange a marriage for you two?"
Manbao immediately said: "That's not necessary, just remember it in your heart."
She coughed lightly before continuing to ask, "When was the last time you had sex?"
The prince frowned slightly. Xiao Yuanzheng would also ask such a question, but of course it would not be him who would answer it, but Eunuch Wu beside him.
But at this moment, Eunuch Wu was waiting outside.
So the prince paused before saying, "Last night."
A palace maid quietly retreated, and soon Eunuch Wu came in quietly and waited behind the prince.
Manbao started asking other more detailed questions, such as whether he used drugs during intercourse and whether it hurt...
Half of these questions can be answered by Eunuch Wu, and the other half must be answered by the prince himself.
Not to mention Eunuch Wu, even Aunt Shang behind the screen broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
The prince's face became increasingly gloomy. If Manbao's voice had not been gentle and steady, without any major fluctuations from beginning to end, he would have lost his temper.
Manbao memorized the prince's pulse diagnosis, then withdrew his hand and said, "Your foundation is actually not bad, but you had sex too early, which led to premature ejaculation and poor maintenance of your essence."
Prince: ...
Xiao Yuanzheng never said that. He only told him to be abstinent and have sex with others less often. He never mentioned the issue of sooner or later.
Manbao had already considered it in his mind and said, "We can try to treat it, but can you follow the doctor's advice?"
The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me hear you talk about it."
"First of all, you can't drink." Man Bao saw that his face was dark, so he said, "If you don't believe me, go ask the Imperial Hospital. Alcohol damages your essence, right?"
The prince remained calm and said, "Mr. Xiao simply said that I shouldn't be addicted to alcohol."
"It would be much better if you just didn't drink." Seeing that he looked unhappy, Manbao nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to limit yourself to one small cup a day at most. In addition to the wine, I will prescribe a medicinal bath for you, and you will also have to get acupuncture and take medicine..."
The prince asked, "Can I have a child in two months?"
Manbao shook his head, "The shortest would be four months."
The cycle is three months. Doctor Fan said that we should be cautious when treating royal family members, so let's say four months.
The prince frowned, "Then why did Shi Dalang have a child just over two months ago?"
"Your situation is different," Manbao asked, "will you treat it or not?"
The prince raised his eyelids to look at her, "Heal!"
See you at 4 p.m.
