Chapter 1269: Aboveboard
Manbao stood in front of the door and waited for a long time, but Zhou Silang did not come. Instead, he waited for Eunuch Wu and the imperial guards behind him.
Bai Shan, who was standing at the gate with Manbao in a daze, saw this and raised an eyebrow at Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu quickly explained that they were ordered by the Crown Prince to bring Zhou Man to the palace to treat the Crown Princess.
Manbao glanced at the imperial guards behind him and asked, "Don't you need to change into the eunuch's clothes?"
Eunuch Wu said, "Young Doctor Zhou, you're joking. You're not a eunuch, so why would you change clothes?"
Manbao understood. She glanced at the end of the alley with sadness, then turned and said to Bai Shan, "Forget it. When my fourth brother comes back, tell him that I'm going to the palace."
Bai Shan nodded, then turned around and went back to the backyard with Manbao.
Eunuch Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with him, "Young Doctor Zhou, what are you doing..."
"I have to go get the medicine box."
Eunuch Wu wanted to follow, so Bai Shan and Manbao didn't speak all the way. When they arrived at the backyard, Eunuch Wu went to say hello to Mr. Zhuang, and Bai Shan followed Manbao into the house.
Manbao packed up the medicine box while Bai Shan pushed open the window. Seeing Eunuch Wu being welcomed into the study by Mr. Zhuang, he turned around and said, "It seems that the palace attaches great importance to this matter."
Manbao looked up and smiled, "That's not a bad thing, is it?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, reached out and picked up a strand of her hair that was not tied up and tied it into the bun, and said: "Don't you like money? If they mention it when you go to the palace this time, you can express it."
Manbao pursed his lips and smiled.
This time, Manbao entered the palace openly, but he did not go to the Taiji Hall, but went directly to the East Palace.
The Crown Princess knew that Manbao was coming early, and as soon as she arrived, she sent someone to pick her up.
This was not the first time the two met. The Crown Princess had rewarded them with many treasures before, but this was the first time they sat together and talked like this.
The Crown Princess coughed lightly, and after she had recovered from the awkwardness, she asked, "Did Doctor Zhou have breakfast?"
Manbao nodded, "I have used it."
She paused and then asked, "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Your Highness has gone to the morning court," the Crown Princess said, "and will be back soon. Doctor Zhou, why don't you sit down and have some refreshments?"
Since she is going to court, why bring her into the palace so early?
But the thought only flashed through her mind, and Manbao sat obediently on the chair. Since she had just had breakfast, she didn't really want to eat snacks.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. The Crown Princess remembered what the Crown Prince had mentioned to her last time, so she stood up and said with a smile, "Why don't we go for a walk in the garden? I heard that Doctor Zhou likes to grow some flowers and plants."
Manbao's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up, "Yes, I like flowers and plants very much."
This was the first time she had seen someone express their likes and dislikes in front of the Crown Princess, so she couldn't help but smile even wider and simply took Manbao to the garden of the East Palace.
At this time, many trees in the garden have lost their leaves, but many flowers and trees are well cared for. Most importantly, they have a greenhouse specifically for growing flowers.
The precious flowers and plants are all in pots and have been moved to the greenhouse. They will be moved out when spring comes, but Manbao is not very interested in them now.
She was more interested in the plants and flowers in the garden that seemed to be dry or bare.
Koko seemed to have realized something. Since entering the garden, she started to give Manbao directions and told her which plant data were not included.
Manbao walked for a while and then squatted down. He pointed at a small tree without any leaves and asked, "What kind of flower is this?"
The Crown Princess thought for a moment and smiled, "It seems her name is Huang Dumei. Why does Doctor Zhou like it?"
Its flowers cannot be seen now, and Keke is not sure what it is called just by scanning the branches and trunks, but the scanned branch and trunk data currently do not overlap in the system, so it is not included.
After receiving Koko's affirmative answer, Manbao smiled and nodded, and found a particularly ridiculous excuse, "Its branches look like they will bloom and look very beautiful."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I'll have someone dig one up and send it to Doctor Zhou later."
Manbao smiled shyly, "That's so embarrassing. I see it has a thick trunk and many branches. Why not give me one?"
Crown Princess: ...She thought she didn’t want it anymore.
She smiled and said, "That's not necessary. We have several more of these flowers in our garden."
After saying this, she asked the palace maid behind her to take note of it and dig it up and send it to Changqing Lane.
Seeing how generous she was, Manbao also walked around the garden generously and picked many plants she had never seen before, a total of nine.
Manbao and Koko haven't experienced such a large harvest for a long time. She was very happy and Koko was also very happy.
The Crown Princess did not think so. She felt that Manbao was a little strange. The flowers and plants he chose were not particularly precious. She had no impression of some of them. She asked the gardener about it, but he said they were very small flowers and not very precious.
But she just liked it very much and didn't even look at the peonies and chrysanthemums in the greenhouse.
Man Bao walked back with the Crown Princess contentedly. After drinking a cup of tea, she relaxed a lot. She said, "Your Majesty, how about I take your pulse first? You also need to prepare for pregnancy, so you will need to take some medicine or something."
The Crown Princess paused holding the tea, "I need to take medicine too?"
Manbao nodded and said, "Generally speaking, preparing for pregnancy before conception is not only good for the mother, but also for the fetus. The child may be healthier, smarter, and it will be easier to conceive."
The Crown Princess sat up slightly, nodded modestly, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Zhou."
She looked at the palace maids beside her, and they immediately moved a small stool under the Crown Princess's seat and asked Manbao to come forward to examine her.
Manbao went to find his medicine box and took out a pulse pillow.
The Crown Princess's health is actually not very good, especially since she was sick from anger some time ago. She seems fine now, but she is too worried, so her health is not very good.
It seems that she still needs to take care of her body before preparing for pregnancy.
Before prescribing medicine, Manbao always likes to explain the patient's condition in detail so that she knows how to treat the disease.
The Crown Princess was only slightly surprised, but she quickly remembered that the imperial doctors had also advised her that she was worrying too much and asked her to relax.
The Crown Princess felt that what the imperial doctors said was nonsense. As the Crown Princess, how could she not be worried?
There was a brother-in-law who was always trying to dethrone her husband and make himself the crown prince. The ministers in the court were constantly impeaching the crown prince and her family. The crown prince didn't even have a child, and he was always irritable and angry...
She wanted to feel at ease, but there were conditions.
But she didn't expect that pregnancy would be so closely related to worry.
The Crown Princess asked hesitantly, "If I keep worrying too much, will I never be able to conceive?"
See you at 10pm
