Chapter 1446 Digging and Digging (Thanks to the book friend "Royal Princess" for the reward)
The Crown Princess looked down at her flowers and finally understood why Zhou Man was so confident yesterday.
Manbao generously placed the flowers on the table for the Crown Princess to choose from.
The Crown Princess picked a multi-colored flower, and a palace maid cut it and pinned it on her head.
Manbao smiled and said, "I'll give the rest to the princesses."
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, "They will definitely like your gift."
The group then went to the Imperial Garden.
The Crown Princess went over in a sedan chair, and Manbao took advantage of her sedan chair to go over as well.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, it was still quiet, but the princesses had already arrived. Their invited friends were outside the palace and it would take some time for them to come over.
When the little princesses Changyu, Mingda and others saw the flowers that Manbao brought, they were shocked and gathered around to see them.
Chang Yu instantly abandoned the flower she had chosen earlier and chose a purple one to wear in her hairpin. She tilted her head and looked into the bronze mirror held by the palace maid, smiling, "It's really beautiful! You're willing to cut such a beautiful flower?"
Manbao smiled and said, "The Crown Princess said that as long as we are happy, that's all that matters."
Changyu prefers to keep the flowers in the pot and enjoy them slowly. Even if she likes them very much, she is reluctant to wear them in her hair.
Generally, the hairpin she chose was the one that she liked second in her heart.
Mingda and the other two little princesses also picked out the flowers they liked and cut them, but the two little princesses were too small to wear them in hairpins, so they planned to take the flowers home and put them in vases.
They were not familiar with Zhou Man, so after saying a few words, they shyly turned around and ran to the Crown Princess to talk to her.
Changyu and Mingda stood together and talked.
Chang Yu glanced at the Crown Princess not far away and asked Man Bao with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, has the Crown Prince recovered? I see that the Crown Prince and his wife are in a good mood these past two days."
Manbao smiled and said, "I'm still getting acupuncture, but I'm getting better."
She has been saying this since she began treating the prince, and has never changed her words. People outside cannot tell whether it is true or false.
Mingda pulled Manbao aside and changed the subject. "I heard before that you loved flowers and plants, and that your sister-in-law gave you many expensive ones. I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems you're really good at growing flowers and plants. I remember last year you said you wanted some flowers from the palace."
Manbao cheered up and said happily, "I just like collecting flowers and plants I've never seen before. It's really interesting to raise and study them."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Everything in the world can be used as medicine. It's just a matter of whether the medicinal properties are strong or weak and whether they are suitable for the patient. I think growing flowers and plants is just like studying medicine."
Mingda nodded, took her hand and said, "I'll take you to see them. Which ones do you want?"
Manbao didn't expect Mingda to be so understanding. He was so happy that he turned around and ran away with her hand in hand.
Changyu: ...
She was just hesitating whether to go along or go talk to the Crown Princess when a palace maid came to report, "Your Highness, the girls from the Liu and Li families are here."
Chang Yu immediately said, "Please ask them to come over."
She turned around and went to greet her friends.
The queen asked the princesses to hold a flower banquet, but she didn't want to show up. After all, if she showed up, the other concubines in the palace would have to come out too.
At that time, the children will feel uncomfortable and their time will be wasted on formalities.
So not only did she not come herself, she also ordered the concubines in the harem not to show up.
As the sister-in-law of the princesses, the Crown Princess is here to take charge.
Normally, the Crown Princess would be in charge of such activities for the princesses in the palace. She didn't need to do anything, she just had to sit there and act as a stabilizer to prevent the children from making trouble.
Manbao and Mingda had already run far away. With Koko showing the way, Manbao pulled her straight to the flowers and plants he wanted to collect.
Behind them came a group of serving palace maids and eunuchs. Some of them were smart and had already brought flower pots and small flower hoes.
Mingda didn't let them come close to serve him, waved his hand and asked them to stay away, then took the small flower hoe and started digging flowers and plants with Manbao.
Manbao planted the dug plant in a flowerpot, handed it to the palace servant behind him, and then pulled Mingda to the next plant.
After a while, she stood under a tree full of flowers. She looked up at the lush and beautiful flowers and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This magnolia flower is more beautiful than the peony flower."
Mingda turned his head to glance at the pale yellow peony pinned in her hair and said with a smile, "Do you like small flowers?"
Manbao nodded. "When the flowers are big enough, you can put them in a pot to appreciate them. They won't look good on a hairpin."
Mingda pointed to the magnolia flowers blooming on the branches and asked, "Do you want one?"
"want!"
The center of the magnolia flower is pink-purple, but the flowers are light pink with distinct layers. There are more than twenty flowers on a branch, which are staggered and very beautiful.
Manbao likes this kind of flower the most.
Neither of them needed help from the palace servants and they cut the branches themselves.
Mingda chose the most beautiful branch for her. Since they were both short, they just tiptoed to pull it and then cut it.
After reluctantly cutting it off, Manbao sniffed it and was extremely happy, "The fragrance of the flowers is nice too."
The two of them continued walking down with the flowers in their hands. The palace maids fell far behind. Mingda then asked Manbao, "How is my mother's health lately?"
Manbao nodded, "The queen's condition has been controlled. As long as she doesn't have an attack, she'll be fine."
Mingda also held a flower in his hand and sighed, "My Queen Mother is always overthinking. I'm afraid she can't find peace."
Manbao turned his head and smiled at her, "Your health is not good either. You are still so young, and you are always worrying about me."
She said, "Since you know that worrying too much is bad for your health, why do you worry too much?"
Mingda, however, didn't think about herself. She argued, "It's just a physical problem, not something I worry about. I'm only a year or two younger than you. You studied medicine, so don't you worry more than I do?"
Manbao shook his head, "I study, but I rarely worry."
She said, "Don't worry too much, God of Worry."
Mingda thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then let's not think about anything today and just play?"
Manbao nodded happily: "Okay."
The two of them simply let loose and had fun, exploring the imperial garden and, under Koko's guidance, digging up a lot of flowers and plants that she had never seen before.
After digging the Imperial Garden, Mingda glanced at the bustling garden center and walked out with Manbao in his hand. "Suddenly, I feel a bit bored. Why don't we go somewhere else and see if there are any flowers or plants you want?"
"OK!"
The two of them just ran away.
The palace maids and eunuchs behind them followed in a hurry. The flowers and plants they dug out were either buried in pots or wrapped in leaves and collected by the palace servants.
When the Queen finished her palace affairs and thought of asking her children, she found out that Mingda and Zhou Man were not in the Imperial Garden, but were running around the palace digging things. Now they heard that they had dug in the front hall of Taiji Palace.
Queen: ...
She rubbed her forehead and said to Aunt Shang, "Go and bring the two children back quickly. That's where the senior gentlemen come in and out. It would be bad if we bump into them."
Aunt Shang quickly agreed and turned to find the princess and Zhou Man.
good evening
