Chapter 1464 Reward
He opened the box and handed it over, and Manbao saw that there were several pieces of paper inside.
The prince raised his chin and said, "This is a house in Chongyuanfang, right on Daze Street. It's a reward for you."
Manbao was stunned.
Eunuch Wu immediately closed the box with a smile, nudged Manbao, and whispered, "Little Doctor Zhou, why don't you thank me quickly? This house was given to the Crown Prince by the Emperor's uncle many years ago. There is a garden in this house full of plum blossoms. Because the Crown Prince likes plum blossoms, the Emperor's uncle specially gave this house to the Crown Prince."
"I'm so sorry..." Manbao was halfway through his words when he suddenly feared the prince would interrupt again, so he immediately accepted the box and bowed, "But it's a gift from the prince, so I respectfully obey your command. Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
The Crown Princess beside her couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was a thank you gift for curing the Crown Prince and making the Crown Princess pregnant. As for the gold, it was certainly not something Manbao could carry, and someone would carry it to Changqing Lane later.
Manbao didn't prescribe medicine for the Crown Princess, but instead gave her some dietary recommendations. She said, "Your Majesty has an aunt who knows how to take care of her. Normally, I shouldn't do anything else, but I still have to remind you not to take anything that's too nutritious. I've already prescribed some basic advice for you. You have a good foundation, and the child seems healthy now, so just pay more attention to nutrition on a daily basis."
He then said to the prince, "Your illness has healed. From now on, you should rest well, avoid staying up late drinking, and avoid indulging in sexual activities."
The prince could control his drinking and indulgence, but whether to stay up late or not was not something he could decide.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew that the prince should not drink alcohol because it involved his offspring, and the emperor had also made his stance clear, so no one dared to invite the prince to a banquet since half a year ago.
But if there are too many official duties and he has to help the emperor govern the country, he will definitely have to stay up late, which is not something he can control.
Manbao gave the medical advice and said that she would not enter the palace from tomorrow onwards. If they had any problems in the future, they could send someone to call her and she would come back to the palace.
Now that the prince has recovered from his illness, Manbao naturally doesn't need to enter the palace anymore, but the Crown Princess's treatment is still officially the responsibility of the Imperial Hospital.
However, the Crown Princess had already made a secret decision that she would still have to call Man Baozhao into the palace to check his pulse every once in a while.
Compared to the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, she trusted Manbao more.
Moreover, Manbao can even touch her belly. Can the imperial doctors do that?
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess asked Eunuch Wu to send Manbao out of the palace.
In addition to the house in Chongyuanfang and the five hundred gold promised in advance, the Crown Princess also gave Manbao a lot of extra things as rewards.
They were all fabrics and jewelry commonly used by women, as well as some porcelain that she thought was nice.
After Manbao left the palace, the emperor and empress's rewards also left the palace and went to Changqing Lane.
The Queen Mother in the harem took a sip of tea after hearing this, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Go to the storehouse and pick out some fabrics and utensils that we don't need, and give them to her as a reward."
The palace maid quickly agreed.
The Queen Mother asked, "How is Yunfeng's dowry being prepared?"
"Everything is prepared as you ordered."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "In that case, let's set the date. She's not young anymore, it would be better for her to get married soon."
But in fact, Princess Yunfeng is only a few months older than Princess Changyu. Princess Changyu has not even decided on a marriage yet, but Princess Yunfeng is already getting married.
The Queen Mother did not want to keep Princess Yunfeng any longer. It was not because she did not love her. On the contrary, she let her get married early because she loved her.
The Crown Princess is pregnant, so the Crown Prince's position is secure. Similarly, Zhou Man's position is also secure.
Even the Queen Mother endured her disgust and treated Zhou Man with courtesy for the sake of the Crown Prince and the future of the country, but Yun Feng still couldn't understand the situation.
The Empress Dowager also heard about what happened in the Imperial Garden last time.
It would be fine if she couldn't control her attitude towards Zhou Man, but she was even rebellious towards the Crown Princess. If she continued to stay in the palace, it would probably not be pampering her, but harming her.
Whenever the Queen Mother thought of these things, she would think of the King of Yizhou, and she felt regretful in her heart. If she had realized what he had done earlier, perhaps things would not have been so different.
After the empress dowager had Zhou Manye rewarded with something, she turned around and sent someone to tell the emperor that Princess Yunfeng was going to choose a date for her wedding.
So the emperor, who was thinking about what to do with his third son, was distracted even more.
Manbao knew nothing about this. As soon as she got on the carriage, she opened the box and looked at the house deed inside.
This was not the first time she had seen a house deed. The two shops her family bought and the things her parents left her all had house deeds.
But this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful title deed. It seemed that the title deed given by the prince was bigger than the one she bought herself.
Manbao looked at the address on the deed with great joy, wanting to go and see the house right away. But thinking of the gold and various gifts carried in the carriage behind, she held back.
As soon as she returned to Changqing Lane, she immediately knocked on the door and asked them to move their things in. Then she ran into the backyard like a bird, rushed directly to the study, and shouted to Mr. Zhuang: "Sir, I'm back, hahahaha——"
Mr. Zhuang's hands trembled with fear. He looked down at his bad handwriting, put down his pen, and asked with a smile, "What are you so happy about?"
Manbao said happily: "The Crown Princess is pregnant, and the Crown Prince's illness has been cured. I don't have to enter the palace anymore!!!"
"I can study with the teacher and also serve as a teacher at Jishitang again," Manbao said with delight, his eyes narrowed. "The prince also gave me a house, gold, and various gifts..."
Mr. Zhuang was astonished and asked, "Is the Crown Princess pregnant?"
Manbao nodded, "Eunuch Wu said that the Emperor and Empress will also give me gifts. I'm sure my room won't be able to hold all these things."
Mr. Zhuang asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"
Manbao: "...more than two months."
Mr. Zhuang looked at his disciple for a long moment, then praised her, "Not bad, you managed to be patient this time."
Since she has been pregnant for more than two months, she didn't show any sign of it until she went out today, which shows that she can still hold it in.
Mr. Zhuang knew how rare this was for someone who loved to talk, so he reached out and patted her head, praising her: "Not bad, our Manbao has grown up."
Manbao felt that her husband had underestimated her, and thought to herself, she had had a secret since she was a child. No one knew this secret except Koko, but hadn't she been keeping it to herself?
Keke: ...Who was it that held Xiao Qian's hand when she was a child and told her that there was a fairy living in her body who would give her delicious candies?
Manbao had forgotten about this matter, so she tried to get the subject back on track. "Sir, the prince gave me a lot of gifts."
Mr. Zhuang only then noticed this and asked with a smile, "What reward did you get?"
Manbao: ...
I changed some things in the last chapter. The Crown Princess should have been pregnant for more than two months.
