Chapter 1498: Enrollment 4
On the other side, Bai Shan and the others were tidying up things in the room, so they almost bumped into each other while walking over.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang lived together. Liu Huan looked around and asked Yin Huo, "Can I live with you?"
Yin Huo looked at him for a long time, then nodded after a while.
Because he had been exposed to the sun and walked too much, he was now sweating, his face was flushed, and his breathing was a little rapid.
Bai Shan simply put his things in place and went to the next room to see him. Seeing him sitting on the bed in a daze, he walked over and asked, "Are you still not recovered? Do you want Manbao to take a look at you?"
Yin Huo slowly shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, I just need to take a break."
Manbao's room had already been cleaned, so she just had to put her things in. She quickly put away all her clothes, shoes and socks, and left the bookcase untouched.
She walked around the room and even found a stove and a pot in the corner.
Manbao smelled it and thought that the jar was probably used to cook something like midnight snack.
Manbao simply went to get some water to boil. She opened the medicine box, took out a few slices of astragalus and licorice and threw them in. Then she took some charcoal from the basket beside and started a fire. When it was almost boiled, she broke off a small piece of brown sugar and threw it in. When it melted and gurgled, she poured it out.
Manbao covered the bamboo tube, locked the door and went to the next room.
It was not known whether there was no access control in the yard or if it was just not restricted at this time, but Manbao went straight in. The yard was even more lively at this time. There were only so many eunuchs assigned to them, and one asked the eunuch to pack up the boxes, and the other asked the eunuch to fetch water for washing. There was shouting and the yard was full of noise.
Feng Zongping and others who lived in the east wing on the other side were very self-aware. They knew that they could not compete with those "adults" in terms of age, seniority or status, so they were very self-aware and took care of things themselves.
Although they are also clumsy, the clothes are obviously folded, but they still make a mess when they take them out of the box and put them back in the closet.
Manbao, adhering to the rule of not looking at anything inappropriate, stopped in front of a door, coughed lightly, and asked, "Which student is inside?"
Feng Zongping looked out and, without waiting for Manbao to speak, pointed to the left and said, "The third room is it."
Manbao bowed and turned to go to the third room.
The door was ajar, so she pushed it open and walked in.
Bai Erlang had just unfolded the quilt when he saw Manbao and rolled his eyes. "He's helping Yin Huo next door. Yin Huo seems to be feeling unwell."
Manbao nodded, and watched him stand under the bed and roughly shake the quilt before throwing it down. He couldn't help but ask, "Won't the quilt get tangled if you sleep like this?"
Bai Erlang said, "It's okay. We're not big, and it's not very cold at night. Half of it is enough to cover us."
Manbao remained silent, turned around and went to the next room.
Bai Shan was having a headache teaching Liu Huan how to put on the sheet for him. Seeing that Liu Huan couldn't do it, he said, "Forget it. Just leave it there. I'll do it later."
Liu Huan sat down on the bed, panting with exhaustion. "Putting on the quilt is so tiring. There are obviously sheets here, why did our family prepare new ones for us?"
"This is not new," Bai Shan emphasized: "What you brought is old!"
Yin Huo, who was also sitting nearby, taking a deep breath, said in a weak voice, "Old ones are more comfortable. The quilts in the palace are not necessarily clean."
Manbao stood at the door and coughed lightly.
The three people in the room looked over together. Manbao handed the bamboo tube to Yin Huo and said, "It's for replenishing qi. Try it."
Yin Huo took the bamboo tube with trembling hands, and after a long while, he opened the lid and gently drank a sip of the sugar water.
It was still too far to walk from Chengtian Gate to the east rear side of the East Palace, and everyone was walking in a hurry, so it was still a bit difficult for him.
Manbao said, "It would be great if I could enter the palace through Changle Gate next time."
Once they passed Changle Gate, they would reach the main gate of the East Palace, so they could walk a long way less.
Yin Huo smiled and said, "Although I'm a little tired, didn't you also say that I should walk more? Maybe it would be good for my health?"
That should be in moderation.
However, seeing that he was speaking weakly at this time, Manbao no longer discussed this topic with him. Talking also consumes energy, so it is better to say less at this time.
Seeing Bai Shan putting a quilt on Yin Huo, Man Bao took out a rope to tie his sleeves. Today was their first day living in the palace, and Old Lady Liu had specially prepared formal dresses for them, wide-sleeved robes that looked good, but were not only hot but also inconvenient.
Apart from being able to hide more things in the sleeve pocket, its only use is that it looks good.
The two of them worked together and quickly stuffed the quilt in. Then each of them held a corner and shook it out, and the quilt was ready.
Liu Huan: ...
Bai Erlang ran over and saw it, and immediately said, "Bai Shan, you have to help me later."
Manbao: "Didn't you say half side is enough for sleeping?"
Bai Jilang: "It will get tangled, which is so uncomfortable."
He also said: "We will help you put it on later."
Manbao thought about it and felt that it would be a bit difficult for her to do it alone. She had always worked with others to make the quilt before, so she did not object.
Yin Huo sat aside and slowly mixed the sugar water. After he finished drinking all the water in the bamboo tube, he also recovered his breath.
Everyone packed up their things and went next door to call Feng Zongping and the other two, "Do you want to go out and play?"
Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang both declined as they hadn't packed yet.
So they left on their own and out of the yard. Only then did Manbao have time to look around.
The palace has a good greening plan, with flower beds and trees planted along the roadside. Unfortunately, she has dug, picked and collected all these species, and there are no rare ones left.
Koko has also been very quiet.
The five of them first went to the next door to take a look at the martial arts training ground. There were archery targets and various weapons for practicing martial arts, as well as a tea room and changing area for everyone to rest, so the empty martial arts training ground was not very big.
At least Manbao felt that it was far inferior to the martial arts training ground of Yizhou Prefecture School.
As for the Imperial College, she had not been there yet, so she didn't know.
Their horses have been taken away by the people from the East Palace. They have paid money and will be fed together. If they want to see them, they can go to the stables.
Manbao walked around the martial arts arena and asked curiously, "Can we ride horses here? Are you going to learn archery here too?"
Liu Huan didn't understand either.
Yin Huo said, "It shouldn't be here. The Western Inner Courtyard is right behind the Eastern Palace. It's big enough for you to ride horses. I remember my father said that His Majesty and the Crown Prince also liked to hunt and train soldiers in the Western Inner Courtyard."
The imperial guards were stationed in the Western Inner Courtyard to guard the imperial city. Yin Li also served as the deputy commander of the imperial guards and usually lived in the Western Inner Courtyard to work.
Thinking about it this way, His Majesty actually allowed Yin Huo to enter the palace to accompany him in his studies. That’s quite... bold!
Bai Shan silently withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see the Western Inner Courtyard behind through the layers of palace walls.
But he saw nothing except the mountains piled up one on top of the other.
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
