Chapter 1502: Going astray
When Imperial Physicians Liu and Zheng heard this, they also ran over to see what was happening.
So the four doctors squatted on the ground and carefully unfolded the scroll. A few pieces of paper scattered inside. Xiao Yuanzheng was heartbroken, "The proofreader didn't even repair it or paste it back together."
Doctor Zheng said, "This is the Medical Classics. They are probably studying other classics, so how can they read our Medical Classics?"
Xiao Yuanzheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it."
He also learned how to repair ancient books. After all, his family had been looking for medical books from outside, and some of them were severely damaged, so they had to repair them themselves.
Manbao didn't have the ability to do this, so he just squatted on the side to join in the fun. No one would have thought that the Imperial Hospital's book repair journey started with the restoration of an ancient book.
Now, not only Man Bao, but also Imperial Physicians Liu and Zheng began to wander around the hall, just to look for medical classics.
The reason is particularly upright. Since I want to revise a book, I naturally have to find the book first and see which book to copy and extract from...
Because the prince was very lenient with them and had not yet required them to revise the medical book, the four imperial doctors unconsciously went astray and put the book-editing work aside to study the medical classics in the Chongwenguan first.
Manbao was buried in a pile of books until a female official came over and said, "...The Crown Princess wants to see you."
Manbao then left Chongwenguan and followed the female official calmly all the way to the West Palace. In fact, his mind had not yet come out of the medical books.
When he arrived at the Crown Princess's place, Manbao finally came to his senses and hurriedly bowed.
The Crown Princess smiled and waved at her, "No need to be so polite, come quickly, you haven't had lunch yet, right? It's perfect, come and have some with me."
Manbao walked forward with a smile. The food served to the Crown Princess was naturally better than that served at Chongwenguan.
The Crown Princess's belly was now bulging and had taken shape. She even said with a loving look, "Last night I felt my stomach move. Your Highness and I were both very surprised."
Manbao smiled and said, "It's more than four months, the baby is indeed moving, congratulations, Madam."
The Crown Princess had a good appetite and kept eating according to the meal list made by Manbao. Manbao was satisfied and reached out to feel the Crown Princess's pulse, telling her that her pulse was very strong and there was nothing wrong with her.
The Crown Princess was satisfied, and the people who served her were also satisfied.
Now, Prince Guangping was reprimanded and sent back to his fiefdom, Prince Gong was still imprisoned in the palace, Hou Ji was beheaded, and the Hou family was exiled. It seemed that the evil spirits in the East Palace were gone at once. During this period of time, the Crown Princess was very safe, and there were no more problems around the Crown Prince.
But the people in the East Palace and Manbao did not dare to relax completely, because saving people might be difficult, but harming people was quite easy, especially a pregnant woman.
Even though she already knew from Yang Heshu that the prince had asked her to participate in the Imperial Medical Bureau's book revision for personal gain, since she was in, she had to do it well even if it was "private".
After dinner, the Crown Princess's maid took Manbao for a tour around the house. Of course, she couldn't ask Manbao to check if there was anything inappropriate in the house. She always found different excuses, such as the Crown Princess had made a new dress, but unfortunately she couldn't wear it now, and asked Lord Zhou if he wanted to see if the style was suitable for the Crown Princess.
For example, the Crown Princess has a new set of jewelry and put it in her makeup box. Would you like to go and take a look, Lord Zhou?
When Manbao came out from the Crown Princess, they had already taken a nap on the couch. Occasionally, she would meet the Crown Prince returning to the palace once or twice and take his pulse.
In just a few days, Manbao, Baishan and others adapted to the life in Chongwenguan. In fact, it was no different from life outside. They read books in the morning, took the pulse of the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince at noon and took a break. In the afternoon, they went to the side hall of the East Palace to teach acupuncture to Liu Yinu, Zheng Gu and others who came into the palace.
Eunuch Wu was a very good person. He knew that Manbao and the others were living in the Eastern Palace. Most of the names on the list he had drawn up in the past few days were from the palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace. So Manbao took this opportunity to get to know the people on duty in various parts of the Eastern Palace and sorted them out.
Manbao also took over Ma Fuming and Xu Yu. Like most palace maids, Xu Yu had a cold uterus, perhaps due to excessive exposure to cold water. Manbao could only rely on acupuncture to stimulate blood circulation and dredge meridians.
Ma Fuming had the same problems as most of the eunuchs in the palace, and even had more symptoms.
After this incident, no matter where Manbao went, people would recognize him, and people would even raise their hands to say hello when they saw him from afar.
That day, after Manbao felt the Crown Princess's pulse, he said, "Your Majesty, I will be taking a rest tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to bring you when I leave the palace?"
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I really want to try the meat pie from the stall across from Jishiditang that you mentioned, but I know you can't bring it into the palace, so forget it."
It is possible to bring it with you. Even if you cannot put it in the medicine box, you can put it in the system space. However, it is better not to bring food to the Crown Princess, even if she is a doctor.
So Manbao smiled, took a nap and left.
However, because she talked with the Crown Princess for a while longer, she left a little later than usual today. Thinking that she might be late if she went to the side hall, Manbao and the female official who brought her out wanted to take a shortcut.
The two of them walked out from another road, and when they turned in, they met two little palace maids carrying food boxes. When they saw Manbao, they stopped and saluted.
Manbao nodded. As she walked past them, she smelled a faint aroma from the food box. She had already walked past them for a while, but then she stopped and looked back. The palace maid leading her couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what's wrong?"
Manbao asked, "Who is the food box for?"
"It's for the Crown Princess," the maid said with a smile. "The Crown Princess is pregnant and gets hungry quickly. She needs something to eat after her nap."
Upon hearing this, Manbao turned around and chased after the two little palace maids.
The palace maid was also shocked when she saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
The two young palace maids knelt on the ground, trembling, and said to Manbao, "Sir, we carried the food boxes all the way from the kitchen and never stopped on the way."
This means that if there is a problem with the food, it is not their concern.
Manbao opened the food box and said to them, "The food is fine. I just want to see what the Crown Princess eats in the afternoon."
There was a fruit plate, snacks, and soup in the food box. Manbao opened the jar and smelled the soup inside, confirming that the fragrance he had just smelled came from the soup.
She put down the soup spoon, put the lid on, and asked, "Does the Crown Princess drink this kind of soup every day?"
The maids looked at each other and replied cautiously, "Not every day, but there is a bowl of soup every afternoon. Because the Crown Princess has a good appetite, there are also meat soups and other dishes."
Manbao also saw the meat soup in the bowl next to him, but there was very little meat in it, mostly rice, so it couldn't be called meat soup, it should be called meat porridge.
Manbao closed the food box, thought for a moment, and decided to go back with the palace maid to meet the Crown Princess.
Manbao knew that pregnant women had different appetites than ordinary people, but there were some things they couldn't eat too much of. "My Queen, everything else is fine, but this soup is made with medicinal herbs and is very nourishing. If you eat too much, the baby might be too big."
See you at 8pm
