Chapter 1536 Yan Hao (a reward for the book friend "Non-existent Lover's Tribulation")
As soon as Minister Liu left with his hands behind his back, the clerk began to look for Zhou Man's file and kept it close at hand. This way, as soon as she delivered the post, he could file it. It was fast and efficient, and he believed that this would definitely win the other party's favor.
He began to look forward to the arrival of this favored imperial physician.
Minister Liu and the clerk didn't know that Manbao was trapped in the Daming Palace at this time.
Because she was worried about getting a salary, Manbao refused to go out with Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu, and instead wanted to go back to the East Palace after taking the Crown Princess's pulse. As a result, as soon as she left the house, Aunt Shang, who was by the Queen's side, came to invite her in person.
Mingda and Changyu, who were feeling a little regretful that they could not play together, were immediately happy to go to the main palace's bedroom with Manbao to see the queen.
Because Mingda and the others had just had breakfast with the Queen that morning and knew that the Queen looked very good, so Aunt Shang definitely did not come to ask Manbao to see a doctor.
On the way, Mingda asked Aunt Shang directly, "What does the Queen Mother want Manbao to do?"
Aunt Shang smiled and said, "The princesses will understand when they go there."
Everyone knew from her expression that it wouldn't be a bad thing, so even Manbao relaxed a little.
Entering the main hall, the queen was reviewing memorials. Of course, they were memorials from the harem. Even if she moved to the Daming Palace, she would still need to handle palace affairs.
In addition to the affairs of the palace, she also had to deal with some matters concerning the ladies of the court.
If an ordinary housewife is responsible for maintaining the stability of the harem, and a clan wife is responsible for maintaining the stability of the clan's backyard, then the empress is responsible not only for maintaining the overall stability of the royal clan's backyard, but also for maintaining the stability of the harem of all the ministers in the court, so as to assist the emperor in managing the entire court and the world.
So she has a lot to do.
Seeing Manbao and her two daughters approaching, she put down the memorial in her hand after reviewing it, waved to them, and after they came to her side, she asked Manbao, "Do you think I am any different today?"
Manbao looked at the queen carefully, and after a while he said uncertainly, "Your Majesty doesn't look much different from usual. In fact, her complexion is much better than before. She doesn't look sick."
The Queen then smiled at Auntie Shang and said, "It can be seen that he is truly a doctor, and his only concern is illness."
She reached out and touched her face, then smiled and said, "Your complexion is indeed a lot redder, but it's not because of the medicine. Look at my hand?"
Manbao stared at her hands for a long time but couldn't see anything different.
Seeing Manbao looking at her blankly, the queen burst out laughing.
Aunt Shang, who was standing by, had already poured tea for the three little girls. She said with a smile, "Master Zhou, have you forgotten the ointment you made two days ago? Oh, by the way, you call it Rouge."
Manbao widened her eyes slightly and couldn't help but reach out to touch the back of the queen's hand. It felt moist. She couldn't help but feel her pulse. She gently touched the place where she usually took the pulse and felt it carefully. She felt that the skin was not only moister than the skin she had touched during previous medical examinations, but also seemed to be more elastic.
The queen knew she understood as soon as she saw her expression. She withdrew her hand and asked her and Mingda Changyu to sit beside her. She asked with a smile, "Well, where did you get the ointment, okay, Run Rouge?"
Man Bao was a little embarrassed and said, "I found it in the library."
The Queen didn't quite understand this either, so she asked curiously, "Is the recipe called Run Rouge?"
Manbao's expression was a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yes and no."
Chang Yu asked curiously, "Yes, yes, no, no, or yes and no?"
Manbao's face was full of confusion. Oh, how can I put this into words?
Should I tell them that the doctor who wrote this prescription has some research on skin diseases, but other doctors look down on him. However, he really thinks skin diseases are also very important, so he is somewhat frustrated.
Later, he started studying other diseases and became somewhat famous. When he wrote a medical book, he couldn't help but write a supplement and had it printed together with the main book.
In the supplementary volume, he satirized those who had looked down on him and his prescriptions, and finally joked that those people looked down on him only because the color of his and his wife's skin was better than theirs and their wives'.
Although they were of the same age, he could make him and his wife look ten years younger than them. They looked down on the various ointments he made, but they didn't know that his ointments made people look more colorful than the rouge on the market.
And people live for two reasons, one is for life, and the other is for appearance, right?
The fact that he and his wife could live beautifully meant that his medical skills were better than anyone else's, so he jokingly named his prescription Run Yanzhi, meaning it was more moisturizing than rouge and made people look more radiant.
Of course, it was actually called Baiji Paste, and Run Yanzhi was just his joke. Manbao thought that his book was very interesting, especially the words where he scolded those doctors, which she read with gusto. So she specially wrote down the recipe and took it out to play with Mingda Changyu and others, just to see if Run Yanzhi could really cure chapped skin and make people's skin moisturized and good in color.
So Manbao said that this name is and is not. If there are only two friends, then of course she can brag as much as she wants. Anyway, everyone will just laugh about it afterwards.
But when the queen asked her, she had to answer truthfully.
So Manbao grunted and spoke briefly about the thin medical book.
Chang Yu couldn't help but ask, "So he and his wife rely on this ointment to look ten years younger than the average person?"
Man Bao said: "Of course not. I have read another medical classic he wrote. He is very good at regulating the body. It not only includes external treatment, but also internal regulation. There is a lot of knowledge in it."
Chang Yu's eyes sparkled, and even the Queen couldn't help but ask, "Have you learned it?"
Manbao shook his head. "I just read through the medical classics and haven't delved into this aspect in detail."
Chang Yu asked, "Then why are you reading that medical book?"
"I was looking for a recipe for liver conditioning and found it along this path," Man Bao said. "I only studied the liver conditioning methods recorded in his book for the time being, and didn't study the others."
She also has no time to study for the time being.
Mingda's focus was different from that of ordinary people. She asked curiously, "From his tone, this doctor must be a very capable person. Then how did his medical book end up in the library?"
Aren't these kinds of medical books usually meant to be passed down from generation to generation? They rarely get circulated outside, right?
Manbao said, "I only know that he is from Liang, and I don't know anything else."
Studying a person's life is the job of historians. However, he was a doctor and not famous enough for historians to study his life. Therefore, either his descendants will pass on his name in the future, or no one will know his life.
See you tomorrow, May Day is coming soon. Although I can't go out to play, I am still happy. I am happy every day. You should be happy too.
