Chapter 2776 Praise
Manbao nodded slightly at her, and Qian said cautiously, "Children are delicate. Although I have given birth to many children, each one is different. I can't guarantee that my methods will work. But after raising many children, I know some tips."
She said, "The child cannot be too hot or too cold. You need to touch his back and palms from time to time. If his back is warm, take off his clothes. If his palms are not warm enough, add more clothes. Use boiled water. Do not drink raw water or yin and yang water..."
These mothers naturally knew the most basic knowledge of raising children, but at this time they all listened very carefully. Even the queen couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.
"I also raised them roughly, so I don't know much more." Qian said a little embarrassedly: "The ladies raised them carefully, so they should know more than me."
"That's not the case. I think children who are brought up in a rough environment are healthier than those who are pampered."
"Yeah yeah."
Qian didn't think so. Just look at Manbao and you'll know. With a body like hers, how could her family dare to raise her in a rough manner?
Of course, they need to be pampered and raised very carefully and cautiously to be healthy.
They started discussing the topic of raising children. Manbao was standing behind them, stunned as she listened. She felt that they were more capable than her as a doctor.
The queen smiled slightly and asked Zhou Man, "Your mother-in-law and your niece have also come to the palace?"
Manbao came back to his senses and immediately responded.
The queen expressed her desire to meet her mother-in-law and niece.
So Manbao happily went out and helped Zheng into the hall.
The queen looked at Zheng. She had seen countless people and believed that she had the ability to judge people. Zheng's face was like a silver moon, and her eyebrows and eyes were kind. She made people feel good at first sight and knew at a glance that she was a person with a very good temper.
The queen couldn't help but smile. No wonder Mingda always said that Zhou Man was lucky, grew up in a good place, and married a good man, because both the former and the latter were appropriate.
In this world, the best thing is not wealth and glory, but just right.
The Queen waved to Zheng, pulled her up and looked her over, then said to Old Lady Liu, "Madam, you are so lucky. Not only did you marry a good grandson's wife, but you also married a good daughter-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu also smiled and responded, joining the Queen in praising Zheng.
Zheng's face turned red, and she lowered her head slightly and stood aside, feeling a little embarrassed.
The ladies sitting below looked at Zheng, who was almost forty but still looked as delicate and shy as a young woman in her twenties or thirties. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the Bai family was really good at taking care of people. It seemed that they were really kind. The daughter-in-law who had been widowed for many years could still be so carefree, which showed the means and kindness of Old Lady Liu.
The Queen released Zheng's hand, looked at Zhou Liru again, and praised him, "You have made great contributions in this Eastern Expedition by accompanying your aunt, and you have grown a lot."
Zhou Liru bowed his head in thanks.
The Queen then said to Madam Liu, "Madam, you are so lucky to have such a good grandson's wife."
Madam Liu smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, that's why you say the county lord has good teaching methods and has educated all the children well. This is a great benefit to me."
Qian and Old Lady Liu used this topic to integrate themselves into the group. By the time all the ladies went to the main hall, the two of them had become basic friends with everyone.
Some people even invited Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian to visit them.
The queen smiled slightly, and after they left, she went to see the emperor. She wanted to appear with the emperor.
The emperor was still working in the Taiji Hall. He turned over the memorial in his hand and said to the crown prince, "Well approved. I have just returned to the capital, so these government affairs will be in your charge for the time being. I need to rest for a few days."
The prince did not refuse and agreed directly.
The emperor waved his hand and asked the prince to leave. "Go and get ready. The palace banquet is about to begin."
After the prince left, the emperor took out the two memorials at the bottom and opened them. His face turned slightly cold and he asked Gu Zhong to move the brazier over.
He threw the two secret letters into the brazier and watched them burn to ashes before standing up. "Send Bai Shan to the palace tomorrow. I have an order."
Gu Zhong immediately bent down and nodded, "Yes."
The emperor got up to change his clothes and happened to meet the queen who was also dressing up. A smile appeared on his cold face and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and went forward to put on the hairpin for the queen.
The empress looked at the emperor's face in the bronze mirror and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't look well. Shouldn't you be happy today?"
After inserting the hairpin, the emperor smiled and said, "Who says I'm not happy? Not only have I gained Liaodong, but I've also gained so many good ministers and generals. The crown prince is also capable of great use. I'm very happy."
The queen raised her eyes and looked into the emperor's eyes in the bronze mirror. The couple looked at each other from a distance and smiled slightly.
The emperor reached out and gently stroked her hair, saying, "Don't worry. Xiao Yuanzheng said that your health has been failing since the beginning of winter. The Crown Prince is a perfect person, but he has only one flaw, which always worries you."
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, you are wrongly accusing Dalang. It is not him who makes me worried, but you."
She said, "I heard that Your Majesty personally went to the front lines and found himself in danger more than once. Moreover, there were problems with the food and fodder logistics at the front lines..."
The emperor patted her shoulder, stopping her from saying anything. "I know it's my fault this time. Now that I'm back, how about I just stay with Zi Tong and recuperate?"
The Queen said helplessly, "How can Your Majesty put aside state affairs?"
But she did not specifically refuse. The queen was coaxed into submission and happily went to the palace banquet with the emperor.
This palace banquet was a celebration banquet. The protagonists were naturally the ministers who had made contributions in the Eastern Expedition. Even Wei Zhi and others became supporting roles.
However, in addition to them, there was another person who was specially named and praised by the emperor, and that was the prince.
The emperor has been leading the army for such a long time, and the prince is acting as regent in the capital. In fact, this is not the first time that the prince has been acting as regent, but it has definitely been such a long time.
And it turns out, he did quite well.
The emperor was very satisfied, and even Wei Zhi and others were very satisfied, so they did not express any objection to the emperor's praise.
Everyone had a lively celebration banquet, and it was not until the hour of Hai that the ministers said goodbye and left the palace one after another.
It was almost midnight when Manbao and his friends returned home.
Old Zhou hadn't gone to bed yet. When he heard the noise, he ran out and pulled Qian aside to ask, "How are you? Are you all right? Isn't the palace very majestic?"
Qian: "Your daughter goes to the palace every day, why don't you ask her?"
Old Zhou said, "Manbao is an official, and her perspective is different from ours. What's the point of me asking her? Naturally, I'm asking you."
Qian smiled and said, "That's fine. The people in the palace are quite kind. Just treat them as nobles from your village and show them some respect."
Old Zhou was relieved and helped her walk back. "Then I will do the same thing next time I see those adults?"
Qian nodded and said, "Manbao is their colleague. Don't be too humble. We are not arrogant either. We just want to avoid embarrassing Manbao."
Seeing them walking away while talking, Manbao scratched her head. Wasn't there anyone who cared about her?
See you at 11pm
