Chapter 2795 Arrival
Even the eunuchs could ride fast horses. Even though they were pulling three large carts full of gifts and luggage, they still rushed to Luozhou at a very fast speed.
They set out before dawn in the morning, resting occasionally along the way and changing horses at the post station.
Manbao was prepared to change horses from the beginning, so he took his own Chiji and an official horse with him. When he arrived at the post station, he exchanged the official horse for the horse, and then took turns riding the two horses. He arrived in Luoyang in three days.
But when they got off the horses, their legs were shaking a little, and even Manbao walked with his feet turned outward. Fortunately, they felt better after turning around.
Man Bao looked up at the city gate of Luoyang and said directly, "Let's go find Prince Gong."
In Luozhou, apart from Zheng Gu who had already been arrested, the only acquaintance she had was Prince Gong's family.
As the group entered the city and passed by an inn, Manbao turned to the innkeeper Zheng and said, "Please settle down here first and I'll let you know."
"good."
Manbao took a group of people to Prince Gong's Mansion.
When Prince Gong heard that an angel had come and his parents had sent him many gifts, he was overjoyed and immediately took his son's hand and the princess out to receive the order with a smile on his face. However, when he arrived at the front yard, he saw Zhou Man looking around with his head tilted up.
Prince Gong paused and couldn't help rubbing his eyes. When he looked carefully, it was still Zhou Man.
Prince Gong let go of his son's hand and turned to return to the inner courtyard.
The princess quickly pulled him back, "Your Majesty..."
Manbao heard the noise and withdrew his gaze from the garden. He looked at Prince Gong and his family. A big smile appeared on his face. He clasped his hands together and bowed in greeting. He said happily: "This subordinate greets Prince Gong, the princess and the young master."
She said, "I have come to visit the prince and princess on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen."
The princess was also very familiar with Zhou Man. After all, they met every now and then during the latter half of Prince Gong's weight loss and recovery from his leg injury.
To be honest, if it weren't for the little disputes between Zhou Man and her husband, they could actually get along very well, of course, in private.
Princess Gong had a very good relationship with Princess Changyu, and she also had a good impression of Zhou Man.
The princess pulled the sour-faced Prince Gong forward.
Even when he got close, Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man in disbelief, "Are you an angel?"
Manbao grinned, "Yes, Prince Gong can listen to the order."
An eunuch beside Zhou Man coughed lightly and whispered, "Your Highness, quickly set up a case to receive the decree."
Prince Gong then asked someone to prepare the incense table.
The eunuch then took out a yellow silk from a box, unfolded it and read out the decree.
The gist of it is that the weather in Chang'an has been very cold recently. The emperor and the empress can feel the whistling cold wind even in the Taiji Hall, and they deeply feel that life outside is not easy either.
I heard that Luozhou is even colder this year than last year. You have an injury on your leg. Do you feel any pain?
Your legs hurt, but your father and mother's hearts hurt even more, so much so that they can't rest day or night, so they specially sent Zhou Man, the skilled doctor from the Imperial Hospital, to see you. We hope you can take good care of yourself.
Only when you are well can your parents be well.
I don't know if you have all the herbs, so I sent some herbal supplements with you. The list is as follows.
The eunuch began to read the list.
They were said to be medicinal supplements, but what the emperor took out from his own inner treasury included not only pearls and jade, but also a box of very precious and unique calligraphy and paintings.
Anyway, Manbao felt quite jealous when he heard this. The emperor was really rich.
The eunuch finished reading the gift list until his mouth was dry, then he handed a roll of yellow silk to Prince Gong, and everyone looked at him.
Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man, and then looked at Zhou Man again. Although he wanted to kick him out, he didn't have the courage.
If he dared to kick them out, the imperial censors in the capital would scold him to death the moment he kicked them out, so he could only swallow his anger and look at the princess, gritting his teeth and saying, "Princess, please make the arrangements."
The princess smiled and said to everyone, "I have arranged a guest house for you. Come, take Master Zhou and the others to the guest house to rest."
Manbao and his group followed the steward of the palace to the guest house.
Because Zhou Man was a female guest, her residence was different from theirs. It was on the other side of the guest house, closer to the inner courtyard, a separate courtyard, and Xibing and she lived in it.
Daji also wanted to follow, which made the steward of the palace look at him again and again.
Manbao pretended not to understand what he meant. Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, he was about to speak when he said, "He has been my parent since I was little. It's enough to let him live in the same courtyard with me. No need to make any extra arrangements."
The manager then agreed.
Manbao took a look at the main room of the guest house. It was quite nice, big enough, and clean.
The servants sent by the palace swiftly helped them bring in their luggage. Just as they were about to unpack and put it in order, Xi Bing quickly stopped them. She said, "I'll take care of all this myself."
Xibing took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into their hands, saying with a smile, "My master has been very tired all the way, and I would like to ask my sisters to help him get some hot water for washing up."
The maid in the palace took the money and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem."
Go downstairs and get them some hot water.
Manbao hadn't washed her hair or taken a bath for three days, and she had been on the road all the time. The road was dusty and her body was very dirty. She not only took a bath, but also washed her hair. Then she sat on the couch and let Xibing wipe her hair.
She calculated the time herself and asked, "Are the people from Dali Temple still on the way?"
In fact, they set out on the same day as Dr. Lu from the Dali Temple and others, but they were just faster.
Xibing asserted, "It will take at least another day for them to arrive."
Manbao yawned and said to Xibing, "You should go wash up too. We'll rest today and start working after we've rested up enough."
Xibing asked in a low voice: "Sir, the servants of the palace are all guarding outside. Will it be inconvenient for us to live in the palace?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "It's more convenient to live in the palace. It's okay. I'll need to borrow Prince Gong's reputation later. I'll ask him for help later."
Xibing always felt that when adults asked him to do something, they meant to talk to him, but didn’t everyone in the family say that adults and Prince Gong had a very good relationship?
Manbao took a short nap on the bed, and after he had rested enough, he dressed up and went to meet Prince Gong and his family in a refreshed mood.
When Prince Gong saw her, he snorted and turned his head away.
The princess smiled and asked, "Master Zhou, are you comfortable living here? If there's anything you need, let me know and I'll have my servants get it for you."
Manbao smiled and said, "It's quite good. The things inside are very complete. I don't need to buy anything else."
She also greeted the princess enthusiastically, "Princess, are you doing well? I see you look a little tired. Would you like me to take a look at you?"
The princess naturally agreed and immediately sat down and stretched out her wrist.
Manbao looked back slightly, and Xibing immediately came up with the medicine box.
Manbao opened the medicine box and took out the pulse pillow to examine the princess.
Seeing that they could chat so well without him, Prince Gong couldn't help but snort in his heart and glanced at the two of them.
See you tomorrow
