Chapter 2810 Push
There were a lot of things listed on the schedule, but when he actually ate them, the young master understood why his father hated this plan so much.
Because the food was not tasty at all, the best things turned out to be rice and steamed buns, which at least had a little sweetness.
Dishes for people who want to lose weight should be light with less oil and salt. Since Prince Gong is so fat, he naturally likes food with strong flavors. The young master follows his father's diet, so his taste is naturally not much lighter.
So within two days, the young master couldn't stand it anymore. He wiped his tears in front of Zhou Man and said, "Master Zhou, is there no salt in the palace?"
The young master was only seven years old. Although he was chubby, his fatness at this time could still be called cute. He was not as obese as Prince Gong. Therefore, Zhou Man's attitude towards him was much better. She said, "Losing weight is like this. You need a light diet, and salt is the most important thing to control."
Seeing his tearful eyes, Manbao felt a little sympathetic and said, "Why don't I give you an extra piece of meat for dinner tonight."
The young master immediately shook his head, "I don't want to eat more meat. Can I have another bowl of rice?"
Mr. Zhou cooked the meat directly in water with just a little salt. It was not tasty at all and was not even as delicious as white rice and steamed buns.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Half a bowl."
The young master breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left happily.
During dinner, Prince Gong was unhappy, "Why can he have an extra half bowl of rice, but I can't?"
Zhou Man, who was supervising on the side, said without looking up, "The young master is still growing physically and mentally. Although I think the rice and flour I give him are enough, if he still wants to eat more, perhaps he needs it for his mental development, so I can increase it appropriately."
After saying this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Prince Gong, saying, "But Your Highness doesn't need it."
At his age, it is impossible for him to grow taller, and it is unlikely that he will grow smarter. He may just want to eat simply because he wants to eat.
Prince Gong: ...
Princess Gong lowered her head, suppressed her laughter, and then raised her head to pick up a piece of food for her son with her chopsticks. "Eat quickly. You have a lot of homework lately. After you finish eating, go for a walk. You still need to exercise when you come back."
The young master lowered his head, finished his share of food, and then went for a walk obediently.
Prince Gong was too fat. Unlike the young prince who could practice martial arts in the indoor martial arts field, he had another way of exercising. He could do it while sitting or lying down, but it required quite a bit of effort.
The father and son also stopped having snacks and fruits. Although Zhou Man still gave them fruits, the amount was much reduced. That would have been fine, but what made them sad was that there was no more snacks left.
In less than three days, Prince Gong and the young master's appetites had dropped to a trickle. Sometimes they could hardly walk when they saw the servants' meals.
I always feel that the food the servants eat tastes better than theirs.
But the results were also gratifying. Although it was only three days, when he was weighed, Prince Gong had lost three kilograms, almost one kilogram a day.
The young master lost weight a little slower, but he also lost a kilogram in three days. Zhou Man was very satisfied with this.
Prince Gong was too tired to use his brain.
Because the young master still had to go to school, Zhou Man didn't set a long exercise time for him, just quarter of an hour in the morning, quarter of an hour at noon, and quarter of an hour in the evening, which was a perfect combination of work and rest.
Prince Gong spent almost the entire day in a cycle of eating-resting-exercise-resting-eating-exercise. When he returned to his room, his mind was already sluggish. He asked Princess Gong, "Has Zhou Man not begged you yet?"
Princess Gong shook her head. "I heard that the angels from the capital are still investigating. Lord Zhou has only gone out once in the past two days. Didn't you see that?"
"It's almost New Year's Day. Can Yu Huai find out? If he can't, come and beg me, you idiot."
He just wanted Zhou Man to divert his attention, as his current life was too difficult.
Princess Gong smiled and covered her lips. "I've asked Lady Zhou. She said she's already submitted a memorial to His Majesty and His Majesty, saying she'll wait until His Majesty recovers before leaving. She expects to stay until the first month of next year. If His Majesty isn't feeling well by then, His Majesty may summon you to the capital to continue your stay."
Prince Gong: ...
He didn't want to go to the capital.
Even though he was being tormented by Zhou Man here, this was his palace after all. Although Princess Gong also cared about him, he could still get something to eat if he was careful.
But it would be different if he went to Beijing. His mother would definitely send Aunt Shang to keep an eye on him, and then he wouldn't be able to eat a single bit.
Prince Gong asked, "How much weight does she consider healthy?"
"At least 160 kilograms."
Prince Gong stood up and left, "Then she will stay in Luozhou for the rest of her life. I will sleep in the study tonight."
He didn't want to see the people who had persecuted him these days.
Princess Gong watched him leave and shook her head helplessly.
Prince Gong sat in his study, lost in thought. He wasn't thinking about losing weight, but about the fake medicine case. He had the palace's chief secretary summoned and asked, "When was the fake medicine delivered to the Luozhou Medical Bureau?"
The Chief Secretary said, "We speculate that it was around October. Zheng Gu happened to receive a batch of medicinal herbs at that time. As far as we know, Zheng Gu sent the November batch of medicinal herbs to other counties for disaster relief."
Prince Gong snorted coldly and said, "No wonder. He couldn't take back his actions, so he had no choice but to make the best of it. At that time, the emperor had not yet returned to the court, and those fools in the court who intercepted the medicinal materials and food were still alive and well."
The Chief Secretary frowned and said, "Your Highness, we should impeach Luozhou for this matter. You are a vassal king. Even if you don't have the power to govern the local area, you still have the responsibility to supervise and correct local officials."
Prince Gong said: "Isn't the angel right here? Why go so far away?"
The Chief Secretary asked directly, "When did the prince tell the angel about this?"
He paused and added, "Tell Master Yu and Master Xia."
Zhou Man is also an angel, but she doesn't care about this matter. It's useless to tell her.
Prince Gong said perfunctorily, "Wait a little longer. Maybe they'll figure it out on their own without us even telling them."
The Chief Secretary was very unhappy.
The Chief Secretary of Prince Gong's Palace was carefully selected by the Emperor, but the decision was made at the suggestion of the Empress, so the Chief Secretary had a somewhat upright temper. Although he was the Chief Secretary of the Prince Gong's Palace, he still received a salary from the court, so he still tended to plead for the people and was very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior.
After Prince Gong understood the situation, he coaxed the Chief Secretary away. He then called his confidant to ask, "Have you found out? Where did the pharmacist from the Luozhou Medical Bureau go?"
"I found out. He's almost turned into an ice sculpture. He's under a snowdrift outside the city. He shouldn't be discovered until the snow melts."
Prince Gong frowned upon hearing this. "Who killed him? Never mind who killed him. Dig him out and lead someone to find him. Zhou Man is too idle. Give him something to do. Yu Huai and the others are too slow."
He wanted to rest for two days because he was too tired.
I originally wanted to wait for Zhou Man to speak up before asking Princess Gong to do me a favor, but...
See you at 7pm
