Chapter 2993 Image
Tang He smiled faintly and said, "It's better to be prepared. Taibai isn't a star like Ziwei or Tanlang. They're responsible for calamities and diseases. What are you afraid of?"
Is this a question of fear?
Anyone who has anything to do with gods, or even becomes a god, would have to think more, right?
And what if there are gods in this world?
"Koko, don't you think so?"
Koko: "That's a planet. There's no life on it. It's not a god. So it should be OK for the host to name it after himself."
Zhou Man: "...This is not a question of naming rights."
She looked up at the group and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Bai Shan glanced at Tang He. He didn't know what Tang He was trying to do, but as for himself... "Aren't you always worried that the medical department's spread is too slow? Even if you personally go to every village to provide free medical treatment, not many people are willing to come to the medical department for treatment. But if it was a god who persuaded them, I think they would be more convinced and more willing to try to see a doctor, right?"
Zhou Man tilted his head slightly, "Because I'm a mortal, they don't trust me?"
"Since you're a deity, they'll trust you more. Think about the people in the village. Ever since they found out you're the reincarnation of a fairy from the seat of Taishang Laojun, aren't they more willing to consult you about their illnesses?"
You know, in the past, Zhou Man would chase after people and beg them for medical consultation.
"There's also the Taoist temple. It used to be quite deserted, but ever since word got out that you were a fairy under the Taishang Laojun, and my mother-in-law gradually recovered after taking the medicine there, hasn't it attracted many believers? Some even come from Lin County to ask for divination."
Now they still keep in contact with Dao and Daoxu through correspondence. Daoxu has complained more than once that because the Taoist temple is becoming more and more popular, they can't go far. Every time they go for training, their uncle will write to them within two months urging them to go back to help.
After so many years, they still haven't left Jiannan Road, which makes them very worried.
Zhou Man became thoughtful. "I don't mind being a god, but does Your Majesty mind too?"
Tang He simply waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty won't care about this. You are targeting Taibai, not some other star."
He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, Qingzhou is far away from the emperor. Who would know that this was your doing? Can't the people spread it among themselves?"
Bai Shan disagreed and said, "Your Majesty is not stupid. The rumor in the village that Manbao is a fairy has been widely believed, but Master, Uncle, and Daohe all knew it was a lie and even guessed who started it. This shows that even the most intelligent people can't be fooled."
He said, "Since I can't fool smart people, then I won't lie."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "I'll talk to His Majesty and we'll talk to him once he agrees."
Tang He felt a little regretful. He was afraid that the emperor would not agree. It was one thing for it to have been spread out and become an fait accompli, but it was another thing to ask the emperor in advance.
In the former case, even if the emperor knew that Zhou Man and his men had done it on purpose, he would not take it too seriously. After all, Taibai Star was not a calamity star, nor was it a star lord related to imperial power.
As for the latter, even if Taibai would not threaten the emperor, the emperor would not want his subjects to have anything to do with gods, right?
Tang He passed over the matter and sighed, "Alright, it's dawn, let's go wash up and have breakfast."
The four of them went downstairs. Their servants had already brought back hot water and helped them wash up before going downstairs. Tang He was still fanning himself with a fan.
Zhou Man stared at the fan in his hand.
Tang He closed it, handed it to her and asked with a smile, "Want it?"
Zhou Man immediately took it, opened it, fanned it, and looked at the fan. "The words on this fan look familiar."
Tang He put his hands behind his back and said, "This is what your senior Yang wrote. Doesn't it look good?"
Zhou Man nodded, turned around and said to Bai Shan, "Let's go buy some white fans and then come back to paint and write on them ourselves."
Bai Shan hummed, then smiled and said, "So you're Taibai's reincarnation?"
Zhou Man felt his feet itchy and couldn't help wanting to kick him. Bai Shan dodged with a laugh and ran ahead.
Tang He had a very sharp nose and was very lucky. The shop he found made excellent steamed buns. Zhou Man and his friends had arrived early enough, but they still had to wait in line for a long time before it was their turn. So the four of them thought about it carefully and bought a lot of buns, planning to give some to Bai Erlang if they couldn't finish them.
Bai Erlang had just gotten up at this time. When they brought the fire wrapped in dry lotus leaves to the governor's mansion, he was waiting for breakfast in the living room.
Zhou Man glanced at the breakfast on the table and asked curiously, "Why aren't you eating?"
"Wait for the prince," Bai Erlang said, "The prince has just finished practicing swordsmanship and is bathing and changing clothes."
Zhou Man then encouraged Bai Erlang, "You should also learn from the prince and exercise more often."
Bai Erlang: "Why don't I see you guys exercising?"
Bai Shan immediately said: "Who said we don't exercise? We all do boxing in the morning. Well, today is an exception. We will continue tomorrow."
Zhou Man glanced at Bai Erlang and nodded, "Okay."
Mingda smiled, turned around and said to Bai Erlang, "Let's get up early and go for a walk next time."
"Are you going for a walk?" The prince came in, steaming. He glanced at the few people and his eyes fell on the lotus leaves they were holding. "What is this?"
Tang He hesitated for a moment, not wanting the prince to eat what they brought, but he put it down and said, "The fire-baked bread we had outside was pretty good, so I bought some and sent it over."
The prince nodded slightly, and his servant came forward to open it and took out the fire. Eunuch Wu broke off a piece and ate it first. After confirming that there was no problem, he presented it to the prince, princess and prince consort.
While they were eating, Zhou Man and the others sat aside and waited.
After breakfast, the prince took them to the yamen in front. He wanted to meet with the officials of Qingzhou today and encourage them to dry more salt and work hard for their Li royal family and the Jin Dynasty.
On the way, seeing Zhou Man looking like he was hesitant to speak, he stopped and asked, "Just say whatever you want to say. Why do you look so embarrassed?"
Zhou Man said: "Your Highness is already very busy. I am hesitating whether to tell you this little thing and trouble you."
"You can even ask me for money. Is there anything more annoying than this?"
Zhou Man: ...It seems not.
She said, "Okay, then I'll tell you quietly. It's from my mouth and in your ears. You can't tell anyone else, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if it got out."
The prince looked at Tang He and others standing aside.
Zhou Man sighed and said, "They all know it, so there's no need to avoid it. Your Highness, what do you think of me being the brightest star in the night sky?"
The prince looked at her in confusion, "What is that?"
Manbao pointed in the direction of the vanished Morning Star and said, "That's Taibai Star."
The prince looked her up and down, "You? Why do you want to be Taibai Star? Isn't Taibai the son of the White Emperor? Even if you want to be one, it should be Baishan, right?"
