Chapter 3059 Forgetting Things
She wanted to ask for help, so she wrote to so many people, but she didn't expect to invite so many people. The most surprising thing was that His Majesty was willing to publicize this matter for her at the grand court meeting.
This is more useful than any other benefit.
As the saying goes, if the leader likes something, the subordinates will like it even more.
Zhou Man held the letter close to his heart and promised Keke, "I will work hard for Your Majesty in the future."
Koko: ...Why is she saying that to him? Besides, it's been treating her well, and even spent more time with her. Why doesn't she just let it do its job properly?
How much affection does the emperor have for her?
Zhou Man was delighted, and a smile spread across his face. "Since the emperor has seen that I'm obedient, perhaps he'll bring this up a few more times at the Grand Court. It would be even better if he could issue an official document to the county magistrates."
Koko thought that he would be the one who benefited in the end, so he stopped being jealous and said, "Host, work hard!"
Zhou Man turned around and wanted to share this with someone, but when he reached the small gate, he remembered that Bai Shan had gone to the countryside.
She could only turn back and say to Xibing who was holding her, "Let's go find the princess."
Princess Mingda was also alone at home. She had just woken up from her nap when Zhou Man came in. Seeing Zhou Man, she waved and said, "Come quickly. I want to have osmanthus cake this afternoon."
Zhou Man: "...You're obviously pregnant with a boy, why do you like sweet things so much?"
Princess Mingda was stunned for a moment when these words came out. The senior palace maids beside her were also stunned. Then they looked at Zhou Man in surprise, "Master Zhou, is what you said true?"
Zhou Man sat down next to Mingda and ate a piece of dessert. He looked up at Mingda, his face bewildered. "What?"
The maid quickly said, "As you just said, our princess is pregnant with a boy."
Zhou Man blinked and looked at Mingda, "Did I say that?"
Mingda looked at her and nodded.
Zhou Man: …She couldn’t help but ask Keke in her heart, “Keke, did I say it?”
Koko: "Host, you said it."
Zhou Man's face was filled with sorrow as he put down the snack he was about to take a bite of. "Mingda, I realized I'm sick."
Seeing how sad she was, Mingda couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to call Bai Shan back?"
"I've been forgetting things more and more lately," she said. "Before, I'd just flash back to what I needed to do the next day before going to bed. It was so fast, I could think of it all in just a few breaths. And then the next day, I wouldn't even have to think about it anymore."
"But now, before I go to sleep, I think about what I need to do the next day. It feels like only a moment, but when I come to my senses, two quarters of an hour have already passed." Zhou Man looked worried. "The problem is, even if I think about it so carefully, I always forget something the next day. Now it's so serious that I even forget what I just said."
Before Mingda could say anything, his aunt beside him laughed and said, "Master Zhou, isn't this something that happens to everyone? Honestly, other people tend to lose things when they're normal, let alone when they're pregnant."
She glanced at Zhou Man's belly, and the smile on her face widened. "Especially someone like you, who is still going to the hospital every day at this stage of the month, and going to Qingzhou every few days, and only resting for two days during the ten-day holiday. I have seen many pregnant women, but this is the first time I have seen someone as healthy as you."
So what's not to like?
This is also the reason why she did not interfere with Princess Mingda following Zhou Man's method of taking care of her pregnancy, because she took such good care of her pregnancy this time.
My aunt praised Zhou Manhao enthusiastically.
Zhou Man was overjoyed. He pinched some snacks and looked at her with sparkling eyes. "Really?"
My aunt nodded vigorously, "Really!"
Zhou Man smiled.
My aunt took the opportunity to ask, "So, Master Zhou, our princess is pregnant with a boy?"
There was nothing to hide, so Zhou Man nodded directly, "That's right!"
Not only did she make it out herself, she also spent points to let Koko see it, so she was absolutely sure.
She not only looked at Mingda's pulse, but also her own, so recently she has been very keen on taking Mingda's and her own pulse, just to become more familiar with the difference between the pulse conditions.
The aunt and the palace maids were all very happy. They couldn't help but put their hands together and chanted Buddha. Thinking that Zhou Man seemed to like Laojun more, they changed their gestures and chanted "Wulian Tianzun".
Zhou Man stared at them blankly, then turned to ask Mingda, "You prefer boys?"
Mingda smiled and said, "I still want to have a girl, but they are all worried that I am not in good health."
So everyone thought that Princess Mingda might only give birth to this one child in her life, and naturally a boy would be best.
Otherwise, even if Bai Erlang didn't dare to take a concubine, who knows if he would feel resentful in private?
Of course, at this time, the prince consort and the princess were deeply in love and had no such dangerous thoughts. But as the princess's people, they had to consider these things.
Of course, in front of the Prince Consort, they didn't dare to say it directly, but said: "This is the eldest son of the Prince Consort and the Princess, so it naturally means something special."
Zhou Man didn't take it to heart, but he remembered Bai Erlang. "I wonder if the three of them are together now, or separated. They've been gone for two days. When will they come back?"
Mingda also thought about it, "It should be possible, aren't they going to the countryside this time to inspect the service?"
Bai Shan and the other two were originally separated, but now they met together. No, it should be said that there were five of them, because County Magistrate Fang and Mr. Cui were also sent out by Bai Shan.
Even County Magistrate Fang and Mr. Cui have been away the whole time. They have been on business trips for half a month. Their beards are growing a little unruly, and their clothes have a bit of... smell.
At this time, the two of them and Bai Shan and the other two were squatting on the roadside, watching the servants go back to work, digging up a section of the road, refilling it with stones and soil, and pulling the stone roller back and forth to press the road surface very flat.
County Magistrate Fang's face was sullen. He said to Bai Shan, "Sir, such lazy and shoddy laborers should be detained and severely punished."
Bai Shan said, "Isn't this a severe punishment?"
County Magistrate Fang believed he loved the people, but at this moment he couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency is too kind."
Mr. Cui couldn't help but nod and said, "Sir, ordinary people have their own way of governing, and unruly people have their own way of governing. They can't be treated the same."
Bai Shan said, "Just follow the laws and rules."
County Magistrate Fang said, "This penalty is too light. I'm afraid they'll become even more aggressive in the future. Furthermore, we've lost their drinking water during this time of rework, and all of this costs money."
Bai Shan remained calm and collected. "Didn't they also punish them by making them work ten more days in the government fields?"
County Magistrate Fang was still unwilling, "Only ten days..."
Bai Shan insisted, "Ten days is enough. This is the amount the county has calculated carefully. The loss of reworking this section of road is equivalent to the wages of all of them."
I am too tired today, so I will only update two chapters and make up for it tomorrow.
PS: After a busy period of time, I finally decided on a decoration company today. Suddenly I realized that I am poor. I will start to make more money the day after tomorrow.
