Chapter 663 Xinbao always has face

Emperor Mingpei listened, nodded again, and said, "That's fine. Civilian doctors have always valued 'secret recipes handed down from ancestors' and the like, and may not offer them even if they have money. But if the secret recipe can be exchanged for a more advanced skill, that's another matter."

The second brother nodded and said, "Xinbao didn't intend to keep it secret anyway, and alchemy has a high threshold. Using this method to teach alchemy has the meaning of fellowship, which is precious and generous."

When Tuanzi saw that the two of them were chatting, she assumed that this matter had nothing to do with her and lowered her head to eat.

As a result, just after taking a bite of food, he suddenly remembered and asked Emperor Mingpei: "Yeah, can Xinbao take Xu Liangxing to Xinbao's place?"

Emperor Mingpei said, "Transfer to the Medical Department? Sure."

Xinbao said "oh" and saw that Yeye was still talking to his second brother. He rolled his eyes and said quickly, "Yeye, can Xinbao go to see Xiaojun tomorrow morning?"

Emperor Mingpei still said, "Okay."

Tuanzi said quickly: "Yeah, Xinbao, can you eat this shad?"

She usually spoke in a casual manner, but when she suddenly spoke in a fast manner, it was obvious that she was trying to cover up her mistake. Everyone else couldn't help but look at her, but Emperor Mingpei remained calm and said, "Okay."

"Yeah, can Xinbao eat this bamboo shoot chicken?"

"Can."

Tuanzi spoke very quickly, asking about three dishes before nonchalantly saying, "Yeah, can Xinbao have a hundred cards?"

Emperor Mingpei said: "No."

Tuanzi finally finished asking questions, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

Several people looked at her silently. She smiled foolishly for a long time, and suddenly felt like something was wrong.

She asked again carefully: "Yeah, did you just say yes?"

Emperor Mingpei said: "I say no, no."

He bit the emphasis.

Tuanzi blinked his eyes and smiled foolishly: "Well, forget it then... Let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Emperor Mingpei said: "Not good."

Tuanzi twisted his little fingers, and after holding it in for a long time, he decisively turned the tables: "Yeah, you don't care about Xinbao anymore, have you forgotten that Xinbao is stupid just because you see that brother is smart!!"

Emperor Mingpei: "...Xinbao is quite stupid."

"That's right!" Tuanzi said with a confident tone: "If Xinbao wasn't stupid, would he think that Yeye couldn't do two things at the same time?"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He was so happy that he put his big hand on Tuanzi's little head and asked, "What kind of card does Xinbao want?"

Tuanzi said weakly: "It's nothing actually."

Emperor Mingpei asked: "What is nothing?"

Tuanzi said, "That's right. People say that the emperor likes to give people the golden medal of immunity from death the most. Xinbao also wants some cards, such as coaxing cards, kissing cards, hug cards... It would be best if there were also cards to avoid punishment, cards to avoid anger, cards that allow anything, cards to get right if you make a mistake, cards to get two rewards if you make a mistake once..."

Emperor Mingpei's mouth twitched: "What is this for?"

"For example, if Xinbao wants Yeye to coax him, then Yeye will give him a coaxing card, and then Yeye will coax Xinbao."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "Xinbao doesn't have a mouth? His little mouth keeps chattering. Can't he speak for himself?"

Tuanzi said confidently: "But sometimes, the mouth may have just said something!? Going back on its words, doesn't the mouth have any dignity?"

Several people couldn't stop laughing.

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, “Then hand over the cards to Yeye, don’t you want to save face?”

Tuanzi was still confident, "Hands have their own ideas. What does that have to do with Xinbao? We kids can't control our hands and feet. Otherwise, why would we fall down so often? You were like this when you were a kid too. Have you forgotten? Some adults can't control their own minds. Otherwise, why would they bite their tongues with their teeth?"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He really is being fooled by his granddaughter every day.

Then he said, "How about this? Ye Ye gives Xin Bao a character, and writes 'Xin Bao's mouth is always respectable', and makes a sign to hang on Xin Bao's face. Then, wouldn't all the other signs be unnecessary? Wouldn't that save a lot of effort?"

Xinbao was stunned.

She thought for a long time and said tactfully: "Yeah, don't you think this is a bit of self-deception?"

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "No, Xinbao, don't worry. Yeye never deceives himself, at most he deceives others."

Xinbao held it in for a long time, but finally gave in.

She said weakly, "What was Yeye talking about with the second brother just now? Do you want Xinbao to help you start?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Emperor Mingpei smiled and seamlessly continued chatting with his second brother.

When he was almost done eating, he said, "Keep an eye on the Medical Department. Gan Yu is very meticulous in his work. He just took over the power for the first time and doesn't dare to make decisions on some matters."

The second brother agreed.

Emperor Mingpei sighed, "Do you know that some people outside are secretly making up stories, saying that there are four unreliable things in the capital: Hanlin Academy articles, Wukusi swords and guns, Guanglu Temple tea and soup, and Imperial Hospital prescriptions."

The second brother was surprised and asked, "There is actually such a saying?"

Emperor Mingpei nodded.

The second brother was speechless for a long while: "..."

Tuanzi already knew about the prescription, so he picked one that interested him: "Why is tea soup unreliable?"

Emperor Mingpei smiled and told her, "At first, our meals were cooked by the Guanglu Temple. When you first entered the palace, didn't you ask Yeye if there were no seasonal vegetables and fruits on the emperor's table? At that time, there really weren't any, because the Guanglu Temple's cooking required rules and pomp. There were only a few dishes, and they all looked good but didn't taste good."

"Later, Emperor Gaozu, the one who built Shengping Palace, built an imperial kitchen in his later years to provide banquets for the royal family... For example, in the previous palace banquets, what we ate was made in the imperial kitchen, and what the ministers ate was made in Guangsi."

Tuanzi nodded suddenly.

Then the grandparents finished their meal and continued chatting, while Yan Qingshan and his second brother got up to go to work.

Emperor Mingpei said to Xinbao: "Xinbao, in fact, people like Xu Liangxing are only suitable for doing things, not for being human beings."

Xinbao asked, "Why?"

Ming Peidi said: "In the simplest way, he obviously had a better way to deal with this matter, but he just sued his boss directly. This is not a good way to behave."

Xinbao argued, "But he only said that because Xinbao asked. Xinbao had met him before, and he never mentioned this. If Xinbao made a very powerful medicine, but his boss didn't let Xinbao tell anyone, Xinbao would be unhappy. If all bosses were like this, then many powerful medicines might not be known to the world."

Emperor Mingpei was speechless.

Yuan Shenjue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Bai Gusheng will never be able to be as good as Hao Huashi, and Xinbao will never be able to be versatile. She has her own way that she is willing to stick to."

Emperor Mingpei sighed and said, "That's true."

He didn't say anything more, and after a while, he called Xu Liangxing in.

Emperor Mingpei saw that Xu Liangxing was very restrained at first, but as he talked with Xinbao, the two became excited and had long forgotten that there was an emperor beside them.

Emperor Mingpei smiled and shook his head, then got up and left without disturbing them.
