Chapter 1481 Heartache
Wei Zhi was very angry. If the empress hadn't been virtuous and saved him twice, he would have couldn't help but have a detailed talk with the emperor about Empress Dowager Qin Xuan and Empress Lu.
But for the sake of the queen, he endured it, and then his heart became even more blocked.
When the emperor saw that his face was turning blue, he instantly felt refreshed. He ate two more bowls of rice during dinner, and then managed to hold on. After dinner, he and the queen went for a walk in the garden to eat.
The Queen smiled and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"
Of course the emperor couldn't tell her, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just got a sudden appetite."
The queen didn't ask any further questions and said with a smile, "Then next time I see Zhou Man, I will ask her for some hawthorn pills. She gave Mingda a bottle last time. When I ate it, it was sweeter than the ones made by Taiyuan Hospital. It was so delicious."
.”
The emperor readily agreed.
But after leaving the palace, Wei Zhi became more and more unconvinced, so he spoke to his wife for a long time. Mrs. Wei had no choice but to send a message to the palace the next day to tactfully admonish the queen.
The queen was slightly startled, and then she realized what happened in the front hall yesterday.
She thought for a while and said with a smile, "Madam, go back and reassure Mr. Wei that Zhou Man's great achievements did not come overnight. Not to mention that she cured me and the prince, the review they received from the Imperial Medical Office was enough for the emperor to admit them."
.”
Mrs. Wei bent down slightly and smiled and said, "That's what I say, but after all, Dr. Zhou is still young and has become a fifth-rank official. His rapid promotion will inevitably cause criticism."
The queen shook her head and said with a smile, "There is nothing we can do about it."
She said meaningfully, "It has to be sealed a little higher, and then it can be lowered later. Otherwise, it will leave the palace as soon as it is lowered. Who can do the work in the Imperial Medical Office?"
Mrs. Wei was stunned. After leaving the palace, she told Wei Zhi exactly what she said, and asked curiously, "I have never seen this little doctor Zhou. Why, is she very...naughty?"
Wei Zhi also started thinking, and after a while he shook his head and said, "I'm not naughty, I'm still a very obedient and well-behaved child, that's just..."
Wei Zhi thought about it carefully and secretly thought that she was a bit brave. Not only did she dare to think but she also dared to do it, and she was also smart. It was indeed easy for teenagers to do wrong things. It was normal for the queen to want to protect her with a high position.
.
Wei Zhi felt relieved and saw that Yang Heshu had packed up the Chongwen Hall and started letting people move in, so he let go.
Man Bao didn't know that she was going to be an official. She took the emperor's certificate and went to the Ministry of Industry to get her official uniform, official hat and official seal. That night she wore the official uniform and had dinner with everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but look at her.
It was such a coincidence that Bai Dalang happened to be sitting opposite her.
Looking at Man Bao who was showing off in official uniform across from him, Bai Dalang was so riddled with wounds that he didn't want to talk. God knows, when he was attending class in the four schools a few days ago, just after class, a classmate from the next class came back from a riding and archery class.
He came and told him, "Bai Zhi, Bai Cheng from Taixue is your biological brother?"
Bai Dalang's first impression was that his brother was in trouble, so he immediately nodded nervously and asked, "What's wrong?"
The other party said to him with a look of envy and confusion, "Your brother has been selected into the Chongwen Hall, and he will soon enter the Chongwen Hall to read to the prince."
Bai Dalang was stunned for a moment. He came back to his senses and ran to the Imperial Academy to find his brother, and then he confirmed the matter.
Bai Dalang has become accustomed to it, although he still doesn't know how Bai Erlang was selected into the Chongwen Hall.
However, many things in this world are like this. Who would have thought that Bai Er would be able to study at Taixue two years ago?
You know, he couldn't even get into Yizhou Prefecture School.
Bai Dalang looked up at Bai Shan, then straightened his head and looked at Zhou Man across from him. After looking at their ages, he was discouraged. Forget it, the age difference was too big. He didn't want to play behind them.
After eating, Bai Dalang patted Bai Erlang on the shoulder and said, "Erlang, you can play well with your senior sisters and brothers from now on."
Bai Erlang slapped his hand away and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Dalang: "I'm a little melancholy, but you still don't pat your shoulder."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and raised his shoulders, "Then you pat me again? But use less strength. The pat you gave me just now hurts a lot."
Bai Dalang looked at his shoulder, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't do it anymore. Not only am I feeling melancholy, but I'm also panicking. Go ahead and pack your things for the palace."
"Man Bao has asked Eunuch Wu that there are many things we cannot bring into the palace. Apart from a few sets of clothes and shoes, we can only bring some books and notes at most. If we want to bring Green Ears in, we have to slowly apply to the Imperial Army.
You still have to pay.”
Bai Erlang and his eldest brother talked about these troublesome things and said, "You have to pay two ounces of money every month for the green ears to enter the palace. If you have to pay more for the feed, it is much more expensive than raising them at home."
Bai Dalang...
Bai Dalang said angrily, "Aren't there horses in the palace? Why do you have to bring them?"
"That's not ours. No matter how busy we are when we go home every day, we have to feed them some beans ourselves. Now they are very close to us," Bai Erlang said, "We asked Daji, this is how we have to raise horses.
We raise them so that they can get close to us and listen to us."
Bai Dalang said, "You are not short of such a little money, just pay it."
He said, "It's just right. You don't have to spend any money for food and accommodation in the palace, and you don't even have to wear the Imperial Guard's shackles. How great. Just treat them as if they eat what you spent."
Bai Erlang said, "It doesn't cost anything for us to go to the Imperial College."
Bai Dalang was heartbroken and almost forgot that Bai Shan and Bai Erlang entered the Imperial College because of Bai Qienyin. After the imperial court treated Zhonglie preferentially, it not only exempted them from the bondage, but also gave them some monthly subsidies.
Unlike him, he studied hard for ten years and had to pay to study after passing four majors.
Bai Dalang raised his hand and patted his shoulder heavily again, asking, "Is Man Bao reluctant to part with that little money?"
Bai Erlang said, "Yes, not only is she unwilling to pay, Bai Shan and I are also not willing to pay, but there is no way. If you want to play with Lu Er and the others, you must have money."
"Then just stop worrying about it. Let's go. I'll show you what you've packed. Don't bring anything into the palace that shouldn't be brought into the palace."
Bai Erlang was full of confidence, "I just brought clothes, shoes, socks and some books."
Then Bai Dalang took out several story books from his bookcase, and he looked up at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang was a little sluggish and asked, "Are story books also prohibited items?"
Bai Dalang immediately confiscated these story books and said, "If you have nothing to do, read more and read less story books. By the way, what should I do with the story books you wrote for Mr. Xiang?"
"It's okay. We take a bath every ten days. We can just take it out to the bookstore when we leave the palace."
But Bai Dalang suddenly discovered what was most heartbreaking about him. He could no longer see his brother's manuscripts in the first place.
Bai Dalang was heartbroken beyond measure. He stood up with a few storybooks in his arms and said with a deep look on his face, "I will be the only one living in this courtyard from now on. It seems so empty."
"It's okay," Bai Erlang comforted casually, "Brother, we come back to stay for two days every eight days. If you are usually afraid, then move in with Lixue and the others."
