Chapter 1685 Caution
Although Manbao couldn't plead for her, he still came up with a bad idea for her, "Just keep asking for help. If His Majesty still doesn't agree, roll on the ground. He will naturally agree without any other choice."
Changyu:...I always think this is a bad idea.
Mingda also felt that, so he reached out and pushed Manbao, "Don't make trouble with Sister Changyu."
Chang Yu thought about it for a long time and felt that she had no other option besides this, so she sighed and ran to chat with her father while avoiding the Queen during dinner.
The emperor was quite happy. After all, it was rare for father and daughter to sit together and talk. However, after only a while of talking, Chang Yu began to talk about how handsome the Korean envoy she saw two days ago was.
Anyway, the father knew that they had gone to see them, so there was no need to pretend to hide it.
The emperor used his toes to figure out what she wanted to do and was a little worried.
Of course, Chang Yu was not just a coquettish person. This afternoon, Man Bao and Ming Da helped her come up with some reasons to persuade the emperor.
Mingda said: "You said it was for the sake of good relations between the two countries. Since Goguryeo has sent tributes, it is obvious that it is determined to bring peace between the two countries. In this case, why doesn't Emperor Father favor them?"
Man Bao then said: "I think Goguryeo has come to pay tribute after many years, and it still has a disobedient heart. In this case, it is better to put them in the Guozi prison, teach them out, and let them go back to educate the people, and also let their king and
Your Majesty, take a look at my great Jin spirit."
Chang Yu had a headache, "The reasons you gave are exactly the opposite. Which one do you want?"
Mingda covered his mouth and smiled: "You talk about Manbao first, and then talk about me. This is called suppressing first and then raising."
Man Bao nodded, "That's right."
Before leaving, Man Bao still expressed his dissatisfaction with Gao You and others, "I really don't know what you like about them. There are so many talented people in the Imperial College."
"I like faces," Chang Yu said, "Those nerds in the Imperial College are not fun at all."
Man Bao didn't think they were nerds. On the contrary, because of Bai Shan and Bai Cheng, she spent a lot of time with them. She also thought they were too lively.
Neither of them could convince the other, and in the end Man Bao returned to the East Palace, while Chang Yu considered interceding with the emperor.
The emperor originally wanted to refuse directly, but when he heard that Chang Yu was involved in state affairs and she was speaking eloquently, he couldn't help but ask her, "Who gave you this idea?"
Changyu didn't want to betray his friends and sisters, so he shook his head, "I thought of it alone. Father, do you think I am right?"
The emperor pondered and said nothing.
Changyu shook his hand and said: "Father, just agree to me. Anyway, there are only a few places in the Imperial College. They are envoys from foreign countries. You can't choose the right ones if you give them three provinces."
The emperor asked: "Do you still know the three provinces?"
"Father~~" Chang Yu shook the emperor's hand and looked eagerly.
After all, it was a rare request from his daughter. After pondering for a while, the emperor nodded, "Okay, let them go to the four schools to study. After they complete their studies, let them go back and educate their people."
Changyu became happy and said, "Father, you are so kind!"
"Now can you tell me who taught you these words?"
Changyu looked at her father's face and felt that it was okay and didn't look angry, so he laughed and said, "Mingda and Manbao taught me."
Forget it Ming Da, what happened to Zhou Man?
The emperor frowned, then complained to him, and then turned to the dean, Yu Lai, to intercede?
He glanced at his silly daughter and asked, "When did they teach you?"
"This afternoon, I thought about it for a long time before I organized my words. Father, am I great?"
The emperor nodded perfunctorily, "Awesome, okay, you can go back, I will let Honglu Temple make arrangements tomorrow."
After Chang Yu left, the emperor said to Gu Zhong: "Go and ask the attendants serving the two princesses this afternoon, what Zhou Man told them?"
Gu Zhong knew that the emperor was a little angry at Zhou Man's double-dealing, so he quickly retreated, and after a long time he came back with an incomprehensible expression.
He recounted everything that the attendants heard today. Not talking about him, even the emperor would be angry or happy, "The reason why she complained to me was because of her likes and dislikes, and she gave Changyu advice."
Do you miss your friendship?"
Gu Zhong smiled and consoled him: "Your Majesty, the princesses and Mr. Zhou are still young and have unstable temperaments. They are not as stubborn as the elders in the court, so naturally they will come up with their own ideas."
After saying that, he smiled and said: "I think that Mr. Zhou gave the princess advice because they are friends, so he can't lose face."
The emperor was not so angry now. After all, Zhou Man clearly told Chang Yu that she had just filed a black lawsuit against him. It was not two-faced, but he still snorted.
Gu Zhong said again, "But Mr. Zhou is really smart, and he came up with such a good excuse in such a short time."
The emperor glanced at Gu Zhong and said, "You have a good impression of Zhou Man."
Gu Zhong's back tensed and his heart tightened, but he said with a relaxed and annoyed look on his face: "Your Majesty has noticed that, who wouldn't like a girl as smart as Mr. Zhou? I just looked at the two of them.
As a princess, when I saw Mr. Zhou, I felt that her innocence was somewhat similar to the two princesses."
The emperor mentioned it casually, and after hearing what Gu Zhong said, he smiled and nodded, "There are too many old and cunning adults in the palace. It's rare for someone young and innocent to come in, which is more fresh."
Gu Zhong responded with a smile on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it seemed that he couldn't be too close to Zhou Man in the future.
At this time, Gu Zhong's apprentice had just boiled the medicine bag. After Gu Zhong served the emperor and went to bed, he returned to his room. His apprentice immediately brought a sealed foot-soaking bucket and said, "Master, I will give it to you today."
When Mrs. Zhou went to the East Palace, she gave me a medicine bag, saying it was for you to soak your feet, which can relieve pain and remove rheumatism."
Gu Zhong said while slipping on his shoes: "Didn't I tell you not to soak any more medicinal herbs? The smell will spread and the masters will smell bad."
His disciple said: "Master, don't worry. Look at this barrel, Master Zhou painted it. Once the lid is closed, the smell of the medicine will be much lighter. Wait for a while after soaking your feet and then open the window. Not much will come out."
."
He said: "The medicine package is cooked over there in the kitchen, so the smell can't be transmitted here, so you can have a drink without worries."
He felt very distressed, "The weather has started to get cold these days, and Master is in so much pain that he can't sleep anymore."
Gu Zhong stopped talking and allowed his apprentice to take off his shoes and socks and soak his feet in the medicine bucket. He let out a sigh of relief and warned: "In the future, take things from Mr. Zhou to avoid people.
Don’t tell anyone about our close dealings with Mr. Zhou, you know?”
