The prince didn't expect that there was such a thing. He laughed and looked at Man Bao: "So your surname is Xia, are there still people in your mother's family?"

"No more," Old Zhoutou said again: "Her mother was originally a daughter in their family. It was only after her grandfather and grandmother passed away that her parents took her back to her hometown."

The prince picked up the tea at hand, hid his smile by drinking tea, and simply continued to ask, "Then where is her mother's family? Well, I remember it was in Shangzhou?"

He seemed to have seen it when he first checked Zhou Man's details.

Old Zhoutou nodded repeatedly, "It's in Shangzhou. Manbao's parents also left some property for her in Shangzhou. I don't know if it's still there after all these years."

The prince smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to go take a look and find out if you are there?"

Lao Zhoutou sighed, "I've always wanted to go, but Manbao has never been able to find time. He can't even leave the capital at will during the New Year. We people go to something with an unfair name, so we've been putting it off."

Prince Gong said: "After all, I don't have the kindness to raise you. If you have the intention, how can you not squeeze out a few days?"

Mingda glanced at Prince Gong with disapproval, "Third brother!"

Prince Gong sneered and glanced at Zhou Man coldly, his attitude clear.

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what he said was right. She really didn't care enough, otherwise she could always squeeze it out as long as she squeezed in time.

The prince frowned slightly, naturally he didn't want his people to be attacked for being unfilial. He thought for a moment, glanced at Queen Gong and said: "Shangzhou is not very far from the capital. In this way, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will be alone."

You have a few days off, so you can take the opportunity to go back and deal with these things."

Man Bao felt a little uneasy, but also a little happy, and said in surprise: "Really?"

The prince smiled and nodded, "I wouldn't lie to you about these things."

Bai Erlang quietly pulled Man Bao and Bai Shan's back corners.

Bai Shan pulled back his clothes and asked for leave without changing his expression, "I don't trust her to go alone. I also ask Your Highness to allow us to take a few days off and accompany her."

The prince glanced at them and nodded slightly in agreement.

Bai Shan lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and Bai Erlang was also very happy.

Manbao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were going with her.

Eunuch Wu came in quickly and nodded to the prince, indicating that the meal was ready.

Mingda and Changyu sat down, and then asked Manbao to sit down with them. The prince simply kept the old Zhoutou Qian and Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It happened that he had something to ask, "Look at you guys."

This field is well managed, and there is even a test field. Is there any difference between the seedlings planted in the field and the ordinary seedlings?"

Lao Zhou swallowed his saliva. He had a lot to say when it came to farming, but he was a little nervous at the moment, so he couldn't speak.

He couldn't help but look at Man Bao.

Manbao was about to answer when Qian laughed and said, "It's just that the seeds are different. The children got a handful of seeds from somewhere else and said they were from other places. They wanted to try to see if they could grow better rice, so they

A special piece of land was set aside for planting."

She said softly: "The rice has just been planted now, and I can't tell if it's good or bad yet. But the seeds have sprouted. Obviously there are no bad seeds. They were planted on the same day, ten days later than other seedlings, so I'm watching."

Shorter."

The prince nodded slightly and said to them: "Farming is a major matter of people's livelihood. If you can plant new rice seeds, you will be a hero to the country."

They didn't count Wheat Seed's contribution much before, but now that Zhou Man is an official in the court, the court obviously won't fool him.

Man Bao winked at her father and said that there would be no problem in letting her eldest brother, third brother and the others farm, right?

Changyu started to steam the meat when the prince moved the chopsticks for the first time. Although it was summer and the weather was hot, she still liked to eat meat.

Prince Gong casually picked up his chopsticks with a look of disgust, and after taking a bite, his face straightened up slightly. He stopped paying attention to the prince who was still gossiping, and started eating seriously.

When he was about to serve the third bowl of rice, the prince raised his eyelids and glanced at the chamberlain behind Prince Gong, and said to Prince Gong: "Third brother, you just lost weight. It's better to eat less, otherwise you will gain weight again. You should

Don’t you want to go hiking at Daming Palace again?”

Prince Gong stiffened.

In a year and a half, he lost 50 pounds, and his whole person changed. He felt that he was already thin enough, but every time Zhou Man came to see him, he was still a little fat by definition and had to continue to lose weight.

God knows that he can't lose weight no matter how hard he practices martial arts recently, but his appetite is getting better and better. Aunt Shang is in charge of the food in his palace, so he can't eat much at all, so he occasionally eats more from his wife and children.

The waiter did not dare to disobey, and did not dare to add rice to Prince Gong with the bowl in hand. He could only lower his head and put the bowl on the table again.

Prince Gong was so angry that he slapped the table at the chamberlain and got angry, "Why, I want to eat a bowl of rice, why can't I do it?"

The chamberlain fell to his knees with a thump, lying on the ground shivering.

The prince snorted coldly: "Third brother, this is for your own good. After all, fatness has a short life span."

Lao Zhoutou looked frightened and almost choked on the food in his mouth. He looked at Man Bao helplessly.

Man Bao picked up the chopsticks and gave Prince Gong a meat pie, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, stop eating and try my meat pie."

Then he said to the prince: "It's okay to eat one or two meals occasionally. Just wait until you get back to the palace and then reduce it seriously. Then I will give the prince acupuncture."

Prince Gong was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks and stood up to leave.

Seeing that he left in a huff, Man Bao sighed and said to the chamberlain who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up and let the prince calm down alone."

Mingda glanced at the prince and said to the chamberlain: "Get up."

The chamberlain then got up tremblingly, bent over and stepped aside.

The prince succeeded in making Prince Gong angry and felt very happy. He took a meat pie and started to bite it.

Man Bao and Ming Da looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

Bai Shan also felt that these two people couldn't get together. I really don't know what the emperor and empress thought, and actually asked the prince and Prince Gong to travel together.

However, as long as they are not around, whether they are fighting or quarreling, it has nothing to do with them.

So Bai Shan speeded up his eating speed. Like Man Bao, he just wanted to send the Crown Prince and Prince Gong away quickly.

But the prince ate slowly. After he was full, he sat down and drank a cup of tea before getting up and leaving.

Prince Gong had already taken the first step with his entourage. He was so angry that he didn't want to see the prince again.

The prince didn't mind either. He turned around and said to Mingda Changyu: "I will leave a group of imperial guards for you. Don't play too late. Return to the palace as soon as possible."

Mingda agreed, and after watching the prince leave, he exhaled, turned to Manbao and said sheepishly: "Did you scare your family?"

Man Bao shook his head, "It's okay, my father is very caring and will forget about it soon, but the Crown Prince and Prince Gong won't fight on the road, right?"
