Chapter 3246 Sweet Talk

At this time, Zhou Man didn't take the elixir and Master Naluo very seriously. She knew about the elixir. Not only did she see the master and the others practicing it in Xuandu Temple, she also often watched the master Shouqing and the others in her hometown.

I have even made alchemy myself, and it is actually similar to the pills they make.

Some of the more precious elixirs needed to be added with cinnabar, but those were too expensive. Zhou Man only watched the Taoist priests refine them twice, once by the master of Shouqing Temple and once by the master of Xuandu Temple.

The other elixirs are actually similar to what Zhou Man and the others usually make. They are all made from plants and trees and are used to treat people's illnesses.

Therefore, Zhou Man felt that reading elixirs was a very serious matter, and it could be regarded as one of her duties as an imperial physician.

Until she heard the name of the elixir.

Fulai sent Zhou Man to Tai Chi Hall and then respectfully withdrew, leaving Zhou Man to deal with it on his own.

Zhou Man lowered his head and looked at his casual clothes and shoes, then touched his hair, and finally sighed, forget it, it's still in order anyway. The emperor saw that she went to the palace to report on her duties as soon as she entered the capital, so he shouldn't be able to correct her misconduct.

A crime, right?

Zhou Man and the guards guarding the door cupped their hands and said, "Please inform me that the Qingzhou Medical Office has ordered Zhou Man to see Your Majesty."

The guard was an acquaintance, so he glanced at her and turned around to go in.

After a while, Gu Zhong came out to invite her with a smile. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Man, who was dressed in casual clothes and plain clothes, with only a pearl flower and a wooden hairpin on his head, stopped and said, "Here, Mr. Zhou, why don't you

Wear official uniform?"

Zhou Man spread his hands and said: "What can I do? I just entered the capital... Oh, as soon as I entered the capital, I missed Your Majesty very much. I had many things to say to Your Majesty, so I couldn't wait to go home to freshen up and went to the palace.

Mr. Gu, is your Majesty free to listen to my report on my duties now?"

"come in."

When Gu Zhong heard this, he swallowed what he said and immediately stepped aside, bending down to salute respectfully to the prince who had stood behind him at some point.

The prince glanced at Zhou Man with disgust, and said to Gu Zhong: "Go and prepare lunch. My father wants to invite the courtiers to eat together."

"Yes!" Gu Zhong glanced at Zhou Man quietly and winked quietly in the direction of the prince.

Zhou Man understood this and immediately followed the prince's footsteps and hugged his thigh tightly.

Entering the main hall, the discussion has come to an end, and the emperor is sitting on the dragon throne and chatting with the ministers.

In fact, there were not many ministers. Zhou Man glanced over and saw that most of them were familiar faces, only about twelve or three people.

Zhou Man glanced at it, walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down and saluted.

The emperor's eyes were not in good condition. He squinted at her for a while and then said: "Zhou Man, how come we haven't seen each other for two or three years and why are you so indifferent? Have you endured hardship in Qingzhou?"

Zhou Man knew the emperor's preferences, and he liked bright colors, especially gorgeous and luxurious ones.

In the past, Zhou Man mostly wore official uniforms when he was in the palace. When he was not wearing official uniforms, his casual clothes were mainly in bright colors. They were very gray like today, especially when he didn't even have any decent accessories on his head.

.

But... who would dress up specially when riding in a carriage, sleeping on their backs or lying down in the carriage? Of course, the less jewelry on their heads, the better;

As for clothes, when you go out, even if you ride in a carriage, the dust will come in waves. Of course, the clothes are mainly stain-resistant. She only needs to wear comfortable clothes underneath. But can she tell the emperor about these reasons?

Zhou Man stood up and said with a serious and respectful expression: "Your Majesty, I didn't endure much hardship in Qingzhou. The reason why you see my Qing Dynasty has been reduced is because you haven't seen me for a long time and you miss me, right?"

"Actually, I also miss Your Majesty, so as soon as I entered the capital, I wanted to rush into the palace to see His Majesty. I didn't even have time to freshen up and change clothes. Please forgive me for any indecency."

The emperor was happy to hear this. He waved his hand before she knelt down completely and said, "It's not a big deal. Why am I so stingy? Get up quickly."

The emperor also sighed, "I miss Zhou Qing very much too."

The ministers had long been accustomed to the emperor's sweet words from time to time, but what they were not used to was Zhou Man's sweet words.

I couldn't help but raise my head and stare at her. I only looked away after making sure that she was really considerate standing in the middle of the hall.

As expected, exposure to the outside world is a touchstone. I have only been out for a few years, and I have become glib when I come back.

The emperor was very happy to see Zhou Man, and asked someone to buy a seat for her under Xiao Yuanzheng. He also said to the people around him: "Master Zhou is back in Beijing today, so we won't have dinner in this hall. Go and let Gu Zhong

Put lunch in the garden."

The emperor said with a smile: "Zhou Aiqing has not returned to the capital for a long time, and I am afraid that she has forgotten the scenery of the capital. Today we will eat in the garden and enjoy the scenery."

Then he said: "I went to invite Master Naluo'er to come. Zhou Man, Master Naluo'er also has good medicinal skills. If you exchange ideas, you may gain something in medical skills."

Zhou Man likes to exchange medical skills with people the most, especially this is a foreigner, who can just understand the medical level of foreign countries, so she nodded happily and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely exchange and learn from Master Na Luo'er*

******* nodded with satisfaction, but the ministers choked on the tea and saliva. Exchange and study?

They asked her to come back to deal with Na Luo'er, but they didn't want them to become a team.

Some ministers looked at Zhou Man with horror. Could it be that after five years of being outside, Zhou Man not only learned to be glib, but also learned to be a sycophant?

But her trip back to Beijing three years ago seemed quite normal.

The prince glanced at the ministers and looked away, not bothering to look at them. They were a bunch of cowards who were afraid of the wolf before even persuading his father to take a pill. If it weren't for his wrong status, he wouldn't be able to do anything like this.

If he opened his mouth, he would have already thrown all his father's pills into the water.

The lunch location was moved to a bright garden, which was quite bright. Although it was winter, there were still green trees and... flowers in the garden, well, mostly chrysanthemums.

But it’s quite beautiful, and the most important thing is that the lighting is good.

After sitting in the open pavilion, the seats were rearranged, and Zhou Man sat under the crown prince, diagonally opposite Master Old Tang, and very close to the emperor, so close that the emperor finally saw her face clearly, and he couldn't help but smile and nod.

Said: "You have indeed grown up."

The emperor sat down on the main seat and said to her: "Okay, let's talk while we eat. If you want to report on your work, you can do it here."

She thought about the work report on the way back and wrote out the details, so she didn't have to think about it and just talked about it.

The emperor and the ministers followed her words and had lunch. Not to mention, the meal was quite delicious, and they also gained a lot of things in their minds after the meal.
