The emperor nodded slightly and asked, "What do you think of the suggestions put forward by Bai Shan and others?"

Even Wei Zhi couldn't help but be cautious. After pondering for a while, he said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

The emperor also sighed, "Yes, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Let's wait until the matter in Jiangnan is settled."

Wei Zhi agreed that if you walk too fast, you will inevitably fall. There are too many people involved in this matter, so you must be more careful.

The emperor and his ministers tacitly ignored the topic. As soon as Wei Zhi left, the emperor said to Gu Zhong: "I warn the palace servants who are serving them today that what they said in the pavilion are not allowed to be spread outside."

Gu Zhong agreed quickly, paused and then reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, listen to what they mean. They can't think of it and they still need to write a book to ask for your advice."

emperor:……

He was speechless for a while, "I really don't know how high the world is."

However, Gu Zhong heard the appreciation in the emperor's tone, smiled and never mentioned the matter again.

Although the emperor was not afraid of them making mistakes, he was afraid that once the secrets were written, they would not be able to hide them.

He didn't want these teenagers to die before they grew up, and he didn't want to bother to wipe their butts later, so the next day he went over to pay his respects to the Queen Mother while Zhou Man was giving her acupuncture.

The Queen Mother was quite happy at first and was instructing the palace staff to prepare the emperor's favorite snacks and meals. However, the emperor had just said a few words to her and called Zhou Man aside to talk alone.

At first she thought he was asking Zhou Man about her condition, but then she put her clothes in order and her hair combed and walked over, but she heard him say to Zhou Man: "...Anyway, this book is not allowed to be written, and it cannot even be written.

,do you know?"

Man Bao didn't expect that the emperor would actually eavesdrop. Sure enough, there are no secrets in the palace.

Everyone who received the zhezi said so, so she couldn't force it, right? Their original intention was to ask for advice. Since the emperor didn't want to ask the officials to answer their questions, there was no point in them submitting the zhezi.

If you don’t want to write, don’t write.

Manbao agreed.

The Queen Mother, who heard only half of the sentence on the other side of the screen, was so angry that she turned around and went back. By chance, the palace staff brought the emperor's favorite refreshments, and the Queen Mother said directly: "Throw it away, don't want it anymore."

Palace man:......

They hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to be even more angry, they quickly took the plates down.

Man Bao and the emperor happened to see it when they came back, so she asked casually, "This snack is still steaming. Why did you throw it away?"

The emperor didn't understand either.

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at the two of them, then looked at Man Bao, "Do you like to eat?"

Man Bao took a look and found that there was also a plate of golden cakes on the plate, which was made by wrapping meat and various ingredients in flour and frying it in a pan.

She had eaten it twice at Chang Yu's, and it was her favorite snack. Man Bao also liked it, so he nodded.

The Queen Mother waved her hand generously and said, "I've rewarded you. Come and wrap up these snacks for Dr. Zhou."

The informed maid:...

She couldn't help but glance at the emperor.

The emperor hadn't noticed anything unusual yet. After taking a look at the snacks on the plate, he smiled and went to the Queen Mother to join in the fun. "Mother, my son also happens to like these snacks. Why don't you reward your son with two pieces?"

The Queen Mother said with a straight face: "You are the emperor. If you can't eat what you want, do you still need the Aijia to reward you? Are you so old that you have the nerve to compete with a child for food?"

emperor:……

He stopped smiling and sat upright in the chair. He felt that he had been scolded for no reason, but he did not dare to make the Queen Mother angry. After a pause, he could only smile again and said, "That's what the Queen Mother said."

Mother and son were speechless for a moment.

Man Bao, who was happy because he got three plates of snacks for free, paused for a moment, looked at the Queen Mother, then at the emperor, then turned to look at the snacks on the plate, and couldn't help scratching his head.

She also sat aside cautiously and said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, why are you angry again? Just now His Majesty asked you repeatedly whether you are in a good mood recently and how are your meals on weekdays. I said yes, but now you are...

If you get angry, isn't this trying to discredit me?"

The emperor couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhou Man. When had he asked this? No, how could Zhou Man speak to the Queen Mother in such a tone?

The Queen Mother was not angry, but her face softened slightly. She glanced at the Emperor.

The emperor was so blessed that he smiled at the queen mother.

The Queen Mother's face softened a little, and she said to Zhou Man: "You can go back after you have finished your treatment. Aren't you and the Ai family busy because you don't always have enough time?"

Man Bao then responded, stood up, bowed and left.

Of course, before leaving, I also received three packs of paper-wrapped snacks, which were still hot in my hands.

Man Bao carried the medicine box and snacks and walked slowly towards the East Palace. She spared him a while and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall road first.

When the emperor's chariot caught up, Man Bao had already squatted in the flower bed by the roadside and looked at the flowers and plants for a long time. Unfortunately, she had dug up all the types of flowers and plants, otherwise it would be okay to grab some branches and leaves at this time.

Man Bao stepped sideways to the side of the road. The emperor knew at a glance that she was waiting for him, so he got off the chariot, waved to Zhou Man who was bowing and saluted, and walked ahead.

Gu Zhong stopped behind with the palace guests. Seeing that Zhou Man didn't move, Gu Zhong gave her a wink and asked her to follow him quickly.

Man Bao then ran up with the medicine box in his hand, and Gu Zhong waited until they were far away before leading the palace servants to follow them.

"Your Majesty, you know I'm waiting for you."

The emperor said: "I'm not stupid. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Man said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother actually likes you to visit her. In the past, the tea snacks I saw in the Queen Mother's palace were mostly sweet snacks such as various soups and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. I rarely see this kind of snacks.

Three snacks.”

She said: "I think these three snacks are prepared for His Majesty, right?"

The emperor fell silent. This was indeed his favorite snack.

Seeing that he had listened, Man Bao said: "During the time when I was treating the empress, the people I saw the most were the empress, then Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu, and then the Crown Prince. Only those on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month

Only occasionally can I meet His Majesty coming to pay his respects to the Queen Mother."

Man Bao said: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, but sitting for a long time is not good for your health. It is best to walk for about half an hour every day. It happens to be from the Taiji Hall to the Queen Mother's Palace. You have to walk back and forth twice, and then go to the Imperial Garden."

It’s just right for a walk.”

The emperor listened to her lame excuses for him, and couldn't help but interrupt her, "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed too young to persuade others.

Man Bao carried the medicine box, saluted with snacks, turned around and left.

The emperor suddenly looked at the paper bag in her hand and said, "This is what the Queen Mother prepared for me..."

Man Bao subconsciously hugged me tightly and said: "The queen gave me a reward. It seems a bit cold, so it may not be very tasty, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I will finish it."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

The emperor saw her running away with the medicine box clattering on her back, and was speechless for a while. He turned to look at Gu Zhong behind him.

Gu Zhong immediately trotted forward, and the emperor asked him angrily, "Am I such a stingy person?"

Gu Zhong smiled and said no, Doctor Zhou must be overthinking.

The emperor's face looked better now, he snorted and turned around to leave.

Gu Zhong hurriedly chased after him, "Your Majesty, won't you sit in the chariot?"

"Don't sit down anymore. Didn't you hear what Zhou Man said? You need to move around more."
