When Man Bao returned to Chongwen Hall with the medicine box, Bai Shan and the others were sitting on the observation floor drinking tea and watching the scenery. When they saw Zhou Man, they waved to her.

Man Bao went upstairs and asked, "Why don't you go to eat?"

"There was something wrong in the kitchen, so dinner has to be postponed for half an hour." Bai Shan pointed to the seat next to her and asked her to sit down, and asked, "Are you busy today?"

"Fortunately, nothing is wrong. It's just that Xiao Yuanzheng's face has always been somber. We didn't dare to breathe loudly when we were working in the hospital." Man Bao sat next to Bai Shan and saw a stack of things on the table.

He picked up the manuscript paper and asked, "What is this?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Erlang plans to make money."

Man Bao couldn't help but open it and saw that he was planning to grow some fruits and vegetables to make money.

She was very curious, "Where did you come from?"

"I plan to rent the newly assigned job field with my husband."

"Why do you want to make money from farming?"

Bai Erlang said: "Didn't you say that His Majesty is short of money?"

Not to mention Bai Shan, Yin You couldn't help but feel happy, and finally said: "I think what your Majesty lacks is not money, but a way to make money."

Liu Huan had been watching him immersed in writing for the past two days and asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly think of making progress? Didn't we agree to go out on a study tour after studying for two more years?"

Bai Erlang pretended to please the emperor as if he wanted to become an official immediately.

Man Bao then looked at Liu Huan, then at Bai Erlang, and said, "I have inside information, you are both on the list."

"On what list?"

Man Bao shook his head and said: "On the list of choosing a consort."

Bai Erlang's eyes widened in surprise, and Liu Huan's eyes widened in horror. They both asked in unison: "Why?"

Man Bao glanced at Liu Huan and then said to Bai Erlang: "I heard from Chang Yu that His Majesty wants to choose his consort from the Imperial College and Chongwen Hall."

Then he turned to Liu Huan and said, "You should be chosen based on your family background."

Liu Huan immediately said: "I don't believe it, I don't want to be the consort."

Man Bao said: "It may not be you. Maybe you want to be the one but it's not enough."

Bai Erlang asked him curiously, "What's wrong with being a prince-in-law? Why are you so afraid?"

"What's the benefit of being a consort?" Liu Huan said: "I don't lack glory or wealth, and I have never thought of having any great abilities. Besides, being a consort is not of much benefit to my career. Why should I be a minister?"

Do you think a prince-in-law is easy to make?

If the princess doesn't live with their family, she will have to live in another princess' mansion, and then she will no longer be a human being.

I am an outsider in the Princess Mansion, and I am half an outsider at home.

Liu Huandao: "My family is not a wealthy family. Now that I am going to marry a princess, I will definitely build a princess palace by then. Recruiting a prince-in-law is just like recruiting a bride-in-law. I don't want to be a bride-in-law."

Bai Erlang: "...Princess Mingda is not a rude person, why would she embarrass the consort?"

"This is not an embarrassment, this is a rule!" Liu Huan said: "Anyway, I don't want to be the consort."

However, Liu Shangshu was moved. He discussed with his old wife, "That kid Liu Huan is not very thoughtful. I'm afraid he won't do much in the officialdom in the future. If you marry a princess, you can still maintain prosperity for two lifetimes. I think it's okay."

Mrs. Liu said, "Forget it if it's another princess, Princess Mingda is not suitable."

"Why?"

"Princess Mingda is frail. It's not certain how many years she will live, let alone give birth to a child." She said, "If Huan'er doesn't have a legitimate heir, how can we talk about two generations of glory?"

Liu Shangshu fell silent.

But the emperor was very quick, and within two days he found an excuse to call the eighteen people still on the list into the palace to enjoy the flowers together.

Well, I admired the pomegranate flowers, but the fruits of the pomegranate were as big as my thumb.

While Liu Shangshu felt that the emperor's excuse was not very good, he said to Liu Huan: "When you enter the palace, don't say much else. Just eat and drink tea. Do you understand?"

Obviously, he was finally convinced by his old wife.

Liu Huan nodded repeatedly, he thought so too.

Bai Erlang, who was also called into the palace, hurriedly pulled Bai Shan to choose clothes for him, and said to Zhou Man: "You come into the palace with me."

Man Bao refused, "It's rare for me to take a break."

"Anyway, we'll take leave tomorrow, so let's go one day earlier today," Bai Erlang said, "It's more convenient for you to get in and out of the palace, just find any excuse."

Seeing that Manbao still missed the lunch and dinner made by her sister-in-law, he said: "You are saying that we are fellow disciples, and I can't even compare with two meals?"

Man Bao emphasized: "It's three meals, and there will be another meal tomorrow morning. But since you said so, call me senior sister and I will listen. If you can't tell me, I will agree."

Bai Shan picked out a coat, threw it on Bai Erlang and said with a smile: "Call me Senior Brother again."

Bai Erlang hissed and shouted with gritted teeth, "Senior sister, senior brother, can I please help you?"

Manbao nodded happily and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Bai Shanxiao asked, "I temporarily thought of two poems about pomegranate flowers and pomegranates. Do you want to copy them?"

Bai Erlang hesitated, but finally shook his head, "Forget it, I don't mind copying your work, but what if His Majesty really chooses mine because of the poems, and he asks me to do it again in the future, and I can't do it? And what should I do? And

Isn’t that lying to Princess Mingda?”

Just as Bai Shan was about to nod his head happily, Bai Erlang said, "But you can read it to me and let me refer to it. Maybe after listening to it, I will be flooded with thoughts and think of several songs at once."

Bai Shan and Man Bao:......

Bai Erlang dressed up brilliantly and went out in Yushu Linfeng, while Manbao, dressed in ordinary clothes, followed him with a medicine box.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw other people who had also been summoned.

Some people have already inquired about the inside story, but most of them are standing at the palace gate with confused faces and knowing nothing.

Manbao stood with her for a while, and then went to the palace. The reason for her entering the palace was to see the Queen Mother.

As an imperial physician, she really has the right to enter and leave the palace freely, just like the officials of other three provinces and six ministries can freely enter and leave their offices in the imperial city.

When Man Bao arrived at the Imperial Hospital, he went to the Imperial Physician Liu and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's health? Doctor Liu did not go into the palace to get an acupuncture today. How about I go and give the Empress Dowager an acupuncture?"

After the pricking is done, go to Changyu. You should be able to see the results just in time.

Manbao's plan was perfect, but Dr. Liu said: "The Queen Mother's condition was a bit relapsing last night. Xiao Yuan is guarding her over there now. If you want to..."

"I don't want to." Man Bao said immediately: "Forget it, I'll go see Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda."

If you go to see the Queen Mother now, you will most likely be scolded by Xiao Yuanzheng. Xiao Yuanzheng has been in a very bad mood recently.
