Chapter 2674 Come on
The Crown Princess finished eating the grapes on the plate, wiped her hands, and then asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
Mingda: "Can't you come to see your sister-in-law if you have nothing to do?"
"Farewell, all of you two or three are the masters of the Three Treasures Hall. Now there are so many interesting people and things outside, will you come to me specially?"
Ming Da and Man Bao Chang Yu looked at each other and had no choice but to tell the truth.
When she heard that it was related to the emperor's personal expedition, the crown princess couldn't help being more solemn, "It's not that difficult."
So the group moved to the garden of Wude Hall.
At this time, the palace banquet has not yet opened, but the sun is not so strong in the afternoon, so many people enjoy the flowers in the garden.
The Crown Princess held the hand of the palace maid and led Ming Da and the others to the most beautiful pavilion in the garden, where there are now seats and couches, and many ladies were talking there.
Seeing the Crown Princess and the two princesses, he immediately got up and saluted, and then gave up his seat.
The Crown Princess sat down and asked with a smile, "What are the ladies talking about?"
"Tell me about the fashionable clothes this year."
"Oh?" The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I think the popular flowers in Jiangnan this year are very beautiful. If peony can be woven and printed on it, it will be magnificent."
"Yes, but it's too complicated. A weaver may not be able to weave a piece in two years. Now I've only seen a few in the capital. It took a year for several weavers to work together. It's woven."
Chang Yu was very interested when he heard it, "There seem to be a few horses in this year's tribute."
"How many?" The Crown Princess smiled, "There are only three, and Your Majesty gave them all to the Empress."
It's just that the queen always advocates frugality, so she doesn't use it all, and she doesn't use it for her daughters.
The Crown Princess patted her stomach, because she was pregnant, so she rewarded her with one of them, and the other two were kept in the storeroom. Listening to the Queen's wishes, one of them was to be sent to the Wei Zhifu. The other one, I don't know who is going to be cheaper.
This kind of good thing, when the queen generally does not allow the royals to use it, basically rewards the ministers who have made merit.
Especially after King Gong "fallen out of favor", if before, King Gong cried with his arms folded before the emperor gave it to the queen, the emperor would have rewarded him completely.
That's how love makes Chi faint.
Manbao listened to them talking about fabrics, from weaving techniques to embroidery, from Su embroidery to Shu embroidery, and then to the popular jewelry styles in Shu this year, and then to the south of the Yangtze River, and then returned to the popular styles in Beijing... …
Man Bao: …
Her eyes were dizzy.
After a long, long time, the topic finally came to this personal expedition, and Man Bao listened with his face propped up, not even a little bit of passion.
This is also one of the important reasons why the ladies in the pavilion are so pleasing to the princess at this time.
The emperor personally conquered, and the prince oversees the country. After this time, the status of the prince will only be more stable. At present, they can no longer see who can compete with the prince.
If it was a few years ago when the prince had not given birth to a child, these ladies would only be polite to the prince and not make mistakes, and they would not even dare to sit with her for too long, for fear of their husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. were labeled as princelings.
No worries now.
Those who were present, and those who were closely related to the personal expedition, except the Crown Princess, was Zhou Manlao.
The topic of supervising the country is still a bit sensitive, so although everyone pleases the crown princess, they still don't want to continue on this topic for too long, so their eyes fall on Zhou Man.
None of the people present were strangers. Who didn't ask Zhou Man to see such a disease once or twice?
So everyone pulled Zhou Man and asked enthusiastically, "I heard that this time Lord Zhou is going to personally follow His Majesty's expedition?"
Man Bao said: "This is what Your Majesty and Xiao Yuanzheng mean."
Everyone sighed and comforted her: "Master Zhou, you will definitely come back safely."
"You accompany Your Majesty, it should be safe, don't worry."
The Crown Princess and others who knew the inside story well: ... She is not worried, she clearly asked for the order herself.
"I don't blame you for worrying about Lord Zhou, but my aunt and the others are also worried about my uncle in front of my mother," Chang Yu said, "Because of this, my aunt has to pay 100,000 yuan, and it is considered to be given to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army. Praying, in fact, where is praying for the Eastern Expedition Army, it is clearly praying for the uncle."
Mingda said with a smile: "It's better to believe this kind of thing or not. The mother is so wise and rational, isn't she also worried about the father and emperor, so let's go to the palace to pray overnight?"
The ladies of the pavilion quickly asked, "How to pray?"
"Did you invite the immortal Laozi, or the Buddha?"
"I should worship Guan Gong, right? Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, he doesn't care about wars, right?"
Man Bao: "Where can I manage this when praying for blessings, naturally it is the seventy-two gods, and there are all the way to worship."
The ladies: "...It's reasonable."
The lady suggested hesitantly: "Otherwise, we will also pool some money to do a ritual for the Eastern Expedition Army?"
This way, we won't be left behind, otherwise, Mrs. Zhao Guogong did it, and the queen did it too. How different would it be if they didn't do it?
Man Bao: …
Even Mingda was shocked. How could this have anything to do with the practice?
Man Bao couldn't help but said, "Are you really going to worship the gods?"
The ladies: "Didn't Master Zhou say that if you have a god all the way, you will worship a god all the way?"
"Then why don't you worship me," Man Bao sat up straight, adjusted his official robes, sat cross-legged on the seat, and said solemnly: "Worship the gods, you don't know whether they bless the Eastern Expedition Army, whether I have fulfilled your wishes, but worship me, you must know that I have tried my best to rescue and protect the Eastern Expedition Army, and you can check how many people survived, how?"
The ladies were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, a lady sitting on top of Zhou Man directly stretched out her hand and squeezed her face, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, if I hadn't known you, I would have thought you were there. Asked for a bribe."
Man Bao: I'm just asking for bribes, don't think it's true, throw more money at me.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I think Lord Zhou is right. It's better to worship her than to worship the gods, but it's not good to take our money for nothing."
She smiled and said: "Our money must be used for the Eastern Expedition Army, this is merit, so, this palace will donate some incense money to you, but with this incense money you have to buy medicinal materials, cloth When I wait for something that can heal and save people, I will write it down when I look back and see how many people I have saved with this money and how much merit I have accumulated."
She touched her stomach and smiled, and said, "It's just that I prayed for this child, and I'll remember the merit as her name."
Man Bao asked, "Have you given her a name yet?"
Crown Princess: "Take it, I will tell you quietly when I turn back."
When the others heard it, they also thought about it, and a lady whose family was not short of money was the first to say: "That being the case, I will also pay my respects and donate a sum of merit to my boy, and I don't ask for much, I just hope that he will be able to do it next year. It’s good to grow up and study honestly.”
See you tomorrow
