Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Although the words of Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang were very unpleasant, and the emperor didn't like to hear them, he still listened to them. He was really afraid that the farmers would improve their fields for melon fields because of the great profit of melons this year.

Therefore, they specially summoned the magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County, and asked them to do a good job in persuading farmers and mulberries this year.

It was also because he was so busy that the emperor didn't think to settle accounts with Zhou Man at first, and he forgot about it when he had time.

But Man Bao didn't know, she had been quietly hiding from the emperor. She didn't even go to give the emperor acupuncture. Instead, she carefully taught Xiao Yuanzheng, and then left her hand to Xiao Yuanzheng. .

Xiao Yuanzheng was eager to learn more about acupuncture and moxibustion from her, so he followed Man Bao to the side hall, and found two servants who had a bad stomach and got two needles. The cold air went to give the emperor a needle.

Because someone went to take it on his behalf, so although Manbao avoided the emperor, he still ran to Daming Palace every day. Occasionally, he had plenty of time. After seeing the crown princess, he went to play with Mingda Changyu everywhere, and even gave it to Princess Mingda. Condition the body.

In the beginning, when Manbao didn't even get a pulse, he gave Princess Mingda an injection. Mingda's maids and maids wanted to stop him, but they found that the princess' appetite was indeed better after the injection, and she would sleep more peacefully at night. , then opened one eye and closed one eye and let it go.

Forget it, Zhou Man will never harm the princess anyway, and she is rarely involved in the case when she pierces the queen.

His Majesty's harem is a bit different from others', not to mention the distance, even when the emperor was the first emperor, the harem would inevitably be framed.

Today there are very few.

Even if there is jealousy, it will never bring disaster to the children. The queen takes care of the harem very well.

It is precisely because of the relaxed environment that Manbao can give Mingda needles so freely.

When she saw them smearing rouge on their faces, Man Bao said with great interest that she had found some rouge recipes while reading medical books in Chongwen Museum, which looked very good.

I plan to play with Mingda Changyu.

Looking at Mingda's old mama listening to these words, she secretly said: If this was in the previous dynasty or the emperor, they would not dare to let the princesses touch such medicinal materials and use such rouge, who knows what is hidden in this matter. The scourge of it?

For now, they can play if they want.

So, the old mama watched Man Bao lead the two princesses to Hetai Hospital to get a lot of medicinal materials, and then went to the small kitchen for a while and disliked the smell of the kitchen, so the three of them squatted in the corridor together to make a fire. make up.

Man Bao didn't understand them very well. While weighing the medicinal herbs with the nickname, he asked, "Where is the smell in the kitchen? I went in and turned around. It's obviously quite fragrant."

The soup is still hanging on the stove. I heard that it is to cook noodles for dinner.

But this is for the princesses. Man Bao can't eat anymore. She has to set off from here and rush back to Chongwen Pavilion before dinner, otherwise the East Palace will be locked as soon as the sun sets.

Chang Yu said, "The chicken was killed in the kitchen, didn't you smell that bloody smell?"

Man Bao thought for a while and shook his head, "Human blood seems to be bloodier than chicken blood."

There is no way to answer this, Chang Yu simply refused.

Man Bao sorted and placed the weighed herbs, while Ming Da and Chang Yu sat in front of a small table and pounded the herbs.

They doubted the abilities of Zhou Man and the two princesses. They had never heard that rouge was made of herbs. Shouldn't rouge be made of flowers?

Ming Da and Chang Yu can only sit and let people put on makeup. Now they are still young, they only stick flowers, or paint their foreheads with yellow, and they don't even have enough powder, but the maids don't miss their faces, rouge also buy less.

If you buy more, you will naturally know how this rouge is made. To put it bluntly, isn't it made of red and blue flowers?

A good rouge will add other flowers to it to make a better color and aroma. How can it be made of herbs?

Man Bao was very confident. He brought Ming Da and Chang Yu to pound the medicinal herbs and cook them again. After three days of hard work, just when the queen couldn't help but ask, Man Bao asked Chang Yu to leave the Shangshi Bureau. Get a piece of suet.

Not to mention the palace ladies, even the old maids were stunned, and then watched Man Bao dissolve the sheep oil and mix it with the light purple "rouge" they had made for three days. lighter.

After Man Bao was reconciled, he put it in the freezer and froze it. He stared at it from morning to afternoon. When he opened the jar, it solidified and the color was pale. It may be because the uniformity was not very good, and some were light purple. , and some are milky white.

Man Bao smelled it and felt that it was not bad, so he became proud and gave it to Chang Yu and Ming Da.

They both smelled it and nodded, "Fragrant is incense, but is this rouge?"

Although they have never used rouge, they have seen people use it, okay?

Mingda hesitated: "Is this an ointment?"

Man Bao said: "Didn't you say that rouge is what makes people have a good color, this can make people have a good color, naturally it is rouge."

Man Bao showed them the recipe he had copied down, "Nuo, it's all written on it, it's called Run Rouge."

Chang Yu and Ming Da no longer doubted, but looked at the rouge in the jar together and asked, "Then this can be used?"

"Okay."

Man Bao took some with her fingertips and rubbed it in the palm of her hand, then wiped it on her face, and finally wiped the back of her hand. She glanced at the back of her hand, nodded and said, "It's really good."

Man Bao immediately ran to open the medicine box, took out three small wooden jars, and said to Ming Da Changyu, "I want to dig some."

They made a lot of them, one big jar, although Man Bao brought three wooden jars, but they were not big, so the two of them nodded shyly and asked her to dig out three small jars and go.

Man Bao happily carried the medicine box and went back to the East Palace. She walked on the front foot, and the emperor and the queen arrived on the back. As soon as she entered the side hall of her daughters, the emperor looked around and asked, "Where is Zhou Man?"

Chang Yu was still studying this rouge with Ming Da, and when he heard the emperor's voice, he rushed out immediately, "Father, Queen, come quickly, we have made something good."

The emperor said: "I came to see if you have burned the side hall. For three days in a row, I saw smoke coming from here."

Mingda ran forward and hugged his mother's arm, and asked with a smile, "Then why did you come here to ask now?"

Of course it's because it's out of time.

The upper reaches of the Yellow River have recently melted, and the water is still a little too much. At this moment, the Governor of Shengzhou has sent people to report that the Yellow River is in danger.

The matter that the emperor ate too much melon was also over. Wei Zhi was already calculating with the Ministry of Household the amount of food relief to be paid this year, and it would be sent to Shengzhou in a few days.

There is also the Ministry of Industry, trying not to let the Yellow River burst its banks.

The regulations were only set today. It was rare for the emperor to get off work on time. It happened that there was no smoke in the side hall today, so he curiously called the queen to come and have a look.

Not only did someone scolded me, but they also scolded me with a whip
