Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The emperor also sighed, Zhou Man still had a bowl of hot noodles to eat, but he didn't have it. After changing his clothes, he stuffed himself two pieces of snacks and came out of the apse, and greeted the minister in the court with a smile.

Then I had a cordial and friendly conversation with the ministers on the left and right who were sitting in the front row, and discussed some state affairs during the break.

Gu Zhong was even busier. He went out to watch in person, and after three quarters of an hour, he finally led a team of servants into the hall to distribute the lunch boxes.

Man Bao sat on his seat and also got a lunch box.

She was quite happy. Although she had only eaten a bowl of noodles, she was still a little hungry after walking back from the apse and sitting for a while.

So she opened the food box and saw that there were two white steamed buns, a small dish of pickled vegetables, a small dish of steamed meat, and a bowl of radish broth, she happily took out the chopsticks, and then looked up at the emperor.

The emperor also opened his own food box, then held his chopsticks and said with a smile, "You are hungry, everyone, let's have lunch."

Gu Zhong shouted loudly, "The emperor bestows a banquet."

Man Bao opened a pair of round eyes and bowed slightly with the other courtiers to thank the emperor, and waited for the emperor to take a bite before moving his chopsticks.

Man Bao directly took a piece of steamed meat that looked good and put it in his mouth. The entrance was cold and greasy, and there was no taste. Man Bao put it in his mouth and looked around and saw that everyone avoided the steamed meat in the food box. Just holding the steamed bun and eating the pickled vegetables, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

The county magistrate on the left met her gaze, glanced at her food box, and saw that there was a missing piece of steamed vegetables, he knew it.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Man nodded and said in a low voice, "Lord Zhou Xiao, it's not good to be rude in the hall."

So you have to swallow.

Master Tang in the front left and Master Yang in front turned to look at her when they heard the voice.

Master Tang smiled with frowning eyes, and whispered: "How about it, isn't the working meal in this palace a different taste?"

Yang Heshu glanced at him, turned slightly and stretched out his hand to probe the bowl of soup in Zhouman's box, then picked up her soup, exchanged his own for her, and said with a smile, "Just drink it with the soup, mine is mine. hotter than yours."

Man Bao took a closer look, only to realize that Yang Heshu's soup bowl was still steaming faintly, but hers was completely gone.

Man Bao took a sip of the soup and held it in his mouth for a while. He didn't know if he had warmed the meat in his mouth. Anyway, she swallowed it whole, and then she remembered and asked Yang Heshu, "Brother Yang, Is my soup also cold? I can't drink it, I'm going to have a stomach upset."

Yang Heshu smiled and said, "It's not cold, it's lukewarm, it's just right to drink, since you've already eaten noodles, then eat less of what's in the food box, there's still a long time to go for the Great Court, so don't be rude ."

Man Bao should go down.

Instead of touching the steamed meat and soup, pick up a steamed bun and eat it with pickled vegetables.

When Mr. Guo heard their conversation, he glanced at Zhou Man in surprise. The two of them sat in the same row and experienced five or six great ceremonies, and they were considered good friends, so he asked, "Have you eaten noodles?"

Man Bao nodded and sighed: "I ate it in Princess Mingda's Palace. Originally, I wanted to eat a working meal, but I deliberately ate a little less with my stomach. I didn't expect the working meal to be like this."

Mr. Guo felt that the steamed buns in his hands were no longer fragrant, and he was extremely depressed. If it was replaced by one of them, they would go to the imperial palace to eat in the middle of the meeting...

After the working meal was over, the waiters filed in to collect all the food boxes, and then the grand meeting continued.

The first half of the session was all about today's excerpts, and the officials who were mentioned had to get up and answer the questions.

Man Bao was also picked up three times, and her anger grew a little bit later, and she still faintly felt that she was being targeted, but after seeing the number of times the Ministry of Household was questioned, Man Bao was instantly cured.

Liu Shangshu and his two servants have been asked questions all the time. Almost every three questions they have to ask the Ministry of Household, but what is strange is that no matter how sharp the questions are, and even the words are hard to hear, Liu Shangshu is slow and slow. Answer, never a trace of anger.

Man Bao stared at them with wide eyes. He looked at Liu Shangshu for a while, and then turned to look at the official who asked the question. After a while, he became thoughtful.

Man Bao was a little eager to try, and wanted someone to ask her again, and then she would answer the other party in a leisurely and calm manner like Liu Shangshu.

It was a pity that, at the end of the Great Ceremony, everyone started to flatter her in a friendly manner, but no one asked her any more.

Master Tang, who was sitting in front of her left, took a long breath, moved his butt, and whispered, "It's almost over."

Man Bao was disappointed and whispered, "I'm not hungry yet, can't you ask me two more questions?"

When Master Tang and Master Guo heard the words, they turned their heads to look at her in horror, and even Yang Heshu couldn't help but look back at her.

The previous ministers had already started to pat each other's horses to pat the emperor's dragon farts. Even straight ministers like Wei Zhi couldn't help but praise the emperor, thinking that in this year, although the emperor made many small mistakes, the big ones Administratively there is no problem.

Although Wei Zhi shot this dragon fart that the emperor did not agree with, he was still a little happy in his heart.

Of course, there are also people who are very good at patting the dragon's fart and stand up for a few words to make the emperor feel comfortable and happy, so Man Bao followed the trend and stood up with everyone to show that the emperor was very wise.

The Great Ceremony is finally over.

First the emperor left, then the high-rank ministers in front, and then it was their turn.

Man Bao went out of the palace and went after Liu Shangshu, so that Master Tang who wanted to talk to her only had time to reach out and not have time to speak.

Man Bao ran away in a hurry. She was small, young and vigorous, and soon caught up with Liu Shangshu, who was walking slowly in front of her.

"Master Liu, I have a question for you."

As soon as Liu Shangshu saw Zhou Man, he had a headache. She and his left servant had just been quarreling in the main hall. If the two sides were not far away, he suspected that they would fight.

Alas, it is good to be young, and quarrels are loud.

Seeing Zhou Man at this moment, he thought she was running up to him to quarrel with him, and waved his hand quickly: "The court meeting is over. If there is a problem, I just raised it in the hall. I won't talk about state affairs at this moment, not about state affairs."

Man Bao stopped him by pulling his sleeve, "I don't talk about state affairs, I just want to ask you a question."

Liu Shangshu was helpless and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Liu Shangshu, why are you able to talk to him calmly when someone else is arguing with you?" Man Bao said with a stared eye, "I think it's amazing how calm you are."

Liu Shangshu stood still in an instant, with a wrinkled smile on his face, and asked, "Do you think so?"

See you at 6 pm
