Chapter 3245 Decree

   Zhouman returned to Beijing with only one car and five rides. Zheng and Xiao Qian took Bai Jingxing in the county seat and waited for Chu Lang to return.

  Bai Shan sent people out of the city, glanced at the lively official road, and told her: "After returning to Beijing, we must be more cautious. Now that we are older, we will no longer be treated like a childish speech and doing things."

   Zhou Man nodded and said: "I know, don't worry."

  Bai Shan sent Zhou Man to the car and nodded to the driver.

   Zhou Man opened the curtains and waved to him, "Okay, you go back soon."

Said that it was for Bai Shan to go back, but she kept looking out. The cake knocked on the wall of the car and asked Da Ji to pour a cup of tea for Zhou Man after driving. ?"

   Zhou Man glanced back again, then retracted his gaze, "What kind of tea is this?"

  "Almond brown sugar tea."

   "...What a unique tea," Zhou Man stared, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Oh, the lady heard from the host that it is good for pregnant women to eat almonds, so the lady asked to grind almonds to make tea. The lady said it was not good, so she added brown sugar, lady, you taste Look."

   Zhou Man took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he took two sips and said: "Don't say it, it's delicious."

   Zhouman, their journey is not slow, but it is not particularly fast. Da Ji has been controlling the itinerary so that every time they stop, they can find a place to stay overnight and return to the capital on the ninth day.

   is two days slower than riding a horse.

  But people in the capital don’t know.

  According to the old rule, the normal handover of officials, plus family visits, etc. are counted together. As long as it is not an urgent job change, every official has one month.

  So although Zhou Man’s arrival time is not too early, it is not too late. I don’t know that the courtiers who completed the handover in only five days are satisfied with Zhou Man’s speed.

  Officials enter Beijing to report on their duties, and they must report to the officials as soon as they enter Beijing.

   Zhou Man is the same, she asked the guard to take her paperwork to the staff to line up to report, while thinking about going home to freshen up and change clothes, and maybe she would be summoned in the palace later.

  As a result, the guard holding the paperwork left. Before she could return to Chongyuanfang, the servant and the palace guard hurried to chase after her, "Master Zhou stay!"

  The carriage stopped, Zhou Man opened the curtain and looked at the people coming, "What are you guys?"

  The attendant held an iron order and said: "The queen has a purpose, and it is announced that Zhou Man will see you."

   Zhou Man couldn’t help but glanced at Da Ji, then nodded after a few thoughts, “Go to the palace, Da Ji, you first go back to the mansion to report safety and let them know that I’m back.”

"Yes."

  Daji jumped out of the carriage and asked another guard to drive.

  The servant and the imperial army escorted the carriage forward, and Daji immediately mounted the horse after watching the carriage leave, and took the remaining people back to Chongyuanfang.

   Zhou Man helped the cake’s hand to get out of the car and looked up at the gate of the palace. It has been three years since she left last time. The gate of Tai Chi Palace has not changed at all, except for the guards guarding the gate of the palace.

   Zhou Man turned his head to the cake in the car and said: "You guys should go back first, you don't have to wait here anymore."

  The cake and the **** should go down.

   Zhouman followed the inner servant into the palace, but not to the harem, but to the front hall of the Taiji Hall.

   Zhou Man couldn’t help but take two steps to catch up with the waiter who led the way, and asked in a low voice, “What do you call an adult?”

  The servant bent over and bowed his head and said: "Don't dare to be called as an adult, the slave is called Fulai."

   Zhou Man boasted: "Good name, I have never seen Master Fulai in front of Niang Niang before. Master Fulai has only come to Niang Niang in the past two years?"

  Fulai laughed softly: "The minion used to be a small servant in the Tai Chi Hall, but because the minion has a good name, your majesty gave the minion to the empress."

   Zhou Man nodded and asked: "The empress is in the front hall at this time?"

  Fulai shook his head and said: "At this time, when the courtiers are discussing matters, why is the empress in the front hall?"

   Zhou Man: "...Didn’t you say that the Niang Niang called the ministers to see you?"

  Fulai raised her face slightly, glanced at Zhou Man and then whispered: "My lord is returning to Beijing to report on work, shouldn't you come to see your Majesty?"

  Full week:...

  There must be something wrong in the palace, no, something must have happened in the middle of the court, otherwise the queen would not interfere with the courtiers.

   Zhou Man lowered his voice and asked, "Master Fulai, what happened to Chaozhong?"

"It's nothing, Lord Zhou don't have to worry about it," Fulai said softly after a pause, "but this hour should be about lunch. Recently, your majesty has a good appetite and always likes to leave the ministers in the palace to eat together. Next day, today is the day for Master Na Luo to offer medicinal pills. After lunch is over, Master Na Luo will serve His Majesty and take the pill. He will meditate for a period of time in the afternoon, so Master Zhou should hurry up, or wait for His Majesty. I’m going to have lunch, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with the above duties today."

  The maidservants in the palace are very shrewd. Even if Zhou Man's popularity is good, it is rare to find out so many sentences at once.

  When they didn't give money, they all bounced out one sentence at a time. When giving money, they bounced out word by word, and would not say a word of extra words.

  Like this long paragraph, Zhou Man felt that it must not be Fulai who wanted to tell her, but the empress behind him.

   Zhou Man followed Fu Lai to the Tai Chi Hall, while thinking about it, but what is the pill, and who is the master?

   Zhou Man asked: "Then why Master Luo Ye is not from the Central Plains?"

  Fu Lai whispered: "Na Luo Er Suo Po, from Tianzhu, returned to Beijing with Lord Wang a year ago."

   "Which Lord Wang?"

"The newly-appointed King Chaosan, the doctor, was previously envoy to Tianzhu and was looted by Zhongtianzhu. Then he and Tubo and Nibula used troops to destroy Zhongtianzhu. Last year, he escorted King Zhongtianzhu and the dignitaries back to Beijing to offer prisoners. have you heard of it?"

   Zhou Man suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "I've heard of it, but it's still very famous."

  Last year's favorite of the storyteller in the teahouse and restaurant in Beihai County, Bai Erlang was attracted to leave the government affairs and ran to listen every day. In the end, Bai Shan and Yin jointly cut a meal.

   "He also brought back a...Master?" Zhou Man asked, "Tianzhu, is it always a Taoist priest?"

   "No," Fulai's voice became even smaller, and he looked around and said in an inaudible way: "I'm a monk."

   Zhouman: "Monks also do alchemy?"

  Fu Lai has never been out of the palace very much. The things he is going to say today are all taught by someone, so he doesn’t know, "Doesn’t the monk practice alchemy?"

"I haven't studied this seriously. When I look back, I will go to the Huguo Temple to ask Master Zhiren. Maybe it is a school in the Buddhist family. There are many schools in Taoism and Buddhism," Zhou Man brought the topic back. , Asked: "So Niang Niang asked me to see the pill?"

  Fu Lai smiled and said, "This minion doesn't know it anymore."

  I have said so much, you can control it yourself.
