Chapter 187 The promise will not fail
Imperial Physician Luo drank three cups of tea in the inner room. When he drank the fourth cup, he found that he had a slight urge to urinate. But when he looked around, he found that there was no bucket in it. It must be in the room to the west.
However, the prince and Meng Changqing were talking outside, and it was really inconvenient for him to go out.
Only then did Dr. Luo begin to regret that he shouldn't have drank so much tea. The feeling of holding in his urine was really unpleasant.
He could sit safely on the stool at first, but his urge to urinate became so strong that he began to rock on the chair. Later, he couldn't sit still at all and stood up and walked around in circles.
He wondered what the prince and Master Meng had to say. They are all men, how come they have such good feelings?
If not for His Majesty's secret permission, he would not have waded into the muddy waters.
Just when he was considering whether to rush out without any sense or to endure it any longer, he heard footsteps and the door to the inner room was finally opened.
Meng Changqing saw the imperial doctor standing facing the door with a very anxious look on his face, "Physician Luo, I have a favor..."
Before he could finish his words, Royal Physician Luo rushed out.
Meng Changqing felt confused until he heard the sound of water coming from the other side.
When Royal Physician Luo came out again, he lowered his head and did not look at the prince or Meng Changqing. "Master Meng, I have been listening in the room. Your voice is normal and your energy is sufficient. There will be no major problems with your body. Then , I'll take my leave first." After that, he picked up the medicine box and stood outside the house.
The prince nodded to Meng Changqing, lowered his hat, and walked out.
Meng Changqing stepped forward and saluted, "Farewell, Your Majesty the Imperial Physician."
Bafang came from the side, "Master, what took you so long?"
"The imperial doctor is cautious and asks questions carefully. Come in and sit for a while."
Not long after the imperial doctor left, the previous official came in with two plates of snacks.
The official said: "You used to be the companion of the East Palace. You know all the rules in the palace. I will omit the bowing and kneeling.
I don’t know if you know that in the early years of this dynasty, officials in the capital above the sixth rank had to go to the imperial meeting. However, in the later period, there were more and more officials, and there was no room for them in the palace, so the rules were changed, and only those above the sixth rank could go to the court.
Therefore, there is no place for you to stand in the hall. When the morning dynasty begins, you have to wait outside the hall until you hear the announcement before you can enter.
After entering the palace tomorrow, I will tell you the specific waiting position.
After getting the message, you should walk forward from the middle of the gate. Remember not to go astray. As you walk, look at the court uniforms of the officials on both sides. Stop when you reach approximately where the third-rank officials are standing. If His Majesty orders you to come forward, you can continue to go forward, but you should not go beyond the position where the first-rank officer is standing.
Tomorrow you need to wait in front of Zhuque Gate before Mao hour. Other officials are also there and there are many people. You can stand in a conspicuous place then and I will go find you. Just follow me. ”
"Thank you for taking care of me, sir."
"We don't take the care seriously. We do the same thing when other foreign officials meet." The official continued: "In court, your Majesty must not speak out without asking questions, do not talk privately with other adults, and do not look around and wink... …”
He talked for about an hour, taking care of everything, and his easy-going attitude was far beyond Meng Changqing's imagination.
When she first learned the etiquette of entering the palace and was taught by the eunuchs in the palace, she was not so patient.
After coming out of the Ministry of Rites, Meng Changqing assigned a job to Bafang, "Go to the clan mansion to get something for me."
"What is it?"
"Qi Renli's tribute test paper, when you get it, remember to check if it is correct."
"I'll be there right away."
Meng Changqing had lunch and waited until Bafang came back.
"Master, the paper you mentioned has been used in advance." Bafang trotted up to Meng Changqing, "Taifu specially asked me to go to the study to talk. He asked about the person, who should be available, and said that the paper was gone. It’s a good thing, no matter whether that person can go to Beishan County or not, your promise will not fail.”
Meng Changqing understood.
"Master." Bafang ignored his still hungry stomach and turned a blind eye to the food in front of him, "I haven't been with you for a day, who is Qi Renli?"
"I met him by chance in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I chatted with him for a few words and found him very compatible. He was even willing to go to Beishan County to be the county magistrate, so I mentioned this man to the Taifu."
"Go to Beishan County to become a county magistrate?" Bafang only focused on this point, "Master, it's not that I don't study seriously. Is there a county magistrate in this dynasty?"
"Yes, let's eat first."
