The speed of the team after leaving the city gate was a little faster, but because there were so many carriages, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't go any faster.

Man Bao took out a bag of water from Ma's waist, opened it and took a sip before sighing again.

The servants on the side couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and took out their water bags to drink water. But for some reason, Liu Shilang always felt that the water Zhou Man drank was different from theirs, so he stared at her water bag.

Man Bao saw it and said, "This is tea soaked with honeysuckle. Would you like to drink it, Minister Liu?"

If Zhou Man was not a woman, Liu Shilang would have nodded, but she was, so Liu Shilang just smiled and shook his head.

Man Bao remembered it in his heart, and when he walked forward, he broke away from the team and ran forward for a while to find Princess Mingda's carriage.

Bai Erlang and Ming Da were sitting together. The carriage was too slow, the sun was bright, and it was boring, so he was dozing off a little at this time.

When the car frame was knocked, he raised his head. Seeing that Mingda seemed to have just woken up, he opened the curtain to take a look.

Man Bao rode beside the carriage and asked him: "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"

Bai Erlang pointed to the chamberlain who was following him and said, "Ask Ma Fuming."

Suddenly he didn't want to sit in the car anymore, so he greeted Mingda and asked the guard outside for his horse.

He was so happy as soon as he got on the horse, "It's better to ride a horse."

Man Bao glanced at him silently, "If you can still say that two quarters of an hour later, I will respect you as a man."

It didn't take more than two-quarters of an hour, but soon he couldn't stand it anymore, "Why is the sun so strong?"

Isn't this normal?

Otherwise, why would the emperor leave the capital to escape the summer heat?

Man Bao said: "I'll go find Doctor Duan to get something. You ask Ma Fuming to go ahead and ask for a stove from the Forbidden Army encamped."

Bai Erlang could only run errands for her.

If Manbao and the others were traveling by themselves, they wouldn't light a fire if they stopped at noon, but this was a holy drive.

However, if Manbao and the others were to travel lightly, the distance between Beijing and Yongzhou would not be so long that they would still be out in the middle of the day.

Most of the people had dry food, including the ministers and ministers who followed them. The imperial soldiers also set up a few stoves to heat up the meals for the nobles.

Bai Erlang directly asked for a cup of tea.

He listened to Man Bao and asked the cook to cook two barrels of thick sour plum soup at home. At this time, he poured it directly into the pot, half a barrel at a time. After it boiled, he sprinkled some dried osmanthus that Man Bao brought into it, and then

Pour it into a bucket filled with a lot of ice...

Bai Erlang stood aside and watched, seeing the dark red soup falling from the white ice, he couldn't help but swallowed. The ice looked so delicious...

He took a spoon and asked for a piece of it, but Man Bao walked over and slapped his hand.

Bai Erlang: "...Why did you come here so quickly?"

Man Bao: "What do you think?"

Bai Erlang ignored her.

The chamberlains and maids stirred the soup and ice in the bucket together, and the ice quickly melted. Then they covered the bucket and sent it to the emperor and empress first.

After a while, the accompanying officials were also given slightly iced sour plum soup. Not to mention, the sun was shining right now, so drinking a bowl of it was indeed very healing.

After finishing their work, the chambermaids and maids gathered together to sip the recently brewed herbal tea, which was also a good way to relieve the heat, but the taste was not as good as the sour plum soup used by adults.

But at this time, they can still drink medicinal tea to relieve summer heat, and they are already very satisfied.

Half of the accompanying chambermaids and maids were riding in carriages and followed from a distance, while the other half were following on their legs beside the carriage.

So they lose more water.

After serving the emperor for lunch, Gu Zhong came over to ask for boiling water to make tea, and a waiter served him a bowl of herbal tea that had been specially iced.

He took a sip and shook his head, "It's better to drink it warm, you are superfluous."

The chamberlain was startled and was about to kneel down.

"That's all," Gu Zhong waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. Is the quantity enough?"

"That's enough. Not only the little ones, but also the imperial guards also drank a bowl of medicinal tea."

Gu Zhong nodded slightly, "Master Zhou is careful, you should also be careful. It's rare for anyone to remember us humble people. If someone catches the heat, they go to see Dr. Duan for help. Don't just go for a short distance like in previous years."

It’s better to die or live several times.”

The chamberlain bowed in response.

The carriage was running slowly, and it was almost dusk before they arrived at the Yongzhou Palace.

The emperor and the nobles went directly to the palace that had been arranged, and Manbao didn't have to work too hard. After exhaling, he called an eunuch and asked, "Am I alone in the courtyard, or am I with Mr. Bai from Zhongshu Province?"

The chamberlain smiled and said, "Master Bai is already living in Master Zhou's yard."

Manbao became satisfied, nodded and followed the chambermaid to her yard.

This time the emperor took a summer vacation to show favor to his ministers, so he allowed officials above the fourth rank to bring their families.

There were not many officials above the fourth rank in the imperial court, and only half of them came, so one person could still afford a courtyard.

I don't know whether it was because Bai Shan was from Zhongshu Province, or because of Man Bao's special nature, but the courtyard they were assigned to was adjacent to Mr. Wei's courtyard and not very far from the Changqiu Palace where the emperor lived.

Further outside are the residences of the ministers.

Yin Li lived inside, two yards away from theirs, well, diagonally opposite.

Yin or wearing a big hat came over with nothing to do, and happened to meet Man Bao who was about to enter.

When the two of them saw each other, their eyes lit up. Man Bao stepped forward and said with a smile: "I looked for you during the lunch break. They said you came one step ahead. How come you came in later than us?"

Yin You said with a smile: "I will wait at the foot of the mountain when I arrive. I will come in after you have all entered."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Man Bao nodded and said, "I'll go clean up first, and we'll have dinner together when Bai Shan comes back."

Yin You nodded with a smile.

Bai Shan was obviously not available for a while, so Man Bao entered his small courtyard. He entered the courtyard as soon as he entered, but there were three rooms in the middle, and people could live in both the east and west wings.

She pushed open the door of the main room and saw that the inside was fairly clean, so she took off her official hat and hung it on it, and let out a sigh of relief. She was obviously just riding a horse today, but she was so tired.

She sat there for a while, and the servant and luggage that were left behind finally passed the inspection and came up the mountain.

Daji and the two guards carried two boxes, Xibing Wuyue carried a large bundle on his back and arms, and came in followed by a chamberlain.

Man Bao heard the commotion and went out. He reached out to take the bundle from Yue Yue's arms and was speechless, "Didn't I just pack one box? Why are there so many extra things?"

Wuyue whispered: "After my wife went out this morning, the old lady came over to see her. She felt that she brought too few things, so she packed another box."

So I almost missed the registration date.

The list of family members and servants who came with the officials was registered early in the morning, but the luggage was registered now. How many boxes and luggage were brought were recorded.

Otherwise, all the officials and subordinates in the capital would be crazy busy today.

Man Bao felt that the most relaxed person was the emperor.
