Once they passed through the city gates, the pace of the convoy picked up a bit, but given the number of carriages, it still couldn't be too fast.
Manbao took a pouch of water from the horse's side, unscrewed it and took a sip, then sighed again.
The nearby Assistant Ministers couldn't help but swallow their saliva, taking out their water pouches to drink. However, Assistant Minister Liu felt that somehow the water Manbao drank was different from theirs and kept staring at her pouch.
Noticing this, Manbao said, "This is honeysuckle tea, Assistant Minister Liu, would you like some?"
If Zhou Man were not a woman, Assistant Minister Liu might have nodded, but she was, so he just smiled and shook his head.
Manbao remembered this and broke away from the convoy as they went ahead, riding forward to find Princess Mingda's carriage.
Bai Erlang and Mingda were sitting together; the carriage moved slowly, the sun was blazing, and they were bored, so he was somewhat dozing off.
