Manbao said, "His Highness asked me why I chose the Crown Prince; in fact, I never chose the Crown Prince. I am sincere; I am a doctor, and a subject of His Majesty. I only acknowledge His Majesty's orders. As long as he is the Crown Prince, the eldest son of the emperor, I will support him just like Lord Wei and Lord Tang do. Surely you won't say Lord Wei and Lord Tang are also the Crown Prince's people, will you?"
Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man with mockery, "How dare you compare yourself to Wei Zhi and Tang Hui?"
Manbao thickened her face, not blushing at all, thinking to herself, what's wrong with comparing myself to them?
It's the attitude I'm comparing, not talent. Besides, in her own field, isn't she quite talented too?
The two seemed to part on a slightly unhappy note, but they had to walk the same path next.
Prince Gong glanced at her, unsure if he absorbed her words, but he turned around and left anyway.
