Chapter 2290 She’s Not a Little Girl Anymore
It is now the flood season in the south, and several provinces have been experiencing heavy rain for several days. What is even more frightening is that the flood season has not been able to prevent the locust plague.
Locusts were swarming in Gui'an County, and officials there sent urgent messages to the court three times a day crying for help.
I'm afraid they are still discussing these matters in the morning.
Yun Dai waited for a while in Chengqian Hall, but before Zhao Yuanjing could wait, Hong Dou arrived first.
Jin Lan is an official of the imperial court and is also in the court at this moment.
Hongdou was teaching, and when he was summoned by the palace, he immediately left several noble ladies and followed Bao Xing into the palace.
"Empress," she came in joyfully, knelt down and gave Yun Dai a big salute, "I heard you were back yesterday. I thought you were tired from traveling, so I will come to the palace to see you in two days."
"Get up."
Yun Dai pulled her up and said, "Come sit here and talk."
Hongdou sat down with a smile, looked at the Queen's beautiful face, and said with a smile: "The Queen has lost some weight during this time, but she is getting younger."
Yun Dai glanced at her and said, "You are not bad either. You are still as beautiful as a flower, but you are dressed more and more old-fashioned."
Hongdou seemed to want to deliberately downplay her appearance, and her dress was no different from those of the forty and fifty-year-old nuns in the palace. There was no bright color at all on his body.
"I'm two years older than your empress. I'll be thirty in two years, so I'm no longer a little girl. This is good. I teach classes every day, and I look more stable." Hongdou said with a smile.
"Drink tea." Yun Dai pushed the teacup to her.
"Why are you meeting me here?" Hong Dou asked curiously.
It seems that she has never been to the Emperor's Chengqian Palace.
Yun Dai asked: "Did you know that Caicai entered the palace just now?"
"I... don't know." Hongdou said with a smile, "When this child gets older, he often goes to the palace to play with the princesses by himself, and sometimes he doesn't even tell me."
"Although you are busy, you still have to take some time to care about her."
Hongdou heard that something was wrong and asked quickly: "Mother, is Caicai in trouble?"
"Caicai came here crying and was so scared that she was covered in cold sweat."
"What's wrong with her?" Hongdou frowned, "Yesterday, it was Mr. Jin's birthday and a carriage was sent to take her back. He also said that he would spend the night there, so I didn't care. I thought I would pick her up after the afternoon class. "
Yun Dai told Caicai what he was crying about.
Hongdou heard this and sneered: "I'm raising Caicai. Their family wants to arrange the marriage secretly? Unless I die. I'm going to find Jin Lan. If this matter is serious, I won't let it go. The worst is to make a mess. I am If you don't care, we want to see if the face-conscious Jin family can bear it. Madam, I will take Caicai back right now."
"Now that Cai Cai is staying in the palace, I won't ask her to go back for the time being. I will let her stay with the two princesses for a few days. I think she is frightened. After all, she is still a child."
Hongdou gritted his teeth and said: "They harmed their own daughter, and they came to tease my daughter. The whole family is so bad! I want to ask Jin Lan if his precious little daughter is also engaged!"
At this time, voices and footsteps were heard outside.
The emperor came back from court.
Yun Dai and Hong Dou hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"The queen is indeed here, and so is Lady Wei." Zhao Yuanjing's laughter came, followed by King Qin and Jin Lan.
When the two of them saw Yun Dai, they each saluted.
Zhao Yuanjing held Yun Dai's hand and said: "After going to court just now, I called the little emperor's uncle to discuss it with him. Unexpectedly, Baoxing stopped Jin Lan and said that the Queen Empress summoned Jin Lan, so I I brought him here with me.”
