Chapter Vol 2 693: you have a future
It's not that he's thick-skinned, he's just too curious.
"Did you attend the Dijun's birthday banquet yesterday?"
Zhen Guogong stroked his beard and gave him a sideways look: "Didn't you see the old man's little granddaughter at the banquet?"
"You always talk about Xiao Qingluo?"
Master He's complexion changed slightly, he took a step forward, and put it next to his ear: "Xiao Qingluo suddenly broke into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and rescued the little prince. There are discussions."
"Hmph, what a fart to talk about!"
Zhen Guogong blew his beard and stared: "This old man's own granddaughter is naturally incomparable to ordinary people."
"Hey, you're always right."
Master He answered the words very smoothly, and he was suspected of being flattering.
"If we talk about our Xiao Qingluo's ability, it is not even comparable to the top experts in the world. Ordinary people, who would dare to step on a giant eagle to go to the sky?"
"Beating three barbarian warriors violently by one person, only the Duke of Zhenguo can raise such an excellent granddaughter."
"Hehe, you kid has a future!"
Lord Zhen Guo listened to the music, stroked his beard in satisfaction, and gave him an appreciative look.
"Old Duke, your elders go to court early in the morning, why did you come here?"
He Houye grinned happily, but still did not forget to ask why he came.
No way, the wife is really curious.
Duke Zhen's brows darkened: "Qingluo stayed in the palace for a whole night last night and didn't go home. The old man was worried, so he went to the palace to see her."
Just for this?
Is it worth breaking the practice of more than ten years and making a special trip to the palace?
Lord He Hou was obviously taken aback. For a family of military generals with more than one daughter, the way the Duke of Zhenguo loves his granddaughter cannot be understood for a while.
"Your Majesty has a decree that the court will be exempted today. Please come back, my lords!"
While the two were chatting, a father-in-law came out from behind the high platform of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, announcing the empress' will in a shrill voice.
"Aren't you going to court today?"
"Hey, the Huaihe River is flooded, waiting for His Majesty to issue an order to send people to the Huaihe River Basin to relieve the disaster and appease the people. This time, we have to delay it again."
"Yesterday, the little prince was injured, and His Majesty was not in the mood to go to court. It is understandable."
"When the little prince was not injured, His Majesty didn't go to court every day."
"Hey, when will this day be the end? The backlog of documents in the Ministry of Officials is almost piled up, and His Majesty doesn't even read the paperwork."
"That's right, Your Majesty only cares about your lord, and the style of your lord's dress is more important than the imperial congratulations."
As soon as they heard that the empress was not going to court again today, all the ministers exploded and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.
Lord He glanced regretfully at Duke Zhen: "Master, it's unfortunate that you're old. His Majesty won't be going to court today, so I'm afraid you won't see Xiao Qingluo."
"Eunuch Li, go slowly!"
Duke Zhen rushed to the palace early in the morning, but he would not give up if he failed to see his precious granddaughter who had been worrying all night. He ignored Lord He and walked a few steps to stop the eunuch.
"My lord, is there anything else you need to do?"
Eunuch Chuanzhi stopped when he heard someone calling him, and turned around to see that it was Lord Zhen Guo, with a flattering smile habitually.
"Eunuch Li, last night your lord specially ordered someone to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion to spread the word that it is the old man's own granddaughter who will stay overnight in the palace to treat the little prince."
Duke Zhen didn't waste any time, straight to the point: "Qingluo didn't come back all night, the old man was worried, and came to see her in the palace specially, please send a message from the father-in-law, please allow the old man to meet with his granddaughter."
