After entering the city, Zhao Hao first sent Zhuo Ya to the first floor, and then returned home.
Qin Shuyun was so excited to see him come back that she pulled him aside and asked him all kinds of questions.
I was even happier when I heard him say that I wouldn’t have to go there anymore.
However, after being happy, she started wiping away tears again when she saw Zhao Hao looking so dark and thin.
Qin Shuyun asked the chef to prepare a large table of dishes. When the mother and daughter were eating, Eunuch Qu arrived.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was eating, he hurriedly said, "Greetings to the Lord, and to the Madam. His Majesty has asked us to convey the decree and summon the Lord to the palace."
Qin Shuyun hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, we haven't finished the meal yet..."
Eunuch Qu said quickly, "It's okay, you can eat first, we'll just wait a little while!"
Qin Shuyun heard this and immediately smiled and nodded: "That's good."
Zhao Hao put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'm almost done eating. Let's go to the palace first."
Qin Shuyun was unwilling when she heard it, but she didn't say anything and just nodded helplessly.
Zhao Hao looked at Eunuch Qu: "Eunuch, let's go!"
Eunuch Qu also noticed that Qin Shuyun was unhappy, and couldn't help but say, "Master, there's no need to be so anxious."
Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Nothing, let's go."
The two of them came out of the mansion and got on the carriage. Eunuch Qu said, "Your Excellency has been in Qinzhou for so long. It must be very hard. You are thinner than during the Spring Festival!"
Zhao Hao sighed and said, "My father-in-law has a keen eye. This period of time is really unbearable to look back on. I only sleep for two hours a day."
"However, working for His Majesty and for the country is what we should do no matter how hard it is."
"Eunuch, just keep this to yourself, but don't tell it to His Majesty."
"I don't want to seek credit from His Majesty for this."
Eunuch Qu took a deep breath and straightened his body a lot.
With eyes full of admiration, he said: "Your Excellency is devoted to the public and His Majesty, yet he does not take credit for himself. This is truly admirable!"
"Sir, you are truly a role model for the world. If everyone in my company wants to be like you, my company will surely prosper!"
Zhao Hao hurriedly said humbly: "You are too kind, eunuch. Zhao Hao has not done enough! Eunuch, please don't say this to His Majesty!"
Eunuch Qu immediately said, "Sir, you are simply the most humble person in the world!"
Zhao Hao said: "Father-in-law, please don't praise me like that. I just did some trivial things."
"Again, please don't tell His Majesty!"
As they talked, the carriage entered the palace.
The lights in the Pepper Room were already lit.
When Zhao Hao stepped in, Jiang Wan'er was wearing plain clothes and reviewing memorials.
When she saw Zhao Hao coming in, her beautiful eyes trembled.
Because Zhao Hao is now more than two times thinner than he was during the Spring Festival.
It's also darker.
Zhao Hao bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"
Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath, looked at Eunuch Qu and said, "You can go down."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qu bowed and retreated immediately.
Jiang Wan'er's gaze fell on Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao raised his head slightly and looked at her.
The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Jiang Wan'er spoke first: "Come forward."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao walked up to her desk.
Jiang Wan'er blinked her beautiful eyes, slowly stood up, walked to Zhao Hao, and looked at him carefully.
After looking for a while, she gently reached out and slowly took one of Zhao Hao's hands.
Zhao Hao's hands were also dark and extremely rough, with calluses all over the palms.
As she watched, Jiang Wan'er walked up to Zhao Hao again and took his other hand.
Do the same with the other hand.
After looking for a while, Jiang Wan'er slowly raised her head and looked at Zhao Hao again.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wan'er took a breath again and said softly, "It's hard for you!"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "No need to say that, Qinzhou is almost done, and it will just run normally from now on..."
Jiang Wan'er waved her hand and stopped him from continuing.
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear this now!"
Zhao Hao was stunned and asked softly, "Then what does Your Majesty want to hear?"
Jiang Wan'er shook her head: "I don't want to hear anything."
Looking at her appearance, Zhao Hao slowly stepped forward, gently stretched out his hand, and hugged her slender waist.
The two of them were close together, Zhao Hao said gently: "Your Majesty, are you worried about me?"
Jiang Wan'er sighed: "You are so tired, shouldn't I feel sorry for you?"
Zhao Hao said softly: "If that's the case, then Your Majesty, don't let me work anymore in the future!"
Jiang Wan'er said, "Okay, I'll let you have a good rest for a while, and then I'll arrange your marriage with Yongning!"
Zhao Hao's eyes moved, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Jiang Wan'er asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "It's time to do it. Your Majesty and Your Highness, are you all right during this period?"
Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but snorted when she heard this: "If you want to ask that girl, just ask directly. Why bother bringing me along?"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly.
Jiang Wan'er said, "That girl is fine, she just misses you so much! You can go check on her later."
Zhao Hao nodded: "What about your majesty?"
Jiang Wan'er said: "Didn't you see it all?"
Zhao Hao said: "I want to ask, does Your Majesty miss me?"
Jiang Wan'er snorted softly, then stretched out a jade finger and tapped Zhao Hao's forehead.
"You are just a little brat, what do you have to think about!"
Zhao Hao smiled: "Really?"
Jiang Wan'er gently lifted his chin and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Hao simply said nothing and kissed her soft lips directly.
Jiang Wan'er stiffened for a moment, then she wrapped her arms around Zhao Hao's neck, and the two kissed passionately.
Just when both of them were very engrossed, they heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"Royal sister, Zhao Hao is back, right?"
The voice was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
The two of them had their eyes closed originally, but they opened their eyes instantly upon hearing the sound. Jiang Wan'er reacted faster than Zhao Hao and pushed Zhao Hao out.
Zhao Hao was a beat slow to react, and after being pushed, he staggered and almost fell.
Just then, Princess Yongning ran in quickly.
The two almost collided with each other.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao reacted quickly and grabbed Princess Yongning's arm.
“Your Highness…”
Princess Yongning didn't expect that she almost collided with Zhao Hao.
However, at this moment she had no time to think about these things.
When she saw Zhao Hao, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Zhao Hao..."
After she called out the name Zhao Hao, she could no longer control herself. Tears instantly flowed out and she threw herself into Zhao Hao's arms.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, looked back at Jiang Wan'er, and then slowly hugged Princess Yongning.
