“His surname is Ye, and his father, Ye Ren’an, was the prefect of Jiaozhou, a fourth-rank official,” Yu Rui told him.
“And then there’s Tianquan, whose father is the son of a second-rank general stationed on the southwestern border. And the eldest child, Tianshu, whose father is Luo Yuansong, a second-rank censor.” After saying this, Yu Rui lifted his foot and walked towards the gate.
The moment I turned around, I saw the shocked expressions on the faces of my colleagues.
Very well, Yu Rui rarely did this, so he suppressed a laugh and continued walking forward.
"Minister Yu, is that Miss Hong the one who rescued Minister Wei's grandson, the one who helped the Ministry of Rites receive the foreign delegation, and the one His Majesty granted her the position of female official?" The powerful man came to his senses and quickly caught up with the prince consort to ask.
"Yes, it's her." Yu Rui replied, but didn't stop walking.
After hearing Yu Rui's words, Pang Da was stunned for a moment, then stomped his feet and pounded his chest in frustration.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" someone asked worriedly.
"This young lady Hong is quite an extraordinary woman. Not only did she receive foreign delegations, but she also helped the current empress clear her name. It was she who predicted the white disaster that would occur in the north this year and informed His Majesty, which is why His Majesty ordered people to make preparations in advance. Otherwise, this white disaster would have taken the lives of countless people."
Given her capabilities, it's not surprising that she would know someone skilled in building dams.
Oh, it's all my fault. I didn't even know that this extraordinary woman was right in front of me.
He was so rude to her, alas! At this moment, the powerful man was truly filled with remorse.
When he first learned of these things from a letter from a friend in the capital, he was filled with admiration and thought that he would like to have the opportunity to meet this extraordinary woman someday. He never expected that she would be so close, right before his eyes, but he made a mistake and missed the chance. The saying "a leaf can block the view of Mount Tai" actually applied to him at one time!
Xiao and Meng were even more shocked than the Prefect. The meals they had been eating these past few days had all been prepared by the Prefect's son.
What if I had known earlier? Would I have decided not to eat there?
It seems unlikely; I'll probably eat a few more bites.
You might be able to eat delicacies if you have enough money in your pocket, but can you really have the chance to eat a meal cooked by the son of a prefect?
And it was cooked so deliciously, this person is truly lucky.
However, even though they were shocked and regretful, they quickly calmed down and got back to work.
The problem that I couldn't solve even after racking my brains before was solved immediately by the expert they found, who also provided three solutions.
Before long, Pang Da and his team had reviewed all three proposals in turn.
It not only includes pictures, but also notes and explanations.
It's said that laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. After reviewing these three proposals, they had absolutely no doubts.
All the issues they were worried about, the ones they considered, and the ones they didn't consider, are explained above.
...
Inside Luohua Prefecture, Princess Yuening was overjoyed to learn of her daughter's return when she heard that Lady Hong and the others were leaving.
Seeing her daughter looking at her with a troubled and uneasy expression, Princess Yuening quickly spoke first, asking her if she wanted to go with Lady Hong and the others, and she agreed.
Yao Guang threw herself into her mother's arms, crying and laughing at the same time.
Princess Yuening didn't give her daughter any instructions, but hurriedly urged Hong Xiaoduo and the others to stay for lunch before leaving.
Hong Xiaoduo couldn't refuse, and besides, it was almost noon.
At that moment, Tianxuan went out to buy supplies with her elder brother and master.
Princess Yuening, along with Hong Xiaoduo and her entourage, had lunch at the best restaurant in the city.
During the banquet, Princess Yuening asked Hong Xiaoduo if she wanted a few attendants. Hong Xiaoduo declined, but said she could arrange a reliable maid to accompany and take care of Yaoguang.
Princess Yuening was not even happy when Yaoguang immediately refused, saying that although she was the youngest, she did not need any care.
Seeing her resolute expression, Princess Yuening had no choice but to give up.
When it was time to part in the afternoon, Princess Yuening's eyes reddened. She watched her daughter happily get into the carriage, but she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She knew it wasn't that her daughter was heartless; she just really envied Hong Xiaoduo!
After watching the carriage disappear from sight, Princess Yuening looked down at the three children standing beside her, who were cautiously looking at her.
"Let's go back." Princess Yuening said with a smile, taking Zhaohua's hand in one hand and her third son Yu Qingchen's hand in the other, with the eldest son Yu Qingjia following behind, as they walked towards the carriage.
The three children were relieved to realize that their mother was not truly sad or upset from her expression and voice.
...
Meanwhile, as soon as the carriage left the city gate, Hong Xiaoduo took out some yogurt from her spatial storage and let the children distribute it among themselves. Then she started playing checkers with a few of the children. Even though she was the one who taught them, she couldn't beat them now, and her face was covered in several pieces of paper, making her look quite comical.
As Quan Jinghuai rode on horseback, drinking the yogurt his disciple handed him through the carriage window, listening to the laughter and chatter inside, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering how much longer he could enjoy such a warm and carefree life.
Inside the carriage, Hong Xiaoduo had a new opponent, Tianquan. She had just picked up a chess piece and was about to place it when she heard Old Luo's voice calling her.
"I'm not playing anymore, this is unfair! You guys are playing a game of tag, I need to take a nap and rest for a bit, then we'll continue when I wake up." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo wiped the note off her face and leaned against the pillows, closing her eyes to rest.
