After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

"Sister." Zhao Hao spoke at the right time, "You blame me. Before you left Beijing, you asked me to take good care of my family. It's me who didn't do it."

Zhao Hao said this and knelt down in front of Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Hao intently for a few moments, then pulled him up, "Get up."

"I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong, Zhao Hao. You've done very well."

"Grandma was already weak, and Grandpa and Grandma were very close. He missed her so much."

Zhao Ying understood all of this.

Naturally, she would not blame Zhao Hao for this.

Zhao Hao immediately had the same idea as Xie Yao. He would rather his sister blame him!

Zhao Ying was already very strong to begin with, and now he was even stronger, so he pulled Zhao Hao up with one hand.

"This time when I return to Beijing, I may stay until after the New Year. During this time, I will spend more time with my grandfather."

Zhao Ying said, "It's the end of the year, and I know you're all busy. I just need to look at the account books, and I can do that at home."

"You all take care of yourselves, I'll take care of Grandfather here."

"Okay." Xie Yao agreed directly. There was no need to say anything empty words between her and Sister Ying.

She has a pair of children and is now pregnant. She also has the responsibilities of a queen and cannot leave the palace every day to take care of them.

Zhao Hao was hesitant and conflicted. He naturally wanted to show more filial piety to his grandfather, but as Zhao Ying said, it was the end of the year and there were many things to do in the government office.

"Listen to me." Zhao Ying glanced at him and made the decision directly.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sister."

He has also grown up. Now he is not only his grandfather's grandson, but also an official in the court. He is in the Dali Temple and has many cases waiting for him to investigate.

He is more responsible to the people.

Finished talking about family matters.

Xie Yao and Zhao Ying looked at each other and talked about state affairs again.

"What's the situation in the north?" Zhao Ying was in a hurry on the way, and he didn't know as much about the situation as Xie Yao.

Xie Yao said, "Three days ago, Hu Yanye led a large army to attack, but was repelled by the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Seeing Zhao Ying's expression change drastically, he looked worried.

Xie Yao further explained, "Now it has calmed down. Hu Yanye has already stopped fighting."

Ok?

Zhao Ying was very surprised.

She had also been in the northern border for some time and believed that she had some understanding of Huyan Ye. Was Huyan Ye someone who would retreat so easily?

Even if Hu Yanye's plan was discovered and repelled by Pei Chen, Hu Yanye would not retreat so easily.

unless……

Zhao Ying thought of something and looked at Xie Yao in surprise.

What happened in Beijing?

Xie Yao nodded and said, "Hu Yanyuan has already returned to the Northern Frontier. You had already left for the capital when this person left, so you don't know."

After all, Hu Yanyuan's affairs must be kept secret. Zhao Ying is on the road, and it is not safe to tell her such news, as there is a risk of leakage.

Xie Yao briefly explained Hu Yanyuan's situation, and Zhao Ying immediately understood. "It seems that the Northern Frontier will be bustling for a while."

At this moment, the voice of the attendant came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Xiao Ji is here.

Xie Yao, Zhao Ying and others were about to go out to greet them immediately, but Xiao Ji was faster and had already entered the door.

He didn't let anyone know in advance because he didn't want Xie Yao to go out to greet him.

It's freezing outside.

Xiao Ji subconsciously wanted to walk towards Xie Yao, but he stopped after taking only two steps.

His expression changed slightly, and then he retreated silently.

Zhao Ying saw this scene after she saluted. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she thought of something. "I heard that His Majesty becomes unwell when he's near women other than the Empress... It seems the rumors are true."
