Chapter 1444 Daddy won’t take anyone with him, just you and the Imperial Master
The hot summer is fierce, and the earth seems to be roasted, with steam rising.
On windless days, the leaves on the big trees remain motionless, stubbornly spreading their greenery.
Cicadas lay on the tree trunks and cicadas kept chirping, pushing the summer heat wave even higher.
In the imperial study, Xia Hongmo and Xia Baoer finished handling government affairs together.
Indoors, two huge pieces of ice were piled up like hills in the left and right corners.
Simple wind blades made of gold foil are swinging slowly.
The hall is filled with a cool and refreshing feeling, isolating the heat wave outside.
Eunuch Dequan duly served two bowls of iced chopped lychees.
The white and tender pulp and crushed ice float in the bowl, with two spoons of osmanthus honey poured on top.
Just by smelling it, you can smell the sweet aroma!
This is Xia Baoer's favorite.
Every time the father and daughter finished handling government affairs, they would sit together and enjoy a bowl of chopped lychees.
This time is no exception.
As Xia Baoer turned the memorial, he sent the sweet juice into his mouth with a spoon.
The fragrance of lychee and osmanthus honey blooms on the tip of the tongue.
Xia Hongmo sat aside, took a look, and said, "Bao'er, take a rest. I've been reading the memorial all day."
However, Xia Baoer put down the bowl, picked up the Zhubi, and drew a circle on a name in the memorial.
"Dad, after much thought, I feel that it is not a good idea to choose this official to patrol the counties."
"Although he has senior qualifications and has achieved great political achievements, there will always be times when he becomes dim as he gets older."
"Secondly, his second son-in-law is now serving as the governor of Youzhou, and Youzhou has undergone a lot of changes in the past two years. If we send officials to investigate, we hope to get the truth. I am afraid that he will conceal something to protect himself."
Xia Baoer's pointed his chin and groaned: "I think about who to change." Xia Hongmo was not in a hurry. He put down the bowl and took a picture of Xia Baoer's shoulder.
"Okay daughter, Dad knows that you worry about me, but you have to rest."
"Come on, let Daddy take a look. Has Bao'er, our baby, been so busy these days that he has black circles under his eyes?"
He held his daughter's cheeks, turned around to take a look, and immediately sighed: "Look, it really is like this."
Xia Hongmo snatched away Zhu Pi and said, "You can't read it anymore. Take a rest and listen to daddy!"
Xia Baoer smiled helplessly: "Dad! This is our government affairs. Why does daddy still allow Baoer to be lazy?"
"Government affairs are endless. There are more and more big and small things in the world being sent to the royal table. Can you still stay up all night without rest at all?"
Xia Hongmo said, "You calm down, your father wants to discuss one thing with you."
Xia Baoer raised her watery eyes, had a small face with a pointed jaw, and was wearing a lotus green dress.
A pair of light pink shoes is embroidered with a budding pink lotus.
She crooked her head, and her crystal clear earrings followed with a soft luster.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day. Daddy plans to take you to escape the heat. How about a visit to see the Queen Mother on the way?"
Xia Baoer smiled: "What's wrong with this? It's just right. I may not have seen Grandma Huang for a long time. When does dad plan to go?"
"Let's set off in two days. I've asked Dequan to make preparations first."
Xia Hongmo rolled his eyes and said meaningfully: "But this time, dad will not take anyone with him. He will take you and the Imperial Master, and you two will accompany me."
Xia Bao'er stunned.
"It's just me and brother Afei?"
What does daddy want to do?
