Chapter 1470 The rising sun is the best hope
Gong Yufei shook his head and said in a calm and calm tone: "It doesn't matter if I don't rest, but Bao'er is exhausted, so she should go."
Xia Baoer raised his eyes and saw the Queen Mother standing on the steps, being supported by her old nanny, looking at them with concern.
The little girl said: "I will go and accompany Grandma Huang first."
Gong Yufei and Xia Hongmo worked together to help the people affected by the disaster, delivering soup or expressing condolences.
"Grandma Huang, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
Xia Baoer was afraid that the Queen Mother would be tired, so she quickly held her arm.
The old grandma stepped aside at the right time.
The Queen Mother looked at her with relief: "The Ai family's son and precious granddaughter are all working hard for the people of Li. How can the Ai family rest on their own?"
She stretched out her hand and smoothed Xia Baoer's broken hair: "My child, you have worked hard. The hem of your skirt is wet, which is not good for your health. Go and change it quickly."
Xia Baoer nodded obediently and smiled playfully.
In order to make the Queen Mother relax, she also joked: "There are too many people today. I took them in and emptied the granary of Grandma Huang. Grandma Huang won't blame Bao'er, right?"
The Queen Mother was indeed amused, and she tapped the tip of Xia Baoer's delicate nose.
"You kid, what are you talking about? The Ai family is the queen mother supported by the people. This food can save their lives at critical moments, so it should be."
Xia Baoer was no longer naughty and was blessed with good health. Accompanied by the palace maid, he entered the back hall to change clothes.
At dawn, just as Gong Yufei said, the water completely receded.
At this time, the morning sun was bright and red, covering the entire land that had been ravaged by floods.
Bringing back the vitality and breeze.
Xia Hongmo took Xia Baoer, Gong Yufei, and countless Li people out of the palace.
They stood on the top of the mountain, watching the fiery red sun rise above the clouds.
No matter how difficult and difficult last night was, I finally got through it.
The rising sun is the best hope. After the flood receded, the government arranged for a large number of people to count the damage to the farmland.
Although the damage to the fields was serious, fortunately there were only over a hundred casualties.
The number of victims reached tens of thousands, but the death toll was controlled to a very small number. This is inseparable from the contributions of Xia Baoer and Jiang Xinqiu.
For a while, the upper and lower faces of the court, and even the city of Jingjing, were reputable to the princess and her big palace girl.
Fortunately, the imperial court had taken precautions for many years and the treasury was full.
Compensation and comfort were provided based on the circumstances of each household.
Under the instruction of the imperial court, the government also dispatched official envoys and ministers from the Ministry of Works to repair families whose houses were seriously damaged.
The flood was merciless, but everyone helped each other, and everything was thriving again.
The Queen Mother finally agreed to Xia Hongmo and Xia Baoer's request.
Following them back to the pension in the palace.
The queen greeted the concubines at the gate of the city.
But the Queen Mother smiled and waved her hands, very calmly: "The Ai family is old, so there is no need to mobilize troops like this. You can go about your business."
Xia Baoer walked around the palace with the Queen Mother and got acquainted with her again.
Then he sent the Queen Mother back to the newly renovated Ci'an Palace.
When the little girl returned to Fuhua Hall, Concubine Hui told her: "Xinqiu was injured last night and is very ill."
"When His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness sent her back this morning, her face was pale. Doctor Guo had just come here and prescribed medicine for her to take. She is much better now."
Xia Baoer heard this and said hurriedly: "I'll go and see her."
