Chapter 952: Chapter 808, Falling from a Building_2

On this side, after chatting with Minister Ge for a while, Xiao Yeyang returned to Daohua’s side and followed Prince Ping into the palace.

"How does Father still know people from the naval forces?" Daohua asked with curiosity, "It seems that the two are quite familiar with each other."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "When Father was young, he was the number one profligate in Beijing. Do you know who was second?"

Daohua guessed, "Minister Ge?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed, "Correct. Both loved to eat, drink, and be merry, so they got along very well. It’s just that Father was lucky, having a brother who became the emperor, so he could continue to live in luxury for a lifetime."

"Minister Ge’s fate wasn’t as good. Just after he reached the prime of life, his father passed away due to illness, and he had to take on the heavy burden of the Jiang Family. This man is also daring and resolute; otherwise, he couldn’t command the Southern Ocean naval forces."

"Didn’t I tell you before that my imperial uncle wants to expand the naval forces? They called him back this time for this matter. When we get a chance, we should invite your Fourth Brother along to pay him a visit."

The New Year’s Eve banquet was held in Taihe Hall. The Empress Dowager had long been sitting there, so everyone did not need to make an additional trip to Cining Palace.

This time, the Empress Dowager did not trouble Daohua and Xiao Yeyang. However, during the conversation, she frequently praised Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechen, appearing even more satisfied with the two.

In response to this, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua did not pay any attention. After performing their courtesies, they directly retreated and took their seats in the spot prepared for them.

The seating for the banquet had been arranged in advance, and no matter how much the Empress Dowager favored Xiao Yechen, she could not change his extremely back-placed position.

Those present did not want to offend the Empress Dowager and casually agreed with a few remarks, but that was the end of it.

The Jiang Family also attended the banquet this time, and compared with their former arrogance, they were now much more low-key.

The banquet’s array of delicacies was mouth-watering, but after the emperor and the ministers praised each other back and forth, the food had almost cooled down.

Daohua, with a fondness for good food, tried a few dishes but soon quietly set down her chopsticks.

In the cold winter months, even though there were charcoal basins burning in the hall, a thin layer of congealed grease formed in the dishes.

Xiao Yeyang asked, "Hungry?"

Daohua shook her head, "Not really, just looking at it makes me want to eat."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "After the fireworks at the "zi shi" (11:00 PM - 1:00 AM), we can go back. Then you can eat as much as you want."
