Chapter 575 Returning to the Palace
When the emperor went out, the guard of honor was naturally indispensable. He hurriedly prepared and followed behind.
Yun Dai was sitting in the sedan chair, and she could see it from a distance.
At first she didn't believe that Zhao Yuanjing would run out of the palace in person, but when she got closer and saw clearly the handsome man in the bright yellow dragon robe on the horseback, she was sure that it was really him.
Zhao Yuanjing rode his horse and ran to the sedan chair, only nodded with the little emperor's uncle from a distance, then jumped off the horse and went straight to the sedan chair.
"Dale!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Yun Dai raised the curtain and looked at him.
The moment the four eyes met, all thoughts, worries and sorrows all emerged.
None of them could speak.
One stood outside the sedan chair, while the other poked his head out, his eyes fixed.
It wasn't until Yan'er called "Daddy" that they woke up.
"Yan'er is good." Zhao Yuanjing stretched out his hand to hold him out, weighed him, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, Yan'er has sunk a lot and grown taller."
Yun Dai smiled: "Children always grow up very fast."
Zhao Yuanjing held Yan'er with one hand, and stretched out one hand to Yun Dai: "Come."
Yun Dai put her hand into his warm palm, and Zhao Yuanjing held her hand tightly, suddenly feeling that the anxiety and worry of the past two days had all dissipated into clouds.
Yun Dai stood in front of Zhao Yuanjing.
Zhao Yuanjing looked at her.
Her skin was already better than snow, but after not seeing her for a while, her complexion was as sweet as the first snowfall. The agile eyes were still the same as before, only a little more anxious and worried.
The person is also thinner, and the eyes appear to be bigger.
Only the bulging cotton white dress still reminds others that she is a woman who is nearly seven months pregnant.
"You've lost a lot of weight." Zhao Yuanjing gently hugged her heartbroken.
Yun Dai rested her head on his shoulder.
The guards of honor around him all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
Only Zhao Shu cast his eyes in other directions, with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Zhao Yuanjing really missed her very much, no matter if he was still outside, he lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips, and then said in a low voice: "Follow me back to the palace, if you have anything to say, talk slowly when you go back."
Yun Dai nodded.
Zhao Yuanjing hugged Yan'er with one hand and her shoulder with the other, and they rode together in a carriage, passed through the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and returned to the palace.
The late emperor's funeral is almost over. Although the filial piety period has not yet passed, all parts of the palace are gradually returning to the previous situation.
Along the way, Yun Dai discovered many new faces. It gave her a very obvious feeling of being the emperor and courtier.
With the death of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, there will be a process of replacement of the palace officials in power and the courtiers in the court.
Yun Dai couldn't help asking, "Where's Eunuch Yi?"
She was deeply impressed by that old Yi who always stooped.
Zhao Yuanjing said: "After the father died, he also committed suicide."
Yun Dai fell silent.
She felt that the harem was really deserted.
The first emperor had hundreds of concubines, large and small, all of whom were kicked out by King Cheng to become nuns. Yingyingyanyan's harem was empty.
Counting all around Zhao Yuanjing, there were only three women.
Compared with the former emperor, it is really pitifully small.
Yun Dai looked around the empty harem all the way, and suddenly saw Yufu running towards her holding Sister Ying's hand. Behind them, followed by Hongdou, Baoxing, Lianyun Liansheng, and a round Midou with tears streaming down his face.
They stopped in front of Yun Dai with excited expressions and tears in their eyes.
