Chapter 952 - 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.
