Zhao Hanzhang greatly praised Zhao Mingming and recapped her trip to Liaodong. The mother and daughter had lunch in the grand hall and chatted until around 3:00 PM, when Zhao Yunxin, the Secretary General, arrived with a large stack of documents.
Only then did Zhao Hanzhang let Zhao Mingming go to rest, saying, "Go visit your grandmothers."
Zhao Mingming missed her father and brother more and quickly asked, "Is Father coming back tonight?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "I've already sent someone to the Observing Things Department; he will definitely come back."
Zhao Mingming was happy to head to the rear palace.
After leaving the main hall, she avoided the gaze of the ministers and took off running.
The attendants behind her hurriedly chased after, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, it's inappropriate to run in the palace..."
Zhao Mingming darted away and replied, "I'm going to visit the Empress Dowager!"
