capital, Zhulan looked at her daughter in formal attire, "Have you just returned from within the palace?"
Xue Han nodded, "Yes, the Tribes of the Grasslands have come to the capital, and today I dressed in formal attire to accompany the Empress to meet a few Princess Consorts."
Zhulan knew, "They came to seek help because of the disaster caused by heavy snow?"
Xue Han, "This year's snow on the grasslands was also heavy, killing a lot of cattle and sheep."
"Is the Retired Emperor feeling any better?"
That the Retired Emperor has been so quiet this winter is all because he overindulged in the south, completely forgetting how old he was. Upon returning to the capital, he felt unwell, and when winter set in, he stayed in the Qin Prince Residence. The recent heavy snow has made the Retired Emperor fall ill.
Xue Han, "Father's illness is not serious, but Mother is worried and has been watching over him. Now he is almost fully recovered."
