He had been managing the northern region for so many years and had always been impartial. Even though Duke Huai Yang's ministry was no longer as glorious as before, he had never taken the opportunity to trample on them and had always been courteous to them.
It was also because of this that the old consort treated him quite well.
"The weather has been good recently. I haven't done a check since I came to take your pulse last time and I happened to pass by today, so I wanted to come and see you."
