The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Liang Chongyue took Minglang to a teahouse for morning tea.

"Mom, if you don't eat at home, Grandma will be angry with you."

Liang Chongyue waved her hand dismissively; that's how she's been getting by these days.

The Empress Dowager was already used to it.

"Are you going to eat?"

Minglang glanced at the menu and ordered faster than the Queen Mother.

Liang Chongyue looked at her daughter, who immediately joined the group buy, smiled helplessly, took the menu, glanced at it, and realized that Minglang's tastes were almost identical to hers.

Liang Chongyue handed the menu to the waiter who was waiting on the side: "Give me two of each of the items ordered on the menu."

The servant happily agreed and took the menu downstairs.

Whenever he was by his mother's side, Minglang was always very relaxed, sitting leisurely in a chair eating melon seeds.

"You haven't slept all night, aren't you sleepy now?"

Liang Chongyue poured Minglang a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Minglang picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Plain water? Mother, when did our family fall to this level?"

Liang Chongyue rolled her eyes at Minglang, annoyed.

"If you drink tea now, how will you catch up on your sleep when you get back?"

Minglang found the idea reasonable and sat opposite the Queen Mother with a grin, eating melon seeds.

"How have things been in the capital these days?"

Minglang knew that the Empress Dowager would ask about the situation in the capital and the court as soon as she saw her.

"It's all good. My mother took care of everything for me before she passed away, so I don't have to put in any effort to manage it."

These days, Liang Chongyue would open the panel whenever he had free time to take a look at the situation in the court.

She was just asking to avoid Minglang grabbing her and asking why she didn't care about her.

She could sense perfectly clearly what Minglang was thinking.

After the morning tea was served, Minglang accompanied his mother for a while before starting to feel sleepy.

They had barely slept well these days; as soon as the horses were rested, they would set off.

Upon arrival, the Empress Dowager fed him a bowl of dumplings, and now he has enjoyed many teas and snacks with the Empress Dowager.

Minglang felt a little dizzy.

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get back."

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Minglang immediately got up from the table and lay down on the long couch that was always provided in the private room.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

When the system arrived, drawn by the scent, it was just about to go in and give its host a fright when the host's voice rang in its mind.

"Minglang is asleep, so please be quiet when you come in."

The system paused, its hand poised to knock on the door, and silently flicked out a fingernail, pushing it against the closed door.

When the door to the private room was opened, the fragrant aroma of tea and snacks wafted out.

The system turned around, closed the door, and went inside. Liang Chongyue had already prepared its breakfast.

Liang Chongyue has booked this private room for more than half a year, and it has always been equipped with a large bowl for the system to eat in.

Without Liang Chongyue even lifting a finger, the system glanced at the soundly sleeping Minglang, silently extended its claws again, opened the cabinet door, and took out its eating utensils.

The moment the cabinet door closed, she didn't forget to look back to see if she had woken Minglang.

Fortunately, when Minglang was with its host, it slept even more soundly than the host.

Liang Chongyue used chopsticks to pick up all the untouched tea snacks and put them into the system's bowl.

They were piled up as high as a small mountain.

Most of them were already sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer before they had a chance to eat. The rest...

"Eat up, all of this is yours."

The system was eating heartily, and Liang Chongyue opened the panel to check the situation in the capital.

Neither she nor Minglang were in the capital. Sometimes, even the most trusted people had to be checked and monitored from time to time.

After the system finished its tea and snacks, Liang Chongyue saw that Minglang was sleeping soundly.

The screen switched to show the Empress Dowager.

"It seems that Mother has really fallen in love with cooking lately. I saw her wandering around the market for quite a while before I came."

Liang Chongyue casually adjusted the panel and saw clearly that the people following behind her mother were the guards she had arranged.

Fei He and Li Yu'an also consciously followed behind as laborers. There was nothing for her to worry about, so she simply turned off the panel.

"It's time to go back. Mother should also be going back soon."

The system licked the bowl clean and prepared to wake Minglang, but was stopped by Liang Chongyue.

Liang Chongyue strode forward, wrapped Minglang in the cloak, and carried it on her back.

Tomorrow night, I was half asleep when I realized I was lying on my mother's back.

I simply closed my eyes and continued sleeping.

Whether it was a dream or not, she was sleeping next to her mother.

With her mother, the Empress, around, she didn't believe anyone could hurt her.

Liang Chongyue carried Minglang back to the courtyard and put him on the bed to sleep peacefully. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Qin Xiaosi.

"Why don't you go get some sleep too? There aren't that many rules here."

When His Majesty took His Highness out, Qin Xiaosi followed behind to protect him.

Liang Chongyue could sense his presence.

"Yes, thank you... Miss."

Qin Xiaosi still found it a bit difficult to pronounce her name and hadn't gotten used to it yet.

The bright light was awakened by the aroma of food wafting into the house.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the little dog lying not far from her, still snoring.

It was as if she had returned to the days in the palace, where the little dog would always stay by her side whenever she took a nap.

Her kitten was sleeping on her head. When she got up, the kitten just glanced at her lazily, stretched, and lay back down.

It took up her entire pillow, and she looked like she was sleeping even better than before.

When Minglang came downstairs, he saw his mother being chased out of the kitchen by his grandmother for the first time in his life.

Before she could even ask what was going on, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she saw her.

Minglang had a bad feeling subconsciously, and it was too late to go back and pretend that she was still asleep.

As soon as she turned around, the Queen Mother teleported behind her and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"I feel like my mother's light-footed skills have become even more amazing."

Liang Chongyue had been bored these days, so she sparred with Fei He quite often, practicing more frequently than she did in the palace, which naturally improved her martial arts skills.

"After dinner, let's practice together, mother and daughter."

When Minglang was traveling around half a year ago, he also sparred and practiced martial arts with the people around him.

Upon hearing this, he readily agreed.

She also wanted to see where the gap between her and her mother lay.

"Okay, now go help your grandma taste the dishes. We'll eat when the dishes are ready."

Before Minglang could even react, he was already being pushed into the kitchen by his mother.

"When Minglang wakes up, let's try Grandma's cooking again."

Minglang subconsciously opened her mouth, and a piece of chicken was put into it.

Although it's not hot, it still feels like something's missing.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Minglang smacked his lips twice, then looked sincerely at his grandmother:

"It seems a bit bland."

She then understood how her mother had been driven out by her grandmother.

She looked up and saw her mother standing under the eaves, smiling at her and revealing eight perfect teeth.

Having not seen his mother smile so freely for a long time, Minglang raised his hand and charged towards her:

"Why wait until after dinner? We can do it now."
