Liang Zhan couldn't help but think of his childhood. His biological mother was of low status, so he was sent to Concubine Demu as soon as he was born.

Concubine Demu had no children in her life, so she treated him as her own son and loved him dearly.

Although he did not grow up with his biological mother, he was no less favored by his mother than his brothers who grew up with their biological mother.

No one born in the royal family is ugly. Perhaps because he grew up under the careful care of Concubine De, he looks more like Concubine De. If it weren't for the gossips of the palace people, he would never doubt his life experience.

Liang Zhan's eyes were filled with longing as he looked through his beloved concubine to see Chongyue's loving expression, and he seemed to vaguely see Concubine Demu.

Ten years passed in a flash, and he could no longer remember what his mother looked like. In his memory, his mother was always graceful, bright and dignified. The portrait hanging in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity was not as good as his mother.

The emperor remained silent. Xiang Huayue looked up at him in confusion and caught a glimpse of the deep sadness in his eyes.

She had only seen the emperor look so sad when he was drunk and missing Empress Dowager Xiaohuiren.

"The dead are gone, and the living remain. Your Majesty will work hard to govern the country and live forever. My mother's spirit in heaven will surely be happy for you."

Xiang Huayue comforted the emperor softly, and Liang Chongyue was also very considerate and kicked his legs with all his strength, humming.

Liang Zhan was kicked out of his sadness by his little daughter. He was not displeased at all. Instead, he looked at his beloved concubine with surprise.

"Did you see that, Yue'er? Chongyue just kicked me with so much strength."

Liang Zhan was still recalling the kick he had just received.

"Chongyue is the most energetic of all my children. I felt so sorry for her when I was pregnant with her."

Liang Zhan held his daughter in his arms and shook her, feeling the solid weight in his hands, with joy mixed with expectation in his eyes.

Liang Chongyue almost vomited out the milk she had just drunk. When she recovered, she was already being carried into the grandmother's hall by the wet nurse.

The stumbling and falling thing afterwards was indeed not suitable for her to watch.

The next day, it was not until the hour of Si that she saw her sleepy mother.

Liang Chongyue was held in her grandmother's arms, listening to them chatting.

"The Emperor told me last night about Chongyue's full moon banquet. It will be prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites and will be held in the Golden Throne Hall. By then, my father and my third and fourth brothers will be able to bring their families into the palace."

When my mother said this, her eyes were shining. If she didn't say it, who would have known that the beautiful woman in front of them had just given birth two months ago.

"It's a pity that the war at the border hasn't ended yet, otherwise our family would be reunited. I don't know how my eldest and second brothers are doing at the border. There has been no news for a long time."

Liang Chongyue noticed the loneliness in his mother's eyes, but before he could make any sound to comfort her, his grandmother turned him around and he could only stare at Mother Liu who was serving him.

"Don't worry. No news is the best news. Your father said that after the war subsides, the border will be stable for at least ten years. By then, your eldest and second brothers will be able to return to the capital to report on their work. Living together in the capital, are you still worried that your family will not have the opportunity to reunite?"

After comforting her daughter, Princess Gaoyang gave Mother Liu a look, who immediately understood, bowed, and walked out.

Xiang Huayue watched Mother Liu leave, then looked at her daughter blowing bubbles in her mother's arms and said:

"Chongyue is already two months old and weighs ten kilograms. Mother has to hold her all the time so her hands don't get tired."

Chongyue was born and raised well. Even when she held him in her arms, her arms would feel sore after a while, and Chunchan had to rub him for a long time to relieve the pain. These days, her mother wanted to hold him in her arms every day and was reluctant to let go for a moment. Her hands felt sore just watching her.

"Children grow up quickly. If you don't hold them more while they're young, when Chongyue grows up, grandma won't be able to hold her even if she wants to."

Princess Gaoyang's loving eyes were reluctant to leave Chongyue for a moment, and there was a slight glimmer in her eyes.

"Isn't that right? Chongyue?"

Unlike the blood relationship with the mother, the love of the grandmother is more likely to make people fall into it.

When Liang Chongyue met this grandmother for the first time, she liked her very much.

The elegant and noble woman, although there are traces of time in the corners of her eyes, cannot hide her former elegance and grace.

My mother is so beautiful, she must have inherited it from my grandmother.

With such a perfect gene chain, her dream of becoming a beauty will definitely come true.

"Hmmmm."

She couldn't speak yet and could only hum and nod in response to the woman in front of her who loved her.

Her honest and cute response made everyone in the room laugh. Her warm and happy laughter has been floating in the wind in Yiku Palace since she was born.

It was not until Mother Liu and a group of palace maids entered the hall holding things in their hands that the two of them stopped laughing.

Mother Liu asked the palace maid to put down the things in her hands and then sent her out.

"Madam, you have brought all your things."

Princess Gaoyang turned to meet her daughter's puzzled gaze, smiled, asked the wet nurse to take Chongyue aside, and took her daughter's hand to walk to the table.

The exquisite boxes were opened one by one, and three sets of exquisite rubies, green jadeites and kingfisher headpieces were the first to come into view.

The intricate craftsmanship and pure jewels are so exquisite that one can tell just how much the people who prepared them care about their future owners.

Even Xiang Huayue, who grew up in luxury, was truly amazed.

"These gemstones and jade were found by your second brother at the border and brought back seven months ago. We hired skilled craftsmen to make them especially for you."

"This jade crown was originally intended to be your birthday gift. At that time, the Yikun Palace even inspected the things of the Imperial Household Department, so we didn't send it to the palace."

The kingfisher feather crown is rare. A complete set of headwear has more than fifty pieces, and these three boxes occupy the entire table.

"I knew that my second brother loved me the most. Such fine jewelry is not often found in the palace. I guess he must have put a lot of effort into finding it."

When Xiang Huayue mentioned the second brother who was so bright and handsome in his memory, his nose felt sore.

The boxes in the room were opened one by one.

All kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and gold, glittering with golden light and colorful, dazzled the eyes of everyone present.

Chunchan has been with the Empress since she was a child and has seen the most rare and exquisite things. The things in these boxes must be priceless, but except for the three head ornaments, they are all ordinary things, not as precious as a hand-pin of the Empress when she was in her boudoir.

Since marrying into the royal family, the things the Empress wears and carries have become more and more ordinary.

Princess Gaoyang naturally felt that these things were not worthy of her daughter and her newborn granddaughter, but the system was such that no matter how good the things were at home, it was difficult to bring them into the palace.

The eldest brother gave me various whipped furs, all of which were rare and precious beast skins. They were made into cloaks, which were the best way to resist wind and cold in winter.

The third brother was the most simple and unpretentious. He gave two large boxes of banknotes.

When the box was first opened, a lot of banknotes inside fell out.

It took Chunchan a long time to pick up all the banknotes on the ground.

There are still three boxes left. Based on Xiang Huayue's understanding of her brother, it would be good if one of these three boxes was a gift from him.
