"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you over."

After Liang Chongyue ascended the throne, Ping'an, as the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, even stood straighter than before.

Everything happened too fast after returning to the capital. The mountain of memorials piled up after her scumbag father became seriously ill had not been reviewed yet. Liang Chongyue raised her head and met Ping An's calm eyes, and she probably guessed why her mother was looking for her.

"Call the two uncles into the palace. I have something to tell you."

Ping An took his leave upon being told to leave. Liang Chongyue reviewed two more volumes of memorials piled up in front of him before getting up and leaving the Yangxin Palace.

The dragon sedan was already waiting outside. The queen mother liked the Zhaixing Tower in the Yiku Palace, so Liang Chongyue replaced the plaque of the Yiku Palace and changed its name to Cining Palace.

The Cining Palace, originally prepared for the Empress Dowager, was locked and no one was allowed to enter.

"The emperor is here."

When Ping'an was not around, it was Little Li who followed Liang Chongyue. The eunuch Little Li who used to keep watch outside the Yangxin Palace has now become the eunuch Li respected by everyone in the palace.

Liang Chongyue, dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, strode into the Cining Palace. Her mother was sitting in the hall waiting for her.

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother. How is your health today?"

As soon as Liang Chongyue knelt down, her mother reached out and pulled her up. Holding her hand, she pulled her to sit beside her as if she had returned to the past.

"The harem is now less crowded and has never been so peaceful. The Empress Dowager is in much better health these days."

When Aunt Chunchan walked in with a bowl of nourishing medicinal food, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes and eyebrows.

Her Majesty and His Majesty had finally reaped the rewards of their hard work. Whenever she recalled the days they had gone through, her heart trembled.

After Liang Chongyue ascended the throne, in order to avoid too many things, he immediately gave the concubines in the harem two ways out.

Either we go back to our own homes, or we go to keep vigil for our scumbag father.

Since she came to power, the status of women in Daxia has made a qualitative leap. It was she who personally ordered them to be sent back, so even some feudal remnants did not dare to act rashly.

Xiang Huayue was not in a good mood because the palace was quiet and less crowded. She had been living like this for so many years, and now the harem was completely empty, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

I was just thinking that Chongyue had finally gotten to that position after all the hard work, and I was happy for her.

Liang Chongyue stepped forward, took the medicinal soup from Aunt Chunchan's hand, and fed it to his mother personally.

Even Aunt Chunchan, who was standing by and watching, was moved by such a loving and filial scene.

After finishing the bowl of chicken soup, Aunt Chunchan left with the empty bowl. Liang Chongyue then picked up the teacup and waited to hear why her mother had called her here today.

"Now that the position of Queen is vacant, and you have a clear future, Mother will not urge you to have more children. However, do you have a candidate for the position of Queen?"

When Xiang Huayue said this, she carefully observed Chongyue's expression. These things were not her responsibility to worry about.

However, it has been ten days since Chongyue ascended the throne, and many officials in the court have been discussing this matter in private. Now the positions of the two concubines in the palace have not even been determined, which is really inappropriate.

When Liang Chongyue came, she guessed that her mother had called her over because of this matter. She was not in a hurry. After all, having Minglang as her child was enough. Men were just spice when her life was boring.

"Li Yu'an holds an official position, so it would be a waste of his talent to be in the harem. He Yanting has a good character, but he is too anxious and impatient. He should be given the title of Lord De."

Daxia had never had a female emperor. After Liang Chongyue ascended the throne, the positions in the harem naturally had to be redefined.

Super First Rank: King and Queen

First rank: Imperial Noble

Second rank: Jun

The third grade: Guiqing

Fourth rank: Imperial Minister

Fifth rank: Hua Qing

From the fifth rank: Shaojun

Sixth rank: Confucian monarch

The Confucian monarch is in the middle position and can live in a side hall of the palace.

From the sixth rank: Talented

Seventh rank: Selected concubines

"If Li Yu'an voluntarily gives up his position as Grand Tutor and enters my harem, I will naturally be willing to give him the title of Imperial Lord."

However, regardless of gender, Liang Chongyue was unwilling to force others to do anything. She had studied hard for decades, not to enter the palace and become a concubine.

In the past, Xiang Huayue naturally did not understand what Chongyue meant by this. Being able to enter the palace and become His Majesty's royal prince or even "queen" was naturally a matter of supreme honor.

Chongyue is so outstanding, how could anyone refuse?

But having spent half his life in this palace, Xiang Huayue had seen all kinds of dark and dirty things. He understood Chongyue's reluctance to force others to do things against their will, and he was also a little envious of those who were taken seriously and considered by Chongyue.

If the late emperor had considered her and Chongyue in this way, it is likely that the relationship between him and Chongyue would never have reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

"Then Minglang will eventually be included in the family tree. Under whose name will he be recorded?"

Xiang Huayue had always thought that Minglang was Chongyue and Li Yu'an's child. It was not until the child grew up and looked more and more like Feihe that she suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

"Minglang is my son's child, so naturally he is registered under my name. I will only have Minglang in this life, and the whole world will belong to her from now on. What does it matter who the father is?"

Liang Chongyue had already considered the matter of Minglang being included in the family tree.

"I will leave this matter to you, your Majesty, so don't worry."

Liang Chongyue doesn't like jealousy in the harem. She will only have one child, Minglang, but not just those few men.

Not only did she want to register Minglang under her name, she also wanted to announce to the world that she would only have Minglang as a child in her life.

She wanted to let those people stop worrying about it as soon as possible. She just wanted to feel more relaxed every time she entered the harem. She really didn't want to deal with those little matters between men.

Since Chongyue was five years old, no one has been able to make decisions for her. Although this matter is inappropriate, Xiang Huayue has nothing to say. As long as Chongyue is happy, it's fine.

"If you've made up your mind, then do it."

Seeing the fatigue in his mother's eyes, Liang Chongyue checked the mother's health monitoring report on the panel, which was not very good. There had been a lot of things going on in the past two years, and even his mother had to work hard with her.

It’s so infuriating to have such a scumbag father. Even after his death, he made my mother very sad.

"Then I will take my leave first. Mother, please rest for a while. There will be a family dinner at the Marquis' Mansion tonight. I will take you home."

Xiang Huayue looked at Chongyue's smiling eyes and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Liang Chongyue looked at his mother's trembling eyes and left the Cining Palace in a good mood.

On the way back to the Yangxin Palace, Liang Chongyue was sitting on the dragon chariot and caught a glimpse of several handsome guards. Liang Chongyue didn't care at first until he saw the patrolling guards coming by while passing through the imperial garden. In an instant, he realized that the guards he met on the road did it on purpose.

"Your Majesty, don't be upset. When the late emperor was alive, such things happened all the time. Everyone in the palace wanted to climb up the social ladder."

Eunuch Li noticed that the emperor looked unhappy and hurried forward to comfort him.

Liang Chongyue grew up in the palace and has seen many such things.

"Investigate them thoroughly. I don't want to see them again."

Eunuch Li responded readily without hearing His Majesty mention any punishment. His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and it would be unlucky to see blood in the palace.
