The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 576 Family Banquet
When I returned to the Yangxin Palace, my two uncles had already arrived.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
"Everyone, please stand up. I have summoned you here today to give you important instructions."
Ping An had already served the tea. Liang Chongyue's habit had not changed over the years. After taking a sip of milk tea, Ping An led his men away before speaking:
"Now that the situation has been resolved, I hope my two uncles can stay in the capital and spend time with their families. However, I will not be able to rest easy as long as there is no one left to defend the northern border."
The northern border had only been conquered for less than a year, and it was a time of turmoil. She could not be completely at ease because the impoverished royal family who fled in the chaos that day had not yet been completely eliminated.
The Northern Royal Family is the most ruthless and cruel people, and they are also involved in more than a dozen underground mines. If there is no trustworthy person to guard them, the North will sooner or later be in chaos.
The Xiang Huayan brothers looked at each other, and His Majesty's words had already made it clear.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. After tonight's family dinner, I will personally head to the northern border to protect the Great Xia Empire for Your Majesty."
My uncle is not a person who likes to flatter others. Liang Chongyue can hear that his words are full of sincerity.
"I'm relieved to hear your words, uncle. I've already written an imperial decree to restore my grandfather's title of Duke of Dingguo. Ah Zheng is also of marriageable age, so it's up to her to decide what kind of husband she likes."
In the past, when a new king came to power, in order to balance the relationship between new and old ministers, the most reliable and common method was to marry off children of the right age from the mother's side.
Among the four uncles, only two are married, and Azheng is the only child of marriageable age among the direct descendants.
Liang Chongyue has been very busy recently, but she also heard that her aunt was anxious and angry about this matter. However, she also knew that this was an old habit, so she did not dare to go into the palace and talk to her too much.
Xiang Huayan often heard his wife talking about A Zheng's marriage in his ears recently. The Xiang family has been loyal to His Majesty for generations. If His Majesty needs them, the Xiang family will never refuse.
Even Ah Zheng herself was open-minded and said frankly:
"Even if His Majesty were to arrange a marriage for her, it would not be done casually. Only the best man in Daxia could catch His Majesty's eye."
Now that Your Majesty has said this, Azheng can decide her own marriage.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
As Xiang Huayan said this, he was about to kneel down to thank the emperor, but Liang Chongyue raised his hand to stop him.
Even though A Zheng was not familiar with her, she would not force others to marry. If she really wanted to arrange a marriage, it would be more convenient to take her directly into the harem and have it happen under her nose.
You can be a proton and have fun, so why not?
"If Ah Zheng doesn't have a man she likes right now, when my mother selects a concubine for me later, I'll have my aunt bring Ah Zheng to the palace. A girl from the Xiang family having three husbands and four servants won't be a big deal."
Xiang Huayan looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. Although the future marriages in Daxia would be different now that His Majesty was on the throne, he never thought it would happen so soon.
Xiang Huating sat next to his eldest brother and laughed out loud when he saw his eldest brother's awkward response.
"Your Majesty is right. It's not a problem for a girl from the Xiang family to have three husbands and four servants."
Since women can have three husbands and four mistresses just like men in the future, the girls of the Xiang family naturally don't have to stick to the old rules anymore.
Second uncle was open-minded about everything. Liang Chongyue's eyes fell on the navy blue sachet tied by second uncle, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled at him.
Seeing that my second uncle didn't say much and smiled frankly, it seemed that the iron tree had also blossomed.
Liang Chongyue chatted with his two uncles about the situation in the capital and Guanzhong, and then saw them off.
Liang Chongyue began to review memorials without a moment's rest. His scumbag father had been seriously ill for half a year, and the accumulated matters could fill the entire Yangxin Palace.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened and Ping An stepped forward to remind him that Liang Chongyue closed the memorial in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready and can depart at any time."
"Go get my mother first so I can change my clothes."
The bright yellow casual clothes did give off a sense of oppression. Her grandfather and four uncles played an indispensable role in her succession battle.
The Xiang family is not the kind of family that doesn't know the rules. There's no need to be too formal at a family dinner.
Liang Chongyue changed into a bright gilded brocade robe embroidered with phoenixes. Yun Ling was skillful and could even make the simplest bun look luxurious and elegant by embellishing it with a few gold hairpins.
Liang Chongyue had just finished packing when her mother came with Minglang.
After not seeing each other for a year, the little guy was not shy with her. As soon as Liang Chongyue stretched out her hand, he smiled and hummed in Aunt Chunchan's arms.
"Grandpa and grandma have never met Minglang. Bringing her there today will surely make the house very lively."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Huayue recalled that Chongyue was far away in Guanzhong and the situation in the capital was tense. She locked herself and Minglang in the Yiku Palace, and her father and mother also stayed indoors.
The entire Xiang family tried their best to avoid disputes with the outside world and avoided everyone.
"Yes, the house will be very lively tonight."
When Liang Chongyue was teasing Minglang, she caught a glimpse of the nostalgia in her mother's eyes. After entering the palace for many years, the only time her mother left the palace was to take care of her, and she was not even allowed to let others know.
I guess my grandparents want to see my mother more than Minglang.
"The carriage is ready. Please come first, mother."
Liang Chongyue made a gesture of invitation to the Queen Mother, pulling her thoughts away from her sadness. He talked and laughed with her as he got into the carriage and took her out of the palace in a blatant manner.
The carriages in the palace are easy to recognize, as they all have specific styles. Liang Chongyue was not planning to hide them, and it was not shameful for his mother to return home.
The feudal rules of the past no longer existed since she ascended the throne.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, which had just had its plaque replaced. As soon as he got off the carriage, a group of people knelt at the gate.
"Your Highness, I, your humble servant, bow to Your Majesty. May Your Highness live long and long. I bow to Your Majesty, Your Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand years."
Liang Chongyue reached out and helped his mother down from the carriage. His mother's eyes were already filled with tears. Liang Chongyue said nothing more. He patted the back of his mother's hand a few times and said to the people kneeling at the gate of the mansion:
"Stand up, there's no need to be so restrained since this is a family dinner."
As soon as His Majesty said this, the tense atmosphere outside the Duke Dingguo's Mansion suddenly dissipated a lot, and Liang Chongyue was surrounded by his grandfather and several uncles and walked into the mansion.
The Queen Mother and Minglang were already surrounded by her grandmother and two aunts, so now that she didn't have to worry about anything.
Today's family dinner has men and women sitting together. In order to prevent the smell of alcohol from spreading and making the children uncomfortable, a screen is used to separate them.
After sitting down, Liang Chongyue saw that his grandfather had a ruddy face, but his eyes were slightly red. He looked at the screen from time to time, as if he wanted to take a few more glances at his mother through the screen.
"Let's eat. It's been a while since I've tasted my grandmother's cooking."
In the past, whenever Liang Chongyue came back, her grandmother would always cook for her herself. After eating so much, she could tell at a glance that the dishes were made by her grandmother and aunt.
After Ping An tested the poison with a silver needle and confirmed that it was correct, Liang Chongyue took a few sips and found that everything tasted the same as before.
