"Your Majesty, I will assist you in bathing and changing your clothes."

Kunning Palace was the residence of empresses of all dynasties. In order to maintain the empress's dignity and virtue, there was originally no large bathing pool. Because Li Yu'an liked it, Liang Chongyue casually suggested during the renovation of Kunning Palace that a bathing pool be expanded into a side hall.

Liang Chongyue reeked of alcohol, and when he got close to Li Yu'an, he could immediately smell the soothing masculine scent on him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Queen."

Liang Chongyue followed Li Yu'an to the bathhouse in the side hall. There was hot steam inside and the man next to her was flirting. The warm steam wet the dragon robe she had not taken off yet. Li Yu'an kindly came forward to help her change clothes.

Soaking in the hot water, Liang Chongyue was enjoying it with her eyes closed. Following the direction of the petals spreading on the water surface, Li Yu'an emerged from the water. Her thick black hair was wet by the water, and a strand of black hair stood on her delicate profile.

"His Majesty."

Li Yu'an called her softly, with a rare coquettish look. Liang Chongyue should have been very surprised, but she subconsciously thought of someone.

It wasn't until a passionate kiss came over her that Liang Chongyue came back to her senses.

After the kiss ended, Liang Chongyue met a pair of fiery eyes.

"Tonight is short. How long will the Queen continue to watch over me?"

The sound of water covered the two people's breathing. Outside, red silk fluttered in the evening breeze. Only a black figure on the beam in the distance could not bear it anymore and turned away.

The next morning, when Liang Chongyue woke up, Li Yu'an was already dressed and waiting by the bed.

"Why are you up so early? You and Yan Ting are the only concubines in the harem. You can sleep a little longer."

Liang Chongyue got up as she spoke, and Li Yu'an helped her get dressed while taking over Yun Ling's job and helping her wash up himself.

"I'm used to it every day. It's my honor to serve Your Majesty."

Li Yu'an had done something like this before, but at that time they both had to go to court, so Li Yu'an would get up early, wash up, and wait by the side.

Serving her like this seemed to be a habit he developed after entering the Princess's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Take a nap. I will take you to pay your respects to the Queen Mother after I leave the court."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she habitually patted the back of Li Yuan's hand as he tied her belt.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she began to use makeup to cover up the marks on her neck as if she had already gotten used to it.

Li Yu'an was quite restrained last night and it wasn't difficult to cover up.

When sitting in the sedan chair going to court, Liang Chongyue glanced to the side inadvertently. Why did he feel that Fei He was a little listless? Did he not sleep well last night and went out to steal?

After thinking for a moment, Liang Chongyue recalled that he was too busy yesterday and had not finished reviewing the memorials, and his thoughts quickly shifted away from Fei He.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, listening to Ping'an's slightly shrill voice, Liang Chongyue quietly waited for the ministers below to come and report.

"I congratulate Your Majesty on the appointment of the Empress. Your Highness, the Queen, is renowned for her virtue and will surely assist Your Majesty in ensuring the eternal stability of our dynasty, the peace and prosperity of our people, and the prosperity and long-lasting blessings of our nation."

Prime Minister Jiang was the first to come out. As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers below followed suit and congratulated him.

"Old Prime Minister Jiang is thoughtful, and all of you dear ministers are thoughtful too. Everyone, please stand up."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he waited for a while, but no other court officials came to report.

"Since all my dear ministers have nothing to do, let's adjourn the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This was the first time Liang Chongyue's court session ended so quickly after she became emperor. She had just stood up from the dragon throne when all the court officials knelt down to see her off.

The morning court ended too early. Liang Chongyue sat in the sedan chair and glanced at the situation in the Cining Palace on the panel.

The Queen Mother hasn't woken up yet, and Minglang is sleeping soundly. That's good, I'll go over later.

"Go and tell the Queen that I will be there later and go back to the Yangxin Palace first."

The sedan chair turned around and arrived at the Yangxin Palace. Liang Chongyue began to review the memorials without a moment's rest.

Among them, several memorials sent to the northern border, Guanzhong, and border areas were deliberately put aside.

Liang Chongyue sat down and opened the memorials. The first sentences of two of the three memorials were all congratulations on the enthronement of the Empress. After a few auspicious words, they began to return to the main point.

The northern border is too far away from the capital. This memorial was sent at the beginning of last month using the best-trained and fastest carrier eagle. Fortunately, the situation in the northern border is still good.

Most of the old emperor's subordinates and the escaped royal family have been captured. Counting the days, the two uncles should arrive in the northern border next month.

With two uncles in charge, the North should be able to settle down soon.

The three memorials were all written by the trusted subordinates cultivated by Liang Chongyue and his grandfather over the years. They did not report good news but not bad news, nor did they seek credit for themselves. They also did not exaggerate the difficulties and ask for support from the court.

Everything is stated objectively. There are difficulties, but I think they will be resolved by the time the next memorial is delivered.

After reading the three memorials, Liang Chongyue pondered for a moment and began to write a reply. He wrote down all the solutions to the problems and the measures that would benefit the people. He wrote down all the information that Liang Chongyue had thought of and found.

She put the rest of the memorials aside, and half an hour passed just writing the replies to these three memorials.

Liang Chongyue deliberately controlled his writing, kept things short, and used the most concise words to describe the most important things, ensuring that everything was written within the delivery range of the Express Eagle.

After writing the reply letter, she put it into a small white jade porcelain bottle with her unique symbol, and marked it on each one.

"Send them out using the carrier eagle according to the markings above."

Ping'an quickly stepped forward, took the three porcelain pieces from His Majesty's dragon table, and retreated respectfully.

Liang Chongyue watched his back as he left, and caught a glimpse of the bright weather outside. Only then did she realize that so much time had passed.

"What time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, it is already six quarters past noon."

In another quarter of an hour it would be Si time. Liang Chongyue thought his mother had finished dressing up, so he put down the memorial on the table that he had not reviewed yet and stood up.

"Go to Kunning Palace."

The sedan chair was not fast enough, and after sitting on the dragon throne for half an hour, Liang Chongyue wanted to take a walk.

It just so happens that the weather is sunny and the air is fresh today. After taking a walk, I feel much more comfortable.

Arriving at Kunning Palace, Liang Chongyue had just stepped into the courtyard when she saw Li Yu'an, who had packed up, walking towards her.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed."

Li Yu'an has always been a man of rules. Looking at his expression, you can tell that the time is almost up and he can't sit still any longer.

"Hurry up and get up. I'll take you to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. I think Minglang should be awake by now."

Li Yu'an originally wanted to walk behind His Majesty, but when he saw His Majesty extending his hand towards him, he happily grabbed it and followed.

There are many people in the palace who change their minds according to the situation. Now, there are only two concubines in His Majesty's harem, and they have been with him since he was in the palace. Especially seeing how much His Majesty dotes on the queen, everyone in the palace knows what is going on.

The news that His Majesty favors the King and Queen will spread out of the palace in a few days, and those court officials who want to send their children to the palace will have an extra measure in their hearts.
