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

When Minglang turned around and saw the Queen Mother, he didn't care about the sweat on his forehead and threw himself into the Queen Mother's arms.

Holding the petite body in his arms, Liang Chongyue could still smell the unique childish scent on Minglang, which was warm and reassuring.

"Mother, Queen Mother."

Minglang in her arms finally called her out after stumbling over his words. Liang Chongyue immediately smiled and hugged Minglang even tighter.

"The Queen Mother is here, Minglang is awesome."

Holding Minglang in his arms, Liang Chongyue sat on the stone bench in the imperial garden, wiped the sweat from her forehead, put his hand into the back of Minglang's neck, and felt the sweat-soaked clothes on the back of Minglang's neck. Liang Chongyue picked up Minglang and prepared to return to the Cining Palace first.

"Mother, Minglang's back is covered in sweat. I will take her back to change her clothes first."

Xiang Huayue saw this scene and saw the tenderness with a hint of worry in Chongyue's eyes. This heartwarming scene of three generations living under the same roof warmed her heart.

"The sun is getting high. Mother will go back with you. Yan Ting should come too."

Xiang Huayue noticed Dejun being ignored by Chongyue. Seeing him standing alone with a lonely look, she couldn't bear it and reminded him.

Liang Chongyue turned around while holding Minglang, and met He Yanying's expectant gaze:

"Yan Ting is tired too, go back first. I will have dinner with you tonight."

Hearing this, He Yanting's eyes, which had been dejected just now, instantly brightened up, and he quickly responded:

"I will go back and prepare. I will take my leave first. Mother, I will take my leave first."

Xiang Huayue stood between the two of them. Seeing He Yanting's surprised and flustered look, she smiled silently, looking really childish.

Liang Chongyue carried Minglang in her arms all the way, walked beside her mother, and returned to the Cining Palace.

Minglang held her neck all the way and rested his head on her chest. He was very well behaved. When they arrived at the Cining Palace, they saw that everyone was about to fall asleep.

"Wake up Minglang and change your clothes before going to sleep. Queen Mother will change them for you, okay?"

Liang Chongyue brought Minglang into the inner hall. Aunt Chunxiang, who was serving them, was already waiting by the side with a basin of water for washing hands.

The palace maid following behind was holding a basin of water and a towel for the little prince to wipe his body. Liang Chongyue personally changed Minglang's clothes.

After basking in the sun outside for a quarter of an hour, Minglang was already drowsy and about to fall asleep on the way back. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the Queen Mother beside him, he completely relaxed. No matter how Liang Chongyue coaxed him, he fell asleep directly.

By the time Liang Chongyue changed Minglang's clothes, Minglang had already fallen asleep with his head resting on her palm.

"The little princess is asleep, so change her into a lighter nightgown first. The rest can be put on her after she wakes up."

"Yes, the servants understand."

Since Minglang was born, the Queen Mother sent Aunt Chunxiang to take care of him personally. With her watching over him, Liang Chongyue felt very relieved.

Liang Chongyue sat by the bed, waiting for Minglang to fall asleep, and stayed with her for a while before getting up and leaving the inner hall.

"Minglang is asleep, Chongyue is here to talk to mother."

Minglang has been with Xiang Huayue since he was a child, and she knows the child's living habits very well.

Liang Chongyue sat next to his mother. Milk tea was already prepared on the table. The fragrant milk could make people feel better just by smelling it.

"Minglang is older now, and the situation in the court is gradually stabilizing. Do you want to add more people to your harem?"

Liang Chongyue had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this. He looked up at his mother and saw her frank gaze. He probably guessed what she meant.

"Your Majesty, do you mean you've already chosen someone? But I swore an oath long ago in the ancestral temple that I would only have one child, Minglang. Having so many concubines entering the palace would inevitably cause a lot of noise."

The main reason is that Liang Chongyue does not feel that the current court is very stable. She still has a lot of things to deal with, and the remnants of the old emperor in the northern border have not been eliminated.

There was a shortage of people in the court, and she didn't even have anyone to supervise the spring examinations. She didn't know why those men didn't take advantage of this great opportunity to take the imperial examinations, get their names on the list, and repay their parents, but instead just wanted to enter the palace and enjoy life.

Not striving for progress.

"There are a few candidates. Since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must select concubines as soon as possible to fill the harem. Queen Mother will not force you to have children. Your body is your own. But there must be more caring people in the harem so that you can relax when you are tired."

The Queen Mother's words were so ambiguous that Liang Chongyue wanted to laugh.

"It is Queen Mother who should be the ruler of the world. It is truly unfair for me to be trapped in the harem."

With such an open mind, it is really unfair that she has been trapped in one man for the first half of her life.

"I have already arranged your itinerary after leaving the palace. If you meet someone suitable along the way, you can keep them. As long as they don't give me any brothers or sisters, I just hope that you are happy."

When Liang Chongyue said this, her eyes were determined. She really didn't care if her mother found a new love after leaving the palace.

In the past, as long as a man’s wife was still alive, he could have countless concubines. When his scumbag father was still alive, the harem would be full.

Now that her scumbag father is dead and she has succeeded to the throne, the world naturally belongs to them, a big woman. What's wrong with finding a man to have fun with?

"Don't tease your mother with such things. You are different from her. In this life, she is your father's woman, and in death, she is his ghost. If you really do anything to let your father down, the Xiang family will be disgraced."

"You deserve to succeed the throne. Although your mother doesn't want you to be as obsessed with the harem as your father, it would be great if there were more talented people in the harem."

Liang Chongyue sat beside his mother, listening quietly to what she said. Seeing that her mother looked calm, she took out a few scrolls from the side and placed them on the small table.

"These are all found by the Queen Mother for you. Take a look. Do you like any of them?"

Liang Chongyue looked at the familiar scroll. It was the same scroll when her mother arranged people for her in the past.

"As long as your Majesty sees fit, that's fine. However, the Spring Examination is approaching next year, and talented men are eager to pursue their dreams. It wouldn't be too late to wait until the Spring Examination is over before selecting the candidates."

Rather than having more people in the harem, Liang Chongyue would rather have more people in the court. The court is really short of people now.

Xiang Huayue paused as she was about to open the scroll, having anticipated Chongyue's reaction, but she still opened it.

"Mother, I understand what you mean. However, there are very few who pass the imperial examination at such a young age. It would be helpful to take a look at these people first. They are all well-educated. Although they may not be as accomplished as you, they can still be a good conversation for you."

Liang Chongyue glanced at his mother and saw that she was very satisfied with the people in these scrolls. It seemed that they had been carefully selected. It seemed that it would be difficult for them to pass the imperial examination next spring.
