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

Listening to A Zheng's complaints, Liang Chongyue frowned slightly. Her uncle was sent to the northern border by her. Has he learned all the morals and etiquette of the men in the capital?

Liang Chongyue was just thinking when the puppy behind him suddenly burped. He had never heard it burp before. Liang Chongyue was surprised, and when he looked over, he saw that the system had already started eating again.

It turns out that in the system, nothing is more important than eating.

"I understand. Go back and wait. Tomorrow there will be new laws to check and balance them."

The success of the imperial examination does not represent their character. Officials are all corrupt, and the capital is the center of power. Liang Chongyue thought about A Zheng's age. In other words, if she had not succeeded to the throne and raised the status of women, A Zheng would at least have been engaged by now.

"Thank you, cousin. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

After A Zheng finished speaking, all the dishes were served. Liang Chongyue took A Zheng's words to heart and hoped that in the near future, all the women of Da Xia would be able to stand up bravely because of her.

"I'm here to test the poison for my cousin."

A Zheng took off the silver hairpin from her head, stood up, boiled her food with tea several times, and then tried all the delicious dishes on the table.

"Okay, cousin, let's eat."

Xiang Zheng served the dishes to her cousin and placed all the dishes she thought were delicious in front of her.

Ever since my cousin became emperor, she has rarely had time to leave the palace. Fortunately, they met today, otherwise I don’t know when I will see my cousin again.

"it is good."

With A Zheng around, Liang Chongyue was always surrounded by laughter. Listening to her telling interesting stories about the capital and the border, Liang Chongyue felt like he had experienced it all just by listening. Some people just have the ability to make people feel like they are there.

Liang Chongyue was listening when a huge dog head suddenly popped out from beside him. The puppy had already wiped its mouth and walked over, putting its head on the table, quietly listening to A Zheng's story. When it heard the exciting parts, its little green eyes widened.

"So the girl downstairs is the Lian'er you mentioned?"

While Liang Chongyue was speaking, his empty left hand had already touched the system's head. Due to the tacit understanding they had developed over the years, the system immediately knew that the host wanted it to check on someone again.

"That's right. Lian'er's surname is Qu. She is the youngest daughter of the Qu family, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. Although she is a concubine's daughter, the Qu family's harem is peaceful. Lian'er is a talented and intelligent woman. I have known her since she was very young, and we hit it off right away."

Liang Chongyue recalled that she seemed to have heard that A Zheng had a good friend outside the palace named Lian'er.

"Then I'm sorry for delaying your reunion today."

Although Liang Chongyue was smiling and joking with A Zheng, he was thinking about the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Commander Qu. He was already fifty years old, and the years had left deep and shallow wrinkles on his face, but his aura was as strong as ever.

When she was practicing in the martial arts training ground, Deputy Commander Qu was not yet the deputy commander at that time. When he led his team to patrol the martial arts training ground, if he saw that she did something wrong while practicing alone, he would go up to her and teach her carefully.

Her martial arts skills were not acquired overnight. Taking medicine could only replenish her energy and blood, but she had to rely on herself for the rest.

"Deputy Commander Qu is a humble man. I think it's a good thing that his daughter and A Zheng hit it off right away. Since she's talented, why not persuade her to participate in next year's Spring Examination? I'm currently recruiting talented people, so this is a great opportunity."

In the capital, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear, and few people don't care.

If a girl born out of wedlock could earn fame and fortune on her own and spread the news, it would certainly be very inspiring.

Hearing about the Spring Examination, Xiang Zheng's eyes showed a little loneliness. It seemed that she was a person who could not hide things. Liang Chongyue noticed it at a glance, but if Xiang Zheng didn't say it, she would not ask.

Xiang Zheng hesitated for a long time, during which time she changed the subject and talked to her cousin about many other things. The atmosphere in the private room became cheerful again.

When Liang Chongyue was about to finish eating, she noticed the hesitation in Azheng's eyes. It started from when she mentioned the Spring Examination. Azheng's future was supported by her and the Xiang family, so she never had to worry about these things.

In the past, the marriage that bothered her the most was decided by her, and it was up to her. Liang Chongyue probably knew who she was worried about, but if A Zheng didn't say it, Liang Chongyue wouldn't ask.

She is not a savior and will never take the initiative to interfere with the cause and effect of others. Everyone has their own destiny. She can only give choices but cannot interfere too much.

Looking at the beautiful sunset outside, which dyed the entire sky red, Liang Chongyue rinsed his mouth with tea, stood up, and said to A Zheng:

"I've been out for a while now, and I still have to go to the Ministry of Justice to see Yan Renzheng, so I'll leave first."

"I'm sending my cousin off."

Liang Chongyue still covered her face with a veil, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

A Zheng sent her to the downstairs of Wangjiang Tower. The system had already been taken out from the back door by the maid beside A Zheng. When Liang Chongyue left Wangjiang Tower, the Xiang family's carriage was already waiting there, and the system's huge dog head emerged from it.

"The place my cousin is going to is a bit far from Wangjiang Tower. Let's take a carriage. It will save time."

The system has already sat in the carriage, and its furry ears appear from time to time, and move with the wind when it blows.

"A Zheng is thoughtful."

Liang Chongyue got on the carriage. The driver was a servant from the Xiang family. He had already told Liang Chongyue where to go, so he didn't need to say anything. As soon as Liang Chongyue sat down, the carriage started moving.

"Host, I have finished checking what you asked me to check. Please take a look."

The panel was opened, and Liang Chongyue looked at the information on it. Ever since the last incident, the system has been checking information more carefully, and any problematic areas will be marked with other colors. Liang Chongyue had nothing to do while sitting in the carriage, so he quietly read the information about Qu Lian'er.

No wonder A Zheng hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything in the end.

Qu Lian'er had a childhood engagement. The man was about the same age as her and had just passed the imperial examination last year. He was a good match for her in terms of family background and ability. However, the stepmother was the head of the household and the rules were very strict. It seemed that once she got married, she would have to endure the harassment of the stepmother for several years, let alone take part in the Spring Imperial Examination.

"Host, women in ancient times were truly pitiful. They obeyed their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. If either their father or their husband was unkind, their life would be ruined, and they would have no choice but to count the days and endure the misery."

The system smacked its lips, as if it was still savoring the taste of the meal. Liang Chongyue turned off the panel and leaned against the wall of the carriage in deep thought.
