The little guy was holding a very gorgeous flower in his hand and stumbling towards the group. Princess Gaoyang was the first one who was reluctant to let him go. She stepped forward and picked up Minglang, holding him in her arms, cherishing him very much.

"Good boy, what a good boy! This flower is so beautiful, so beautiful."

Liang Chongyue sat aside and saw Minglang moving among the crowd in an experienced manner, kissing this one and hugging that one, very affectionate.

"Grandma also has something for Minglang. Someone, come and bring it in."

The person outside the door heard the order and came in carrying a large box.

"This is what grandma prepared for Minglang. There are nine more outside, but it's inconvenient to carry them in at once. I'll bring them all into the palace with Minglang later."

Princess Gaoyang held Minglang in her arms as she approached the big box. Ping'an had already opened the box and checked it. Only after confirming that everything was correct did he let the two of them approach.

Liang Chongyue glanced sideways into the box, and when Ping An moved aside, he saw the glittering golden objects inside. He covered his mouth with the teacup and smiled silently.

She had been receiving such gifts since she was a child. Every year, all the jewels her maternal grandparents collected from all over the place, no matter how rare they were, were made into jewelry and pendants. Half of them were sent to the palace and given to her and her mother, and the other half were distributed to the children in the family.

Now Minglang has grown up and is old enough to receive gifts.

Minglang has been living in the palace since he was born. Now that he is outside, he is curious about everything he sees.

One hand was around my grandmother's neck, and the other hand was pointing straight at the open box.

Approaching the box, Princess Gaoyang took out a pair of small gold bracelets inlaid with rare rubies and put them into Minglang's hands.

"Your Majesty also had a pair of gold bracelets like this in his time, so Minglang should have one too. Let's put them on."

Chunxiang had been waiting by the side. Upon hearing this, she stepped forward and helped put the gold bracelet on the little prince's hand.

Minglang smiled and shook the gold bracelet on her wrist. It was hot today, so she was wearing light clothes, which allowed the gold bracelet on her wrist to be exposed. The ruby on it was shining red. Children just like to look at eye-catching jewelry like this.

"Thank you, grandma."

Minglang put his arm around his grandmother's neck with the hand wearing a gold bracelet and gave her a wet kiss on the face.

If it were someone else, they would not dare to cling to this old ancestor like this, but today this person is the only offspring of the current emperor, the apple of the eye of the entire Daxia royal family.

Liang Chongyue looked at the lively scene. Minglang received so many gifts today that he was overwhelmed. His grandmother took out all the jewels in the box and asked Minglang which one he liked. She did not stop him. She also came here at this time.

Years ago, the Xiang family sent her and her mother's share to the palace. Minglang also received one at that time, but not many. Judging from the situation, after knowing Minglang's preferences, the gifts became too numerous to count.

Liang Chongyue supported his head and looked at the scene with gentle eyes. At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Chi Rong walked in from outside. He walked to Liang Chongyue's ear and whispered a few words.

Liang Chongyue looked out the window and saw that it was already getting late. She should take her mother and Minglang back to the palace. If she was any later, there would be more people at the door of Lanxu Pavilion.

"Minglang, come back to the palace with the Queen Mother. It's fun. The Queen Mother will take you out to play next time."

Minglang was standing among the female relatives, choosing their hearts. He was a little reluctant to hear this, but when he met the Queen Mother's expectant gaze, no matter how reluctant he was, he slowly walked towards the Queen Mother.

Upon seeing this, everyone put their jewellery back into the box and escorted His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the young prince to the door of the private room.

"Grandmother and my aunts, there's no need to send them off. I'll come back with my mother and Minglang in a few days."

The Duke of Dingguo's Mansion is the Queen Mother's maternal home, and it is also the place where the military power of Daxia is most concentrated. Unless there are people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, Liang Chongyue will never alienate the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.

Minglang got on the carriage back to the palace. Tired after a day of playing, he leaned in his mother's arms and fell asleep before he could say a word.

Liang Chongyue grabbed her little hand and carefully examined the ruby bracelet on her hand. Xiang Huayue saw this and nodded in agreement.

"After we return to the palace, have Chunxiang take people to count and inspect all the items in those boxes before putting them into storage."

Minglang is Chongyue's only child in this life, so it is not excessive to be cautious.

"Yes, the servant understands."

After Aunt Chunchan finished speaking, Minglang seemed to have heard something. He hummed in response and continued to sleep soundly.

Liang Chongyue hugged her tighter in his arms. The carriage did not stop after passing the Meridian Gate, but continued all the way to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It only stopped because it could not go any further due to the stone steps.

"Leave Minglang to the Queen Mother, and you should go back and get some rest."

Liang Chongyue moved sideways to block the Queen Mother's hand that was about to reach out to hug Minglang. Minglang was getting bigger and bigger, eating well and sleeping soundly every day, and his weight had also increased a lot. Afraid that the Queen Mother would be tired, and also worried that Minglang would cry after suddenly waking up, Liang Chongyue decided to send Minglang back to the Queen Mother personally.

"It's still early, I'll hold you."

Seeing her like this, Xiang Huayue withdrew her hand. She had been worried that Minglang had not lived with his biological mother since he was born, and that there would be a gap and a lack of closeness between them. Now it seemed that she had been worrying for nothing.

After sending Minglang to his mother's palace, Liang Chongyue held Minglang and coaxed her softly for a while before putting Minglang down. He slowly changed her dirty clothes and wiped her hands and feet. Looking at Minglang's smiling face while she was sleeping, Liang Chongyue became more and more reluctant to leave. Only after Minglang fell asleep did he get up and say goodbye to his mother.

After leaving the Cining Palace, Liang Chongyue stood on the palace road. Yun Ling beside him asked at the right time:

"This place is not far from Kunning Palace where the Queen resides. Your Majesty, please go and see the Queen."

At this time, the sky was still far from being filled with sunset glow. Liang Chongyue thought for a moment and shook his head:

"Return to the Yangxin Palace and tell the Queen that I will be there tonight."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After Yun Ling left, Liang Chongyue brought her people back to the Yangxin Palace. Chi Rong returned to the Yangxin Palace first. The tea and snacks were already prepared, and she served them as soon as she came back.

"Okay, all of you, please step aside."

After Ping'an and the other palace maids retreated, Chi Rong walked out from behind the screen outside.

"Your Majesty, officials in various prefectures and counties near Qizhou, after Luo Yuwei confessed everything in the Ministry of Justice prison, attempted to bribe the jailers there and find a time to kill Luo Yuwei. This was reported by the Jade Guards throughout Daxia."

Liang Chongyue took the note handed to him by Chi Rong, which clearly stated the names and positions of the officials who had ideas. After reading it, Liang Chongyue threw the note on the dragon table, and tapped his fingers irregularly on the armrest, making crisp sounds.
