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

After the Eight Banners Guards performing on the ice of Beihai took their positions, the drum sounds suddenly changed, and everyone instantly dispersed outside. The ice skates drew complex and intricate tracks on the ice, and finally formed a pattern of hundreds of flowers, with a huge Chinese character "Fu" in the middle of the flowers.

"This ice painting by Queen Mother is so beautiful."

Minglang stared at the ice paintings on the ice surface with his eyes, which were very novel.

The guard who had just drawn the word "Fu" stopped at the edge of the ice painting. The leader led everyone towards the viewing platform and knelt in unison.

"Ice is the jade field, jade is the dust.

Nature brings newness to the cold winter.

May this blessing be presented to the Holy Lord,

The vast mountains and rivers are filled with spring all year round."

"May your majesty's blessings be as long-lasting as the waters of the North Sea, and your holy body as healthy as the pines of the Southern Mountains; may the prosperity of our Great Xia nation be everlasting, like this character for "Fu" on the ice—upright and everlasting, and filled with blessings."

The congratulatory voices of the Eight Banners guards resounded throughout the North Sea. The ice painting, which was originally just a novelty, felt different after being given full blessings.

Liang Chongyue sat high on the viewing platform, enjoying the fun with the people today. Her hair, simply tied up high, moved in the wind, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, making her look indescribably carefree and unrestrained.

"reward."

Liang Chongyue raised his hand to signal Ping An who was waiting on the side, and asked him to take note of it.

Today is the North Sea Ice Skating Ceremony. When Ping An came out, he was ready for His Majesty's reward. After receiving His Majesty's signal, he turned around and made a record in the book held by the eunuch beside him.

The rewards that Your Majesty has not stated clearly all have a fixed number. Only when Your Majesty specifically instructs us to do so do we need to record the number of rewards.

After Ping'an made the record, changes occurred on the ice again. The guards performed various difficult movements around the huge word "Fu".

Several guards suddenly accelerated, jumped up at the same time when they were about to collide, crossed each other in the air, and then landed steadily.

This is not a difficult task on flat ground, but on this not very smooth ice surface, a small mistake can ruin the previously high atmosphere.

These guards train hard throughout the year and only have the opportunity to practice on the ice after winter.

This year, due to the presence of all nations, the ice skating ceremony in Beihai was held earlier. However, seeing these difficult movements being performed one by one, it is not achieved overnight, which shows the hard work that is put in every day.

Liang Chongyue saw that Minglang was happy, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he looked at the ice.

The performances on the ice changed again and again, and loud cheers continued to come from the tents on both sides of the North Sea.

As the performance reached its climax, a team of guards in silver armor slid to the center of the ice. Suddenly, they took off their outer robes at the same time, revealing golden dragon patterns on their backs. These golden dragon patterns were tattooed with special techniques. The reflective ice surface in the sunlight made these people look like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

"I know, this is Longteng Jiuxiao."

Minglang jumped excitedly on the dragon throne and almost knocked over the pastries on the table next to him. Liang Chongyue could only smile helplessly and hold him down in his seat.

"Just sit back and watch the show."

Liang Chongyue did not restrain the children and let them release themselves, but it was still a bit cold on both sides of the Beihai Sea. Minglang was so excited that he sweated, and he was afraid that he would still feel cold if the cold wind blew.

Minglang also knew that she was a little excited just now, but "Dragon Soaring into the Sky" was the interesting story that she remembered most clearly among the stories told to her by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager also said that the dragon patterns on the backs of these guards had to be branded with irons during the time of their ancestor. It was not until the time of the Emperor's grandfather that palace painters were sent to paint them before the Ice Skating Ceremony to save them from the pain of the branding irons.

Minglang sat down obediently, waiting to see the dragon soar into the sky. Suddenly, a crisp sound startled everyone on both sides of the strait.

A crack appeared on the ice surface, running through it, and along with the exclamations of officials on both sides, the crack continued to spread to both sides.

"Arrange the Imperial Guards to evacuate everyone."

After Liang Chongyue finished giving the instructions, he immediately handed Minglang to his mother's arms.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking Minglang away from here first."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue turned and looked at Li Yuan.

"Take them with you."

Just at this moment, my grandfather also came over from the tent next door. Liang Chongyue entrusted the person to my grandfather with confidence, and my grandfather led the imperial guards to escort the person away from this place.

The viewing platform, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became deserted, and all that could be heard were the frightened cries of the officials' families.

Liang Chongyue looked at the cracked ice surface. The guards performing on it had all fled to the two banks. When everyone was busy running, she was the only one who noticed the human figure vaguely emerging from under the ice.

There's more than one.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to investigate."

Fei He's voice came, Liang Chongyue looked back, Yun Ling and Ping An escorted Ming Lang and the Queen Mother away from here, now only she and Fei He were left in the entire viewing platform.

"Puppy, go find out who's causing trouble."

"receive."

The Beihai Ice Skating Festival is a must-see event at this time of year. The park is closed at the beginning of winter to salvage impurities under the water surface to ensure the purity of the ice surface.

So when was the dirty stuff under the ice sent in? Liang Chongyue's eyes were dark and unclear. He turned around and sat back on the dragon throne. He picked up the plate of pastries that Minglang had just liked to eat and slowly started to eat it.

Waiting for all the people who came to watch the ice skating to leave, and waiting for the North Sea to return to calm.

Seeing that His Majesty was so calm, Fei He quietly walked to His Majesty's side and stood there, waiting for the outcome of this matter with His Majesty.

Chi Rong, who was standing below evacuating the crowd, saw this scene. He followed His Majesty's gaze towards the ice surface and instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.

The speed of evacuating officials was accelerated, and after everyone was evacuated, the manager of Beihai was escorted to His Majesty.

Everyone was evacuated before the ice completely cracked. There was a circle of imperial guards guarding the Beihai Garden, and no one dared to peek inside.

"Your Majesty, I failed in my duty and failed to measure the thickness of the ice properly. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

The deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, who was being forced by Chi Rong to kneel in front of Liang Chongyue, looked even paler than the cracked ice. Liang Chongyue glanced at him and asked Chi Rong to take him away.

"This ice crack is no accident. Think carefully about who did it. I will give you a chance to atone for your crime."

Upon hearing this, the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department looked up with his eyes lighting up, but then quickly dimmed.

There are dozens of workers who come to polish the ice of the North Sea every day. It is impossible for him to slander anyone to deceive Your Majesty. No one can lie in front of Your Majesty.

If he really did this, it would not only be a death sentence, but his entire clan would be in danger.

"Yes, I will try my best to recall and find the real culprit for Your Majesty."

When people were taken away by Chi Rong for interrogation, they lacked confidence when speaking.
