Xiang Jinsong followed His Majesty all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Now that the court was stable and peaceful, he had not come here to report government affairs to His Majesty for some time. He did not expect that the dragon table in the outer hall was surrounded by memorials, almost surrounding the dragon table.

"Your Majesty should be diligent in your work, but you should also take care of your health."

Liang Chongyue followed her grandfather's gaze towards the pile of things, responded, and then shifted her gaze. Looking at these things in recent days really made her dizzy. She was only in her twenties, so she couldn't be old.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year, and you've been vigorously implementing new policies. There are reports of success from all over Daxia. You'll be busy for a while before the New Year."

Having said that, Xiang Jinsong still felt a little distressed. It has not been easy for His Majesty to come this far.

After Yunling finished serving tea, Liang Chongyue drank tea while discussing military affairs with his grandfather.

"Your Majesty, most of the Xiang army is now in the northern border. The northern border seems to be stable, but there are still snakes and rats causing trouble. We have used medicine, but they still can't be completely killed. I wonder if it will be better after the spring."

The old emperor of the northern border was previously obsessed with health preservation, and wanted to refine the elixir of immortality. Later, he became obsessed with this matter and turned his attention to those highly poisonous little beasts. The seemingly gorgeous palace compound was full of poisonous creatures hidden underground.

"Now that we've used the medicine, I think we can deal with those ignorant snakes and rats once spring comes."

Liang Chongyue was not only talking about the snakes and rats in the Northern Territory Palace, but also the Northern Territory royal family who were as snake-like as rats. Although the old emperor was dead, there were still some skilled poisoners among these people. If these people were not eliminated, they would sooner or later become a disaster.

After chatting with her grandfather about some military affairs, Liang Chongyue had not yet finished her government affairs. When her grandfather was about to get up and leave, she glanced at the memorial placed beside her and remembered something.

"I remember that the Xiang family has a child of Minglang's age. Would you be willing to send him to the palace to accompany Minglang in his studies?"

Xiang Jinsong had already stood up and looked at His Majesty when he heard this. Although His Majesty had not yet appointed Minglang as the Crown Princess, it was a matter of time. His Majesty's words and deeds were telling the people of the world that as long as Minglang grew up safely, the future of Daxia would belong to her.

"Of course there are children of the same age as the little prince. If they can accompany the little prince to study, it will be a blessing for them."

"Then let's wait until spring comes and when the palace holds its Spring Banquet, have grandma bring the children into the palace."

Xiang Jinsong had heard outside the palace that the little prince loved reading just like His Majesty did when he was young, but His Majesty was busy with government affairs and probably had no time to teach him personally. The children of the Xiang family also studied with the king and queen when they entered the palace. The current king and queen were the former prince's tutor, and many people wanted to ask for it but could not.

"Yes, I obey your order."

After his grandfather left, Liang Chongyue did not stand up and return to the dragon table, but played with the jade twist in his hand, thinking silently in his heart.

"Yun Ling."

"The servant is here."

"Spread the word that I'm selecting a study partner for Minglang and that Chaoyang Palace needs some renovations. Someone will be moving in soon."

The Xiang family has produced many talented people in recent years, which is what Liang Chongyue is most relieved about. However, it is also because of her relationship with the Xiang family that the court of Daxia tends to value military power over culture. She did not mean to do so, but she could not stop her subordinates from speculating about the emperor's intentions.

Li Yu'an was the former Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince and the head of the civil officials. With this relationship, if he could make use of it, both the civil officials and the military generals would be at Ming Lang's disposal.

The first step is to select the study companion. Among the military generals, there is the Xiang family, and another one can be chosen from the civil officials.

The number of people does not need to be too large, and the precious character of the people is extremely important.

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

After Yun Ling left, Liang Chongyue handed the matter over to the system for investigation. The system cared about Minglang as much as she did. Whenever there was something concerning Minglang, the system would be the one that rushed the fastest.

"Go and search for children of similar age to Minglang in the civil service, or older if necessary, with talent, learning, and good character. Give me a list before the Spring Feast."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he was silent for a moment after hearing the system's response, and then added:

"We will also examine the military commanders and present any suitable ones."

Liang Chongyue was not familiar with the new generation of children in the Xiang family. No family's ancestral grave could always be filled with smoke. There would always be intermittent times. If the children of the Xiang family's generation who were of the right age were not smart, she would still have to make some preparations. If that didn't work, she would bring the Xiang family's children into the palace to be a mascot, anyway, to maintain the glory of the Xiang family.

"Got it. I'll be able to give the list to the host within a week."

As soon as the system's voice fell into Liang Chongyue's ears, there was a beeping sound of hanging up. Liang Chongyue didn't care much and stood up to continue reviewing her memorials.

Every day before the New Year passed quickly, and the day of congratulations from all nations was approaching. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had delivered the court robes that had been prepared a few days ago. Starting from today, there would be ten days of exemption from court. Last night, Minglang was clamoring to sleep with Liang Chongyue. When Liang Chongyue opened his eyes today, he saw Minglang sitting by the bed and drinking milk obediently. Although he was not big, he had a strong addiction to milk and drank tons and tons.

Minglang finished a glass of milk and turned to see the Queen Mother looking at her sideways. She paused as she was about to hand the cup to Aunt Chunxiang and turned to Aunt Chunxiang and said:

"Continued Cup."

Liang Chongyue was amused by the child's heavy drinking. He hugged Minglang in his arms, feeling like he was holding a meat ball with a milky flavor. Silver bell-like laughter came out of his arms. Minglang did not come out of Liang Chongyue's arms until Chunxiang came with the second glass of milk.

"Queen Mother, try it."

Liang Chongyue thought that Minglang wanted to drink the milk himself, but she never thought that he wanted it for her.

Liang Chongyue has always loved drinking milk tea and has no resistance to milk. He simply reached out to take it and drank it all in one gulp.

"Is the Queen Mother drinking well?"

The cup was taken away by Yun Ling. Facing Yun Ling's bright eyes, Liang Chongyue raised his hand to rub her sleepy head and whispered:

"It tastes good. How can it not taste good if Minglang brings it to the Queen Mother?"

Liang Chongyue held Minglang in her arms and played on the dragon bed for a while until she heard Aunt Chunxiang's voice coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager invites you to have breakfast at the Cining Palace."

After Liang Chongyue wrapped Minglang in the quilt, he said to Aunt Chunxiang who was standing behind the screen:

"I understand. I'll be there in a moment."

Liang Chongyue casually put on an outer robe and got up to dress Minglang first. There was a heating stove in the palace, but children were always fragile. After Minglang was dressed, Liang Chongyue asked Aunt Chunxiang to take him to wash.

"Your Majesty, these are the court robes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Which one would you like to wear today?"

Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over these exquisite clothes and pointed at one at random.

"I'll wear this tonight when I go to the imperial court and have breakfast at my mother's palace. It's fine to be casual."

When she has nothing to do, Liang Chongyue will accompany Minglang. These court robes are beautiful and gorgeous, but they can easily bump into Minglang.
