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

In the first year of the Great Xia Dynasty, the capital city was decorated with lights and Chang'an Avenue was bustling with activity. Today was the first anniversary of His Majesty's accession to the throne, and all nations were coming to pay tribute. The restaurants on Chang'an Avenue had been booked early, because the envoys from various countries had to pass through Chang'an Avenue to enter the palace, and everyone wanted to see what these foreign envoys looked like.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. The Empress Dowager and the young prince have already set off for Xuande Hall."

Liang Chongyue finished the last stroke of the eyebrow pencil when the system message popped up:

"Host, I've checked it. There's nothing wrong with the powder. You can spread it now."

The eyebrow pencil fell into the makeup box. Liang Chongyue raised her hand to wave away the servants beside her. As soon as the door of the Yangxin Palace was closed from the outside, Fei He responded and landed beside her.

"I will change your majesty's clothes."

Liang Chongyue did not stop him. She stood up and let Fei He put on her outer court dress.

"It's almost time, we can start."

Liang Chongyue lowered her voice so low that only she and Fei He could hear it.

After putting on his outer robe, Liang Chongyue pulled off a cloak made of the skin of the Northern White Wolf King that was hanging nearby. Fei He left, and the door of the Yangxin Palace opened from the inside. It was snowing outside again.

"Your Majesty, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest and is a very auspicious sign."

Yun Ling said auspicious words while stepping forward to support His Majesty.

"Go ahead with an umbrella. It's cold, and it's even colder sitting here."

Yun Ling took the umbrella from the little palace maid beside her, held it up for His Majesty, and walked with His Majesty into the heavy snow outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Snowflakes danced on both sides in the wind, and the originally biting cold wind seemed much softer.

"Your Highness loves snow the most. It's snowing again today. Your Highness will definitely be happy to see it."

Thinking of Minglang, Liang Chongyue's eyes were gentle:

"This child was born in the summer, but he doesn't like summer and prefers winter. It's really hard to understand a child's mind."

Liang Chongyue doesn't like winter or snow. Snow adds color to the capital, but it can freeze people to death outside the capital.

Yun Ling recalled the time when His Majesty returned from the border in the snow, and the words on her lips stopped again.

"Tell the kitchen in the Cining Palace to prepare ginger soup early. If Minglang wants to play, there's no need to restrict her."

After this Chinese New Year, she will have less time to play like this.

"Yes, I understand, slave."

When Liang Chongyue arrived at the Xuande Hall, everyone inside was present except the envoys from various countries.

When everyone in the Xuande Hall heard the bell ringing outside the hall, they immediately stopped talking, stood up and stood beside their seats to look towards the hall entrance.

All nations came to congratulate, and the bells rang, indicating that His Majesty was about to arrive. The entire Xuande Hall suddenly became quiet. The dancers and musicians stopped and waited on the side. Everyone held their breath as usual, waiting for His Majesty to arrive.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Ping'an's sharp voice rang out from outside the hall, and everyone immediately knelt on the ground.

The door of the hall was opened from the outside, and the candles in the hall suddenly swayed. A cold wind carrying ambergris blew into the hall. Liang Chongyue, supported by Yun Ling, walked towards the top position of Xuande Hall.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue sat down on the dragon throne, his eyes swept across the entire audience, and finally lingered for a moment on Minglang's kneeling body.

"Be flat."

A majestic voice sounded, the tone was not high but unquestionable. Liang Chongyue spread out his wide sleeves, and the jade pendant tied around his waist collided with the scabbard, making a crisp sound.

Almost everyone in the Xuande Hall had experienced His Majesty's battle for the throne. Even if they had not seen it with their own eyes, the palace was full of soldiers and horses in those days. The voice that just came from the top was very familiar, and it instantly reminded everyone of the Princess Royal who had returned from North China a year ago.

The scene that day was so horrifying that it served as a warning to everyone. There were patrolling soldiers everywhere inside and outside the palace, and His Majesty was accompanied by secret guards. Today was a festive day with all nations paying tribute, but His Majesty was coming with a sword. It was likely that today would not be peaceful.

Liang Chongyue was wearing a bright yellow court robe and sitting at the top seat. Although the twelve-tasseled crown blocked his view, he could still clearly see every move of everyone in the hall. Some smart people had already restrained their emotions and sat upright, not as relaxed as before.

After Liang Chongyue withdrew her gaze, she took a last look at where her mother and Minglang were sitting. After looking into her mother's eyes, she silently withdrew her gaze. Everything was going in the direction she had preset.

"Your Majesty, the delegations have arrived."

"Then summon the envoys from various countries."

Because of the table blocking the view, no one below could see the sword hanging at her waist.

"Rumor—Embassies from all nations are coming to see the emperor—"

Ping An's voice was sharp and could be heard from far away. The door of Xuande Hall opened and drums could be heard outside. The sound waves made the golden bells hanging on the eaves jingle violently, which was a demonstration to the diplomatic corps of various countries.

The officials from the Honglu Temple had been waiting outside for a long time. When they heard the drum, they led the envoys from various countries to the court. There were instructions on the locations of the envoys from various countries, and Lord Li Wen had specifically instructed them to pay special attention.

Liang Chongyue looked straight at the people who walked in from outside the palace gate. Although the Northern Territory was the most powerful country among the envoys' countries, Liang Chongyue had deprived the Northern Territory royal family of even the last bit of power in the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory royal family, which was once full of evil, was now more like an empty shell, a tool to reflect her kindness.

It was not known whether it was a deliberate arrangement by the Honglu Temple, but the royal envoys from the northern border walked at the end of the audience delegation. Although Langwa had harbored ulterior motives, he was dealt with by Liang Chongyue, and he also made contributions in a battle at the border, so naturally he walked to the front.

These delegations had their belongings checked when they entered Daxia, and they had to check them again every time they passed a checkpoint. Only the royal family of the Northern Territory, who were so shrewd and cunning, had hidden Gu in their bodies and were not detected.

Not to mention that the inspections for entering the post station and the palace were even stricter. Except for those brought in with Liang Chongyue's tacit permission, everyone else had to have everything they wore and carried checked by the Ministry of Justice.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen of Daxia."

The Xuande Hall was filled with envoys from various countries who came to pay their respects. Beside each envoy stood the Minister of the Honglu Temple, holding a tablet and calling out their names:

"The Langwa delegation presented ten boxes each of rare spices such as frankincense, and precious medicinal herbs such as blood ginseng."

There is not much space for Langwa to grow herbs, and these things are already a huge gift for Langwa that will empty his family's savings.

Liang Chongyue nodded silently to show his satisfaction:

"Yes, Langwa's blood ginseng is not easy to come by. Thank you for your kindness."

When the Langwa delegation heard the praise from the Queen of Daxia, they finally felt relieved after being worried for many days.

"Give me a seat——"

Ping'an shouted loudly, and immediately palace servants came forward to guide the Langwa delegation to their seats. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had just called out their names, also returned to the seat that had been prepared long ago and sat down.
