After staying in the imperial manor for five days, Minglang had completely had fun. Although it was freezing cold outside, she and the system could still find some interesting places to play every day. She no longer missed the palace at all.

"Your Majesty, Lord Fan from the Ministry of Revenue has sent a letter."

Liang Chongyue left all the unreviewed memorials in the palace, and decided to have fun while he was out.

Knowing that Fan Hun was handling the reception of other delegations, Liang Chongyue reached out to take the letter and opened it.

"Well, I was a little harsh last time, but now it seems you have improved a lot."

Liang Chongyue closed the letter she had read and raised her hand to stop Yun Ling who wanted to come forward to grind ink for her:

"Tell Fan Hun that I'm quite satisfied with his recent performance and will not be moving him from his position for now."

Ping'an took the order and retreated. Liang Chongyue shook the pendant made of colorful ropes that Minglang gave her yesterday. The child's hands were small, and the weaving was not very delicate, but the thought alone was enough.

"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Day. Won't Your Majesty return to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

Liang Chongyue waved her hands in boredom. Although there was nothing interesting in the imperial farm, it was always different outside the palace.

"Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who did not celebrate the New Year in the imperial palace. This year I will not go back. There is nothing interesting in the palace."

Liang Chongyue had had enough of celebrating the New Year in the palace these years. When her scumbag father was alive, she had to stay up all night with him. After midnight, her scumbag father would offer sacrifices to his ancestors, but she couldn't go in and had to wait outside. By the time she finished the whole process, it was already dawn.

This year it is her turn to be the emperor, so she should put this tough job aside for now and do it after she returns to the palace.

Yun Ling wanted to say that this was against etiquette, but since no one could stop His Majesty's decision, she had no choice but to keep silent.

That night, when Yun Ling came to deliver the meal, she brought the news that Minglang and System stayed with the Queen Mother for dinner. Liang Chongyue silently looked up at the person hiding on the beam and the two guarding the door.

Li Yu'an and He Yanting have been very busy these days. Dealing with these two people is enough to make her worry, so she inevitably neglected others.

Despite being surrounded by beauty, she did not seek pleasure. As expected, she was born to be a good emperor.

Liang Chongyue stroked his chin, ignoring the gaze of Liang Shangren, and prepared to go to the hot spring tonight to drive away the cold.

He did as he said. After eating a few bites, Liang Chongyue ordered Yun Ling to pack up and follow him to the hot spring in the forest.

"There are many ferocious beasts in the forest. I will accompany Your Majesty."

Yun Ling had just packed up the things His Majesty was going to use when a black shadow fell from the beam. Even though she knew there was someone up there, she was still startled by the sudden drop of someone, and she almost dropped the things in her hands.

Liang Chongyue wanted to refuse, as Fei He's eyes looked turbulent. However, when she met his aggrieved look, Liang Chongyue was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed for some unknown reason.

"Then you can accompany me. Yunling, go to bed early tonight."

The hot spring was in the forest behind the imperial manor. After it was discovered, a unique courtyard was specially built. It was not far from the imperial manor. Liang Chongyue and Fei He arrived there quickly, each riding a horse.

Liang Chongyue handed the reins to Fei He, took out the key that had been prepared long ago from the box he carried with him, and opened the door of the courtyard.

The courtyard is cleaned every day and is a quiet and elegant place.

It was snowing all the way, and many snowflakes fell on Liang Chongyue's body, but he didn't feel cold with the cloak protecting him.

When he pushed open the door of the side room, hot air immediately hit him in the face, warming his face.

"I remember this hot spring is from a spring deep in the forest."

Liang Chongyue took off his cloak, and after Fei He came in, he reached out and scooped up ripples in the hot spring while talking.

It was another absurd night. It seemed as if the side room was not a hot spring, but a whole ocean. The waves crashed against the shore with a loud noise. Everything in the house was soaked by the sea water. It was not until the first ray of light in the early morning shone into the house that two stranded people emerged from the shore.

Liang Chongyue slept in the hot spring courtyard until the afternoon. After tossing and turning all night, her lower back was very sore. Fortunately, there was someone to serve her. She didn't have to do anything, as someone would take the initiative to bring it to her, taking care of her in every possible way.

"Your Majesty, you worked hard last night."

Fei He's voice sounded concerned, but Liang Chongyue didn't think that was the case. She felt like the old man was mocking her for being weak in the second half.

She slapped Fei He's handsome face as it came close to her, with a crisp sound.

"Your Majesty's hands must be hurt. I can do it myself."

After saying that, Fei He hit the other half of his face, and the sound was much louder than the one Liang Chongyue had just made. Liang Chongyue suddenly remembered something. The people around her seemed to be abnormal, so she stopped hitting him.

"That's enough. It's almost time to go back."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue turned over and got off the couch, ignoring the smile that flashed in Fei He's eyes and the loneliness that was just enough.

When he returned to the imperial farm, Liang Chongyue saw Minglang playing with the system in making snowmen. There were already seven or eight snowmen in the yard. In order to ensure that the snowmen could live longer, the snow in the yard was swept clean except for the paths, and the snow in other places was kept as it was. The temperature in the yard was also much lower than that in the house.

"Mother Queen, your son pays homage to you."

Minglang rushed over like a little sweet bean. Liang Chongyue half-knelt down and picked him up. He felt that the child had gained some weight recently.

"It's so cold outside. We should go back after playing for a while. It's hard to cure a cold in winter."

Now that Minglang has grown up, Liang Chongyue has finally understood how anxious his mother was when he was poisoned as a child.

"I know, Queen Mother, look, does my new snowman look like a puppy?"

Liang Chongyue looked in the direction of Minglang's finger and saw the system standing upright between the two snowmen, as if waiting to be praised.

"Yes, just the demeanor alone is 70% like it."

Hearing the Queen Mother's praise, Minglang's eyes lit up. After staying in the Queen Mother's arms for a while, he wanted to get down and continue to devote himself to the snowman business.

Before entering the house, Liang Chongyue turned around to look at Minglang who was playing and said to the people beside him:

"Keep an eye on Minglang, don't let her get cold."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We understand."

After Liang Chongyue entered the room, he took off his cloak and leaned on the couch. He was still a little tired. Fei He was really too much. He pretended to be deaf even when he called for him to stop, and he had to toss and turn all night.

Liang Chongyue wanted to slap Fei He again when he thought about it. As he thought about it, Liang Chongyue felt a little tired again. He closed his eyes unconsciously and began to feel drowsy.

"Your Majesty, please don't sleep. Tonight is New Year's Eve, and we have to stay up all night. The Queen Mother sent someone to tell you this early in the morning."

Liang Chongyue woke up in shock from his dying dream, his eyes slightly opened:

"I understand. Call me later."
