The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin crackled. Since arriving at the imperial farm, Liang Chongyue had not worn the dragon robe for a long time. He only wore a casual uniform with dark red and gold patterns, leaning on the couch, watching Minglang and the system playing together.

"Look, Queen Mother, when you drop this cypress branch into the charcoal brazier, the flames turn green."

Minglang was still holding a branch in one hand. Liang Chongyue looked down and saw that it was just as Minglang said, the upper part of the flame was glowing green.

"Be careful not to burn yourself."

Liang Chongyue had just slept for a while and was still awake. When Minglang came over, he took a piece of cheese from the plate and handed it to her mouth.

"If you want to eat, go wash your hands first."

Minglang glanced at the food on the plate next to the Queen Mother, swallowed the cheese in his mouth, opened his mouth towards the Queen Mother, ate the piece in the Queen Mother's hand, then turned around and continued playing with fire with the puppy.

"This kid."

Xiang Huayue saw this scene and smiled helplessly.

"Please keep an eye on it at night to prevent the flood from washing away the Dragon King Temple."

Liang Chongyue heard the teasing in his mother's tone and glanced at Minglang who was roasting corn.

"Let the child play as she pleases, otherwise she will get sleepy soon."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue ordered Yun Ling to go over and keep an eye on her. It was already late, and it was already past Minglang's bedtime. He was afraid that she would get sleepy from playing and accidentally burn herself.

Minglang was roasting corn on a charcoal brazier. After a while, the sweet smell of corn came out. She handed it to everyone one by one, but she didn't want to eat it herself. She just liked to roast it for fun.

Liang Chongyue looked down at the corn on the plate. The outside was covered in ash and the corn kernels looked burnt black. It seemed that Minglang would never be able to cook in his life. Fortunately, she didn't need to do these things herself, as someone would prepare everything for her.

Finally, it was past midnight and Liang Chongyue was not so sleepy anymore. Minglang was already tired from playing and lay in her arms with his eyelids blinking. If someone hadn't reminded him from time to time, he would have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

"Leave Minglang to me. He's been playing for so long today and will sleep soundly at night. He won't affect me."

Liang Chongyue was just about to carry Minglang back when she saw her mother's hand reaching out. She lowered her head to glance at Minglang who was already asleep, and silently handed the child over.

The queen mother left with her people, and Liang Chongyue returned to the main courtyard. She didn't keep anyone here tonight, and the lights in the house were on. Liang Chongyue waved away the palace servants, took a candle and walked to the tablet behind the main house, lit incense and kowtowed skillfully, and her sleepiness dissipated in the familiar smell of incense.

Liang Chongyue stared at the tablet of his scumbag father in silence for a long time, with many words stuck in his throat but he couldn't say them.

Finally, only one sentence is left:

"Father, Happy New Year."

She turned around and left, then went back to bed and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The sound of the system's snoring reached her ears. After all these years, she had long been immune to these sounds.

After opening the panel, Liang Chongyue couldn't fall asleep, so he simply started to handle government affairs.

The carrier eagle is still on the way and will reach the border in a few days. By then, the Dai Viet royal family will no longer exist.

As for those members of the Northern Royal Family, they had all been imprisoned in the Royal Villa long before the two uncles returned to Beijing. No one was allowed to leave, and the guards were all soldiers from Daxia. Anyone who dared to break the rules and make trouble would be killed.

After reading this, Liang Chongyue turned the content on the panel and checked the lives of the people in North China and the progress of the construction of the National Canal in the Guanzhong region... and fell asleep while reading.

When she woke up, her mother's small kitchen in the yard had already prepared Yuanxiao for her.

The days at the imperial farm passed quickly. Liang Chongyue extended his absence from court for ten days, and it passed in the blink of an eye. He would have to attend court again the day after tomorrow, and it was time to return to the capital.

After everything was packed up, Liang Chongyue, wearing a pure black fox fur coat, stood in the yard and watched Minglang say goodbye to her snowman one by one. The child will face numerous difficulties and dangers when she grows up, and she is willing to protect her innocence at this moment.

After returning to the palace, Liang Chongyue plunged into the Yangxin Palace to review memorials, and only had a few quick bites of dinner in the Yangxin Palace.

After returning to the familiar place, Liang Chongyue's biological clock adjusted instantly. He sat on the dragon throne and reviewed memorials from early in the morning. He did not finish the remaining half until dark.

At the court the next morning, all the departments had reported almost everything they were supposed to report before the New Year. Only the imperial examination required the Ministry of Rites to finalize all the regulations and report to her one by one.

The morning court ended quickly, and with the New Year's end, everything returned to normal. Three months ago, Liang Chongyue received a reply from the border, stating that the Dai Viet royal family had been dealt with completely, leaving no one behind.

The former Dai Viet Imperial Palace became an empty room filled with the endless smell of blood. Countless rare treasures were sent to the Great Xia Imperial City. Dai Viet, like Langwa, became a part of Great Xia.

The former Dai Viet Dynasty disappeared in the turbulent waves of history and became the new capital of Daxia - Yuezhou City.

Upon hearing the news, the historian marveled at the emperor's decisiveness and swift action. With trembling hands, he wrote in the history book: "In the third month of spring, Dai Viet was destroyed, and all its royal family members were completely eliminated. Dai Viet was incorporated into Daxia and renamed Yuezhou City."

After reading the records in the history book, Liang Chongyue said nothing and returned the history book to the historian.

After everyone left, the candlelight cast a long, slanted shadow of her standing in front of her scumbag father's tablet, casting it on the extremely cold gold brick floor.

The March Imperial Examination arrived in the blink of an eye. There have been a lot of new things and people in the capital recently. Liang Chongyue finally finished dealing with the memorials and was able to take a break and take a break.

"Yu'an, shall I take you out for a walk?"

I remember that they were both invigilators in the last imperial examination. Time flies.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu'an wrote the last line before stopping and picking up the paper, which was not yet completely dry, and handing it to His Majesty.

"I am a humble and unlearned person, and I can only think of these few questions."

Liang Chongyue detained Li Yu'an in the Yangxin Palace and did not allow him to go out, forcing him to think of the questions for the palace examination. Although she already had a few questions for reference, it would be a pity not to use such a talented person around her.

Liang Chongyue finished reading the questions, nodded silently, and felt satisfied.

"Don't talk about yourself like that from now on. If you are so unskilled and unlearned, wouldn't all the candidates I recruit for the imperial examinations every year be idiots and fools?"

Liang Chongyue put away the questions and pressed down Li Yuan's hand as he was about to put away his pen.

"I'll take you out to see this year's candidates and see how they differ from last year's."

Li Yu'an smiled and pulled his hand back from His Majesty's hand. While collecting his writing brush and ink, he replied:

"Examinees are human beings, so naturally, their behavior is different. If Your Majesty is willing to take me to try the new barbecue at Wangjiang Tower, I would be happy to go with Your Majesty."
