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

It was almost evening when Liang Chongyue returned to the palace. If she hadn't had to attend an early court session the next day, she would have stayed at the farmhouse.

After leaving all the medicinal herbs behind, Liang Chongyue even called the village head to give him a few instructions before riding away.

After returning to the palace, Liang Chongyue saw the memorials on the dragon table before he had time to drink a sip of tea. Thinking back on his miserable whole day, Liang Chongyue cursed many people in his heart, and finally sat down in front of the dragon table with resignedness to his fate and began to review the memorials.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has returned to the palace, but he has changed all his robes. The one who went out to gather information has not returned yet."

Li Yu'an leaned on the couch with a book in his hand, reading quietly and listening to Cheng Zhao's report. He recalled the night when His Majesty suddenly left the palace and every corner of the palace was occupied by the imperial guards.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the Lord Commander beside His Majesty?"

Cheng Zhao didn't understand why His Highness suddenly asked about the Lord Commander, but he still answered truthfully:

"This Lord Commander was used by the late emperor and later passed to Your Majesty. He has been elusive, so it's no surprise that he hasn't been seen."

Li Yu'an was no longer in the mood to read on. He recalled that every night when he stayed in the Yangxin Palace, he would wake up in the middle of the night and feel a pair of eyes staring at him from the beam. Those eyes had disappeared in recent days, and the emperor's mood had become changeable.

There must be a connection between them, but it is not something he can delve into.

It was he who gave up his position as Grand Tutor and chose to enter the palace to be the Queen. Now there are only a few people he can command. If he continues to investigate further and His Majesty finds out, he will probably dislike him for a long time.

After all, he is not Fei He, and does not hold such a high position in His Majesty's heart.

"Call them back. No need to check again. They are probably all back now."

Cheng Zhao was confused by these two sentences of His Highness. One moment he asked him to call the person back, and the next moment he said that the person was about to come back. Should he call the person back or not?

Cheng Zhao looked at His Highness in confusion and stood there for a while. His Highness didn't even glance at him, just staring at the book in his hand.

There was no other way, so he had to send someone out to call back all the people who were trying to find out the news.

After Cheng Zhao left, Li Yu'an couldn't read a single word. He put down the book in his hand, pinched his brows tiredly, and scanned the entire inner hall of Kunning Palace.

After seeing the exquisite decoration of carved beams and painted buildings, she looked down at the phoenix robe she was wearing, as if she had found spiritual support. The jealousy towards Fei He in her heart gradually turned into disdain.

"What does it matter if I am favored by His Majesty? A secret guard is only fit to hang on the beam for the rest of his life. He is the only one who can stand by His Majesty's side."

The more Li Yu'an thought about it, the more relieved he felt. However, the candlelight flickered, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

Liang Chongyue was not aware of the things happening in Kunning Palace, nor was she too lazy to find out.

The system was still snoring loudly. Liang Chongyue was so busy that he had no time to take care of it.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask if everything is okay here. She said there's some milk and bird's nest stew in the Cining Palace, and she sent a bowl over for you to eat while it's hot."

Yun Ling put down the bird's nest, which smelled very fragrant. Liang Chongyue had not eaten dinner and was now hungry.

"My Queen Mother is still awake at this time. Please ask the small kitchen in the Cining Palace to make a pot for me so I can eat and sleep."

The small kitchen in the Cining Palace would not be turned off until midnight, but the same could not be said for the imperial kitchen, so it was better to send someone directly to the Cining Palace to order food, so that the queen mother could rest assured.

Liang Chongyue put the unfinished memorial aside and stirred the bird's nest. The sound of the system snoring became clear again. Liang Chongyue glanced at the system sleeping soundly on the cushion:

"Make another pot that's not spicy and put more meat in it."

The puppy's snoring was deafening in the Yangxin Palace. Yun Ling had been with His Majesty for many years, and she immediately understood that the extra portion was prepared for the puppy.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

His Majesty's appetite improved, and Yun Ling's steps became lighter as she went to the Cining Palace to deliver the message.

After Liang Chongyue finished eating the bird's nest, he continued to review the memorials. By the time he finished reviewing the memorials, the pot had arrived.

As soon as the two fragrant pots arrived, the system's snoring stopped immediately. Liang Chongyue didn't even need to take a second look. When he lowered his head, the system was already coming over with the pots in its mouth.

Liang Chongyue had a hotpot of shark fin, shrimp and mushrooms, and the system's portion was even more varied, with all kinds of meat. It felt like the small kitchen in the Cining Palace had added all the meat it could find today. The system ate with relish, and the portion was so extra that it could hardly fit into its big bowl.

The small kitchen was thoughtful enough to bring some hot wine. After Liang Chongyue had eaten and drunk his fill, he simply washed up and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, everyone attended court according to procedure. The court after the major reshuffle pleased Liang Chongyue very much, and there were fewer people talking nonsense.

They only talked about business, and even if there were disputes in the court, Liang Chongyue felt that it was more pleasant than before.

At least the starting point of these people's arguments is the people and Daxia, unlike those old guys in the past who only thought about their own interests.

As he spoke one thing after another, he had already thought of a way to make money in a flash.

After the morning court session ended, Liang Chongyue returned to the Yangxin Palace. Seeing Li Yu'an coming to have breakfast with her, she was used to it and didn't say anything.

Halfway through the meal, Liang Chongyue seemed to have thought of something and said:

"I remember there are still many empty palaces in the palace. Even if they are not occupied, they still need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise the wood will rot over time."

When Li Yu'an heard His Majesty mention the empty palace, his heart instantly rose in his chest, but he still maintained his composure on the surface.

"Your Majesty, there are not many concubines in the harem. I often send people to clean the empty palaces. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue nodded in satisfaction and continued eating without saying a word.

Li Yu'an, who was standing by, couldn't eat anymore. He wanted to ask directly several times, but he held back.

When breakfast was almost over and His Majesty was about to finish eating without saying a word about Fei He, Li Yu'an finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"There are few concubines in the palace, and most of the palaces are empty. If Your Majesty finds someone you like, you may as well take her into the palace to serve you."

As soon as Li Yu'an finished speaking, he looked up and met the emperor's scrutinizing gaze. He stopped talking instantly, his face still showing that obedient look.

"I will tell you in advance who I want to take into the palace. There is no need to test me like this."

His Majesty saw through his little thoughts, and Li Yu'an's face turned pale and blue, looking extremely ugly, but he had to suppress his grievance and nodded obediently.

"Yes, I have overstepped my bounds."

Liang Chongyue put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth with tea, and instructed Yun Ling:

"Let's leave. From now on, breakfast in the Yangxin Palace can be prepared just for me."

"Kunning Palace isn't that close to the Yangxin Palace. Don't run around anymore. Get some more sleep."
