Minglang is too young to let go. Liang Chongyue had just finished explaining things and as soon as he let go, she ran away with everyone.

Fortunately, Fei He and Yun Ling caught up in time. With them around, Liang Chongyue was not worried.

"Mother, would you like to come with me?"

After the child was arranged, Liang Chongyue turned his head to look at his mother. His mother grew up in the border area and had been racing horses since she was a child. However, after entering the palace, she was rarely seen riding a horse.

"No, my mother is old and can't stand such a bumpy ride. You guys go and have fun on your own."

The Queen Mother's attire today was not suitable for riding a horse, so Liang Chongyue thought about it and stopped trying to persuade her.

"cousin!"

A Zheng's noisy voice came from behind. Liang Chongyue looked back at her with a helpless smile, and saw her grandmother and aunt coming with several children.

"This humble servant and the women of my family pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"Grandmother, there's no need to be so polite. Minglang has gone to the back. If the children want to go, please let those around me follow them so they don't get hurt."

As Liang Chongyue spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to a few palace maids who were accompanying her. With her mother here, she didn't have to worry about the rest.

With just one look, A Zheng understood immediately. She put her fingers to her mouth and blew a whistle. The sound of horse hooves responded from not far away.

"Okay, go have fun. Be careful and don't go into the woods."

Liang Chongyue and A Zheng rode away on horseback. They had no idea about hunting and went straight up the mountain.

"I heard that the barbecue at Lanxu Pavilion has improved again. Did you bring the chef with you today?"

"Of course I brought some, and I also brought a few people who are good at making pastries. If Minglang gets tired of eating barbecue, he can have some pastries to fill his stomach."

A Zheng remembered that Minglang didn't like barbecue very much. She didn't like greasy food. She was okay with a few bites, but she wouldn't eat any more.

"You are thoughtful. There are so many children today, I didn't think of these things."

"My cousin has the world in her heart, so just let me do this little thing."

Xiang Zheng has been tired of eating barbecue during her recent food tasting. In addition to making pastries, she also brought a few cooking chefs with her, just in case they might be of use.

There is a chef in the hunting ground, but the food is not very good. She doesn’t like it, let alone her cousin.

It’s so disappointing to go out and have fun, and then go back hungry.

"I see that the Xiang family brought four children this time. I remember that my aunt's family only had one granddaughter."

"The rest were children selected from the side branches. They're all well-behaved and studious. Mother was afraid that Ke'er wouldn't be pleasing Minglang and would cause trouble for my cousin, so she picked a few more to bring along."

Ke'er.

Liang Chongyue silently recited this name in her heart. The sweet and well-behaved girl from her aunt's family was called Xiang Ke, and she had two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.

"It depends on the children's preferences."

The children who were brought here today were all carefully selected by their families. Although this is the first time we meet, children of this age are not good at disguising themselves, and their character can be seen from their daily behavior.

As long as the child Minglang chooses has good character, Liang Chongyue doesn't care about his family background.

At worst, if their family background is too poor, we can just choose two more with good family backgrounds to fill the gap.

The horses galloped in the cool breeze of early autumn. Summer passed, and Liang Chongyue saw many fruit-bearing trees along the way.

"The fruits are growing well this year. I hope the people can have a good harvest too."

Xiang Zheng has become accustomed to her cousin always keeping the people and Daxia in her heart and talking about them all the time. Although she has not met many emperors in her life, her cousin is definitely the one who cares most about the country and the people.

"Don't think too much about it, cousin. Won't this autumn harvest bear fruit by October?"

"Nowadays, Daxia is peaceful and prosperous. This is all due to my cousin's hard work. It's a rare opportunity to leave the palace, so why not give yourself a break? God won't blame you."

The horses ran very fast, and the voices of the two people floated on the wind.

Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. Liang Chongyue stood on the edge and looked down. The entire hunting ground was in his sight. He could clearly see the children running and playing, and occasionally he could catch a glimpse of the lively scene in the forest on the other side.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

A Zheng suddenly walked up to Liang Chongyue and started shouting towards the bottom of the mountain. The sound came from beside Liang Chongyue and echoed in the forest. Liang Chongyue could even feel how nervous the secret guards around him were who were startled by her shout.

However, Liang Chongyue did not stop him, but just raised his hand to wave away the secret guard.

The mountain was high, and the children below were not affected, but the black figure seemed to have heard something, and stood still and looked in their direction.

As if to confirm, only after confirming that everything was alright did he look away and focus on taking care of the child.

"Cousin, have I gotten into trouble?"

Xiang Zheng had been practicing martial arts since childhood, so he naturally felt that most of the secret guards behind him had come out in unison.

By the time she regretted it, the sound had already echoed and she couldn't take it back.

"No, I just let out the pressure, not to cause trouble."

Liang Chongyue is good at observing people's hearts. A Zheng is not a child who easily shows her emotions. Something must have happened when she suddenly became like this today.

But if she didn't say it, Liang Chongyue wouldn't take the initiative to ask, because everyone has their own little secrets.

Her cousin's words completely broke the last line of defense in Xiang Zheng's heart, and she could no longer hold back her emotions.

Liang Chongyue looked at her aggrieved look, no wonder she didn't want to go hunting today, and A Zheng also followed her obediently to run in the mountains. Usually, she was the one who loved the lively atmosphere the most.

Liang Chongyue took the person's hand and walked inside. It was too dangerous to stand on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain.

Raising his hand to signal the secret guards to retreat to a safe distance, Liang Chongyue pulled A Zheng and found a large rock to sit on.

"If you want to say something, I'll listen. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Liang Chongyue was wearing riding clothes today, and on his wrist was a jade hairpin that he usually wore, which he put into A Zheng's hand.

"Play with it yourself, and if you like it, I'll give it to you."

Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful. The breeze brought a faint fragrance of flowers from time to time, which made people feel relaxed.

"Cousin, I want to move out of the mansion and live on my own."

When Liang Chongyue heard this, she didn't even raise her eyelids. She had already guessed it.

Xiang Zheng had a smooth life. After leaving the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, she was the Princess Yongle, and no one dared to deny her some face.

But in the mansion, her status as a princess was not enough to look up to. Her grandmother was also a princess, and her aunt came from a prominent family and had already received an imperial decree.

She was still a child and it was not easy for her to disobey her parents. Her uncle and aunt were not very open-minded about her marriage and they would say a few words from time to time.

"Yes, there are several vacant Niwang Mansions on the Qu'an official road. If you like any of them, tell me."
