Liang Chongyue naturally would not be polite. She would not give A Zheng anything that she had not checked. The other two letters were not sealed, so Liang Chongyue took them out and read them.

After reading it, Liang Chongyue packed up the letter and stuffed it back with an expressionless face. He then put the things into his backpack by stuffing them into the drawer.

Sitting on the dragon throne, looking at the system sleeping soundly beside him, Liang Chongyue suddenly chuckled. No wonder the puppy stayed up so late last night. This kid is a little infatuated with him.

It seems that A Zheng has good taste. I hope this guy can be loyal and not let A Zheng down.

After that day, Liang Chongyue never heard a word about Chai Shuo from A Zheng again. After this man left the capital, it seemed as if he had not only disappeared from A Zheng's world, but had never appeared at all.

However, Liang Chongyue is also an experienced person, and those who keep silent about it are the ones who have not let it go.

With a personality like A Zheng, if she lets it go, she might occasionally bring it up.

If she didn't say it, Liang Chongyue and her mother would naturally not mention it.

However, to Liang Chongyue's surprise, her aunt never urged Azheng to get married again after that.

I don’t know if it’s because the Xiang family has added another member and my aunt is surrounded by a bunch of children and has no time to take care of them, or for some other reason.

The days passed quickly one after another, and it was autumn again. Liang Chongyue was accompanying Minglang in practicing sword in the backyard of the Cining Palace. The fallen leaves were flying and the sword was sharp.

Minglang has already practiced quite well at a young age.

"I've taught you a few more moves today. Practice them on your own. I'll come back to check in an hour."

Liang Chongyue handed Minglang to Feihe's care. Just as he took the teacup that Feihe brought to his mouth and took a sip, his eyes noticed Azheng who was sitting beside him in a daze.

Looking at the fallen leaves in the yard, Liang Chongyue suddenly thought of something.

"It's been a year, hasn't it?"

Fei He understood what His Majesty was saying, nodded silently and added:

"Exactly one year."

Liang Chongyue knew what was going on and didn't bother A Zheng.

Noticing that his mother was looking over here, Liang Chongyue took the initiative to greet her.

"That girl is still thinking about Chai Shuo?"

Liang Chongyue personally poured a cup of tea for her mother. A Zheng was sitting far away, and she was not worried that A Zheng would hear the sharp sound of the sword, so she whispered to her mother.

"It's been exactly one year today. It's normal for people to have emotions and desires."

Xiang Huayue wanted to turn around and look at Ah Zheng, but Liang Chongyue stopped her:

"Don't bother her. Zheng is a sensible child and knows what's going on."

Xiang Huayue recalled that when her sister-in-law sent Xiang Ke to the palace a few days ago, they chatted about A Zheng in the Cining Palace, and her sister-in-law looked helpless.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Your Majesty when I say this. As a mother, I naturally hope that Ah Zheng can find a good husband, but I also don't want to see her hanging on to someone and wasting her best years.

But Yan Lang also thought that the child was good and was willing to let A Zheng wait for a year or two. He said that after all, the girls of the Xiang family would never have trouble finding a husband, and if he had to choose, he would choose someone who was sincere to A Zheng. I, the concubine, couldn't say anything.

When these words came out of the mouth of the Queen Mother, Liang Chongyue could imagine the helpless look on her aunt's face.

There's no point getting anxious and angry. I'm also afraid that if I insist on choosing a husband for A Zheng, she will still have someone else in her heart, and even if they get married, they will just be an unfortunate couple.

"North China's water conservancy projects are progressing very quickly. I think that guy will be back by this time next year."

A few days ago, Liang Chongyue received a memorial sent back from Huabei, written by Chai Shuo. It detailed the progress of the river engineering and water conservancy projects, which matched what was seen on the system panel.

The system has lost the bet and started to eat melons wantonly. In the name of doing good for A Zheng, it monitors Chai Shuo's every word and action every day, saying that if Chai Shuo shows any infidelity, Liang Chongyue will take action to break up this already ill-fated couple.

It has been a year now, and the system has been spying on Chai Shuo whenever it has nothing to do. Gradually, from being curious about Chai Shuo all day in the beginning, it has become that as soon as it opens the panel and sees Chai Shuo standing by the river bank, it will turn off the system directly.

According to the system, even if it gets dark, Chai Shuo will not be able to go home before the hour of Xu.

They worked day and night with torches, and were even more anxious than Hu Jing.

Liang Chongyue once saw Chai Shuo's appearance on the panel. In less than a year, the boy seemed to have grown a lot.

He didn't even have time to shave his beard when it grew. He looked no better than the laborers working by the riverbank, and his once fair face was tanned. He no longer had the handsome appearance he once had. I wonder if A Zheng would be able to recognize him if she saw him.

That night, Minglang returned home from his study companionship. He did not want to go back to Zhaoyang Palace to sleep, so he pulled Liang Chongyue over to tell her a story and coax her to sleep.

Liang Chongyue thought that it had been a long time since she told Minglang a story to put him to sleep, so she agreed without waiting for Minglang to pester her any further.

Liang Chongyue took a book that Minglang was reading and continued to talk based on what she had read. After just a few words, the problem baby Liang Minglang started the first story of the day that was not related to books.

"Queen Mother, is Aunt Zheng in love with someone?"

Liang Chongyue stopped reading, closed the book, and looked at Minglang with amusement:

"You have to study and practice martial arts every day, and you still have time to worry about your aunt's affairs? I think you are still too idle. Practice martial arts for an extra hour tomorrow."

As soon as Liang Chongyue finished speaking, Minglang grabbed her hand and started to act coquettishly:

"Mother, I didn't mean to know this. It's just that my aunt has been staring blankly at one place these days. She only comes back to her senses when I call her. Could you please not punish me? I didn't mean to know this."

Minglang held Liang Chongyue's hand tightly and looked at Liang Chongyue with aggrieved eyes.

Not many people knew about this matter, and it was even more unlikely that anyone would dare to gossip about it in front of Minglang.

Minglang has a very smart mind. It has been a year now. A Zheng has been in a bad mood recently, so it is not impossible that Minglang has noticed it.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, little kid. Study hard and practice martial arts. Don't mention it in front of your aunt in the future. I won't punish you this time."

When Liang Minglang heard the Queen Mother say that she would not punish him, he took the opportunity to speak out what was in his heart.

"I saw tears in my aunt's eyes. Did that man let her down? Mother, please don't let him off so easily."

Holding Liang Chongyue's hand, he clenched his fist tightly. Judging from Minglang's attitude, he was not only unwilling to let her go easily, but also wanted to teach her a lesson.

Liang Chongyue pried her little hands apart and stuffed them back into the quilt.

"This matter is not what you think. Stop worrying about it. If you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
