Hearing that there was something delicious, the system opened its eyelids a little and stared at the gate. There was a screen blocking the view, so it could only wait for the servant who delivered the food to come out before it could see what the dish was.

"There must be some pork elbows that you like. Mother had four cooked just for you."

Xiang Sheng leaned against the puppy's head, trying not to get close to the puppy's injured arm, and whispered to the puppy.

When the system heard about the elbow, its eyes widened. All the wounds on its body had been cleaned up, and it didn't hurt at all. It felt cool and comfortable. Its appetite increased greatly and it couldn't wait.

Liang Chongyue was not very hungry. She felt a little tired after giving the system a bath. There were all kinds of dishes on the table, but she only took a few bites and put down her chopsticks after drinking a bowl of soup.

"Host, I feel that the cooking skills of Lanxu Pavilion have improved. This pork elbow skin is delicious."

The hair around the system's mouth was shiny. Liang Chongyue took a quick look and then turned her eyes away. Someone would clean it up when she got back, and she would never give the puppy a bath again.

It's so tiring.

There was another knock on the door:

"His Majesty."

Fei He's voice was heard outside, and it seemed that the matter at Huangzhuang was over.

"Enter."

Fei He was carrying a bag on his back, and it looked like he had come directly here.

No matter where Liang Chongyue went, unless he specifically ordered that no one was allowed to follow him, there would always be a group of secret guards following him. It was normal for Fei He to find him so quickly.

After Fei He came in to pay his respects to His Majesty, he glanced at the puppy that was eating hard and saw a piece of light yellow ointment among its fur. He put the ointment in his hand back.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to the palace to give instructions. The Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness Prince Bao have returned to the palace."

Liang Chongyue nodded, and after the system had eaten its fill, he gave Xiang Sheng a few more instructions before leaving Lanxu Pavilion with his men.

The system ate too much tonight and walked slowly on the road.

Chang'an Avenue was still bustling at night. With the conspicuous system package around, he was recognized by people passing by or preparing to come in as soon as he walked out of the gate of Lanxu Pavilion.

"See your majesty, long live your majesty."

The kneeling people could only see the tops of their heads. Liang Chongyue's majestic voice rang out from above their heads:

"Everyone, get up."

The guards of Lanxu Pavilion came forward to clear the way. The carriage had stopped not far away. Liang Chongyue got on the carriage. Fei He rode the horse and walked in front with the system, heading towards the direction of the Princess's Mansion.

Since he doesn’t have to attend court tomorrow, Liang Chongyue doesn’t want to go back even more.

When she arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Fei He had already sent someone back to give instructions in advance, and everything looked familiar to her.

After a quick wash, Liang Chongyue sat on the second-floor terrace of Changshengtian and drank with Fei He.

The windows on the terrace were wide open, and cold wind blew in from time to time. Fei He tried to close them several times, but Liang Chongyue refused.

"I'm not so fragile that I'll fall ill after just a short exposure to the cold wind."

The system lay down at Liang Chongyue's feet and covered her feet. The system had suffered a lot today and fell asleep when it arrived at a familiar place.

Liang Chongyue was drinking and chatting with Fei He about Minglang's affairs.

"I plan to find something for her to do while traveling in Minglang after the two-year period ends. If you have nothing to do before the New Year, you can give me some advice."

Liang Chongyue believes that the environment changes people. She has been trained under the control of her scumbag father since she was a child. She must face this old fox of a scumbag father, but Minglang has no such concerns.

The child told her everything, without any secrets.

This is good, but not good enough.

"How does Your Majesty wish to train Prince Bao?"

The jade twist on the wrist slipped down and was caught in Liang Chongyue's hand and played with it.

"At least let her see more of the hardships of this world, become disappointed with human nature, and learn that suffering can lead to new life."

Fei He sat beside His Majesty and saw him drinking cup after cup. These were all stored wines in the mansion, and they were quite strong. His Majesty had a great alcohol tolerance, but drinking too much would harm his health.

"Your Majesty, you do not need to attend court tomorrow. Drinking alcohol and being exposed to the wind in winter can easily lead to catching a cold. Will your subordinates close all the windows?"

Liang Chongyue waved at Fei He. No matter what Fei He did, she had her own thoughts in her mind.

When Fei He closed the window and came back, he saw His Majesty holding a wine glass in his hand, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"I think Your Majesty is being overly suspicious. Why is Your Majesty so worried about Prince Bao? Your Majesty has personally taught Prince Bao more than just reading and etiquette over the years."

"Perhaps Prince Bao is only as innocent and kind-hearted as Your Majesty fears, when he is with those very close to him."

Liang Chongyue looked up in confusion. Why did she feel that Minglang was not like what Fei He said? Could it be that Minglang had a side that she didn't know about?

"Isn't it the same with His Majesty back then?"

Fei He walked up to His Majesty, knelt slowly, took the wine glass from His Majesty's hand, put the wine glass back on the low table, took a piece of soft cheese that His Majesty liked to eat and put it in His Majesty's hand, and said softly:

"Forgive me for your offense, but Your Majesty used to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. Even when he was fully grown, no one knew the extent of your power."

Your Majesty's current state of worry is very similar to that of the late emperor. The late emperor was pleased with Your Majesty's growth, but at the same time worried that the other princes were only concerned with intrigue and calculation every day and did nothing practical.

After Your Majesty came of age, the brilliance of the other princes was gradually overshadowed. The more powerful Your Majesty became, the more the other princes seemed to be lagging behind in their ambition and lack of progress.

Liang Chongyue ate soft cheese while listening to Fei He's clear and logical analysis of the current situation.

"It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Bao is lucky enough to enjoy His Majesty's motherly love all to himself, without having to share it with others. Naturally, he has complete trust and admiration for His Majesty. In His Majesty's eyes, His Royal Highness is still a child, but in His Royal Highness's eyes, His Majesty has become the mountain that His Royal Highness looks up to throughout his life. No one can replicate His Majesty's path to where he came from.

Your Highness is trying hard to emulate Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the common ruler of the world, so how could Your Highness be any worse?"

Whenever Fei He mentioned Minglang, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes would deepen. He had enough confidence in His Majesty and his children. Minglang would definitely be a good heir and she would not let His Majesty down.

After finishing the cheese and diluting the aroma of wine in his mouth, Liang Chongyue reached out and touched the smile lines at the corners of Fei He's eyes. Fei He didn't seem to have changed much over the years. Time just favored him.

His nose bridge is still high, only the contours of his cheeks are softer than when he was young. His jawline has the calmness of a mature man, and he looks like a real husband.

"Maybe I'm too impatient. How could my child be bad?"

Hearing that His Majesty was no longer concerned about this matter, Fei He felt a little relieved. His Majesty had been worried about His Highness's affairs recently, and as time went on, it became a burden to both of them.

"However, I have to prepare for what I told you before. Instead of letting her go out and be deceived by others, why not let me deceive her first? At least she will be on guard and won't be so foolish as to go out and do good things."
