This year's heavy snow lasted for a few days but stopped for a few days. Through the light and shadow outside the window, Liang Chongyue could see large flakes of snow falling.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year will definitely be a year of good harvest."

Liang Chongyue had just been distracted for a while when his mother urged him to continue making moves. Looking at the chess game that had already been decided, Liang Chongyue smiled and changed the position of the black piece that was supposed to be placed so that the game could last longer.

"I only hope that the people's harvests will get better year by year. That's all."

Food is the most important thing for people. For ordinary people, happiness is to have enough food and warm clothes and live a simple life.

"The Queen Mother will surely achieve her wish."

Liang Chongyue glanced in Minglang's direction and saw that she lowered her head and continued reading after she finished speaking. The mother and daughter didn't even look at each other.

The system collapsed at Minglang's feet out of boredom. It was raining heavily outside. In order to reduce Iris's workload, the system was confined to the house for the past few days and was not allowed to leave the house except for the toilet.

It looks like it's going to get sick from being idle.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has sent over the auspicious date for the ice skating event."

Little Leo's voice sounded, and after Liang Chongyue dropped a child, he reached behind him and a booklet fell into his hand.

Liang Chongyue opened it, took a look, then closed it and put it aside:

"Since it's a good day calculated, let's do it."

Liang Chongyue has watched ice skating for many years, but perhaps because she is afraid of the cold, she has lost interest in it. If it weren't for the fact that etiquette cannot be abolished, she would have wanted to stop it.

"I won't be going this year, but everything else will continue as usual."

"Yes, I will pass it on right away."

After Little Leo left, Liang Chongyue lowered his eyes and met a pair of bright little green eyes.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory determined that the sixth day of the first lunar month was an auspicious day, and scheduled the ice skating festivities for that day. Queen Mother, you can take Minglang with you on the sixth day of the first lunar month; she enjoys festivities."

The snow outside seemed to be getting heavier, and Liang Chongyue held the heater tighter in his hand as he spoke.

Xiang Huayue had watched Chongyue go through all the hardships and dangers along the way, and was very familiar with Chongyue's several old illnesses. Naturally, he knew why Chongyue didn't go.

"Well, then, Queen Mother, take Minglang with you. I'm sure you've been very busy those few days."

During those days, Liang Chongyue also had to worship his ancestors, so he was busy all day long. He also had to take half a day off to watch ice skating. He didn't know when this busy New Year would be over.

"Wang Wang Wang."

The puppy quickly got up from the ground, walked to the queen mother, and rubbed her legs with his furry head. When he saw the queen mother looking at him, he simply stretched his head over and rubbed it in her hand.

Liang Chongyue looked at it acting like a spoiled child and thought it was such a dog.

"Take the puppy with you. Don't worry, how could you forget the puppy?"

Xiang Huayue gently touched the puppy's head. Its ears felt very good, so Xiang Huayue started to rub them.

The puppy did not try to hide, but stood there quietly, letting its mother pet him to her heart's content.

"Chongyue, the puppy is over 20 years old this year, right? This is the first time I've seen such a long-lived puppy."

When Liang Chongyue heard the queen mother mention the puppy's age, he and the puppy exchanged glances, which were clearly evasive.

"Maybe it's because it's been with me for so long and has been stained with my dragon energy, so it's considered lucky."

Liang Chongyue jokingly grabbed the system's mouthpiece, and was not annoyed when it shook her off. She just smiled and watched it noisily trying to get into the Queen Mother's hands.

"Your Majesty is not wrong. You little dog even dodged it. I don't know how many people envy you."

Xiang Huayue grabbed the puppy's mouth as a punishment, looked into its small eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble here. I just want to laugh when I see your eyes."

The system was not at all upset by the Queen Mother's teasing. It had been bored for several days. The host was afraid of the cold and didn't even go out of the gate of the Yangxin Palace. Only when the Queen Mother and Minglang came over, there was some life in the Yangxin Palace.

The system stood on the low steps beside the Arhat bed with its two front paws, blinking its little eyes at the Queen Mother as if it were in an opera, and its little eyes flickered very quickly.

Liang Chongyue watched the system perform funny tricks from the side, and amused his mother so much that she even forgot to play chess.

"It's your turn, mother. If you don't make a move now, you will lose to me."

Xiang Huayue's thoughts were pulled back by Chongyue's reminder. His left hand was still rubbing the puppy's head, while his right hand was already holding the stick, thinking about where to put it.

Liang Chongyue waited for a while and thought of several possible positions where the queen mother might place the piece, but he saw the queen mother pick up the white piece and put it down again.

"Forget it. Anyway, the Queen Mother can't beat you. Let's just leave it at that. The little dog will please the Queen Mother better than this chess game."

After saying that, Xiang Huayue put the white piece back and signaled for everyone to put away the chessboard.

Liang Chongyue also put the black piece back, feeling that her mother had something else to say, not that she was talking about the chess game, but about her.

Liang Chongyue had no choice. She really hadn't gone to the Cining Palace to pay her respects in the past few days. Her mother had sent people to invite her several times, but she had refused to go. She really didn't want to go out. She felt her bones were cold if she was exposed to the cold wind for a while longer.

This feeling is so serious that I don't know how to express it. It makes my mother worry for no reason.

"I haven't been feeling well these past few days. After the New Year, when the weather warms up, I will pay my respects to my mother every day, without missing a single day."

Xiang Huayue didn't take this matter to heart at first, but she felt sorry for Chongyue's poor health at such a young age.

"Okay, mother is not angry. This winter is indeed very cold. The Imperial Examination Hall is not even as cold as the Imperial Palace. I'm afraid the candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam this year will suffer from the cold."

Liang Chongyue also thought about what her mother was worried about. The temperature this year was indeed lower than in previous years, but she couldn't take care of everyone in the world. She had done everything she could, and she believed that the candidates could do the rest.

When the Queen Mother and Minglang left the Yangxin Palace, it had already darkened outside. Liang Chongyue stood at the door of the main hall and watched the Queen Mother and Minglang leave. He looked up at the sky and saw snowflakes falling heavily. It had been a long time since the capital had seen such heavy snow.

"Add three more patrols to the patrols, rotate them around, and set up a few more porridge stalls."

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, but every year when it snows heavily, people freeze to death on the roadsides all over Daxia.

This is all she can do. She cannot take care of everything, and the people cannot expect her to do everything.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Ping An left the Yangxin Palace in the heavy snow holding an umbrella. Liang Chongyue saw that he was already wearing a lot of clothes, but after walking away, his figure still looked so thin.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Go back and don't catch a cold."

After getting used to the cold wind outside, it didn't seem so cold anymore. A snowflake was blown under the eaves by the wind. Liang Chongyue reached out to catch it, but the snowflake flew away when it was about to fall on his hand, and he didn't catch anything.
