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

According to rituals, Liang Chongyue had to accept the worship of concubines and ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony from the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Apart from offering sacrifices to ancestors, he did not have many days of leisure in the following days.

Liang Chongyue simply changed the etiquette. After lunch, he accepted the worship of concubines and court officials, and wrote twenty Chinese characters for "Fu" with a flourish of his brush and distributed them to them.

By the time these people had dispersed, it was already getting late.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing again, and we still have to go and pay homage to the late emperor today."

Liang Chongyue gathered his cloak in front of him, walked into the heavy snow, and headed towards the ancestral temple specially set up in the imperial palace. This time, Liang Chongyue only brought Minglang with him as before.

"When you get there, tell your grandfather about your harvest this year. He might be pleased to hear it."

Liang Chongyue was holding a pot of hot wine in her hand. She didn't know when this habit started, but whenever she had some free time, she would drink and talk in front of her scumbag father's tablet.

The dead cannot speak. What they cannot say to others, they can say to the tablet.

"Yes, I know."

The ancestral temple was built in a dense forest. The snow in the forest had not been cleared yet. The guards on duty outside saw the two figures from afar and knew who was coming.

Silence must be maintained near the ancestral temple, and guards can only salute and not speak.

Liang Chongyue took Minglang into the ancestral temple, where tablets of emperors of all dynasties of Daxia were enshrined.

"Go pour some wine for your royal grandfather and ancestors."

Minglang took the hot wine from the Queen Mother. The cold air in the ancestral temple was still filled with sandalwood. When the hot wine was poured out, a layer of hot steam floated around and soon dissipated into the air.

Liang Chongyue lit the incense himself, first bowed to the ancestral tablet, then lit another stick of incense and kowtowed to the tablet of his scumbag father.

"Father, I have governed Great Xia very well. Peace reigns supreme. Everything is moving in the direction you wish. If you could see this, you would surely be pleased."

Incense burning in his hand, Liang Chongyue knelt on the mat, looking at someone with a cold look through the tablet.

Minglang stood waiting by the side, holding a tray of hot wine.

Liang Chongyue spoke to the tablet for a while, then stood up and lit the incense. He took the hot wine from Minglang and poured the hot wine while chanting the posthumous titles of his ancestors.

The cold air in the ancestral temple was filled with the aroma of wine. Liang Chongyue drank the last glass himself.

"I'll be waiting for you outside to talk to your grandfather."

Liang Chongyue stood up and went out, leaving the space inside to Minglang.

There is a tablet for my scumbag father behind the curtain in the inner hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I have usually said most of what I wanted to say under the influence of alcohol, but now I have nothing to say.

Liang Chongyue left the ancestral temple. There was a set of stone tables and stone benches outside. The snow on them had been cleared away, but the snowflakes that had just fallen were still on them.

Liang Chongyue walked forward and saw a thin layer of snowflakes accumulated on the ground, which showed how heavy the snow was today.

Seeing His Majesty approaching, the guards on duty stepped forward and cleaned all the snowflakes on the stone table and stone bench. After Liang Chongyue sat down, a pot of hot tea was brought to him. Liang Chongyue drank the tea and waited for Minglang to come out.

A quarter of an hour later, Minglang packed up the wine utensils and came out.

"Mother Queen."

Hearing Minglang's voice, Liang Chongyue put down the teacup, turned around, stood up and led Minglang back.

The two parted ways in the harem. Liang Chongyue had to go to Kunning Palace tonight. It was not convenient to bring Minglang with her according to the rules.

Liang Chongyue still had sandalwood on her, and when she arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, she saw Li Yu'an already waiting there.

"It's so cold, didn't I tell you not to wait outside?"

Li Yu'an handed a hand warmer to His Majesty and walked inside affectionately holding His Majesty's hand.

"I know Your Majesty will come tonight, and I want to see Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Li Yu'an has always been like this, and Liang Chongyue can only say a few words to him, he will not change.

Walking into the main hall of Kunning Palace, where Li Yu'an was, Yun Ling could not catch up with any work of serving Liang Chongyue. There was always a figure following His Majesty like a shadow.

It was Li Yu'an who untied Liang Chongyue's cloak and washed her hands.

After washing his hands with hot water, Liang Chongyue's hands felt warm, and his feet soon became warm as he stepped on the heated floor of Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Would you like it to be served?"

"Pass it on."

After the meal, Liang Chongyue could already tell which dishes were made by Li Yu'an himself and which were prepared and sent by the chefs in the imperial kitchen.

Liang Chongyue looked at Li Yu'an helplessly, but he had nothing to be embarrassed about. He didn't take her words to heart and even smiled as he picked up the prepared dishes for her to eat.

Liang Chongyue simply stopped talking. Perhaps one day he would get tired and stop insisting.

"Yuan's craftsmanship is still so good."

After the meal, Liang Chongyue gave some symbolic praise.

Li Yu'an had a sweet smile on his face tonight. In previous years, at this time, they would hold a family dinner in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he was far away from His Majesty. But today, he could sit next to His Majesty and have a meal with him on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was just the two of them.

Such happiness is rare, and Li Yuan cherishes it especially.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. If you like it, I will cook it for you often in the future."

Liang Chongyue smiled silently and did not respond. Looking at Li Yu'an's sparkling eyes when he looked at her, she knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Your Majesty, have you used it?"

After Li Yu'an helped His Majesty rinse his mouth with tea, only the tenderness of admiration remained on his face, and his eyes were full of piercing affection, as if he wanted to eat His Majesty alive.

Seeing this, Yun Ling understood the current situation very clearly. After giving his men a few glances, he cleaned up the place and then retreated.

"Most of the items on this table were made by Yu'an herself. I am so lucky to have such a powerful and virtuous queen like Yu'an. I never show off to them, for fear that they will envy me."

Liang Chongyue held Li Yu'an's face and kissed him gently.

There haven't been any new men in her harem for ten years. These people seem to have taken some elixir of immortality. Apart from being more charming, there seems to be no other changes. Each of them is still very energetic.

Li Yuan rubbed his face against the palm of His Majesty's hand, tilted his head and placed a kiss on the palm of His Majesty's hand:

"Your Majesty, who am I thinking of? Your Majesty is so distracted."

Li Yuan's accusing voice pulled Liang Chongyue back to her senses. Facing those tender eyes, she spoke the truth, as if possessed by a ghost:

"I was wondering why the Queen is still the same as when she was young, even though Minglang has grown up."

After more than ten years of companionship, Li Yu'an was certain that His Majesty was thinking of more than just him. When these old witches in His Majesty's harem were not around, they became more and more aggressive, fearing that they would not be loved by His Majesty when they were old, and would have to stay alone in the empty room from then on.
