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

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and His Highness have arrived safely at Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Secret guards are stationed throughout the mansion to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager and His Highness."

Liang Chongyue didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard this. She waved her hand to signal them to leave. She was just getting excited.

Liang Chongyue hadn't left the gate of the Yangxin Palace for five consecutive days. If Yun Ling hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten that she had to go and pick up her mother and Minglang today, as tomorrow would be the day for all nations to come and pay their respects.

"Please dress me up, just be casual."

It's too majestic and seems oppressive. Liang Chongyue finished reading two books in the past five days. He felt mentally satisfied and still wanted to have a good family dinner with his family.

"Yes."

After Liang Chongyue was dressed again, he changed his casual demeanor in the Yangxin Palace in the past few days. He tied his hair up high with a jade crown and put on a bright red dragon robe. Even though he looked lazy, the majesty between his brows did not diminish.

When they arrived at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the people inside had received the news long ago and were waiting at the door. When they saw His Majesty's palanquin arriving, they all knelt down.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother. Long live the Queen Mother."

"I and my family are here to pay our respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue stepped forward to help his grandfather up, and pulled Minglang up with him:

"I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, so there's no need to be so polite."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. The banquet is already prepared in the main hall. Please come this way."

Liang Chongyue walked in front. She was very familiar with everything in the Duke's Mansion and did not need anyone to lead the way. When she arrived at the main hall, she happened to meet her mother waiting there with a child in her arms.

There were still traces of dried tears on the child's face, and the puppy was pretending to sleep beside him. Liang Chongyue guessed what was going on without having to think.

"What happened to Yu'er?"

Liang Chongyue walked forward and stretched out her hand to tease the child's smooth little face twice. Xiang Yu knew who the person in front of him was. His grandparents had told him about this many times.

"See you, your majesty. May your majesty be blessed."

A crisp voice came out of the child's mouth, and the voice was still hoarse from crying, looking so pitiful.

"But the puppy bullied you? How about I help you teach it a lesson?"

Before Xiang Yu responded, the system became unhappy and stood up and walked to the host, looking directly at the stupid child sitting in the mother's arms.

It has been many years since the Queen Mother held it. This kid is very perceptive. As soon as the Queen Mother came to the Duke's Mansion, he started to pester the Queen Mother. He is only two years old, but he is not sensible at all and doesn't know how to feel sorry for the Queen Mother.

Xiang Yu pouted and turned his head away from the puppy's direct gaze. He leaned his head in the Empress Dowager's arms and sobbed softly, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Don't worry about him, cousin. This kid usually acts arrogantly in the house, and he behaves like this when the puppy comes. It's called one thing conquers another."

Xiang Zheng walked forward and wanted to take her son away, but the brat turned his face away and didn't look at her, and his hands holding his aunt's clothes tightened.

Xiang Zheng was helpless. Her son was immature, but she couldn't be ignorant either. Tonight's family dinner would bring glory to the Duke's Mansion, and she couldn't let this brat ruin it.

"Yu'er, come here, sister."

Xiang Zheng was just about to take Xiang Yu out of his aunt's arms when Sheng'er's voice rang out from the side.

Xiang Yu raised his head and took a peek at his sister's expression. Seeing that his sister was talking to him with a smile, he immediately became happy and wanted to get out of the Empress Dowager's arms and run towards his sister.

Xiang Huayue's arms felt a little sore after holding him for just a while. She really took good care of little Yu'er.

Her arms are white and tender, and in summer they look like lotus root nodes.

Liang Chongyue saw all of this. When Xiang Yu got off his mother, he chose the side that did not rely on the system. He didn't know what the system did to leave such a big shadow on this child.

With Xiang Sheng around, Xiang Yu is the most obedient child. He dares not go east or west when told to do so. He will follow his sister wherever she goes.

After this little farce ended, Liang Chongyue was invited to take a seat. This time, Li Yu'an was not with him. Since they were all family, his grandfather simply ordered someone to remove the screen in the middle.

Nowadays, women can also take the imperial examinations, and their status has risen. The Xiang family has always spoiled girls, and removing the screen makes them seem closer to each other.

Liang Chongyue only has one child, Minglang. After several of his uncles got married in recent years, looking at the seven or eight children aged five or six, seven or eight in this house, the family happiness is just like this.

On the carriage back to the palace, Liang Chongyue held the system's claw in one hand, while the other hand was held in Minglang's hand.

At the dinner table tonight, Minglang had a glass of osmanthus wine in front of him. It was originally a sweet wine with the lowest alcohol content, specially prepared for this group of mostly children. Unexpectedly, Minglang got greedy while drinking it.

When Liang Chongyue discovered him, Minglang's cheeks had already turned red. Fortunately, his mind was still clear. After getting on the carriage, he leaned softly on her shoulder and fell asleep.

"This osmanthus wine tonight is softer than before, unlike the kind the children are used to drinking."

Knowing that his mother was trying to make amends for Minglang, Liang Chongyue didn't care about these empty words.

"It seems Minglang has been very happy at home with his mother these past few days. It's okay if he indulges in a drink now and then."

In Liang Chongyue's heart, the Xiang family might be safer than the imperial palace.

Most of the servants and retainers of the Xiang family were veterans who had retired from the battlefield and their families. Each of them had voluntarily signed a contract to sell themselves and enter the Duke's Mansion.

Loyalty to the Xiang family cannot be bought with money.

Liang Chongyue used her cheek to measure the temperature of Minglang's forehead. Fortunately, he was just drunk. Maybe he could sleep more soundly after returning home.

"There are some things I've said that Minglang might overthink. Mother, please speak for me."

When it comes to educating children, Liang Chongyue and her mother have always played the good cop and the bad cop. When she said this, her mother understood and nodded slightly at her.

The two of them silently completed a conversation on the issue of Minglang education.

After returning to the palace, the carriage went all the way to the gate of the harem before stopping. Liang Chongyue personally sent the person back before returning to the Yangxin Palace.

The hot water had already been prepared. Liang Chongyue took a simple bath and went to bed. He had to get up early tomorrow. Although not as early as usual to go to court, he could not sleep until the 9th hour like he had done in the past few days.

The next morning, Liang Chongyue's biological clock woke her up. She sat in front of the dressing table and listened to Ping'an reading out the tributes and New Year gifts sent from various places one by one.

Most of them are specialties from various countries. After Liang Chongyue listened to them, there was no problem and they were directly put into storage. These are the same things every year, and Liang Chongyue can recite them by heart after listening to them.

Ping'an's voice stopped, and Liang Chongyue was already dressed and ready for breakfast.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Xiaowan sent a prince here this year, saying that she wants to marry into the Great Xia."

Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue, who was selecting a jade pendant, paused, not disguising his displeasure on his face.

"Marriage? Haha, I remember Xiaowan is not even as big as Cangzhou. They really dare to think of it."
