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

Minglang was held down by the Empress Dowager. He turned around and met the Empress Mother's gaze, which was as warm as water, like a pool of spring water that could melt everything in the world.

She is not as cruel as the rumors say. In front of her, the Queen Mother will always be the Queen Mother.

"Have you had a great time these days?"

The Queen Mother pulled Minglang's hand over. There were still scars on his hand from the hunting grounds. Medicine had been applied on it, but it still looked a little red and swollen.

"It's naturally a pleasure to play with someone. Queen Mother, please don't look at me. These are just minor injuries. They will heal with care."

Liang Chongyue's fingers slid gently across her palm. Minglang didn't react at all when the wound was touched. It seemed that it had almost healed.

"Just have fun. Today, the beauty from Qiemo is here to look for you. You should go take care of it if you have nothing to do these days."

Minglang thought that the Queen Mother had something important to talk to her about today, but she didn't expect it was just because of this.

"Yes, I'll go tomorrow."

These days, Minglang took Xiang Ke and a few others to the racecourse to have fun day and night. When they were tired, they went to a village outside Beijing to soak in the hot springs. The group of little girls gathered together to play and make noise, having a lot of fun.

"How is Xiang Ke feeling recently? I haven't seen her in the palace for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing recently."

When Liang Chongyue learned that his grandfather was planning to take Xiang Ke to the Taihang Mountains for hard training, he sent people to investigate. It was found that the Taihang Mountains were full of tigers and were extremely dangerous.

However, she couldn't interfere too much with her grandfather's decision. Even if she found out these things, she could only hope that her grandfather would decide to take Xiang Ke into the mountains and make preparations.

No matter how many tigers there are in Taihang Mountains, my grandfather can protect them and will not let Xiang Ke be in any danger.

"Ake has been in good spirits recently. She's already prepared to go into the mountains for hard training after my coming-of-age ceremony. She's already prepared some of the necessary herbs and powders, and the rest of the Dingguo Mansion has been prepared and sent to Taihang Mountain."

Liang Chongyue was not worried about these things. Even if she didn't ask, Minglang would have prepared them.

"Okay, I've left you alone these days, letting you take Xiang Ke on a trip. Once the coming-of-age ceremony is over, it's time to focus on your studies. There are still many government affairs waiting for you to attend to at court."

Even if the Queen Mother didn't say these things, Minglang understood. She rarely appeared in the court these days, and she didn't even go to the morning court. The Queen Mother never cared about her.

"Yes."

Liang Chongyue didn't want to talk too much nonsense. She believed that Minglang was a sensible child and it would be enough to indulge him for a while.

She cannot be slack in government affairs. She must slowly learn to grasp the situation in the court and deal with those old guys in the court as soon as possible. After a few years, the tricks of those old guys will be nothing in front of her.

They are nothing but tricks for fame and fortune. When Minglang can see through these people's methods, she won't need to teach her at all. The power granted by the imperial authority will teach her to use these people's methods to accomplish her own things.

"Okay, go back and rest early."

Liang Chongyue didn't mention the matter of a group of girls going out to play again, which was also a clear indication to Minglang that it was almost time for him to focus.

The next morning, Minglang appeared in the court and accompanied his mother to court. Everything was the same as before, except that she had cleaned up the court and the vacant position had not been filled by a new person.

After the morning court session, Liang Chongyue returned to the Yangxin Palace and casually mentioned this matter.

"The Ministry of Personnel is overwhelmed with work, and the vacancies need to be filled as soon as possible. Do you have any viable candidates?"

Minglang put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then mentioned two names in front of the Queen Mother.

"I've met both of them during this year's Spring Examination. They're both intelligent and disciplined individuals, so I think they can be promoted and used first."

Liang Chongyue nodded silently:

"If you think it's good, use it first. If you don't have any ideas for the remaining vacant positions, I'll arrange them for you."

Liang Chongyue originally wanted to handle this small matter together with Minglang, but the child had reservations.

Hesitation would lead to losses. Liang Chongyue waved his hand and decided on several names for promotion.

"Let's pass it on during tomorrow's morning court session. It's a waste of time to leave the official position vacant."

"Yes."

The imperial edict was received safely and will be conveyed early the next morning.

After Minglang finished his meal, he reviewed the memorials in the Yangxin Palace before leaving, but he did not go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"Send a message to A Ke. I have something to do today so I'll be there later. If she wants to play, she can go by herself."

Minglang was busy with government affairs, and her indulgence these days was considered a special favor from the Queen Mother because she saw that A Ke was about to go into the mountains to practice hard.

The two imperial edicts were placed on the small table in the carriage. The guards who received the orders withdrew and the carriage wobbled to the post station.

Minglang hadn't been here for a few days, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he smelled a strong scent of spices.

Unlike the light floral and fruity fragrance commonly used by noble ladies in the capital, it has an extremely pungent smell, very sweet, and greasy.

Minglang frowned slightly, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and slowly got used to the strong sweet fragrance.

Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the sweet fragrance, which was mixed with a faint medicinal scent.

"Which country's delegation brought this strange fragrance?"

Minglang didn't even want to enter the gate of the inn. The smell was so strong outside, and it would only be stronger inside.

"Your Highness, yesterday two beauties entered the post station one after the other. This strange fragrance was not there when they arrived. It only appeared early this morning. We are not sure where it came from."

His bright eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked towards the gate of the post station with an unclear look, and handed the imperial edict in his hand directly to the guard beside him.

"Send someone to take them away today, tie their hands and feet, and escort them out of Daxia."

When he came here today, Minglang had originally thought of going in personally to persuade these people to leave. Now, who knows what kind of monsters are in this post station, going in now would be like walking himself into a trap.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Minglang stood beside the carriage. The fragrance made her dizzy and her vision went dark. If there was no one supporting her, she would have felt dizzy when walking and might have fallen to the ground.

"Hurry up and go back to the palace."

Minglang clenched his hands tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, so hard that blood dripped onto the ground. He was helped into the carriage.

In the carriage, Minglang curled up in a corner. Basins of ice were brought into the carriage. She immersed her hands and feet in the ice buckets, which temporarily relieved the heat in her body.

Although she has not experienced the world of sex yet, it would be foolish for her not to understand what is happening to her now.

His rationality returned, and Minglang looked at the post station through the carriage curtain blown by the wind with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Tie them all up, don't rush to send them away."

She wanted to see who had the guts to drug her.
