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

Xiang Huayue leaned on Chunchan's body to gain support and stood up: "The incense burnt this morning is really beautiful, shaped like a lotus, a very auspicious sign."

She didn't believe in metaphysics, but no one would dislike such a good omen.

"Today is His Royal Highness Prince Bao's coming-of-age ceremony. Even Heaven is pleased."

The entire capital city was bustling with activity today. Candles were lit before dawn at all the gates that allowed people to enter the palace to attend Prince Bao's coming-of-age ceremony. Porridge shops were set up in the east and west markets of the capital and in several places in the suburbs for a period of one month.

Liang Chongyue had already ordered the exemption of taxes for this year. Now, if you just take a walk along Chang'an Avenue in the capital, you will easily find that the faces of the people on the street are full of happy smiles.

"Is Minglang up now?"

When Xiang Huayue was dressing up, she remembered that Minglang had taken it to the backyard last night, and she thought she would have to stay up late again.

"Your Highness got up early this morning and should be in the Xuande Hall now."

Hearing this, Xiang Huayue nodded in satisfaction: "Isn't that the gorgeous dark gold suit Minglang is wearing?"

"To answer your Majesty, that's exactly what you said."

Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the prepared gorgeous clothes, and the size was just right. The gorgeous clothes that were made for His Majesty under his personal supervision that year, His Majesty was unable to wear them due to size issues. Now that Minglang has put them on, it seems as if His Majesty is standing in front of her again when he just came of age.

"Good good."

Xiang Huayue specially changed into the gorgeous clothes that His Majesty wore when he conferred the title of Crown Princess. After so many years, the embroiderers' skills in the Imperial Household Department have improved, and the gorgeous clothes have not only been well preserved but also improved.

"When your Majesty puts on this, I feel like I've returned to the old days. Time flies by so fast."

Chun Chan stood beside the empress and watched, with complicated emotions in his eyes, but the smile on his lips was the most sincere.

"The children are all grown up. Maybe in a few years, I'll even be able to hold my great-granddaughter in my arms."

Xiang Huayue smiled and sighed, saying that this life was just like being a child. After Minglang grew up, the palace was no longer as lively as before.

The scenes of a room full of girls laughing and playing were all seven or eight years ago.

Later, the girls grew up and were restrained in front of her. She understood this, but she couldn't help but miss Minglang's childhood.

"Yes, may the Empress Dowager live a thousand years. It will be a grand spectacle with four generations living under one roof."

Xiang Huayue was amused and pointed at Chunchan, scolding him, "You old bastard, are you missing your great-granddaughter again?"

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh again, Madam."

As soon as Liang Chongyue entered the Cining Palace, he heard laughter coming from the main hall. It seemed that his mother was in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

The people inside heard the noise and stopped laughing for a moment. Liang Chongyue strode in and as soon as he entered, he saw his mother's appearance, which was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

Over the years, she has been buying various high-quality tonics from the system mall to nourish her mother's body. As she grows older, there are few signs of time on her mother's face.

"My son, please send my regards to your mother. May your mother be blessed with peace and blessings."

Xiang Huayue's hairstyle was not done yet, so she couldn't go up to help Liang Chongyue up herself. She could only raise her hand to signal her to get up.

"How is it? The clothes you wore today were the ones you received the title. I will wear them again to witness your coronation today."

Liang Chongyue's thoughts were brought back to the past by a piece of clothing. His mother's appearance was more graceful than before, and the sadness in her eyes was gone. The happy and comfortable life over the years had made her eyes relaxed and she looked more youthful than before.

"It's beautiful, as stunning as the goddess of Luo River descending to earth."

"My mother is already very old. If the goddess Luoshen heard this, she would be furious."

Faced with his mother's self-mockery, Liang Chongyue just smiled and said nothing. After washing his hands, he stepped forward to put a hairpin on his mother.

"I am the Emperor on Earth, and you are my Queen Mother. It is a blessing for her, the Goddess of Luo River, to be praised by me."

Liang Chongyue was as arrogant as before. She was the emperor of this earth, and it didn't matter if her mother called herself the Queen Mother.

Liang Chongyue personally put on the hairpin for her mother. Since Minglang was born, she has learned how to tie her hair.

"In the past, I was the one who provided for you and Minglang. Now it is my turn to enjoy the blessing of Your Majesty."

Xiang Huayue looked behind her through the bronze mirror. She saw the emperor whose brows and eyes showed majesty, but his gaze was gentle.

Her Majesty really looks like her father.

"There will be more blessings like this in the future, so mother should get used to it as soon as possible."

The morning court was cancelled, and Liang Chongyue got up earlier than usual today. After washing and dressing, she came to the Cining Palace. Looking at the faint dark circles under her mother's eyes, she knew that she did not sleep well last night.

"Today, I will help my mother put on her makeup."

On such a glorious day, ordinary makeup would certainly not be able to cover up the dark circles under the Queen Mother's eyes.

While putting makeup on the Queen Mother, Liang Chongyue's hands were covered with makeup powder bought from the system mall. She was sure to make the Queen Mother look radiant so that she could attend the coming-of-age ceremony in the best possible manner.

After all the makeup and hair were done, Liang Chongyue looked at her mother in the bronze mirror. Such a stunning beauty would still be a beauty even in her fifties.

"Go see where Minglang is now? Ask her to come have breakfast with us."

The small kitchen prepared an extremely sumptuous breakfast today. The chefs in the small kitchen had watched His Royal Highness Prince Bao grow up, and knowing that today was His Royal Highness's coming-of-age ceremony, they had already thought about what to cook for lunch early in the morning.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Liang Chongyue sat beside her mother and chatted with her. Xiang Huayue looked at her gorgeous black dress and remembered what Chunchan said this morning:

"Minglang also wore a dark gold dress today. We are mother and daughter after all. When Minglang put on the dark gold dress that you couldn't wear before and stood in front of me, it was as if I saw you from the past."

Liang Chongyue knew about this. She received the news yesterday when the Ministry of Internal Affairs was working hard.

"Minglang is even more studious than I was when I was young. He is like me now, and he will definitely be better than me in the future."

"She was taught by you, and she will definitely be the same as you in the future."

As soon as Minglang walked into the main hall, she heard the Queen Mother's approval of her. She felt happy, but she didn't dare to respond.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager bypassed this issue, and Minglang waited there for a while before stepping in.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Mother. Long live the Empress Mother. Your grandson pays his respects to the Empress Grandmother. May she live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years."

Seeing her coming, they both stood up:

"Alright, get up quickly. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. It's a grand ceremony, so make sure you have a good breakfast."

Minglang obediently stepped forward to help Grandma Huang up and walked her to the dining room.

"I smelled the fragrance coming from the study as soon as I woke up this morning. Just the smell whets my appetite. I must eat more this morning."

The round table in the dining room was filled with all kinds of Minglang's favorite dishes and snacks. As soon as she sat down, two pairs of chopsticks picked up her favorite dishes and placed them on the plate in front of her almost at the same time.

"Your grandmother is right. You must eat a full breakfast today, otherwise you will be hungry during the ceremony."
