The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 845 Guan Shanxue
Minglang has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and the Queen Mother's move has made it clear that even if Minglang doesn't want to take them with him, he can't.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Queen Mother. I understand."
Liang Chongyue sent people out for secret training for a whole year, and it was time to test the results.
"Don't worry, they won't let you down."
Minglang met the Queen Mother's determined gaze and could only agree with a smile.
She knew that everything her mother did was for her own good, and she shouldn't and couldn't refuse.
On the night of the coming-of-age ceremony, the palace was still ablaze with lights. Unlike the palace banquet at noon today, the family banquet in the evening was scheduled in two locations.
Minglang and his study companions set up a banquet in Zhaoyang Palace, where a group of children played freely without being bound by palace rules.
The other group was scheduled to be held in the Xuande Hall. The luxurious setting remained the same, but the number of people fortunate enough to attend the palace banquet tonight was half that of the number at noon.
"Today is Minglang's coming-of-age day. The children are not here, so please don't be restrained. Join me in raising your glasses and drinking."
Liang Chongyue sat in the seat at the top. Tonight, those sitting in Xuande Hall were all second-rank and above ministers and generals in the court, as well as several royal relatives and dukes, all of whom were his own people. On such a good day, even Liang Chongyue's face, which was usually serious in front of the court officials, was full of smiles.
The atmosphere in Xuande Hall was cheerful and relaxed, and everyone was happy for His Royal Highness Prince Bao's coming of age and his enthronement as Crown Princess.
After a palace banquet, Liang Chongyue listened to Ping An's report on Ming Lang's situation:
"Your Majesty, in Zhaoyang Palace, His Highness and several young ladies are still drinking and chatting happily, composing poems under the moon."
The implication was that those girls were all drunk. Liang Chongyue, who had a clear alcohol tolerance, knew this. She, who loved drinking so much, gave birth to a daughter who never drank.
Jiang Jiaoyun and the others are back today. After not seeing them for a year, Minglang was inevitably happy and drank too much.
"Clean up Zhaoyang Palace and serve carefully."
Prime Minister Jiang hadn't seen Jiaoyun for a long time. Jiaoyun returned home yesterday and had a meal at home. Today, she entered the palace and got drunk with the Princess Royal. Seeing that His Majesty had made all the arrangements, Prime Minister Jiang held back his thoughts of taking Jiaoyun home.
It is a good thing that Jiaoyun has gained the attention of Her Royal Highness the Princess and is in the Jiang family. The child is in the palace and not in the wild at the border, so she is very safe.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Jiang felt relieved, but he didn't know how to respond to the old woman's nagging when he returned.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's stop here today. I won't keep you any longer."
Liang Chongyue stood up, flicked his clothes, and the black dragon robe spread out on the spot, and walked out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Everyone was kneeling in the Xuande Hall. Liang Chongyue knew that his mother and the Xiang family still had something to talk about. After leaving the Xuande Hall, he stood in the yard and smelled the relatively fresh air. He felt that most of the smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated.
"Minglang, are they all drunk?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang and Miss Xiang are not here yet. Your Highness and the other ladies have already been sent back to their rooms to rest."
Hearing this, Liang Chongyue thought for a while and sat on the dragon chariot:
"Go to Zhaoyang Palace."
At this time in Zhaoyang Palace, Jiang Jiaoyun looked at Xiang Ke, whose eyes were already a little dazed. She tried to take the wine jug from her hand several times, but she avoided him every time.
"Sister, you finally came back. You don't know how much Your Highness and I missed you during the year you were away."
Xiang Ke was lying on the table holding a wine jug, his cheeks flushed and his lips rosy. There seemed to be resentment in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Jiaoyun, but more of it was the longing for her after not seeing her for a long time.
"You left as soon as you said you would. It was like we had agreed on this for the past year. Even the letters you sent back were only one a month, not more. Just now, when I was changing my clothes, I saw a wound on your back. Where have you been all this year?"
Jiang Jiaoyun sat opposite Xiang Ke and watched her talking to herself like a little drunk. Tears came down as she spoke, but she still held the wine jug tightly and took a sip from it from time to time.
The wine dripped down his chin onto his collar. Before he could say the explanation he had been holding in his heart, Xiang Ke got him drunk.
The wine jug fell to the ground with a sound, and all the words of explanation were completely suppressed in his heart and there was no need to say them anymore.
"Go and take Miss Xiang back to the house and let her lie down on the bed and have a good rest."
His Majesty's sudden appearance startled Jiang Jiaoyun. She had already left Qingyu Pavilion, and she didn't even hear the footsteps of His Majesty when he appeared with his men.
Jiang Jiaoyun bowed and her eyes quickly swept over the few people who came in with His Majesty. They were all old people around His Majesty. As expected, His Majesty was surrounded by many experts.
"My lord, please see your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue approached and smelled a faint aroma of wine. Several young girls gathered together to drink, and the wine carried the aroma of flowers and fruits.
"Drinking Guanshanxue?"
Liang Chongyue picked up a wine jug and smelled it. Beneath the clear aroma of wine, he could also smell a faint sweet fruit scent, the kind that Xiang Ke would like.
"Yes."
Xiang Ke had been helped down by Yun Ling. Liang Chongyue lowered his head to glance at the somewhat messy table.
"Come sit with me in the pavilion for a while."
She drank a little too much tonight. Minglang had grown up and everything was going according to her expectations, so she couldn't help but drink too much when she was happy.
The two sat in the pavilion, and the sobering tea was served. Liang Chongyue took a sip first.
"Don't be nervous. I watched you grow up. You are the one I value most among all of you."
The granddaughter of Prime Minister Jiang is knowledgeable, skilled in martial arts, and comes from a good family. Prime Minister Jiang is also lucky. Although his two sons are not as successful as him, his granddaughter is ambitious and her words and deeds are very similar to him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiaoyun lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, but her eyes were as bright as stars.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your high regard. I dare not slack off."
"You don't have to hide your whereabouts over the past year from Minglang. She'll find out eventually. It's better for you to tell her than for her to find out on her own."
Minglang is still young and can't stand being deceived by her good friend. Although it is not a big deal, there is no need to let this matter become a barrier between them.
"Yes, I understand."
Liang Chongyue looked at Jiang Jiaoyun's pretty little face. She had the skin of an oriental woman and the bones of a Guanyin, but she was the most ruthless fighter in Qingyu Pavilion. She did great things silently. Even if her body was chopped to the point that her bones were visible, she would not even make a sound. She would not admit defeat until she had defeated her enemy.
"In a few days, I will arrange for Minglang to lead the troops westward. All of you, except Xiang Ke, must accompany him."
Jiang Jiaoyun's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, but she quickly realized that His Majesty was preparing to let Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess lead the army westward to attack the small country in the Western Regions. She had been in Qingyu Pavilion before and didn't know what was happening in the capital.
However, even if the small countries in the Western Regions unite, they cannot defeat Daxia. The reason why His Majesty decided to send troops to attack the small countries in the Western Regions must not be as simple as just wanting to use them as a training ground for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
