Xiang Huayue looked at the court robes on the table in deep thought. For a moment, she was unsure how much weight Minglang had lost during this period of time.

"If your majesty is still undecided, why not take a look at what's been prepared for the puppy?"

Aunt Chunchan picked up a pile of gorgeous clothes from the small table on the other side.

There are pictures of dragons and tigers embroidered on it.

Xiang Huayue casually picked up a navy blue dress that was shorter than usual.

His Majesty knew that the puppy was injured on the battlefield and had all the hair on its back shaved off, so he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do this.

"Why don't you give these to the puppy to try out first, and then let His Highness try on the clothes when the princess comes?"

"Well, now I can only try it on the puppy."

The system collapsed on the ground with lifeless eyes, watching the Queen Mother walk in from outside.

"Is the puppy still not doing well?"

As soon as Xiang Huayue saw the puppy, she couldn't help but worry.

The system was somewhat aware of it, and it stood up from the ground, ran happily towards the queen mother, and rubbed its head on the palm of her hand.

"The doctor said the puppy is fine. He may not be in good spirits because he didn't see the queen just now."

Upon hearing this, the system nodded in agreement.

"Then it's a good opportunity to try these clothes on the puppy first."

The system was confused and watched as a young eunuch put the clothes on the table.

The Queen Mother took up the top piece and spread it out before it.

This dress looks so strange. Why is it shorter than the ones it has seen before?

The system curiously circled around the clothes, its confused look making everyone in the room laugh.

"The puppy knows that this piece of clothing is made for it. It really understands human nature."

Aunt Chunchan was praising the puppy while Xiang Huayue picked up the clothes one by one and tried them on the puppy.

"This one's color is too dark, and this one's a bit light. Pick out a few more colorful ones."

Xiang Huayue tried several pieces on the puppy but was not satisfied with any of them.

The clothes that looked good before, when compared with the clothes in front of the puppy, always seem not as cute after the puppy puts them on.

"How about this peach pink one? The puppy has white fur and is so cute. This peach pink color is just like the flowers blooming on the big koelreuteria tree in the imperial garden."

Xiang Huayue was holding a green piece of clothing in her hand. She lowered her eyes to look at the clothes in Chunchan's hand, and after a brief moment of contemplation.

"This color is great. It makes the puppy look even whiter."

The turquoise clothes that were just in her hand were placed on the table.

"Then try this one first."

The system stood there obediently, not expecting that it would have new clothes to wear when it came back this time.

If you ask it to raise its left paw, it will raise its left paw. If you ask it to raise its right paw, it will raise its right paw.

When Aunt Chunchan was about to tie the button on its neck, it raised its big head high, looking very proud.

"It looks a bit bigger, the puppy is really thin."

As soon as he put on his clothes, the system rushed to the bronze mirror in the inner hall impatiently.

Looking left and right, looking at the posture, I wish I could get into the mirror to see it clearly.

The people who followed behind him saw this scene and laughed out loud.

Xiang Huayue put one hand on Chunchan's hand and laughed so hard that her back couldn't straighten.

"Oh my, this little dog looks like a little man."

The puppy has heard such praise many times since he was a child.

It was still immersed in the beauty of its own appearance in new clothes and couldn't extricate itself.

Only after he had thoroughly admired her did he remember to act coquettishly to his mother.

He jumped around the queen mother several times before being forced to stop.

"You're right. When the puppy wears this, he really looks like a flower blooming on a Chinese koelreuteria tree."

Liang Chongyue brought Minglang home from the morning court session and without much conversation on the way, they headed towards the Cining Palace.

As soon as I entered the gate of Cining Palace, I heard my mother's laughter coming from the main hall.

"Your grandmother hasn't been this happy in a long time since you left for the war."

Hearing his mother's hearty laughter, Liang Chongyue's mood improved.

"It is my fault for being unfilial. I will go and apologize to the Empress Dowager in a moment."

Liang Chongyue walked in front and chuckled.

"That's not necessary. You have conquered two cities in a row. You are a hero of Daxia."

"Your grandmother just misses you too much. When you come back this time, spend some time with her first. We can talk about traveling after a month."

Whatever the Queen Mother says, she will definitely do it, Minglang believes in this matter without a doubt.

"Yes, then I will spend this month with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

The child is grown up and cannot be kept. In the past six months since Minglang went on the expedition, Liang Chongyue has told her mother several times that she is going out to travel.

The Queen Mother has also been vaccinated.

I think if Minglang goes out to travel for two or three years and doesn't come back, the Queen Mother's reaction will not be as big as this time.

"What are you laughing at? So happy? Tell me about it."

Liang Chongyue came in with laughter, and as soon as she came in, she saw the puppy showing off.

The few people who were originally looking at the puppy with admiration, including the puppy, turned around with their eyes shining when they heard the sound.

But the puppy was directed at her, and the eyes of the others were all on Minglang.

"Grandson apologizes to the Empress Dowager. I've been gone for half a year and made her worried. I'm unfilial."

Xiang Huayue's face was frozen with laughter because of the puppy just now, and now when she saw Minglang, tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What have you done wrong? Get up, get up."

Liang Chongyue stood aside and watched the reunion of the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren. With a glance, only a few palace servants who usually served them were left in the main hall.

"Come and let the Empress take a good look. Are you injured anywhere?"

Knowing that Minglang only reported good news and never bad news, he even hid the injuries he had sustained while practicing martial arts from her.

Xiang Huayue was worried that she would be the same this time.

"I'm not injured, don't worry, Grandma. My martial arts were taught by my mother, the Queen. You should know my strength."

Xiang Huayue ignored her coaxing words and forced the man to check thoroughly. Only after confirming that there were no injuries did she feel relieved.

"I'm glad you didn't get hurt. It was just a tough journey, and you look quite a bit thinner."

Liang Chongyue's eyes fell on Minglang's arm.

The first time they met today, she smelled a faint medicinal scent coming from Minglang's arm.

However, my mother has been relying on tranquilizer pills to help her sleep these days, so it's normal that she didn't smell the medicine.

No one is spared from injury in a war. Seeing that Minglang is in good condition now, she wants to hide it, but Liang Chongyue doesn't expose it.

Minglang is not a stupid boy. He knows that she has the best medicine in the world, but he doesn't say anything. He is sure that he can recover on his own.

Liang Chongyue sat down to drink tea, watching his mother holding Minglang's hand with one hand and tremblingly stroking Minglang's face with the other hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have lived up to your mother's expectations."

Xiang Huayue didn't know whether His Majesty would still say such sentimental words to Minglang now. If His Majesty didn't say it, then she would say it on His Majesty's behalf.
