Fei He took the hand warmer that His Majesty had taken off, stood in front of His Majesty, and looked at Minglang who was standing behind him.

Noticing Master Fei's gaze, Minglang could only smile awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will take good care of the flowers and plants in Grandma's backyard. I will never let a single one die in my hands."

Liang Chongyue smiled and turned back. Looking at her mother's eyes, she knew that she didn't believe Minglang's words.

Minglang had no idea how difficult it was to grow the flowers and plants in his mother's backyard.

But Minglang has killed so many flowers and plants since he was a child that Liang Chongyue has to send people out to find new ones almost every month to replace them.

Many of those that were transplanted back in this way did not survive.

Even the most skilled gardener cannot take care of flowers and plants that are not acclimatized to the local climate and soil.

"Okay, I believe you. I'll bring the gardener to the side hall to find you and have him teach you all the techniques of growing flowers."

Minglang agreed with a smile, but his smile was a little stiff when he left the main hall.

After watching Minglang leave, the door of the main hall of Cining Palace closed again.

Liang Chongyue turned around to support his mother.

"Minglang is young. You would have been much bolder in your actions than she is now."

The past cannot be recalled, and Liang Chongyue naturally knows what he did back then.

But things are different now. Liang Chongyue had to do it at the beginning, but Minglang is now thinking too much and has high aspirations.

"She feels that I have her back in everything. Even if she pokes a hole in the sky, I can still cover her up."

But many things are not like this. If you are right, the sky will not fall.

But if Minglang does things that are not reasonable and follows her own will, how many years can she rule this country?

"People always say things like 'live as long as the sky' to fool people. How can I really live as long as the sky? If I don't teach her now, who will teach her in the future?"

Seeing this, Xiang Huayue said no more. His Majesty is the supreme ruler, and there are some things that she should not interfere too much.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Xiang family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They are the best generals I trust the most. I have already issued an edict that the title of Duke Dingguo will be hereditary. As long as Daxia prospers, the Xiang family will prosper."

Such a guarantee is already big enough. If someone else said it, Xiang Huayue would just think it was empty talk that couldn't be more empty.

But these words came from His Majesty's mouth, and after hearing them, it was like being fed a reassurance pill.

"This is a difficult matter for you."

Xiang Huayue pulled Liang Chongyue to sit on the Arhat bed, lowered his head and stroked Liang Chongyue's hands which were warmed by the hand warmer.

Liang Chongyue also followed his mother's gaze and looked at his own hands.

"Why aren't these calluses going away? I remember you haven't practiced swordplay in a while, right?"

Xiang Huayue touched the calloused area on Liang Chongyue's palm with some heartache.

"These calluses are from practicing martial arts since you were a child. What beautiful hands you have! Both hands are covered with calluses. They won't heal."

Looking at these calluses, Xiang Huayue recalled the injuries Liang Chongyue had suffered while practicing martial arts over the years. Her daughter and grandson eventually ended up on the same path.

But the road is so rugged and difficult to walk on that even a strong person like Liang Chongyue finds it difficult to walk on it.

Minglang is still walking on the road that His Majesty has explored all the way, but why is it still so difficult?

Thinking of this, Xiang Huayue felt very upset. Why couldn't the world be more partial to her children and the women of the world?

"This is my medal of honor, earned on the battlefield. Why are you so worried, Mother? Others don't have it yet."

During the time when Minglang was away on the expedition, Liang Chongyue would practice sword in the courtyard of the Yangxin Palace whenever he was worried, but his mother didn't know about it.

It was all in the middle of the night, and by then my mother had probably taken some tranquilizers and fallen asleep.

Left speechless by Liang Chongyue's words, Xiang Huayue could only force a smile and gently brush it across the tip of Liang Chongyue's nose.

"I know you're hardworking and ambitious, and Minglang is very much like you in every way. Don't blame her too much."

Even imperial power will eventually change, let alone the power in the court.

There are always ups and downs. Today your family is laughing, and tomorrow his family is crying.

“To live in this world, one must experience both bitterness and sweetness. Only then can one be considered complete.”

Liang Chongyue leaned against the Luohan bed, and listening to his mother's sigh, he knew that Minglang's words really touched his mother's heart.

"The descendants of the Xiang family are all buried in the earth. The battlefield is covered with yellow sand, and so many people have never returned. If their descendants cannot enjoy happiness, then my position as emperor will be useless."

Liang Chongyue has not forgotten why he had to conquer the world and seize the imperial power.

It's all for the Queen Mother and the Xiang family, as well as the soldiers who died on the battlefield and who were not afraid of life and death for Daxia.

"Your Majesty has done very well. There is no need to belittle yourself. Your Majesty is the number one empress in the world, the number one in the world."

Xiang Huayue made a one gesture to Chongyue.

The two of them just looked at that one, and laughed when they looked at each other.

"So, Queen Mother, there's no need to belittle yourself. I do whatever I want and I favor whoever I want. Anyone who disagrees can seize the throne from me."

When Liang Chongyue was speaking, she saw her mother reaching out to cover her mouth, so she grabbed her mother's hand.

"Those villains who can't steal my throne, even if they live for hundreds of years, are only fit to watch me look down upon the world."

Liang Chongyue looked at his mother with a firm gaze, but it seemed as if he was looking through his mother at others.

The system just stood by and watched, scratching its nose with its claws. The host looked as if someone was about to be in trouble again.

I wonder which little fool it will be?

It’s so hard to guess.

After calming his mother down, Liang Chongyue personally helped her drink the calming soup.

Otherwise, my mother might not be able to sleep that night.

"Then have a good rest, mother. I'm leaving first."

After saying goodbye to his mother, Liang Chongyue put on a cloak and went directly to Minglang's side hall.

The floor heating in the side hall was burning hot, and as soon as Liang Chongyue came in, the coldness around him was almost dispelled.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Please have some tea."

It had been a long time since he had seen Minglang being so attentive. Liang Chongyue simply raised his hand and waved away the palace servants serving in the hall.

He raised his head and looked at the beams of the side hall.

It was dark and he couldn't see clearly on the beam, but that didn't stop Liang Chongyue from knowing that there was someone there.

"You should all retreat first, two hundred meters outside the Cining Palace. I won't leave, and you don't need to come back."

As Liang Chongyue finished speaking, two women's voices responded from the beams.

The next second, two bat monsters flashed out from the beams.

During this time, Minglang was waiting on the side. He felt that the skin on his back seemed a little itchy, and the Queen Mother would have to help him treat it later.

"Your Majesty!"
