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

Being pointed at by the Queen Mother, Minglang did not dare to retreat a single step. She could feel that the Queen Mother was holding back, as she still felt sorry for her.

"I am stupid and ignorant. I have failed the Queen Mother's teachings over the years. I beg the Queen Mother to punish me."

The finger left a red mark on Minglang's forehead, which at first glance looked like the first bloom of a flower ornament.

"In two months, Han Qi will set out for the Western Regions to garrison a small country there. You must handle this matter cleanly on your own. If you commit such low-level folly again, I will deal with Han Qi for you."

Minglang knelt at the Queen Mother's feet and raised his head to look her in the eye.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother did not deal with Han Qi in the end. The guilt and regret in her heart were beyond words, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

"Yes, I know what to do. I will never make such a mistake again."

Liang Chongyue did not respond, nor did she ask Minglang to stand up. The mother and daughter maintained the posture of one sitting and the other kneeling until the candle beside Liang Chongyue burned out and the view in the side hall became dim.

Liang Chongyue did not ask Fei He to light new candles. The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence in the dim light.

The two hearts are connected by blood and are obviously very close to each other, but they are separated by flesh and blood, making it impossible to guess.

"clear."

It was not until he heard the Queen Mother's gentle call that Minglang felt his soul return to his body.

"I'm here, Queen Mother, I'm here."

Liang Chongyue reached out and touched Minglang's head, feeling Minglang rubbing his hand with his face affectionately. His legs, which were about to get up and leave, seemed to be briefly welded to the ground.

"Your grandmother is right. You look like her when she was young, and your personality is indeed very much like mine."

Liang Chongyue had done this kind of thing before.

"It's just that times have changed, child. I still have the energy to take care of these things."

When the day comes when I am truly unable to do anything, this vast kingdom will be yours without you even asking. Don't worry."

Minglang had already burst into tears.

"I don't want this vast kingdom. I want my mother to live a long life. I was wrong. Please don't say such discouraging words."

Minglang sobbed and hugged Liang Chongyue's legs, putting his head on her knees and crying softly.

Liang Chongyue warmed her hands by the heater before reaching out to Minglang.

"Okay, deal with the trouble you've caused yourself. Don't be like a kid and still have me clean up your mess."

As he spoke, Liang Chongyue helped Minglang up, looked at the child standing in front of him, and gently touched her face.

"If you want to sit in my position, you must put yourself in other people's shoes and think about things. Don't act too impulsively and let the excitement of the moment get the better of you."

Minglang nodded, watched the Queen Mother stand up, and reached out to help her, but was blocked by the Queen Mother.

"When I'm really too old to walk without crutches, you won't be able to escape even if you don't want to help me. For now, forget it."

Liang Chongyue strode out of the hall, stopped at the threshold, and without even turning his head, instructed Minglang who was following behind him:

"Let Nanxing find some medicine to cover the marks on your face. They won't go away before the morning court. I'll give you a day off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue stepped over the threshold and left the Cining Palace.

Minglang still chased after her, looked at the Queen Mother's back as she left, and stood there, thinking about every word the Queen Mother said to him today.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has already left. Please go back first. It's very cold out here."

The thick cloak was draped over the body, and it was warm inside with a light floral scent.

Smelling the unique aroma of spices in the Cining Palace, Minglang's heart slowly calmed down.

Followed Nanxing back to the side hall.

While sitting on the Arhat bed, I watched Nanxing replace the burnt candles one by one with new ones.

"The marks on your face don't look deep. I'll go find the best medicine for you right now. They should be gone before tomorrow's court."

The sound of Nanxing rummaging through things and the small sound of the candle burning were magnified infinitely in the night.

Suddenly, something clicked in her mind. The question she had been pondering for a long time now had an answer, and it was the answer given to her by her mother herself.

But she couldn't be happy, as something was quietly slipping away.

She couldn't see it or catch it. After today's chat, she and the Queen Mother seemed to be able to talk about anything, but they also seemed a little distant.

Recalling the figure of the Queen Mother walking away in the moonlight today, she didn't seem as tall as she did when she was young.

Nanxing quickly found the ointment to apply. After washing her hands, she first used a handkerchief to gently wipe the injured area on the prince's face. After washing the prince's face clean, she gently applied the ointment to him.

"This kind of ointment was brought by Aunt Yunling. She said it's rare in Yangxin Palace."

This ointment doesn't have any strange smell, but it feels cool and comfortable when applied.

"His Majesty has always favored Your Highness. After applying the medicine, Your Highness, please have a good night's rest. I will ensure that by tomorrow morning, when Your Highness wakes up, all the marks on your face will be gone."

As he spoke, Nanxing used a small fan to fan the area on His Highness's face where the medicine had been applied.

Make sure the ointment is applied properly before you feel at ease.

"Your Highness, rinse your mouth with tea and rest. You have to attend court early tomorrow morning."

Minglang took the tea handed to him by Nanxing, cleaned up, and lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, but unexpectedly, I fell asleep as soon as I lay on the bed.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to handle Han Qi's situation?"

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, Fei He asked cautiously while helping His Majesty to sleep.

"Don't worry about him. If he can't even control Han Qiminglang, how can he control the court in the future?"

Liang Chongyue soaked his hands and feet in hot water, and now his whole body was warm.

What happened today made her really tired.

"Raising a child is more tiring than fighting on the battlefield."

This is what Liang Chongyue concluded after reviewing today. Fortunately, she only gave birth to Minglang in her life.

If there were one more, I'd get a headache just thinking about it.

"The joy of raising children is not something you can get from fighting on the battlefield. The two are incomparable."

Liang Chongyue tilted his head and looked at Fei He: "Do you think I went too far today?"

Minglang is Feihe's biological daughter. No one who knows about this has said it out loud, but Liang Chongyue saw how Feihe felt sorry for Minglang today.

"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with teaching an ignorant child a lesson. But from what I've seen, isn't Your Majesty also soft on Her Royal Highness?"

Fei He handed the Majesty a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then wiped the water off his Majesty's feet.

"She's still a child even if she's useless. Just keep raising her. What else can I do with her?"

Liang Chongyue was lying on the bed, looking at the sachet that Minglang had made when he was a child hanging on the headboard. Dozens of sachets inside had been replaced.
