Chapter 1194 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings
With the Empress Dowager absent, Minglang did not sit on the dragon throne, but instead sat on the Luohan bed and read the contents of the imperial edict.
This was the imperial edict with the most writing she had ever seen from her mother; it was almost completely filled with words.
She wrote down everything that her mother felt she hadn't yet taught her.
Minglang read the imperial edict over and over again until Nanxing said that lunch was ready, then he put the edict away.
"Master Fei, please have a meal with me this time."
Fei He did not refuse: "Does Your Highness wish to drink wine?"
Minglang shook his head and glanced at the pile of memorials on the dragon's desk.
"I have official business to attend to later, so I won't drink anymore. Master Fei should be setting off to follow the Queen Mother later, right?"
Fei He nodded and ate the meal with His Highness in silence.
Minglang took a small booklet out of his pocket and handed it to Feihe.
"This is what I recorded along the way. The Queen Mother might find it useful when she's having fun. Master Fei, please take it with you."
Fei He put the book away and watched as His Highness got up and wandered around the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
He followed behind him.
"So the entire court knows that the Empress Dowager has left?"
Fei He gave a soft "hmm".
Minglang suddenly chuckled softly:
"I remember my grandmother telling me that when my mother first accompanied the army, she also fooled my grandfather in the same way, and even brought a puppy along. So many years have passed, and my mother is using the same trick to fool me again. Master Fei, do you think my mother hasn't grown up yet? How can she come up with such a childish idea?"
Minglang spoke with his back to Feihe.
You can't see her facial expression, but you can tell she's not happy.
"My mother is really something. If there's a next time, I won't forgive her."
As Minglang spoke, he picked up the wolf-hair brush that the Empress Dowager often used to review memorials on the dragon table, held it in his hand, and sat on the dragon throne.
At this moment, she is the new emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Empress Dowager silently left all the power to her, while she herself ran away with her grandmother.
Minglang opened the hidden compartment in the drawer under the dragon desk and looked at the tightly wrapped jade seal inside.
"My mother really trusts me."
Fei He then slowly spoke:
"His Majesty has always trusted Your Highness, so Your Highness should also have confidence in yourself."
Minglang looked up at Master Fei and smiled, "Of course."
She was the daughter of the Empress, destined from birth to have an extraordinary life.
Fei He had told everything he needed to, and set off that afternoon to catch up with His Majesty.
Minglang stood on the city wall watching Master Fei walk away, instantly experiencing the same feelings his mother had when she stood on the city wall to see her off.
"Tonight I'll go to see my father for a drink and have the kitchen deliver dinner directly to Kunning Palace."
Without turning his head, Minglang gave instructions to Nanxing behind him.
Nanxing hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Her Highness the Queen has also left the capital with His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Minglang couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He muttered to himself:
"Both of my fathers have been taken away by me. Who am I supposed to drink and have fun with now?"
The laughter was carried away by the wind and reached Liang Chongyue's ears on the other side.
At this moment, Liang Chongyue was boating on the river with her mother. Dressed in a bright and beautiful outfit, she lay down at the bow of the boat, enjoying herself immensely.
With a downward motion, a ripple can be easily created.
"Be careful not to catch a cold; the sun isn't too strong yet."
Faced with her mother's admonitions, Liang Chongyue simply listened but did not change her ways.
It's rare to have such a leisurely time, so she wants to be herself and enjoy it to the fullest.
"I wonder how Li Yu'an's fishing is going. If he doesn't catch anything this afternoon, Mother will have to drink porridge with me."
Liang Chongyue said this on purpose to amuse his mother.
Seeing her mother raise her hand as if to hit her, she dodged it with a quick movement.
"I wonder if Minglang has reached the capital yet, and how he is now."
Since it was inconvenient for Liang Chongyue to show the panel to her mother, she could only wait for Fei He to come and tell her.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; a mother should just enjoy her own happiness."
Liang Chongyue's current location is not far from the capital. They have been here for two days to wait for Fei He.
"Feihe should arrive tomorrow. Mother can ask him about Minglang's recent situation. He will surely tell you everything he knows."
Just as I was comforting her, a bright laugh came from the panel.
Liang Chongyue lay on the bow of the boat, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but actually watching Minglang's reaction on the control panel.
Seeing that Minglang hadn't even rested, he started reviewing memorials.
So diligent in her duties, just like her.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Minglang worked until midnight before finally finishing reviewing all the memorials.
After finishing all that, Minglang quickly washed up and went to bed.
The dragon bed still carried the scent of ambergris from the Queen Mother, which smelled wonderful.
She slept very soundly.
When the prince woke up, Nanxing came in with a five-clawed python robe and helped him change.
This was the first time Minglang attended court alone while his mother was away.
After receiving news of His Highness's return to the capital yesterday, the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony arrived early this morning.
When Minglang arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the civil and military officials in the hall had arrived.
The morning court session went more smoothly than she had expected; there were no particularly difficult issues to resolve.
While reviewing memorials last night, Minglang realized that his mother had resolved all the troublesome matters in the capital before leaving.
A broad road has been paved for her, just waiting for her to step onto it.
As long as she steps on it, she can soar upwards.
After the morning court session, on his way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Minglang saw two children in the distance and recognized them at a glance.
"Sheng'er, Yu'er, come here."
Minglang waved to the two children, who giggled and ran towards her.
"Greetings, Cousin Princess. May you be blessed with good fortune."
Minglang picked them up, one in each arm; she had been exercising a lot over the years.
"Why are you here?"
Her mother and grandmother had both gone out of the palace to play, and she thought that the two children had been taken back by Aunt Xiang Zheng.
"His Majesty has granted us permission to study in the Imperial Study. My mother told us that my cousin returned yesterday, so we got up early this morning to pay our respects."
Minglang smiled and kissed Xiang Sheng on the cheek.
"You're up so early, have you had breakfast yet?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head. Ming Lang carried the two children inside, and after they had breakfast together, he asked Nan Xing to take them to the Imperial Study.
When Nanxing returned, Minglang was reviewing memorials when he casually asked:
"Let the kitchen make a steamed fish for lunch; it's been a long time since I've had one."
When Nanxing served tea to His Highness, he spoke up beside His Highness:
"Only three cooks were left in the small kitchen; the one who was good at cooking fish was taken away by His Majesty."
Minglang paused in reviewing the memorials and turned to look at Nanxing.
"Who else did the Queen Mother take with her?"
Nanxing counted them carefully, and Minglang waved helplessly:
"Then let's prepare it in the small kitchen."
It feels like the Queen Mother took everyone with her, but left her behind.
