Chapter 1082 Very Few
After all, Liang Chongyue and the system had only witnessed such a rare event a handful of times in all the time they had worked together.
After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liang Chongyue washed up briefly and then lay down.
Before going to sleep, I opened the control panel again and checked the traces of those monsters once more.
It's true that money can make the devil turn the millstone.
Now that everyone in the system has become a wage earner, Liang Chongyue can hardly bring herself to complain anymore.
When Liang Chongyue woke up, she received a leave request letter from Minglang.
After glancing at it casually, Liang Chongyue put it aside.
"Minglang didn't go to the hunting grounds, so what about the puppy?"
The only response Liang Chongyue received was the system's snoring. Liang Chongyue turned his head and saw the system lying on the carpet.
Even with his eyes open, he could only respond with a snore.
Liang Chongyue became even more convinced of her previous ideas.
Minglang learned bad habits from the system from a young age.
"I'm giving you a day off today, and I'll allow you to go out and have some fun with Minglang."
The system immediately became interested upon hearing this and raised its head high.
However, it quickly dropped again.
Liang Chongyue knew immediately what was wrong.
"Send someone to check if Minglang has already set off. If not, ask her if she would like to take the puppy with her."
Liang Chongyue turned his head and saw that the system was already sitting upright, grinning at him.
This is now confirmed. Sometimes Liang Chongyue even wonders if he has spoiled these two too much.
This is what led them to develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing.
"Next time, ask yourself. You and the kitten can connect online, so you don't even need to leave. The kitten can help you find out the answer. If you bother my people again, I will cut off your snacks."
The system was unaware that its previous hosts had always spoiled it like this.
It's like you've become a completely different person today.
“Minglang has been corrupted by you, and you have to take full responsibility for this.”
The system looked up at the sky speechlessly, a three-part unruly and four-part cold smile curving up one corner of its mouth.
Liang Chongyue understood what the dog wanted to say from its face.
In the end, I took all the blame.
Liang Chongyue ignored the deliberately decadent style the system was trying to project, and instead got up, tidied herself up, and prepared to go out and have fun with someone for the day.
While we're at it, let's send the Empress Dowager back to the Xiang family.
To avoid his mother thinking about this and that all day long in the palace, Liang Chongyue was afraid that his mother would ruin her own head.
"Yunling, what time is it now?"
Yunling brought the tea meant for His Majesty to rinse his mouth and handed it to him.
"Your Majesty, it is already three-quarters past Chen Shi (7:45 AM)."
That's good. Liang Chongyue got up 15 minutes earlier than yesterday.
"Send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that I will be having dinner there later. Also, please arrange a meeting with A-Zheng for me, as I plan to go out of the palace for a trip today."
Yunling agreed to everything, delighted to hear that His Majesty finally had time to go out for a walk and have some fun.
Yunling was genuinely happy.
"Alright, I'll send someone right away."
After washing up, Liang Chongyue went to Cining Palace for breakfast.
The system has disappeared somewhere.
Since Liang Chongyue didn't see it, he simply ignored it.
During the Spring Festival, as long as the system doesn't run wild, Liang Chongyue doesn't care who it frightens.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at Cining Palace, she didn't see Minglang. She hadn't expected Minglang to leave so early.
"Your Majesty, I have come to have breakfast with you today."
Xiang Huayue has figured out Minglang's wake-up time in the past two days and has even had a meal with him.
But now that His Majesty has arrived, she can't just leave him to eat by herself.
"Your Majesty, please try these vegetarian buns. The vegetables that have been touched by frost taste the sweetest."
Liang Chongyue took the steamed bun handed to her by her mother and took a bite.
"The taste is indeed excellent. Has Mother already had breakfast with Minglang?"
Liang Chongyue held a vegetable bun in her hand, watching her mother keep piling side dishes onto the plate in front of her.
He would take a bite only after a while.
"I'm getting old and need more sleep. I woke up and saw that Minglang was up too, so we had breakfast together."
Liang Chongyue believed others who said they felt shorter as they got older.
However, Liang Chongyue has been taking medicine to treat his mother's health for many years.
If we were to conduct a health check on the Empress Dowager now, it's likely that her health would be worse than her previous good health.
"That's good, at least it's bright and I have someone to keep me company when I get up early."
After Liang Chongyue finished eating the vegetarian bun in his hand, he said to his mother:
"Today Minglang went out to meet old friends, and I also made an appointment with Azheng. Would Mother like to go back to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion for a visit?"
When Liang Chongyue usually comes to ask questions, it means that everything has already been arranged.
Compared to previous years, my mother has indeed come home much less often this year.
In previous years, the Empress Dowager was able to see her family at the palace banquets.
Although she granted her mother the authority to leave the palace at will, her mother rarely used it herself.
Most of the time, it was she or Minglang who took them out of the palace to play.
"Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal. I'll go and tidy up first."
Liang Chongyue smiled and nodded in agreement.
Watching her mother's light steps as she walked towards the inner palace, she knew that this world still imposed too many rules on women.
Too many people have been bound by it.
Liang Chongyue finished his breakfast, but his mother hadn't even cleaned up yet.
Liang Chongyue, dressed in a dark red robe, sat beside her mother, watching her apply makeup.
"Is Your Majesty waiting impatiently? I'll be ready in a moment."
Why would Liang Chongyue feel anxious about waiting for her mother to put on makeup?
She's not her father.
"Mother, take your time, there's no rush. I just finished eating, so I'll sit down and digest a bit."
Hearing this, Xiang Huayue felt even warmer inside.
Liang Chongyue stared blankly at his mother's reflection in the bronze mirror.
"My mother is truly unparalleled in beauty. I have never seen a more beautiful woman than my mother."
Liang Chongyue was speaking from the heart. If his mother weren't so beautiful, she wouldn't have been targeted by his scumbag father.
They insisted on bringing the matter to the palace.
As for how much genuine affection existed between her scumbag father and her mother, Liang Chongyue didn't want to think about it.
No matter when, from the highest and brightest sun and moon to the closest and most distant husband and wife.
If one enjoys the blessings of the world, there is no need to dwell on the emperor's true feelings.
Liang Chongyue herself was an emperor; how could she not know how much of the emperor's true feelings were genuine?
Even if there's only three parts genuine feeling, two and a half parts of that should be reserved for oneself.
As the ruler of a country, she must love herself in order to better love her country and her people.
Liang Chongyue and her mother looked at each other through the bronze mirror, as if they had returned to the past, when she was still a child.
The Empress Dowager often applied makeup and drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror, but at that time, there was always a faint, yet persistent, sorrow between her brows.
The Empress Dowager now has a relaxed expression, as if she could live for another hundred years without any problem.
"What does Your Majesty think of my attire today?"
Following her mother's words, Liang Chongyue carefully examined the area.
"Noble and beautiful, she is my most beautiful mother, the most beautiful empress dowager in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Liang Chongyue chose a hairpin that matched her mother's outfit and personally put it on her.
