Chapter 499 A fatality early in the morning
After washing up, Liang Chongyue lay on the bed and soon fell asleep. When she woke up the next day and finished washing up, she saw Qi Deyuan waiting on the first floor. When he saw her coming downstairs, he immediately came up to greet her eagerly.
"Your servant greets Her Royal Highness. His Majesty has ordered Her Royal Highness to enter the palace."
Liang Chongyue hadn't even had time to eat breakfast before he got on the carriage to the palace. When he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he just happened to see his scumbag father coming out of court without changing into his court clothes.
Seeing his scumbag father waving at him, Liang Chongyue took a few quick steps forward. Just as he finished greeting, his scumbag father grabbed his arm and pulled him into the Yangxin Palace.
"Father, is there something urgent?"
Liang Chongyue followed behind his scumbag father, not understanding what he was so anxious about, until he entered the inner hall and saw the pile of memorials on his scumbag father's desk. Judging from the number of them, it was at least three days since they were approved.
Following his scumbag father to the desk, Liang Chongyue had a bad premonition when his arm, which was held by his scumbag father, loosened.
Liang Chongyue pretended not to see the pile of memorials that were almost touching her nose. She avoided her father's smirking gaze and tried to find an excuse to leave before he could speak. The next second, his voice rang in her ears:
"Chongyue, do you still remember when your father held you in his arms as he sat at the desk reviewing memorials?"
Liang Chongyue put on a decent smile and shook his head at his scumbag father.
Chongyue was a child raised by Liang Zhan himself, and he could not hide Chongyue's little thoughts from him at all. Seeing her like this, Liang Zhan knew that she remembered it.
"Just remember. Father has already canonized you as the Crown Princess. Father is old and there are things he cannot handle. Da Xia is yours after all. You have to learn to hold on. Start by reviewing memorials."
Liang Chongyue's stomach protested before she did. Liang Zhan's eyes fell on Chongyue's stomach, and he turned to Qi Deyuan and said:
"Go prepare some cakes and milk tea for Chongyue."
Qi Deyuan left as soon as he was told. Only the father and daughter were left in the entire inner hall of the Yangxin Palace. Liang Chongyue knew that from now on, the memorial would belong to her.
It's impossible to refuse.
However, Liang Chongyue raised her eyes and looked at her scumbag father carefully. Although there was a bit of majesty in the corners of her eyes due to the passage of time, her skin was still firm, her eyes were bright and lively, and she did not show much signs of aging. There was no mottled silver hair in her black hair.
There was no point in him saying that he was too old and unable to do the job. It was obvious that he just wanted to be lazy and didn't want to face the memorials that often made him angry.
Liang Chongyue could not say anything about this and could only nod silently in agreement.
Seeing this, Liang Zhan felt much better:
"I have already ordered the cleaning of the Eastern Palace. Chongyue will be able to move back to the palace soon. This will make it more convenient for her to attend court every day."
When Liang Chongyue saw the pile of memorials, she already had some idea in her mind. These were all what she had always wished for. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, how could she be lazy and retreat?
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Father."
Liang Zhan took one last look at the pile of memorials behind Chongyue, raised his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes, sighed, and said to Chongyue with a smile:
"I'll go have breakfast with your mother. After we've dealt with these things, Chongyue will also go see your mother. She's missed you every day since you left for the battle."
After saying that, Liang Zhan raised his leg and walked outside, leaving Liang Chongyue standing there alone, watching his scumbag father leave.
Qi Deyuan was very fast, as if everything had been prepared long ago. After putting down the pastries and milk tea, he went out to catch up with his scumbag father.
Liang Chongyue sighed helplessly, walked to the desk, picked up some pastries to fill his stomach, and after drinking a cup of milk tea, he felt much better in his stomach.
Liang Chongyue raised his head and formally examined the memorials that had been piled up like a small mountain. The air was filled with a faint scent of ambergris. The early autumn morning sunlight shone through the carved window lattices, onto the layers of memorials, creating a dazzling white light.
Liang Chongyue reached out and flipped open a book. The pages were densely packed with tiny calligraphy, covering trivial matters of people's livelihoods in various places, official petitions, flood disasters...
Everything needs to be decided.
His fingertips gently stroked the edge of the memorials. As more and more memorials were reviewed, the scent of ink lingered on the desk.
Just when Liang Chongyue was about to be intoxicated by the fragrance of ink, he finally finished reviewing the mountain of memorials.
I finally understand why my scumbag father was so angry when reviewing memorials.
I read several memorials in a row, all of which were about the customs of different places. My brain was working, and suddenly I saw a memorial that was full of nonsense and had no real business. Who wouldn't be angry?
Don’t these people know how busy an emperor’s day is? Just listening to his nonsense took up several minutes of her time. In that time, she could have finished reviewing the next memorial.
Liang Chongyue picked up the pen directly: I don’t know what you are talking about. It’s a waste of Princess Ben’s time. There will definitely not be a next time.
After saying this, Liang Chongyue transmitted her handwriting to the system:
"Send it to have a seal engraved according to what I wrote, so that you don't have to write it every time and it's troublesome."
The system was very fast. As soon as Liang Chongyue finished approving the memorial, the seal was delivered.
Even if I don’t use it today, I can still use it tomorrow.
Based on Liang Chongyue's understanding of these old ministers, they don't have any special abilities. They just become more stubborn as they get older. If you tell them not to do something, they seem not to understand.
I don't know how she passed the imperial examinations back then, but when she ascended the throne, everything was replaced within four years.
Liang Chongyue put away the reviewed memorials, stood up and put the last piece of cake into his mouth. The cold cake had a greasy sweetness, but fortunately he had milk tea, so Liang Chongyue's breakfast was solved.
As soon as Liang Chongyue pushed open the door of the Yangxin Palace, she saw An Yi standing outside with a sword in his arms. When he saw her come out, he turned around and walked towards her.
"Your subordinate An Yi greets Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
Liang Chongyue narrowed her eyes. Although there were many memorials just now, they were not enough to make her dizzy.
"What do you call yourself?"
An Yi raised his eyes when he heard this. Even through the mask, Liang Chongyue could see the nervousness in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I failed to complete the mission assigned by Your Majesty and was supposed to commit suicide in the deserted capital. However, Your Highness rescued me and brought me back to the capital. Your Majesty said that if Your Highness is willing to keep me here, he will spare my life."
An Yi's eyes were firm, but Liang Chongyue felt that something was not right no matter how he listened.
"What if I don't want you to? Will you die now?"
Liang Chongyue stood speechlessly at the gate of the Yangxin Palace. She pushed the door open, but she still stood inside without taking a single step out.
A life was lost early in the morning. Although the person is not dead yet, I always feel that the scumbag father did it on purpose.
An Yi knelt on the ground, without saying a word, pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots and put it across his neck.
No matter how quickly Liang Chongyue tried to stop it, the dagger still left a deep bloody mark on his neck. Blood gushed out instantly, and a few drops splashed onto Liang Chongyue's face.
Liang Chongyue felt the warm blood splashing on her face the moment she did so, and silently wiped it off with a handkerchief. Fortunately, she didn't wear makeup today, otherwise the blood would have left marks on her face.
