Chapter 1199 The mother and daughter pretended to be together.
An extremely powerful palm strike came towards Liang Chongyue. Liang Chongyue dodged to the side, but Minglang did not give her a chance to retreat, striking again and again.
"So ruthless?" Liang Chongyue dodged Minglang's attacks several times by sidestepping.
He said that Minglang was ruthless, but he didn't even make a move himself, raising an eyebrow at Minglang.
Minglang turned his neck and excitedly challenged his mother, "Mother, are you afraid of me?"
Liang Chongyue wasn't buying it, and she started pulling and tugging at her in the courtyard.
"Why doesn't Mother do it? It's so pointless."
No matter how much Minglang provoked him, Liang Chongyue simply wouldn't take the initiative.
I want to test how far Minglang's endurance can go.
"Don't stop, don't tell me that's the best you can do."
Only when Minglang felt bored and wanted to stop would the Queen Mother take the initiative to tease her.
Liang Chongyue only took the initiative to attack when Minglang was clearly exhausted.
Just as he was about to deliver a chop, he was restrained by Minglang's two hands.
"Not bad, you've improved since before and know how to hide your shortcomings now."
Minglang simply smiled at his mother without saying a word. The lessons he had learned from his mother over the years, as well as the experience he had accumulated through his travels, were not unfounded.
Hearing the commotion outside, Xiang Huayue came out and leaned against the kitchen door, watching the two people fighting fiercely.
Liang Chongyue never used her internal energy. Minglang kept trying to force his mother to use her internal energy so that even if she lost, she would accept it.
She didn't get her wish until the match was over.
"Has my mother been secretly practicing martial arts behind my back?"
It feels like Mother Empress has become much stronger. Could it be that while she was traveling, Mother Empress was thinking every day about how to deal with her when she came back?
"Practice makes up for lack of talent; you can do it too if you practice more."
Minglang felt that he had practiced a lot, but he just couldn't reach the level of the Queen Mother.
"Alright, go wash your hands and eat."
Xiang Huayue spoke up at the right moment, breaking the tense atmosphere between the mother and daughter.
Minglang immediately smiled, turned around, took Grandma Huang's hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
After seeing Minglang go inside, Liang Chongyue rolled up her sleeve and glanced at her arm, which had been injured by Minglang.
"You brat, you hit me so hard, are you trying to kill me?"
Li Yu'an was helping in the kitchen when Fei He immediately came over.
"Miss, would you like to go upstairs and apply some medicine first?"
Fei He noticed that His Majesty had several bruises on his hands. Standing aside, she hadn't realized that Ming Lang had hit him so hard.
"No, Minglang's nose is more sensitive than a dog's; applying medicine would be a waste of time."
She saw what Minglang was planning, and had been holding back from using her inner strength, just to push Minglang one more time.
This made her realize that there was still a considerable gap between them, and she would definitely practice even harder when she got back.
I never expected my unfortunate daughter to get so worked up and hit me so hard.
Liang Chongyue sent Fei He to serve the dishes, then found a secluded spot, opened the system shop, bought a bottle of colorless and odorless ointment, and quickly applied it to the injured area.
After the medicine took effect, I felt much better instantly.
At this moment, Minglang in the kitchen was wincing in pain, huddled in his grandmother's arms, sobbing softly.
Fei He saw this scene as soon as he entered. He was still standing outside the door with one foot, and by peeking out, he could see His Majesty walking to a corner and rubbing his wound.
Looking into the kitchen, you can see Minglang being pressed down by the Empress Dowager while applying medicine.
“But my mother can smell the medicine when it's applied, and she knows I'm just faking it.”
The mother and daughter even pretended to be alike. Xiang Huayue, who saw through everything, couldn't expose His Majesty, so she could only appease Minglang.
"Sweetie, this ointment has a faint smell, your mother won't be able to smell it."
Minglang simply couldn't believe it; her mother's senses were so acute that sometimes she even thought her mother was more powerful than a puppy.
How could I not smell it?
"Grandma, please let me finish lunch before applying the medicine. Let me have another meal."
When Minglang begged for forgiveness from his grandmother, he carefully observed her reaction.
Stunned by the Empress Dowager's silent gaze, she could only obediently listen and let her Empress Dowager apply the medicine.
Minglang was only freed after the medicine was finally applied.
He rushed out of the kitchen and went into the dining room first.
As Liang Chongyue passed by the kitchen, she only glanced inside. After meeting her mother's all-knowing gaze, Liang Chongyue raised her head and walked towards the dining room with an indifferent expression.
Just assume she hadn't passed by.
As soon as they entered the dining room, Liang Chongyue smelled the familiar scent of medicine. She raised an eyebrow and smiled at Minglang, who, despite feeling embarrassed, was completely convinced.
There was always a great gap between her and her mother, but in recent years, since she had not been in the capital and was surrounded by people like herself, she had forgotten about these differences.
Thinking of this, Minglang looked up at his mother, his eyes resolute, and said:
"Don't worry, Mother, I will succeed one day."
Liang Chongyue suddenly felt that the medicine she had just taken was not working, and her arm was hurting again.
"Practicing martial arts cannot be rushed; it relies on accumulation over time. This is something that cannot be done quickly."
Just as Minglang nodded in agreement, Grandma Huang walked in.
After seeing her mother give her a meaningful look, Liang Chongyue stopped talking and focused on eating her food.
Even though the food was so bland at lunchtime that it was unappetizing, neither she nor Minglang complained.
Minglang couldn't tell, but she believed her mother would.
After lunch, the battleground between her and Minglang shifted to the chessboard.
Liang Chongyue had intended to take a nap, but ever since leaving the capital, she had begun to fall into depravity.
Do whatever makes you feel comfortable every day.
"You didn't come here to spend the New Year with your grandma, you're here to challenge me, aren't you?"
Before Liang Chongyue could even lie down, Minglang woke her up.
Minglang has already prepared the chessboard.
"How could that be? I just came to spend the New Year with my mother and grandmother. These things were just incidental."
Liang Chongyue didn't believe her nonsense at all. Over the years of traveling, he had imagined defeating her countless times.
"Then come on."
Liang Chongyue sat on the daybed, locked in a fierce battle with Minglang on the chessboard, their moves back and forth, neither giving an inch.
Seeing her sharp and decisive chess style, Liang Chongyue saw the shadow of her scumbag father in Minglang.
The scumbag father likes to play chess like this, luring his opponent into a carefully set trap, watching the opponent's smug look, and then swallowing the opponent's piece in one gulp.
"Who taught you this?"
Following the scenario of losing to her scumbag father in the past, Liang Chongyue deliberately jumped into the trap set by Minglang.
"I found a chess manual in the house where my mother used to live. It seems to have been left by my grandfather. I learned a few moves from it. How about it? Am I ready to graduate?"
Liang Chongyue couldn't answer her. Her father had been dead for decades, and she hadn't inherited his chess skills. Whether she could graduate from her apprenticeship was not up to her.
"If I remember correctly, that chess manual was written by your grandfather after he lost to me. If you beat me, I'll consider myself a master."
