Chapter 1148 Not knowing what heaven and earth are
On its way back to Beijing, the system not only took bird eggs to provide nutrition for its host, but also busied itself catching wild animals such as rabbits and pheasants.
Any food that can be baked can be made whenever the host stops to rest.
The system has caught them all.
"If your appearance were seen by the Empress Dowager, she would praise you to the skies."
Liang Chongyue silently turned the barbecue grill in her hand; she had actually believed the system's nonsense.
At first, they said nice things, that they only went to get the bird's nest and catch the pheasant for her sake.
As a result, along the way, bird droppings would frequently visit her head for a period of time.
This forced her to ride her bicycle with an umbrella when she encountered difficult mountain roads.
Most of the bird eggs that were obtained ended up in the system's mouth.
It's clearly available in the mall, so it's hard to lie to the soldiers accompanying them.
Liang Chongyue was also able to buy fresh food and let the system hide far away to eat it secretly.
But this stubborn guy thought his own food tasted better and was more sincere.
"Of course, when you get back, you must help me spread the word to the Empress Dowager."
Since the system couldn't understand good or bad words, Liang Chongyue simply sprinkled some pepper and chili powder onto the barbecue grill.
The smell alone is overpowering.
After the food was baked, Liang Chongyue didn't eat a single bite; she gave it all to the system.
Watching the system eat made me cry and snot.
Even so, they couldn't bear to put down the roast chicken in their hands.
"Host, give me more of this kind of insanely spicy stuff next time, it's great."
Along the way, Liang Chongyue stopped grilling meat. Even though the system had captured him, he could only entrust the task to the accompanying cook.
Even though the system looked at Liang Chongyue with pitiful eyes, Liang Chongyue didn't react at all.
Finally arriving in the capital, Liang Chongyue could see from afar countless officials standing outside the palace to greet her.
Ever since His Majesty sent a message by carrier pigeon to the capital, everyone knew what His Majesty was busy with.
For the sake of the people and the affairs of the Great Xia, apart from the Minister of Works, the other ministers and Li Yu'an had long been calculating the time for His Majesty's return to the capital.
Waiting to be welcomed.
Liang Chongyue originally planned to rest well after returning.
Unexpectedly, all these people waited at the palace gate. Liang Chongyue sat on his warhorse, watching this grand scene.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you back to the palace."
Li Yu'an was still wearing the attire of an imperial concubine, and Fei He stood beside him.
Civil and military officials stood behind the two men.
These two, one scholarly and the other martial, seem to be quite easy to manage.
"Have all the civil and military officials arrived?"
The Minister of Personnel reported: "Your Majesty, all the officials in the capital are here."
Liang Chongyue: "Very well, I've been gone for more than a month. I haven't been able to keep up with the affairs of the capital and the various parts of Daxia for a long time. Let's meet at the Taihe Hall later, and you can tell me about the things that have happened in the past month since I left."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he rode his horse towards the palace.
He didn't look at the frozen smiles on the faces of the officials.
She may not look at these things now, but she'll have to look at them later.
Why not resolve everything today? That way, she won't even have to look at the memorials she owes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we respectfully welcome you back to the palace."
When Liang Chongyue returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the system disappeared the moment she turned around.
I wonder where they've run off to again.
Li Yu'an handed a handkerchief to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, please dry your hands first. Hot water is ready in the washroom. Would Your Majesty like to take a bath first to wash away the dust from your journey?"
Liang Chongyue thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll take a good bath and give them some time to prepare."
Li Yu'an had experience in officialdom, so he naturally knew who His Majesty was referring to.
"Your Majesty is magnanimous. It is a blessing for your servants and the people to have Your Majesty overseeing the Great Xia."
Liang Chongyue raised his hand and stroked Li Yu'an's nose. Li Yu'an even bent down to make it easier for His Majesty.
He brought his face close to His Majesty's hand.
After Liang Chongyue bathed and changed his clothes, he returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the remaining five ministers each had a basket at their feet.
The basket was almost overflowing with things.
Since the Minister of Works was absent, the Vice Minister of Works took over the task.
"Alright, today's court session is off. My dear ministers, please begin."
At Liang Chongyue's command, the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony presented their memorials one after another.
They've all spent a long time in His Majesty's court.
Although nothing major has happened in the month and a half since Your Majesty left, there have been quite a few minor matters that need to be reported to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is here today to finish dealing with all the affairs of the past month and a half.
They also cannot slow His Majesty down.
To avoid His Majesty discovering something later and questioning him, thus wasting His Majesty's time.
The memorial presented in the Hall of Supreme Harmony lasted until midnight, and Liang Chongyue ate both lunch and dinner there.
After having their meals in the side hall, the ministers continued their discussions with His Majesty in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After everything was settled, Liang Chongyue excused himself from the morning court session the next day and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to retire for the night.
Just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard the system's familiar snoring sound.
Liang Chongyue walked to the back of the bed and glanced at it. The system was already fast asleep, its legs in the air, oblivious to everything around it.
Liang Chongyue slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up, making up for all the sleep he had missed these past few days.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Crown Princess's letter has arrived."
Liang Chongyue was having breakfast in the Hall of Mental Cultivation when Ping An hurriedly entered. Liang Chongyue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and couldn't take her eyes off him.
Ping An was holding a stack of envelopes, almost as thick as a brick.
"Minglang sent so much while I was away from the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Ping An took out two envelopes from a stack of envelopes.
"These two letters were sent back by Her Highness the Crown Princess when His Majesty was not in the capital. The others were sent back together this time."
Liang Chongyue chuckled: "Looking at these letters, anyone who didn't know better would think Minglang is a very homesick child."
In reality, they've had so much fun out there that they don't want to go home.
"Fine, bring it to me."
Liang Chongyue finished the last mouthful of porridge, and Ping An handed her the envelope.
"So many envelopes, how many mail hawks did she send out? The first batch just went back and came back again?"
Ping An chuckled and replied, "No, these envelopes were sent back by Her Highness the Crown Princess on horseback. Fortunately, His Majesty has returned, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had to send a messenger hawk to find him."
So anxious?
Liang Chongyue took the envelope and went to the dragon's desk to read it slowly.
After opening and reading each document, he picked out some that could be shown to his mother, repacked them, and handed them to Yunling.
"Go and send it to the Empress Dowager. Have her write a reply, and I will send it to her as well."
Yunling took the envelope and left, while Liang Chongyue began to look through the letters Minglang had sent, one by one.
The article clearly and concisely describes how the author cracked down on corrupt officials in the area and even encountered truly honest and benevolent officials.
That's why he wrote to her asking for her help in getting him promoted.
Liang Chongyue thought it was a big deal, and seeing this stack of envelopes made her even more worried.
