Chapter 1117 How delightful!
When Xiang Yu finished washing up and came over, breakfast was already served.
Xiang Huayue didn't ask why His Majesty hadn't come; she was already used to His Majesty not coming.
Whenever new guests arrived at Cining Palace, Liang Chongyue would try her best not to show herself.
The Empress Dowager was much more approachable than her; the atmosphere in Cining Palace changed the moment she appeared.
Liang Chongyue got used to it, and Xiang Huayue also got used to His Majesty not having time to come over.
Breakfast at Cining Palace was served in a very cozy manner, as was breakfast at Yangxin Hall.
Liang Chongyue and Fei He ate together.
Rules mean nothing when it comes to making her happy.
After finishing his meal, Liang Chongyue lay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and listened to the audiobook read by the system's built-in human voice reader.
Burning incense and drinking tea, what a delightful experience!
Liang Chongyue thus enjoyed her entire annual leave.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time to continue with the court session.
Looking at the countdown on the calendar on the panel, Liang Chongyue wished she could move the time back a little.
"Little dog, do you have a machine that can turn back time?"
The system was playing with Xiang Yu when it heard its host's voice and quietly responded.
"Host, this is the fourth year you've asked me the same question."
The system didn't tell anyone, and Liang Chongyue himself didn't even realize it.
"Is that so? Then I have indeed been too diligent in my duties, and I feel like I no longer have a life of my own."
The system did the calculations, based on the host's current annual lifestyle.
The host doesn't seem to be as diligent in his duties as before.
The first few years after the host ascended the throne were when he truly spent every day in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The number of memorials he reads in a day is more than the number of courtesans his host flips through in a year.
Now that spring has arrived, people go boating on the lake after the morning court session.
After the start of summer, the people who stayed at the Yuanmingyuan Garden for the summer retreat for two or three months would not attend the morning court sessions.
Autumn came and winter came soon after.
If you do the math, the host is now paying more attention to the quality of life than before.
They are no longer solely focused on achieving political goals.
"Host, just hang in there a little longer. In less than three months you will be able to go to the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat. At that time, you will no longer need to attend court; you will only need to review memorials."
These words sounded to Liang Chongyue as if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment.
"I hope Minglang can return soon and take over the work I have so I can go out and enjoy the scenery."
The system knew these were the host's true feelings, and ever since Minglang came of age, the host would occasionally mutter a few words about them.
"It should be soon, in a few more years it will be about right, host, no need to rush."
Liang Chongyue and the system couldn't connect, and the system was busy cultivating the feelings that Xiang Yu had missed in the past.
She didn't speak as fluently as Xiang Yu.
"Xiang Yu doesn't understand what you're saying. Next time, you don't need to pretend to be stupid in front of Xiang Yu. It's my eyes that are being hurt."
Taking advantage of the fact that the host hadn't seen it, the system stuck its head out high, making sure Xiang Yu saw it.
"Little dog, did you get stung by a bee near your mouth? Why is it so swollen?"
Upon hearing this, the system immediately disconnected from its host.
He watched as the silly-looking Xiang Yu opened his mouth, snatched the pastry from his hand, and left.
Xiang Yu looked down at his empty hands, silently took out a handkerchief to wipe them, and sighed.
He was used to it; if the puppy would occasionally snatch his pastries in exchange for a little time to play with it.
He is still willing.
Because this is the palace, his mother is not here, and his sister has no time to restrict how many pastries he eats each day.
Moreover, as long as there are puppies, there will never be a shortage of pastries in Cining Palace.
It doesn't matter if the puppy takes a piece; he can go back and get more.
When class started in the afternoon, Li Yu'an looked at Xiang Yu, who was getting fatter every day, and reached out to pinch his round little face.
solid.
Your Majesty's worries are truly unnecessary. Others may enter the palace with trepidation, but Xiang Yu would never be.
I wonder if, at this rate, when Xiang Zheng enters the palace and sees Xiang Yu, now a perfectly round ball, she will regret not stopping him back then.
After finishing his afternoon classes, Li Yu'an went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Liang Chongyue is enjoying her last moments of happiness.
"What brings you here today?"
Liang Chongyue lay on the recliner and waved to Li Yu'an, indicating that he could do as he pleased.
The story machine in her mind was still running; she was determined to hear the whole story today.
Otherwise, there won't be time to listen after tomorrow's morning court session.
Li Yu'an sat down next to His Majesty and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Afternoon classes are over. Your Majesty, I missed you a little, so I came here."
Li Yu'an has been working hard lately, and Liang Chongyue, though wanting to be alone, enjoys listening to stories.
But since they've come, it's not right to just send them away.
Liang Chongyue then sat up straight and reached out to stop the story machine in her mind.
Looking at Li Yu'an, although he was getting on in years, he was well-maintained.
It still looks delicious.
"Then don't leave tonight, stay and keep me company."
She still had to go to work when it was time to go to work, so she had to postpone her story time as well.
"Yes, Your Majesty, will you dine at Cining Palace tonight?"
Liang Chongyue will have to go to court tomorrow morning, whether she wants to or not.
The Empress Dowager would definitely instruct the kitchen to prepare a table full of her favorite dishes to nourish her body before sending her off to start the new year's work.
"Of course I will go and dine with the Empress Dowager."
As expected, Li Yu'an took a sip of tea.
"Then I'll make some soup for Your Majesty to nourish your body."
Liang Chongyue didn't feel that her body needed any supplements.
She's doing quite well every day.
"The chef in the small kitchen can handle these things, so you just rest well. When it's time for dinner, you can accompany me."
Although Li Yu'an's soup is delicious, the hands that have cooked it will inevitably retain some of the smell.
He was still the head chef at night, as Liang Chongyue was a germaphobe.
Over the years, Li Yu'an has learned some of His Majesty's habits.
Since soup can be made anytime, he stopped insisting on it.
"I have another matter to discuss with you today."
Liang Chongyue turned her head to look at him, without saying a word, but her meaning was clear.
"His Majesty must not have visited Cining Palace for several days."
Since the two children arrived, Liang Chongyue, fearing they would be afraid of her, has not gone to Cining Palace.
With two mischievous little devils by her side, the Empress's life must be quite enjoyable.
In addition, Minglang will go back to keep her company from time to time, so she probably won't be lonely.
"I remember those two children only entered the palace a few days ago, right? What, I haven't been to Cining Palace for just a few days, and Mother misses me so much?"
Liang Chongyue pondered for a moment, then thought, "That shouldn't be the case."
She remembered that her mother liked Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu very much.
"No matter how many children are by her side, His Majesty is the most important person in the Empress Dowager's heart."
Liang Chongyue sat up and looked at Li Yu'an, asking him with her eyes if he had come to see her to convey his mother's longing for her.
Liang Chongyue didn't believe it.
These two weren't really bored.
