Chapter 1094 Aunt Not Angry, Mother Apologizes
By the time the family banquet ended, Liang Chongyue hadn't seen the matter escalate to the front hall.
It must have been resolved.
"Sheng'er, Yu'er, how about we go to the palace for a visit?"
While Xiang Sheng was still turning his head to look at his mother, Xiang Yu had already rushed forward.
Holding Liang Chongyue's hand, she said "okay" inside.
Liang Chongyue squeezed Xiang Yu's chubby little hand and chuckled as she picked him up.
"Wow, you're quite strong, kid. I almost couldn't pick you up."
Xiang Huayue looked at His Majesty, a little worried about his back.
She reached out to take Xiang Yu away, but Liang Chongyue waved her hand and refused.
"My aunt smells sweet."
Liang Chongyue found Xiang Yu's silly appearance amusing.
Who taught you that?
Xiang Yu pointed with his small hand, and Xiang Sheng almost lost his composure with the dignified smile on his face.
"So it was Sheng'er who taught you that. Well done! But why have I never heard Sheng'er call me that before?"
Looking at his silly younger brother playing and frolicking in His Majesty's arms, Xiang Sheng completely let go of his fear of His Majesty.
She took two steps forward and called out sweetly:
"aunt."
Liang Chongyue responded quickly, squatting down and hugging Xiang Sheng in her arms.
Head outside.
Now, those who wanted to stop Liang Chongyue for a short stay no longer dared to make a move.
Your Majesty is holding two children in your arms, and Xiang Yu is very good at taking care of them. What if Your Majesty accidentally hurts your back?
They can't afford to offend.
“Your mother loved to run to the palace to play with me when she was little. If anyone bullied her, she would turn around and go to the palace to complain. After you two little ones were born, she went to the palace less often.”
Xiang Zheng followed behind, with her maid, who always accompanied her, carrying a bundle on her back.
“My mother had to manage the shop business and take care of my brother and me, so she didn’t have time to visit my aunt. My aunt wasn’t angry.”
Liang Chongyue only has one daughter, Xiang Sheng, who looks somewhat like Minglang when he was a child.
Liang Chongyue liked it no matter what.
"Aunt, don't be angry. Mother apologizes."
Xiang Yu, who used to be so childish, is now able to take charge of Xiang Zheng.
"Hahaha, good, Aunt, don't be angry. Tonight, your mother will be punished to apologize to me properly."
Xiang Sheng glared at his silly younger brother, but Xiang Yu didn't take it to heart until his mother followed behind and gave him a smack on the bottom.
Xiang Yu originally wanted to cry.
Turning around, she saw her mother, her mouth already open, forcing a smile.
“Mother, please don’t be angry. Yu’er apologizes to Mother.”
Goodness, they've told this kid everything.
Liang Chongyue glanced at Xiang Zheng, who smiled and took Yu'er from His Majesty's arms.
He pretended to slap his butt twice.
"You're one to talk. If you weren't so afraid of dogs, I wouldn't have gone to the palace for so long."
Xiang Yu tensed up at the mention of the word "dog," and nestled cautiously into Xiang Zheng's arms, his smile vanishing.
Liang Chongyue sensed something was wrong and immediately made a call to the system.
The system is playing rock-paper-scissors with the kitten. It's a fair game between a dog and a cat.
"Wait a minute, the host is looking for me. Don't throw a punch yet, save it for me."
"I just don't like playing rock-paper-scissors with you. You always have eight hundred excuses when you lose."
As soon as the connection was established, Liang Chongyue heard the kitten's voice on the other end.
"Are you drinking?"
The system quickly explained, and the kitten looked at the stinky dog's excited expression.
Only then did they realize that the stinky dog hadn't lied this time, and they quieted down.
"Don't worry, host, I can't drink alcohol. The alcohol in this world has no effect on me. We're adjusting the data."
Liang Chongyue glanced at the panel; the system had already sent over their game rules.
Liang Chongyue glanced at it and, putting everything else aside, the dog and cat were indeed playing in a flashy manner.
If Minglang and the others were drinking and playing drinking games to relieve stress...
Then the system is simply applying pure pressure on the other side.
This was the first time Liang Chongyue had ever seen someone hand over their data panel to another person, enter a value once, and let the other person adjust a string of data.
Liang Chongyue was incredibly grateful that she had locked her account; otherwise, the two of them might have gotten into serious trouble at any time.
"Little dog, do you remember when Xiang Yu first cried in front of you?"
The system shook its head, but its reaction was quick enough.
"Host, don't worry, I'll start the investigation now and give you the results soon."
That's exactly what Liang Chongyue wanted from the system.
"Let's stay at the Crown Princess's residence tonight. The Empress Dowager is staying at the Duke of Dingguo's residence. I'm taking Xiang Zheng and the two children back to the palace."
The system hadn't originally planned to move tonight; its battle with the kitten wasn't over yet.
"Received, host. Don't worry, I will definitely not run away."
While the system was making its assurances, Liang Chongyue also heard the kitten meow twice.
Liang Chongyue hung up the phone and had already walked up to the carriage.
Liang Chongyue first helped Xiang Sheng into the carriage, then gave instructions to her mother, the Empress Dowager, who was seeing them off:
"I will come to fetch the Empress Dowager tomorrow evening. If you have a good time and need anything, please send someone to the palace to find me."
Liang Chongyue pulled his mother aside, hugged her, and whispered against her:
"The secret guards have all been deployed. There's no need to trouble the Duke of Dingguo's mansion if you need anything. Mother can just call out to the outside."
Xiang Huayue nodded. If it weren't for saving face for the entire Duke of Dingguo's mansion, she would definitely have returned to the palace tonight.
"Mother Empress, have a good time."
When Liang Chongyue said goodbye to her mother, Xiang Zheng was also giving Chai Shuo some instructions.
The couple didn't say much; over the years, their tacit understanding had reached a point where they didn't need to say anything, they just understood each other.
Xiang Huayue stood outside the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and watched the carriage leave and disappear around the corner before turning around and walking into the mansion.
Inside the carriage, Xiang Yu sat on the carpet playing with small toys, while Xiang Sheng sat obediently beside his mother.
Liang Chongyue felt a little tired looking at the child's dignified appearance.
"Don't be shy. It's your mother's fault for not taking you to the palace often."
Since His Majesty has said so, what else can Xiang Zheng say?
"Yes, it's all my fault."
This had already been a habit between Xiang Zheng and His Majesty.
But after she finished speaking, Xiang Sheng grabbed her hand.
He watched as Xiang Sheng shook his head at him.
Xiang Zheng could easily understand her daughter's thoughts.
Liang Chongyue witnessed this scene; her own Minglang used to be just as well-behaved and sensible.
Later, when he went through his rebellious phase, she made him raise birds instead.
Tomorrow the holiday ends, and it's time for another day of bird-keeping.
Liang Chongyue's gaze fell on Xiang Yu, her heart filled with suspicion.
"I remember when Yu'er was little, I took a puppy to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. At that time, Yu'er could only crawl and couldn't walk, but he was already afraid of the puppy."
Now that they're all grown up, how can such a smart child still be so afraid of dogs?
