Chapter 1070 Who Wins the "Genius" Game
Another round was started, and Liang Chongyue instructed Yun Ling:
"Go and prepare some fruit for me. The heating in this house is burning way too brightly."
Xiang Huayue noticed that His Majesty was not like before. The palace was heated by an underfloor heating system, and he had to wear many layers to feel warm while sitting on the Luohan bed.
Today, His Majesty has even taken off his outer robe.
I still feel hot sitting on the daybed.
"Is His Majesty all better?"
Liang Chongyue naturally understood the meaning behind her mother's words; she was asking if her aversion to cold had been cured.
"The previous medicinal diet was indeed very effective. After I ate it, my old ailment improved a lot."
His Majesty explained, but Xiang Huayue was not quite convinced.
She knew His Majesty's health best.
In the worst times, even in July when it was hot, His Majesty's knees would ache terribly as if they were filled with water whenever there was a downpour.
Later, I tried acupuncture, diet therapy, and all sorts of other methods.
His knees are healed, but His Majesty has developed a fear of cold.
Over the years, I've tried all sorts of dietary supplements and medicinal cuisine.
The puppy has grown up and is bleeding from its nose, making a mess all over the Cining Palace.
His Majesty's aversion to cold has not improved.
How could it be that the condition was cured by medicinal diet some time ago?
Xiang Huayue didn't believe it at all, but she chose to believe it because His Majesty said so.
"Mother has won! Mother is truly amazing."
Xiang Huayue was worried about His Majesty's health when she heard the clattering sound of His Majesty putting the chess pieces back into the chess box.
Xiang Huayue then realized that she had been too engrossed in thinking about His Majesty.
She had completely forgotten that she was actually competing with His Majesty to see who would win first, and who would lose first.
Xiang Huayue looked at the white chess piece she was holding between her fingers and reluctantly put it down.
"Your Majesty is indeed amazing; I am no match for you."
Liang Chongyue looked up at her mother, puzzled.
"What is Your Majesty saying? I don't quite understand."
Xiang Huayue admitted defeat; the person in front of her was no longer a child.
Even if it were the young Emperor, she might not be able to win.
"okay."
Seeing that his mother's expression had turned serious, Liang Chongyue stopped teasing her.
He picked up the fruit Yunling had brought and started to taste it.
"I will not interfere in Minglang's marriage; everything will be done according to Minglang's wishes. As for Minglang's upcoming travels, has Your Majesty arranged for someone to accompany and serve him?"
Liang Chongyue knew that her mother must have summoned her for something related to Minglang.
"I have made all the arrangements. There will be secret guards accompanying us along the way, but they will remain hidden among the people. As long as there is no danger, they will not show themselves."
Xiang Huayue believed that His Majesty must have arranged this long ago.
But that wasn't what she meant.
"What I mean is that Nanxing is injured. I went to see the child, and the injury is quite serious. He will definitely not be able to accompany Minglang on the trip out of the palace. Has Your Majesty made arrangements for someone to accompany Minglang on the journey and take care of his daily needs?"
After thinking for a moment, Liang Chongyue already had someone in mind.
"Xue Wan, Jiang Jiaoyun, Li Xianqing, and Xiang Ke. However, Xiang Ke is still in the Taihang Mountains. Whether he can accompany us depends on Minglang's own choice."
These four are Minglang's study companions; they've grown up together since childhood.
Jiang Jiaoyun and Li Xianqing have already entered the court as officials, Xue Wan is training in her father's army, and Xiang Ke is practicing martial arts in the Taihang Mountains.
Being able to travel with Minglang is more valuable than enduring hardship in the capital and the Taihang Mountains.
Liang Chongyue believed that any intelligent person would know how to choose.
The matter that Xiang Huayue had been worried about all night was resolved this morning.
"Does Minglang know about this?"
Liang Chongyue popped a fruit into her mouth.
"I don't know yet. This is just wishful thinking on my part. I haven't told Minglang yet. In the end, it will be up to Minglang to decide who accompanies him on his travels."
Xiang Huayue was speechless for a moment, but fortunately Jiang Jiaoyun and Li Xianqing were both in the capital.
After Minglang agreed, the group was able to immediately pack their things and gather together.
"The previous year was the New Year. Xue Wan, Li Xianqing, and Jiang Jiaoyun are all in the capital now. When Minglang returns today, I will ask her what she thinks."
Xiang Huayue then nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'm relieved that Your Majesty has a plan."
Liang Chongyue was very happy to have visited the Cining Palace and amused the Empress Dowager.
"Does Your Majesty have anything else to say? If not, I will go back to practice my chess skills and strive to compete with Your Majesty next time."
Xiang Huayue was rendered speechless by Liang Chongyue.
"Alright, alright, I'm worrying for nothing. Go ahead and do your work. If you're free at noon, come have lunch with me."
Liang Chongyue refused outright.
"It's the New Year, and Mother Empress is not going out of the palace to play. I also want to go out to play, so I won't come back to have lunch with Mother Empress."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he added a sentence.
"If Your Majesty wishes to leave the palace, simply order them to prepare a carriage. Within the capital, as long as you have guards and secret agents, Your Majesty can go wherever you wish. However, you must inform me before leaving the city."
Now, Liang Chongyue has cleaned up almost all the unclean places in the capital.
Liang Chongzhen still has some remaining power, as long as the Empress Dowager brings enough guards and secret agents.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager could only go to a few places.
However, the Empress Dowager did not attend the spring banquets organized by various mansions after the New Year for a long time.
Going out for some fun and relaxing is a good idea.
Otherwise, I'd spend every day playing these kinds of games with her, where whoever wins is considered a "genius."
"I understand, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Liang Chongyue had no idea how much her mother knew.
She did think of something that was truly urgent.
This is a very important matter.
"Alright, Mother, please rest well. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Liang Chongyue got up, put on her shoes, and left.
He even took an orange to eat on the way.
Yunling followed beside His Majesty, and seeing His Majesty's vigorous appearance, she felt happy too.
"Your Majesty's aversion to cold seems to have truly been cured. It is only because Your Majesty's benevolence has protected the world that you have moved Heaven."
Liang Chongyue looked at Yunling's happy expression.
Why doesn't she think so?
If there really are gods in the heavens who know how many lives she has taken, and still think she is benevolent...
Then even the gods in heaven might not be good people.
Such benevolence is acceptable.
"Then after my death, I should indeed ascend to immortality."
They're such good-natured people.
"Long live Your Majesty! With Your Majesty in power, the Great Xia Dynasty enjoys favorable weather and abundant harvests. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's diligent governance."
His Majesty will surely ascend to immortality in the future, continuing to protect the Great Xia.
Liang Chongyue devoted his life to the Great Xia Dynasty, and after his death, he no longer wanted to protect anyone.
So as not to disturb her peaceful life after death.
Therefore, Liang Chongyue didn't respond to Yun Ling's words; she knew what was going on.
Let those great Confucian scholars who are willing to scheme and fight among a group of people handle matters like ascension.
