Chapter 1211 Princess Qiyang
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Minglang sat on the dragon throne, with the kitten nestled in her arms, completely oblivious to the stares of the people below.
He went to the extreme of doing things his own way.
But nobody seemed to notice anything amiss.
After all, the little dog had been stationed at the Hall of Supreme Harmony more than once before.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Minglang listened to the debate among the court officials below, while casually stroking the kitten.
She had previously not understood why her mother would bring her dog to court from time to time.
Watching the puppy is much more interesting than watching those ministers.
Liang Chongyue was having breakfast with his mother when he suddenly felt an itch in his nose and suppressed the urge to sneeze.
"Will you come with me today?"
Xiang Huayue looked at her daughter, whose demeanor remained unchanged. Although she was traveling, Her Majesty was still Her Majesty after all.
"Is Mother afraid I'll scare people?"
Liang Chongyue saw through his mother's thoughts at a glance.
Xiang Huayue gave an awkward smile. Who in the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't be intimidated by His Majesty?
Liang Chongyue: "Since they are my mother's old friends, it would be inappropriate for me not to go. I will just go through the motions and then leave. Please take good care of my mother. I will pick her up tonight."
Understanding her mother's concerns, Liang Chongyue was relieved that she didn't need to worry about it.
"It's not that Mother is afraid of you, it's that she's afraid of them..."
Liang Chongyue understood without needing to say more to Hua Yue.
After sending his mother to the Xie residence, Liang Chongyue exchanged a few pleasantries with the head of the Xie family before leaving.
After leaving the Xie family, Liang Chongyue took his men directly to the polo field.
Liang Chongyue wore a mask on her face, which was extremely exquisite and beautiful.
Fei He had already arrived at the polo field with his horses and people, and after arranging everything, he waited outside.
Upon seeing Liang Chongyue approaching, he immediately went to greet her.
"My lady, everything is ready. You may go in now."
As Liang Chongyue entered the polo field, everyone in the officials' families' section looked at her.
Liang Chongyue walked directly to the center of the officials' and their families' seats, where Princess Qiyang was already waiting.
Before she even stepped onto the steps leading to the central banquet area, Princess Qiyang had already risen to greet her.
"His Majesty."
Liang Chongyue raised her hand to interrupt Princess Qiyang.
“This is not the capital, and you don’t need to call me that, Aunt. I came here because I saw it was lively. Please forgive me, Aunt.”
Princess Qiyang hadn't had much contact with Liang Chongyue over the years, but she had heard plenty of rumors about His Majesty.
She witnessed her elder brother murder her father and seize power years ago, and decades later, her brother's daughter followed in his footsteps.
Fortunately, she was a princess who left the capital early and lived a peaceful and quiet life in a remote area.
She hadn't had much contact with His Majesty, so she couldn't help but feel nervous when she learned that His Majesty was coming.
Looking into the eyes beneath the mask, eyes just like her brother's, Princess Qiyang's heart trembled.
"Then shall I call you Yue'er?"
Looking at Princess Qiyang's timid appearance, Liang Chongyue thought to herself, "My father was really something back then. I wonder how much of a shadow he left on her."
Aside from receiving New Year's gifts from this aunt over the years, she has received nothing else.
Occasionally, on holidays, or on her birthday and her mother's birthday, she would receive gifts from this aunt.
Thinking back over the past few decades, it seems I've only met this aunt a few times.
It always happened on her 10th birthday and Minglang's birthday.
"Call me whatever you want, Auntie."
Princess Qiyang's hand, held by Liang Chongyue, trembled slightly.
"Is Yue'er going to play polo today?"
Princess Qiyang, seeing His Majesty's attire, assumed he intended to personally participate.
"It's been a long time since I've played, but I still have this intention."
Upon hearing this, Princess Qiyang raised her hand and beckoned to the side, whereupon several handsome young men came forward.
Liang Chongyue's mask only covered the lower half of her face as she raised an eyebrow at Princess Qiyang.
"Auntie, what does this mean?"
Princess Qiyang chuckled awkwardly twice: "These gentlemen are all skilled polo players, let them play with Yue'er today."
Liang Chongyue chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over the group of people.
Putting everything else aside, Princess Qiyang's ability to survive under her scumbag father shows that she possesses some intelligence and wit.
These young men looked remarkably like the women in her harem back in the day.
Liang Chongyue smiled but didn't reply. It would be fine if she came out to play alone.
She brought her mother along on this trip. If she were to take the person in and bring her back, the imperial palace in the capital would probably be full by the time she finished her tour.
"Polo is all about teamwork, and I already have someone by my side. Thank you for your kindness, Auntie."
Princess Qiyang then noticed the person following the Emperor.
When Commander Fei arrived, she was already uneasy upon hearing the news that His Majesty had come to her fiefdom.
After seeing His Majesty, he could no longer see anyone else.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear who the person accompanying His Majesty was.
Sending the Buddha almost sent himself to the Western Paradise.
Li Yu'an picked up his teacup and offered it to Princess Qiyang.
Princess Qiyang quickly waved her hand, telling the men to leave.
"Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't see Yu An here."
Princess Qiyang quickly raised her cup in return.
Li Yu'an exchanged a few pleasantries with Princess Qiyang, then smiled and changed the subject.
Before long, Princess Qiyang felt much better.
Liang Chongyue had witnessed Li Yu'an's skill in speaking to people.
Liang Chongyue sat in the center of the officials' wives' section, looking down at the polo field. The officials' wives on both sides would occasionally peek at her.
There were many speculations about her identity. Regardless of whether the guesses were right or wrong, everyone was wary of Princess Qiyang's respectful yet fearful demeanor, fearing that they might have offended someone they shouldn't have.
Just then, the last game on the polo field ended, and Liang Chongyue stood up and stretched his limbs.
"Feihe, come with me to the next match."
Upon seeing this, Princess Qiyang immediately made arrangements, but Liang Chongyue stopped her.
"My little aunt can just sit and watch the game; there's no need to worry too much."
Seeing Princess Qiyang's expression, which practically screamed her status, Liang Chongyue wouldn't have wanted to go on the field if she hadn't really been out of polo for so long.
Everyone respected her, fearing she might still have something to hide.
Princess Qiyang was persuaded by Liang Chongyue to sit down, and watched with trepidation as His Majesty led the Emperor away with Commander Fei.
His Majesty is the kind of person who can strike directly at the Northern royal family and take the head of the old emperor of the Northern Kingdom, so Princess Qiyang is not too worried about His Majesty.
She was only worried about those few unruly individuals who were unaware of His Majesty's identity. Normally, everyone here treated them with respect and deference, but if they were to face His Majesty this time, a dispute might break out regardless of who won or lost.
Princess Qiyang wanted to send someone to stop those unruly boys, but Her Majesty the Queen was there watching.
She was willing but powerless; the moment she made a move, she was stopped by the Queen's gaze.
"The younger aunt should trust the wife."
Princess Qiyang could only agree repeatedly.
Liang Chongyue was unaware of what Princess Qiyang was thinking. Just as she and Fei He left the arena, Ping An led over with a steed that had been prepared beforehand.
