Chapter 1203 A little coaxing will do the trick
Since arriving in Lin'an, Liang Chongyue has never gotten up early. She sleeps until she naturally wakes up every day, and her biological clock, which she has maintained for many years, has long been lost.
When Liang Chongyue woke up, there was no one in her arms anymore, and the sounds of Minglang and the system playing around reached her ears.
Liang Chongyue casually draped an outer robe over his shoulders, opened the window, and looked down into the courtyard.
Minglang built a really ugly snowman and kept shoving carrots into its face.
In comparison, the system and the one with the cat pile are much better looking.
However, based on Liang Chongyue's understanding of the system, it was most likely cheating.
Otherwise, Minglang shouldn't be so angry.
Liang Chongyue peered out the window for a while, until Minglang forced the system to recreate a bizarre mess, and only then did Minglang release the system.
After Minglang finished dealing with the system, it sneakily approached Minglang and, taking advantage of Minglang's inattention, bit off the twig arm that Minglang had just put on the snowman.
This amused Liang Chongyue, and looking at the noisy scene below, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Minglang heard Liang Chongyue's laughter and, forgetting about disciplining the puppy, waved to Liang Chongyue and said:
"Mother, come down quickly. Yuanbao is all cooked and waiting for you to eat together."
Minglang's words had barely faded when Feihe's voice rang out from the doorway.
"My lady, the hot water is ready. The madam is calling for Miss to come down for breakfast."
Having received a response from inside, Fei He pushed open the door and came in, preparing the teeth cleaning supplies and handkerchiefs before going to fetch His Majesty's clothes.
When Liang Chongyue finished tidying up and went downstairs with Fei He's help, the aroma of food wafted into her nose.
"Come and try this; it's all made with Minglang's skills."
Liang Chongyue followed her mother's gaze and glanced at the round gold ingots in her bowl. She said, "With Minglang's skills, how can the mother trust her to do it?"
Fortunately, she only rubbed the ingots together, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to eat them.
"Okay, I'll try it now."
After Liang Chongyue sat down, under the expectant gaze of the bright-eyed man, he took a bite of the solid ingot (glutinous rice ball), which actually didn't taste particularly special.
Liang Chongyue still praised it a few times: "It's good, delicious, and the size is just right, I can eat one in two bites."
Minglang was pleased with the praise. After finishing breakfast, no one came to pay their respects in Lin'an, and Liang Chongyue also had some free time.
Listening to the commotion outside, Liang Chongyue, her mother, and Minglang were playing mahjong inside the house.
Li Yu'an and Fei He can come on as substitutes at any time, but Liang Chongyue will never be substituted.
Even when they've lost all their chips, Li Yu'an and Fei He will voluntarily hand over their own chips.
Minglang has accused her of cheating many times because of this.
Starting the new year as an unreasonable person, Liang Chongyue was quite happy with it.
After lunch, when the Empress Dowager went to rest, Li Yu'an and Fei He all sat down at the table to accompany Liang Chongyue in her final battle.
Minglang glanced at the people around the table, then looked down at the chips in his hand. Before the Queen could shuffle the cards, he said:
"Let's make this clear first, no one is allowed to give anyone else any leverage this time."
Liang Chongyue's luck has been average these past two days. Since Minglang is still in the beginner protection period, she has basically never won against Minglang.
Seeing Minglang's seriousness, Liang Chongyue just smiled and remained silent. Helpless, Minglang slammed his fist on the table and said something harsh:
"Watch how I win all your chips today, and show you how you can bully me!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, children should begin with learning lessons.
The sound of shuffling mahjong tiles filled the air. Until just before dinner, Liang Chongyue looked at the high stack of chips beside her and smiled at Minglang.
Minglang has only one chip left; if he loses again, he'll have to play with the puppy.
"I will never lose."
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Minglang's last bargaining chip was transferred from her to Liang Chongyue by Li Yu'an.
Minglang pushed the mahjong tiles in front of him away: "I'm not playing with you guys anymore. You're all bullying me. I'm going to tell Grandma."
Liang Chongyue had been playing all day, and seeing Minglang leave in a huff, she raised her hand to signal the system to come over.
The system was playing mahjong with the kitten when it heard the host's call. It immediately picked up the kitten, which hadn't even had a chance to touch the mahjong tiles, and brought it to the host.
The kitten struggled desperately under its mouth, but to no avail.
The system responded vaguely to Liang Chongyue's words, drool dripping onto the kitten's fur.
"You filthy dog, wait until you put me down, then I'm going to fight you to the death."
The kitten's most precious possession is its shiny black fur.
Upon hearing this, the system tightened its grip on its mouth even more.
"Buy another set of those fireworks from yesterday, and prepare them every night before Minglang leaves."
Upon hearing that fireworks would be set off tonight, the kitten's reaction softened, and it obediently let the system carry it in its mouth.
"Don't worry, host, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
The system's voice that Liang Chongyue heard remained unchanged, but the puppy's whimpering sound in her ear was accompanied by drooling.
The system simply carried the kitten away. From a distance, Liang Chongyue could hear the system and the kitten explaining their situation.
Kitten: "Stop saying these useless things, are you just afraid I'll play cards?"
Without offering any explanation, the system picked up the kitten and rushed towards the storage room.
"You stinking dog, can't you keep your word? Once you've finished setting up the fireworks, we'll go back and have a final showdown."
After the system had arranged all the fireworks, the Empress Dowager started calling for dinner.
"Let's play after we finish eating, let's play after we finish eating."
The system was busy having dinner and could only deal with the kitten's disgruntled gaze.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at the dining hall, she saw that her mother was looking at her with a slightly reproachful gaze, but Liang Chongyue pretended not to notice.
"Let's set off fireworks after we finish eating. Let's set them off by the river. There should be a lot of kids gathered there tonight."
Minglang was about to complain to her face when he heard that they were going to set off fireworks by the river. His eyes lit up and he put aside all his complaints and other matters.
"Are they the same fireworks as yesterday?"
Liang Chongyue nodded and put a piece of meat into Minglang's bowl.
The conflict between mother and daughter was immediately resolved. Xiang Huayue saw everything, smiled helplessly, and said nothing.
She knew that His Majesty had the ability to anger Minglang, and also the ability to appease him.
After dinner, Li Yu'an, Fei He, Qin Xiaosi, Ping An... each of them held fireworks in their hands.
Even the system was carrying two buckets on its back.
The kitten was still perched on its head, directing it to move forward.
"If I had known, I should have chosen a larger one for you, so you could experience what it's like to carry a firework tube."
The kitten, thinking the system was talking nonsense, slapped the system on the head.
"If you're going to work, then work properly. Stop talking nonsense and watch where you're going!"
The system deliberately walked in a crooked and erratic manner, trying to shake the kitten off. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to an old tree, the kitten had no choice but to jump off the dog's head.
"Go crash into a tree yourself, I'm not playing with you anymore."
