EBE Chapter 1067 Adoption? I don't lack children.
Chapter 1067 Adoption? I don't lack children.
"Your Majesty, you don't already have someone in mind, do you? Minglang is still so young. If this kind of thing starts, how much self-control can a child have?"
Liang Chongyue quickly raised her hand to interrupt her mother; she only wanted to test the waters.
If we continue chatting, the Empress Dowager will start saying some rather crude and suggestive things.
"I was just asking a question, why is Your Majesty in such a hurry?"
I'm even more anxious than when I was looking for a partner for her.
“I’m not in a hurry. If Your Majesty is really eager to have a grandson, you can adopt one from the imperial clan and raise him with me. When he grows up, he can be given a title such as princess or prince, which will be enough.”
Liang Chongyue smiled helplessly.
She killed almost all the members of the imperial family, and most of the remaining ones left the capital.
Not to mention that she would never adopt a child; she already has enough of a headache with Minglang.
She was never someone who liked children.
That is, except for Minglang.
"That's not quite right. I was just thinking about how my mother used to worry that my harem wasn't full enough, so she gathered so many beautiful women for me. Minglang is getting older now, and once she comes back, this matter can be put on the agenda."
Seeing that His Majesty had said so, how could Xiang Huayue not understand what His Majesty meant?
"Is Your Majesty angry about the time I placed people in your harem back then?"
Liang Chongyue wasn't angry, but she was curious whether her mother would act the same way if the situation were Minglang's.
"Your Majesty has created a prosperous era. The situation was delicate back then, but it is clear that things are different from what Your Majesty did in the past. There is no need to be as anxious as Your Majesty was back then."
Since his mother had said everything, Liang Chongyue couldn't say anything more.
She understood that her mother was unwilling to let Minglang get married at such a young age.
"Indeed, this is a very important matter for Minglang. If Mother finds a suitable candidate in the future, she might as well let Minglang have a look first."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he placed a piece, and the game was decided.
"It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Mother Empress, you should rest early as well."
"It's windy outside, Your Majesty, don't forget your cloak when you leave."
After Liang Chongyue left with Yunling, Chun Chan whispered to the Empress while tidying up the chess pieces:
"Your Majesty, is His Majesty still angry with you from back then?"
Xiang Huayue smiled and put the white pieces back into the chess box.
“If Your Majesty were truly angry over such a trivial matter from back then, none of these women in the harem would be allowed to enter.”
Who is His Majesty? His Majesty's glorious years are enough to fill ten history books.
If His Majesty truly does not wish to, who can force her to?
"Your Majesty is merely testing my resolve. Fine, at worst, I will simply not interfere in this Minglang marriage."
After putting away the chessboard, Chun Chan asked the Empress a question, puzzled:
"But didn't His Majesty just ask the Empress to look for suitable candidates?"
Xiang Huayue looked at herself in the mirror.
"If Your Majesty truly allowed me to interfere in Your Majesty's marriage, you wouldn't have brought it up tonight. Your Majesty's intention is to wait for me to explain that Lang is still young and there's no rush."
Who said I spoil Minglang unconditionally? Clearly, His Majesty is the one who spoils Minglang the most.
Even if Minglang later finds a man with an ordinary family background and has a child.
His Majesty will surely say things he dislikes, but the child will have everything he deserves.
Xiang Huayue paused as she took off the ring from her hand. She had a feeling that Minglang already had someone like that by his side.
"Nanxing is injured. Has Your Majesty arranged for someone else to serve Minglang?"
Chun Chan shook his head.
"Only the Empress arranged for Chunxiang to serve His Highness's daily needs; His Majesty has not sent anyone else."
Xiang Huayue looked at herself in the mirror, somewhat confused about what His Majesty was trying to do.
"By the way, His Majesty has said that once Nanxing recovers from her injuries, she will serve Yunling in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. This is probably for His Majesty's sake."
This matter must be for the sake of clarity, Xiang Huayue had no doubt.
But seeing that Minglang would not be staying in the capital for long and would soon be leaving, His Majesty did not send any new maids to serve him.
Is this a plan to let Minglang start with a lighter burden?
"If Your Majesty is free tomorrow, please come and have breakfast."
Chun Chan thought for a moment. His Majesty rarely gets a break, so if he were to invite him this time, he would probably have to go a little late so as not to disturb His Majesty's rest.
"Yes, the servant understands."
When Liang Chongyue returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the puppy, the puppy beat her to it, rushed into the hall, and rolled around twice.
"Go find Iris to brush your fur; you smell like a dog."
The system then looked down and sniffed itself, and then saw a blade of grass stuck in the hair it had removed from its armpit.
Fortunately, the host didn't see it, otherwise it would have been awkward.
As Liang Chongyue walked, she pulled the hairpin out of her hair.
I wore it too heavily today. I didn't feel it during the day, but now it's really uncomfortable no matter what I do.
"Your Majesty, you've had a long day. Let me give you a head massage."
Previously, Liang Chongyue hadn't washed her hair in the Cining Palace's water room, and now her hair was down, as black as ink.
"Then I will lie down first."
Liang Chongyue suspected that his mother had put rice wine in the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup she made.
Although it wasn't obvious that she had drunk any alcohol, she did drink some at the dinner table.
With two opposing forces clashing, there's quite a bit of stuff going on.
She remembered that Minglang's alcohol tolerance was average; was this a private drinking session with his mother?
"Go and cook me a bowl of hangover soup."
"I've already instructed the maid to cook it, and Ping An is overseeing it."
Liang Chongyue then hummed in agreement and lay down to wait for Yunling to give him a head treatment.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Liang Chongyue fell asleep on the chaise lounge.
When Fei He brought in the freshly cooked hangover soup, she saw His Majesty lying on the chaise longue.
He was only covered with a blanket.
After putting down the hangover medicine, Fei He went to wait beside His Majesty.
Yunling was already used to it; barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ping An had most likely bumped into Lord Fei, who was about to enter, outside.
He shoved the hangover soup into Lord Fei's arms and stood waiting at the door.
They really do avoid coming in and lingering around His Majesty whenever possible.
Based on her understanding of Ping An, Yun Ling speculated that Ping An would only dare to serve the Emperor with peace of mind after the spring.
After this matter was dealt with, His Majesty no longer cared much about it.
Ping An remained as cautious as ever, as if His Majesty intended to harm him.
Serving the emperor, yet lacking the ability to take responsibility when something goes wrong, truly needs to be addressed.
Liang Chongyue was sleeping soundly when she smelled a familiar scent.
He opened his eyes a crack and saw Fei He standing in front of him.
After Yunling finished her head treatment, Liang Chongyue gestured for her to leave.
"Did you take Qin Xiaosi to identify those people and things?"
Fei He nodded and handed the hangover soup to His Majesty.
Liang Chongyue took it; the temperature was about right.
