Chapter 1209 A Sticky Farewell
Under the guise of recording Minglang's wonderful life, the system followed Minglang for several days in a row, setting up a camera and filming him.
Liang Chongyue found it funny at first, but after getting used to it, she stopped caring.
Let the system follow Minglang around like a fool.
Occasionally, the camera lens would be pointed at Liang Chongyue, and only then would Liang Chongyue ask it out of curiosity:
"Can't you watch the replay? What are you recording here now?"
The system dodged the host's long-legged attack with a big leap, and retreated triumphantly to a safe distance.
He then replied to the host: "How can they be the same? You don't understand, watching your own glorious memories is different from watching a replay."
Liang Chongyue really didn't understand; the system's single tap took her all the way back to the day Minglang left.
After the New Year, Minglang stayed in Lin'an for half a month. He stayed until he could no longer stay, and then reluctantly said goodbye to his mother and grandmother.
Liang Chongyue looked at the system with something in its mouth, tears streaming down her face, still unwilling to spit out the camera from its mouth for even a second.
Liang Chongyue was speechless.
At the insistence of his mother, Liang Chongyue escorted Minglang all the way to the city gate. Seeing Minglang clinging to his mother, Liang Chongyue turned her head away, unable to bear to look.
"Mother, remember to think of me."
Finally, it was her turn.
Liang Chongyue took off the jade pendant from her hand and put it on Minglang's wrist.
"I've worn it for many years, I'll keep it as a souvenir, the next time I see it will be in a few years."
One second Minglang was reluctant to let go and wanted to hug his mother tightly, but the next second he heard that the goodbye would be in a few years, and his eyes felt dry.
I can't even cry anymore.
"alright."
Minglang rode away from Lin'an, and Liang Chongyue waited until his figure disappeared from sight before his mother returned.
"Go back and pack your things. We'll leave tomorrow morning too."
The weather in Lin'an is starting to warm up. If we set off now, we can reach the next prefecture in just a few days.
As a result, when she went back to pack her things, her mother fell ill before the next day.
Looking at the medical report that the system had just sent, Liang Chongyue served her mother the herbal medicine and had no choice but to pause her departure.
"Host, you don't need to worry. The Empress is just getting old. When Minglang was around, she always played with him intensely. Now that Minglang is gone, she relaxes and easily gets sick."
Looking at the medical examination report, Liang Chongyue knew perfectly well that the system was telling the truth.
Over the years, she has been nourishing her mother's body with the most precious elixirs from the system's shop.
But life always has a destination, and it's difficult for people to defy fate.
"Let's stay in Lin'an for a while longer, until my mother is fully recovered and the weather is warmer before we leave."
Liang Chongyue sat by her mother's bedside, holding her hand and carefully instructing her on what to avoid eating these days.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
As Xiang Huayue grew older, she knew her health was not as good as before, and she should have been recuperating in Cining Palace.
She was happy to be brought out by His Majesty, but she was also uneasy if it would implicate her child.
"What are you saying, Mother? When you go out to play, you should be happy. Who can guarantee that you will never catch a cold in your life? Just take good care of yourself."
These days, Liang Chongyue has been staying by her mother's bedside to fulfill her filial duties.
Only after personally serving his mother as she dressed and ate did he realize that his reluctance to take medicine was inherited from her.
"No wonder I didn't like taking medicine when I was a child; it turns out my mother didn't like taking it either."
Xiang Huayue smiled and patted Liang Chongyue lightly: "This medicine is terribly bitter, not as good as the pills you gave me."
The medicines in the system store are also divided into different specifications, and not all medicines are pills that can be swallowed directly with water.
Liang Chongyue could only patiently coax her mother to eat, and she understood what it meant to have an elder in the family, like a treasure.
The Empress Dowager looks just like she did when she was a child.
By the time the Empress Dowager was finally appeased, the weather in Lin'an had also improved.
"Why don't you let Mother rest for a couple more days? There's no rush."
Liang Chongyue spoke up to dissuade him, saying that although the weather in Lin'an was warming up, it was still cold in the mornings and evenings.
"You can pack your things away now. If the sun is strong in a couple of days, we'll set off."
The Empress Dowager handled all these matters, and Liang Chongyue had no say in them, so she could only follow her mother's instructions.
Two days later, the sun was shining warmly on her body. Liang Chongyue stood in the sunlight and watched as Aunt Chun Chan and Aunt Chun Xiang, who were beside her mother, methodically directed the servants to pack up.
When I arrived, I didn't have much stuff, but after living here for more than half a year, I ended up with more than a dozen boxes of stuff.
"Don't bring the things you don't need, and send the more valuable ones back to the capital."
Liang Chongyue herself didn't buy much, but she had more than a dozen boxes left over. At least seven or eight of them were bought by Minglang here, but he didn't take them with him when he left.
Liang Chongyue checked every single box: "Send that piece back."
The things she was pointing to were all items that Minglang had bought.
After planning it this way, they only need to bring five boxes.
And that doesn't even include the burdens each person carries.
They were able to travel light.
On the day Liang Chongyue set off, Minglang returned to the capital and the first thing he did was to let Liang Chongyue know he was safe through the kitten.
What awaited her next was a mountain of memorials, enough to fill the entire outer hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Minglang looked at the mountain of memorials, closed his eyes, and pretended that he had never been there.
But when she opened her eyes, the memorials were still there. Fortunately, her mother taught her a trick.
Otherwise, she would have been exhausted on her very first day back.
Minglang ignored the memorials and directly summoned Prime Minister Jiang, the Duke of Dingguo, and her companions to the palace.
He wasn't in such a rush when he returned, and Minglang still had the energy to handle government affairs.
Prime Minister Jiang and the Duke of Dingguo had already received the news when the Crown Princess arrived in the capital.
He went home early and waited at the palace gate with his notebook containing records of government affairs from this period.
Jiang Jiaoyun and the others arrived a little later.
When they arrived, Minglang was already reviewing government affairs.
In one afternoon, most of the memorials piled up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were processed.
If it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Jiang is getting on in years, Minglang would definitely have stayed up all night.
"You've all worked hard. Let's call it a day and discuss this further after the morning court session tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang and the others closed their notebooks and bowed to the Crown Princess, saying, "We take our leave."
Minglang was tired today and didn't leave anyone behind.
Since her mother left the capital, she has moved to live in the Eastern Palace.
Occasionally, I would return to my grandmother's little garden to have a meal and a cup of tea, reminiscing about the days I spent there.
Exhausted tonight, Minglang fell asleep as soon as he got back to the East Palace to take a bath.
It was Nanxing who woke her up.
She said that she was already so tired from handling government affairs every day, and she really didn't know what her mother and grandmother were worrying about.
I was thinking that she had given birth to all her children over the years, and that I would take care of the children as soon as they came back.
The problem is, where would she find the time?
