Chapter 1192 A Lack of Proper Conduct
Li Yu'an peeked out from behind Liang Chongyue, his hand still firmly around Liang Chongyue's waist.
He held her tightly, his protruding eyes fixed intently on Liang Chongyue.
The emotions in his eyes were complex; he wanted to hear the truth, yet he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want.
"You must know how busy I've been these days, right? If I wanted to say goodbye, I wouldn't have made this trip."
Upon hearing the answer he had been longing for, Li Yu'an's dazed eyes shone as brightly as the stars in the sky.
"Your Majesty is so kind. I knew Your Majesty still cares about me."
Liang Chongyue smiled and patted his hand, which was on her waist, twice.
"Knowing this, you still act so rudely. If word gets out, what will happen to your reputation as Empress?"
Li Yu'an wasn't actually drunk; he just wanted to let loose a little while he was under the influence of alcohol.
"Then let it spread. I have lost face, and His Majesty cannot abandon me and leave me to face the rumors alone. He must keep me by his side until the rumors in the capital dissipate before bringing me back."
As he said this, Li Yu'an nestled his head against Liang Chongyue's neck and chuckled foolishly.
It was as if they were saying sweet nothings.
"You have such a sweet tongue, why don't I see you like this on other days?"
Li Yu'an: "Others are afraid that His Majesty will think I am not dignified enough."
Liang Chongyue: "So you're not afraid today?"
Li Yu'an: "I'm scared today too, but not as scared as usual."
It was rare to see Li Yu'an act so coquettishly, so Liang Chongyue also became interested in playing along with him.
"Besides me, will His Majesty bring anyone else along?"
After their antics, Li Yu'an still held His Majesty in his arms, refusing to let go for even a moment.
Liang Chongyue struggled a few times, only to be met with his whining and coquettish whining, leaving Liang Chongyue helpless.
She could only let him hold her like that.
"And Fei He, you're the only one in the harem."
She wasn't so eager to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives. She already had two women in the palace, so of course she wanted to travel light when going out.
If she has too many men around, she'll easily become jealous and competitive, and then she'll have to appease one after another.
I really have no interest in it.
"Your Majesty is very kind."
Li Yu'an and Fei He had reached a consensus long ago: neither of them could drive the other away, so they might as well learn to behave better and gain more favor from His Majesty.
"You've said this several times today. Can you let me go now? I need to go wash up."
Li Yu'an picked Liang Chongyue up in his arms.
"I carried His Majesty to wash up."
Liang Chongyue had no way to deal with this sticky guy and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
"Does Your Majesty know? I've been looking forward to your arrival these past few days, both afraid that you'll come and afraid that you won't."
After washing up, Liang Chongyue nestled in Li Yu'an's arms, listening to his rambling.
I'm afraid you'll come to say goodbye, and I'm also afraid you'll leave without even thinking of seeing me one last time.
Liang Chongyue chuckled softly: "Is that how you see me?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, Liang Chongyue thought of the men she had neglected in the harem.
She doesn't seem to be doing much better.
"His Majesty is not like that, at least not to me."
What a hypocritical statement, but coming from Li Yu'an, it sounds very straightforward and genuine.
"Go to sleep, I have to attend court early tomorrow morning."
After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she closed her eyes to go to sleep, but Li Yu'an behind her was not behaving himself.
He only calmed down after patting the back of his hand twice.
"Okay, sleep."
Liang Chongyue slept soundly. When she woke up early, she saw Li Yu'an already dressed.
"Why are you up so early? Didn't I tell you I didn't need you to help me change my clothes?"
Li Yu'an smiled and handed the wet handkerchief to His Majesty.
"It is my honor to serve Your Majesty in washing and changing clothes."
Liang Chongyue chuckled upon hearing this: "Is it no longer mine today?"
A blush crept across Li Yu'an's cheeks. He wasn't actually very drunk last night; he just wanted to test His Majesty's tolerance for him.
"I was wrong last night, I won't do it again."
Liang Chongyue didn't say anything to him, just waiting for him to leave the capital and embarrass her.
Li Yu'an personally prepared all the breakfasts, according to her own taste.
"Your Majesty, please try this Three Delicacies Bamboo Shoots."
Whenever Liang Chongyue is around, you'll almost never see Li Yu'an eating by himself.
Li Yu'an always stared at her, as if he could see something in her.
"You eat yours, I'll go to court after I finish eating."
Li Yu'an responded gently, but still only served her food.
Once Liang Chongyue had said it once, Li Yu'an wouldn't repeat it a second time unless she listened.
Because no matter how much you say, he won't listen.
"Alright, I'll be going now. You can eat slowly."
After saying this, Liang Chongyue got up, and Li Yu'an escorted her to the entrance of Kunning Palace before returning home.
After returning, he ate the portion that His Majesty had not finished.
Cheng Zhao, who was watching from the side, could hardly bear to look at it.
"Your Majesty, this bowl has already been eaten."
Li Yu'an looked up at Cheng Zhao, who immediately understood and shut up and left.
"What do you know? Being able to eat what His Majesty leaves behind is true happiness."
After the morning court session, Liang Chongyue realized that the news of his impending departure from the capital was no secret in the palace.
So they simply sent the imperial edict to deliver the message of peace.
She was about to leave the palace for a trip, and apart from Li Yu'an, she would not take any of the concubines with her.
To prevent these people from indulging in unrealistic fantasies.
Inside Kunning Palace, Li Yu'an was packing his belongings. When the imperial edict arrived, he couldn't hide the happy smile in his eyes.
The concubines in other palaces were not as fortunate as Li Yu'an.
Although they knew that His Majesty might not take them along, they couldn't help but harbor some hope before the imperial edict arrived.
Now, all illusions have been shattered.
Some were secretly distressed, while others, being bolder, went directly to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to seek help.
Ping An and Yun Ling stopped them and persuaded them to go back.
When evening came, Yunling and Ping'an walked up to Liang Chongyue together.
Liang Chongyue was listening to a story when she saw the two of them appear together and looked up in confusion.
"What do you want from me?"
Yunling spoke first: "We servants want to know which one of us His Majesty will take out of the palace so that we can prepare in advance."
Liang Chongyue was stumped by the question, and then laughed.
"What am I keeping you all in the palace for? To help Minglang make decisions?"
Liang Chongyue herself didn't even leave any final advice for Minglang, so why would she keep someone else around?
Ping An's eyes lit up upon hearing this:
"Does His Majesty mean to take us all with him?"
Liang Chongyue nodded, and Ping An was practically jumping for joy.
"They're all forty years old, and they still don't act properly."
Even after Yunling told him, Ping An couldn't hide his joy.
He had a hard time making ends meet when he was a child, and after moving to Beijing, he never left the capital.
Being able to accompany His Majesty to tour the vast lands of the Great Xia is something I can boast about to the ghosts even after I die.
