Guan Zhiyue entered the palace that evening, originally intending to stay at the Fan residence.

However, because the emperor was in the palace and kept urging them to hurry, they had no choice but to return to the palace with Eunuch Hua.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back."

"yes!"

"We miss you so much."

Guan Zhiyue looked at the Cold Palace, which remained unchanged, and felt an indescribable joy in her heart!

"Old Liu, nothing in our palace has changed, right?" Guan Zhiyue asked Liu Debao.

Liu Debao quickly and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured..."

Everything in our company remains unchanged; everything is in good condition.

Guan Zhiyue nodded with great relief. What she feared most was that things would change, and she was also most afraid that people's hearts would change after she was gone for a year.

"Mother, can we play outside for a while?"

Chang Le returned to the Cold Palace, the place she had spent her childhood, and felt very gratified.

Looking at everything in the yard, which seemed so familiar, I couldn't resist wanting to have some more fun.

Guan Zhiyue looked at Chang Le, then at the other two little kids, and nodded.

Let Bilian lead the little ones to play in the yard.

She walked around the yard by herself and found that something seemed to be missing.

"Liu Debao, tomorrow you summon the people from the Manufacturing Department to transform this courtyard into a garden."

A children's playground. Guan Zhiyue remembered, but always felt something was missing.

So that's what was missing!

Their childhood should have been happy; Chang Le is now over three years old.

We should learn while playing; in ancient times, children began their early education at the age of three.

Rosamund Kwan wouldn't break this rule, but she still wanted to have children.

Learning while playing is the only way to achieve a balance between work and rest. She originally thought that such a young child...

Is it too early to start learning now? But I think it's good to start learning sooner rather than later.

Children in this age group shouldn't focus primarily on studying; they should prioritize play.

In her eyes, a child this age should have a happy childhood.

We shouldn't wait until we're old to look back and find that all our childhood memories are filled with the atmosphere of learning.

"Yes, this old servant will go first thing tomorrow morning."

“However, Your Majesty, there is something this old servant doesn’t understand: what is an amusement park?” Liu Debao asked.

Guan Zhiyue laughed and said, "Oh dear, look at my brain! I'll go back to my room and draw for you."

"Take these to the manufacturing department tomorrow morning and have their carpentry workshop make these toys. You and your men should tidy up the garden tomorrow."

"Yes, this old servant obeys."

Guan Zhiyue didn't say anything more. After tidying up her things, she returned to the study.

Actually, they entered the space, found a book about modern children's playgrounds, and then...

I drew all sorts of things, including bubble pools, SpongeBob SquarePants, White Rabbit candy, and so on.

They had the manufacturing department make it entirely out of wood, and even drew lots of building blocks.

She could originally buy things within the space, but she still wanted to check out the manufacturing department here.

She browsed through the space to see how well the toys were made, as well as other educational toys like Luban locks.

Li Qiji had just returned and had a lot of memorials to deal with. When he returned to the Cold Palace tonight...

It was already very late, and I didn't expect to see the study light on when I came back.

The lights were still on, and that's when I realized that Guan Zhiyue had been busy in the study ever since she came back.

He knocked on Guan Zhiyue's door and angrily asked why she wasn't resting properly. He asked how her eyes could take it to read by lamplight so late at night.

"Yue'er, what are you doing? The light is so dim, can your eyes handle it?"

Guan Zhiyue nodded, then stuck out her tongue, indicating, "Yes, I understand, butler."

"Let's go, let's go to sleep, let's go to sleep."

The two walked out of the study hand in hand, and Guan Zhiyue asked softly, "Have you finished your official business?"

Li Qiji nodded and said, "It's all taken care of. Why aren't you sleeping in your room so late at night?"

Guan Zhiyue said with a smile, "I want to build an amusement park for the children, so I'm drawing up the blueprints!"

Li Qiji had also seen it in the space, so he knew what she meant by 'amusement park'.

"Is the drawing finished? Do you need any help?"

Guan Zhiyue was somewhat surprised and looked up at Li Qiji, "You don't object?"

Li Qiji reached out and affectionately patted the top of her head before saying, "Why would I object? This is your affection! Why would I object?"

"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said. This is the best option, so I think it's fine."

Guan Zhiyue nodded and said, "I just wanted Chang Le and the others to have happy childhood memories, so I did this."

Li Qiji exclaimed, "It's so good to have you. I never had such wonderful childhood memories before!"

A slight awkwardness settled in for a moment as Guan Zhiyue sat in Li Qiji's hand.

She scratched herself gently before saying, "I don't have one either, which is why I want my child to have a good future!"

Li Qiji smiled knowingly and squeezed Guan Zhiyue's hand even tighter. Tonight was destined to be an unforgettable night.

---

The next morning, Li Qiji left very early as usual. Guan Zhiyue got up and made sure the children were settled.

She secluded herself in the study, studying the little toys she had never played with before.

So she wanted to try it out first, just in case the little kids wouldn't know how.

Then you ask her to teach you, but you don't know how yourself. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"Knock knock knock~"

Who is it?

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has come to visit!" Bilian said respectfully at the door.

Guan Zhiyue was shocked. Why would Shan Liuxian come looking for her? She hadn't seen him for a year!

She put everything back into her spatial storage before getting up and opening the door. There she saw Shan Liuxian already sitting on the stone bench.

"Your Excellency, what brings you to my palace?"

Shanliuxian's long, flowing white hair, and her purple Taoist robe with cloud patterns...

She looked incredibly ethereal, like a celestial being descended from heaven.

"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress has returned to the palace, so I came to pay my respects. After all, she is my friend, isn't she?"

Guan Zhiyue looked Shan Liuxian up and down before saying, "Grand Preceptor, our country is now peaceful and prosperous..."

I'd like to ask the Imperial Preceptor why you've taken a wife? Many of us from this group have found our place, have you...?

After hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Shan Liuxian stared at her blankly for a long time, remaining silent.

Until Guan Zhiyue felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to twist her neck,

Shanliu Xiancai awkwardly spoke up, "This humble Taoist is a monk, all alone, how dare I speak of beautiful women?"

Guan Zhiyue disagreed, and said, "I don't think so. Why can't we get married?"

Everyone should be able to find someone they like; it's good to have someone you like.

Shan Liuxian repeated Guan Zhiyue's words, "As for someone I like, I should have one too."

"Who is it? Do I know them?"

Shanliusen shook his head and slowly said, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"Let me guess?"

Shan Liuxian didn't answer, so Guan Zhiyue said directly, "Could it be a woman the Imperial Advisor knew before?"

Or perhaps one of the emperor's former concubines, or maybe someone you knew before?

Shan Liuxian remained silent, but a hint of warmth flickered in her eyes as she looked at Guan Zhiyue.

Guan Zhiyue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "You wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?"

"This humble Taoist priest has already prepared to protect Your Majesty for the rest of his life. May Your Majesty and the Emperor grow old together in loving harmony."

Guan Zhiyue was still somewhat shocked to hear Shan Liuxian say that, but after thinking about it,

There doesn't seem to be anything shocking anymore; these people just have unresolved issues...

"Since that's the case, I don't know how to persuade you. I only hope that the Grand Preceptor can do something he won't regret."
