The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

The slightly low voice of an elderly woman, neither loud nor soft, neither slow nor fast, brought him back to his senses.

Ning Huaixuan waved his hands irritably, thinking that since Nanny Huang was so loyal, she must be buried with the Queen Mother when she died.

"The Ji family is ungrateful. I went to invite Ji Mengshu back in person, but I couldn't. Humph, they simply don't take me seriously!" This was the truth. Ji Mengshu just stayed in that broken mountain villa and refused to come out no matter what.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I will talk to the Queen Mother in person later."

There was no one around, so Nanny Huang tactfully withdrew.

Liu Huachao held back tears and spoke in a very soft voice, "Your Majesty..."

"Hua Chao... I am sorry for you and for making you suffer." Ning Huaixuan put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean comfortably in his arms. If the Queen Mother had not repeatedly wanted the Ji family's daughter to marry into the palace, he and Hua Chao would have been a perfect match.

"Your Majesty, why did Ji Mengshu treat me like this? She must have recognized me, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?" So coincidental that the person she arranged for herself ended up causing herself to suffer the consequences?

Thinking about it again today, I suddenly feel that there were loopholes in everything that happened last night. Ji Mengshu looked obedient on the surface, but in fact she was very jealous of Hua Chao. Otherwise, she would not have pushed Hua Chao off the rockery.

Many people in his arms were dissatisfied, so Ning Huaixuan said, "Don't worry, as long as the Queen Mother still doesn't give in, Ji Mengshu will inevitably have to enter the palace. In this way, whether she, Ji Mengshu, is flat or round in the palace, it is up to Hua Chao to decide."

Liu Huachao laughed, as if she could already see the days in the future when Ji Mengshu would make a living under her. That would definitely be extremely interesting.

After pacifying Liu Huachao, Ning Huaixuan went to the Empress Dowager's palace. After all, the Empress Dowager's family was the Ji family. Although she didn't say how much she favored the Ji family, after all, broken bones are connected with tendons. If the future queen was a daughter of the Ji family, it would naturally be of great help to the Empress Dowager and the Ji family.

Ning Huaixuan did not handle many political affairs, but the interest relationship among the royal family was still visible.

"Royal Grandmother."

The elegant old lady reclining in the chair had her black hair turning white and her loose eyelids drooping a little, but her energetic eyes could still be seen.

Nanny Huang stood quietly by the side, like a lifeless pottery figurine.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that the person coming was the Emperor, she did not change her attitude and just said, "Sit down, Meng Shu is still living in the villa?"

Ning Huaixuan nodded.

"It seems that your sincerity is not enough, so people don't want to give you this face..." The Queen Mother has experienced ups and downs in the harem for decades. How could she not see that there is no friendship between Ji Mengshu and Ning Huaixuan?

However, between the royal family and the aristocratic families, and between children, affection may not be needed, but marriage is needed.

The fist hidden under the wide sleeves clenched impatiently, then unclenched, then clenched again, then unclenched... Ning Huaixuan said nothing, as if he knew that no matter what he said in his defense, the fault would always be his.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager is right."

The Queen Mother moved her body and slowly stood up with the help of Nanny Huang. "The Emperor has grown up and his temperament has become much calmer. I am a little tired today. In this case, the Emperor will leave first."

Ning Huaixuan frowned and bowed, "Grandmother, what about Ji Mengshu..."

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get her into the palace."

Ning Huaixuan walked quietly along the palace road alone, with the words of the Queen Mother circling in her mind, Ji Mengshu will enter the palace... Oh, no matter, once she enters the palace, it will no longer be her, Ji Mengshu's, world. What happens then will not be her decision.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and many noble ladies in the city had already taken their families to the villa to escape the heat. Ji Mengshu lay peacefully on the pearwood lounge chair and took a nap, letting the broken flowers from the tree fall all over her body.

Beautiful like a flower.

"Miss, the sun is getting higher, you should go inside...Sister Hongye will be back from collecting ice soon..." Qingzhu counted the hours on her fingers. They had been staying at the villa for almost a month, but no one from the Ji family came to give them anything. Even things like shopping had to be done by Hongye herself.

In contrast, Ji Mengshu is happy and free. He can be self-reliant even without anyone to control him. As long as he has money, there is nothing he can't do on his own. Why should he rely on others?

The door creaked open, and there was a slight rustling sound from the courtyard gate. Qingzhu put down the work in his hands and said, "Miss, I'll go and help."

Turning from the second courtyard gate and walking along the Langhua Path, I happened to see a few servants in the yard carrying a basket of ice.

Ji Mengshu waved across the path, "Thank you for your hard work, Hongye."

"It's all my duty. The previous supplier said he would keep some for us, but there's a shortage of ice in the city, so it must have been used by the wealthy families. He actually sold the ice reserved for us to others..."

Hongye complained silently. She was the personal maid of the legitimate daughter of the Ji family. Normally, when she was at home, she would not be responsible for the shopping. But today, when she went out, she realized how difficult it was to do the shopping.

Ji Mengshu waved her embroidered round fan and said with a smile, "So, Miss Hongye has worked really hard..."

Hongye couldn't stand such praise, her face flushed with shame, "No, no, it's all my duty."

Ji Mengshu was so confused that he forgot to wave the round fan in his hand. He stared at the dead leaf on the tree in a daze.

In her previous life, after she successfully joined the palace, the entire harem's affairs were in her hands. It was not easy to handle the affairs of a harem. Hongye Qingzhu was her right-hand man, helping her do a lot of things.

But later... Ji Mengshu felt a lump in her throat. Hongye was framed by Liu Huachao, had her hands chopped off, and was beaten to death with sticks. It happened right in front of her palace gate. She watched Hongye, who had served her for twenty years, die in front of her eyes.

She wanted to eat Ning Huaixuan and Liu Huachao alive and drink their blood. But she still had a sense of justice in her heart. Ning Huaixuan was the emperor of the Dali Dynasty. If he died, the throne of the Dali Dynasty would be replaced, and the people would suffer. So she endured it again and again, but what would happen in the end? What good ending would it have...

"Miss...Miss...what are you in a daze about?"

Qingzhu came closer with a smile, "It's hot outside, Miss, go back to your room and rest."

Ji Mengshu concealed her emotions calmly and chuckled, "Okay." No matter what, in this life, she would only protect the people she protected.

There was a basin of ice in the room, which made it a little cooler. Hongye slapped his head and suddenly remembered something. He took out a letter from his arms.

"Miss, this was given to you by someone outside the manor."

Qingzhu came over curiously and looked at the words on the outside of the cover. "Is it a letter from Miss Li? Miss Li must have heard that our girl is suffering here and came to stand up for her..."
