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

"Meng Shu, who is that person next to you?"

Ji Mengshu explained with a smile, "Your Highness, this is my third cousin Ji Ningqiu."

Ji Ningqiu was worried, and she looked up, not daring to look at the man on the throne. The empty palace was full of oppression even for the slightest breathing sound.

She would never be as comfortable as Ji Mengshu.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and nodded, "Everyone get up...Meng Shu, come here."

When approaching the old man who looked particularly kind, only Ji Mengshu knew that the people in the palace were best at disguise, which could make a person feel that the other party had absolutely no offensive power at all.

The Queen Mother held Ji Mengshu's hands lovingly and said angrily, "Shu'er, don't be angry with that silly boy... He went to the villa to see you in person before, and he was sincerely repentant..."

Ji Mengshu sneered in her heart. It would be strange if she believed it.

"I don't know what that silly boy did later to make you unhappy. He actually left you alone in the villa for a month. Don't worry, I have already dealt with that silly boy..." The empress dowager's words were full of kindness, as if Ji Mengshu's rejection of Ning Huaixuan last time was just a sullen act on her part.

"Queen Mother..."

"Why call her Empress Dowager? That's for outsiders. Call her Imperial Grandmother." The Empress Dowager smiled and held her hand, looking like her biological grandmother.

"Royal Grandmother."

"Good boy, that's right." The Queen Mother ordered someone to clean up the bedroom. "Last time, Huaixuan made you angry. This time, let him stay in the palace and make amends to you."

Ji Mengshu frowned, thinking, as expected, what's the point of saying apology? What's the point of saying that the emperor dared to apologize? It's just an excuse to keep her in the palace.

"Grandmother...Brother Huaixuan must really dislike me...I...Why am I here to bother him?" Ji Mengshu was emotional, and she was so sincere that Oscar owed her a little golden man. She kept muttering in her heart that she didn't want to stay in the palace.

Ji Ningqiu saw this and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She pretended to be so pure and innocent before, and was indifferent to Brother Huaixuan, but in her heart she was still thinking about Brother Huaixuan. This person is really good at pretending.

Really good at pretending - Ji Mengshu sobbed with a handkerchief in her hand, as if she had suffered a great injustice. The Queen Mother was very distressed, "Oh, my dear, our Shu'er is a fairy. Ning Huaixuan can't see now because he is blind. He will regret it later."

Ji Mengshu sneered and thought to herself, Queen Mother, if you think so, you are wrong. In her previous life, although she married Ning Huaixuan under the arrangement of her family, in the end Ning Huaixuan never fell in love with her until his death.

No matter what she said, she couldn't leave the palace anyway. Ji Mengshu wiped away her tears and was too lazy to act anymore. She took Ji Ningqiu and left.

Bringing Ji Ningqiu here today, isn't that just like bringing a moving human target?

as predicted.

That night, Liu Huachao heard that Ji Mengshu had come to the palace at the invitation of the Empress Dowager, and she cried and made a fuss in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, wishing she could hang herself to force Ning Huaixuan to drive her out.

In her heart, she still gnashed her teeth and thought viciously that the Queen Mother was truly a stumbling block on her road to becoming the mother of the country!

In the end, Ning Huaixuan had to swear and accuse Liu Huachao to calm down, and only left after rewarding him with a large pile of gold and silver jewelry.

Liu Huachao looked at the golden jewelry or the agate tribute from the Western Regions with satisfaction. Naturally, he was very happy and immediately forgot about Ji Mengshu's visit to the palace.

The maidservants who served beside her could not help but envy, "Your Majesty, His Majesty really loves you with all his heart. Such a fine gem will only be reserved for Your Majesty."

Liu Huachao snorted softly. Her long life as a royal concubine had made her fingers regain their former pink and round color. She also looked more noble than when she was a palace maid.

But her manners are still not neat and neat, and she looks a bit frivolous.

"His Majesty likes me...this gem is mine, but what if one day His Majesty falls in love with someone else?" Liu Huachao picked up a pink bead and crushed it carefully.

The maids were trembling with fear, not knowing how to answer such a life-threatening question, so they could only hang their heads and remain silent. A brave maid wanted to win the favor of the imperial concubine, so she said, "Your Majesty is so beautiful, how could His Majesty fall in love with someone else?"

This was a nice thing to say. Liu Huachao chuckled. She was indeed good-looking, otherwise she would not have caught the eye of His Majesty and risen to fame overnight.

Liu Huachao picked up a hairpin decorated with golden conch shells, walked slowly to the palace maid who was speaking, and said with a smile, "You are much more talkative than those wooden lumps. Take it, this is a reward from me."

The golden spiral hairpin was quite heavy, and just when the maid was about to take it to express her gratitude, Liu Huachao's hand holding the hairpin suddenly turned an arc and held the hairpin straight up to lift the maid's chin.

"Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The maid said truthfully, "Your Majesty, I used to work for Concubine Hui, and was later sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I just came here recently."

"Is that so?" Liu Huachao just lowered his head to look at her face, too proud to even bend his waist. The palace maid lowered her eyes and dared not look around, she just felt as if there was a poisonous snake slithering on her face.

I instantly regretted my bold response.

Liu Huachao didn't seem to mind it at all, and he gently slid the golden conch hairpin across her face, "You have a pretty face... What a pity..."

Before he understood what was going on, the palace maid suddenly screamed "Ah——" which made everyone present lose three of their seven souls and tremble all over.

The bloody hairpin was thrown to the ground lightly, and large drops of blood fell down her cheeks. Liu Huachao slowly turned around.

The senior maid who had served her for a long time naturally knew her temper. She looked at the maid kneeling on the ground with her hands covering her bloodstained face and said indifferently, "The queen has given you a hairpin, why don't you thank her quickly?"

Power can kill people.

The maid trembled as she thanked him. After that, she was never seen in the imperial concubine's palace again.

Ji Mengshu's temporary residence was not far from the main hall. It would be inappropriate for an unmarried woman to live in the harem.

However, everyone also knew that the one living in Zhuoqing Pavilion was the future Empress. This news spread quickly, and almost everyone in the harem knew about it.

Ning Huaixuan has been in office for many years, and the harem is quite full. Apart from the favored Concubine Liu, I have never heard that His Majesty has a crush on anyone.

But everyone in the palace is a smart person. Since they can't get the emperor's favor, they must at least build a good relationship with the future empress.
