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

Ning Rongzhang watched her sleep soundly and only woke up when the banquet was about to end.

Hongye stood beside her, watching her with his eyes and her nose, and at the critical moment when the banquet was about to end, he poked her with his hand.

Ji Mengshu was awakened by Hongye.

There was no difference between when she was asleep and when she was awake. The tassel pendant on her head swayed slightly, and her bright eyes opened.

Ning Huaixuan left first and saw off the guests in that hall properly. Only then did Ji Mengshu dare to move his stiff neck and arms.

"Let's go. Let's go back too."

Two palace maids holding lanterns walked in front. The outside was covered with silver frost. She was wearing a cloak and walking on the silent palace road.

The maids in the hall had already lit the candles, and the warm yellow candlelight shining through the windows was particularly comforting.

late at night.

Ji Mengshu had just dozed off for a while at the banquet, and now she was lying on the bed, not sleepy at all. Since she had nothing to do, she put on a cloak, slightly propped up the window, and looked at the night view outside.

The hurricane lamp under the porch had long been extinguished, and the years in the courtyard had changed so much that it was impossible to tell what day it was.

Suddenly, there were one or two rustling sounds of tiles on the roof of the bedroom. If someone else heard it, they would definitely be startled and then carefully check whether it was a cat or a person who disturbed the tiles.

Ji Mengshu walked curiously in the yard, with no panic on her face, but a hint of joy. Ning Rongzhang also walked over and stood side by side with her. Looking up, he saw a young man standing on the roof.

Under the moonlight, his facial features looked a little blurry, and only the fox fur coat he was wearing outlined his figure.

Ji Mengshu tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was not afraid that he was an assassin at all, and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"

The young man on the roof was holding a pot of wine in his left hand. It was obvious that he wanted to find a place where he could drink alone without being disturbed. However, he found a palace where the owner had not gone to bed yet so late at night.

Wu Yanhe narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl standing in the courtyard. He seemed to have seen her in the hall just now, so he said, "It's your destiny."

Now it was Ji Mengshu's turn to laugh. She opened her bright eyes, as if all her thoughts were hidden in these eyes that were like stars.

In the end, the two of them somehow found themselves sitting together on the roof, sharing the liquor in the wine bag, and both sides were tactful enough not to ask each other's name.

Perhaps tonight is just a dream, allowing two strangers to sit together and drink in an especially harmonious way.

And only, it can only happen this time.

Luanzhou's wine was strong. She looked out at the moonlight, and after just two sips her eyes became a little dazed.

Ning Rongzhang sat next to her and thought to himself, it turns out that these two had met once in their previous life. I'm afraid Wu Yanhe has long forgotten her now.

He watched Wu Yanhe carry the drunk Ji Mengshu into the bedroom without disturbing anyone. He lifted the quilt and covered her with it. The young man then turned around and left.

Ning Rongzhang stood in the hall, watching the young man leave alone.

-

Four seasons passed in circles, and soon, news came that Liu Huachao was pregnant.

Hongye came in with the news, only to see her reclining on a bamboo chair, eating slightly sour apricots.

"Miss, if the imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, wouldn't it be like a bastard taking the title of eldest son for nothing?"

The sour feeling in her mouth exploded again. She waved her hand and asked someone to take away the sour apricots and change to other food.

"Why are you panicking? The concubine's child is my child. No matter who in the harem can give birth to the child, I am the legitimate mother."

Hongye was still a little worried and said, "Although she is the legitimate mother, she is not her own child after all, so her heart will naturally be biased."

Yes, people’s hearts are biased.

Ji Mengshu didn't care. "Giving birth to a child is like walking around in front of the gate of the King of Hell's Palace. I haven't lived enough."

Her greatest wish in this life is to have peace and stability throughout the four seasons and for the Ji family to be safe and sound.

The news that the imperial concubine was pregnant soon spread throughout the palace. Ning Huaixuan favored her even more than before, and all the exotic treasures in the palace were sent to Imperial Concubine Liu like water.

How can it not be enviable?

Giving birth in September.

Even if the Empress Dowager didn't say it, she would still recognize Ji Mengshu as her biological mother.

Ning Rongzhang then saw a young woman become a mother. The child was still raised by Liu Huachao.

As time went by, the days passed, until Ning Huaixuan was bedridden. The Empress Dowager issued an edict to register Concubine Liu's son under the name of the Empress.

Liu Huachao had no one to rely on, so he could only run to Ning Huaixuan's bedside and cry. It would have been fine once or twice, but after a long time, the empress dowager placed Liu Huachao under house arrest in the bedroom on the pretext of disturbing Her Majesty's rest.

In the 32nd year of the Dali period, Emperor Ning Huaixuan died of illness.

In the 34th year of Dali, Concubine Liu Huachao died of illness.

In the 35th year of the Dali period, the Empress Dowager died.

The only heir to the throne was raised by Ji Mengshu.

Ning Rongzhang watched her get married, become someone else's mother, and then become the empress dowager, second only to the emperor.

Originally, I thought she would end up living alone, but when the young emperor, who had just ascended the throne, handed her a cup of midnight wine.

Ning Rongzhang admitted that he had underestimated the viciousness of human nature.

She was a child she had raised herself, but drinking a cup of wine in the middle of the night could have killed her.

Ji Mengshu sat in the hall, looking at the crazy and hysterical little emperor, as if she had never known him. She saw the shadow of the late imperial concubine on his face.

"why is that?"

"I remember my biological mother told me that she and the Queen were mortal enemies. So, now that I have become the emperor, I will naturally avenge my biological mother."

Having long been accustomed to the unpredictable life and death in the palace, Ji Mengshu did not frown even when the poisoned wine was placed in front of her. She looked calm and said in a calm voice, "Your biological mother has been fighting with me all my life, and the late emperor always put her first in everything. What are you holding a grudge against?"

"You, this vicious woman, killed my mother! Today I will kill you to avenge my mother!"

A trace of painful hatred flashed in the young man's eyes.

If it were before, she was still the young lady of the high and mighty Ji family, with the support of the Ji family behind her. Even if she became the empress dowager, the little emperor would not dare to act rashly.

Unfortunately, before Ning Huaixuan passed away, he teamed up with the Queen Mother to bring down the Ji family.

Since Ji Mengshu is the empress dowager, if the Ji family behind her is too powerful, people will inevitably think that Ji Mengshu is holding the young emperor hostage and ruling the country from behind the scenes.

She sighed barely perceptibly and suddenly felt that her life had been a joke.
