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

She said this politely, she just wanted to go to Beijing.

Lord Wan turned around, expressionless, and said, "You are just a concubine who was sent back to your hometown. It's good enough that your family didn't ask you to shave your head and become a nun in a temple. If you go to Shangjing and show your face again, won't it make people think that our Wan Mansion has no rules?"

Wan Rong's smile froze, and he said, "If father thinks I shouldn't live in the mansion, then I don't mind even if I shave my head and become a nun."

"You!" Father Wan shook his sleeves, his face turned cold, and he lectured Wan Rong as if she was a girl at home. "You were a queen, and now you speak so arrogantly. You dare to talk back to your father?!"

When the Regent King sent the concubines back to their hometowns, he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give them a large sum of money so that they would have money to keep even after returning to their hometowns. He also issued a special decree, asking the families of the concubines to treat them well and allow them to marry freely in the future.

Lord Wan's eyes were red. If people knew that the concubine sent back by the Wan family had shaved her head and become a nun, the Wan family might be held accountable by the Regent.

Madam Wan came over before Lord Wan got angry. Seeing that the atmosphere between the father and daughter was a little strange, she said, "Master, please go to work quickly. If you are late, it will be delayed."

Lord Wan put on his official uniform and said, "Look at your good daughter, now she wants to go to the capital and embarrass herself again..."

"What do you mean by embarrassing?!" Madam Wan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her usually gentle eyes were like poisonous snakes entwined around him, "Master, do you think it was embarrassing for Rong'er to be a concubine in the palace? I know that Rong'er wants to go to Shangjing City. Rong'er is a free person now. If Master keeps her in the mansion like this, I'm afraid it will make the nobles in Shangjing City suspicious."

Lord Wan was gradually shaken by these words, but he still could not accept that his daughter, who had been sent back to her hometown, was wandering around in Shangjing City again, giving others something to gossip about their Wan family.

Madam Wan smiled again, "Rong'er said earlier that her friend is currently negotiating a marriage with the Prince Regent..."

Before he finished speaking, Lord Wan's thin, dark face suddenly turned, and his eyes lit up, "The Regent's marriage?"

He smiled, as if the stern look just now was a different person. "Since it is the wedding of a noble official in Shangjing City, and they have already given you an invitation, if you don't go, wouldn't it be an insult to them? How about this, Madam will assign you a few more maids from the mansion. Shangjing City is far away, so you can take a carriage there and there will be someone to take care of you, right? Madam, please make the arrangements."

Wan Rong and Madam Wan looked at each other and then stepped away. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, father."

Lord Wan went out to work. Inside the door, two women sat down hand in hand. Wan Rong asked, "Why did mother come here for no reason?"

"Don't you know your father's temper? This glorious life has become a dream, so he naturally doesn't like you. Mother will speak for you and will definitely send you to Shangjing City."

Wan Rong lowered her head, seemingly not daring to look Madam Wan in the eye. "Actually, what father said is not wrong. I am a concubine of the former dynasty who was sent back to my hometown, and I really shouldn't get involved in the affairs of those upstarts..." She actually felt a little scared at this moment because of what she had said just now on impulse.

Miss Ji Mengshu of the Ji family did send her an invitation, but she has not responded yet. She just told her father that she was going to the capital to attend their wedding, but it was just an excuse.

Now calm down and think about it, if I really go to Shangjing and see them again, what should I say?

Madam Wan smiled and said, "Rong'er, have you forgotten what your mother said yesterday? While you are still young, don't do anything that will make you regret for the rest of your life."

Later, Wan Rong was really glad that he listened to his mother and came to Shangjing.

After returning to the yard, Xiao Ruo came over with the meal, "Girl, eat it quickly while it's hot."

Wan Rong pursed her lips and smiled. A simple breakfast was placed on a small square table. "Oh, Xiaoruo, hurry up and pack up today. Let's go to the capital."

Xiao Ruo's eyes lit up, "Go... Go to Shangjing?! Can I go too?" She had never been to a place like Shangjing in her life? The stories of talented scholars and beautiful women in the vernacular novels all happened in Shangjing...

"Of course, you are my personal maid now. Who else can I take with me if I don't take you?"

"Oh - then I'll go clean it up now!"

Wan Rong sighed and thought that this little girl was even more anxious than himself.

After breakfast, Xiao Ruo had almost packed up. Now she came over scratching her head and said naively, "Miss, I forgot to ask you, when are we leaving?"

"today."

"Well - then I'll go get another carriage ready."

Square lanterns were hung on the eaves of the carriage. Xiao Ruo was carrying two bags on the left and right. The girl didn't allow her to bring too much, so she put more than half of her originally packed luggage down. In the two bags, there were two sets of clothes, some silver, money and food, and nothing else... Oh, and a long brocade box.

She had seen it before. The box contained an ink stick. If you got close to it, you could even smell the fragrance of peach blossoms. However, the girl didn't seem to plan to use the ink. She always kept it in the box and took it out from time to time to look at it.

Isn't a piece of ink used for writing or painting? Why does the girl always look at it?

Madam Wan came out with her maidservant. Seeing that the man was alone with only a maid and a groom, she said, "It's so far to go to the capital. As a girl, why don't you bring someone to take care of you?"

Wan Rong held her hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. I can take care of myself."

"Xiao Ruo, if the girl can't come back safe and sound, you'd better be careful with your skin."

Xiao Ruofu nodded, "Madam, rest assured, I will take good care of the girl."

After getting on the carriage, Wan Rong lifted the curtain and said, "Mother, you should go back first. I won't be in Shangjing for long and will be home soon."

Madam Wan waved her hand and said, "Rong'er, just do whatever you want. Mother supports you in everything."

The carriage rumbled onto the road.

-

It took seven or eight days to get from Lixian to Shangjing. Earlier, Wan Rong replied to Ji Mengshu's post.

Here, in the inn near the city gate, Ji Mengshu was sitting in a private room on the second floor waiting for someone to come.

In the afternoon, the autumn weather is clear and crisp.

The capital city is still as prosperous as usual.
