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

The streets were bustling. After walking around for an hour, Ji Yuanzheng was already carrying a lot of bags. When he saw Li Huaixiang off, the two agreed to meet again when they had time.

Seeing Li Huaixiang leaving, Ji Yuanzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way home with Ji Mengshu, the crowd had already sparsely populated.

The breeze blows by, making people's thoughts clear in an instant.

"Brother has not yet entered the palace to meet the emperor since returning from the border county." Ji Mengshu said this out of the blue. Ji Yuanzheng was stunned and realized that his sister was worried about him.

He comforted her, "I will go to the palace with the general tomorrow. Don't worry, His Majesty won't make things difficult for me."

"Brother, do you know that Ning Huaixuan was given two titles of vassal king and demoted to a commoner?" Ji Mengshu was referring to two royal relatives in the Qiannan area who were found to have done something wrong by Ning Huaixuan and had their fiefdoms taken back.

"Of course I know. Your Majesty... is still a young man, but the imperial power is scattered in the hands of the empress dowager and several ministers. I can understand that the emperor is eager to take back power." Ji Yuanzheng picked up the things on his body, "Shu'er never cares about these things. Why today..." Why did she say these things to him and call His Majesty by his name.

But fortunately there are no outsiders around now.

"I'm worried that my father will be in danger, and the Ji family will also be in danger..."

"What do you mean?" Ji Yuanzheng walked in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you are hiding something from me?"

Ji Yuanzheng had been in the border county for a long time. If his family wanted to hide something, it was normal for him not to notice it during the time they were in Beijing. Ji Mengshu said nothing, so Ji Yuanzheng freed one hand to grab her wrist.

"No, brother, you're overthinking. It's all just my worry. I'm worried that Ning Huaixuan will make such a big move. Father is the minister appointed by the late emperor to take care of the young emperor, and he is also the prime minister in the court. His power is too great. If Ning Huaixuan wants to take action, isn't father the best candidate?"

Ji Yuanzheng's scalp tingled as he listened. How could a little girl who was still in the boudoir know all this? Or was it someone who instructed her to do so? Ji Yuanzheng lowered his voice and said, "But...but you are the queen appointed by the queen mother herself. How could His Majesty do that?"

"But he doesn't like me. Besides, even if I really become the queen one day and the entire Ji family submits to Ning Huaixuan, how can you think that they won't abandon me when I'm done with my work?"

The moonlight of Qingming Festival sprinkled down, and Ji Yuan was speechless. The situation in the imperial capital was far more complicated than he had imagined. "Then...what should we do?"

Ji Mengshu shook his head, "But I am worried. I always feel that something will go wrong at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet soon..."

In his previous life, Ning Huaixuan reduced the power of the feudal lords, angering the feudal lords. It was during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that the assassination attempt took place.

"Brother, don't worry too much. Our Ji family is upright and has nothing to fear. It won't be easy for the royal family to deal with us. But brother, you still have to be extremely careful."

Ji Mengshu was walking in front. Ji Yuan was looking at his younger sister's thin figure and suddenly felt that the palace was not a good place. The last time he returned home, his younger sister didn't understand anything about it and was still at home learning from her mother how to be a virtuous and generous queen.

The affairs of the court and the disputes in the world should not be known to someone as simple as my sister.

Ji Yuanzheng walked into the Ji Mansion and gave all the items in his hand to the servant. When he turned around to look for her, she had disappeared.

"Big brother?"

There was a noise behind him, and Ji Yuan turned his head to see that the person coming was none other than Ji Xiuwen. "It's getting late, why is Third Brother here?"

Ji Xiuwen held a jar of wine in his hand and shook it at him, "Of course I came here specifically to see my eldest brother."

In the bamboo courtyard.

Two wine vessels were filled with fine wine, and Ji Xiuwen raised his glass and said, "Brother, you have been at the border for a long time and have served the country. Xiuwen really admires you."

"What are you talking about, third brother? The men of our Ji family serve the court and strive for fame. There is nothing to admire about that. When you pass the imperial examination, you will also bring glory to the Ji family." Ji Yuanzheng raised his glass and drank it all.

"Big brother is right. I'll give you a toast." Ji Xiuwen was a scholar and couldn't hold his liquor well, so he talked a lot. "No matter which girl in our Ji family becomes the queen, it will be of great benefit to you, me, and the Ji family."

After saying this, Ji Xiuwen hadn't noticed anything wrong yet, and Ji Yuan was putting his wine glass on the table, "Third brother, what do you mean by this? What do you mean it doesn't matter which girl in the Ji family? Isn't it always my younger sister who has an engagement with His Majesty?"

Ji Xiuwen seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and said anxiously, "No... Big brother, that's not what I meant... Well, I won't hide it from you, big brother. Some time ago, the Queen Mother summoned my younger sister to the palace, so Shu'er took my second sister to the palace together. But later I heard that His Majesty seemed to pay more attention to my second sister. I heard that... My second sister even received a reward from His Majesty..."

"What?!" Ji Yuanzheng sneered, "Your Majesty...did you really do that?"

Ji Xiuwen hesitated and said, "Brother, don't be angry. I just heard it... it's just hearsay."

What do you mean by hearsay? Things in the royal family are not groundless. Besides, my younger sister said today that His Majesty doesn't like her, which must be because of the matter of entering the palace.

-

The next day in the main hall.

After everyone finished their meal, Jiang's mother left Ji Mengshu alone. She placed the teacup heavily on the table and looked very unhappy.

"Mengshu, what have you been doing these days when you went out?"

Qingzhu lowered her head and followed behind Ji Mengshu, who bowed and asked tentatively, "My daughter...my daughter went out just to go shopping and buy some ordinary things. Mother, why are you asking this?"

"I heard yesterday that you were close to a man. Is that true?" Jiang's mother was tending to the flowers and plants outside the window. Ji Yuan was standing in front of her, seeming to be feeling aggrieved.

"Mother, how could you really believe the nonsense told by outsiders? Besides, Shu'er is your biological daughter. Don't you know her temper?" Ji Yuanzheng was wearing a bamboo green gown and a white jade belt. He looked like a gentleman with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Mother Jiang put down the kettle and said, "Don't interrupt me. It is precisely because I am her mother that I will never allow her to do anything that would bring disgrace upon our family."

"Mother!" Ji Yuan was trying to stop her. Why did she say such harsh words? She was not afraid of hurting Meng Shu's heart.

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter knows her limits and will never bring shame to our family."

“Hey—Ashu—” Seeing Ji Mengshu turn around and walk away, Ji Yuanzheng lifted his robe and hurriedly chased after her, “Mother only said those words in anger, but she still cares about you.”

Ji Yuan twisted his handsome face and whispered, "But no matter what Ah Shu wants to do, brother will fully support you. Even if you don't want to be the queen, brother will find a way to help you, okay?"

As a brother, I naturally have to support my sister unconditionally.
