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

It is said that since the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the usually peaceful imperial palace had become turbulent like a stone dropped into a lake, and the princes from all over the country stayed in the capital, not daring to move.

After court every day, Ji Kang's expression was extremely solemn.

Ji Yuan had few holidays during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so after returning, he trained his troops in the military camp on the outskirts of the city, waiting for the imperial edict.

"Brother?"

"Ah Shu, what's wrong?" Ji Yuan was confused as he was pulled to a secluded place by Ji Mengshu. He asked quietly, "Mid-Autumn Festival has passed. When will my brother leave?"

It turned out to be because of this.

"There is still some time until the end of the year. If nothing unexpected happens, my brother should still go to the border county, but...but after the New Year, Ah Shu's coming-of-age ceremony will be here..."

The coming-of-age ceremony has arrived, which means that she will accept the Queen Mother's order and enter the palace to become the Queen.

Seeing that Ji Yuan was in a bad mood, Ji Mengshu quickly comforted him, "My brother also said that there is still a long time to go. The most important thing right now is not my marriage, but the vassal king in the capital."

"Since the assassination at Gong Yan, the princes have behaved themselves a lot. The fief of Prince Changping was taken back directly. If Your Majesty is willing to adopt the eldest princess's suggestion and increase the taxes on the fiefdom by another 30%, perhaps the crisis can be resolved..."

Ji Mengshu still shook his head. "No matter how much we say, it won't count. Brother, don't think about it. I have an appointment with the young lady of General Li's family today. Brother, do you want to go with me?"

Ji Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, looking quite gentlemanly, "What are you talking about? You two girls are just going for a walk, why should a grown man like me follow you? But I still have to go to the military camp on the outskirts of the city today, so I can stop by."

The carriage was moving slowly on the crowded street. Ning Er was driving the horse in front. He glanced at the eldest young master in front and felt a little scared.

Ever since the eldest son came back, every time he saw him, there was an obvious scrutiny in his eyes. He explained his identity more than once, saying that he saved the fifth young lady and was therefore employed as a guard in the Ji Mansion.

Walking through the busy streets, the man in the teahouse stood tall and straight, with a pair of clear eyes looking out. Unlike usual, Ning Rongzhang was not wearing a tight-fitting jacket as usual, but a wide-sleeved crescent-shaped white brocade, looking like a gentleman like jade.

Ah San was standing by his master's side, and saw with his sharp eyes, "My Lord, isn't that Miss Ji? Would you like to invite Miss Ji in to sit down? But the man in front of the carriage looks very familiar, as if he was... the man who walked with Miss Ji on the street before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Mengshu took Ji Yuanzheng to the street to visit the flower market and met Li Huaixiang on the way. At that time, Ning Rongzhang and Asan were just above the restaurant on the cross street. It was dark, but Asan had good eyesight and recognized the man following Ji Mengshu at a glance.

Ning Rongzhang glanced at him, "You have a good eye..." Last time, she saw the man and her together, why are they together again today? Ning Rongzhang was quite annoyed, "Asan, check who the man in front is?"

"Oh yes."

The two parted at the general's mansion. Qingzhu got off the carriage and said a few words to the doorman, then they entered the general's mansion.

Li Huaixiang was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Unlike the bedrooms of other girls, Li Huaixiang's courtyard was unique in the capital. The side hall next to the bedroom housed many weapons, including swords, spears, copper rods, and iron hammers... Ji Mengshu was lucky enough to see one or two of them, which were really heroic.

There were several targets in the courtyard for archery practice. Even the maids around him were mostly skilled in martial arts.

"Mengshu? You're here, why didn't you call me?" Li Huaixiang took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Look at how focused you are on your practice. How can I bother you?"

Pulling him back to the dormitory, Ji Mengshu quickly poured two cups of tea, "You look so hot, drink some tea."

Li Huaixiang drank three cups of tea in a row before wiping his mouth with his sleeve. "Mengshu, I heard about what happened at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet a few days ago. I wanted to invite you over early in the morning, but it was during the critical moment of the assassination of the vassal king, so I listened to my father and waited two days before I dared to come to you."

"Your Majesty has already issued an edict that Prince Changping attempted a rebellion, and that's why he was executed." His eyes were complicated, as if he could replay the farce of that night.

"It was just a disaster caused by the reduction of the feudal system. However, the people of Prince Changping were able to sneak into the palace. It shows that they have great means." Li Huaixiang pulled the people to look left and right, and said worriedly, "I heard that blood flowed like a river that day. Mengshu, you were not hurt, right?"

Someone wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Ji Mengshu shook his head, "I didn't get hurt." However, I don't know how Ning Rongzhang's injury is. "The queen mother fainted."

Li Huaixiang muttered, "It's better if she faints, it would be better if she never wakes up..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Mengshu smiled and pushed her gently. This girl is so bold and dares to say anything.

Changing the subject, Ji Mengshu asked, "I see that the Li Mansion is quite quiet today. Have the two brothers not returned yet?"

Li Huaixiang got angry when talking about this, and put the tea bowl heavily on the table, "The two of them are still in the military camp outside the city. My father and mother both agreed that I should learn martial arts, but my two brothers were against it. No matter what I said, they refused to take me to the military camp in the west of the city..."

Li Huaixiang pursed her lips, looked at Ji Mengshu and said, "My elder brother also said that there is no one like Sister Mengshu in the capital, and she is a role model for women in the capital. He asked me to learn from you and cultivate a gentle and graceful personality. I am afraid that I will not be able to get married when I reach the age of marriage."

Ji Mengshu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Brother Li has a long-term vision...hahaha——"

"Meng Shu, why are you teasing me too!"

After a lot of quarrels, the two decided to go to the newly opened teahouse in the city. Li Huaixiang didn't like tea as much as the girls in Beijing, but Ji Mengshu invited her again and again, and she heard that the snacks and fruits there were good, so she went along.

In the private room upstairs, Ning Rongzhang stared in a daze as he watched someone enter the teahouse. His heart was filled with joy, but suddenly the wound on his right arm was pulled and he gasped in pain.

It seems that this store is worth opening.

"My brother also went to the military camp today, I'm sure you brothers will meet him..."

"Really? That's good..."

The voice of the storyteller in the building drowned out the whispers of the crowd. The topic of the story was about a certain king who was incompetent and tyrannical, and who imposed taxes year after year, causing the people to suffer bitterly. Then a certain prince raised the flag of rebellion, and everyone in and outside the court responded to his call, and successfully replaced the dynasty.

"it is good!!"

Everyone cheered and the teahouse was quite lively inside and outside. In addition, the storyteller's words made everyone think of the recent incident of cutting Pan.
