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

On the way, a message came from the general's mansion. Li Huaixiang read it and smiled knowingly. He said goodbye in a hurry and left, saying that he had something urgent to tell him.

Qingzhu was serving tea at one side when suddenly the door opened and a man came over. Through the screen, he saw the wafting aroma of tea.

"Who is there?" Qingzhu asked coldly.

"A merchant from Western Xinjiang." Ning Rongzhang raised his foot to close the two wooden doors. Qingzhu happened to see that it was the merchant. Before he could say anything, the woman on the other side of the screen said, "Qingzhu, you go down first."

There were only two people left in the private room. Ji Mengshu raised an eyebrow, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you sit down?"

Ning Rongzhang walked around the screen, as if seeing a goddess in the mist, "You clearly know my identity..."

"Hush..." Ji Mengshu sat down and made tea. "Walls have ears. Sir, you'd better speak calmly."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he has ears or not. This is his territory. If there is someone eavesdropping like this, he will definitely not leave the teahouse alive.

"Are your wounds feeling better?" Ji Mengshu was still worried about the injury. After all, the injury was caused while saving her. During the banquet, Ning Huaixuan pushed her from behind in the chaos, wanting her to block the knife. If Ning Rongzhang had not appeared in time, she would have been buried in the palace long ago.

His right arm was hanging down, and after being bandaged, he couldn't lift anything heavy. Ning Rongzhang nodded, "It's better now."

"Thank you so much for that day." Ji Mengshu's eyes were sincere, she was really grateful for him saving her life, "I'll use tea instead of wine, toast you a glass."

Ning Rongzhang drank it all and asked, "Why are you still so calm after knowing my identity? Could it be that you have known my identity for a long time?" He wanted to ask this when he saw her that night, but there were so many people around and it was so chaotic that he couldn't ask her in detail.

"Not really. I was also very surprised when I saw you at the palace banquet that night. You were obviously a merchant from Western Xinjiang, so how did you end up being the Prince of Changyou?" Ji Mengshu smiled, "But judging from your appearance, you seem to be blessed with great fortune. You really don't look like a merchant. It's reasonable to say that you are a prince."

If it weren't for the memories of her past life, she really wouldn't know his identity.

"I see..."

Ah San returned to the teahouse but could not find his own prince. He thought he had been taken away by people from the palace. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the private room next door.

"Who is next door?" Ah San turned the corner, pushed the door open, and amid the smoke of cigarettes, he saw a man and a woman sitting opposite each other through the screen.

"Prince—Prince—" Asan was sweating profusely. He seemed to have disturbed the date between his own prince and the beauty. Would the prince punish him later?

"Why don't you get in?" Ning Rongzhang curled his lips helplessly, looking at the reckless person beside him, thinking that he must give him a lesson when he has time. If it were in the past, it would be fine, he himself did not have so many rules, but the key is that the young lady of the Ji family is here now, if she misunderstands that he is also a person without rules, Ning Rongzhang thought, then he must kill him first.

"Master——"

Ning Rongzhang took a deep breath and said, "Why call me Young Master? Miss Ji already knows my identity. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Oh, my Lord, I have found out what you asked me to find out. The man is——"

"Stop!" Ning Rongzhang shouted suddenly, and his sudden surprise scared Ji Mengshu.

Why are both the master and servant so nervous? Ji Mengshu looked at the interaction between them and felt a little confused. "If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then I should step aside for a while?"

"No, no, that's easy to say." Ning Rongzhang smiled sincerely, turned his head and glanced at Ah San, and uttered three words, "Go on."

Although Ah San had been following Ning Rongzhang for a long time, his emotional intelligence finally came to his senses somewhat slowly, and he immediately bowed and said, "It is like this, His Majesty just issued an order to invite all the princes to appreciate the flowers in the palace tomorrow."

Ning Rongzhang frowned, "Is there a Ji family?"

"Have."

What did Ning Huaixuan want to do at the flower viewing banquet? His thoughts were all over the place, but he was pulled back unexpectedly. Ning Rongzhang said confidently, "Miss Ji, don't worry. It's just a flower viewing banquet."

"Are you so confident?"

Ning Rongzhang laughed again, "I have little power and my fiefdom is in the Western Frontier. Even if Your Majesty wants to make fun of others, it won't fall on me."

-

After Ji Mengshu returned to the mansion, as expected, she heard the news that the imperial edict had arrived at the Ji Mansion. Jiang's mother was a little worried, and she pulled Ji Yuanzheng and said, "Yuanzheng, no matter what happens tomorrow, you must protect your sister."

"Don't worry, mother." Ji Yuanzheng was wearing a black and red tights with his sleeves tied up and his long hair tied behind his head. He looked heroic.

"Father and mother, the imperial edict does not mention which members of the Ji family it is. Since it is a flower-viewing banquet, the more people there are, the more lively it will be. Why not bring a few brothers and sisters along?"

Ji Kang knew the purpose of Ning Huaixuan's flower-viewing banquet, and he said, "The assassination will not happen again, Madam, you can rest assured. This time, His Majesty is also trying to appease the princes..."

Mother Jiang sighed softly, "That's great."

When the news reached Zelanxuan, Ji Ningqiu stared at himself in the bronze mirror in a daze. So, hasn't the opportunity come?

The flower-viewing banquet was hastily prepared in just a few days and was not large in scale. The open-air pavilions were filled with girls. It seemed that Ning Huaixuan had also invited many noble ladies from aristocratic families this time.

After all, it was a flower viewing banquet, so it was not good for others to see any clues. There was no queen in the harem, and several concubines of high rank sat at the top, looking at the girls inside and outside the palace with a sigh in their hearts.

Ji Mengshu took a quick glance and found Wan Rong was not there. She thought that it was because her status as a noble lady was not high enough. There were only a few concubines present to appreciate the flowers. Liu Huachao was sitting at the head of the seat and easily spotted Ji Mengshu among the many noble ladies.

The two of them were looking at each other from a distance of more than ten steps apart, and when their eyes met, there seemed to be anger caused by the friction of metal and stone.

From afar, the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming beautifully. Ji Mengshu turned his eyes away, suppressing the hatred that wanted to kill her with his own hands, and clenched his hands into fists under his wide sleeves.

Ning Rongzhang sat down not far away. After a quick glance, he saw the emperor coming over on a sedan chair. The eunuch shouted in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty has arrived——"

Everyone stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty—"

"Everyone, get up. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. The Queen Mother and I invite all the princes to come to the palace to enjoy the scenery. No one needs to be restrained."

After everyone was seated, Ji Ningqiu stared at the person on the throne infatuatedly. His Majesty still had her in his heart. He knew that there would be an assassination at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so he only invited Ji Mengshu to go. Unexpectedly, Ji Mengshu was lucky enough not to die there.

What a pity. But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as I can see His Majesty.
