Ning Huaixuan turned his head and asked, "How can you make Ji Mengshu give up the position of queen?"

"Your Majesty, believe me..." Ji Ningqiu put her fingers on the man's chest, as if testing him, "I think that among all the women in this world, I am the only one who is most suitable for Your Majesty..."

Hearing Ji Ningqiu's firm words, Ning Huaixuan didn't really brush her hand away. Instead, he promised, "If you really have a way to make Ji Mengshu give up the position of queen, then this position of queen..."

It goes without saying that, except for the daughter of the Ji family, no one in the entire capital can be the queen. Once Ji Mengshu is eliminated, Ji Ranran, that idiot, will not be a problem to worry about, and then the throne of the queen will naturally fall into her hands.

I am already 100% sure.

Ji Ningqiu boldly leaned on the man's chest and smelled the ambergris on him. Ning Huaixuan was not afraid of him. What's more, she had full confidence in bringing down Ji Mengshu. In this case, she naturally had to coax him more.

On the front side stage.

The last game of chess had been played, and the title of first place was undisputed. Liu Huachao lazily decided on the name of the first place, turned sideways to glance at His Majesty's seat, and he had not returned yet.

With a glance, the maids around him nodded repeatedly and retreated without saying a word. Calligraphy and painting are talents that most girls are good at, and they also want to gain a reputation in front of His Majesty and the princess. At one time, there were quite a few people who participated.

Ji Ranran also signed up with great interest. She was not very proficient in the first few, but calligraphy and painting were decent. After all, she was known as a talented woman in the capital, and she couldn't let them laugh at her.

After a while, the palace maid came over from the palace road with her head down. Ji Mengshu looked at her carefully. The palace maid looked a little bad. Maybe she saw something. He leaned close to Liu Huachao and whispered something in her ear.

Even Liu Hua was slightly angry at such a woman. He glanced in their direction and whispered, "You underestimated the daughter of the Ji family. She is actually a powerful person..."

"What are your plans, madam?"

Liu Huachao couldn't hold back his temper, "What plans do we have? Of course, I'll take everyone to see what kind of people the daughters raised by the Ji family are!" As he said that, Liu Huachao put down his wine cup and was about to stand up.

"Your Majesty, don't do that!" the maid said worriedly, "If Your Majesty leads everyone there, wouldn't that prove the affair between the Ji family girl and Your Majesty? Then Your Majesty will surely be forced to welcome the Ji family girl into the palace..."

What he said was not unreasonable. Liu Huachao frowned and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Why not let one or two of them go now and wait until there is no one around, and then let Her Majesty punish them?" The little palace servant wholeheartedly gave advice to his master.

Liu Huachao suppressed his anger and said, "That's fine, Ji Ningqiu, if you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for being cruel."

After everyone on the stage finished painting, they left their signatures and left one by one. The palace servants patrolled the venue with the paintings. Ning Huaixuan came back leisurely at this time, and Ji Ningqiu also came back not far away.

This made everyone speculate about the relationship between them.

Mother Jiang frowned and glanced at Ji Ningqiu, "Where did you go?"

"Aunt, Ningqiu just went to the toilet..." Ji Ningqiu lowered his eyebrows, and no one could find any fault with him.

"We've been gone for a long time. This is not the Ji Mansion. We need to be more careful and disciplined. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ningqiu has made a note of it."

When Ning Huaixuan came back, Liu Huachao was still calm and teased which girl was good at painting. Ning Huaixuan also nodded with a smile, and the few of them discussed and selected the first place.

Ji Ranran ranked third and missed the reward.

The rewards were: those who were good at playing the zither would receive a zither, those who were good at chess would receive a chessboard, and those who were good at painting would receive a painting.

It can be considered as catering to his preferences.

After the competition, it was getting late, so His Majesty and the eldest princess left the table one after another. Liu Huachao didn't want to be in the presence of these beautiful girls, so he left alone, leaving only a group of officials' children drinking and feasting.

"Empress Liang..."

Seeing that all the insignificant people had left, Shen Liang and Ji Mengshu got together and talked for a while, "Why call me Madam? I'm not very old, you can just call me sister... Today I got a famous zither, do you like it?"

Although he didn't have any special thoughts about Qin, since Shen Liang asked, he answered, "Of course I'm happy. I only saw Sister Shen and a few ladies here, but I didn't see Sister Wan."

It's a pity.

"Your position is not high enough, but if you want to see her, why don't I take you there?"

"Forget it. Sister Wan probably doesn't like this kind of hustle and bustle. Sister Shen, if you have a chance, please say hello to Sister Wan on my behalf." Ji Mengshu said a few words lightly. As there were so many people around, they had to leave.

After Jiang's mother finished talking to the noble ladies, she happened to see Ji Mengshu and Shen Liang separate. "Shu'er, when did you become so familiar with the concubines in the harem?"

"I met her when I entered the palace some time ago. Sister Shen and Sister Wan treated me very well..."

"You are so unruly. In the palace, you have to call her empress." After giving a few instructions, Jiang's mother led the group out of the palace.

Ning Rongzhang watched them leave with a look of reluctance in his eyes. There were so many people around that it was a pity that he couldn't say a few words.

Ah Sanshi said, "My Lord, are you leaving?"

Ning Rongzhang shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer."

The sound of the guqin was quiet and melodious. As a fellow guqin contestant, Ji Ningqiu felt a little sad in her heart. However, when she thought of the promise she had made with Ning Huaixuan in the attic, the sour feeling was soon washed away by sweetness.

The carriage swayed slowly towards the Ji Mansion. Ji Ningqiu was so excited that she didn't notice that the carriage had changed direction.

Ning Rongzhang, who came out from behind, galloped his horse and soon caught up with the carriage of the Ji Mansion. He followed slowly from behind and saw a carriage going in the wrong direction, so he asked, "Ah San, who is in that carriage?"

Ah San checked and saw that the person driving the horse in front was not Ning Er, so he said, "It's definitely not Miss Fifth..."

Ning Rongzhang gave him a look and said, "Follow and see."

After parting ways with Ah San, Ning Rongzhang quietly went to the back door of the Ji Mansion. Ji Mengshu was also tired after a day's work, so after saying goodbye, he returned to Fulanxuan.

Mother Jiang noticed that one carriage was missing and asked, "Where is Ningqiu's carriage?"

The servant was also confused, "Maybe she went shopping. Do you want me to go look for the Second Miss?"

Mother Jiang waved her hand, "No need."

In Fulanxuan, as soon as Ji Mengshu stepped into the yard, he felt a gaze following him. Qingzhu carefully carried the famous zither into the house and did not notice anything unusual.

On a big tree with thick branches, a man was sitting leisurely, with a silver mask covering his face.

"You have come to my house, are you the flower thief?" Ji Mengshu sat in the stone pavilion in the yard and talked to himself leisurely.

The tree trunk rustled a little, and a man fell down.
