Ning Rongzhang's words were very clever. On the surface he was praising Ji Mengshu, but in fact he was describing in a few words his experience of hunting a wild beast alone.

Obviously, King Changyou was just pretending and refused to admit that he was the one who happily gave gifts after only hunting two white rabbits.

Ji Mengshu understood that he was trying to make amends, and she chuckled, and the slight annoyance in her heart disappeared.

Well, the King Changyou in this life is a little weird, but he is an interesting person.

He is much more interesting than the cold and mythical figure in the rumors of the previous life.

Ji Mengshu even found a way for him to back down: "Sir, you are indeed from the Western Frontier, brave and fearless. I wonder when I can see you hunting a tiger alone?"

Hearing this, Ning Rongzhang's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking of, and promised meaningfully:

"Young lady, you will surely see that there are evil tigers in the world, and they will be conquered by me in the end."

The two reconciled and spent the rest of their journey together.

Two horses, one red and one black, were galloping in the mountains. Ning Rongzhang and Ji Mengshu were walking side by side, looking like a couple in the martial arts world.

However, the two people did not notice the ambiguity between them. Ji Mengshu walked to a stream, suddenly felt hungry, and dismounted.

"Sir, can you fish? I have never caught a stream fish before."

"Somewhat familiar."

Ning Rongzhang was often away from home fighting, so fishing was not a difficult task for him.

I saw him pick up a few dry branches, sharpen them with a knife, then roll up his trouser legs and walk into the stream.

The man's eyes were like an eagle's. He raised his knife and threw down a branch, and a fish was stabbed up.

"Good!" Ji Mengshu couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

She could hunt animals and fish, but catching fish with bare hands was a bit difficult for a lady from the Linzhou clan.

Not to mention that in her previous life she had already become a queen and queen mother, so how could she have the chance to catch fish in the wild?

Ji Mengshu was so itchy that he rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the stream.

Not long after, Ning Rongzhang and Ji Mengshu caught about a dozen big fat green carp.

Ning Rongzhang did not bother Ji Mengshu with the grilling of the fish, as he was skilled in making the fire, cutting the fish, skewering it and grilling the fish by himself.

At the end, I sprinkled a handful of five-spice powder that I brought with me, and the roasted green carp tasted quite fragrant.

Ji Mengshu's appetite was aroused, and she became even more angry with Ning Rongzhang.

Not to mention, with Prince Changyou’s skills in surviving in the wilderness, his people will never starve to death when he becomes emperor.

He would never be like the incompetent emperor Ning Huaixuan, who brought the Dali Dynasty to pieces!

Ji Mengshu and Ning Rongzhang sat side by side by the stream and ate lunch together.

The two of them were chatting happily and had no idea that their scene was seen by outsiders.

In the woods, Ji Ningqiu quietly hid behind a tree stump and watched, eyes full of disbelief.

Is Ji Mengshu really in love with the wild man she raised? !

The last time she came to the villa, although she laughed at Ji Mengshu, she didn't think that this woman would really betray Ning Huaixuan.

After all, he was the emperor of Dali!

How could someone prefer not to be the queen and be with an outsider of questionable character?

Unexpectedly, Ji Mengshu is really such an idiot.

Ji Ningqiu almost laughed out loud.

Interesting, really interesting.

She was wondering why her seventh cousin didn't stay at the Princess's Mansion and came to the mountains to rest. It turned out that she had an adulterer!

Thinking of this, Ji Ningqiu could no longer sit still. She was forced by Ji Xiuwen to come to the villa to deliver some supplies. She turned around, got on the carriage and asked someone to go to the palace.

Dali Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

Ning Huaixuan was sitting in the Golden Palace, with Ji Ningqiu kneeling in front of the palace and Liu Huachao beside him.

When the two people in the hall heard what Ji Ningqiu said, their eyes lit up, like weasels who had stolen some meat.

Ning Huaixuan couldn't hold back his anger and spoke first: "Is what Miss Ji San said true?! Did Ji Mengshu really have a dispute with an outsider?"

Ji Ningqiu knelt on the ground, eyes full of waves. She was clearly complaining, but she also pretended to look at Ning Huaixuan with a pitiful look and said, "Your Majesty, I saw it for sure! My seventh sister is currently raising a lover in the countryside outside the capital. I found out the last time I went to the villa to visit my sister, and my second brother also testified for me at that time!"

Hearing this, Ning Huaixuan was overjoyed and said several good words: "Good, good, good! I knew that Ji Mengshu is not a gentle and virtuous woman!"

Liu Huachao was listening on the side. Although she was happy, she was also wary. She narrowed her eyes and threatened Ji Ningqiu: "Ji, you know that Ji Mengshu is the queen appointed by the Grand Empress Dowager. If she really cheated on the emperor before marriage and cuckolded the emperor of our Dali Dynasty, it would be a heinous crime for the entire Ji family to be executed!"

Hearing this, Ji Ningqiu shuddered and complained to Ning Huaixuan: "I am loyal and dedicated to the cause of justice. I said this because I wanted to relieve your majesty's worries. How can I be a sinner?"

Given the relationship between the Ji family and Ning Huaixuan, Ning Huaixuan could only take action against the matter instead of the person. He used Ji Mengshu as a scapegoat and wanted to kill all nine clans of the Ji family. Could Ning Huaixuan even kill the Grand Empress Dowager? !

Ning Huaixuan smiled and waved his hand: "My beloved concubine, please don't make fun of Miss Ji San. I am not a violent and unrestrained person. I will deal with Ji Mengshu's matter privately."

Thinking of this, Ning Huaixuan rolled his eyes and instructed Ji Ningqiu: "Ji, don't let anyone else know what you reported to me today. Go back home and wait for my news, and I will personally investigate thoroughly to see how Ji Mengshu could have cheated on me!"

After saying that, Ji Ningqiu waved his sleeves, obviously wanting to drive Ji Ningqiu away.

But Ji Ningqiu was unwilling to do so.

She came to the palace today not only to expose Ji Mengshu, but also to discuss something more important.

Ji Ningqiu continued to kneel on the ground and begged pitifully: "Your Majesty! If my sister really lost her virtue this time, I want to ask Your Majesty about next year's selection ceremony..."

The Dali Dynasty had an ancestral precept that no selection ceremony would be held for the first three years after a new queen entered the palace. Ji Ningqiu was already seventeen years old this year, and in three years she would be past the age for selection.

Therefore, she really didn't want Ji Mengshu to enter the palace and wished that woman would disappear.

How could Ning Huaixuan not know what women were thinking?

On the one hand, he looked down on the concubine's daughter of the Ji family, and on the other hand, he felt vain because of Ji Ningqiu's infatuation with him.

Ning Huaixuan curled her lips and agreed happily: "Miss Ji San, don't worry, if Ji Mengshu cannot become my queen, the election next year will be held as scheduled."

Hearing this, Ji Ningqiu finally put her mind at ease, and kowtowed to Ning Huaixuan with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

After saying that, she glanced at Liu Huachao triumphantly.

Look! A palace maid is a palace maid! She is just Ning Huaixuan's plaything. When she enters the palace next year, my cousin will definitely like her!

If Ji Mengshu were present, she would definitely laugh at Ji Ningqiu's naive thoughts.

Liu Huachao was the winner who laughed last in his previous life!

Even if she was a palace maid, she was still loved by the tyrant Ning Huaixuan.
