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

Not long after the uprising in the north, we heard that Prince Wu personally led troops to deal with those bandits. The Queen Mother made the decision to transfer nearby troops to the north, so that they would not suffer at the hands of the barbarians.

However, Prince Wu's move was quite popular among the people. Not only did he have a high prestige in his fiefdom, but even in the capital, rumors about Prince Wu could be heard.

The Queen Mother in the palace looked at the memorial on suppressing the rebels and with a gloomy face, she gave some things as a reward to Prince Wu.

Ning Huaixuan had not dealt with the issue of refugees in the capital properly, and now this kind of thing had happened again. Dissatisfaction with the emperor inside and outside the court became louder and louder.

Many old ministers wrote to the emperor, hoping that he would take the daughter of the Ji family into the palace. Not only was it because the Ji family had real power, but also because the rebels had revolted under the name of the daughter of the Ji family saving people from natural disasters. No matter what, the people seemed to have determined that the daughter of the Ji family was the way to save the people.

The Queen Mother suppressed all the memorials. Didn't she want to? But Ji Mengshu hadn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet. It was not appropriate to bring her into the palace at this time.

The Queen Mother could not bear the pressure and begged Ning Huaixuan to stop focusing on one woman. There were thousands of women in the world, so why did he have to be Liu Huachao? A woman of low birth, not only took the title of imperial concubine, but also made the emperor ignore state affairs. Isn't this a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country?

Zhongcui Palace

The empress dowager dragged her sick body over and saw Ning Huaixuan in Zhongcui Palace. Her face immediately turned unhappy again.

The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine have always kept their distance from each other, with Ning Huaixuan being the only one who intervenes. Now that the Empress Dowager has suddenly come here, perhaps there is something important going on.

"Grandmother..."

"You still know that I am your royal grandmother?"

The Queen Mother did not avoid Liu Huachao when she said this, "Xuan'er, if you really have me as your grandmother in your eyes, you should marry Shu'er as soon as possible. The position of Queen has been vacant for many years, and the officials and people of the world have long been resentful. You should listen to the words of the Royal Grandmother and go to the Ji Mansion to propose before the New Year."

Liu Huachao's clear eyes reflected grievance, but under the pressure from the empress dowager, she dared not say no.

I knew this would be the outcome... Ning Huaixuan stood with his hands behind his back, "I will listen to the Imperial Grandmother."

When the first snow of winter fell, the yard was filled with royal betrothal gifts, and the big red boxes were covered with snow.

Ji Mengshu came out of the yard holding a hot water bottle. She glanced at the boxes of betrothal gifts and saw the servants carrying the boxes to the side room. She felt a little desolate for no reason.

Deep winter has arrived, and it is unclear whether the people of the Dali Dynasty can survive this winter. However, the royal family is marrying a queen on a grand occasion in order to consolidate their power.

When the servants in the courtyard saw Ji Mengshu coming over, they thought she was here to look at the betrothal gifts, so they came over with a list of gifts and said with a beaming smile, "Miss, do you want to see these things?"

Ji Mengshu coldly glanced at the gift list and said, "Please keep it properly."

The boxes were covered with a layer of snow, as if their fate would never befall her.

Qingzhu held up an umbrella and said, "Miss, I heard that the Second Madam has arranged a marriage for you..."

On the surface, Ji Ningqiu did follow the Second Madam's wishes and picked a good family in the capital to marry into, but Ji Mengshu knew that she had high aspirations and would never give up so easily.

Ji Mengshu had a smile in her eyes. No matter what, every step her second sister took was within her expectations. As long as a little unintentional "accident" happened, they would all get what they wanted.

Not to mention that Ning Er's presence in the Ji Mansion was not high, but he transmitted Ji Mengshu's movements to Western Xinjiang thousands of miles away in real time. Ning Rongzhang handled the political affairs of Western Xinjiang. When he returned to Beijing this year, Western Xinjiang had escaped the emperor's eagle eyes.

Military Advisor Mu looked at his own prince who had returned alone and sighed and muttered countless times.

Ning Rongzhang didn't listen until he got impatient, then he said, "Military Advisor Mu, if you have anything to say, why don't you just say it?"

Mu Mu said with a mature face, "Your Highness, you have been so worried all day in Western Xinjiang. Have you encountered any trouble?"

Ning Rongzhang tucked the letter from Ning Er inside and said calmly, "No..."

Still pretending?

"Your Highness, Ah San and the others have told me that the future queen designated by the current queen mother, Ji Kang's only daughter, is the one your Highness loves?"

The hidden letter was about this incident. Ning Er sent a letter without any emotion, saying that Ning Huaixuan had already proposed to the Ji Mansion, and after the New Year, he would choose a good day to marry a new queen...

In the end, Ning Er still greeted him considerately and told him not to be too sad...

"Military Advisor Mu, you are a military advisor on the battlefield. I'm afraid you don't understand matters of love between men and women..." Ning Rongzhang replied. After all, he was right. Mu Mu is already old, but doesn't he still have no one who understands him?

Mu Mu snorted coldly, "Your Highness, you are looking down on me. Although I am old, it is normal for young ladies to look down on me." Mu Mu paused, "But I can tell you that when I was young, I was the most sought-after handsome man in the county."

Ning Rongzhang raised his eyes and looked at Military Advisor Mu's half-white hair and somewhat slovenly face. He really didn't associate him with the word "handsome man".

Clearly seeing the strong suspicion in his eyes, Military Advisor Mu straightened his back and said, "Your Highness, you don't believe me? Then go to my hometown and ask around to see if I lied."

Ning Rongzhang gave in, "Okay, okay, Military Advisor Mu, whatever you say is what I'll do." It was obvious that he still didn't quite believe it.

Military Advisor Mu didn't care and gave his own advice, "The one you love is going to marry someone else. Is Your Majesty just going to watch it happen?"

His palms tightened involuntarily, and he retorted, "She won't... She doesn't like the emperor and will definitely not marry him."

Military Advisor Mu shook his head. "It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Even if the young lady of the Ji family really does not want to marry into the palace, her father is the prime minister. Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. The young lady of the Ji family has no choice..."

"However," Military Advisor Mu changed the subject and took advantage of the dim candlelight to lean closer and said, "Wouldn't it be better if Your Majesty took action to snatch the person away..."

Ning Rongzhang's eyebrows twitched and he felt shy. He was sure that Ji Mengshu didn't like Ning Huaixuan, but he couldn't be sure whether she liked him. If he snatched her away without any preparation, what if she held a grudge against him?

Ning Rongzhang shook his head. He couldn't do that.

Military Advisor Mu bowed and said, "The grand ceremony will be held after the New Year, Your Majesty can think about it carefully." If you make a mistake, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
