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

"Girl, it's windy outside, you should go back quickly..."

"When the wind is stronger, you can see some people and things more clearly, right?" He Hui was in a daze and was blown by the wind again.

"I don't know what the young lady is going to say..."

-

But it was just an ordinary day.

In a small alley in the west of the city, a scholar slowly walked into a remote area. He was carrying something for writing on his shoulders, and he lowered his head to look at the road. His wide robe hung down, making him look a little thin.

Shen Yixing was calculating the income from copying books for others today, and he felt a little discouraged. He didn't know when he could get together such a large sum of money.

After pushing open the wooden door, Shen Yihang was pressed to the ground without any defense. He trembled all over. "Who are you?! Ah? Uh——"

The men in black skillfully tied up the man with thick hemp ropes and stuffed a white cloth in his mouth.

There was only a veiled woman standing in the rough house. "Just a scholar with nothing? It's weird..."

Several men in black brought the man in front of her and kicked him hard in the knee, causing him to kneel down.

"You are Shen Yixing, right... Don't look at me like that..." Wu Ya glanced at the dusty wooden chair with disdain. The maid beside her wiped it clean from top to bottom with great tact before asking Wu Ya to sit down.

The man in black twisted Shen Yixing and threatened him viciously.

The young lady from the wealthy family had never been to such a simple house in her life. She smiled and said, "The Queen Mother wants to promote the He family and make He Hui the queen... You don't know that, do you?"

The rough cloth in his mouth was pulled off, and the soreness hurt his mouth. "What He family? I don't know them!"

"Hahahaha——" Wu Ya laughed again, "Shen Yixing, you are really infatuated. Do you know that the eldest daughter of the He family looks down on you and is going to enter the palace to become the queen? It's rare that you still speak for her wholeheartedly..."

Shen Yixing still shook his head, "No... No... No..."

"Why would I lie to you? My family has been high-ranking officials for generations. Today, Miss I am kind-hearted and can allow you to take He Hui and run away..." Shen Yihang suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You have been hesitating in Kyoto for so many years, frustrated. According to your ability, I can ask my father to promote you to be a local official. From now on, you will be surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, with a beautiful woman in your arms. Isn't it wonderful?"

The man was so shocked by these words that he couldn't recover for a long time, as if a huge pie had hit him. He stared at the veiled woman and said, "Why should I believe you..."

Wu Ya winked at the people around her, and the maid opened a small wooden box from the table. As soon as it was opened, the gold inside almost blinded Shen Yixing's eyes.

He had never seen so much money before, all gold, all money! He could not spend all the money even if he lived for three lifetimes.

"He Hui doesn't want to become the queen. Neither do you. In this case, why don't we work together?" Wu Ya persuaded Shen Yixing with kindness and patience. Looking at Shen Yixing's blank eyes, she knew that money alone could move him. She didn't know where He Hui found this unreliable man.

Shen Yixing swallowed his saliva silently....

-

Ever since Cheng Liu arranged for Wei Zheng to meet his match, he has become more and more depressed.

"Madam, why should you work so hard? In the end, it was the master who decided it..."

Cheng Liu smiled gracefully, her fair and pink complexion showed almost no signs of aging. Her face was well maintained and she looked even younger.

"What do you know... There are so many tricks involved in the selection. Our Chengyang Marquis' family background is beyond the reach of ordinary small families. Since we have to choose from the big families in Kyoto... naturally I have to choose an unsatisfactory woman to be my daughter-in-law..." Cheng Liu touched the golden hairpin and smiled, "This one looks good, you come and help me put it on..."

"Does the lady have a favorite woman in her heart?"

"Tomorrow's banquet..." Cheng Liu showed a harmless smile, "You'll know once you meet him..."

Cheng Liu invited people from Chengyang Marquis' Mansion who had similar family backgrounds, so he wouldn't give others anything to talk about.

If she deliberately chooses someone from a small family, others will think that she, as a stepmother, is not good to the son of Marquis Chengyang... Even if she puts in all the effort on the surface, she will make sure that Wei Zheng's backyard is in turmoil all day long.

Autumn banquet in autumn.

It was harmless if the rules were followed. All the wealthy families who received the invitation were generally happy to show their support.

"Oh my....The wife of Marquis Chengyang looks younger and younger..."

Cheng Liu smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Madam Wang? If we talk about youth, you are still the best. It is because Lord Wang cares about Madam that you are so radiant. I am really jealous..."

"What are you two whispering about here?" Another noble lady came towards them. She was the wife of Marquis Guiyang. She was dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, looking like a mistress of the house.

"Oh, Madam Guiyang Marquis, I'm so sorry. Come, please take a seat..." Cheng Liu pointed at the maid to lead the way. He exchanged greetings with the lady next to him for a while before asking everyone to take a seat.

"It's a nice and cool autumn day today, and I'm really lucky to invite all of you sisters to gather together. Come... This is the fruit wine from Fuju Tower in the city, let's have a drink first."

Even though Cheng Liu was only a second wife and came from a small family that was not presentable, the aura of a mistress in her was indeed enviable.

It was also Cheng Liu's usual tricks that won over the heart of Marquis Chengyang. Over the years, everyone praised Madam Cheng for her virtue and kindness, and she was quite patient in dealing with the naughty prince.

Instead, it was the wife of Marquis Guiyang who felt uncomfortable. Everyone in Kyoto knew that although she was the legitimate wife of Marquis Guiyang, the Marquis was lustful by nature, and the concubines in the family were not easy to deal with. They made the family restless all day long, not to mention those mistresses who came to the gate of the mansion to cause trouble every now and then!

The refreshing fruit wine is sweet and fragrant when you drink it, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

As a newly rising noble family, the He family was naturally among the invited guests. Unfortunately, Mrs. He was a timid person. Even though He Wei was now very famous in Kyoto, she wanted to sit in an inconspicuous seat as she had done in the past. However, she was seen by a maid and led to the front.

Fortunately, He Hui is still alive, otherwise Mrs. He would really be at a loss.

Directly opposite is the aristocratic Wu family.

Wu Ya took a sip of her sweet smile and looked at He Hui opposite her with a faint smile.

That smile also contains deep meaning...

"The He family's sister is here too? It's been a few days since we last met on the street. I counted with my fingers and realized it's been a while since we last met..."

He Hui nodded with a smile, perhaps because she had never been among these wealthy families before.
