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

This made it seem like Ji Mengshu didn't know what was good for her. The plot of the official lady and the down-and-out scholar that was often mentioned in the storybooks?

Ji Mengshu sneered and shook his head, "Father, have you ever thought about this? Now that His Majesty is in his prime, he wants to take back the scattered power. The Ji family is the minister appointed by the late emperor. They are the prime ministers in the hearts of the people of the Dali Dynasty, but they are also a thorn in His Majesty's heart, aren't they?"

She spoke these words slowly, and as the hostility between Ji Kang's brows grew deeper and deeper, Ji Mengshu raised her eyes calmly under his sharp gaze.

leisurely.

The court has always been complicated, with intertwined forces. Ji Kang never expected that his daughter, who had been in seclusion for a long time, could see the situation in the court so clearly.

"Meng Shu..."

"Father," Ji Mengshu said. She couldn't show too much about her reincarnation, so she didn't want Ji Kang to be too suspicious, so she interrupted him. "I don't know about the court, but there is no emperor in this world who doesn't love power. I guess that if the daughter of the Ji family becomes the queen, the relationship between the former and the harem is complicated. If we are not careful, the whole Ji family will face a catastrophe..."

His words were sincere and heartfelt, without any personal emotion at all, and he always considered things from the perspective of the entire Ji family.

Ji Mengshu looked into Ji Kang's eyes. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Ji Kang had already trained himself to be calm in the face of adversity. Ji Mengshu believed that even if the news of Ning Huaixuan's death came from the palace at this time, he could still enter the palace safely.

In the room where one could hear a pin drop, wisps of green smoke slowly flowed out from the incense burner, preventing people from feeling that time had stopped at that moment.

A faint sigh echoed, Ji Kang closed his eyes, and opened them after a long pause, "Meng Shu, do you feel that your father has pushed you into a pit of fire?"

Ji Mengshu frowned and shook her head obediently, "Father, I am a daughter of the Ji family. As a daughter of the Ji family, I have the responsibilities of a daughter of the Ji family. It's just that Mengshu also wants the Ji family to continue to reproduce for a long time, and I don't want to take the risk of wading into the muddy waters of the royal family."

Ji Kang nodded slightly. He knew since childhood that Ji Mengshu, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, was well-informed under the guidance of her mother and was not at all vague about court affairs.

However, they had been in power for a long time, so how could they just give up their power? Moreover, Ning Huaixuan's ability as an emperor was not obvious. Even if they gave up their power, they could not guarantee that they would not be killed by the emperor because of losing their power.

Every step thereafter seemed extremely difficult.

Life or death is just a matter of thought.

"Father understands, Mengshu, you go down first..." The conversation just now seemed to make Ji Kang extremely tired. He rubbed his nose bridge with his fingers and kneaded his eyebrows.

The words have been made clear. She has fought for herself after all. As for the others... Ji Mengshu glanced at Ji Kang and said, "Father, don't work too hard. Your daughter will withdraw..."

There was no attempt to persuade her to stay, nor any righteous words to support her. It was all to be expected.

The next morning.

The luxurious carriage stopped outside the mansion. Hongye supported her young lady and walked out of the Ji Mansion. Ji Ningqiu and Ji Xiuwen followed behind, as well as Jiang's mother.

"Mother, cousin and cousin, I'm just going to the palace. Mother, there's no need to mobilize such a large force to see me off..." Ji Mengshu stood in front of the mansion, looking at the people in front of him, each of whom had their own thoughts.

Ji Ningqiu sneered in her heart, thinking that if she went to the palace, who knew when she would be back.

Maybe it was because she noticed Ji Ningqiu's worries, but Ji Mengshu's chubby face had a bright smile, as if she had found something fun and wanted to share it with her. She said with a smile, "Third cousin, it would be lonely for me to go to the palace alone. Would you like to go with me? It's just right that we can take care of each other..."

As expected, when Ji Ningqiu heard the words "go with her", her eyes lit up for a few seconds, then dimmed again. What about going with her? The Queen Mother only let Ji Mengshu go alone...

What is she showing off?!

Ji Mengshu looked at her sincerely, as if really asking her what she thought. Jiang's mother came out from behind the two juniors, still with a calm and dignified look, "Mengshu, the Queen Mother has ordered that only you go..."

What this means is that you can’t bring anyone with you.

Ji Mengshu pursed her lips and smiled, the dimples on both sides of her face were faintly visible, as if she was deliberately trying to please him, "Mother, although the Queen Mother has given an oral order, there is no reason why a daughter cannot take my cousin with her. Look, Qingzhu Hongye is going with me, so you can let my cousin go with me... The Queen Mother likes lively occasions, and one more person means more lively occasions..."

Seeing Ji Mengshu's relentless attitude, Jiang's mother turned her head and glanced at Ji Ningqiu with a questioning look.

Ji Ningqiu bowed quickly and said with a smile, "If my sister goes alone, there will be no one to take care of her. Aunt, Ningqiu is willing to accompany my sister Mengshu to the palace."

Ji Mengshu smiled gently and said, that's right.

The group arrived at the palace. Having lived a life worse than death in the palace for so many years in their previous life, every flower and tree here seemed extremely irritating to them.

Every time in the palace, one wants to break out of this cage at all costs.

Ji Ningqiu was lost in thought as she stared at the plants and trees in the palace. Before she could recover from her overwhelming joy, Ji Mengshu actually begged for her to go to the palace. Her status was not as high as Ji Mengshu's, so she did not have many opportunities to enter the palace.

Her uncle was the prime minister, so Ji Mengshu was arranged to marry His Majesty at a young age. But poor Ji Ningqiu didn't have a father who was the prime minister.

Her father only had a job of some importance in the Ministry of Revenue thanks to the relationship with her eldest uncle, and her third uncle worked in the Dali Temple.

Although she is also the legitimate daughter of the second wife, her reputation is never greater than that of Ji Mengshu, the legitimate daughter of Dafang.

They are both in their prime, how can she not be jealous?

Ji Ningqiu secretly swore that she must seize the opportunity this time and make her brother Huaixuan look at her differently. The Queen Mother only wanted the girl from the Ji family. If that was the case, she, Ji Mengshu, could do it, so why couldn't she?

Following the palace servants along the long path, Ji Mengshu had no idea what Ji Ningqiu was thinking during this time, or rather, she simply didn't care.

The Empress Dowager's Jiaren Hall was not far from the main hall, but the path between the two places in the palace took a long time to walk. Ji Mengshu pounded his legs lightly, complaining in his heart that the road was too long.

The young eunuch in front of them said a few words of comfort and then arrived at the Jiaren Hall.

The empress dowager was old, but she still wore gold and silver ribbons among her white hair. Ji Mengshu and the other man knelt down and saluted in a very proper manner.
