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

Ji Mengshu also laughed, "If Second Sister is impatient, I will report to the Queen Mother and let you go home——"

"Hey - that's not what I meant," Ji Ningqiu interrupted her hastily and added, "My fifth sister hasn't even returned home yet, so how can I, as her elder sister, leave first?"

She acted so well. Ji Mengshu watched her acting at ease. If it weren't for Ning Huaixuan, whom she loved so much, in the palace, why would she come?

A breeze mixed with a little fragrance came, fragrant but not greasy, a very familiar smell... It seemed that Ji Mengshu understood the purpose of Ji Ningqiu's visit.

"What a nice smell..." This light and elegant fragrance floats in the air, making people want to smell it again and again. "Second sister, can you smell it?"

"Really?" Ji Ningqiu first sniffed the air, then sniffed her own clothes, and suddenly smiled again, "Oh, fifth sister, look at my memory. What you smelled might be the fragrance of the white locust tree."

Ji Mengshu sniffed the aroma and retracted his head. He had already guessed about 70% of the answer. Looking at the happy face of Ji Ningqiu, he asked eagerly, "Where did you get this rouge, Second Sister? It smells so good."

Being envied by Ji Mengshu also made Ji Ningqiu feel very proud.

"Fifth sister has stayed in the imperial city for too long. The world outside has changed drastically." Ji Ningqiu smiled as he looked at her ignorant face.

Ji Mengshu also realized something very well, "So, second sister's rouge is a new fashion outside the palace? No wonder I never knew about it before..."

"Alas - this rouge is good, but it is really expensive. This small jar costs one tael of silver."

"Hiss...one tael?" Ji Mengshu also echoed, "It's really a bit expensive." What's expensive about it? This rouge has a unique fragrance and is made with complicated craftsmanship. Not to mention one tael of silver for a jar, even if it's two taels of silver for a jar, Ji Mengshu would not think it's too much.

I don't know what Ning Rongzhang is thinking. The dignitaries in the imperial city have plenty of money. He is thinking about them, but those jackals, tigers and leopards are unwilling to think about him.

Some time ago, Ning Huaixuan went crazy for some unknown reason. In the Qiannan area, he successively took back the fiefs of two vassal kings and had many supporters in the court.

If you dare to weaken Pan without thundering measures, it may harm the foundation of the Dali Dynasty.

"Fifth sister..."

Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and Ji Mengshu had to deal with her again.

"Fifth sister has taken such good care of me in the palace. Mother always said that people should know how to be grateful. Whatever flavor Fifth sister likes, I will ask someone outside the palace to buy it for you..."

Ji Mengshu looked at her smiling face and thought, how could this person be so good? People should be grateful. Her father Ji Kang had helped the second house for so many years, why did she slander her father for treason? She brought shame to the Ji family. In her heart, apart from Ning Huaixuan, did she ever have the Ji family in her eyes?

She never saw her true heart.

"Second sister," Ji Mengshu grabbed her sleeve and said coquettishly as if she was a child, "Second sister, how could you forget that when we were young, we went to the palace to play in the Imperial Garden. At that time, the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom, and we happened to meet His Majesty, and the three of us explored among the flowers."

Ji Ningqiu remembered this incident. The meeting in the Imperial Garden was also the first time she met Ning Huaixuan.

"That day, my second sister asked me what kind of fragrance I liked. I said jasmine. Then she asked His Majesty, and His Majesty said he liked hibiscus."

She specifically reminded Ji Ningqiu that Ning Huaixuan liked Furong.

After saying a few words of farewell, Ji Mengshu looked at Ji Ningqiu's back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had lived in the palace for so long, and if she took the initiative to ask to go home, the empress dowager would not be able to force her to stay.

I hope Ji Ningqiu can seize the opportunity in this limited time. If she can really become a phoenix overnight, she will be spared the suffering of entering the palace.

-

On the pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Ji Ningqiu was wearing a Narcissus autumn shirt, looking cheerful and pretty, and was dancing on the pavilion at this moment.

She has a beautiful face and a gorgeous figure. With a wave of her hand, she can attract four or five butterflies to dance with her.

The eunuch followed Ning Huaixuan and stopped.

It was a little hard to see because of the several palace paths. Ning Huaixuan asked, "Can you see who is dancing?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, look at that bun and palace dress, she doesn't look like a queen in the palace..."

Isn’t she the empress in the palace?

In this harem, besides the concubines, aren't there also the Ji sisters who were invited by the Queen Mother? Ha, interesting.

"Go, go and have a look."

Only after walking in could I see the person's face. It was Ji Ningqiu. The latter was concentrating on dancing with the butterflies and had not noticed the two people who were slowly walking towards her not far away.

The eunuch also knew this girl from the Ji family. The last time His Majesty had dinner in Zhuoqing Palace, the maids around her gave him a lot of silver as a "respect".

The dance is over.

Ji Ningqiu was just about to take a break when she heard applause from behind her. "A stunning dance, indeed quite good."

Ji Ningqiu's eyes flashed with a little panic. She looked at the man she had been thinking about and knelt down without thinking, "Your Majesty... I didn't know Your Majesty was here. I offended Your Majesty... Please forgive me--"

How can a beautiful woman be punished for asking for forgiveness?

Ning Huaixuan helped him up and asked in confusion, "Last time we met, you called me Brother Huaixuan all the time. Why are you so distant today?"

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

Ji Ningqiu bit her lip. It was Ning Huaixuan who rejected her last time, so how could she have the face to call him Brother Huaixuan? Thinking of this, she felt a little justified.

"Then what does your majesty want your subject to call you?"

Ning Huaixuan leaned forward slightly and smelled the faint fragrance of hibiscus on her body. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and there was a bit of indulgence in his eyes. "It's up to you."

"Then...Brother Huaixuan?"

Seeing that no one objected, Ji Ningqiu accepted the name. With a shy look on her face, she suddenly heard Ning Huaixuan say, "The lotus seed soup last time was very delicious, and today's dance was really beautiful..." Ning Huaixuan took a step closer, pinched the woman's chin with his right hand with a jade ring, and lifted it slightly.

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

Ji Ningqiu's eyes were filled with fear and a sense of being at a loss. She was forced to look at Ning Huaixuan's face and said shyly, "Brother Huaixuan is wise and brave. I admire him very much. I just want to make him happy."

"Is that all you want?"

"As long as I can be with Brother Huaixuan, I have nothing to ask for."

The woman's face was blushing too much, and the scent of hibiscus floating in the air was too pleasant, and the skin she caressed between her fingers was even more tender and smooth.

It nearly made him lose consciousness.

Such a good woman, but her status cannot compare with Ji Mengshu, is really unsatisfactory. In a few moments, Ning Huaixuan had almost thought of all the possibilities.
