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

"It's only April, why worry about sunburn?"

Ji Mengshu yawned lazily and didn't take it seriously. However, she was still very satisfied with the thoughtfulness of the man in front of her.

Ji Mengshu raised her eyes, glanced at Ning Rongzhang's still pale face, and couldn't help but want to make a joke.

She ordered Qingzhu: "Get a bench for the young master. I'm afraid he will get dizzy from the morning sun."

Ning Rongzhang is a man, how could he allow others to think of him as so weak? Not to mention that Ji Mengshu is his long-cherished sweetheart, wouldn't that be embarrassing!

So he quickly said, "Don't worry, young lady. My wound is fine now."

"Oh? Really? But you had a hard time getting out of bed last night..."

Ji Mengshu said quietly, asking Ning Rongzhang to remain silent.

He knew that his little girl was very intelligent and that his disguise last night would not be able to hide it from her.

But when he thought that she was willing to tuck in the quilt for him even though she knew he was pretending to be weak and lying on the bed, Ning Rongzhang felt sweet in his heart again.

"cough."

Ning Rongzhang cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Speaking of last night, my subordinates have already prepared the medicinal materials for making rouge and powder. To ensure the quality, please make a sample first."

"Of course, it's not just the ingredients, the techniques used in making it are also very important. I will teach you all of them later."

After chatting about business for a while, Ji Mengshu mentioned casually, "Speaking of which, this summer will indeed be hotter."

Ning Rongzhang thought she was just overheated and invited her back to her room: "Miss, do you want to come in and rest?"

Ji Mengshu shook his head: "I remember you said your hometown is in Western Xinjiang?"

"Yes, but what rare things did you think of in Western Xinjiang?"

"No, I just thought of the bravery of King Changyou, who guarded the Western Frontier for many years and turned the barren land from a place of poverty into a place where Western merchants are prosperous today. However, no matter how rich the specialties of the Western Frontier are, the terrain there is dangerous and the climate is hot, so it naturally needs more water than the capital."

"So...if this year is really a year of severe drought, I think the people of Western Xinjiang will not have an easy summer."

Ji Mengshu almost forgot that there would be a drought this summer, and the worst-hit place in the entire Dali Dynasty was Prince Changyou's fiefdom.

It can be said that the gold and stones are scorched and not a single blade of grass grows.

In order to provide disaster relief, King Changyou submitted memorials to the court many times requesting support.

However, the capital was in a state of distress at the time, and all the memorials were rejected.

Prince Changyou was so angry that he had an argument with the Queen Mother, and was almost stripped of his title for this, but he still did not receive any relief food.

Fortunately, in the end, the people of Western Xinjiang survived the famine without any serious casualties.

Ji Mengshu thought that the two of them were already in a cooperative relationship, so he planned to give some suggestions.

As soon as Ji Mengshu finished speaking, Ning Rongzhang already knew what she meant.

In years of drought and famine, every household has to store food to survive.

But why did Ji Mengshu say this to him?

On the surface, he was just an ordinary Western Xinjiang merchant. How much food could he store even if he was preparing for a rainy day? It was difficult to support a family, not to mention that Ji Mengshu was referring to the four words "Western Xinjiang people".

Could it be that she guessed his identity?

As a prince of a fiefdom, you can store more grain.

But things can get tricky.

Food and fodder are equivalent to maintaining soldiers.

To put it bluntly, this question can test whether Ning Rongzhang has rebellious intentions.

And it just so happened that Ning Rongzhang really had rebellious intentions.

Not to mention food, he also secretly stored water, soldiers, and weapons in the entire Western Xinjiang.

No matter how much Ning Rongzhang likes Ji Mengshu, thinking of Ji Mengshu's current identity, he will never reveal his true identity.

Therefore, Ning Rongzhang could only play dumb and deal with it: "I didn't expect that the young lady has dabbled in geography. She is really smart."

Ji Mengshu didn't say this to win praise.

Seeing the man like this, I knew he wouldn't discuss this topic in depth.

Ji Mengshu replied calmly, "I was just reading a few books on geography when I was free. I was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously. But I thought that if there is a chance, you can buy more food and keep it at home when you return to Western Xinjiang, just to prevent any disaster."

This was all she could say. It was up to Ning Rongzhang whether to listen or not.

Hearing this, Ning Rongzhang still did not comment and replied vaguely: "Young lady is very resourceful."

Ji Mengshu knew that Ning Rongzhang didn't have a close relationship with her at the moment, so it was normal for her to be on guard.

He understood the truth, but listening to Ning Rongzhang's repeated responses, Ji Mengshu couldn't help feeling annoyed.

It’s all Prince Changyou’s fault. Why was he so enthusiastic towards her before?

In comparison, it's really hot and cold, close yet distant!

Ji Mengshu suddenly became too lazy to talk to Ning Rongzhang and stood up to leave.

"Where are you going, girl?" Ning Rongzhang called from behind.

"horse riding!"

Ji Mengshu has a little habit, which is to vent his feelings by riding a horse and hunting when he is in a bad mood.

When she was a child, she learned the art of riding and archery from her grandfather, and her grandfather praised Ji Mengshu at that time.

If you can continue to learn for a long time, you will be no less capable than Mulan.

However, because of an imperial decree from the old ancestor, Ji Mengshu was made the queen. Ji Mengshu gave up her military career and studied the etiquette and teachings in the palace.

After not shooting a bow for such a long time, Ji Mengshu found that she still had some talent after practicing. Not long after, she shot a deer.

Ji Mengshu adopted the method of hunting in a circle. He did not harm the deer, but instead used arrows to support its limbs and trapped it.

Afterwards she dismounted and walked over to cut off the antlers as a trophy of this successful hunt.

At this moment, Ning Rongzhang's voice came from behind: "Miss, why don't you bring guards with you when you go into the mountains? Don't get hurt."

Ji Mengshu turned around and saw Ning Rongzhang riding a black-maned horse, slowly following her.

Ji Mengshu raised his eyebrows: "Young Master, your injuries are not fully healed yet, how can you follow me into the mountains?"

Ning Rongzhang not only followed, but also hunted two wild rabbits when he saw them along the way.

He guessed that Ji Mengshu seemed angry, and held up two snow-white fur rabbits as a gift: "The snow rabbits are cute and lively. Do you like them, girl? If you like them, take them home and make them your pet slaves."

Unfortunately, Ji Mengshu was not very interested in the little rabbit and was concentrating on peeling deer antlers.

Only then did Ning Rongzhang realize that Ji Mengshu was very different from ordinary women.

He is still injured and cannot move too much.

Moreover, Prince Ning was taught since he was a child that women like small and delicate objects, so he was quite complacent after hunting two rabbits, thinking that Ji Mengshu would like them.

Who would have thought that at this moment Ji Mengshu only had eyes for the elk she had hunted!

Comparing the sizes of each other's prey, even Ning Rongzhang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"--cough."

Ning Rongzhang quickly threw away the rabbit in his hand, as if he had never taken it out before, and put his hands behind his back.

"Miss, you are so kind. It reminds me of my childhood in the Western Frontier, when I also captured a yellow tiger with hanging eyes and tabby spots. I was young at that time and couldn't bear to hurt its life, so I just shaved its neck hair and made a shawl for my mother at home."
