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

The Ji family seems to be quite busy because of the marriages of the two young ladies. Ji Mengshu seems to be free every day, but she feels really tired because she has to keep her eyes and ears open.

In the middle of the night, the secret guard came out of Zelan Pavilion and walked to Fulan Pavilion in the dark. Ji Mengshu lit calming incense outside the bedroom, but she herself was not sleepy. At this critical moment, she didn't want to make any more mistakes.

"master."

Ji Mengshu didn't open his eyes. He pressed his throbbing temple and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Ji Ningqiu today?"

The secret guard lowered his eyes and told Ji Mengshu everything that happened today, "Today, the Second Madam discussed the wedding date with the Xu family and it was set on the seventh day after the New Year."

Ji Mengshu waved his hand, "Hongye, what is the auspicious date on the note sent by the Queen Mother?"

Hongye thought about it carefully and said confidently, "Girl, that post also says the seventh day of the first lunar month."

With a hint of smile on his lips, Ji Mengshu said, "Keep an eye on the Second Madam and Ji Ningqiu's every move. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately."

"Yes."

Hongye stood in the darkness, puzzled, "Doesn't the Second Madam know that the seventh day of the lunar year is the young lady's wedding date? How come she and the young lady are going to get married on the same day?"

Of course she knew. Ji Mengshu only now realized what it felt like to have someone send her a pillow before she went to sleep. She was just worrying about how to avoid getting married, and Ji Ningqiu just handed her the pillow she had prepared.

Just pretend to be a victim for once.

Ever since he learned about Ji Mengshu's marriage, Ji Yuanzheng has been rushing back as fast as he can, fearing that he would miss the New Year and Ah Shu's wedding.

After a long journey, when Ji Yuanzheng returned home it was deep winter. A thick layer of snow covered the road. Ji Yuanzheng returned wearing a cloak, feeling cold all over.

"Oh, young master, why are you in such a hurry? It's slippery in the snow, why don't you walk slower?" The nanny took the cold and wet cloak and felt a little distressed. Even if a martial artist has a good body, he can't stand such a torment.

Ji Yuanzheng waved his hand and said, "Madam, please tell my father and mother that I have returned home." Then he walked straight to Fulanxuan.

Ji Mengshu never thought that her brother would come back so soon. The journey from the border county to the capital was long, and the weather was snowy and slippery, so the journey was really uncomfortable.

"Brother?"

Ji Yuan was standing outside and didn't go in. The house was heated by a floor heater, which made people feel warm and lazy. It was as if he could hear his frozen blood gradually thawing, flowing through his body, and heat gathering at his fingertips.

"Ashu..."

Ji Mengshu seemed to see Ji Yuanzheng again when she was little. When she was young, she was bullied by others. Her mother told her to win people over with virtue and not to retaliate. She was very small at that time and cried under the porch while hugging herself. It was Ji Yuanzheng who coaxed her for a long time before she told him that she was bullied by others.

It was Ji Yuanzheng who personally invited the man out and beat him up in the street, and also threatened that no one should bully his sister, otherwise he would beat him up every time he saw him. From then on, everyone in the capital knew that the eldest son of the Ji family was particularly concerned about his sister, and no one in the capital dared to provoke her.

"Hongye! Hurry up and make a bowl of ginger soup!"

"Brother, why did you go home early? The weather is so cold, what if you get frozen?"

Feeling that his body was almost warm, Ji Yuanzheng hugged him and said with a smile, "Brother is here to support you."

Doesn't she dislike the emperor? She just won't marry him.

"Brother is the best person in the world to me." Ji Mengshu coaxed him to drink a bowl of hot ginger soup, and then urged him to take a hot bath quickly, otherwise he would catch a cold as soon as he got home, and his mother would be worried.

The road I walked in my previous life was so bumpy, there is no reason to walk it again in this life.

At the end of the year, the Ji residence was bustling with activity, and two big red windproof lanterns were hung in front of the door. Ji Mengshu was wearing thick clothes, holding a hot water bottle in her hand, with only her face exposed.

Ji Ningqiu stepped over the threshold, followed by Linglong, the maid, who said with an inexplicable sadness, "Fifth sister will soon be 15 years old, and will get married soon after. So, I'm afraid this year's New Year's Eve will be the last New Year's Eve for you and me..."

Who doesn’t know how to deal with people?

Ji Mengshu also looked sad. "Yes, the palace is not like home. What if I can't see my father and mother every year and live alone in the deep palace?"

Qingzhu behind him felt a lump in his throat and almost cried.

"Fifth sister, don't worry. The Queen Mother loves you and will never let you suffer any injustice." Ji Ningqiu looked at the snowy road in front of the door that was trampled dirty. The temperature in her eyes was even colder than on a snowy day.

Ji Mengshu pretended to wipe away her tears, thinking that no one knew better than her what life would be like after entering the palace. The calculations and cold eyes all day long were troublesome just thinking about it.

"It is gratifying that my second sister has found a good match."

The two sisters said some sour words to each other insincerely, and then came in one after another. Ji Ningqiu looked at her retreating back and showed a smile that was almost cruel.

Is Ji Mengshu so naive that she thinks she can become the queen of the country so smoothly? Oh, it won't be so smooth.

The night before the New Year is always a little different. The crackling sounds in the yard make people's hearts beat fast. However, in just a few months, Ah Shou grew very fast. In a blink of an eye, he was as tall as Hongye's shoulder.

Several people were laughing and making a snowman in the yard. Aqing took a small branch and inserted it on both sides of the snowman, while Qingzhu cracked a dried fruit shell and put it on top as an eye. In this way, they made the snowman one by one.

Ji Mengshu was too cold to watch from a distance. Hongye brought a thick velvet cape from the house and put it on her. She stood behind Ji Mengshu and watched the group of half-grown children playing in the yard. I don't know who started it, but they started a snowball fight.

The half-grown boy had a light in his eyes. No matter what he did, he would look at Hongye standing behind Ji Mengshu. Finally, Ah Shou came over with the snowball in his hand and said, "Sister Hongye, come and play with us."

Hongye shook her head. This was a game only for children...why should she join in the fun?

Seeing Hongye shaking her head, the young boy felt a little disappointed. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a snowball hitting Hongye steadily. Qingzhu stood on the side and said provocatively, "Sister Hongye! Even if you are next to the girl, I can still hit you!"

"Qingzhu, you are so brave. Aren't you afraid of throwing it at the girl?!" Hongye took a few steps forward and pretended to hit him, but Qingzhu dodged with a leap and stuck out her tongue at Hongye.

A few people started making noise in the yard again. Ji Mengshu watched and felt that days like this should go on year after year.
