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

Ji Mengshu held a delicate little rabbit in her hand, which felt a little hot. She didn't know why she thought of Ning Rongzhang on such a night. She didn't know whether he had a good New Year in Xinjiang.

On the night of the New Year, Ning Rongzhang finally could not sit still anymore. He counted a team of personal guards and set off in the dark night.

After the New Year, it was her coming-of-age ceremony. The sixth day was the coming-of-age ceremony, and the seventh day was the ceremony to crown her as queen. Throughout history, no dynasty had ever been so anxious to crown a queen.

Before her coming-of-age ceremony, she still went to see her parents, "Father, Mother... Shu'er has something to say."

Ji Kang was also reluctant to part with his own daughter, but unfortunately the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, and as a subject, he could not disobey it.

"Good Shu'er, after entering the palace, even if you are wronged, your mother will not be able to take care of you. From now on, Shu'er will be alone in the deep palace. However, you are the queen of the Dali Dynasty. Even if His Majesty does not like you, he will definitely not be too harsh on you..." Mother Jiang held Ji Mengshu's hand and looked worried.

"Don't worry, mother. Shu'er knows in her heart... no matter what happens in the future, Shu'er will bear all the consequences..."

Ji Kang also had a sullen expression and patted her shoulder.

It turns out that it’s not that they don’t know, but that they can’t change.

On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Mengshu couldn't sleep. People don't grow up overnight, nor do they grow up on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony. They grow up on countless nights when they suffer injustices and only they know about it.

When she was strolling outside with the hot water bottle in her pocket, the man suddenly appeared in front of her... He had been alone in the stone pavilion in the yard for an unknown period of time. Fortunately, there was no one in her yard, otherwise she would have arrested him as an assassin.

"Ning Rongzhang?"

She had never called him by his name like that...

The latter raised his head, his eyes seemed to have no sleepiness at all even in the cold night, only the fatigue that was covered up in his eyes...

"You... why are you here? By the way, when did you return to the capital? Why don't I have any news?" Ji Mengshu came closer and saw the frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes. She thought to herself, is this person not cold? She quickly handed him the hot water bottle in her hand.

Before Ning Rongzhang could react, a warm object had been stuffed into his hands. It was small and exquisite, and it was obviously something used by his daughter.

Under Ji Mengshu's warning eyes, he still wrapped the tiny thing with his big hands, and in an instant, the heat flowed through his palms and went straight to his heart.

The cold and stiff body seemed to begin to thaw because of her arrival.

"You haven't answered my question yet..." Ji Mengshu gathered her clothes, "Didn't you go back to Western Xinjiang? Why did you come back so soon?"

Ning Rongzhang blinked his eyes, and after a long pause he said, "I heard that tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony, and I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."

"Oh—you should have said so earlier."

Ning Rongzhang probed, "I heard that the Queen's enthronement ceremony will be on the seventh day of the first lunar month. Have you... have you thought about it?"

Ji Mengshu pretended to be depressed, "My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, this is my fate, I can't change it..."

The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and its true appearance could not be seen in the grayness. Not knowing whether tomorrow would be a good day, Ji Mengshu chatted idly.

The man seemed to be emitting a chill that made people feel unapproachable. After a while, he said, "I will be staying in a teahouse in the city for the time being. If you change your mind, come find me. Since we are friends, I will definitely help you."

"Hey——" Without waiting for Ji Mengshu to stop him, the man jumped over the back wall and left, but his reaction was a little slower than before. Ji Mengshu was halfway through her words, just wanting to ask if his wounds had healed, but he just left like that, as if this was a den of wolves and tigers.

Ah San was outside the back wall. When he saw his master coming down, he hurriedly gave him a hand and said, "Master..."

"I'm fine..." Ning Rongzhang's face was pale, and under the care of the snow, it looked even more bloodless, "Let's go."

Asan has followed him for so many years and can see clearly that his prince likes the young lady of the Ji family. Unfortunately, the young lady of the Ji family has been engaged to the emperor since she was a child and her status is so noble.

If it was a girl from an ordinary family, seeing that her master was in such a difficult situation, Asan would have snatched her away even if she had to force her to do something. However, the Ji family was prominent, and if Ji Mengshu was really touched, the entire Western Xinjiang would be in disaster.

What their prince had worked so hard to build might eventually turn into nothing. Ah San gritted his teeth, the Ji family could not be touched, and the young lady of the Ji family could not be robbed.

But it’s rare for his prince to be attracted to a woman. If he misses this one, how long will he have to wait for the next one?

Ah San followed Ning Rongzhang closely. Since he received the news from Ning Er that the wedding date would be on the seventh day of the lunar new year, he had actually seen that the prince could not eat or sleep well. It was not as hard as when he fought against the barbarians. However, in just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight.

Ah San sighed.

Since we can't be together, why did we meet in the first place?

After riding all the way from the Western Frontier without a good rest, Ah San looked at the back wall. He didn't know what his master had said to the young lady of the Ji family. He went in in the severe cold and came out in a daze. He didn't know if the young lady knew what her master meant.

After returning to the teahouse, the candle in Ning Rongzhang's room never went out. It was not until the sun rose that any movement was seen in the room.

The next morning.

The servants in the Ji Mansion began to get busy and lively. Before noon, many guests had arrived, including the elders of the Ji family.

After all, it was a coming-of-age ceremony, and it needed to be witnessed by the elders of the family. However, the others came mostly to try to establish a relationship with Ji Mengshu because of her status as the future queen.

Everyone sat down slowly. Ji Ningqiu looked at the fawning faces of those people and sneered in her heart, thinking, "I'm afraid you have flattered the wrong person. After she becomes the queen, these people will come to flatter their second house everywhere, just like they did today."

The Ji family has few descendants, and the second branch has not had a male heir for many years. Ji Ningqiu is the only hope of the second branch. If she really listens to the eldest lady and marries a member of the Xu family, who is not of high status, then her life will be over.

Just looking at today's grand scene, it seems that one can imagine the scene of tomorrow's wedding, with a ten-mile-long red makeup, being welcomed into the palace and becoming the queen. How glorious that will be?

It was the Ji family's eldest daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. The clan elders followed the rules, but Ji Mengshu said nothing, like a doll being pulled by a string.

The guests below were whispering, marveling at the beauty of the girl from the Ji family. Her every move was of a noble character, and she was truly worthy of living in the harem.

Only after completing those complicated rituals did Ji Mengshu let out a breath.
