Ning Huaixuan stood with his hands folded and asked the women to dress him.

After getting dressed neatly, he went to the Queen Mother's place leisurely.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what happened. Ever since Ji Ningqiu married into the palace, she hasn't been in good health. Judging from her complexion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she died on the spot.

"Emperor, what do you think?"

Ning Huaixuan said with a smile, "Don't you want power, uncle? I'll give it to you!"

"What he wants is more than just power. A... ahem! A vassal of Prince Wu is not enough to satisfy him. He wants to break into the palace. He wants to change the Dali Dynasty!"

The Queen Mother lay on her side on the bed and now she didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Since he wants it, I'll give it to him!" Ning Huaixuan put his hands together, indicating that he was helpless.

"You bastard!" the Queen Mother yelled at the top of her lungs.

Ning Huaixuan listened and felt that the empress dowager's speech was not as vigorous as before.

"Grandmother, calm down. What I mean is that if Prince Wu wants to be the emperor, then I will give him the fiefdom of Prince Wu and let him be the emperor himself..."

Looking up at the empress dowager's pale face, Ning Huaixuan said indifferently, "Prince Wu is my uncle anyway, and the Dali Dynasty is not in the hands of outsiders. What does the empress dowager say?"

Even Nanny Huang beside her could hardly bear to listen.

After comforting the Queen Mother, he said in a cold voice, "The Dali Dynasty was passed down to Your Majesty... From ancient times to the present, there has never been a saying of separation of the country... The Queen Mother is tired, the Emperor should think about the countermeasures before coming..."

After being driven out, Ning Huaixuan was not in a hurry.

Sitting in the stone pavilion outside, I was thinking seriously about the solution. The throne? That's right... I would like to worship it.

No wonder so many people want it.

There was a lot of corruption in the palace, and it was not as serious as the documents said.

When one is alone, one really can't think of any solution.

When the court went to court the next day, all the ministers spoke of the country's doom. Some said they would send troops, while others said they would lead the army personally. Everyone was trying their best to contribute a little to the war.

The North is indeed in chaos.

Ji Mengshu hasn't been able to contact Ning Rongzhang for a long time.

As a vassal king of the Western Frontier, he must return to the Western Frontier to appease the people after such a big incident. After all, the North is not far from the Western Frontier.

If Prince Wu found Ning Rongzhang, the next time they met, one would be a rebel prince and the other would be an insignificant official's daughter in the capital.

I don’t know what the people in the palace are thinking, but the fire of rebellion has already started in the north.

The palace also sent out invitations, inviting noble families to participate, and gave it the beautiful name of "Spring Banquet."

What a spring feast.

Ji Mengshu slammed the invitation shut, "Hongye, prepare the car!"

When the green leaves begin to grow, it would be harmless for the palace to hold a spring banquet in accordance with custom, but how can the current situation be compared with the prosperous times?

The important cities in the north are almost unable to hold on.

The people in the harem are still preparing a spring banquet.

I am afraid that this country will not perish fast enough.

At the spring banquet, the daughters of all officials were still as graceful and beautiful as flowers.

The ladies of various families were talking about the fashionable clothing styles in the capital this year, and they seemed carefree as if they were still living a life of drunkenness and dreams in their previous life.

There was only one person present who was different from the others.

Ji Mengshu waved towards Li Huaixiang. She was dressed in tight clothes and had her black hair tied up high, looking like a female general about to go to the battlefield.

"Huai Xiang, you look really good in this..."

Li Huaixiang's nose was sore, "Ah Shu, this is my favorite dress. In the past, I wanted to wear this out, but my mother was not happy, saying that I, a girl, dressed like a man..."

Li Huaixiang felt more and more wronged. She sniffed and said, "Then I'll say, what's wrong with being a girl? Women can also serve the country."

"Today... I didn't listen to my mother, Ah Shu... I don't like it here at all." Li Huaixiang held back and didn't cry.

Ji Mengshu patted her shoulder and said, "Women dress to please themselves. It's Huaixiang's choice how to dress... Besides, this dress is really beautiful."

They exchanged a few words, all of which were about the current rebellion of Prince Wu. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, she and Huai Xiang were the only ones she could talk about in common.

The emperor came with his concubine.

Li Huaixiang sniffed and separated from Ji Mengshu.

Everyone sits in their own seat.

The emperor looked in good spirits, with a look of affection in his thick brows. After settling Liu Huachao down, he entertained everyone.

A spring banquet should be relaxing and enjoyable, with people appreciating flowers and drinking wine.

The ladies were also very supportive, and everyone had a smile on their face.

All the concubines in the harem took advantage of the good weather to attend the banquet, and those concubines who had just entered the palace could also take this opportunity to have a good chat with their families.

After three rounds of drinking.

There was a hint of warmth on everyone's face from the alcohol.

Li Huaixiang didn't drink a drop of wine. He rolled up his sleeves and rolled up his arms, outlining a smooth and neat arc.

The general's wife was not paying attention, so Li Huaixiang walked forward, attracting the attention of countless noble ladies, and even the guards arranged in the dark were ready to draw their swords.

Ning Huaixuan put down his wine glass and looked at the people below, "Oh... I remember now, you are the daughter of the general's mansion. Why? The way you are dressed today, could it be that you have some amazing talent?"

Talent?

Li Huaixiang bowed her hands, but did not perform the kind of greeting that women would do. She said loudly, just like a man, "Your Majesty, I don't have any talent. I just want to ask for a favor from Your Majesty."

The general's wife was extremely anxious. Huai Xiang was a girl who was usually reckless, and now she was so reckless as to appear in front of His Majesty.

Ning Huaixuan pretended to be embarrassed, "This grace can only be asked for by people who have made contributions. So tell me, what ability do you have to ask for grace from me?"

Without waiting for Li Huaixiang to speak, the general's wife stood up and said, "Your Majesty...I am not a good teacher. This girl is just talking nonsense. Huaixiang! Come over here!"

The general's wife is a girl from a noble family in the capital and a general's wife.

She considered it a failure in her life that she had not raised Li Huaixiang to be a well-educated and well-mannered girl.

Li Huaixiang glanced at the general's wife without saying anything, and waited stubbornly for the emperor's reply.

"Well, then tell me, what kind of grace do you want?"

Li Huaixiang stiffened her neck and said, "Your Majesty, I want to join the army and fight."

In one sentence, neither too loud nor too soft, the people sitting next to me heard it clearly. Not only does a girl dress like this, but she also wants to join the army? Did you know that all the women in the military camp are military prostitutes?

Not only was there a lot of whispering going on, but even Ning Huaixuan was surprised for a moment, "Why is that?"

"The country is destroyed and the family is ruined, that's all."

The general's wife twisted her handkerchief, feeling extremely angry. If she had known, she would not have brought her along. What the hell was this talk of joining the army? It was just like a fairy tale.
