Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

It's impossible that she would be crushed before she could take action.

As the crown prince, Nan Rongzhi's strength is indeed a little weak.

Can't protect myself at all.

"No, even though Uncle Wang is the King of Hell, I've never seen him kill innocent people. The most he can do is make your shop go out of business."

Nan Rongzhi raised her eyebrows, "But with Bai Yi here, Uncle Wang shouldn't deal with you."

Meng Xiyue nodded. That was right. She was cooperating with Bai Yi, and Bai Yi was the King of Zhennan's man. It was equivalent to cooperating with the King of Zhennan. Maybe he would even help her.

"It seems that I have to curry favor with Bai Yi."

Bai Yi is also a fickle person. Even though they get along well these days, he will turn hostile if something makes him unhappy.

"That's not necessary. Once your identity as Master Mo Ran is revealed, I'm afraid he will rush to curry favor with you."

Nan Rongzhi smiled and said, "In addition to being obsessed with medicinal herbs, Bai Yi is also obsessed with calligraphy and painting. The person he admires most is Master Mo Ran."

"is it?"

Meng Xiyue suddenly felt that Mo Ran's identity was really useful in Nanrong Country, which was dominated by literature.

As they were talking, they arrived at the queen's palace.

From afar, I saw a graceful and elegant woman waiting anxiously at the entrance of the palace.

When she saw them coming, she hurried to greet them. The queen looked Nan Rongzhi up and down and asked worriedly.

"The eldest prince and the prime minister didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"It's okay, it's all over. Look, I'm here in good health."

Nan Rongzhi said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm hungry."

"Go prepare the meal."

The Queen immediately ordered.

Watching the two of them getting along, Meng Xiyue remembered what Nan Rongzhi said, that the queen was an extremely good person.

She is gentle, kind, loving and amiable, and she is kind to everyone.

She was born into a family of military generals and was supposed to be free and easy-going, but because of the person she loved, she was trapped in this world.

Fortunately, she has the emperor's favor, otherwise she would have withered.

Looking at her eyes now, there is a hint of tiredness. She must have had a very hard time over the years in order to keep Nan Rongzhi's secret.

"This is Princess Yong'an, right?"

After making sure that her daughter was safe, the queen finally noticed Meng Xiyue.

"My daughter Meng Xiyue pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Meng Xiyue didn't know what the etiquette of Nanrong Kingdom was, so she could only perform the blessing ceremony for the queen according to what she learned at Yuanqing National Academy.

"Wake up, you are such a beauty."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, her eyes seemed as if she was really looking at her daughter-in-law, which made Meng Xiyue shiver.

Could it be that the queen has forgotten that Nan Rongzhi is a girl?

"You must be exhausted from the long journey. Come in and have your meal."

The Queen Mother grabbed a person in each hand and walked into the bedroom with a smile on her face.

Meng Xiyue looked up at her, thinking that she would blame herself.

After all, it was because of me that Nan Rongzhi lost five cities and was harassed by the eldest prince.

But from beginning to end, she never asked any questions, but treated her like a junior, caring for her.

While eating, while picking up food for Nan Rongzhi, he did not forget himself.

"Because of Zhi'er, you came all the way to Nanrong. You don't have any relatives here. I know you must be upset."

The queen looked at her lovingly and said, "From now on, you should treat me and Zhi'er as your family. If you have any problems or encounter any grievances, you can tell us and we will take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, Queen."

No matter whether she was sincere or not, she was deeply moved that someone could say these words to her in this strange place.

"Alright, eat quickly. The emperor just issued an order saying that a banquet will be held for you tomorrow. I will ask the couture department to measure your size and make a palace dress for you as soon as possible."

There must be many young ladies from aristocratic families coming this time, and the proper respect must be maintained.

Otherwise you will be suppressed by others in the future.

"it is good."

Meng Xiyue nodded and did not refuse. She now represented not only herself, but also Nan Rongzhi and the Queen. She had to support tomorrow's banquet.

After the meal, the Queen sent someone to escort Meng Xiyue back to the East Palace, and also asked the people from the Tailoring Office to come and tailor clothes for her.

Now Meng Xiyue has no place to live, so she is temporarily allowed to live in Nan Rongzhi's bedroom.

After Meng Xiyue left, the Queen looked at Nan Rongzhi with some reproach.

"You were too reckless this time, and you didn't even inform me and your father in advance."

Nan Rongzhi only said that she wanted to go to Yuanqing Kingdom to propose marriage. She did not tell them anything else, nor did she say that she wanted to exchange five cities.

"Mother, you still don't trust me, I am not the kind of person who would mess around."

Nan Rongzhi hugged her arms and acted coquettishly. In modern times, she was an orphan and had never enjoyed the love of her parents.

After coming here, although she was born in a royal family, the emperor and empress were really good to her.

"It's your mother who is worrying too much. You have been more sensible than others since you were a child."

As she spoke, distress flashed across the queen's eyes again, and she reached out and stroked her head.

Her daughter should have been a pampered princess and lived a carefree life, but because of her selfishness, she had such a hard life.

As for fighting on the battlefield, not to mention a princess, even a lady who was born into a military family had never suffered such hardship.

"It is the Queen Mother who is sorry for you."

Knowing that she was thinking about those things again, Nan Rongzhi quickly comforted her, "Mother, I told you, I like my life now very much."

Both the original owner and her now like this kind of life very much, especially the original owner. It has always been her dream to be able to go to the battlefield and fight. If she had not disguised herself as a man, she was afraid that she would not be able to realize it.

Needless to say, if it were worn by a delicate young lady, she really wouldn't know how she would adapt to it.

"The road ahead will become more and more difficult."

The queen spoke weakly, those literati families were like a cage, binding her and the emperor tightly. After struggling for so long, it seemed that nothing had changed.

Even if the emperor insisted on passing the throne to Nan Rongzhi in the end, what would that change?

Just another emperor.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she often regretted hiding Nan Rongzhi's identity.

But things have come to this point, and she has no chance to turn back.

"Mother, it won't get harder. I've brought Yue'er here. With her help, we will definitely win."

"Although Master Mo Ran is respectable, she is a woman after all. She cannot participate in government affairs and cannot even enter Donglin Court. What can she change?"

The queen was puzzled. She thought Meng Xiyue looked like a child with a strong character and she really didn't see any outstanding qualities in her.
