When she heard the word "Madam", a hint of surprise appeared on her face. She then pushed Jing Yuchen in a scolding tone: "So you recognized me a long time ago!"
"It wasn't earlier, but when you spoke. Even though your voice was deliberately a little coquettish, it wasn't unfamiliar to me."
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen, then questioned, "Shouldn't you explain why you chose this woman here?"
Jing Yuchen sighed, his expression particularly helpless: "Isn't it because of the plague festival?"
"Dancing on the Plague Festival?" Ni Yueshan was surprised.
"Of course. How about singing the plague prescription? Who wants to listen?" Jing Yuchen asked back.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen strangely, but did not refute anything. She sighed helplessly, "You always have this old habit of never telling me anything in advance."
Jing Yuchen reminded him, "What's the point of telling you? It's just adding another person to worry about. I just want you to live a carefree life!"
Ni Yueshan, however, snorted as if she had heard a joke: "Men's mouths are deceitful. I need to go change my clothes."
Ni Yueshan took a step and tried to leave, but Jing Yuchen grabbed her arm and made her fall into his arms again.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen in astonishment. Jing Yuchen curled his lips and smiled: "Just leaving like that?"
"What else?" Ni Yueshan asked curiously.
"At least a kiss, right?"
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched, and then he rolled his eyes again, "You don't deserve it!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan walked away.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan's leaving figure and sighed. His expression was very helpless.
When Ni Yueshan changed back into her woman's attire and reappeared, the servant's eyes widened, he looked behind him nervously, and then he stammered, "Your Majesty..."
But before the servant could finish his words, Jing Yuchen had already turned around and saw Ni Yueshan. He smiled and said, "Madam, are we going to the Prime Minister's Residence for dinner, or back to the Prince's Residence?"
"The Prime Minister's residence!" Ni Yueshan responded calmly.
The servant was extremely surprised. Why didn't Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen have a big fight?

As time went by, Jing Yuchen organized the Plague Festival on a larger and larger scale.
However, this festival is currently only popular in the capital and has not been spread to other places. Jing Yuchen decided that when the festival is officially held, he would ask people from all places to send a few people to familiarize themselves with the steps of the festival.
During the morning court session, questions were also raised regarding the Plague Festival. Jing Yuchen replied with immense pride, "I believe it will be demonstrated to all civil and military officials very soon, perhaps in two or three months! If there are any shortcomings or inappropriate areas, please point them out. By next year's Plague Festival, we can spread the word among the people and gain their love!"
Jing Yuchen's words sounded very nice, but few people present really cared.
After the court was dismissed, Miao Qinghua kept Zou Yangyao.
Zou Yangyao found out and arranged a meeting between him and Xiao Chuer.
"Get up, General Zou."
Zou Yangyao stood up from the ground. Miao Qinghua asked, "Have you recovered from your injuries during this time?"
Zou Yangyao responded respectfully: "Yes, it has recovered!"
Miao Qinghua showed a satisfied expression: "General Zou, when you were a general, you were also very successful in battle and your reputation was well-known. But later, your luck ran out and you ended up in a downward spiral."
"But now is not the time for me to promote you. You should endure the humiliation in the army for a while. When the day comes to assassinate the Regent, you will be of great use in the army!"
Zou Yangyao responded with great respect: "The Queen Mother, please give me your orders. No matter what they are, I will do my utmost to fulfill them until my death!"
In the capital, everything seemed peaceful. The people were living their lives as usual, and the ministers were attending the morning court as usual.
It was not until two months later that Jing Yuchen announced at the morning court that all arrangements for the Plague Festival had been completed and could be held for everyone in the city to see.
Miao Qing’s painting was naturally accurate.
During this period, many ministers passed by an open space in the city and could see the high platform. They had long been curious about how Jing Yuchen had arranged it. Now that it was announced that everything was ready, the ministers were even more eager to see.
After the court was dismissed, Jing Yuchen walked out of the palace and Ni Gaofei hurriedly followed.
"Lord Regent, I have been feeling very strange for the past two months. What on earth do you want to do?"
Jing Yuchen just responded calmly: "Nothing."
Jing Yuchen still didn't want to reveal a single word...
