Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

The news that the prince would accompany the princess to her parents' home spread throughout the palace, and Butler Cheng hurriedly selected some gifts from the warehouse.

Xie Shang took a look and asked Cheng Zhong, "Are these to be sent to the Jiang residence?"

Cheng Zhong said, "Your Majesty, yes."

Xie Shang frowned and asked, "Is it important to return home? Should it be done in a grand manner?"

"Returning to the parents' home is the last ceremony of a wedding. It is very important, especially for the bride's family. It is difficult to explain how important it is in a few words. Anyway, the son-in-law accompanies his newlywed wife and carries gifts to visit his parents-in-law. This is etiquette. Whether the return ceremony is well done can reflect whether the girl has married well and whether she is valued by the son-in-law. Ordinary people take it very seriously, and rich people care more about dignity. However, the prince has a noble status, so he does not need to pay respect to a young tutor. It is a blessing for their family that the prince can go..." Butler Cheng talked incessantly.

Xie Shang pondered for a moment, then glanced at the return gift prepared by Butler Cheng, and said, "Go to the storehouse and get some more things."

Cheng Zhong had originally just picked up a few items at random as a formality, and it would be fine to take some more according to the princess's specifications.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Shang said, "Butler Cheng, have someone ask the princess's family who they are and what their interests and hobbies are, and then choose a gift for each of them according to their preferences!"

When Butler Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Give each person another one?"

"I can't afford it?" Although Prince Heng's palace was not valued by the emperor, Prince Heng himself had private property after all.

Butler Cheng shook his head. "I can afford it. I can afford it. I'll do it right away."

Xie Shang slept in Jiang Fenghua's bedroom for two consecutive nights. Butler Cheng thought that he liked the princess very much and only chose good gifts.

The Jiang Mansion is located on Yangliu Street in the north of the city. Jiang Huai serves as a junior tutor in the Imperial College and is one of the many junior tutors in the Imperial College. Because of his good teaching methods, outstanding moral character, and long tenure, he has been commended as an outstanding junior tutor many times and is very respected.

However, he missed many opportunities for promotion because he did not fight for it. He stayed in the Imperial College to teach the princes and princesses as well as the sons of court officials. It was a blessing that the Jiang family could not get even if they burned incense for eight lifetimes for such a family to be chosen as the Princess of Heng by the Queen. Everyone agreed that the Jiang family was lucky to be able to become a royal relative and become a royal relative.

Because Princess Heng is returning home today, Master Jiang was given a day off. Mother Jiang couldn't sleep since the early hours of last night and started busying herself in the kitchen. The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Rumeng, and her brother-in-law, Jin Ji, also arrived at the Jiang residence early in the morning.

The whole family of the Jiang Mansion was afraid of neglecting His Royal Highness Prince Heng, so they all dressed up and changed into new clothes, looking forward to it, until the servant of the Jiang Mansion came running in hastily, "Here they are, here they are, the motorcade of Prince Heng's Mansion has arrived at the entrance of the alley, three carriages in total..."

Master Jiang went to the gate with his wife and children to greet them. Only then did they see from afar the motorcade of Prince Heng's Palace approaching slowly, looking very imposing.

The carriage stopped in front of the Jiang residence. Steward Cheng stepped forward and bowed to greet them, then ordered the palace guards to unload the return gifts.

Next to another luxurious carriage, Xie Shang got off first, and Jiang Fenghua slowly came out with the help of a maid.

Madam Jiang looked at her handsome son-in-law and smiled from ear to ear. She was stunned for a moment. Master Jiang quickly pulled his wife and motioned for everyone in the Jiang family to follow him in paying respects. "Your subordinate, I pay my respects to Prince Heng and Princess Heng."

Seeing her parents bowing to her, Jiang Fenghua's eyes turned slightly red. She knew that this was the royal etiquette, so she let them do as they pleased.

Xie Shang saw that she was about to cry again, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang...father-in-law and mother-in-law, please stop being polite."

Everyone in the Jiang family stood up. The next second, Xie Shang suddenly took Jiang Fenghua from the maid, held her sideways, and explained, "The princess sprained her ankle when she entered the palace yesterday. She is not able to move around easily. I will carry her in."

Jiang Fenghua thought that he would carry her out of the car, but she never thought that he would call her parents father-in-law and mother-in-law. She was stunned for a moment. After all, in the previous life, he was too lazy to even see them. The Jiang family was glorious for a while because of her, but was despised by the world all their lives. Everyone in the Jiang family suffered for this, all because the person she married didn't like her.

Xie Shang then said to Jiang Huai, "Father-in-law, is there a place for us to rest? The princess's feet are a little inconvenient."

"Go sit in the main hall." Jiang Huai glanced at his daughter's legs, full of worry, but he did not go forward to check.

"Father, don't worry. The prince is making a fuss out of nothing. My daughter is actually fine now." Jiang Fenghua said with a smile.

Jiang Huai glared at his daughter, his eyes full of heartache, "Dinner will be served soon, Ruan Ruan stay with the prince first... I'll go see your mother and your second sister." He originally wanted to take her for a walk, but seeing that her feet were not convenient, he didn't say much.

Xie Shang nodded, and they walked to the main hall. After Xie Shang put her on a chair, she said softly, "Thank you."

Xie Shang raised his eyebrows at her, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is finally decent enough, right?"

Jiang Fenghua's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly, as if she had a very harmonious relationship with the King Heng and his wife. Her pretty face was shy, and she whispered in his ear again, "Well, thank you, thank you so much."

They had only known each other for three days, but Xie Shang had heard her say thank you so many times. Was she satisfied with this?

At this time, Jiang Zhiqin, the fourth young master of the Jiang family, walked towards them with a smile, "Zhiqin greets the prince and his brother-in-law, and how is the third sister."

Then, he bowed to Xie Shang again, "Thank you for the gift from my third brother-in-law."

Xie Shang paused. The boy in front of him was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had the same features as Jiang Fenghua. His smiling face looked unrestrained and very beautiful. He felt a little embarrassed. "No need to thank me."

"The inkstone from Zixuanzhai may not be available even if you have money, so I will definitely treasure it." Jiang Zhiqin's eyes were full of brilliance and he loved it very much.

Xie Shang was very happy to see that people liked the things he prepared.

Jiang Rumeng also came over personally and invited them to the side hall for dinner. She expressed her gratitude to King Heng and affectionately called him "brother-in-law."

The gift she received was a set of valuable jewelry produced by Cuiyuxuan. Jiang Rumeng's appearance was also top-notch. Both sisters inherited the beauty of their mother Feng Jingyuan. Jiang Rumeng is now 24 years old and is the mother of two children. Her figure has not changed at all and she looks even more charming.

Xie Shang not only prepared jewelry for Jiang Rumeng, but also prepared toys for her two children. They were the latest models on the market, and naturally they were also bought by Butler Cheng who sent someone to buy them on the spur of the moment.

Jiang Rumeng's husband Jin Ji is a businessman. Xie Shang gave him a golden abacus. The Jin family is not short of money, but the gift from the prince has extraordinary significance, so he naturally can't let it go.

Seeing her daughter marry so well and being loved so much by her husband, Jiang's mother cried with joy.

Jiang Fenghua hugged her mother and comforted her, "My daughter is fine, why are you crying again?"

"Mom is really happy." Jiang's mother couldn't stop crying, "Ruan Ruan married the man of her dreams, mom is happy."

Jiang Rumeng was really happy for her sister and whispered, "I originally thought that my third sister would have to live a life of dependence after marrying into the Hengwang Mansion. Now it seems that His Royal Highness the Hengwang is not only handsome, but also considerate. Mother was right. My third sister really married a perfect husband."

Jiang Fenghua lowered her head to drink soup, pretending to be shy, thinking to herself: They don't know that in the previous life, not only did she not return the gift, but Xie Shang didn't even look at her. Prince Heng personally welcomed Concubine Su into the house in a bright red wedding dress. She was invited to drink the mistress' tea. Everyone pointed fingers at her and humiliated her. She became the biggest joke in the entire Shengjing City. Her heart bleeds when she sees them being so affectionate.

The banquet was divided into two tables, one for men and one for women, separated by a four-season screen embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Xie Shang happened to sit with his back to Jiang Fenghua. He saw Jiang's mother crying and thought to himself, "Jiang Fenghua's crying habit may be inherited from her mother. Her mother also looks gentle and kind."

Jiang Huai was also very happy. After drinking a little, he began to talk about his principles of life on the table. "Your Majesty is now the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. This position is very important and is closely related to the lives of the people..."

"Oh, Jiang Huai, how much horse urine have you drunk? You start preaching again. My son-in-law is a prince. Shouldn't he understand these principles better than you? Can't you let people eat properly?" Feng Jingyuan's delicate voice suddenly came from the other side of the screen.

Jiang Huai was yelled at, and he shut up instantly. He raised his glass to thank the wine and said, "I toast to Your Majesty."

Xie Shang was shocked and a little amused. He didn't expect that Master Jiang was a henpecked husband at home, and he didn't expect that Jiang Fenghua's mother's mood would change so drastically. He raised his wine glass and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Zhiqin didn't drink. In order to break the awkwardness, he quickly changed the subject, "My Lord, brother-in-law, don't just drink. Eat more vegetables. These dishes are all made by mother herself. They are all her specialties."

Jin Ji also said, "My mother-in-law's cooking skills are excellent." His voice was full of flattery.

Jiang Huai didn't dare to say a word even when he was yelled at. He just ate quietly. His appearance was very different from his majesty and prestige in the school.

The Jiang family was having a great time, but Xie Shang actually felt a little sad. Looking at the mountain of delicacies in the bowl in front of him, he didn't dislike them and started eating with big mouthfuls.

These were all picked up for him by Jin Ji using the serving chopsticks. Jin Ji felt flattered upon seeing this. Not only did he eat at the same table and drink from the same pot with His Royal Highness Prince Heng, he also ate the dishes he picked up for him. The most honorable thing was that His Royal Highness Prince Heng was his brother-in-law.

Xie Shang had never felt so relaxed before. He was so happy that he drank more wine.

As for the Su Mansion, Xie Shang immediately sent his confidant to deliver the message, saying that he would marry her on another auspicious day. Jiang Fenghua also promised that their wedding would be grand and that Su Tingwan would never suffer any grievances.

He felt that Jiang Fenghua was very magnanimous for being able to do this, so he gave in. Wanwan was a broad-minded woman and would definitely understand.
