Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne
Chapter 16: A World of Difference
In Prince Heng's mansion, Jiang Fenghua went back to clean up, changed her dirty dress, and put on a more dignified and luxurious one. Not long after, Concubine Su came to visit.
As a concubine in the harem, Concubine Su was able to enter and leave the palace freely, which showed that the emperor favored her very much.
However, Imperial Concubine Su still knew etiquette and propriety. Even if she left the palace, she would not run around, and would not show up in front of any men outside. She always wore a veil on her face, followed by female officials and protected by soldiers, and entered Prince Heng's palace in a grand manner.
Jiang Fenghua bowed to Concubine Su without being servile or overbearing, "Your Highness, I am sorry that you have come to greet me from afar."
Concubine Su had gorgeous makeup and was full of charm. Her waist was as slender as a willow, and she exuded the charm of a mature woman from the inside out. She was dressed in a noble and dignified manner. Seeing such a dignified and beautiful Princess Heng, her heart skipped a beat, and then she sat down on the main seat.
Jiang Fenghua didn't care and found a seat close to him and sat down, "Hongxiu, serve tea to the imperial concubine."
Although Su Qingqing was a noble concubine, she couldn't put on airs in front of Jiang Fenghua. After all, the queen was her real mother-in-law. She said, "I came here today with the order of His Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua put down the tea bowl slowly, stood up to show respect, and said politely, "What order has the emperor issued? The prince is not at home at the moment. I will send someone to find him and bring him back home immediately..."
Concubine Su naturally knew what Prince Heng was doing. She came here for this matter, which concerned her daughter of the Su family. She said, "I'm not in a hurry to find the prince..."
At this time, the guards rushed in and said, "Princess, the prince is back."
Jiang Fenghua stood steadily with a faint smile on the corner of her lips. Her face was gentle and her demeanor was calm, as if she was listening to the teachings of an elder.
Xie Shang walked into the hall and saw Concubine Su sitting in the main seat. He glanced at Jiang Fenghua and sat down in the main seat majestically. Hongxiu hurriedly brought Prince Heng a bowl of hot tea that was neither hot nor lukewarm.
Xie Shang took it and drank the full bowl of tea in one breath, as if he was very thirsty. The sound of the tea bowl being placed on the tea table made a crisp "thump" that seemed to fall into the hearts of everyone present.
No one dared to speak and looked at him. What happened?
At this time, Su Tingwan walked in with a bad look on her face, "Ah Shang, what's wrong with you? The mouth is on someone else's body, and I don't care, let them say whatever they want..."
When Concubine Su saw her in a bright red wedding dress, she was so happy that her pupils widened, and she seemed to have lost her dignity. "Wanwan, why are you wearing a red wedding dress..."
"Aunt, why are you here? Has the emperor allowed you to leave the palace?" Su Tingwan walked up to Concubine Su and did not bow. Instead, she took Concubine Su's arm and smiled sweetly, "Aunt, I'm married. I'm married to A Shang."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Su was struck by lightning, and her beautiful face began to crack. "Your Majesty's edict has not arrived yet, what nonsense are you talking about?" Without the emperor's permission, a concubine could not wear a bright red wedding dress.
"If you don't believe me, ask A Shang..." She didn't look at Jiang Fenghua. The woman she caught a glimpse of from the corner of her eye was just extraordinarily beautiful. She felt even more bothered in her heart, but her face was full of happiness.
Xie Shang is a prince, so he has no reason to pay respect to Concubine Su. At most, she is Su Tingwan's elder and the emperor's concubine. Even if she and the queen don't get along, he still has to give her the courtesy she deserves.
"I wonder why the Queen left the palace?" he said indifferently.
The emperor granted Wanwan a gift and allowed her to enter Prince Heng's palace as a concubine, but she had already married Prince Heng. At this time, Concubine Su didn't know how to ask.
Jiang Fenghua also stared at Concubine Su with expectant eyes, and said dignifiedly and gently, "Just now, the queen was talking to me about this matter, and the prince came back. The queen said that he came with the emperor's order. I wonder what the emperor's order is?"
Xie Shang frowned and was about to receive the imperial edict. He also stood up respectfully and bowed, "What is the edict of the emperor, father?"
Concubine Su's face became more and more embarrassed. Butler Cheng came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, there are many people gathered outside the gate."
Xie Shang was so upset that he knew why without asking. When he arrived at the palace, he found out that the whole city was talking about a wedding in the land temple outside the city. The rumors were very ugly, such as a rich man keeping a mistress and a girl next door eloping with a man...
When they entered the city, they wanted to watch the fun and also wanted to know the truth.
Butler Cheng was at his wit's end. He couldn't drive these people away no matter what he did, so he told them the situation outside in detail.
Jiang Fenghua opened his eyes wide after hearing this and said softly, "So the prince and Miss Su got married in the land temple." Then he fell silent.
Xie Shang suddenly said, "Cheng Zhong, go and take care of it."
Cheng Zhong was also in a dilemma. How should he deal with this? The prince had just married his princess the day before yesterday, and today he brought a woman in a bright red wedding dress home. They also secretly got married in the land temple. If this matter became a big deal, Prince Heng would lose all his face. What would happen if the emperor heard about it?
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Su Tingwan was about to say something, but was pulled back by Concubine Su, who signaled her not to talk nonsense, saying that it was against etiquette and that Wanwan was the one who was wrong.
In Concubine Su's eyes, there was a world of difference between Su Tingwan and Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, why don't I go? With my status as a concubine, I should be able to convince everyone to leave."
Cheng Zhong felt relieved and quickly agreed, "The princess is the mistress of the palace. It is natural for the princess to make the decision on such a small matter as the prince taking a concubine. People outside are also confused and don't know the truth, so they say nonsense. Now it is more prestigious for the mistress to come forward to explain."
Xie Shang stared at her with his eyes slightly narrowed. She was dressed appropriately, with a steady demeanor, and every move she made showed her nobility. Her face was stunningly beautiful yet dignified and generous. He immediately pictured in his mind the demeanor that Princess Heng should have. He thought that this was probably what Jiang Fenghua looked like.
His anger subsided a little and his tone became gentler, "Can you give them a reasonable explanation? Do you know what happened?" Su Tingwan took him to the land temple to get married and they were seen by others. The matter was even spread. If it was not handled properly, it would be a serious matter.
Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear, and she said in a gentle voice, "The prince and Miss Su love each other, so anything they do is justifiable. I think I know what to do."
She put her hand on Hongxiu's arm, turned around, straightened her back and walked out of the house.
Xie Shang's gaze suddenly fell on her injured foot. She walked slowly, her steps lightly, gracefully and swayingly, and her whole body exuded a dignified and noble temperament.
Jiang Fenghua just stood at the main entrance of the palace. She had a beautiful and dignified face, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and her cold eyes carried a sense of intimidation. There was a faint light in her eyes, and the air instantly condensed and frosted, and the noisy sounds outside the door stopped abruptly.
Jiang Fenghua frowned and spoke slowly, "Today... why did you all gather at Prince Heng's Mansion? Or do you have any grievances to report?"
