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

Who among the crowd dared to gossip about the Prince's Palace? Would they go up and ask who the man and woman who had come to the palace to worship at the land temple were? Even if it was Prince Heng, the princess was here, calm and composed, with a dignified manner. Who would dare to go up and question them? Everyone was silent again.

Jiang Fenghua waited for a while, and seeing no one answering, he continued, "Butler Cheng, please prepare your writing materials and paper. Please register all the details of the petition, including name, residence, address, and number of people in the family."

She was using the imperial power to intimidate others. She recorded it in such detail. If anyone cursed or talked nonsense, what would happen if they were held accountable later? No one was stupid.

Butler Cheng was very professional and immediately brought in a few tables and prepared writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Fenghua pointed with her jade hand to an empty space outside the huge Prince Heng's Mansion and said, "Put the cases there. It will take a while for so many people to finish the work."

Butler Cheng seemed to know the princess's intention, "This way, the entrance and exit of the palace can't be blocked. The princess is really thoughtful."

Jiang Fenghua moved lightly and stood still. "You must have heard that my prince has appointed the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture and came to find out whether it is true or not. Or if you have a case to present, you can all make your case now or prepare a petition. My prince will never be partial to anyone when appointing someone to an important position and will handle the matter impartially."

She found an excuse for everyone to gather in front of the palace, gave them a slap in the face and then gave them a sweet treat.

Everyone didn't want to eat the gossip about the royal family, so they started to leave. "It turns out that the current Jingzhao prefect is His Royal Highness Prince Heng."

"The Princess Heng in front of me is so beautiful, she is beyond description, the most beautiful woman in the world..."

The implication is: He has already forgotten what the woman in red who just entered Prince Heng’s mansion looked like.

If that person is really His Royal Highness Prince Heng, then His Royal Highness Prince Heng is really blind. He has such a beautiful and dignified princess in his mansion, but he doesn't want to have her and insists on going to the land temple to do something against etiquette with other women.

That person is definitely not His Royal Highness Prince Heng. Prince Heng is not a fool. Any man would know how to choose.

Once everyone's doubts were somewhat dispelled and there were no more cases to appeal, they naturally dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Jiang Fenghua said to the housekeeper, "Don't remove the cases yet. The prince will be taking up his post in Jingzhao Prefecture soon. Perhaps this can be used to build momentum for the prince."

Butler Cheng's eyes lit up, and he admired this young and beautiful princess even more. She hadn't said anything just now, but it seemed as if she had said everything. The words "my prince" showed the prestige of the mistress of the palace. The princess was not just a beautiful woman, she also knew how to plan for the prince.

Xie Shang saw everything Jiang Fenghua did just now.

He had to admit that her way of handling the matter was a bit of a coercion by force, and it might not be the best solution at the moment, but it was the most appropriate one right now, and her identity as a princess seemed more convincing.

Jiang Fenghua returned to the main hall and looked at Xie Shang with some apology in his eyes. He said softly, "I'm afraid that the wedding of the prince and Miss Su can't be held in a grand manner. The prince is about to take office as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, so this matter should be handled coldly. If the prince was a young master of an ordinary family, it would be fine for the prince and Miss Su to get married outside the city, but the prince's status is different, and he still has to observe the etiquette. This matter is very disadvantageous to the prince, and even more disadvantageous to the Heng Palace."

Butler Cheng quickly explained for Jiang Fenghua, "Originally, the princess had ordered me to prepare the guest list, as well as the betrothal gifts for the prince to marry the concubine. She even ordered me to go to Mingyifang to order the best wedding dress and phoenix crown for the concubine... But after what happened today, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the concubine to show up at this juncture. If we insist on holding the wedding, I'm afraid we'll have to postpone it again."

Butler Cheng had already received instructions from Xie Shang, so he naturally listened to his master and did whatever his master said.

Before Xie Shang could say anything, Su Tingwan suddenly stood in front of them and said, "It doesn't matter. Ah Shang and I are already husband and wife anyway."

This means that even the etiquette of entering the mansion can be skipped, let alone offering tea to the mistress.

She said to Jiang Fenghua generously, "I should thank you for thinking so much about us, and I am really sorry. If it weren't for the emperor's marriage, Miss Jiang wouldn't have to marry someone she doesn't like."

Jiang Fenghua looked calm and his eyes were clear. He was not jealous at all. He even looked at Xie Shang with a look that seemed to be without any affection. He said in a gentle voice, "As long as you are all well, that's all. In this case, Butler Cheng will arrange for Su... Concubine to move in!"

She had drunk the Madam Tea in her previous life, so it didn’t matter whether she drank it in this life or not, because she found that tea hard to swallow anyway.

Without blinking, she asked Xie Shang, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xie Shang felt like he was being roasted on the fire. He had promised Wanwan that he would marry her in a grand ceremony, but it was also because of his impulse that he secretly got married with Wanwan in the land temple.

On the other hand, Jiang Fenghua was preparing to hold a wedding for them at home.

Looking at Jiang Fenghua, he only felt guilty. It was really unfair to her to drag Jiang Fenghua into his and Wanwan's affairs.

That's all it can do now.

Concubine Su had been watching the situation quietly. She was shocked by Jiang Fenghua's performance just now. She didn't expect that Jiang Fenghua could resolve the situation so easily.

If she really doesn't fight or compete, Wanwan still has a chance.

If she... Wanwan's position in Prince Heng's Mansion would be in jeopardy.

Concubine Su remembered Jiang Fenghua and had already identified her as her number one rival.

After settling the matter outside the palace, Xie Shang felt relaxed all over and said to Concubine Su, "I wonder what order my father has given."

"The Emperor has graciously granted permission for Wanwan to marry the prince as a concubine and has ordered me to attend the ceremony. However, if we hold a grand wedding now... Princess Heng has thought it through carefully. It is indeed not appropriate to hold a grand wedding under the current circumstances." She hated Jiang Fenghua to death in her heart, but she had to follow her words and greet her with a smile.

Su Tingwan was also dumbfounded. "The emperor has issued an order, how could this happen?" If I had known, I would not have run out of the city. Now I am in disgrace and being pointed at by others.

Xie Shang frowned. His father's attitude was so tough yesterday. He clenched his fingers and felt extremely annoyed.

"The Queen's decree has arrived."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was Cao, the chief steward beside the emperor, but the empress's decree was delivered by the emperor's people. The meaning was self-evident. The emperor already knew what was going on outside the palace, and among them were two maids from the palace.

Xie Shang led everyone to kneel down to receive the decree. Chief Steward Cao said loudly, "Concubine Su's manners are not good, and her words and deeds are inappropriate. I have specially ordered two teaching maids to assist Maid Wang in staying in Prince Heng's mansion to teach Concubine Su etiquette. This palace will check on her regularly."

Su Tingwan knew that the Queen didn't like her, and she glanced at Concubine Su. When Concubine Su saw that the person who came was Butler Cao, her heart couldn't stop trembling, and she had no time to care about her.

"Concubine Su has not yet accepted the order."

Cao's voice was shrill, and she was frightened. "I...I will accept your order."

Manager Cao shook his head and said, "Since you are the prince's concubine, you must call yourself a concubine. It seems that Nanny Wang, Manager Li, and Manager Zhang will have to worry more!"

Several people nodded in agreement.

Chief Steward Cao said loudly again, "According to the Emperor's order, Concubine Su is to return to the palace immediately."

Concubine Su said respectfully, "I obey your command." Wanwan really should learn some rules, otherwise with her carefree personality she would not be suitable for survival in Shengjing City.

Then Concubine Su walked away without looking back. Originally, she was Su Tingwan's aunt, so she should have come to drink a glass of wedding wine, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

The emperor gave Su Tingwan to Prince Heng as a concubine, and then came to discipline her. This shows that the matter of the land temple in Shili Pavilion outside the city has been known to the emperor and empress.

Jiang Fenghua had no idea who had spread the news to the palace because she had not done anything like it.

After all, she is the Princess of Heng, and she should protect the face of the Prince of Heng from beginning to end. Protecting Xie Shang's face is to protect her own face, and she is very clear about this.
