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

"If Your Majesty wants to find your second sister-in-law, you can send someone to look for her. However, now that your father has given her an order, she is very busy. I'm afraid she doesn't have time to come to the palace to serve Your Majesty Concubine Yan. Your Majesty looks like she's in much better health!" Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice without any anger.

"No matter what, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants..." Concubine Yan had just finished speaking.

Soon after, the concubines in the palace came in one after another. They greeted Jiang Fenghua respectfully and said, "Greetings to Princess Heng."

She smiled and said, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen." It turned out that today was the day when concubines from all palaces paid their respects to the Queen.

From their clothes and appearance, it can be seen which concubine has been favored the most by the emperor recently. The more rosy their faces are, and they may even look smug.

Empress Yafei was undoubtedly the one who won the first place, and she still looked like the noble princess with a good figure and a beautiful face.

The rest were naturally concubines of lower rank, or those with longer seniority, such as Concubine Yan, who were countless in number, or had long been forgotten by the emperor.

At this time, Concubine Ya walked straight past the experienced Concubine Yan and headed towards Kunning Palace, which made Concubine Yan so angry that her eyes turned red and her nose exhaled hot air.

After Wang Zhaoyi was promoted to a higher position, she was rarely summoned by the emperor. It was indeed miserable for her to live alone in an empty room at such a young age and die of old age in the palace. However, no matter how low her position was, she still straightened her back in front of Concubine Yan and didn't even look at her.

All the concubines ignored her. Concubine Yan, an old woman living alone in the palace, was indeed the most miserable.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at Concubine Yan and thought to herself: I really don't know who gave Concubine Yan such an arrogant face. No one in the palace respects her, but she treats her own daughter-in-law as a non-human being. It's true that evildoers will be punished by God.

Jiang Fenghua didn't want to say any more to her and went straight into Kunning Palace.

The queen had already dressed up and was sitting upright in her original seat, and the concubines bowed and greeted her again.

After a few pleasantries, Queen Cheng said, "Ruan Ruan, come sit next to me."

Jiang Fenghua sat obediently beside Empress Cheng. She looked calm and quiet like a virgin, making people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. She was extraordinarily beautiful. Perhaps it was because she was a daughter-in-law, while the others were the emperor's concubines, so she had nothing to say to them.

This is the generation gap between people of two generations. There is no conflict of interest and everyone does not disturb each other.

Concubine Yan was the last one to come in, and she sat down in her seat. Although she was old and no longer favored by the Emperor, and the concubines in the palace did not respect her, her seat in front of Empress Cheng had always been in the front row, and no one could move her. This was the advantage of the palace's hierarchy.

Queen Cheng smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Yu was rewarded by the Emperor. I haven't congratulated Princess Yan yet. It's great to see that my daughter-in-law is so capable."

Concubine Yan smiled with a fake smile, "As a woman, her duty is to take care of her husband and children. It's not decent for her to show up in public all day long."

She would not be happy if her daughter-in-law's contribution was greater than her son's. Now she heard that Jiang Fenghua was also very famous in Shengjing City, and the queen did not care about it. She was born as the Princess of Hengwang and did not live in the Hengwang Mansion, but lived in the palace all day long. Luo Ziqiong was also her daughter-in-law, so why didn't she let her enter the palace to serve, but let her do what men do.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and naturally she didn't look happy to anyone. However, no matter how angry she was, she only dared to complain in her heart. If Luo Ziqiong didn't come, she had no one to vent her anger on, so she could only sulk, which looked quite funny.

Seeing her bad attitude, the queen also turned cold, "Concubine Yan is seriously ill and has gone insane. This is a task assigned by the emperor to the second princess. If you don't want the second princess to show up in public, you can go and tell the emperor."

How could Concubine Yan possibly see the Emperor? She hadn't seen the Emperor for many years. If the Emperor really came to her palace one day, she would be willing to die. Life in the palace was too hard. If she could go crazy like Su Qingqing and the Emperor could at least look at her, she would be willing to do that.

But she just keeps enduring this hardship, not knowing when it will end.

The key is that her son is not capable of competing for that position, otherwise she would...

Seeing that she was silent, the Queen did not drive her away and continued, "The New Year is coming soon. You all should think about how to celebrate this year. I still say the same thing, don't be extravagant. Now there is a war on the border again, we should be more frugal and set a good example for all women in the world. Remember, we are the emperor's women and we must take the lead. Each of your families should supervise it yourselves..."

Empress Cheng was chanting sutras again. They were tired of hearing these words, so they all answered respectfully like mechanical water, "Yes, your concubines will obey your Majesty's order."

Jiang Fenghua also felt that it was boring. It was not as interesting as when she spent the New Year in the Jiang Mansion. The family had a reunion dinner, and their parents would give their sisters some New Year's money. Then the family would guess lantern riddles, drink and chat. The Jiang family members were all good at drinking. They would drink and stay up all night, and there would be fireworks...

It's a beautiful place just thinking about it. It's nothing like the palace, which is so lifeless and cold.

The Queen also forbids the concubines in the palace to dress up extravagantly. They have to wear new clothes during the New Year. Doesn't the Queen know how to make new clothes for the people in the palace?

Similarly, no wonder no one likes the Queen.

But she is the mistress of the harem, and all these matters are decided by the queen. How can she, a junior, interfere?

After all the concubines left, Queen Cheng kept her back and took her hand, "Ruan Ruan, I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice: "Mother, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

"You and Shang'er have been married for almost a year, and you are pregnant. I think it would be tiring for you to take care of Shang'er alone. It would be better to arrange a few more people in the mansion to share some of the burden with you." Queen Cheng said slowly.

Jiang Fenghua remained calm and said, "It is entirely up to my mother to decide whether the prince should marry a few more concubines into the palace." She was just pretending to ask her, because Queen Cheng had already chosen who would enter the palace.

She was going to pick an obedient and sensible woman to place around Xie Shang, preferably one who could be the Queen's spy. However, she didn't know that Xie Shang hated such women the most, and also hated Queen Cheng's suffocating and suffocating maternal love.

After more than twenty years, Empress Cheng still couldn't change her habits.

"These things should have been handled by the princess herself, but you are in a heavy condition..."

"I do feel that my belly has been getting bigger recently, and it's becoming more and more difficult for me to walk." Jiang Fenghua didn't want to get involved and make Xie Shang dislike her.

"In that case, I will decide for you. You don't have to choose too many. Just pick five first. It depends on which type Shang'er likes. You can choose carefully when choosing a concubine." Empress Cheng thought long-term and spoke hastily. She added, "Shang'er only has you and Concubine Su. Concubine Su is not pregnant. For the sake of the royal heir, we will choose those with clean backgrounds..."

Empress Cheng kept nagging Jiang Fenghua, and finally selected a few people, "They are all daughters of officials in the court. Regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, they must be easy to give birth to."

Jiang Fenghua reminded, "I have no objection to the person chosen by your mother, but the prince is still just a prince after all. Your mother should not say anything about choosing a concubine or not." If a concubine is to be chosen, it should be for the emperor. Queen Cheng is crazy about becoming the empress dowager!

Empress Cheng felt that she had spoken too quickly, so she slapped herself in the face and said, "Just choose a few concubines to marry into the family."
