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

The next day, Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua returned to the palace. When Aoxue saw them, she knelt on the ground and apologized, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, the young master and the young princess were taken to Kunning Palace by the Queen, and I did not stop them."

Jiang Fenghua tightly grasped Xie Shang's hand, very anxiously, "Why would the Queen Mother take them to Kunning Palace? When did she take them away? Why didn't anyone come to inform us?"

Aoxue said, "Last night, the palace was under curfew, and I couldn't go out. The Western Suburbs Camp was not in the city, so I didn't inform the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. The Queen came to pick you up personally, and we servants had no choice. Fortunately, Nanny Wang and the wet nurse went to Kunning Palace, and Yeying also went to guard outside Kunning Palace."

Xie Shang's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river) character. He wondered why his mother suddenly came to take the child away. He had no interest in raising a child.

Xie Shang was ready to take Jiang Fenghua directly to Kunning Palace, but Jiang Fenghua calmed down and said, "My queen mother took the children there. She might just miss them. We just entered the palace and our appearance is not in good shape. Let's change into proper clothes before going to Kunning Palace to pay our respects to my queen mother." She would not give Queen Cheng the opportunity to find fault with her.

Xie Shang said, "That's fine." This would prevent the Queen Mother from having anything to say when she saw them dressed like this.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Fenghua re-dressed herself and did her makeup. Only after she looked decent did she follow Xie Shang to Kunning Palace.

At this time, Queen Cheng was playing with her two children in her bedroom. She couldn't let go of her two grandchildren.

She said to Nanny Wang, "Such adorable children, I want to raise them. Watching them grow up little by little, they are so adorable. My heart is melted by their cuteness."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome, so naturally his children will be the best-looking." Nanny Wang was really afraid that the Queen would suddenly say she wanted to raise a child. What she feared was bound to come true.

"Yes, Shang'er is so beautiful, she should have more children to make the family more lively. Jiang Fenghua was born as the Crown Princess but she didn't think about the royal heir. How could there be more royal heirs if she didn't arrange for the young lady to sleep with her."

"Yes, yes..." Nanny Wang responded quickly.

Empress Cheng smiled, hugged Xie Hongyou and kissed him twice, "I am your grandmother, I will teach you from now on, okay?"

Xie Hongyou might be feeling uncomfortable, he was whimpering with his lips pursed and about to cry.

Seeing this, the Queen asked, "What's wrong with him? Is he going to cry?"

Nanny Wang said, "Maybe it's time to change the diaper. Leave the little boy to me!"

Empress Cheng handed the child to Nanny Wang again, and went to hold the little princess, "Xian'er is more obedient than her brother..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished praising her, Xie Zixuan burst into tears. Suddenly, the queen became confused, "What's wrong with her? Is she going to have diarrhea?"

Finally, after the wet nurse checked, the two siblings had neither defecated nor urinated, and they did not cry when the wet nurse held them. It was the Queen Mother who would cry when she held them.

No one dared to say anything. Seeing this, Empress Cheng said, "They still despise this royal grandmother of mine!"

"The child doesn't understand anything." The nurse explained, "Don't be angry, Queen."

"How could I be angry with the children?" She added, "It must be because I don't take care of them often. From now on, I will let them stay with me, and then they will be close to me."

Nanny Wang was extremely anxious and didn't know what the Queen meant.

At this time, Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua came in one after the other. They both bowed and said, "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother. Your concubine pays respects to the Queen Mother."

Queen Cheng knew that the Crown Prince had taken the Crown Princess out of the palace yesterday. There were so many women in the Eastern Palace, all of them were beautiful, and she had to take care of all of them before she could have a baby!

Shang'er was so busy, but Jiang Fenghua still asked Shang'er to take her out of the palace to ride horses. She was too ignorant.

"Everyone, get up!" In front of her son, Empress Cheng couldn't help but smile, "I was just about to send someone to look for you. I want to discuss something with you."

The two of them didn't know what the queen meant, they only heard her say, "I usually have nothing to do, so I thought of taking my good grandchildren to Kunning Palace to raise them. My mother likes them very much."

"No." Xie Shang said directly, "The children are still too young. They can't leave Ruan Ruan and can't be left in the care of their mother."

"I saw that you didn't come back last night. It's fine for the child to be taken care of by the wet nurse. The Crown Princess doesn't usually take care of children either. Wouldn't it be the same to leave the child with me or with her?" Shang'er refused outright, not giving me the slightest bit of face. It must have been Jiang Fenghua who instigated her.

Jiang Fenghua clenched her fists calmly. With Xie Shang around, it was not her turn to speak. Her mind raced, thinking that Queen Cheng might be acting like this because of the concubine Ye Liang in the cold palace.

In her previous life, Queen Cheng became the empress dowager but she didn't feel pity for her, let alone take the child she gave birth to and raise it by her side, because she was of no value to Queen Cheng. It was obvious that she didn't care about the child at all.

She really deserves to be put on hold by the Emperor for twenty years.

Xie Shang knew that his mother was saying this just because Ruan Ruan did not return to the palace last night, so he still slowed down his tone, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you cannot keep them by your side."

"I am their grandmother, why can't I keep them by my side?" She said deliberately, "The Crown Prince has few children now, and the Crown Princess is still young. She can take care of herself and have a few more children. If the Crown Princess doesn't have the energy, let the young lady of the East Palace serve her. We must always add royal heirs to our royal family. A large and prosperous family is a blessing. Your father also means this."

Xie Shang also clenched his fingers and finally heard something else. The Queen Mother didn't like children at all. It was obvious that she was holding Jiang Fenghua's child to force him to have children with another woman. If this trivial matter was brought to the attention of his father, he and Jiang Fenghua would probably not escape punishment.

He said, "I understand."

Then, seeing that he had become much more docile, Empress Cheng finally calmed down and said sarcastically, "There was originally an heir in the palace, but he was banished to the cold palace. No matter how big her fault is, she should protect the heir first. Don't you understand this? The Crown Prince is busy, so the Crown Princess should find an excuse to bring him out!"

Xie Shang finally understood now that his mother didn't want to raise Ruan Ruan's child at all. She was clearly using her child to force him to release Ye Susu.

When did the Queen Mother start playing these little tricks? She wanted to release the people but threatened to use Jiang Fenghua's child.

Xie Shang felt as if someone was holding his throat, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He had been controlled by his mother since he was a child. He said in a deep voice, "Ye Susu and Su Tingwan got involved with each other, causing chaos in the Eastern Palace. They should live in the cold palace to be quiet. I have already made up my mind about this matter. The Crown Princess cannot release them without my permission."

"You..." Empress Cheng's face turned cold again when she heard this. "Prince, which is more important, the heir to the throne or Jiang Fenghua? Don't forget that Ye Susu is also your woman, and she is pregnant. The child in her belly is the heir to the throne."

"I didn't ask her not to have children. If mother wants to raise a child, when she gives birth to a child in the future, the child will be the heir to the throne, and mother can take the child to raise. I have no objection." Xie Shang said in a cold voice.
