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

Next, Xie Shang took the initiative to summon the young lady from the East Palace to sleep with him. The second person favored by him was Zhu Zhenzhen, who seemed to be noncompetitive.

Then came Tang Qianran. No matter who Tang Qianran had been involved with, he still summoned her to sleep with him as if she were a tool for reproduction. After all, Tang Qianran was the daughter of the Minister of Justice.

Xie Shang also wanted to work hard for the royal heir, so he did not ask anyone to give the ladies contraceptives afterwards. He thought that if the ladies could get pregnant with the royal heir, the queen would have nothing to say and would not cause trouble for Jiang Fenghua.

At the same time, he was also better able to weigh the pros and cons of the court. After all, if the women who entered the palace were to be pregnant, they would feel more secure and their families would be able to properly support the imperial power.

It was a matter of once and for all, and Xie Shang handled it with great ease.

Over the next month, all the ladies in the Eastern Palace were slept with by Xie Shang, and from then on Empress Cheng had no reason to bother Jiang Fenghua.

It is already August. Although it is the end of summer, the sun above our heads is still very scorching.

Jiang Fenghua only found out after receiving the news that Jiang Zhiqin had also signed up for the martial arts examination and entered the final competition. Even Lin Yu and Tan Wanqing had signed up, but they were eliminated with one round left before the final competition.

The prince held this examination not just to elect a few people, but to create an elite army. The election of the martial arts champion in the final competition is only the last step of the competition, so even those who did not enter the final competition were registered in the book to prepare for the future, as the court will definitely need them after the martial arts examination.

Xie Shang originally asked Jiang Fenghua to go to the West Suburb Camp to watch the competition, but the last time she left the palace, the Queen used this as an excuse to raise her child, so she did not go. There was no point in going. As for Jiang Zhiqin's participation in the martial arts examination, Jiang Fenghua did not interfere.

Today was the day when all the ladies gathered in Chenxi Palace to pay their respects to the Crown Princess. Everyone was in high spirits, and their complexions looked much better after being nourished by love.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess." Everyone said in unison.

Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice, "No need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, Princess." Everyone sat down again.

Now no one dares to act unruly in front of the Crown Princess. They all know very well how much the Crown Prince likes her.

After the crown prince favored them, he would not allow them to stay overnight in Chengguang Palace. However, he also never allowed the crown princess to sleep in Chengguang Palace. It was always the crown prince who took the initiative to go to Chenxi Palace.

The ladies were favored, and imperial physicians would come to see them every once in a while, and they were even given a constant supply of tonic medicines to drink.

The maids in the palace were diligent and proactive in recording their menstrual periods, and naturally no one dared to neglect it when it came to the royal heir.

Xie Shang had few opportunities to be in the palace this month. He was so busy with the martial arts examination that he had no time to take care of the palace.

After Jiang Fenghua exchanged greetings with a few people, he continued, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. We have all been in the palace for several months. The ladies' lives in the palace are boring, so I have asked the Queen Mother and asked the ladies of the East Palace to perform for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder if you are interested."

Song Fengyi, who was lively and active, said quickly, "I heard that the other six palaces were preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Everyone was busy. I was wondering if our East Palace should also put on a show to liven up the atmosphere. I didn't expect that the Crown Princess had already thought of it."

Jiang Fenghua smiled, "I haven't decided what program to put on yet, you guys can help me think about it. The prince told me last time that the ladies rarely have entertainment in the palace, so let's make everyone more lively. Think about it."

Tang Liangdi said, "I lack skills. In order not to embarrass our Eastern Palace, why don't we organize a group show." She wanted to act like Mr. Nan Guo and become familiar to the public.

No one agreed with her suggestion, saying that no one wanted to do a group show with her.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhenzhen clenched her handkerchief tightly, but her face remained expressionless. She waited for everyone to finish speaking before expressing her agreement. In fact, she also wanted to go on stage and show off, if for nothing else, just to attract the prince.

I heard that when the Crown Princess was still the Princess of Heng, the Crown Prince asked her to go on stage and dance. But at that time she was dancing as a companion to the Queen, who was the protagonist. However, the Crown Princess' dancing skills were also praised. Presumably, the Crown Princess had danced for the Crown Prince many times in private, so the Crown Prince dared to let her go on stage.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at several people to see what they were thinking. She knew very well that although the prince favored them, it was more like completing the task of being the crown prince, and he had no chance to cultivate feelings with them. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was a very important festival and it was also a chance for them to see the prince. They all wanted to do their best to win the prince's favor.

She said, "Forget about the group performance. You can all go back and think about what you want to perform, and then report it to Aunt Wang. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Wang."

Several people said in unison, "Yes."

After they left, Lu Xuefei just arrived at the gate of Chenxi Palace and greeted the three young ladies. She also greeted them, "This servant greets all the young ladies."

Although she was once a young lady, she became a slave. When she entered the palace, she lived in Chengguang Palace, and later in Chenxi Palace. It was said that the Crown Princess did not treat her as a palace maid. She was nominally a slave in Chenxi Palace, but actually like a guest, and could often enter the Crown Princess' study.

I really don’t know what ability Lu Xuefei has to win the favor of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

Zhu Zhenzhen and Song Jing stepped aside calmly.

Tang Qianran had a grudge against her and was beaten badly by her, but the Crown Princess only gave her twenty strokes of the stick and let her go, without punishing her for treason. Naturally, she did not give Lu Xuefei a good look.

So, when Tang Qianran passed by Lu Xuefei, she bumped into her hard, knocking her to the ground. She then exclaimed, "Ah, who is this! Why is she lying on the ground? It turns out to be Lu Gongnu!"

Lu Xuefei stood up from the ground, patted her skirt, and walked away without any further ado.

Tang Qianran stopped her again and said directly, "A good dog doesn't block the road."

Lu Xuefei clenched her fists and wanted to punch her. She had finally managed to stay in the Crown Princess' Palace. If she were to be beaten again, the punishment would be a small matter. If she was kicked out of the palace, all her efforts would be wasted. She had finally found someone who shared the same interests as her.

It's not worth it for a woman like Tang Qianran.

Tang Qianran is trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Her father became successful after being promoted, but the ugliness of human nature is exposed just by being promoted. Fortunately, her elder brother did not marry her, and fortunately, the Lu family no longer has any involvement with the Tang family. How could a woman with such character be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Ugh!

I really feel sorry for the prince.

An idea suddenly came to Lu Xuefei's mind, and she leaned close to Tang Qianran's ear and whispered, "I saw you kissing my brother before. If I tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this, you'll probably be banished to the cold palace." Of course, she didn't dare to really tell the Crown Prince. If her brother dared to kiss the Crown Prince's woman, he would be in trouble. So she only spoke in a voice that the two of them could hear.

When Tang Qianran heard this, she screamed in shock and quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't do that."

"Just treat it as my nonsense, as long as the prince believes it." Lu Xuefei's voice gradually became louder, "Alas, a good dog does not block the road."

Tang Qianran immediately made way, proving that she was a good dog.
