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

Here, Xie Shang met with Censor Zhu, who said, "I have obtained solid evidence to prove that Qin Tai, the prefect of Quanzhou, was corrupt and accepted bribes. He can be arrested today."

Xie Shang said, "Marquis Wu'an will assist, we are just waiting for the fish to fall into the net." He also wanted to use today's banquet to warn everyone.

Therefore, the royal family not only invited officials from Beijing to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this time, but also officials of the same level as Prefect Qin. Everything was in his plan.

Censor Zhu explained, "I didn't see Your Highness just now, so I wanted Zhenzhen to go find Your Highness..."

Before he could say anything, Xie Shang's expression was gentle and he said in a deep voice, "Zhenzhen suddenly had abdominal pain, and I was in a hurry to see Censor Zhu. I have asked someone to take care of her, so don't worry, sir!"

Censor Zhu already knew that the prince favored his daughter, which meant that her future depended on luck. Zhenzhen had high ambitions since she was young, and she would not marry unless she was the best of the best, and now her wish had finally come true.

"Please come in, Censor Zhu."

"Your Highness, please." Censor Zhu stepped back half a step and let the prince go first.

At the banquet hall, Jiang Fenghua was seen chatting happily with everyone. She had her own set of methods and rules for dealing with women in the court, and she was able to talk to everyone with ease.

At this time, Concubine Yan and Concubine Zhao were also seen arriving at the banquet hall surrounded by people, and everyone went to pay their respects.

Jiang Fenghua was sitting with several princesses and also looked in that direction.

There were several well-behaved and beautiful daughters of the Zhao family accompanying Concubine Zhao. Concubine Yan had a big smile on her face and had already looked around at the daughters of the Zhao family.

She was most satisfied with her legitimate daughter, but now she wanted to find a new princess for her son. Her legitimate daughter was unwilling to marry, so she had to settle for a concubine's daughter from the Zhao family.

She thought that once this was finalized, she would divorce Luo Ziqiong. A man could divorce her if she had no children for seven years, but there was no way she could get a divorce amicably.

Luo Ziqiong and Yu'er are cousins. It is said that cousins ​​are the best match. She asked someone to tell her fortune and found out that she had been suppressing Yu'er all these years, causing her son to have no legitimate son and also causing him to have trouble in his official career.

Concubine Yan likes the daughter of the Zhao family more and more. Concubine Zhao also intends to marry the concubine of the Zhao family to Prince Yu as his princess. The Zhao family will only discuss this matter as long as the current Princess Yu is divorced first.

Concubine Yan had already told Concubine Zhao about this matter, and it was a good opportunity for her to take advantage of the day when the Zhao family brought their daughter into the palace to do some screening. Otherwise, she would still feel uneasy, fearing that Prince Yu would marry an ugly woman. Concubine Yan took a liking to the man at first sight; he was delicate and pretty, with a dignified and graceful manner. She just waited for Prince Yu to take a look and nod his head.

Here, Jiang Fenghua and Luo Ziqiong also looked at the daughters of the Zhao family. Luo Ziqiong curled the corners of her lips and sneered, "They are really good-looking." She had received news a long time ago that Concubine Yan wanted to divorce her, and she was waiting for this day to come. She didn't want to spend even a single day with Xie Yu.

The Third Princess held her hand and whispered, "Some people have a sarcastic look. Such people will not have a good ending. Believe me."

Luo Ziqiong was stunned. In fact, as long as she could leave Xie Yu, she would accept being divorced by him. She also knew that Concubine Yan had people spread the rumor that she was unlucky in marriage and even made a fuss about the fact that she had no children for seven years.

Jiang Fenghua was also confused. The Third Princess must know something! Today was too lively, which was why Jiang Fenghua did not prepare any program.

They all sat together chatting quietly.

Today, Luo Ziqiong's father and mother also arrived at the banquet. Although Earl Luo has a noble title, Xie Yu is a prince. They know that their daughter is suffering in Prince Yu's mansion, but they can do nothing.

At this moment, Jiang Fenghua saw a figure Qin Yunyan in the crowd who was very familiar to her in her previous life. She suddenly stood up from her seat and looked around the crowd. Qin Yunyan must have entered the palace with Prefect Qin and his wife!

No one knows why Qin Yunyan missed the palace selection in this life. She was obviously chosen by the Queen. In her previous life, she also successfully entered the Eastern Palace. She was very capable and quickly won over Xie Shang. Then she gave birth to a boy. After Xie Shang ascended the throne, she was also given the title of Defei, one of the four concubines.

Today, not only Beijing officials but also many unfamiliar faces came to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The invitation list for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was also drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, and then it would be submitted to the emperor or the prince for review. According to convention, local officials from various states and counties would not be invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, regardless of their rank. However, today is different.

Her mind raced, she saw Jiang Jinyan also sitting and chatting with a bunch of officials, nothing unusual. She clearly remembered that her eldest brother told her in person that day that Xie Shang wanted to catch a typical example to shock the entire court, and he also mentioned the Qin family, the prefect of Quanzhou. The reason why Jiang Fenghua cared about this was because Qin Yunyan had been one of the four concubines in her previous life.

Jiang Jinyan told Jiang Fenghua that the prince wanted to take action against the prefect of Quanzhou, but did not tell her that Xiao Yu was sent to Quanzhou to investigate and punish corrupt officials. The reason why Qin Yunyan missed the time to enter the palace was also due to Xiao Yu's manipulation. On the one hand, it was to help Jiang Fenghua get rid of a powerful opponent, and on the other hand, the prefect of Quanzhou was a perennial corrupt official and Xiao Yu had long disliked him.

"What is the Crown Princess looking at?" the Third Princess asked her.

Jiang Fenghua collected his thoughts and said calmly, "It seemed as if I saw an acquaintance, but it turned out that I was mistaken."

The Third Princess teased her again, "One third of the noble ladies entering the palace today are going to be selected for the imperial selection. In the future, they will all be the women of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines will be full."

When Jiang Fenghua saw the Third Princess like this, she always felt that she was gloating. Although it was said that the Emperor had three thousand beauties in his harem, to be honest, Xie Shang in his previous life was not that exaggerated. He was a good emperor who served his country and his people. He had countless concubines in his harem, but he was not obsessed with women. The Great Zhou Kingdom prospered under his governance. At least the people of the Great Zhou had lived in peace for more than ten years under his protection. She didn't know what happened afterwards.

"Pay your respects to the Crown Princess." Jiang Zhiqin suddenly ran up to her and bowed politely.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?"

"I came here to tell you, Third Sister, that I have set a goal for myself. I want to be a general in the future." Jiang Zhiqin reported to her, "I got third place in the martial arts examination. I am not very satisfied with this ranking, but there is still a long way to go."

Jiang Fenghua smiled. She was tall like her father, but Jiang Zhiqin was already half a head taller than her. He was only fifteen years old and still had a few years to grow taller.

Jiang Fenghua did not go to look for her mother. As the mistress of the Eastern Palace, it was against the rules for her to often visit her mother's family.

At this time, Xie Shang walked towards them and glanced at Jiang Zhiqin, "Just now I seemed to hear someone say that he wanted to be a general."

"Zhiqin pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Zhiqin bowed and saluted.

He usually called him brother-in-law, but when he saw that he suddenly became so steady, he said, "If you work hard, I will make you a general." He was about to form several troops, and Jiang Zhiqin was the soldier he wanted to recruit.

"Zhiqin wants to become a general with his own ability. Your Highness doesn't need to help me. A man should keep his word." He said firmly, "I didn't tell the Crown Princess and my elder brother about the military examination this time. I got the third place with my own ability. Although I am not satisfied with this ranking, I am still young after all, and there are many opportunities for me to serve the country."

Xie Shang had already been on the battlefield when he was this old. He patted Jiang Zhiqin on the shoulder and said, "If you have ambition, I will wait for the day when you can serve the country."
