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

Jiang Fenghua still repeated the affairs of the Eastern Palace as usual. Apart from emphasizing that Nanny Wang should adjust Concubine Song's diet, there was nothing else to say.

Nanny Wang naturally took it to heart. After today, she would slowly investigate who dared to do such a thing under her nose.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Concubine Song had gained weight and she could think of the consequences.

Although the Crown Princess is young, she is smart and quick-witted, which makes her admire her even more.

When she first entered the Jiang residence to teach the Crown Princess court etiquette, she learned it in one go and did it quite well.

Jiang Fenghua naturally had no idea what Nanny Wang was thinking. She carefully looked at the registration book handed over by Nanny Wang, and felt that Nanny Wang was very capable. Empress Cheng sent Nanny Wang to the East Palace to "monitor" her, which was simply a great help to her.

Nanny Wang and Nanny Xi have served the Queen for so many years, but Queen Cheng has not discovered their strengths. If Queen Cheng had worked harder, it would have been easy for them to help her win favor!

Among the ten people who entered the palace this time, Jiang Fenghua conferred titles on four as Liangyuan, two as Zhaoxun, and four as Fengyi according to their family background and status.

The Eastern Palace already has two third-rank concubines, Zhu Zhenzhen and Tang Qianran, so those who enter the palace can only be arranged at a lower level.

According to the ancestral system of the Zhou Dynasty, the Crown Prince's concubines are of the second rank, and two can be chosen. Now there is already a concubine, Song, so there is still one vacant position. They dare not dream of the position of Crown Princess, so everyone is vying for the position of another concubine.

Generally speaking, unless the Crown Prince particularly likes her or the Emperor and Empress have specially conferred titles, the ladies who enter the palace must be promoted gradually from the bottom up, so Su Tingwan is a special existence.

The four fourth-rank ladies are Gao Qingtong, Helan Yanran, Pan Nianru, and Shu Yan. Among them, Gao Qingtong's father has the lowest official rank, but he is the first to be summoned and favored.

The two seventh-rank Zhaoxuns are Zhang Jingjing and Wen Lu. Their looks are not very high-class, but their family backgrounds are decent and their fathers are both honest officials.

The four ninth-rank Fengyi are Zhao Yuntong, Chen Jiawei, Wen Yu, and Fang Yao. Among them, Zhao Yuntong is the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Revenue, with a high family status and decent appearance. She entered the palace just to balance the court.

The legitimate daughter of the Zhao family had just married Prince Yu as his consort, and the concubine's daughter entered the palace. Jiang Fenghua deliberately gave her a low position. In fact, Jiang Fenghua also had plans for letting the Zhao family's daughter enter the palace. She wanted the position of the Minister of Revenue. She would have the final say on who would have the financial power of the Great Zhou in the future. It all depended on how this concubine's daughter performed in the palace.

From the time Jiang Jinyan entered the Ministry of Revenue until today, she has been planning for the Jiang family step by step. The emperor's conferring the title of Marquis of Wu'an on Jiang Jinyan was just an extra reward. The title of Marquis of Wu'an has no practical use as it only has status but no real power.

At first, none of the Zhao family girls wanted to marry Xie Yu, and they all wanted to enter the palace to marry the prince. However, Xie Yu was a prince after all, and if she married him, she would be a princess. The Zhao family also wanted to seize this opportunity, so they chose the beautiful Zhao Yuntong to marry Xie Yu.

Zhao Yuntong was naturally unwilling to marry that scumbag Xie Yu, so Zhao Yunhui and Xie Yu had sex later, and the one who benefited in the end was naturally Zhao Yuntong.

It was also Jiang Fenghua who asked Luo Ziqiong to find Zhao Yuntong, who managed to get Zhao Yunhui into Xie Yu's bed. Otherwise, Zhao Yunhui was surrounded by the Zhao sisters and the palace maids of Concubine Zhao. Without Zhao Yuntong's help, it would not have been so easy for Zhao Yunhui to get into Xie Yu's bed, and this matter would not have been easy to accomplish.

At that time, when Luo Ziqiong found Zhao Yuntong, Xie Yu was flirting with the two sisters Zhao Yuntong and Zhao Yunhui. He wanted both of them. In the end, he didn't care that Xie Yu slept with Zhao Yunhui because she happened to be the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family. If the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family married him, Minister Zhao would have to help him as a son-in-law. Unexpectedly, he was directly dismissed from his official position.

It can be seen that Zhao Yuntong is not a kind person, but she doesn't know that it was Jiang Fenghua who was fanning the flames behind the scenes. This is also the reason why Jiang Fenghua didn't care about the quarrel between Luo Ziqiong and Xie Yu.

Originally, the girl from Queen Cheng's family was also eligible to run for the selection. During this period, Jiang Fenghua suddenly received a letter of request from Jiang Jinyan on behalf of the Cheng family. The Cheng family took the initiative to express that they were unwilling to let the girl from the Cheng family enter the palace and expressed their loyalty to Jiang Fenghua.

She thought that the people of the Cheng family did not want the Cheng daughter to enter the palace. They must have suffered enough from the suffering brought to them by Queen Cheng. They did not ask Queen Cheng to plead for them. They probably hated their aunt Queen Cheng very much!

In fact, Queen Cheng's entry into the palace did not help the Cheng family at all. Instead, it caused the Cheng family's later generations to have bad careers and no official path. The relationship between Queen Cheng and the Cheng family only ended with the generation of Old Lady Cheng and General Cheng Yong.

The greatest achievement of Queen Cheng's life was giving birth to a capable prince like Xie Shang. With this alone, she defeated all the women in the world. Therefore, all the women who entered the palace wanted to give birth to royal heirs. This was an unbreakable vicious circle.

Jiang Fenghua looked at the beautiful women below, with a gentle and generous smile on his face.

She said to Gao Qingtong in a gentle voice, "Are you used to the meals provided by the maids?"

Gao Qingtong was named and her pupils shrank slightly. Could it be that the Crown Princess knew something?

She whispered, "My appetite has been a little bad recently, so I don't eat much."

Jiang Fenghua asked with concern, "If you have a poor appetite, please ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

Before Gao Qingtong could say anything, Nanny Wang had already ordered someone to go and invite her.

After waiting for the people to leave, Gao Qingtong hurriedly said, "I'm fine, Crown Princess, there's no need to call a doctor. I just caught a cold, so my appetite is poor." She didn't dare to eat the things the Crown Princess sent her. What if she couldn't get pregnant?

Jiang Fenghua looked at her and saw that she was nervous. Zhu Zhenzhen had been unusually honest recently, and she seemed to be very close to Gao Liangyuan.

The Gao family is also a family of scholars, and Gao Qingtong has some talent in reading, so Gao Qingtong was somewhat famous when she was in the boudoir. Naturally, she was also a little arrogant, but she was too trusting.

Zhu Zhenzhen used Gao Qingtong to sneak into Chengguang Palace. She thought that if she hid it from all the servants in Yuling Palace, they would not know what she had done. However, she did not expect that Wuxin beside Xie Shang was her man. Even if she knew these things, she did not care and pretended that nothing had happened.

Doesn’t Zhu Zhenzhen just want to have a royal heir to satisfy the Zhu family’s ambitions?

Jiang Fenghua sneered. Zhu Zhenzhen would never have a child in her life. No matter how she struggled, she would know the consequences of going against her.

Jiang Fenghua smiled and said to Zhu Zhenzhen, "It has been three months since Zhu Liangdi had her miscarriage. I think Zhu Liangdi has recovered and can sleep with me. I said at the beginning that as long as Zhu Liangdi takes good care of herself, she will have the chance to conceive another heir in the future."

Zhu Zhenzhen sat quietly on the side, hating Jiang Fenghua to death in her heart. When she heard her words, she quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Zhu Zhenzhen thought: She didn't need Jiang Fenghua to make any arrangements. She just needed to wait until she was pregnant and then let the Crown Princess know. She thought the Crown Princess would be very happy at that time.

Only if women in the harem give birth to a child of their own can they have more opportunities in the future. For example, Queen Cheng rose to fame with the help of the crown prince.
