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

Although Zhang Jingjing spoke in a sarcastic tone, she still decided to win over Zhang Jingjing. "Actually, I think we all live in the same palace, so we should move around more often. You can also tell me about the difficulties in Yuzhou, such as why it is so poor and why the people can't make ends meet. I think I can ask my father to help you."

She would definitely not refuse such an attractive offer. Her father is the Minister of Revenue. This is just a small matter...

Zhang Jingjing said directly, "Zhao Fengyi wants to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think you can achieve your goal better by asking the Crown Princess for help directly." After that, she left.

Zhao Yuntong was dumbfounded. She went to see the Crown Princess, but she only said, "A good cook cannot cook without rice." No one knew what that meant.

She thought: Could it be that the Crown Princess thinks that she is not pretty and has no outstanding qualities, so she cannot attract the Crown Prince even if she is in front of him?

Although she was only a concubine's daughter of the Zhao family, there was one advantage of being a daughter of the Zhao family, that is, both concubine's and legitimate daughters could be trained by the family, so on the surface she had not been treated harshly by the Zhao family. In secret, the eldest lady would definitely make more plans for her biological daughter Zhao Yunhui, but no matter how much she planned, she would not dare to plan in front of their father. She was not bad looking, so she was still very proud in front of her father.

Besides, now that Zhao Yunhui has become the Princess of Yu, the eldest lady's plan has failed. The Zhao family will focus on supporting her, the young lady who has entered the palace. However, she has never been favored, which means that she is not working hard. If she does not work harder, her father will have no patience with her.

Zhang Jingjing dared to file a complaint before the emperor, and the emperor has not punished her yet, which shows that she has gained face in front of the emperor.

By the time Zhao Yuntong could react, Zhang Jingjing had already left.

Zhao Yuntong glared at Zhang Jingjing's back and said, "Why are you pretending? You're so poor, and you're still pretending? Ha!" She straightened her back and went straight back to the house.

Since it was useless to look for the Crown Princess, she would go directly to the Crown Prince, and if she wanted to find the Crown Prince, she would first look for the servant who would serve him personally.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the prince, but there was no chance. She finally established a relationship with Prince Wuxin, who was beside the prince, but Wuxin did not help her. She heard that Tang Liangdi was very generous, and she thought it might be because the gift she gave was not enough, or not big enough.

She had to inform her father as soon as possible and ask him to find some good things to send to the palace for her.

So, when the news reached the Zhao Mansion, Shangshu Zhao did not dare to delay and directly took his private treasures from the warehouse and sent them to the palace. He had too many treasures, and many of them had been forgotten. They were covered with dust in the warehouse, and it had been many years. It seemed that these things had long been forgotten.

When Zhao Yuntong handed the thing to Wuxin, he felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. This kind of thing was obviously very valuable, so he did not dare to accept it and secretly sent a message to the Crown Princess.

Wu Xin got the answer: "The fish has taken the bait. Let him give these treasures to Cao Zongguan."

Wu Xin saw Cao, the chief steward, pulling him aside with a smile, "Foster father, I have a good gift for you."

He usually gave the silver he received to Cao, the chief steward. Cao knew Wuxin was sensible and filial, and said, "In the future, you should keep the silver given to you by the young masters. Your foster father does not need it."

"This time it's not silver, nor a jade bracelet, but a jade horse. The horse is simply a masterpiece of nature, rare and beautiful. Godfather, please play with it when you have nothing to do." Wuxin was full of flattery and had a sweet mouth.

“Since this is your filial piety, show it to your godfather. Among the godsons my family has adopted, you are the most sensible and the one who knows how to please me the most. Follow your godfather well, and a hundred years from now, these things will all be yours.” Although he is very rich, if there are really precious jade pieces, they are still worth collecting.

So Wu Xin handed the exquisitely wrapped box to Manager Cao. Manager Cao opened the box and was dazzled at first. Then his pupils seemed to have an earthquake. He lowered his voice and shouted coldly, "You bastard, where did you get this thing?"

"Mrs. Zhao wanted me to arrange a chance meeting with the prince. She gave it to her son." Wu Xin had followed Steward Cao for more than ten years. How could he not recognize that this thing was actually a lost tribute? This jade horse was priceless.

No matter how much Steward Cao loved this thing, he did not dare to keep it as a tribute.

He avoided Wuxin and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to mention what happened today. This kind of thing..."

He patted Wuxin's shoulder and said, "Fortunately you are sensible. Go back and serve the prince wholeheartedly. You will have a bright future."

"Yes."

Chief Steward Cao took the things and went straight to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

The emperor took a look at it and felt that this jade horse was extremely exquisite and of excellent color. It was indeed a rare treasure.

The emperor didn't remember this kind of thing either. Cao Zongguan found another document and said, "It contains the blueprint of this jade artifact. It was a birthday gift that Wuguo presented to your majesty. But it disappeared later. There are still many things..."

The emperor asked, "Are these things royal possessions?"

"Yes." Cao Zong said, "Now that this thing has appeared in the world, Your Majesty, guess which young master sent it."

The emperor frowned, too lazy to guess.

Chief Cao said, "The daughter of the Minister of Revenue was brought in by her father..."

Steward Cao did not hide anything from the emperor and told him everything in detail.

After hearing this, the emperor said coldly, "Are there any officials in the court who dare to take the imperial property for themselves? Their greed has come to my head."

Manager Cao was confused as to where this came from, even though it was indeed true.

So the emperor remained calm. He suddenly remembered that on New Year's Eve, the young lady from the East Palace knelt before him to file a complaint on behalf of the people. The prince has been busy with the Su family's affairs, and now he is afraid that he can't take care of himself.

"Cao De, do you think I am getting old and useless?" All the ministers that he valued in the past met with trouble one after another. Was it because there was something wrong with him as an emperor and he was a failure?

Cao De quickly flattered him, "Your Majesty is brave and hardworking, and is the best emperor in the world."

The emperor naturally knew that Cao De was trying to please him, and it seemed that he had to do something before he could meet Xie's ancestors.

A few days later, Chief Steward Cao sent Xiao Douzi over and said, "Your Majesty invites the Crown Princess to the Qianqing Palace. Chief Steward Cao asked the Crown Princess to bring the two grandchildren with her."

Jiang Fenghua nodded, "I'll go pack up and then go over, Master Xiaodouzi, have a cup of tea and wait for a while."

"Yes." Xiaodouzi said respectfully.

Jiang Fenghua's mind raced. What did the emperor want her to do, and he wanted to bring the little grandson with him? Could it be that the queen had the same idea as Xie Shang, thinking that she was too eager to eradicate the Su family?

The Su family was originally the emperor's right-hand man. The emperor did not agree to touch the Su family. It was the Su family who were too proud of their achievements. And the emperor did not object and was very cooperative.

What did the emperor want her to do? Bring the child with him. Was he going to reward the child? But they couldn't speak yet.

These two children are truly her treasures. They are so easy to raise and do not cause her any worries at all. God may be making it up to her, knowing that she was tortured by the children in her previous life.

The emperor is seriously ill now. If he finds out that the Zhao family has even embezzled tribute, will he handle it himself? But his health is getting worse and worse, and the emperor is afraid that he will just leave it to Xie Shang.
