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

He said, "I shouldn't have left you to see someone I shouldn't have cared about. I was wrong, so I apologize."

"Ruan Ruan shouldn't have taken advantage of this situation and made things difficult for His Highness. Ruan Ruan was also wrong," she added.

"In fact, I clearly went to apologize, but I just walked away with a cold face. I was also wrong." He then said, after all, didn't she say those words on purpose just because she cared about him?

The next second, the couple laughed together again.

Xie Shang took her hand and held it in his palm. "If I were an ordinary man, I would be loyal to Ruan Ruan. If someone disrespects you, I will have a way to punish her. From now on, I will never let anyone give Ruan Ruan a cold shoulder again."

Jiang Fenghua had never asked him for such loyalty, as his status did not allow her to be loyal.

Jiang Fenghua smiled to show her understanding, and she threw herself into his arms, "It's enough that my husband has Ruan Ruan in his heart." If she wanted to avoid being bullied, she had to have enough power in her hands. The palace rules and regulations were strict, and she couldn't make a wrong step.

Who among the women in the harem could surpass the queen?

"You haven't eaten for a day, Ruan Ruan must be hungry!"

"Your Highness, how do you know that I haven't eaten for a day?" She indeed didn't eat. It wasn't that she was intentionally abusing her body. She would never do such a thing. It was that she really didn't have time to eat, and she was waiting to eat with Xie Shang.

"I know you've left the palace, so I naturally want to ask you clearly, so I got a boat to invite Ruan Ruan to have dinner together, and take you for a tour."

He took off the veil from her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes. "I have never seen Ruan Ruan wearing this."

She smiled and said, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good. Ruan Ruan looks good in anything she wears." He added, "The white dress suits you very well."

"Your Highness looks good wearing this mask, so handsome!" She took off his mask and put it on her face, smiling, "I can also use it to punish evil and promote good."

Xie Shang stared at Jiang Fenghua like this, lost in thought. The figure in his mind seemed to be very close, and although it was blurry, it seemed to have a contour in an instant. "Ruan Ruan, did you ever enter the palace when you were a child?"

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, "Ah!" What did he mean? She had just been coaxed, and now he was going to do something weird again. If he knew that she had been plotting against him since she was very young, would he banish her to the cold palace and print the word "slave" on her face? Then the Jiang family would be finished.

She smiled and said, "No, I went to live with my grandparents when I was very young and rarely went back to Beijing. So even though my father was an official, I didn't know many young ladies from noble families in Beijing, and I didn't have any close friends." These can be checked, she didn't lie, "Your Highness... why do you ask like that."

Xie Shang collected his thoughts, his eyes full of doting, "If I have the chance, I would also like to meet Ruan Ruan's grandparents. I want to thank them for raising my Ruan Ruan so well."

Jiang Fenghua was like a wife specially trained for him by the Jiang family and her maternal family, making him fall in love with her uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, don't you think I am who I am? I still look like this even without them training me. You should thank my mother because she gave birth to me so beautiful."

Jiang Fenghua joked, "My mother is very proud of this. My uncles and aunts on my maternal grandparents' side all love me very much. I am like a darling given by God. They all like me. My maternal grandparents' family also has a portrait of me when I was a child. They think that people from their Feng family are good-looking, so isn't it natural for His Highness to like me?"

Xie Shang was amused by her, "I think I am good-looking. When my mother was a child, she was always proud of me and showed off everywhere. My father often quarreled with my mother, always talking about my appearance, and my father always lost the argument."

"Was Your Highness really good-looking when he was a child?" I have seen him before, a timid and cowardly crybaby.

"If you don't believe me, I have a portrait as proof. It's in the palace. I'll show it to you when I get back to the palace." Xie Shang proved like a child that he wasn't lying. "Does Ruan Ruan think your husband is ugly?"

Jiang Fenghua said quickly, "He's so handsome, the most handsome in the world. No wonder everyone likes my husband. Ruan Ruan wants to hide her husband. I like such a handsome husband so much!"

She pressed her whole body on him and spoke affectionately and heartwarmingly.

Xie Shang said, "In fact, I haven't made any acquaintances with the young masters of aristocratic families. I don't like to associate with them. In this regard, Ruan Ruan and I have the same interests."

He added, "Don't think that I am a prince, the son of the emperor. In fact, I had a more miserable life than those young masters from noble families when I was a child. At that time, my father never liked me. You know the reason. It was my mother."

Jiang Fenghua felt the same way, "From now on, Ruan Ruan will accompany His Highness for the rest of his life. His Highness will never be alone again, and there will be no one who likes His Highness, because Ruan Ruan likes His Highness!"

At this moment, someone's stomach growled, and Jiang Fenghua lay on top of him, "I'm hungry."

Then, he gave orders in a deep voice, and servants brought up fresh delicacies. Jiang Fenghua took a look and knew that they were all freshly cooked. It was not surprising that such a large ship had a kitchen and fresh ingredients.

Xie Shang said, "These are all Ruan Ruan's favorites."

He knew that Jiang Fenghua was a very particular eater, so he paid special attention to her eating habits.

Jiang Fenghua ate slowly and carefully, luckily she didn't get seasick.

The boat was moving very slowly. She glanced outside quietly. It was very quiet outside. Away from the hustle and bustle, it became particularly peaceful.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Fenghua asked.

"Now that you're out, I'll take you to see the mountains and rivers of our Great Zhou." After dinner, Xie Shang pulled her to the deck of the cabin.

The night wind blew, making her shiver. Xie Shang asked someone to bring a cloak for her to put on, "Are you still cold?"

"It's not cold anymore." Jiang Fenghua had never taken a boat out at night before. "Are we no longer in Baihua Lake?"

"It's still there, I guess. The water route is different from the land route, so the itinerary is also different."

Jiang Fenghua saw some soldiers climbing onto the roof of the boat, as if they were signaling something. She asked, "What are they doing?"

"Send a signal." He pointed in a direction. "Once the other side receives the signal, someone will respond, proving it's safe to pass."

Jiang Fenghua knew that if the Feng Escort Agency took the water route, they had to report to the water transport officials and even pay taxes or protection fees, and more often than not, they would have to give some kickbacks.

"My husband learns a lot of knowledge every day and knows everything. He is amazing!"

"Ruan Ruan is also very good."

"I am just a paper warrior, not as good as my husband."

She looked at him with admiration, knowing that Xie Shang indeed did not waste his time indulging in pleasure.

That night, they talked a lot, about Xie Shang's dreams and his many ideas, they seemed to open their hearts to each other.

He asked Jiang Fenghua what his dream was?

Jiang Fenghua said that she wanted to set up a girls' school, a school as large as the Imperial College, where girls could learn real knowledge. However, women did not become officials, so what was the point of studying? She did not expect that what she learned would always be useful.

Although there were girls' schools in the Imperial College, they were only for the women of high-ranking officials to cultivate their sentiments. They were not real learning at all. It was like giving the ladies of noble families a layer of gold. There was no point in going to girls' school just to marry a good husband.

Many women in history were very capable and had made some achievements. It is nonsense to say that women without talent are virtuous.

Some women learn better than men.

Xie Shang had heard her say this before, but he always just laughed it off. He never thought that this was how she evaluated the young ladies from the aristocratic families in Kyoto.

Fortunately, she did not grow up in Shengjing, otherwise if she had entered the Imperial College to study, she would have surpassed all the men in the Imperial College.

I don't know if his mother would still choose her to be his wife at that time. So he should thank his mother for this.
