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

Here, Madam Zhu was blocked in the yard. She didn’t know what happened to the eldest girl. “Let me in.”

After a while, Censor Zhu came out of Zhu Yiyi's room. She must not know about Zhen'er's affairs, otherwise there would be a huge uproar.

Aunt Xue also came with the first lady.

He glared at Aunt Xue and said in a deep voice, "From today on, you will stay by Yiyi's side and teach her well until she gets married."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue exclaimed in surprise, "Who does the master want to marry Yi Yi to? Why is she getting married suddenly? Didn't he say that Yi Yi would enter..." She didn't say the word "palace" because she was stopped by Censor Zhu.

"The Zhu family already has a legitimate daughter entering the palace, so they will not send any other girls to the palace. You all remember this clearly. If anyone dares to say something careless, don't blame me for being rude."

Censor Zhu then said to Madam Zhu, "Commander Shang has long had his eyes on our Yiyi. A marriage between the Zhu and Shang families is perfect. Madam, go and prepare!"

"Yes." Mrs. Zhu was very happy after hearing this. This way, the master would not force Zhenzhen to create opportunities for Zhu Yiyi.

Aunt Xue was confused. Didn't the master want Yiyi to enter the palace and win the emperor's favor? Yiyi also wanted to enter the palace.

Aunt Xue continued, "Didn't Commander Shang's wife die the year before last? The master wants Yiyi to marry him again. I heard that Commander Shang has a lot of concubines in his mansion..."

"She is the eldest daughter of the Zhu family and is qualified to be someone's second wife. Once she gets married, she will be the mistress of the Shang family." Censor Zhu also thought it through. At least Commander Shang was still the commander of the Imperial Guards and a confidant of the emperor. Winning over the Shang family would be a great help to the Zhu family.

Aunt Xue wanted to say something else, but was scared away by Zhu Song's stern eyes. She knew that she should not be arrogant because of the master's favor. She was not the only concubine favored in the mansion, there were others as well. A man's favor was nothing more than a one or two-year novelty.

Madam Zhu did not enter Zhu Yiyi's room, but followed Censor Zhu directly. If Zhu Yiyi knew that she could not enter the palace and had to marry someone else instead, she would probably be so angry that she would die.

Sure enough, when Zhu Yiyi heard the news, her face turned pale with anger. Her father had not told her who to marry.

Aunt Xue advised, "Forget it. There's nothing wrong with being Commander Shang's second wife. At least she's the principal wife and the head of the family. It's better than being someone else's concubine. Maybe the eldest daughter will be happier than the second daughter. Her body is ruined now, and the emperor won't use her. The emperor didn't abolish her only for your father's sake..."

"What do you, an ignorant woman, know? No wonder you are only fit to be someone's concubine." This was the first time Zhu Yiyi said such words to her mother.

Aunt Xue felt heartbroken after hearing this, "Yiyi..."

"Which one would you choose, marrying the emperor or marrying a warrior?" Zhu Yiyi said coldly.

"If I could make my child a legitimate son, I would definitely choose a warrior." Aunt Xue had never agreed to her entering the palace. "Yiyi, maybe this is our blessing! Commander Shang is only in his thirties, in his prime, and has a high position. If you marry him, you will be the wife of the commander of the Imperial Guards. Your father said that it is because our surname is Zhu that you have the opportunity to marry Commander Shang as his second wife."

Zhu Yiyi was so angry that she wanted to die, "Why did it turn out like this?"

The emperor is young and handsome, why can't she marry him? Zhu Zhenzhen has become like this, but she has not been deposed. Is it the queen's intention that the queen doesn't want her to enter the palace?

On the way, the Queen disliked her in every way. Even that night, the Queen kept accusing her of harming Zhu Zhenzhen. The Queen must have known about what happened between her and the Emperor in the Plum Garden, so she targeted her everywhere.

There are so many young ladies in the palace, but the queen only brought Zhu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingjing. The queen must have planned to make Zhu Zhenzhen compete with her.

Zhang Jingjing is useless. She had so many opportunities to gain the emperor's favor, but she did not fight for it along the way.

Now her father has confined her to her residence and she cannot go out. She had originally planned to wait until the Lantern Festival to return to the palace.

"Mother, I don't want to marry Commander Shang. The person I want to marry is the emperor. The person I like is the emperor. I am willing to do it even if I have no name or status. Please help me."

"But your father said that Commander Shang has liked you for a long time and has always wanted to marry you. It is better to marry someone who likes you than to marry someone who doesn't like you."

"The emperor likes me. I just need to wait until he holds another beauty contest, and then I can enter the palace." Zhu Yiyi still didn't give up and wanted to wait until after the emperor's coronation ceremony. She couldn't argue with Zhu Zhenzhen, who would be banished to the cold palace if she entered the palace.

But ten days later, she received news that Zhu Zhenzhen was canonized as Zhu Guipin, a high position, and was even the main lady of one of the six palaces.

Zhu Yiyi went crazy, "Why can she be given a title even though she has lost her virginity?"

At this time, Madam Zhu had just asked someone from the embroidery room to make some new clothes for her. Zhu Yiyi looked at the smug face of the eldest lady. She wanted to tell others about Zhu Zhenzhen's loss of virginity to make her angry to death. However, her father had already instructed her, and the emperor must have also instructed her. If people knew that she was the one who spread the news, her father might kill her.

Now she was under house arrest again, and she had no choice but to beg the eldest lady to take her into the palace. The Lantern Festival was just a few days away, and in previous years the emperor would invite ministers and their families into the palace at this time.

Madam Zhu said, "The matchmaker from the Shang family has come to get Yiyi's horoscope and is waiting to use your horoscope and Mr. Shang's horoscope together to calculate an auspicious date. Yiyi, don't worry, you are the eldest daughter of the Zhu family. Your father also said that you will never be wronged. The dowry your mother has prepared for you will not be less than Zhenzhen's."

In fact, Zhu Yiyi also knew that Zhu Zhenzhen got a lot of things when she entered the palace, especially money. The Zhu family gave her a lot just to allow her to enter the palace and establish connections to win favor.

"Mother, the palace has also sent out invitations for this year's Lantern Festival!" Zhu Yiyi said softly, "I want to go see Sister Zhen."

Madam Zhu said cautiously, "There is an invitation. The Queen Mother personally invited you. Your father said that you should stay at home and not go anywhere until you get married."

So, Madam Zhu asked someone to measure Zhu Yiyi's size and left. It was simply a dream for her to enter the palace to replace her daughter. She would not be fooled by her.

Aunt Xue didn't want her to enter the palace either. She wanted her to marry Commander Shang. Although she was a little older, she was not too old. After all, marrying her as a wife was better than marrying her as a concubine.

Aunt Xue knew the hardships of being a concubine and didn't want her daughter to become a concubine, so she hadn't come to Zhu Yiyi's room for several days.

Zhu Yiyi asked her personal maid to help her, but it was of no use. The maid was also afraid of death. Who dared to spread the news of the Empress in the palace?

She must find a way to enter the palace.
