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

When Mrs. Li saw her beautiful face, she was a little stunned. Her husband often compared her with Mrs. Jiang and called her a foolish woman, which made her a little angry.

And the Jiang family snatched her daughter-in-law away, which made it so that her son couldn't even find a wife. She was so angry that she couldn't help but satirize the Jiang family.

Mrs. Li is now simply bringing shame upon herself.

For a time, people who liked Feng Jingyuan asked her about the styles and embroidery of her clothes, and said that they would go to her second daughter's embroidery workshop to buy clothes after leaving the palace.

At the same time, Mrs. Tang's face fell. Her clothes today were also custom-made, and the fabric was gifted by the Empress Dowager, not to mention how luxurious and wealthy it was. She didn't want to embarrass her daughter.

Unexpectedly, when Madam Jiang arrived, she felt powerless no matter how she wanted to show off, or even wanted to emphasize that the clothes were given by the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Tang's face didn't look good either.

At this time, Tang Qianran also appeared in an exquisite dress. She had a smile on her face, but it was even a little stiff. She was really exhausted, but she still greeted everyone, "Everyone, don't be polite. Please sit down."

At this moment, she didn't want to talk, but she still had to deal with everyone, which made her feel tired.

She only felt that at previous banquets, the queen could always chat with the wives of these officials, and she was able to do it with ease. No matter what topic others talked about, she could talk about it, and even made everyone like her very much.

Mrs. Tang was naturally delighted to see her daughter so majestic, and she bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness."

Tang Qianran lifted up her mother's hand and said, "Mother, you don't have to bow when you see your daughter. We are mother and daughter, after all."

The mother and daughter also pulled aside and whispered to each other. Mrs. Tang kept praising her daughter for being so powerful and majestic, and for stealing all the limelight from the Empress.

Now all the guests have been seated. They are all family members of officials above the third rank and royal relatives.

At this moment, the eunuch shouted, "The Queen is here."

Everyone looked in the direction of Jiang Fenghua and stood up to greet him.

Jiang Fenghua was seen wearing an exquisite phoenix robe. The floor-length gown showed her magnificence and nobility. The peony pattern embroidered with gold thread on the robe shone with dazzling light. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Tang Qianran's petite and delicate figure could not compare to the dignified and noble appearance of the Queen.

Although Jiang Fenghua was pregnant and her belly was very big, her beauty was not affected at all by the pregnancy. Even Tang Qianran was stunned for a moment.

The most infuriating thing was that Song Jing, Gao Qingtong and others attended the event with the Queen. They surrounded the Queen on both sides, looking very contented.

After the queen sat down dignifiedly, everyone bowed again, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the queen. May the queen be blessed with good health and happiness during the Lantern Festival."

Jiang Fenghua had a dignified smile on her face, "No need to be polite. I'm here to celebrate the Lantern Festival with you all. You don't have to be so formal." Her mother was also in the crowd.

Everyone sat back in their seats. Jiang Fenghua knew that the emperor and the ministers were entertaining the envoys at this time. They would come to the banquet hall only after the banquet officially began.

The hall was indeed luxuriously decorated. Tang Qianran had always been generous with her money, and this was indeed her style.

At this time, the Queen Mother also arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted again.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I will also have fun with the people today. Please take a seat!"

The Empress Dowager's dress was also very exquisite and sophisticated, with delicate patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The whole dress was mainly red, highlighting the majesty of the royal family.

Seeing how festive the banquet was, the Queen Mother praised, “Noble Concubine Tang took so much trouble to organize this banquet.”

Tang Qianran bowed quickly, "It is my duty to do this, and the Queen Mother trusts me."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I heard that Concubine Tang has thought of many things to entertain everyone today. What are the entertainment programs?"

Tang Qianran said, "Enjoying the lanterns is the top priority every year. This year, I have added some fun, including beautiful lanterns. When the lanterns are lit at night, our Shengjing City will become the night sky. The lanterns are like stars in the night sky, so beautiful. There is also a lantern riddle game."

She then said to the ladies, "I have prepared glutinous rice balls for everyone today."

The Queen Mother said happily, "It all sounds very interesting, but unfortunately the Emperor and his ministers are not yet done with their work. I came early to chat with everyone. The Lantern Festival is a festive occasion, a time for families to reunite and live in harmony."

Jiang Fenghua sat quietly, just waiting for the Queen Mother and Tang Qianran to do their best! She wanted to watch the show.

"The Emperor has arrived..." With a loud shout, the Emperor and his envoys walked over calmly.

Jiang Jinyan, Censor Zhu, Minister Li and others were also in the team, as well as envoys from various countries, including the envoy from Chaoxi Kingdom.

Jiang Fenghua went with the Queen Mother to greet them. She glanced at the team and found that except for the female officials from Chaoxi Kingdom, there were no other women among the envoys. She also asked Jiang Jinyan to check the inn where the envoys lived. Although the envoys from various countries brought women with them, even the envoys from the Hu tribe had women who served them personally, Su Qingqing was the only one missing. Where was she hiding?

At the same time, Xie Shang said to the envoys, "Emissaries, please take your seats. Prince Huyan, please take your seats."

The envoys bowed again, "Your Majesty, please."

Seeing Jiang Fenghua standing aside, Xie Shang raised his eyebrows and winked at her. Jiang Fenghua smiled and quickly followed him and sat on his right. The empress dowager sat on the emperor's left. Concubine Tang, Concubine Song and other concubines also had their own seats, but they all sat at the bottom.

The entire venue was also arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The envoys occupied one side, the officials occupied one side, the families of the courtiers occupied another side, and the royal relatives also had their own exclusive seats.

The emperor said in a deep voice, "It is the annual Lantern Festival again. I celebrate the Lantern Festival with you all and drink this cup together. Please."

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress wish you a happy Lantern Festival."

Jiang Fenghua also symbolically raised his cup. After a glass of wine, the ceremonial officer said, "Play music."

Soon, a dancer came forward to perform a dance. As soon as the song was over, applause broke out in the hall. An envoy said, "The Lantern Festival feast of the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed very lively."

At this time, the envoy of Wu suddenly stood up and said, "I would like to present a piece of music from Wu to His Majesty. Wu does not have such a grand festival as yours. Seeing it today really broadened my horizons."

Xie Shang said, "Please come in, sir."

Soon, the envoy from the Wu Kingdom stood in the middle with a musical instrument. The instrument in his hand was also very strange. It seemed to be made of an animal's head, and no one knew what kind of leather the drumhead was made of. It felt smooth and shiny, and there were even delicate patterns painted on it.
