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

At this time, Hongxiu personally poured a cup of tea for Cheng Feng and placed it in front of him, then stood aside respectfully, not looking away.

The moment Cheng Feng saw Hongxiu, he was completely stunned. He tried to pick up the teacup, but the tea was so scalding hot that he couldn't swallow it at all.

Cheng Feng guessed: Did she deliberately pour him a cup of tea that he couldn't drink at all?

Cheng Feng raised his teacup and put it down again, and said hurriedly, "I came here to report to the Queen Mother about the arrangements for the Ninth Princess' wedding..."

By the time Cheng Feng finished his report, the tea on the table had cooled down. Hong Xiu stepped forward and replaced it with a cup of boiling hot tea for him. "Manager Cheng, please have some tea."

Cheng Feng quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Miss Hongxiu."

Seeing that Hongxiu was deliberately making things difficult for him, Jiang Fenghua thought that it must be because Cheng Feng was too arrogant when he came to Chenxi Palace.

"Hongxiu, go down and do your work. You are not needed here." Jiang Fenghua sent her away directly. There was no need to offend anyone just to save his temper. His father was the empress dowager's man, but Cheng Feng was Xie Shang's man. The fact that he could manage the Imperial Household Department showed that Xie Shang trusted him very much.

Hongxiu bowed politely and left. As soon as Hongxiu left, Cheng Feng's soul followed her.

Jiang Fenghua pretended not to see it and continued to discuss official business with him, waiting for him to leave after finishing his work at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Cheng Feng came out of the main hall but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood in the Dawn Palace for a long time, which attracted the attention of the palace maids. "He is Chief Steward Cheng, and he looks quite energetic."

"Besides being energetic, he is also quite smart. I heard that he is the emperor's confidant and the emperor assigns him all kinds of tasks. His future prospects are limitless."

Cheng Feng brought a servant into the palace. The servant was waiting outside with a lot of snacks in his hands, but Cheng Feng did not present the snacks to the queen.

He took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Excuse me, is Hongxiu here?"

The maid said, "Chief Steward Cheng is looking for Lady Hongxiu. She and Lady Lianye took the little prince and princess for a walk over there."

After getting the directions, Cheng Feng took two more packages of snacks and gave them to the palace maids. "These are the snacks from Cheng's Pastry Shop. Please enjoy them, young ladies."

The two were inexplicably happy. Seeing Aunt Wang coming, they placed the cakes on the stone table next to them and bowed respectfully, "Aunt Wang."

Nanny Wang glanced at the cakes and said, "Everyone, keep watch!" The guard arrangements at Chenxi Palace have been more stringent recently.

"Yes." said the maid.

But no one knew that the sweetness of the cakes instantly attracted several bees in the flowers in the courtyard, and the cakes were also contaminated with poison.

Nanny Wang knew that Butler Cheng and his son were both the Empress Dowager's people. She had been passing information between them before, so she naturally knew that the Empress Dowager had sent people to keep an eye on the Emperor. At that time, the Empress Dowager was also worried about the Emperor being alone, so she kept a close eye on him.

Cheng Feng took the servant and walked in the direction the maid pointed.

Lin Yu and Aoxue were also there. When they saw Cheng Feng coming, they guessed that he was here to look for Hongxiu.

Hong Xiu glanced at Cheng Feng and said to Lian Ye and the others, "Take the little prince and princess back first!"

She also pretended to leave. She had never seen Cheng Feng since he entered the palace, but she heard a lot of news about him from other people. The place Cheng Feng went most diligently was to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

Cheng Feng suddenly said, "Hongxiu."

Hongxiu's voice attracted a group of onlookers. Hongxiu glanced at them, and the others tactfully took the little prince and princess away.

Hong Xiu said frankly, "What does Chief Cheng want to call me for?"

"What's the use of being a servant or not? We are all friends. You can just call me Cheng Feng. I also brought you your favorite pastries." Cheng Feng still likes Hong Xiu very much. Apart from her, he will never like anyone else in his life.

"Thank you, Manager Cheng." She didn't go to take it. They were tired of the cakes outside the palace and didn't want to eat them anymore.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Cheng Feng, and didn't even want Cheng Feng to have any illusions, so she said directly, "I'm fine staying with the Queen, so I'm not ready to get married. Hongxiu thanks Steward Cheng for his kindness."

Her words silenced Cheng Feng, and he could only watch her leave.

Just waiting for Hongxiu to catch up, Lin Yu gave Hongxiu a thumbs up. In her opinion, men are unreliable. Lian Ye and Lin Feng have been getting along very well recently, which seems to be a bad sign.

If Hongxiu and Lianye both got married, Jiang Fenghua would have no one around him who he could trust and knew well.

During the few days she entered the palace, the emperor never came to Chenxi Palace once. Jiang Fenghua seemed to be used to it. She had lived like this in this life, but how did she survive in this cold palace in her previous life?

Lin Yu looked up at the sky and saw someone flying a kite in the palace to seduce the emperor again.

Suddenly, Lin Yu also came up with an idea, and for a moment the sky above Chenxi Palace was filled with all kinds of kites.

Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou were very happy because they got the satisfaction of flying kites.

Concubine Lan and her maids were also flying kites in the imperial garden. They looked towards the direction of Chenxi Palace and many kites flew up. They didn't notice that the strings in their hands had loosened. When the spring breeze blew, no one knew where the kites in the sky flew to.

Wuxin, who was guarding the imperial study, saw this and hurriedly reported, "The emperor seems to be flying kites over at Chenxi Palace." They also knew that Concubine Lan wanted to seduce the emperor every day.

Xie Shang didn't even raise his head. "It's the Queen's palace that's flying kites. The Queen probably doesn't have time! She's busy copying scriptures."

Wu Xin was very upset. Since he was not going to go, he even sent someone to find out what the queen was doing. "Your Majesty, go and take a look and you will know if it is the queen flying a kite. The little princess and the little prince are also clamoring to fly a kite."

"I'm busy." He hadn't visited Jiang Fenghua and the children for many days. He calmed himself and buried his head in reviewing memorials.

On the day he agreed to marry the Hu people, he sent a secret letter to Jiang Zhiqin at the border.

The content of the secret letter was to ask him to speed up the training of elite soldiers and wait for the wedding party from Da Zhou to reach the Hu tribe. Then Jiang Zhiqin could show his true ability to recapture the Hu tribe.

Wu Xin didn't expect that even if he brought up the little princess and the little prince, he wouldn't be able to attract the emperor to the Chenxi Palace.

Concubine Lan was frequently sent to the Emperor because she was appreciated by the Empress Dowager, so we had to find a way to make Concubine Lan make a mistake.
