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

Seeing that he had returned to his previous demeanor at the Prince's Mansion, Hong Xiu was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Manager Cheng, take care."

Cheng Feng left without staying for long. He also clenched his fists. In fact, it was a blessing that Hongxiu was safe and sound. If she didn't want to like him, he wouldn't force her.

Here, Hongxiu was stunned for a while and then entered the Cining Palace. She found that the Cining Palace had become magnificent, with all kinds of potted flowers and plants. She thought to herself: Could it be that Cheng Feng arranged it?

Cheng Feng is now the General Manager of the Imperial Household Department. He is highly valued by the Emperor and also valued by Empress Dowager Cheng. The Cheng family was originally the household slaves of Empress Dowager Cheng. Cheng Feng's achievements today are all due to his own hard work.

The Queen Mother always wants to take it out on the Queen. Butler Cheng is also the Queen Mother's man, and his son is also the Queen Mother's man. She should stay away from Cheng Feng! Lest it cause unnecessary trouble and harm the Queen.

Here, Jiang Fenghua came before Empress Dowager Cheng. She bowed slightly and stood up straight. "I wonder why your mother summoned your daughter-in-law?"

Empress Dowager Cheng was furious at the thought of being controlled by her. She said in a cold voice, "I sent you here to discuss the selection of concubines with you. The first selection of concubines after the emperor ascends the throne must be grand. The women in the harem were chosen by the empress, right? None of them are liked by the emperor. How will the heir come from? Ha, I don't believe that they will all come out of the empress's belly."

She didn't want to pretend with Jiang Fenghua, and Jiang Fenghua didn't want to pretend with her either.

However, as the queen, she should behave in a way that everyone can see. She raised her lips to smile, and behaved in a dignified and graceful manner.

Jiang Fenghua heard her say this, but she was not angry. She found a seat and sat down. "My mother is so worried about the heir to the throne. I believe my father knows it even if he is still alive. However, I have already asked the emperor about the selection of the imperial concubines. He told me not to get involved. I guess my mother has also received this notice!"

In fact, she felt that Xie Shang told her not to worry about it because he really considered that she was pregnant, and the child blocked all the noise for her.

Empress Dowager Cheng was furious. Before the emperor left the capital, she had indeed asked the emperor which ministers' daughters he wanted to marry into the palace. However, the answer she got was that she shouldn't worry about it and that no one would reveal it for the time being. So she thought of bringing people in while the emperor was away.

She specifically called Cheng Feng here to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to treat this matter as a major event.

Empress Dowager Cheng got angry. "Jiang Fenghua, do you still remember what you promised the late emperor when he was still alive? You said you would never seduce the emperor and would assist the new emperor. As the mistress of the harem, your responsibility to breed royal heirs is not only the emperor's responsibility, but also your responsibility as the mistress of the harem. Look at the emperor's harem. They are all scared of you. No one dares to ask for favor from the emperor. Where do royal heirs come from? Do they all come from your belly? You have one in your belly, so you should advise the emperor to treat everyone equally."

"That's wrong. The Queen Mother controls the Jingshifang. She has the power to appoint someone to sleep with the Emperor. I cannot overstep my authority!" Jiang Fenghua said directly, "If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, I will return to the palace first."

After saying that, she left.

The Queen Mother was so angry at her attitude that Nanny Xi didn't dare to step forward to persuade her.

Empress Dowager Cheng only now felt that the Jingshifang was a hot potato in her hands, because she had assigned concubines there, and the emperor actually deceived her. The emperor did not consummate the marriage with them at all, and even gave them a fake blood-falling handkerchief to get away with it.

She also felt strange and asked carefully before she found out the real situation. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. The emperor was even deceiving her.

She looked at the concubines one by one and found that none of them were very beautiful. There were many pretty and charming ones, but it would be difficult to find another one like Jiang Fenghua.

Humph, so this is what Jiang Fenghua was planning. She wanted to find some ugly people to enter the palace, so naturally no one would compete with her for favor.

Now I want to choose the beautiful ones to enter the palace.

"Madame Xi."

"I'm here." Nanny Xi hurried forward.

"Will there be a ritual at Huguo Temple tomorrow?"

"Yes." Nanny Xi said respectfully.

"Notify everyone that I will go to Huguo Temple to pray tomorrow." She wanted to go out of the palace to select the beauties herself. It didn't matter whether the beauties' families were officials or not. As long as they were pretty enough and could attract men, they could have the chance to enter the palace and become concubines.

The emperor looked down on the women in the harem, wasn't it because they were not as pretty as Jiang Fenghua?

Nanny Xi didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking. Tomorrow was the day for the third prince to have a ritual, and the Queen Mother also had to go to the Huguo Temple. In these days, the Queen Mother had not copied any scriptures for the third prince!

-

After leaving the Cining Palace, Jiang Fenghua felt her stomach aching from the empress dowager's anger. There were so many women in the harem taking turns to serve her son, but she was still not satisfied. Today was clearly a deliberate attempt to make her unhappy. The power of the Jingshifang had already been given to her, so what else was there to be dissatisfied with?

Nanny Wang advised, "Don't be angry, madam. Be careful of the baby in your belly."

"I'm not angry. I just wonder why the Queen Mother is crazy again. Have you asked Nanny Xi?" Jiang Fenghua said.

Nanny Wang said, "I haven't had time to ask yet."

Soon, Jiang Fenghua heard the news that the Queen Mother would leave the palace to go to Huguo Temple tomorrow.

She said, "She used to be the queen and didn't have the power to leave the palace at will. Now she's the queen mother and she wants to leave the palace under the pretext of praying for the third prince. She hasn't even received a single scripture from the queen mother!"

"Yes, indeed not." said Nanny Wang.

Jiang Fenghua suddenly had a terrible thought in his mind, "Mammy Wang?"

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes. Nanny Wang shuddered as she stared into her eyes. "My lady, please don't look at me like that. I'm scared."

Jiang Fenghua leaned close to Nanny Wang's ear and said, "Go and do it tomorrow..."

After hearing this, Nanny Wang felt that this move was too cruel and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Jiang Fenghua added, "The Queen Mother is only in her forties, not even fifty. Didn't she live a widow's life for twenty years? Find her a few concubines to serve her and distract her from thinking about finding women to sleep with her son all day long."

"But it's not easy to find such a man! If the emperor finds out, it will be a capital crime. Let's forget about this idea!" The queen was really mean. Concubine Su was sent to the cold palace because she hooked up with a strange man. Although the late emperor is gone now, the queen mother is still the emperor's biological mother. If the queen mother does something immoral, it will affect the emperor's reputation.

Jiang Fenghua also fell into deep thought. She suddenly thought of Cheng Feng, but quickly said, Cheng Feng is only in his twenties, so such a handsome man should be left to Hongxiu!
