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

Jiang Fenghua blocked Xie Shang in the room. She was keenly aware that his identity was not just a noble. She said to Xie Shang directly, "You already knew that Meng Yao was not suitable to be the king. You helped him so much because you wanted the Southern Kingdom."

"I didn't know it a long time ago. I found out after I met him and asked someone to investigate. As for why I helped him so much, didn't I tell you that I was helping the people of the Southern Kingdom? Pushing him to the throne will at least prevent war between the Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou. I was sincere in my words."

Xie Shang added: "Before coming to the South Country, I knew that the South Country was in serious civil unrest. The Meng brothers were not united, and there were people behind them who were instigating a rebellion to seize the throne."

The brothers of the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom were not arrogant either, but at least they did not dare to offend Xie Shang and were afraid of the late emperor, so they avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Fenghua made a bold guess, "So you already knew that it was the vassal state that was causing trouble. The Southern Kingdom was in chaos, so the vassal state had the opportunity to cross the strait and occupy the Southern Kingdom, and then use the Southern Kingdom to attack the Great Zhou."

Xie Shang's eyes were full of admiration. "Ruan Ruan can only use your intelligence and talent when you are with me. After entering the palace, there may be surprises, but it will also be dangerous. Do you dare to go with me?"

Xie Shang was teasing Jiang Fenghua again, and she noticed it. No matter who he was, her competitive spirit was aroused by him: "Why should I be afraid? Is the Southern Palace the home of jackals, tigers and leopards?"

The fact that he is so familiar with the internal situation of the Southern Kingdom can only mean that the Great Zhou knows the Southern Kingdom very well. The Southern Kingdom cannot revolt. Fortunately, the King of the Southern Kingdom has no ambitions, so the Southern Kingdom can rely on the Great Zhou.

However, she didn't dare to guess whether Xie Qiyun had any ambitions.

When Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua arrived at the Southern Kingdom Palace, Meng Li personally went to the palace gate to greet them.

The first time she saw Jiang Fenghua, Meng Li looked at Jiang Fenghua from time to time. Jiang Fenghua had a veil on her face, and she felt Meng Li's dishonesty. A beautiful woman can't block other men's eyes with a veil.

She thought: If she could get rid of this man without any effort, why should she bother?

"Master Xie, Madam Xie, please come in." Meng Li said.

Xie Shang held Jiang Fenghua's hand and said, "Thank you, sir."

Jiang Fenghua shook off Xie Shang's hand and deliberately asked, "Excuse me, who invited us to the palace today? It's so rich and magnificent here! I didn't expect that I could enter the palace! I have never been to such a rich and majestic place in my life."

There was envy in her eyes.

Meng Li knew she was a woman who was greedy for wealth when he heard her say that. He even thought that he had a sense of superiority as a prince. "Since we are in the palace, I will tell Mr. Xie the truth. I am the fourth prince Meng Li. The ones who really invited you are the Queen Mother and the eldest prince. It just so happens that there is another distinguished guest in the palace today. I will also introduce Mr. Xie to you. By cooperating with the Southern Kingdom, Mr. Xie's business will definitely grow bigger and bigger."

Xie Shang bowed quickly, "I am really blind. I didn't recognize you as the Fourth Prince. I am really disrespectful."

Meng Li smiled and said, "Don't be so reserved, Mr. Xie. We are friends now."

"I pay my respects to the Fourth Prince." Jiang Fenghua also said hurriedly.

"Madam Xie, there's no need to be so polite." Meng Li winked at her.

"Fourth Prince, please call me Miss Jiang. Mr. Xie and I haven't officially married yet. In fact, he has a wife at home, and it would be embarrassing if his wife heard it." She said in a gentle voice.

Meng Li was stunned for a moment, "I see."

Xie Shang pinched her handle and said, “That’s enough!”

Jiang Fenghua glared back at him and said, "Why do you care about me? Didn't you say that those who can be brought out are concubines?"

Jiang Fenghua had a smile on her face and walked to the banquet hall while chatting with the fourth prince.

Meng Li said, "Miss Jiang, please."

Jiang Fenghua left Xie Shang behind, looking like he had never seen the world before, "Is this the dining area? It's so big."

She has a slender waist like a willow and exudes a faint fragrance that is very fascinating.

Meng Li explained: "This is the banquet hall, where guests are entertained in the palace.

Jiang Fenghua walked straight in and suddenly bumped into someone's chest. She screamed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Jiang Fenghua looked at the man. He was wearing a gorgeous azure blue dress, with his jet-black hair tied up with a golden crown. He was quite good-looking, but his facial features were not as delicate as Xie Qiyun's.

The man also stared at Jiang Fenghua's beautiful eyes, with a faint smile on his lips, "It's okay, I hope you didn't hurt the girl!" What a beautiful woman.

"No..." She was quickly analyzing who the other person was. Xie Qiyun said there might be a surprise.

Meng Li was only one step behind her. When she saw the man in fancy clothes, she quickly said, "Young Master Song is here too."

"Fourth Prince." Song Peng returned the salute and looked in the direction of Xie Shang.

Xie Shang looked very unhappy, as if he had been cheated on.

Song Peng smiled slightly, "Who is this?"

Meng Li said: "He is the wealthy businessman Xie Dongjia from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

He then introduced, "This is Mr. Song, who specializes in the jewelry business."

Song Peng said: "Thank you for meeting me, my name is Song Peng."

Xie Shang nodded, "Xie Qiyun."

The fourth prince said, "Everyone go to the banquet table and sit down. Everyone should stop standing. All the guests who come to the palace today are honored guests."

Song Peng stared at Jiang Fenghua for a few more seconds and went straight into the banquet hall.

Xie Shang held Jiang Fenghua's hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't be impolite."

Jiang Fenghua blinked her eyes and said, "I know now!"

Just as a few people were seated, a group of palace maids came into the banquet hall, surrounding a woman dressed in rich clothes and slowly walked into the hall with a huge momentum.

Accompanying the woman was the eldest prince Meng Ang. The woman was the wife of the King of the South and also the Queen Consort of the King of the South.

The fourth prince bowed quickly, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

Several people also stood up and saluted.

The Queen Dowager smiled and said, "Welcome, distinguished guests. I have prepared some light wine for you. Please don't be polite and enjoy it! Quickly pour the wine for the distinguished guests."

The eldest prince said, "Please sit down!"

He was a guest invited in the name of the Queen Dowager, but actually he wanted to meet the wealthy businessman from the South that the Fourth Prince mentioned.

Meng Ang raised his wine bowl and said, "This prince would like to offer a toast to you all. Welcome to visit the Southern Kingdom."

Before everyone raised their glasses to drink, the Queen Mother said to Jiang Fenghua, "Does this girl have a flaw in her appearance? Why is she always wearing a veil?"

Jiang Fenghua looked at Xie Shang with a timid look in his eyes, and then said in a gentle voice: "Replying to the Queen Mother, I cannot show my face without the permission of the master."

The Queen Mother said directly, "I just don't like women from the Great Zhou. They are so pretentious. The etiquette of the Great Zhou is also pedantic. What's the point of showing your face if you can't?"

"But I quite like the men from the Great Zhou Kingdom. They are handsome." The Queen Mother kept her eyes on Xie Shang.

After hearing this, Xie Shang almost vomited the food he had eaten the night before.

Jiang Fenghua thought: Does the Queen Mother let herself go like this because she thinks her son has secured the throne?

The atmosphere became very awkward for a moment, Meng Li hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you don't know, Miss Jiang is not ugly, but a rare beauty. Thank you for your good fortune to have Miss Jiang as your companion."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, "Fourth Prince, you are too kind. I am not that pretty."

"Miss Jiang, don't be modest." He added, "Mr. Xie wants to buy pearls just to make Miss Jiang smile. It's really touching!"

"Since you are not ugly, take off your veil and show your true face." The Queen Mother deliberately made things difficult for them. Anyway, they could not leave the Southern Palace today.

Song Peng also narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction of Jiang Fenghua.
