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

Xie Shang asked him why he didn't become an official when he was so talented.

He avoided answering, "If the prince trusts Jiang, I can help you persuade Lai San. If he is willing to help, it will save a lot of effort and time than the prince rushing around."

Xie Shang remained silent. He was wondering whether Jiang Jinyan could completely convince him.

Jiang Jinyan added, "If Your Majesty trusts me, you can make a list. I promise to find all of them within two months."

Xie Shang picked up a pen and drew something on the paper. After Jiang Jinyan saw it, his expression became cold.

Afterwards, Jiang Jinyan went to see Lai San.

Lai San had been severely tortured, but Xie Shang still didn't get much useful information from him until he saw Jiang Jinyan, "Master Jiang, save me."

He looked at Xie Shang who was standing beside him and said repeatedly, "Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to rob the imperial tomb."

"If you cooperate, I can plead with His Royal Highness Prince Heng. Otherwise, the name of the thief Lai San will no longer exist in the world." Jiang Jinyan said in a deep voice.

Lai San thought for a moment before saying, "With Master Jiang as my guarantor, I will definitely cooperate. I know that several items were bought by wealthy businessmen in the south..."

Xie Shang frowned, "You dare to buy and sell even the royal family's things. You are really too bold."

"In fact, there are many people who dare to buy royal items. Some people even resell the items from the palace and sell them on the market at high prices. This kind of thing is not uncommon," Jiang Jinyan explained.

Xie Shang was not shocked, instead he blushed a little. He believed that such things happened because those in power embezzled money or officials were just sitting in their positions doing nothing.

Afterwards, Xie Shang went to the palace alone to meet the emperor. Xie Shang asked for an opportunity for Jiang Jinyan, and it depended on whether he could keep his promise.

Jiang Jinyan was right. Some things were not suitable for royal family members to deal with, as this would be counterproductive.

Whether Jiang Jinyan is willing to be his hands depends on whether he has the ability to do the job.

Xie Shang watched the situation change quietly. The matter between him and Jiang Jinyan still did not affect his relationship with Jiang Fenghua and his wife.

-

On this day, a grand banquet was held in the palace. The emperor ordered officials of the third rank and above and their families to enter the palace to attend the banquet. He also issued a special decree, ordering the students of the Imperial Academy to enter the palace to attend the banquet and welcome the envoys from the Chaoxi Kingdom.

The Kunning Palace was almost overcrowded because all the court ladies who entered the palace came to pay their respects to the Queen.

Jiang Fenghua and Su Tingwan also dressed up and entered the palace.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, a beautiful young woman blocked their way and asked, "Hey, when did such a beautiful woman come to the palace?"

There were seven or eight women following her side, all talking at once, "Now that Princess Yu said that, she really is a beautiful lady with a beautiful face!"

"With such beauty, any man would take a second look." Princess Yu said sarcastically.

Princess Yu had also inquired about the fact that Prince Yu was beaten. When she heard it, it was reported that Prince Yu was obsessed with Princess Heng, so Prince Heng beat Prince Yu up. It took more than half a month for his injuries to heal.

She was not angry at her man for being unfaithful, but instead blamed Jiang Fenghua for being too beautiful and seducing Xie Yu, and for saying these sarcastic words when they met today.

Jiang Fenghua straightened his back and was about to speak when a steady voice suddenly came to his ears, "The beauty you are talking about is the new wife of the Fifth Prince, Young Master Jiang's daughter Jiang Fenghua. You should call her Princess Heng."

The Third Princess spoke only when she saw the Second Princess and a group of people surrounding Princess Heng and talking about her.

She walked to Jiang Fenghua with a smile on her face, and took the initiative to say to Jiang Fenghua, "The Fifth Princess has never met me, but I have met the Fifth Princess. On the day you married the Fifth Prince, I was standing not far from the brazier. I was really nervous at that time, but fortunately the Fifth Prince always put the Princess first and didn't let you get hurt.

Let me formally introduce myself. I am the Third Prince’s wife, Yuan Wenqiang.”

Jiang Fenghua naturally recognized her. Among all the princesses, the Third Princess was probably the only one with a kind heart. She smiled and said, "Fenghua greets the Third Sister-in-law."

"Stop being so polite. We are both daughters-in-law of the royal family and of equal generation. There is no need for such false formalities. But when other people see you and me, we should be gracious and let them bow to us." She said this to the ladies around the Third Princess, so that they would not join the Third Princess in gossiping.

When everyone heard this, their faces flushed red, and they hurriedly said, "Greetings to the Third Princess and the Fifth Princess."

The Third Princess said angrily, "There is a banquet being held in the palace today, and there will be many people talking. You must not embarrass your husband."

When everyone heard this, they quickly responded, and after paying their respects, they left.

When the Second Princess saw that everyone had left, she said to the Third Princess, "Third Princess, you are so powerful. You have the whole palace under your control."

"Second Princess, you are joking. As a royal wife, I am just doing my duty." The Third Princess also said, "I have heard some of what Prince Yu did in the palace. After hearing it, my prince felt embarrassed, as if his skin had been peeled off. It was uncomfortable."

"Yuan Wenqiang, you feel uncomfortable every time I don't go against me, right?" The Second Princess was very angry.

The Third Princess was too lazy to pay attention to her. She took Jiang Fenghua's hand and walked towards Kunning Palace.

Su Tingwan walked to the Second Princess, "Second Princess?"

The Second Princess glared at her and naturally recognized who she was. Xie Yu often scolded her as a wild girl without manners, but today she looked graceful and polite.

"You are a concubine, can't you bow when you see me?" The Second Princess also learned from Xie Yu that it was Concubine Su who deliberately framed him that day and used him as a pawn for her niece.

Su Tingwan clenched her fingers. She had learned the rules these days for nothing. She bowed slightly and said gently, "Second Princess, why bother with them? As for the lame feet of the Third Prince, he can never compare to the Second Prince."

Thinking of this, the Second Princess was indeed in a much better mood. Xie Xuan was born with a lame leg, and he was destined to have no chance of becoming an emperor in this life. Yuan Wenqiang married a lame prince, but she didn't cry to death but was rather proud of it.

"Miss Su married the Fifth Prince as she wished, but I haven't congratulated you yet." The Second Princess decided to put aside the matter of Concubine Su framing Prince Yu and build a good relationship with Su Tingwan first. "She stole your position as Princess, so you must be unhappy!"

Su Tingwan was seen through by her, and she was so angry that her teeth itched, "The emperor has granted the marriage, and I dare not disobey the imperial decree." She was not convinced and just refused to accept it.

"Alas, what kind of thing is this? It's obvious that you and Prince Heng like each other, but you were forced to break up the couple and become a concubine. It's really hard for you." She sighed, "Since it was my father who arranged the marriage, there's nothing I can do. I can only be a coward for the rest of my life."

Su Tingwan blushed more and more. She would not be a coward. Xie Shang had been back home for a few days and stayed in Lanyue Pavilion every day, as if he had forgotten about her. But he still remembered their vows. She would make sure Xie Shang saw Jiang Fenghua's true face with his own eyes.

At this time, Xie Ling'er came over in a pink dress, "Fifth sister-in-law, I'm here."

"Ling'er, stop screaming." Su Tingwan said coquettishly.

"I said it last time, I only recognize Sister Wan as my fifth sister-in-law." Xie Ling'er said without restraint, "You are my fifth sister-in-law."

The Second Princess just saw the deep hatred in Su Tingwan's eyes, and she said, "I still have to go and pay my respects to the Queen, so I won't delay the conversation between the Concubine and the Ninth Princess."

Seeing her leave, Xie Ling'er said, "Sister Wan, don't talk to her. She is the most scheming one."

Su Tingwan naturally understood the Second Princess's intention to provoke her. She wanted to provoke her, and she could also use her to deal with Jiang Fenghua. She said, "I think the Second Princess is pretty good! She is kinder than the Third Princess."

"Sister Wan, you are simple-minded and grew up in the border area. You don't know the intrigues in Shengjing City. The Second Princess doesn't like anyone. If she suddenly smiles at you, you should be careful. These are what my mother taught me. You should learn from her." said the Ninth Princess.

Su Tingwan nodded slightly, "Then let's go and pay our respects to the Queen!"

"There are a lot of people in Kunning Palace, so it's not our turn to pay respects. There's a banquet being held in the palace today, and it's very lively. I'll take you to have a look." The Ninth Princess took Su Tingwan away and really didn't go to pay respects to the Queen.
