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

Gao Qingtong said, "She gave birth to a son. It is very important for the son to have abilities in the future. It is also good to start from a young age. If he works hard, he may become a great talent. Being the son of an emperor is not the same as being the son of an ordinary family."

Gao Qingtong didn't want to sow discord between the Queen and Song Jing. She just felt that the Queen had changed and wanted her to be on guard against Song Jing.

She remembered that Song Jing was not like this before. Maybe people really can change!

Jiang Fenghua looked back at her, implying that Song Jing's ambitions were too high, and she thought that having a son would give her a bargaining chip, but there was only one throne, so was she going to train her son to be the crown prince?

She thought secretly: The late emperor had many sons, and in the end Xie Shang became the emperor, and the other princes didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

She wondered whether the Fourth Prince was wise but appeared foolish or was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

She said, "The children are still young, and it is hard to tell who will be capable in the future. Governing the world is not an easy task."

"That's what the Queen said."

Jiang Fenghua changed the subject, "Thank you for your help yesterday, Concubine Gao. I will remember your favor. Princess Yan Huan's future will be extremely bright."

She knew that Gao Qingtong was thinking only of her daughter, and Jiang Fenghua was not a fool. If someone took the initiative to show goodwill, she couldn't possibly refuse this favor. She still needed help in the palace so that she could live an easy life. Promising the second princess was her way of returning the favor.

Gao Qingtong knew what the Queen was referring to, Concubine Han. It didn't matter if there was one less concubine in the palace, or one more concubine. She said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I am not doing this for the Second Princess."

Jiang Fenghua was stunned. Could it be that she was being mean-spirited?

Qingtong continued, "No matter what the queen does, I will support her and believe in her, just like before. Qingtong wants to be friends with her. In this palace, Qingtong trusts no one except the queen."

Jiang Fenghua saw anxiety flash in her eyes, as if he was afraid that she didn't believe what she said.

Ever since she entered the palace, all she met were people who hated her. Gao Qingtong was the first person who was friendly to her. Did she mean not only an ally, but a friend?

She said calmly: "You trust me so much."

Gao Qingtong suddenly held Jiang Fenghua's hand and said with a firm look: "Believe it."

Jiang Fenghua was made very uncomfortable by her sudden action.

Gao Qingtong also felt embarrassed. She even blushed. "I... I mean, I feel at ease with Your Majesty in the palace. No matter what happens, Your Majesty can handle it. When I gave birth to the second princess, I almost died. It was Your Majesty who stayed with me for three days and three nights. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have died long ago."

Her eyes were wet with emotion and reluctance. She wished she could go back to the days when they had long conversations.

Only then did Jiang Fenghua realize that she and Gao Qingtong had such a connection. She was able to wait for three days and three nights for a concubine in the harem to give birth to a child. It seemed that she was not a bad person. Everyone scolded her for being vicious, scheming, and bad, but only Gao Qingtong thought she was a good person.

"Why are you still feeling wronged?" Jiang Fenghua said with a smile.

At this time, Song Jing suddenly walked in. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, she smiled and walked forward, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."

Jiang Fenghua's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "No need to be so polite, Concubine Shu."

Song Jing asked, "What happened to Sister Guifei?"

Gao Qingtong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, avoided Song Jing's sight, and bowed to Jiang Fenghua, "I will take the Second Princess back first."

Seeing her leaving, Song Jing said, "Why are you leaving, Concubine? Let the Second Princess and the First Princess play together!"

Gao Qingtong said, "It's time for the Second Princess to take a nap. If she doesn't take a nap, she will make a fuss. Does Concubine Song Shu want to go with us?"

Song Jing smiled and said, "The Second Prince and the First Prince are having a great time. I'll be back soon."

Gao Qingtong didn't say anything more. He found the second princess and took her away.

Song Jing was stunned. She felt that Gao Qingtong and the Queen were talking about some secret behind each other's backs. She didn't know why she was crying. Was she telling the Queen about her grievances and asking her to arrange for her to sleep with the Emperor? It was like this before. Apart from the Queen, Gao Qingtong was the one who saw the Emperor the most.

"Miss."

Jiang Fenghua replied with a nasal voice, "Yeah."

Song Jing said, "The Second Prince has reached the age of enlightenment. Can I ask Master Jiang to accept Rui'er as his apprentice? Master Jiang is highly respected and is the best teacher in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can the Second Prince take him as his apprentice?"

Jiang Fenghua was too lazy to joke with her and refused directly, "The Second Prince is still young, not even old enough to start learning. Master Jiang has never accepted such a young child as a disciple. Even if he grows up, we have to see if he has the talent for studying."

"Concubine Song is his mother. For the sake of the Second Prince, I advise Concubine Song not to let him practice martial arts too early. It is not good for his health." She said in a deep voice.

Song Jing's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, what you are saying is that I was inconsiderate and that the Second Prince wanted to play with the First Prince and the Princess. I have absolutely no bad intentions. Please believe me, Your Majesty."

Her eyes also turned red.

After Song Jing left, Hong Xiu said, "Your Majesty, why are you saying these things to her? If she wants to do something, then let her do it. It would be best if she makes the Second Prince die."

Jiang Fenghua glared at her coldly, "What do you mean by dead? The child is innocent."

"Your Highness Gao is right. Concubine Song is very ambitious. She thinks that if she gives birth to a prince, her son will have a chance to compete for the crown prince's position. Your Highness must be on guard." Hongxiu reminded her because she had lost her memory and had forgotten their original intention.

The Queen's original purpose of entering the palace was to be the mother of the country and the most honorable woman in the Zhou Dynasty. This also meant that the Queen's son had to be the Crown Prince, otherwise all the suffering the Queen had endured would be in vain.

Jiang Fenghua sneered, "If you want to be the crown prince, you have to rely on your own abilities. Besides, if I don't let her do it, will she not do it?"

Hong Xiuchen was surprised and said, "Your Highness said this on purpose. With Concubine Song Shu's personality, the more Your Highness forbids the Second Prince to study, the more she will think that Your Highness has ulterior motives. I don't know how she will force the Second Prince to study and learn characters in private."

Jiang Fenghua was speechless, "Am I so bad?"

Hong Xiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kindhearted and only cares about the heir to the throne. Whether Concubine Song Shu listens or not is her business."

"Who did you learn these frivolous ways from?" Jiang Fenghua teased her again, "Go call Cheng Feng over. I have something to ask him."

"What does your Majesty want to see Manager Cheng for?"

"Something's going on. Something important."

Hongxiu didn't think much about it and really went to find Cheng Feng.

After Song Jing brought the Second Prince back to the palace, she angrily asked, "What did the Queen mean? Or did Gao Qingtong tell her that the Second Prince couldn't learn? The Fourth Prince was only six months old when she was brought to the academy to learn. Why didn't she say that the Fourth Prince was too young and shouldn't learn?"

Dong'er advised: "My lady, don't be angry and don't be anxious."

"How can I not be angry? The palace is going to open a school and is already recruiting students of appropriate age to accompany the princes in their studies. The queen's two sons are both studying, and the fourth prince is not even one year old. My second prince is also the heir to the throne!"

Song Jing was also brainwashed by her family, and she was worried that she would not educate her son well.
