On the other hand, the Queen really asked for the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor for Prince Heng. She was very happy, but she heard the Emperor sneer, "It's good to be young, carefree, brave and fearless. You don't even ask for the position yourself."

The Queen quickly explained, "In fact, Shang'er is very ambitious. When he was young..."

The emperor put the memorial in his hand heavily on the table, "It's because you spoiled him that he behaved so recklessly. If he had ambition, he wouldn't spend the whole day thinking about women and doing nothing. Even if he was given the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, could he do it well?"

The queen's face turned pale and blue, and she didn't feel any pain even when her nails dug into her flesh. She raised her head abruptly and stared straight at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so partial. If Your Majesty were a little fair and let him be the same as other princes, would he be idle all day long? Your Majesty, every word you say is belittling him. Think about how smart he was when he was young..."

As the Queen spoke, she began to recount Xie Shang's great achievements as a child, saying that it was because the Emperor didn't like her that her son was innocently implicated and was disliked by the Emperor.

The emperor frowned, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the hall, "Have you had enough of making trouble? How can a queen behave like this?"

The queen was shaking violently after being yelled at, not because she was afraid, but because the emperor's harsh words were like sharp blades cutting into her heart, causing her to bleed profusely. Was she hated by him like this?

With a crisp "bang", the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and Xie Shang was seen standing outside the door with a cold expression, staring blankly at the emperor sitting beside the imperial desk.

The queen turned around and ignored her sadness and impoliteness, and said quickly: "Shang'er, why don't you pay your respects to your father?"

Xie Shang hid the coldness in his eyes and walked through the door. Each step he took was heavy until he knelt before the emperor, then he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Your Highness, your son pays respect to you, Father."

The emperor stared at him with cold eyes, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Get up!"

"Thank you, father." Xie Shang was as respectful as ever.

The emperor had just had an argument with the empress, and he acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Your mother later asked for a position for you, and now the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is vacant. If you are not qualified, I will send someone else..." He said the last sentence because he thought he was going to refuse.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations, father and mother. Thank you, father." Xie Shang cupped his hands, his fingers with distinct knuckles clenched into fists with such force that it seemed as if his bones were exposed.

The emperor was also decisive. He immediately drafted an edict and issued a document to appoint Prince Heng as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The queen was secretly happy, but she didn't dare to show it. The emperor didn't even bother to look at them and said in a deep voice, "Back off!"

"Father." Xie Shang said again.

"What else?"

"I and General Su's daughter Su Tingwan have a great affection for each other. I ask your father to issue an order. I want to marry General Su's daughter as my concubine."

After these words were spoken, the emperor's eyes became slightly cold and he stared at him closely. The Su family was willing to marry their daughter to Prince Heng as a concubine. It seemed that the Su family was very optimistic about Prince Heng!

The queen was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Why did he still want to marry that woman at this time?

The emperor looked gloomy and said after a moment, "This kind of trivial matter should be decided by your mother."

He asked Queen Cheng, "What do you think?"

Queen Cheng rolled her eyes and said, "Shang'er has already married the princess. Whether to bring someone into the palace should be decided by the princess."

The emperor's lips curled slightly, "Then it's settled!"

The emperor also had a plan in mind. Without the emperor's approval of the marriage, the Su family would certainly be dissatisfied with Prince Heng making their daughter a concubine.

"Your son will take his leave." Xie Shang clenched his fists.

He originally wanted to ask for a noble title for Su Tingwan, but unexpectedly the opposite effect occurred, and the final decision fell into Jiang Fenghua's hands.

After Queen Cheng left, Jiang Fenghua felt a little bored in the palace, so she asked the female official to accompany her to the garden for a walk. It was a good time when flowers were in full bloom. The flowers in the garden were vying for beauty and blooming gorgeously. She had a faint smile on her face. It was indeed the palace where the Queen lived, which was extraordinary.

The weather was a bit hot, so Jiang Fenghua asked the female official to find her a fan. On the round fan with gold-rimmed embroidery was a girl catching butterflies. The girl had a light and graceful figure, and her spinning body looked like she was dancing.

In this situation, Jiang Fenghua also wanted to take advantage of the scenery to dance. She opened her red lips and began to sing: "The red dress sways and my steps are like flowers. The makeup is beautiful and reflects the red clouds. I wear a phoenix crown and a golden dress. I am happy to marry you..."

The melodious singing attracted the attention of the palace maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace. Everyone had a smile on their face, and their eyes were full of amazement that Princess Heng had such a beautiful voice and such charming dancing.

She was seen moving with light lotus steps, her figure graceful, like a willow swaying in the spring breeze. Her eyes were deep and blurred. As she sang "Red Makeup", her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words and she was completely immersed in her own world.

The round fan in her hand is more like her weapon, and the small garden seems to have become her battlefield. Her fingers are slender, her arms are stretched out, agile and light. She sometimes spins and sometimes jumps, her purple skirt fluttering like a blooming purple peony, beautiful and intoxicating.

The people around her seemed to be infected by her dancing and became enthusiastic and excited.

Jiang Fenghua's every frown and smile revealed her charm and shyness, which just fit her mentality when she just got married.

When Xie Shang returned to Kunning Palace, he happened to see Jiang Fenghua's graceful dance and hear her beautiful singing voice. The depression in his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the smile on her face seemed to be able to melt all the coldness in the world.

Only then did he realize that Jiang Fenghua had married him with beautiful wishes. She hoped to live a happy life with her husband.

Empress Cheng came back later than Xie Shang, filled with anger. She was in no mood to enjoy the singing and dancing. Suddenly she saw a crowd of people in the garden. She didn't know what was going on, so she shouted angrily, "What are you all doing here?"

In an instant, the palace maids and eunuchs around dispersed, and the sounds in the garden stopped abruptly. Jiang Fenghua raised her eyes and saw Xie Shang and Queen Cheng coming. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she fell to the ground unexpectedly. Then she screamed in pain and her whole body went limp.

Queen Cheng approached and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Jiang Fenghua lowered her eyebrows and answered softly, "Forgive me, mother. I saw that the garden was so beautiful that I couldn't help dancing in it and accidentally fell."

Empress Cheng was angry with the emperor, and she would not get angry with Jiang Fenghua, so she said coldly, "Get up!"

"Yes." Jiang Fenghua bit her lip and tried to get up, but her ankle was in unbearable pain. Her face turned pale with pain. She was sweating on her forehead and didn't know what to do.

Seeing her holding her ankle with her hand, Xie Shang asked in a deep voice, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

Jiang Fenghua lowered her eyes, and I felt pity for her. I nodded, "It seems so..."

Seeing her son taking the initiative to care about Jiang Fenghua, Empress Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, "Call the imperial physician."

He also ordered the palace maid to help Jiang Fenghua up.

She stood up with difficulty, feeling a sharp pain in her ankle. The pain was so severe that tears welled up in her eyes and she was unable to move forward even a single step.

Xie Shang took a quick step forward, picked her up and carried her towards the inner hall.
