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

When Xie Shang was about to light the lamp, she quickly held him back and said gently, "No, don't light the lamp. I'm afraid that if I light the lamp you'll see me make a fool of myself. I want to look my most beautiful in front of you." The latter part of the words was an excuse she made up. She didn't want him to see the fierce look in her eyes.

"Silly boy, I've seen all kinds of you. You're not ugly at all when you cry, you're still very beautiful." Xie Shang said with concern.

"I had a nightmare and I was scared. Please don't leave me and hug me, okay?" Jiang Fenghua made an excuse. She didn't expect to dream about her past life.

Xie Shang gently held her in his arms, "Dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are. I am here with you, don't be afraid, I will protect you. Besides, you are the princess of King Heng, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

She burst into laughter and asked softly, "Will the prince always stay with Ruan Ruan and protect her?"

Xie Shang didn't even think about it, "Of course."

Jiang Fenghua snuggled into his arms. Why didn't she get any love from him in her previous life? Her heart had already been broken into pieces that could never be filled.

If he knew that every step she took with him was calculated, would he still like her?

"What did Ruan Ruan dream about?" Xie Shang suddenly asked.

She said, "Child."

Xie Shang frowned, "How could it be a nightmare?"

"I dreamed that they didn't like me and they hated me as their mother."

"They?" Xie Shang asked in confusion.

"In my dream, the prince and I have two children, a daughter and a son, and they don't like me." Jiang Fenghua's tears flowed again, "I can't be their mother. I'm afraid I can't be a good mother to them..."

Xie Shang smiled, "You must be too anxious. When we have children, if they dare to bully you, I will beat them up for you."

He added in a low voice, "In fact, I am also afraid that I will not be a good father. I have not been liked by the emperor since I was a child. No matter how hard I try, he has never praised me. I used to think that if I became a father, I would never make my children sad like the emperor did. I would not let them feel lonely and sad. I would love them all equally."

The first time he told Jiang Fenghua these intimate words, Jiang Fenghua felt that it was fake. He had clearly suffered such hardships, so why did he treat her two children like that? Was it because he didn't like their mother? So he also hated her two children like his father.

Jiang Fenghua doesn't want to dwell on the past, she just wants to live in the present and plan for the future.

In this life, she will never rely on a man, and will devote her whole heart to her children. She wants to make up for all the grievances she has suffered.

The next day.

Xie Shang got up early and went to the yamen. Jiang Fenghua woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again. Xie Shang chatted with him for half the night for the first time. He told her many things about his childhood.

She knew that he respected his father, but he was also a child longing for his father's love, so she deliberately went against him.

He told her why he liked going to the Jiang Mansion. He felt that the Jiang Mansion was very warm and humane. Her father was strict but kind, and was a truly learned scholar.

He said that another reason why he liked her was that he liked the Jiang family. Jiang Fenghua had never thought about this question and she thought he liked her beauty.

Because she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, she took another nap in the morning.

At this time, Butler Cheng personally found Lanyue Pavilion, and Hongxiu said respectfully, "Please ask Butler Cheng to go and add tea for the guests first. I will go and invite the princess. Before the prince left, he asked her to sleep a little longer."

Since Jiang Fenghua became the housekeeper, Hongxiu has taken over many affairs of the palace, and she has become more stable.

Butler Cheng said, "Hongxiu is not in a hurry."

Hongxiu entered the inner room and saw that the princess had her eyes open but had not yet gotten up. "The Su family has sent an invitation. The old lady of the Su family is waiting in the front hall at this moment. Does the princess want to go out to entertain them?"

Lian Ye followed closely, "Let's cool her down first. I received news a long time ago that the old lady of the Su family left the border two months ago and only returned to the Su Mansion a few days ago. I guess she came back because she heard the news that Concubine Su was banished to the cold palace. I'm afraid she came here now because of Concubine Su's matter."

Jiang Fenghua got up from the bed and said lightly, "Go and get dressed. We must not neglect the distinguished guests who have come." There was finally some movement from the Su family.

"What about Concubine Su? Should we go and inform her?" Lian Ye asked.

"It was the prince who wanted to confine her. I don't have the power to lift the ban for her. Just keep her locked up!" She added, "Madam Su is a female general who has fought in the battlefield and has been granted an imperial decree. Send someone to invite the prince back home. Madam Su is coming to the palace as a guest today. Ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious dishes. Don't neglect her." Su Tingwan was confined to her room for two months, and she was served with a variety of fish and meat, choosing all her favorite dishes.

Hongxiu said, "Yes."

Lian Ye smiled happily, "The relationship between our princess and the prince has become better and better. Concubine Su has been neglected for such a long time, and the prince has long forgotten her."

"The Su family has returned to Beijing, and Su Tingwan will soon be favored." Jiang Fenghua said, "Just wait and see! Even Concubine Su may come out of the cold palace."

The two maids looked at each other and asked, "How could it be?"

Jiang Fenghua explained, "If the crime committed by Concubine Su happened to ordinary people, she would have been thrown into the pond long ago. But if it happened to the royal family, even if the emperor was cuckolded, he would first consider the benefits that Concubine Su brought him. After all, the Su family has the military power. If the emperor had not given Concubine Su the white silk, our Prince Heng would not have really banished Concubine Su to the cold palace." The father and son are exactly the same.

Lian Ye asked, "What should we do then? Will the prince favor Concubine Su again?"

Jiang Fenghua tidied her clothes and asked Hongxiu to put her hair into a dignified and noble bun before saying, "Of course... I will." But she would not give Su Tingwan a chance.

No matter whether he likes Su Tingwan now or not, he will never ignore her again.

Xie Shang is capable and ambitious. She even suspects that Xie Shang and Su Tingwan are together on purpose to anger the Emperor and Empress.

One of them tried desperately to stop him, while the other was on guard against him, but he insisted on doing so, as if he wanted to piss them off to death.

His parents are not easy to deal with either.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw that Madam Su had a head full of white hair. Although she was over fifty years old, she was wearing armor and holding a cane. She looked quite strong and healthy.

The maidservant who served her was also dressed in soldier's uniform.

Old Madam Su raised her head when she saw Jiang Fenghua for the first time. She had an imperial decree, so she didn't need to perform any formalities when meeting Princess Heng.

Jiang Fenghua was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and walked slowly with Hongxiu's hand held by her slender jade fingers. She walked gracefully into the front hall, and walked straight past Old Madam Su on the soft chair towards the main seat without looking around.

As soon as she sat down at the main seat, the maid quickly brought her a bowl of tea. She took a sip from the cup and moistened her throat before she spoke slowly, "I didn't know that Madam Su was here. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate."

Madam Su had a hint of anger in her eyes. "It is really inappropriate for a junior to make me wait for so long."
