Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu smiled with mockery in his eyes, then stopped.

Shen Wanrong frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Qingwu suspiciously, "Why, is what my sister said wrong?"

"Yes, but what if I, as a minister, have a million elite soldiers and 300,000 cavalry?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu approached Shen Wanrong, "Also, from now on, you have to call me... aunt."

Shen Wanrong's face suddenly turned dark, but she could only swallow her anger.

There are eunuchs leading the way in front, maids following behind, and occasional palace servants coming and going. It is not a good place to have a falling out.

"Hey, have you heard that the Regent and Miss Jiang, who broke off the engagement, also entered the palace today."

"This girl from the Jiang family has a miserable life. She was betrayed by her best friend and her fiancé."

"She has a miserable life. The regent has a miserable life. After all, he is second only to the emperor, but he has to marry an abandoned woman who is unwanted by others."

In the garden at the corner in front of me, I could hear the sound of people talking faintly.

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Wanrong couldn't help but walk forward and look at several palace maids picking flowers in the garden.

"Sister, aren't you angry? How can you tolerate this?" Shen Wanrong whispered.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the palace maids chatting and laughing, and chuckled, "You are the one who is embarrassed. You are not angry, so why should I be angry?"

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu was about to move forward, but after taking a few steps, he heard the discussions among the others become harsh again.

"What's so miserable about the regent? After all... he is a cripple and useless."

"You probably don't know yet, but I heard...his leg can't be healed, and he can't even...he can't do that anymore. He married Jiang Qingwu just to save face."

"Hey, keep your voice down. I don't know if it's because you're seriously injured. I heard today that the Regent was cruel and ruthless, and many people lost their lives. You better not cause trouble."

"Humph, what's the big deal? No matter how hard he tries, he's still a king, or a cripple. Haha, if I were him, I'd just burrow into the ground and never come out."

With a "puff", Shen Wanrong on the side laughed unabashedly with a bit of mockery. Seeing Jiang Qingwu's ugly face, she felt even more proud.

"Don't mind it, sister. It's all gossip. No..." Before Shen Wanrong could finish her words, Jiang Qingwu turned around and slapped her.

With a "pop" sound, Shen Wanrong froze in place.

"Sister, you want to see me angry, then I will do as you wish." Jiang Qingwu glanced at Shen Wanrong coldly, turned and walked into the garden.

Shen Wanrong followed with a dark face and angrily.

When the three palace maids saw that it was Jiang Qingwu, they were so scared that they dropped the vases in their hands and knelt on the ground in panic.

"You three are so ignorant that you dare to criticize His Royal Highness the Regent here."

Shen Wanrong pretended to scold, then turned to Jiang Qingwu and said, "Sister, why don't I slap them in the face for you?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and prepared to strike, but he never expected that Jiang Qingwu behind him suddenly shouted, "Someone come!"

The Royal Guards on the long street heard the shouting and immediately came to the garden.

"The end will be here."

"The one in the middle, her tongue was cut off." Jiang Qingwu pointed at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and said lightly.

Shen Wanrong's eyes changed and she was about to say something when two imperial guards rushed forward.

"Wait..." Shen Wanrong shouted, hiding the panic on her face and approaching with a smile, "Sister hasn't married the Regent yet. Isn't it too much to punish her so harshly by taking advantage of her power?"

"What does this have to do with the Regent?" Jiang Qingwu frowned with a hint of displeasure, turned his head and smiled at Shen Wanrong, "Maybe my sister forgot."

"I am the General Qingcheng appointed by His Majesty himself, a second-rank military officer in charge of the Beijing Army, and I have access to the court. Can't I deal with a lowly maid?"

Shen Wanrong really forgot about it, but the Imperial Guards did not. When they saw Jiang Qingwu waving his hand, they immediately dragged the man out of the pavilion.

"General, please spare my life. Miss Jiang, please spare my life. I was wrong, but I won't do it again." The palace maid begged for mercy again and again, but Jiang Qingwu pretended not to hear and turned around and walked out.

Seeing this, the eunuch who led the way hurriedly chased a few steps and came up to her, "Miss Jiang, please show some mercy. This maidservant belongs to the imperial concubine's palace. You must not punish her so severely."

Hearing the eunuch's words, Jiang Qingwu suddenly stopped, listened to the screams behind him, and shouted again without turning his head.

"Someone from the Imperial Concubine's Palace? Then break her legs again."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Looking at Jiang Qingwu walking away, Shen Wanrong stood there in a daze.

A palace maid behind him screamed and collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.

"What are you yelling for? You're not dead yet. You can't waste your life like this." Shen Wanrong shouted angrily and waved at her men.

Then someone dragged the palace maid away.

When Jiang Qingwu arrived at the Empress Dowager's Fenghe Palace, Yan Xiuchen was already there.

The empress dowager was over sixty years old, but still in good spirits. She sat at the very top, wearing a maroon phoenix robe and a golden crown, which made her look even more majestic.

Thinking back to her previous life, she disliked Yan Lin, so after Yan Lin was named the crown prince, she made several suggestions to the emperor, and then she died of an inexplicable illness.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably related to Yan Lin.

"Your humble servant Jiang Qingwu pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen Mother and wishes Her Majesty a long life and good health!"

Jiang Qingwu performed the ceremony in a very proper and courteous manner, and no one could find fault with him.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu kneeling devoutly, Yan Xiuchen lowered his head slightly and sneered secretly.

"Stand up and take a seat next to Xiu Chen."

Sitting next to Yan Xiuchen should be considered as approval of their marriage.

Hearing the Queen Mother's relatively friendly voice, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as she sat down, the Queen Mother spoke to Jiang Ruhai who was sitting opposite her.

"Marquis Shunqing, I summon you to the palace today because of the marriage of my two children."

"Xiu Chen's birth mother lives far away in her fiefdom, and he has been raised by me since he was a child, so I will take on the responsibility of being his birth mother and formally propose marriage to Marquis Shunqing and Madam Su."

Propose marriage?! Everyone can pass this test, but she has not even passed this test yet, and now she has passed it?

Jiang Qingwu was muttering to himself when he raised his eyes and met Jiang Ruhai's gaze.

"Queen Dowager, is this marriage too hasty? My daughter has just broken off her engagement with the Third Prince. If we are in a hurry to marry her to His Royal Highness the Regent..."

"If you marry Xiu Chen, you will be Yan Lin's aunt. Xiu Chen is the regent, in charge of military and political power. Yan Lin is just an unpopular prince."

"Marquis Shunqing, if your daughter marries Xiuchen, all the face you lost in the past can be regained."

The Queen Mother's words left Jiang Ruhai speechless for a moment. When Su Su next to him was about to say something, Yan Xiuchen suddenly spoke.

"Marquis Shunqing doesn't think highly of me, right?"

Jiang Qingwu's eyes widened, and he quietly turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, then secretly reached out and pinched Yan Xiuchen's leg.

Yan Xiuchen tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiang Qingwu with a frown, but a barely visible smile of surprise appeared at the corner of his lips.

"I dare not. Your Highness is of a distinguished status and has unrivaled talent. I am not worthy of being his match."

Yan Xiuchen heard the voice, but he didn't move his eyes away, and looked at Jiang Qingwu unscrupulously, "This king thinks they are a good match."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen turned to Jiang Ruhai with a serious look on his face, and said, "Marquis Shunqing, I sincerely ask to marry you."

"If you are willing to marry your daughter to me, I agree to take care of my household affairs and stay with you for the rest of your life. I will not take concubines or mistresses in this life. I will only have this one wife, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this."
