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

"That being said, Ruan Ruan, you are pregnant. Your mother's health is not a big deal. Your most important task is to protect my grandson. Ahem..."

The queen covered her mouth and said, "Don't be so close to mother, stay away, or she will pass her illness on to you and hurt the child. Shang'er just take good care of Ruan Ruan, mother is fine, cough cough..."

Jiang Fenghua admired Queen Cheng's acting skills very much. She felt distressed and anxious when she heard her coughs.

In front of everyone, Xie Shang didn't dare let Jiang Fenghua sit anymore, otherwise she would be criticized and her reputation would be affected. She had already done very well, and she couldn't let people give her a reputation of being unfilial for nothing.

The Queen Mother has only him as her child, but there are two women in his palace. Now one of them serves him wholeheartedly, while the other one ignores him. No wonder the Queen Mother never liked Su Tingwan.

If he had really married Su Tingwan as Princess Heng, I wonder how sad and upset his mother would be.

By comparison, Master Jiang and Madam Jiang did teach Jiang Fenghua very well, and the queen mother had a good vision. Everyone in Prince Heng's mansion liked her. With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for? As long as Jiang Fenghua was in the mansion, he could rest assured to leave the entire mansion to her while he was busy outside.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you will realize that Su Tingwan always makes her mother angry, and he indulges her in hurting her mother's feelings for some reasons that don't exist. He really deserves to die!

Last night he actually promised Su Tingwan to let her go with the army. Now they just have to wait for the court to be ready before setting off. War is no joke and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. He is going to fight off the barbarians, not to watch the eagles in the sky with Su Tingwan, nor to ride horses on the grassland.

How could he leave Beijing with peace of mind when his mother was so seriously ill? And Ruan Ruan was pregnant, so if something happened to her, how could he feel at ease?

But Madam Su and Su Xuan were planning to take Su Tingwan away openly or secretly. He was afraid that if the news got to the ears of the people or to the army, where would his dignity as a prince be? Would he still be able to maintain the face of his royal family? If the generals in the army knew that he brought his concubine with him, and everyone followed suit, how could he convince others?

Perhaps this opportunity was just right, and it would be a good excuse to let Su Tingwan enter the palace to take care of her mother, and the Su family had nothing to say.

Xie Shang left the palace and asked someone to go to Prince Heng's mansion to pick up Su Tingwan and bring her into the palace.

Soon, Su Tingwan also arrived gracefully. She was wearing a new cloak in bright colors, which made her look extremely beautiful.

Seeing Xie Shang waiting for her at the palace gate, she was overjoyed. She was still gentle and lovely, and bowed to him respectfully, "I pay my respects to the prince."

Seeing her dressed so festively, Xie Shang wondered if she didn't know that her mother was ill. His eyes were dark, his face expressionless, and he said calmly, "Let's go!"

Perhaps because he was used to seeing Jiang Fenghua's stunning beauty, he didn't feel anything when Su Tingwan tried to imitate him just to please him.

"Your Majesty, have you come specially to pick me up?" Su Tingwan learned not to call him by his name anymore, but to pay attention to her status and regard herself as a concubine, because Jiang Fenghua was very sensible and would never cross the line and call him so intimately. She also recognized her status, and she only won his liking by praising Xie Shang very much.

"Yeah." Xie Shang replied to her in a nasal tone and said no more.

Su Tingwan felt his alienation and became more and more uneasy. She tried to find a topic again: "The prince asked housekeeper Cheng to make clothes for me. I like them very much. Thank you, prince."

"As long as you like it, if you need anything else, just tell Butler Cheng."

Xie Shang never treated his women badly in life, whether it was money or material things, he could satisfy them. Jiang Fenghua didn't ask for much because she didn't need anything. Su Tingwan didn't ask for anything now, but she still didn't. In front of the Su family, even if it was just for show, he had to prepare everything for her.

Su Tingwan felt very sweet in her heart, thinking that she could finally leave Shengjing with Xie Shang and go out into the world, leaving behind their beautiful past. Xie Shang was a nostalgic and sentimental man, and she wanted to seize this opportunity to create a good opportunity to be with him.

Little did she know that her little thought was about to be shattered.

After entering Kunning Palace, Su Tingwan saw that all the princesses were there. It was so cold outside that her teeth were chattering, but she had a warm new cloak made of mink and the latest style. She also held a heater in her hands. Except for her nose which was slightly red from the cold, she didn't feel cold at all and looked very cute.

Everyone's eyes were on her. She followed Xie Shang obediently, feeling a little smug. It really felt good to be noticed.

However, everyone felt that Concubine Su's dress was too ostentatious. After all, the Empress was her mother-in-law, and it was not in accordance with the rules for her to come at this time. Considering that she was a concubine and not the queen, no one blamed her. However, her dress was more gorgeous and charming than that of Princess Heng.

She should know what clothes to wear for different occasions!

When he arrived in front of the queen, Xie Shang said, "My mother is ill. As the concubine of Prince Heng, you should come to the palace to visit her."

There was a warning in his eyes, hoping that she would be sensible and polite after learning the rules for so long, and not to anger her mother again.

Su Tingwan was stunned at first, but soon her face regained its composure and she asked an unnecessary question in a gentle voice, "Why is the queen sick?" as if to say that she must be pretending!

Xie Shang frowned, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "The Queen Mother is ill. As daughters-in-law, you and the Princess should serve her by her side. Ruan Ruan is pregnant, so it's up to you to take care of the Queen Mother now. You can do it, right?"

Su Tingwan's expression was almost cracked, but she quickly recovered, "I will definitely take good care of the Queen." If her aunt knew that she came to serve Queen Cheng, she would probably be furious again.

Her grandmother had taught her a long time ago that the woman in the palace that must not be offended the most is the Queen. Although the Emperor does not like the Queen, she is the master of the harem and Xie Shang's biological mother, so she has to curry favor with her.

This is also the cleverness of Jiang Fenghua. If she can appease her mother-in-law, she will naturally appease her son.

She had her aunt around before, but now that her aunt has fallen out of favor, she has no chance anymore and can no longer act as she pleases as before.

When Empress Cheng saw Su Tingwan, she hid her anger in her heart. Since you are here to take care of me, just wait and see. I will take back all the anger I suffered from your aunt on you.

Su Qingqing thought she could escape the disaster by pretending to be crazy and stupid, so I will take it out on your niece.

Queen Cheng and Su Qingqing were destined to have an irreconcilable and irreconcilable relationship throughout their lives.

Su Tingwan stayed by the Queen's side to take care of her. The Queen did not refuse and said to everyone, "I am fine, why did you all go to such great lengths? Go back! Each of you has a lot of things to do in your own house. Concubine Su will take care of you here. Ruan Ruan, you must take care of the baby in your belly. Go back home with Shang'er as soon as possible. The Queen Mother will be fine."

Queen Cheng spoke and everyone left. There was indeed a lot of things to do at home, and it was not easy to go to the palace, which would take up most of the day.

Su Tingwan was furious. If there was nothing wrong, why did he keep her to take care of him? But she didn't dare to show it. She looked gentle and charming, hoping that Xie Shang would take her away.

Xie Shang still had state affairs to deal with, so he also went to the imperial study and would come back only after he was done.

These days, everyone has been in a state of unrest over whether the Hu people and the Great Zhou will go to war, so how could he care about Su Tingwan's emotions?

Jiang Fenghua said to the Queen, "Mother, I will go and see off the princesses. They must have worked hard on this trip."

"Ahem..." Queen Cheng coughed a few times before saying, "Go, thank them on behalf of your mother."
