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

The emperor continued, "Prince Heng sent a letter, saying that the march is long and the battle will last at least half a year, or even a year. We need to collect supplies and send them to the front as soon as possible. Prince Heng said that the princess has set up a charity hall among the people, which has thousands of embroiderers. Now we need to rush to make more winter clothes for the soldiers and send them to the front. Does the princess think this is difficult to do?"

The government also has clothing workshops responsible for making clothes and armor for the troops in Kyoto. There are also such workshops in various places. However, the situation this time is urgent and more severe than their plans before going out. The weather is cold and many soldiers cannot stand the cold and even catch a cold.

Relying solely on military doctors seemed insufficient. The government had already made foolproof preparations, and now it was necessary to summon a large number of civilian doctors to send them to the border.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Fenghua said, "Jishan Hall was not established by me alone. In fact, when the flood occurred in Jiangnan last time, the ministers in the court also helped... and the Second and Third Princesses also made a lot of help. I dare not take all the credit for myself."

She recounted what had happened.

The emperor only knew that Jishantang had made great contributions, but he had never asked for details. The emperor said, "I see. I didn't expect that the subjects of my Great Zhou Dynasty would work together so well. This is a blessing for me and the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The emperor seemed very happy. "In this case, I believe that the difficulties encountered by the soldiers on the front line can be solved as soon as possible."

The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, as well as some ministers in the court were waiting in the palace. They heard Princess Heng mention that their women were involved in the flood in the south of the Yangtze River and were praised by the emperor. Everyone was grateful to Princess Heng.

Only the Fourth Prince had an ambiguous expression on his face, because the Fourth Princess really did not like being with them and was not sociable.

"If we want to complete this batch of cotton clothes, how long will it take to send them to the front line?" the emperor asked again.

Jiang Fenghua said respectfully, "If we help the government and work together to make cotton clothes for 100,000 soldiers, we can send them off in less than five days."

"In this case, Princess, please arrange for your subordinates to handle it as soon as possible. The Third and Fourth Princes will assist Princess in getting this done."

The two men said respectfully, "Yes." They had never thought that there would be a day in their life when they would have to work with a woman.

The Fourth Prince usually behaves timidly and cowardly, and he does whatever others say. The Third Prince is relatively capable, but he has a leg disability, so most of the time it is the Third Prince's wife who helps him with his plans.

Fortunately, the Third Princess and the Fifth Princess have a good relationship. After returning, he will listen more to the princess's suggestions and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor as soon as possible.

This winter is colder than in previous years. It has already started snowing. Plus, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we have to make it as soon as possible.

Jiang Fenghua had already made sufficient preparations for this battle. In addition to Jishantang, she also had the help of the Jin family. While they were making money, they could also make contributions to the court. She was fully prepared.

Jiang Fenghua added, "Your Majesty, I have something else I would like to ask for your mercy."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Concubine Yan has been ill for more than half a month, and Princess Yu has been serving in the palace for half a month. I am pregnant now, and many things are inconvenient for me. I would like to ask Princess Yu to assist me. Please grant me permission, father."

She added, "During the last flood in Jiangnan, the Second and Third Princesses not only donated money, but also personally taught the women in the Jishan Hall how to embroider. I also invited folk doctors to teach some women medical skills, thinking that if they had a skill, they would not be unable to support themselves."

"Oh, there are female doctors in Jishan Hall?" The emperor became more and more interested. In his mind, women were good for nothing except giving birth to children.

"Yes, there are many other things. I will tell you slowly when I have time."

The emperor was delighted and said, "In that case, let the Second and Third Princesses help you! If you need money, please have someone write a memorial as soon as possible."

"Thank you, father." Jiang Fenghua, despite her big belly, still knelt down respectfully and performed a proper etiquette in front of the emperor.

Jiang Fenghua wanted to rescue Princess Yu from Concubine Yan. Just now, she also asked Wuxin about Princess Yu's situation and said it was very bad.

Concubine Yan had long been disliked by the Emperor, and the Emperor never cared whether Concubine Yan was dead or alive. After her son left the capital, she took out her anger on Princess Yu, saying over and over that she couldn't have children.

Jiang Fenghua just didn't understand. They were both members of the Luo family and had the same maternal clan. Princess Yu was still her niece after all. Not only did she not show sympathy or comfort for her inability to have children, she also trampled on her dignity.

After Jiang Fenghua left, the emperor suddenly put down the memorial in his hand and said to Cao De, "Go and summon Jiang Huai to the palace. I want to meet him." It is not easy for a small tutor to raise such a decent daughter.

Cao De had served the emperor all his life, so he naturally knew what he was thinking. "Yes, I will ask someone to invite him right away."

When Jiang Huai received the news that the emperor wanted to see him, he was also shocked. In his life, except for the year when he passed the imperial examination and was formally summoned by the emperor, the rest of the time he saw the emperor, he was like an invisible man and was not liked by the emperor at all.

He entered the imperial study trembling with fear and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, I, Jiang Huai, pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."

When the emperor met Jiang Huai, he felt that his temperament was not as good as his daughter, and his appearance was not that outstanding. He wondered: How could Jiang Huai give birth to such a beautiful and elegant daughter?

Jiang Jinyan is his eldest son and also a handsome man.

Jiang Huai knelt on the ground, not daring to speak or look up. He felt a little nervous. He was wholeheartedly teaching in the Imperial College and had not done anything wrong!

After a moment, the emperor said leisurely, "No need to be polite!"

Jiang Huai quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor wanted to see him for no other reason than to know how he raised such capable children.

Jiang Huai became more and more cautious, not even daring to breathe, and his legs began to tremble.

The emperor asked, "Master Jiang, are you coming to play a game of chess with me?"

Jiang Huai suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor. "I am not good at chess and I am afraid that I will disturb your majesty's interest. However, my third daughter is an excellent chess player. If your majesty wants to find a chess friend, you can ask Princess Heng to play a few games with your majesty."

"Oh, your third daughter is quite capable."

Jiang Huai showed confidence at this time, and said with a proud look, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. My daughter... Princess Heng has been smart and studious since she was young. Her chess skills are even better than her elder brother. Although I am a teacher, my third daughter is not much less knowledgeable than me. She is knowledgeable and talented. If she gave birth to a boy, she could also be the top scholar in the imperial examination."

When Jiang Huai mentioned his third daughter, he stopped stuttering and became bolder.

Before he left, Madam Jiang had told him that the emperor summoned mostly because of their third daughter, because she was the only one related to the royal family. Thanks to the queen's love, she chose their third daughter as the Princess of Heng. In addition to her good looks, she was also well-educated.

Jiang Huai also picked up the good points of his daughters, for example, his third daughter didn't like to go out since she was young, and she went out secretly, which he would definitely not tell.

After hearing this, the emperor did not force him and chatted with him about some academic matters.

Knowledge was not a problem for him. Jiang Huai answered questions fluently and talked a lot. For a moment, Jiang Huai was no longer restrained.

However, Jiang Huai never expected that the imperial edict to promote him would be delivered to the Jiang Mansion the next day, and it was the emperor who appointed him personally.

He was promoted from Junior Master Jiang to Grand Master Jiang, and his treatment was only slightly worse than that of Grand Master Pan. After all, Grand Master Pan was also the emperor's teacher and had a lot of experience, so no one dared to compete with him.

Having said that, Jiang Fenghua left the imperial study, received the imperial edict, and went to Concubine Yan's palace.
