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

The emperor looked at Jiang Fenghua, his face showing an expression as if he had swallowed a fly alive, "Do I want to be a coward?"

Jiang Fenghua knew that the emperor had misunderstood, and her expression was flustered. She couldn't even kneel down, so she hurriedly explained, "My daughter-in-law meant that the bandits have reached our country's borders. The prince was born a prince, and he is also a young man with full blood and vigor. He is not afraid of tigers and is full of vigor. Although he disobeyed military orders and broke into the enemy's camp, the emperor took into consideration that he was young and ignorant, and nothing serious happened afterwards. The merits and demerits offset each other, so he agreed to let the prince go!"

At the end, Jiang Fenghua started to act like a daughter, as if a child who had done something wrong wanted to be loved by her father. "The prince has worked very hard since he was a child. He has always wanted to get your approval. He actually respects his father. He is also quite pitiful..."

Seeing her anxious look, the emperor suddenly laughed.

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, and tentatively shouted, "Father, why are you laughing? You are not angry anymore!"

"How do you know everything about him from childhood to adulthood?" the emperor suddenly asked her.

"The prince told me!" Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear. "In fact, parents are the most tolerant of their children. Everyone makes mistakes, and in the end, parents tolerate us without limit. I think father loves the prince, too. When he made mistakes, you just scolded him a few words, but didn't really punish him."

"You are very protective of him. The fact that he can tell you these things shows that he trusts you very much." The emperor sighed, "I also hope that fathers are kind and sons are filial, but as a member of an imperial family, the emperor's shoulders are much heavier than those of ordinary people. Shang'er is very lucky to have a wife who understands him."

Jiang Fenghua didn't respond. Does the emperor mean that the queen doesn't understand him?

Although the emperor appears to dislike Xie Shang, he is actually very fortunate to have this son. There are many voices in the court asking the emperor to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. Now there are many people who support Xie Shang, as well as people who support the second prince and the fourth prince.

It is said that the emperor's favorite eldest prince died at a young age. Jiang Fenghua once asked Jiang Huai about this eldest prince. He was smart, knowledgeable and talented. If he were still alive, he would be the best candidate for the crown prince.

When the emperor was still the crown prince, the eldest prince was born to the emperor's concubine. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he made his first wife the queen, and Wen Yi became the imperial concubine.

The former queen was in poor health and suffered from a serious illness. She passed away less than two years after becoming queen. Concubine Wen Yi thought she could finally take the throne of queen, but in the end the emperor married General Cheng's daughter as his successor.

The late queen died so quickly, which might be related to Wen Yi, but the emperor has no evidence.

Jiang Fenghua continued, "Father, do you know that the Queen Mother is ill? She has not left Kunning Palace since New Year's Eve, and she has not recovered from her illness. She has been ill all this time... The imperial physician said that the Queen Mother caught a cold."

Then, she continued, "I don't know what happened between the emperor and the queen. In fact, father loves mother, right? Why is he so stubborn and ignores her? In fact, it's inevitable for couples to quarrel. If each of them gives in, won't the situation be smooth?"

The Emperor had not asked about the Empress these days. The people in the Qianqing Palace seemed to be accustomed to the way the Emperor and the Empress got along with each other, and they didn't say much, so the Emperor really didn't know that the Empress was sick.

The emperor clenched his fingers, thinking of that day when she was soaked all over, kneeling in the snow in freezing weather for so long. He thought that since he promised to make her son the crown prince, she would never bother him again, but it turned out that she was seriously ill.

The emperor called Cao De and left without caring that Jiang Fenghua was still in the imperial study.

Jiang Fenghua didn't stay long either, and followed closely. The emperor suddenly said, "You can go back. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. You can leave the palace to accompany your parents!"

Jiang Fenghua paused and said, "Yes."

-

Kunning Palace.

Queen Cheng was wearing a white dress. She looked sick and pale, and she didn't look old at all. She didn't want to put on any makeup, but she didn't look old at all.

She has maintained herself well and still has charm even in her forties. She has a slim waist and looks like she is around thirty years old.

Queen Cheng sat in front of the mirror, feeling secretly sad. She used to be so proud of her pretty face. She entered the palace at the age of fourteen and had a child at the age of eighteen. But afterwards, she wasted half her life in the palace. Why did she have to live like this?

Before entering the palace, everyone wanted to enter and become a queen. But once they really entered, they could only live a lonely life without any fun. Day after day, year after year, they were like canaries in a cage, with no one appreciating them.

No wonder Concubine Yan went crazy. When she followed the emperor, he was just the crown prince. Although she gave birth to a prince, he was not favored. There were countless women like Concubine Yan in the palace, and they all shared the same suffering.

There are also those who committed suicide out of depression. The emperor has cared about several of them. Now she is going to follow their old path and go crazy like Concubine Yan.

Like Wang Zhaoyi, live happily...

When Queen Cheng was young, she never thought of doing anything that was against women's virtues, and she would not do it now. She just suddenly felt too lonely.

Thinking of the loving days with the emperor, she thought they had finally put aside their past grudges. But she was too naive. The emperor would never forget those things, and no matter how she explained, it would be useless.

Now that the emperor has promised to make Shang'er the crown prince, he will also be the emperor in the future. She can be said to have fulfilled her obsession over the years. It turns out that having no desires and no demands can be so relaxing.

She planned to request to be deposed, leave the palace and return to the Cheng family. Now the only person she felt sorry for was the Cheng family.

At this time, Empress Cheng covered her chest and coughed. She called out, "Madame Xi..."

But no one answered after she shouted for a long time. She stood up from her seat with a sick look and was about to pour herself a glass of water.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly stood in front of her, "Lang Jin."

Empress Cheng was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered that she had no makeup on her face. She even forgot about etiquette and quickly ran behind the screen. She coughed again and said, "Why is the emperor here? Why didn't you let anyone know when he came?"

The emperor took a few steps forward, but she stopped him, "Don't come over."

The emperor stopped and asked, "Why didn't you send someone to inform me when you are so ill?"

"I am not wearing any makeup." Queen Cheng said suddenly.

The emperor suddenly laughed. Thinking of his gray hair, he was an old man over fifty years old. He had seen Cheng Langjin before she entered the palace. She was a beautiful girl like a fairy. He took the initiative to say, "I have been fighting with you for twenty years, and you have been fighting with me for twenty years. Looking back, we were both too stupid. We wasted twenty years for some trivial matters. Since you married me, you are my wife. I should have come to talk to you earlier."

Empress Cheng burst into tears suddenly. "When Su Qingqing bullied me, the emperor never helped me. I thought the emperor only liked Su Qingqing and hated me."

The emperor had walked up to Empress Cheng without her noticing, "When did I say that I only like her? I married you first, and she came later. Let's not talk about the past! I always knew that you wanted to leave the palace and visit the Cheng family."

Empress Cheng no longer cared about her makeup. She asked, "Really? Can I go back to the Cheng family?"

"Of course. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. I can go out of the palace incognito to accompany you to visit the Cheng family."

Queen Cheng happily embraced the emperor's arms. The emperor's willingness to go to the Cheng family showed that he had let go of the matter. In fact, she didn't know that Old Madam Cheng had passed away on the New Year's Eve. She could only feel regret when she went back now.

The emperor didn't even tell her that he needed the Su family, so Su Qingqing was the imperial concubine, and that's why she could only give birth to a princess. The Cheng family had already voluntarily withdrawn, which was equivalent to giving up power, so Empress Cheng could sit firmly on the throne, and even Xie Shang could become the crown prince. These were the primary considerations of an emperor.

Love is the most luxurious thing for an emperor. As long as the Cheng family has no ambitions, he likes Cheng Langjin.

He hugged Cheng Langjin in his arms, and just like that, the two of them, who were still angry with each other, inexplicably became friends again.
