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

The two men arrived late after having a good sleep. In the banquet hall, lights were flickering, and there was singing and dancing. The singers played hypnotic tunes and the dancers performed the same few moves over and over again. But none of this mattered; their existence was just a formality.

Xie Shang held Jiang Fenghua's hand and walked slowly without any hesitation. When everyone saw Prince Heng and Princess Heng coming, they took the initiative to greet them and complimented them on their perfect match and love for each other.

Jiang Fenghua had a decent smile on his face, and his demeanor was dignified, noble and extraordinary, as if they were the protagonists of this banquet.

Su Tingwan sat at the banquet and watched the two people walk side by side. Her heart was bleeding. She was obviously the one next to Xie Shang, so why was it replaced by Jiang Fenghua? Her father and brother ate at the same table with the emperor. Wasn't that enough to prove the nobility of the Su family? Why was her nobility taken away by Jiang Fenghua?

Ye Susu and a group of doctors were also at the banquet. She was thinking that Prince Heng had not shown up just now, and he must have been with the princess the whole time. The princess was elegant, dignified, beautiful and generous, and she and Prince Heng were a perfect match. But she couldn't help liking him in her heart, and she was willing to be a maid beside him.

Today's banquet was very grand, even the emperor and the queen were at the table, but Prince Heng and Princess Heng were late. Xie Yu raised his glass and said loudly, "Fifth brother, you are late and you have to drink a penalty."

Xie Shang led Jiang Fenghua to pay respect to the emperor first, "I am late, please forgive me, father."

"Please sit down. Today we don't have a king and his subjects, but only a father and son. Come drink with the soldiers." It was the first time that the emperor spoke to him so kindly.

Jiang Fenghua naturally knew the rules. He bowed and walked quickly to the Queen's table.

Xie Shang personally escorted her to the Queen before walking back. Xie Yu deliberately said, "Fifth brother and his wife are so loving. We are really envious."

"It's the same with Second Prince and Second Prince's Wife. I heard that Second Prince's Wife helped a lot in Beijing. It was also thanks to Second Prince's Wife's deployment of troops in Beijing that supplies to the front line could be delivered so quickly and the battle at the border was smooth sailing. This battle should be given to Second Prince's Wife for her great contribution!"

Xie Yu went to the border just for the sake of figurehead. There were very few things he could do. He was best at finding women. It was ridiculous that he was not as rewarded as Princess Yu at this time.

His face was not in a good state either. He had not seen Luo Ziqiong since he came back. Even if he had, it was only from a distance. Because Luo Ziqiong was in charge of the banquets in the palace like a master, it was said that this time the palace procurement was handed over to her.

It's strange that she, an ignorant woman, could get such an assignment.

As soon as Jiang Fenghua sat down, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She followed the line of sight and saw that Su Xuan's eyes were not on her. He raised his glass and was drinking with Xie Shang and others.

She thought: In such a public place, Su Xuan shouldn't be too presumptuous!

"Fenghua, come and sit here." The Third Princess made room for her.

Jiang Fenghua asked, "Hasn't the second sister-in-law taken her seat yet?"

"This is all thanks to the good job you found for her. She is a very busy person now, and is afraid of any mistakes, so she is keeping a close eye on it." said the Third Princess.

Jiang Fenghua originally wanted Luo Ziqiong to go to Jishan Hall to relieve her mood, but she didn't expect that she was commended by the emperor for her work at Jishan Hall. Then the palace was going to hold a banquet, and she asked Jiang Fenghua to say some good words to the emperor and help organize the banquet.

Luo Ziqiong was usually very arrogant and had a bad temper, but unexpectedly she was such a good cook that the emperor was impressed. So he handed all the dishes for the banquet to her, and she cooked them very well.

The Fourth Princess also looked gentle and dignified. Naturally, she had no share in the rewards for her merits this time. She disdained to do these things that should be taken care of by the servants.

She still acts like the Fourth Princess, since she is related to Duke Zhang's Mansion.

After Duke Zhang and his wife passed away, she still felt that the Zhang family had been noble since the reign of the previous emperor, but she chose to marry a weak and incompetent loser like the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Princess secretly glanced at Xie Shang in the distance. She had always thought that the Fifth Prince had a great future. Sure enough, he led his troops to war and won a great victory in the first battle. No one knew what she was thinking, and she could only secretly sigh that she had married the wrong person.

Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Fenghua said to the Queen, "Mother, my mother and the ladies are here too. I would like to go over and pay them a visit first."

Empress Cheng had met Jiang's mother in private when she decided to let Jiang Fenghua become the Princess of Heng. She said, "There is a saying among the people that your mother and I should be relatives, right?"

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, "Yes."

"Take me to see your mother!"

"what!"

"What? The emperor said that today's banquet is a welcoming banquet and an important occasion for officials and civilians to be one family. Not only officials are invited to the banquet today, but also civilian doctors and merchants who helped us fight the war. I heard that your second sister's husband's family also helped a lot and is also among the invited guests. Naturally, I should go and get in touch with everyone more."

Although she was the queen, she had many concerns all the time and didn't pay much attention to the ways of the world. But now it was different. The emperor had reconciled with her and wanted to make her son the crown prince. Naturally, she should put aside her airs as queen and move around more.

Queen Cheng stood up on her own initiative. Jiang Fenghua looked at her and felt that she was like two different people. She regretted that she should not have mentioned going to look for her mother.

When they arrived in front of Jiang's mother, everyone present stood up and saluted. The queen said, "No need to be so polite. I just want to chat with you about family matters. Please sit down."

"Yes." Everyone said.

Queen Cheng even specifically asked the palace maid to sit next to Feng Jingyuan. Feng Jingyuan glanced at her daughter unconsciously when she saw this kind of scene for the first time.

Jiang Fenghua said, "Mother, please sit down too. Mother just wants to talk to you."

Two people suddenly came to Jiang's mother's table, and they were the most honorable queen in the world. Everyone was naturally reserved, so they took the opportunity to send a few people out.

Feng Jingyuan sat respectfully beside the queen. Zhang Yumo and Jiang Rumeng were also there. Jiang Fenghua introduced their identities one by one.

The two of them greeted each other again.

Empress Cheng sighed, "Madam Jiang is so lucky to have such a pair of beautiful daughters and such a well-behaved daughter-in-law. I have only given birth to Shang'er, my only child. I really envy you for having a daughter!"

Feng Jingyuan said, "I have often taught the princess to be filial to her mother-in-law and to treat the queen as her own mother. In ordinary families like us, a daughter-in-law is considered half a daughter, so the queen can also treat Ruan Ruan as her own daughter."

Empress Cheng held Jiang Fenghua's hand and said, "That's right. I just feel that I have a good relationship with Ruan Ruan. Otherwise, why would I like this lovely child at first sight? I am destined to be a mother and daughter with Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Rumeng interrupted, "It is a blessing for the third sister to be favored by the Queen. The third sister is married so happily, and our whole family is happy for her."
