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

On the other side, Jiang Fenghua went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the Queen.

The queen was also a little surprised to see her enter the palace, "Why is Ruan Ruan entering the palace?"

"My daughter-in-law came into the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She wanted to try on the dress for the enthronement ceremony. I talked with my father for a while in the morning. They have state affairs to attend to, so my daughter-in-law wanted to come and pay her respects to my mother." Jiang Fenghua was not sure whether the queen knew what happened in the front palace, but judging from the queen's expression, she didn't seem to want to know much about what happened in the court.

"It's time to try it out." She said to Nanny Xi, "Go and call Ms. Zhou from the Weaving Bureau and tell them that the Crown Princess has come to the palace. Ask them how good the dress is and take it to Kunning Palace for a try."

"Don't bother Lady Zhou. I'll go try it on myself later. Lady Zhou often goes to the Crown Prince's Mansion to measure the size." Jiang Fenghua said, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. I want to come and talk to her."

Empress Cheng did not force it. She dismissed the servants in the palace and held her hand affectionately, "Shang'er finally took a commoner girl as a concubine. Ruan Ruan should not feel wronged. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Queen Cheng didn't know the real reason why Ye Susu came into the palace, and she thought that Xie Shang had really fallen in love with her during their time at the border.

She just felt that Jiang Fenghua was sensible and considerate.

"You are pregnant now, so the safety of the children is the most important thing. Giving birth to them safely is Ruan Ruan's most important task."

"I understand, daughter-in-law. Thank you for your concern, mother." Jiang Fenghua answered obediently.

"Mother had originally thought that since you were not feeling well recently, you should bring Minister Tang's daughter into the house first. I didn't expect that Shang'er would take Ye Susu as his concubine. He must think that mother is meddling too much." Queen Cheng complained to Xie Shang, as if she was indirectly accusing Jiang Fenghua of not taking the initiative in this matter.

Jiang Fenghua listened quietly. Is this what Xie Shang said to the Queen?

"I know he just doesn't want to marry more people into the mansion, and he is using this as an excuse to evade me, or he is not satisfied with the women I have chosen for him, so he disagrees." Queen Cheng wanted Xie Shang to follow her wishes. "Everything your mother has done is for his own good. His status is different now. It's not like before when he could like whoever he wants. But Shang'er still can't understand my heart as a mother."

"Don't think like that, mother. The prince respects you very much, and he knows that you are doing this for his own good." In fact, Queen Cheng wanted to personally select a few women that she could control and place them around Xie Shang, just like when she chose Jiang Fenghua. The Queen hoped that they would be obedient and could often find ways to improve the mother-son relationship between the Queen and Xie Shang.

She was afraid that she would not be able to control her son when he grew up.

"Su Tingwan has been placed under house arrest by Shang'er and has lost Shang'er's heart. Now there is only one concubine, Ye Liang, in the mansion, and Shang'er is lukewarm towards her. As the Crown Princess, Ruan Ruan will be the head of the harem in the future, so she should pay more attention to the royal heir." Queen Cheng wanted Jiang Fenghua to agree to let the women she had chosen enter the mansion.

"The prince has been studying and handling state affairs in Taihua Palace recently. He probably doesn't have so much time to favor his concubine." Since Xie Shang was unwilling, she didn't want to be the bad guy. It seemed that the queen knew everything that happened in the prince's mansion. Butler Cheng was the queen's person, so she naturally knew.

Seeing the queen's cold face, Jiang Fenghua explained in a gentle voice, "In fact, my daughter-in-law still wants to respect the prince's feelings. What's most important is that he likes her. If His Highness likes Minister Tang's daughter, he must not neglect her. At least she must be a concubine. But now my daughter-in-law's belly is so big and she is about to give birth. I really can't do anything."

The queen's face instantly brightened, and she looked at her belly again, "Then don't worry about this matter, Ruan Ruan, everything is up to you, mother."

"My mother wants to marry someone for Shang'er, but Ruan Ruan shouldn't have any ideas. You know men are fickle. Two years ago he insisted on marrying Su Tingwan, but what happened later? He is still inseparable from you, Ruan Ruan. Now a year has passed, and he has taken a fancy to a commoner girl and made her his concubine. In the future, once he enters the palace, he will inevitably take in a few concubines."

Empress Cheng's voice also became amiable, "Mother really treats you as her own daughter. Now that you are pregnant, you have the dominant power. You have won in this respect.

In particular, which women can enter the mansion in the future? If they are welcomed into the mansion by the mistress, they will remember your kindness. If they are brought into the mansion by men themselves, they will be arrogant and will not take the mistress seriously.

There are some who will flirt and even dominate, so Ruan Ruan, your mother is telling you all this entirely for your own good.

Look at Su Tingwan, Shang'er likes her, right? When has she ever truly respected you as her mistress? I heard that concubine Ye Liang didn't even come to you to pay her respects. She probably thought that Shang'er was having an affair with him outside, and that she was liked by Shang'er. She is also a bit noble. For a woman like this, you have to find a way to suppress her spirit...

As soon as I saw your mother, I knew she was an honest and decent woman. She was favored by your father, so she didn't know the ins and outs of the palace. I know more about the principles and rules of marrying into the royal family than your mother. From now on, if you don't understand something, just ask mother. Mother treats you as her own daughter!" Queen Cheng kept talking.

"Yes, Ruan Ruan will remember it. Ruan Ruan knows that the queen mother is truly thinking about Ruan Ruan." Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice, like an obedient young wife.

In fact, Queen Cheng also knew that it would be better to win over Jiang Fenghua first than any other woman, after all, she was the one Xie Shang liked the most now.

Empress Cheng didn't know if she had heard it or not, so she continued, "I heard that Princess Yu wants to divorce Xie Yu. You know about this, right?"

"The last time I met my second sister-in-law, she mentioned her. I haven't seen her for a long time, and there hasn't been any movement. I thought she was just saying it jokingly. Does mother know about it?" Jiang Fenghua was also confused, and she did not ask.

"The incident was brought before the Emperor, but Xie Yu did not agree. After hearing this, Concubine Yan ran to the Emperor and cried, saying that she did not agree to a divorce and that she wanted to divorce him because she had not had any children for seven years." Empress Cheng sighed, "I don't know where Luo Ziqiong got the confidence to say in front of the Emperor that it was impossible to divorce him and that she wanted a divorce."

"And then, what does Father say?"

"Of course, she didn't divorce him, nor did she get a divorce." Empress Cheng looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what's wrong with Luo Ziqiong. There is no such thing as divorce for women who marry into the royal family. There are only widows in the royal family. She was too whimsical and thought that she could buy freedom by doing merit. Fortunately, this matter didn't get out, otherwise their Luo family would lose face."

Jiang Fenghua quietly clenched her fingers. The emperor would definitely not agree. This kind of thing would damage the reputation of the royal family. In her previous life, Luo Ziqiong was divorced after Xie Shang ascended the throne. Prince Yu wanted to divorce his wife. Although Xie Shang was the emperor, it was impossible for him to support Princess Yu. So Xie Yu directly drove Luo Ziqiong out.

It is so miserable for a woman to be driven away by her husband.

It’s really hard to be a woman, and it’s even harder to be a woman in the royal family. I don’t know how Luo Ziqiong has been spending the past few days. Xie Shang knows that she wants a divorce, so who knows how he will torture her!
