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

After that day, Hongxiu never worked with Butler Cheng again. She wanted to keep her distance from Cheng Feng. She had also thought clearly that Cheng Feng was not suitable for her.

Rather than getting married and being trapped in the backyard doing accounting all day, it would be better for her to stay with the Crown Princess and help her. Besides, once she gets married, she will be doing accounting for the Cheng family. She has not yet repaid the Jiang family for their kindness, so how can she be so selfish as to find a man to live with?

In addition to his wife, Butler Cheng also has several concubines in the mansion. Getting married means sharing a man with other women, and she is not happy to live this kind of life.

Lian Ye was very happy that she was not fooled by the man's sweet words.

Inside the palace, Princess Yu sat aside and sighed, "Divorce is impossible. Even if he wants to divorce his wife, my father will not allow it. Let's just stay in this stalemate. What else can we do?"

"He hit you again?" Jiang Fenghua said.

Princess Yu nodded. "I brought the incident to my father's presence once, but he didn't dare to hit me. He just felt uncomfortable with me asking for a divorce. He kept making sarcastic comments about my wish for a divorce and asked if I had someone else outside. I'm afraid I won't survive if this dirty water is poured on me."

"So you were controlled by him." Jiang Fenghua would not meddle in the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion. It was not her place to meddle, and she could not meddle.

"Alas, why is it so difficult for us women? Why can he divorce his wife but I can't divorce my husband? Come to think of it, I am not as happy as those women in Jishan Hall. Sometimes I really don't care."

"You must not do anything stupid. Think twice before you act. A momentary pleasure is not a real pleasure. It will only lead to irreparable consequences." Jiang Fenghua felt that there was something else behind her words.

"I was just saying that out of anger. There's nothing you can do about it." Luo Ziqiong said quickly.

Jiang Fenghua stopped talking. In fact, as long as Concubine Yan agreed, and she made a scene in front of the Emperor, she would be able to get rid of a man like Xie Yu.

"In that case, you better protect yourself and never let him hurt you again." This was all she could say.

Luo Ziqiong seemed to want to say something before she walked in, but in the end she didn't speak.

She probably wanted Jiang Fenghua to say a good word for her in front of the emperor. After all, Jiang Fenghua had the final say, and if she spoke up, she would be meddling in other people's affairs. Xie Shang would definitely not want her to meddle in other people's affairs.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up and help her when there is a better opportunity.

Only after everything was done did Xie Shang come over and asked with concern, "Are you okay? You must have been tired after a hard day!"

Jiang Fenghua nodded, "Well, it's OK. I asked the imperial physician to check the pulse. The children are fine. They are very well behaved. It will be hard as the due date approaches, but I can bear it."

"The enthronement ceremony was calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and cannot be changed. I'm sorry to have to suffer you." Xie Shang said.

"Your Highness, are you going to leave the palace and return to the Prince's Mansion today? Or are you too busy with government affairs to go back?" If he didn't go back, she would leave, so as to avoid staying in the palace and watching him go on blind dates every day. The Queen Mother was really thoughtful. In order to please her son, she dressed up all the girls as palace maids and let them enter the palace. As long as Xie Shang was satisfied, she would decide on the one.

In fact, when the prince chooses a concubine, he does not look at her face, but more at her family background. The royal families of all dynasties have done so by using the harem to replace the power of the court.

The daughters of Censor Zhu and Shangshu Tang both agreed with this standard.

"Originally, after the enthronement ceremony, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were supposed to live in the Eastern Palace." Xie Shang bent over and presented his handsome face to her. "I am handsome and suave today. My beloved concubine does not want to keep looking at a husband like this."

Jiang Fenghua nodded heavily, "I do, but the Crown Prince is very busy with government affairs. I want to watch him every day, but I don't have the chance."

"Then you can live in the palace from now on. Live in the Dawn Palace. It will be the same as before. Nothing has changed."

"The Dawn Palace is so small, how can so many people live in it? Don't they say that we have to wait until the Dawn Palace is expanded before we can move in?"

"There are so many people here, just me and the Crown Princess. I have decided that we will live in Dawn Palace from now on. It is where I grew up, and I can't bear to leave."

"Where are Concubine Ye Liang and Concubine Su?" And what about the women who are about to enter the palace.

Xie Shang clenched his fingers and smiled slightly, "I have already asked someone to clean up the East Palace. Once it is cleaned up, I will let them live in the East Palace."

Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to live in the place where Your Highness lived when he was a child. I want them to be born in Chenxi Palace, which has good meaning." In fact, she lived in Chenxi Palace all her life in her previous life.

"That's where I first became a man." Xie Shang didn't mention a word about placing the women who were about to enter the palace in the East Palace.

"Your Highness is so annoying." Jiang Fenghua's cheeks flushed. She understood his intention very well. In fact, Chenxi Palace was also very large, and it would be no problem for Ye Susu and Su Tingwan to live there.

"But the midwife who is going to deliver my baby is waiting in the Prince's Mansion. She also has the baby's clothes and delivery supplies. How about Your Highness accompany me back tonight and we can pack up and move in together? I have books, and my piano, clothes, jewelry..." Jiang Fenghua added, "Everything in the mansion is a memory of our love and Ruan Ruan's happy memories." She wanted her mother to be by her side when she gave birth, but after entering the palace, it was not so easy for her mother to come in.

Looking at such a bright and beautiful wife, Xie Shang really couldn't bear to tell her that his mother wanted to force him to marry a concubine. His father said that as a prince, he had to balance the former dynasty and the harem.

"Then I will live with you in the Prince's Mansion. We will leave the palace now. As for the East Palace and the Dawn Palace, let them build them slowly. When they are finished, we will move in." Xie Shang said in a clear voice.

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, "Your Highness."

"Let's live a good life first, and talk about other things later." He was referring to the matter of taking a concubine.

"Is the other thing Your Highness is referring to the matter that the Queen Mother mentioned about taking a concubine into the palace?"

Xie Shang was stunned, "So..."

"My mother has told me everything. I feel very sad, but my mother is right. Your Highness is the crown prince and has great responsibilities. Ruan Ruan must not be willful and selfish, and must not monopolize Your Highness alone." Her voice was weak and she felt very aggrieved. She could not change what was set in stone.

"If I don't take the initiative to marry a concubine for Your Highness, it would be my fault. However, I love Your Highness deeply, but I have to watch Your Highness with another woman. I dare not let Your Highness see that I am sad."

As she spoke, a crystal tear fell from the corner of her eye, as if she was heartbroken because he was marrying another concubine.

"Don't cry." Xie Shang felt distressed when he saw her crying, and held her in his arms to comfort her, "I don't want them, I only want Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan is my wife."

Jiang Fenghua couldn't stop crying, "Your Highness must not say that. If our father and mother knew about it, they might think that Ruan Ruan bewitched your Highness. Your Highness knows the consequences of being the only favorite in the harem. I'm afraid Ruan Ruan will be hated by our mother and father." He had obviously made up his mind, but he pretended to be affectionate and asked her to agree.

Ever since Ye Susu became his woman by accident, he has been much more open in accepting other women. However, he had once made a promise to her, and he did not want to become a hypocrite.

If he had been as determined to reject Ye Susu as he was to reject Su Tingwan, she might have felt a little sorry for him, but he did not reject Ye Susu.

From then on, he never saw Ye Susu again, and even treated her coldly, all because he felt guilty towards Jiang Fenghua. However, it was precisely because of Ye Susu that he felt it was natural for him to have other women.

It is true that he loves Jiang Fenghua, but he loves the power in his hands even more. Jiang Fenghua had known for a long time that Xie Shang could make such a choice. Her every move now is acting as a normal wife who is sad and upset when she knows that her husband is going to take a concubine, and even feels wronged when she is forced by her mother-in-law to take a concubine for her husband.

Her magnanimity could at least earn Xie Shang infinite guilt and love. In the eyes of outsiders, it was enough as long as she occupied a unique position in Xie Shang's heart.
