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

The little incident caused by Prince Yu and his wife was soon over. Before the banquet began, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also had to bring their little grandson to the ancestral tablet of the Xie family to pay homage.

No guests participated in this part, and the two children did not understand it at all, so they were guided by the adults to complete it. In fact, it was just a simple etiquette of paying respect to the ancestors of the Xie family at the ancestral hall.

Xie Shang was seen wearing the noble attire of a crown prince, looking dignified and majestic. He was the crown prince, so this ceremony was added to his child's first birthday ceremony. Jiang Fenghua, wearing the noble and extraordinary dress of a crown princess, knelt beside him and worshiped sincerely.

Jiang Fenghua was thinking about the Zhu family. Su Xuan actually asked the Zhu family for help. It was obvious that Censor Zhu had defected to Xie Shang, so he was not afraid that once the matter of helping him transport gunpowder was exposed, it would implicate the entire Zhu family. The Zhu family was able to defect to the prince, but he did not protect his own wings well and dared to take such a risk.

Unless Su Xuan made some promise to him, or made the Zhu family feel that helping Su Xuan would bring benefits to the Zhu family, from Zhu Zhenzhen's various behaviors after entering the palace, she knew that the Zhu family had always coveted the position of queen. If she, Jiang Fenghua, was eliminated, Zhu Zhenzhen's position as queen would be secure.

She felt that Censor Zhu was a very cautious person and would not reveal his true colors.

But why could Luo Ziqiong easily hear such important information? If Censor Zhu dared to do it, he would definitely not leave any handle.

Jiang Fenghua felt that things were not that simple. If she told Xie Shang the news, would Xie Shang believe her?

The Zhu family is Xie Shang's favorite, and now is the critical time for Jiang Jinyan to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If she tells Xie Shang about this, will he think that she is instigating and will it make things worse?

Forget it. Xie Shang has already decided to give the position of Minister of Revenue to his eldest brother. She will wait and see what the Zhu family is up to.

Only after the simple sacrificial ceremony was over did Empress Cheng take the two little grandchildren away.

The ceremonial officer also left, and Xie Shang helped her up, "Ruan Ruan, let's go."

She looked at Xie Shang shyly without showing any emotion and said softly, "Your Highness, do you still remember this place?"

Strictly speaking, this was the place where they fell in love. They expressed their feelings to each other. Thinking of this, Jiang Fenghua wanted to roll his eyes. Who would win the beauty in front of his own ancestral tablet? I'm afraid only Xie Shang could do such a thing.

Xie Shang raised his eyebrows and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He didn't think so much at that time. It was just a coincidence that he was punished by his father. He just felt that it was quieter here. He needed a quiet place to be alone with Jiang Fenghua, and then force her to face his feelings.

He said calmly, "When the ancestors of the Xie family see that I have a girl I like, they will also be happy for me."

Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "I hope Your Highness has not dreamed that the ancestors of the Xie family blamed Your Highness for the crime of disrespecting them."

Xie Shang was stunned, and leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I really haven't dreamed about it. I'll bring Ruan Ruan here tonight to relive the original scene together."

Jiang Fenghua glared at him and walked out while lifting her skirt. She didn't dare to come anymore. She was still very respectful of God in her heart and only prayed that God would bless her, Jiang Ruan, to have a smooth life.

Xie Shang followed her footsteps and chased after her, "Ruan Ruan, wait a minute, your husband, do you have anything else that you haven't given me?"

"What does your highness need? I will get it for you."

"When will you give me my birthday present?"

Jiang Fenghua blinked her eyes, thinking of the dazzling array of birthday gifts that the ladies of various palaces had given to Xie Shang this morning. She said, "I have already given your birthday gift to you!"

Xie Shang couldn't recall what he had given her, but the gifts from the ladies of the Eastern Palace were varied and unique, but none of them were from Jiang Fenghua, "Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Fenghua walked and said, "I really gave it to you. I gave it to you last night."

Xie Shang tried hard to recall. Could it be that she gave herself to him as a gift? She had already belonged to him a long time ago. "That doesn't count."

Jiang Fenghua reminded him, "Your Highness wore a new nightgown when he took a bath last night. That was my birthday gift to Your Highness. I sewed it myself. You praised my craftsmanship and I also wished Your Highness a happy birthday."

Xie Shang just remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just ordinary clothes. Finally, they went to make love. He smiled and said, "I want Ruan Ruan to make a lotus lantern herself, the kind that looks like a longevity peach, with birthday wishes written all over it..."

"Next year, I will make a bunch for Your Highness..."

At the same time, Queen Cheng also brought Jiang Fenghua's two children to the banquet. Their first appearance in public caused quite a stir, and everyone gathered around and saluted and greeted them.

Queen Cheng walked slowly forward holding Xie Hongyou's hand. He was also in the toddler stage, wearing an exquisite little brocade robe and walking in a proper manner. His little face was delicate and cute, making people love him very much.

Xie Zixuan couldn't walk yet, so Feng Jingyuan held her in her arms like a precious daughter. The one-year-old girl opened her big eyes and looked at the world curiously. Her eyes were as shiny and charming as black gems, her eyelashes were thick and curled, her nose and mouth were small and delicate, and her skin was fair and delicate. Everyone was talking about what kind of beauty she would be when she grew up.

The third and fourth princesses also appeared at the banquet with their children. The fourth princess sighed, "They are both royal daughters-in-law and royal grandchildren, but the one born from the Crown Princess is different. Everyone is praising her, as if to the sky."

The Fourth Princess held her almost three-year-old daughter in her arms, thinking that her daughter's full moon banquet and one-year-old ceremony had also been held. However, compared with today's grand occasion, there was simply a world of difference. She felt very dissatisfied and thought that Jiang Fenghua was really lucky.

The Third Princess listened quietly, and no one knew what she was thinking. She already had three children, and since their father was out of favor and had a foot disease, she had no hope.

She was in charge of the entire household of the Third Prince's Mansion, but the ones she owed the most were her three children, whom she had never given any glory to.

This is the difference in status and identity. As soon as the crown prince is registered as the emperor, the crown princess' children will be transformed from imperial grandsons into imperial princes, while the princess' children can only become crown princes or compete for fame and rewards. It is truly the same person with different destinies.

However, the Third Princess had accepted her fate since the day she married the Third Prince. At this moment, she only heard a few complaints from the Fourth Princess and did not say a word.

Not as good as the best but better than the worst. The worst person is Luo Ziqiong, who has no children and is divorced. Although the emperor reluctantly conferred her the title of a county lady, what is the use? She has to enter the palace secretly and dares not even fight back when bullied.

At this time, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, along with the ladies of the Eastern Palace, also arrived at the table and inevitably went through another round of greetings and formalities.
