Chapter 912: Did the Queen also come to Huahu to catch an adulterer?
Aoxue frowned and said angrily, "Shuyan is now the daughter of Prince Kang, and she's considered a member of the royal family. She and Qin Yunyan are so close because they want to make a move. What do they want to do now?"
"Aren't there enough people in the royal family who are disloyal? None of them is easy to deal with." Jiang Fenghua sneered. Now she finally understood why the Great Zhou was so easily occupied by the Northern Xiao Kingdom. It was because the people of the Xie family were not united, and they were scheming against each other and fighting for power.
She then said to Aoxue, "Send someone to keep a close eye on them no matter what they want to do."
Aoxue was helpless and sighed, "The emperor values family ties the most, but they just have to go against the emperor and hurt his heart. The emperor has always worked very hard."
Aoxue felt a little sympathy for the emperor, as the emperor was now called in by King Kang to uphold justice.
Jiang Fenghua didn't say anything. It was because Xie Shang attached great importance to family affection that he allowed them to be more indulgent.
Aoxue said: "The emperor now has only the queen as a trusted relative. If the queen doesn't help His Majesty, no one will help him. The emperor has to deal with Prince Kang and Princess Kang alone.
Your Majesty, you didn't know that the Shenyin Camp was now going to deal with the Disha Sect. Mr. Gongsun and the other generals in the camp had tried every possible way to investigate the Disha Sect. They were hiding too deeply.
Jiang Fenghua's heart suddenly tightened. From the moment Xie Shang sat in that position, he had been prepared to face the wind and snow. She believed that he could handle it.
Jiang Fenghua now had no choice but to ask Aoxue to send people to keep an eye on Qin Yunyan and Shu Yan to see what tricks they were up to.
She guessed: It's nothing more than two stupid women teaming up to seduce Xie Shang. Qin Yunyan is trying so hard to seduce Xie Shang, she must be crazy to want to enter the palace! She thought she would sit on the position of imperial concubine like in her previous life?
Hongxiu walked to Jiang Fenghua and told him the outcome of the treatment of Prince Kang and Concubine Chang. As Jiang Fenghua expected, in the end Xie Shang asked Prince Kang to marry Chang Mingxiu as his concubine, and Concubine Kang naturally did not want to do that!
Xie Shang also said some high-sounding words, "Since the two are in love, Uncle Kang should marry her and bring her into the mansion so that they can be together legitimately."
He is really not good at being a peacemaker. Why hasn't Ruan Ruan come in yet?
Princess Kang's eyes widened in shock, completely enraged. "The Emperor said he didn't cover up anything and was impartial. How can you be an emperor like that?"
Xie Shang added, "I am considering that Aunt Wang has been serving Uncle Wang alone. She has worked hard over the years. The Prince Kang's Mansion is indeed too deserted. It would be more lively if there were more people."
He said this from a man's perspective. If Chang Mingxiu was not the concubine of the late emperor, Prince Kang would have taken her back home long ago.
Chang Mingxiu was naturally happy after hearing this. She didn't want to be a concubine dowager and lived as a widow for half her life. Now that she had left the palace, she didn't care how Xie Shang wanted to control Xie Kang. She would follow Prince Dingkang for the rest of her life.
Xie Yang did not publicly acknowledge Chang Mingxiu as his mother, but only said, "Wet nurse has served in the palace for all these years, and it has been hard for her. Now that Uncle Kang has taken care of her, I am relieved."
Xie Yang was almost ashamed when he said this. He actually let his mother take the initiative to be with another man.
Finally, Xie Shang said with a smile, "It is truly a joyous occasion that my uncle is marrying a concubine. I am very pleased. Let the Ministry of Rites take charge of it!"
King Kang didn't say a word during the whole process. He curled up like a turtle, neither denying nor agreeing. He was like a wooden man who had not been weaned, and only obeyed the emperor's orders.
Of course, he had no reason to object in his current situation.
Yue Zhi was so angry that she threatened to leave Shengjing and return to the northwest, angrily saying, "Since he wants to marry a concubine, I will leave."
Jiang Fenghua had just agreed with Xie Shang that one would play the good cop and the other the bad cop. Naturally, she would speak for "her own people", and at this time, Princess Kang was her own person.
She walked up to Princess Kang and pulled her aside, whispering, "Aunt Wang, don't be angry. If you really leave, won't that woman's trick fall into your trap? I watched the whole thing and it just felt a little strange."
Yue Shi was still angry. "She's riding on my head. How can I not be angry? The Queen has never encountered another woman seducing the Emperor, so of course she doesn't feel the same way."
Jiang Fenghua’s acting is also good. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She lowered her head, bit her lips, and suddenly became very quiet.
Yue Shi saw that she was silent and looked into her eyes, "Why are you crying?"
Jiang Fenghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pretending to be very happy, and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang's clothes are all wet, go change clothes first!"
She then asked Hongxiu to get her cloak and put it on Princess Kang.
Princess Kang was being carried away by two people, and she had to leave first. Fortunately, Jiang Fenghua had been prepared and said with concern: "Aunt Wang, my clothes can't fit into me, but fortunately, this cloak I brought with me can barely fit you. Although the weather is getting hotter, the lake water is still cold at night. Aunt Wang, you must take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."
She added, "Aunt Wang, please be patient. Women like us who marry into the royal family have a hard life. Go and ask around and find out which prince only married one woman into his mansion, and which one didn't have three wives and four concubines. Aunt Wang, don't get angry. It's not worth it to get yourself upset."
Hongxiu interrupted angrily, "Princess Kang, you don't know that just now the Emperor was playing the piano and singing with a wealthy merchant's daughter on a boat. He was so happy. My Empress's life is not much better than yours."
This matter was exposed by Hongxiu, and Jiang Fenghua quickly stopped her, "Shut up, how dare a servant like you gossip about the emperor?"
Hongxiu quickly shut up, "I know I was wrong."
The master and servant cooperated very well. Jiang Fenghua originally wanted to get closer to the Yue clan. The Yue clan and Xiao Shang were close, so she had to start with the Yue clan to understand the relationship between the northwestern natives and the Beixiao Kingdom. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you have a chance of winning.
Yuezhi then recalled that when she got on the boat just now, it seemed that a beautiful woman in white clothes and exquisite appearance got off the boat.
She took another look at the woman, who was dressed very beautifully.
She looked at Jiang Fenghua's attire again. It was plain and low-key. She asked, "Could it be that the Queen also came to Baihua Lake to catch an adulterer?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled faintly, "I'm used to it, Aunt Wang, don't be surprised. It's normal for a man to have as many women as he wants. Your Majesty is the emperor, and it's not too much to have three thousand beauties in the harem."
Women are like this. Once they find someone as miserable as them, or even worse off than them, they start to empathize with them.
Yue Zhi cursed, "All men are bad. The Queen is so beautiful, but the Emperor still keeps looking for other women."
"As the emperor, it's my duty." Jiang Fenghua said lightly.
The Yuezhi would definitely not allow Xie Kang to marry another woman, even if he became emperor.
