Jing Hua looked at Qin Miao guiltily. “It’s good if you want to go to West Mountain Academy. If anyone dares to bully you and gossip about you in Chang ‘an in the future, you can come to me!”
Qin Miao smiled and said, “Then in the future, I’ll have to rely on her highness the eldest princess.”
Jing Hua ordered someone to take the land deed and gave it to Qin Miao. “This is Chang ‘an’s house, right next to your original Qin family’s. You can also keep the land deed for these shops.”
Jing Hua could afford to raise so many heads, so she naturally did not lack money. To Jing Hua, this was just a drop in the bucket.
Qin Miao did not decline and thanked her. “Thank you for the reward, Princess.”
Lin Mo also took out some of his private property and gave it to Qin Miao. “I told you that you are my sister. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Lin residence to look for me.”
Qin Miao smiled at Lin Mo. “Alright, brother, sister-in-law.”
After Qin Miao left, Jing Hua said to Lin Mo, “She’s an extremely intelligent person.”
Taking the initiative to attack had caused her and Lin Mo to feel guilty. If she were to encounter any difficulties in the future, neither she nor Lin Mo could turn a blind eye.
Lin Mo said, “That’s right. If she were to enter the officialdom, she would be like a fish in the water and rise to the top. It’s just that she’s too clear-headed, and she’s also a pitiful person.”
“Does Your Heart Ache?”Jing hua raised her phoenix-like eyes and asked Lin Mo. .
Lin Mo smiled and said, “Are you still jealous? I just hope that she can be happy. This is also Siming’s last wish.”
Jing hua said, “She’s too smart. Ever since she was young, she saw the pain of her mother’s wives and concubines in the High Duke’s public house. She’s very good at talking about feelings. Perhaps she had a throbbing feeling towards siming when she was a young girl.
Unfortunately, Siming has passed away. I hope that she can meet someone who cherishes her more than Zhou Siming.”
..
Lin Youxiang and his wife parted ways. Many people in Chang ‘an wanted to go and see Qin Miaomiao when they heard this.
Some of the young sisters who grew up together were afraid that Qin Miaomiao would be helpless and had no one to help her. Some were just there to watch a joke..
However, it was as if Qin Miaomiao had disappeared in Chang ‘an. She did not attend banquets or go out on the streets. No one could find where she had gone.
When old madam Yue heard about this, she only said it was a pity.
Before the New Year, two more imperial edicts were issued. One was for Lin Mo and the eldest princess of Jinghua to be married.
The other was for His Majesty to ascend the throne and start the enlistment ceremony at the beginning of March next year.
The first imperial edict naturally caused the censorate to unanimously oppose it. They said that powerful officials were not allowed to marry the eldest princess and so on. It was as if Lin Mo had married the eldest princess of Jinghua and wanted to destroy the country.
However, with the example of the Qin prince consort inheriting the High Duke’s public house.
Lin Mo’s current status was not comparable to the position of the High Duke who had military power.
Moreover, what powerful ministers were not allowed to marry the princess did not hold any ground.
Moreover, Prime Minister Lin already had some face among the old ministers. The old ministers caused a few ruckus.
Prime Minister Lin’s personal visit showed that Lin Mo indeed had deep feelings for the princess. The displeased voices of the old ministers gradually died down.
Within the Lin Manor.
Madam Lin, however, said with a stern face, “Master, you’re muddle-headed! Jinghua’s manor has a total of twenty male pets. If Mo’er were to marry her, she would be cuckolded every day. Would she be able to call those men her brothers?”
Prime minister Lin said, “That’s enough! If it wasn’t for you threatening Mo’er with your death back then, perhaps our grandson would be as old as the crown prince. Now that this is His Majesty’s imperial edict, would our Lin family still be able to disobey it?”
Madam Lin said, “Without you bringing down your old face, would those imperial censorates be willing to let this go? The eldest princess of Jinghua has 20 male lovers. By then, you won’t even know if your grandson is really from our Lin Family!”
Prime Minister Lin saw that Madam Lin’s words were getting more and more outrageous, so he said, “You can say it louder. You can say it so that everyone in Chang ‘an knows that you’re disrespectful to the Princess!”
Madam Lin said tearfully, “Isn’t my heart aching for My Mo’er? How can the prince consort be so easy to do?”
Jing Hua stood at the entrance of the Lin residence and looked at Lin Mo by the side. She let go of his hand that was holding hers.
She originally wanted to send the Lin family to meet Lin Mo’s parents, but it turned out that she was such a person in front of Madam Lin.
Lin Mo held Jing Hua’s hand again and said, “I know that you’re innocent with those people from the capital.”
Jing hua said, “Although nothing happened between us, I will not let them leave after we get married. They are willing to stay in the Princess’residence. I will let them stay in the Princess’residence for the rest of their lives.”
Lin Mo frowned slightly, but he did not object. “As long as you don’t touch them, I can tolerate them.”
If he really could not tolerate them, he would just wait until they reached the princess’residence before chasing them away one by one.
Madam Lin and Prime Minister Lin were arguing fiercely inside.
Prime Minister Lin was so angry that he went out to meet Jing Hua and Lin Mo. he bowed repeatedly and said, “I didn’t know that the eldest princess had arrived. Sorry for not welcoming you.”
Madam Lin, who was inside, could only wipe away her tears when she heard this and went out to welcome them.
Jing hua said, “There’s no need to be so polite. After all, we’ll be a family in a few months.”
When Mrs. Lin heard the words ‘family’, she felt extremely stifled. She was originally happy to celebrate the New Year, but Mrs. Lin did not have any thoughts at all.
On New Year’s Eve, there was a family banquet in the palace. After Lu Chen ascended the throne, the concubines of the Hui Lin Emperor did not move. After all, there was only Lady Qiao in the harem now.
However, it was inappropriate for the imperial concubines to stay in those palaces all the time.
On New Year’s Eve, Lady Qiao, dressed in a light palace uniform, summoned all the imperial concubines.
“Imperial concubines, today is New Year’s Eve. I also have something to tell you.”
Holding the small heater in her hand, lady jian asked, “Is it for the relocation?”
Lady Qiao smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. I have also asked His Majesty’s opinion. I’m afraid that Father will not return to the palace for the next few years while he is traveling.”
One of the imperial concubines also laughed and said, “Your Highness, you must be joking. What difference does it make whether retired emperor is in the palace or not?”
Many of the concubines of the Hui Lin Emperor Sighed. How Long Empress Zhou was in the palace, how long they would be alone in the empty boudoir.
Qiao Jinniang felt a little awkward and said, “King Lu, King Qi, and King Chu have both written to show their filial piety to the imperial concubines. I wonder if mother Jian and the others are willing to go to the mansions of the Royal Brothers?”
The concubines with children were all very happy and agreed.
Who wouldn’t be happy if they could share the joy of family with their son?
Qiao Jin continued, “There are also beautiful mothers and their nephews who have written a letter to take all the mothers and concubines back to their families. I wonder if all the mothers and concubines would be willing to go back to their families?”
The concubines without children looked at each other. They were not young anymore and staying in the palace would only be a waste of time.
If they could go back to their parents’home, they would at least have the title of concubines, and they would be given a share in the palace. When they went back to their parents’home, they would naturally be praised.
This could be considered a good thing.
They all agreed.
Qiao Jinniang never thought that it would be so easy for these concubines to leave the palace.
After the New Year’s Eve, these concubines ordered people to pack up their things and go to their sons’home, and go back to their parents’home.
In order to show her filial piety to Lu Chen, Qiao Jinniang took a lot of things from the storeroom and gave them gifts.
The King of Qi and the king of Chu almost cried when they saw their mother-in-law. Finally, someone came to rule over the female tigers in the manor..
Little did they know that their mother-in-law had been neglected in the palace for more than twenty years. Seeing that their daughter-in-law did not want to seize power in the manor and was content to play with their grandchildren, wouldn’t it be better for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be harmonious?
