Chapter 322 - Qin Miaomiao’s petition and letter of resignation

The position of Duke of Qin was originally inherited by the line of the son-in-law of Qin Miaomiao because he was the founding father of the country. It was only because the son-in-law of Qin Miaomiao became the son-in-law that he gave the position of Duke to Qin Miaomiao’s grandfather.

After the Qin family rebelled, the Huilin Emperor ordered the son-in-law of Qin Miaomiao to look for another line in the clan to inherit the title of Duke of Qin Manor.

Later on, the Qin family kept making noise about this matter, and there was no conclusion for a long time.

It was almost the new year, so they had to finalize the dukedom of the Qin family. Qin Miaomiao had never thought that the son-in-law of the Qin family would inherit the dukedom of the Qin family.

The son-in-law of the Qin family didn’t have a son, and he didn’t have any descendants to inherit the dukedom.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the afternoon, another imperial edict came down, bestowing a blessing on Princess Qin Xiangxiang to inherit the property of the Qin family for the daughter of the Duke’s family..

If it wasn’t for the most reliable servant girl by her side who had heard the news, Qin Miaomiao would have thought that it was her own servant girl who was joking with her. “How is that possible? How is that possible?”

In the imperial court, a group of old ministers couldn’t sit still anymore. They all entered the palace to beg the Emperor to take back the order.

Lu Chen said bitterly, “In the past, the ancestor of the Qin family helped my great Tang to establish the country and made great contributions. Now that the title of the High Duke has no successor because of marrying the daughter of the Lu family, how can I face the martyrs and the ancestors?”

“Since there are already rules for women to inherit the family business, then it is not necessarily impossible for Qin Xiangxiang to become the daughter of the Duke’s public house. I can not disappoint the founding fathers!”

The old officials were actually speechless for a moment.

Hong Yang braced himself and said, “Your Majesty, now that Marquis an Yuan’s house is like cooking oil in a fire, if the prince consort of Qin inherits the position of Duke’s house, then wouldn’t the favor of the Qiao family be too much?”

Lu Chen said, “Marquis an Yuan’s manor is loyal to the monarch and loves the country. The men of the ancestors were sacrificed on the battlefield. Why not allow Marquis an Yuan’s manor to receive my favor?”

Hong Yang: Are you loyal to the monarch and loves the country for Marquis an Yuan’s manor? You are clearly doing it for the Empress!

However, Hong Yang did not dare to say these words.

Within marquis an Yuan’s manor.

Fu Lu received the imperial edict to become the daughter of the Crown Prince, but she was still baffled. She did not expect that one day, the position of Duke would be returned to her father and she would become the daughter of the crown prince.

Although the position of princess was one level higher than that of the daughter of the crown prince, the daughter of the crown prince sounded very domineering.

The corners of old Madam Qiao’s lips curled up slightly. Back then, she had thought so much, but she had only underestimated Lu Chen’s love for Qiao Jinniang.

It seemed that the Qiao family did not need to worry about making great contributions to shock the master.

“Since the princess has the position of crown prince, you must work hard to have more children in the future. The first one will be the grandson of our Qiao family.”

Old Madam Qiao said with a smile.

Zheng Xiao comforted old madam qiao, “Mother, surnamed Qiao and surnamed Qin are the same. Fu Lu and Lu’er are both so young. There will be many children in the future. You Don’t have to be anxious.”

After Qin Miaomiao brought the Lin family’s congratulatory gifts to Marquis an Yuan’s estate to congratulate them, she entered her small courtyard with Fu Lu.

Qin Miaomiao looked at the contents of the imperial edict word by word, his face deathly pale.

Fu Lu smiled and said, “You and I have fought for ten years, but in the end, the High Duke’s public house is still in my hands!”

After Fu Lu showed off, he saw that Qin Miaomiao’s expression was not right and said, “Sigh, what’s wrong with you? Forget it, forget it, I won’t laugh at you anymore.”

Qin Miaomiao sat on the wooden stool and a drop of tears fell. “Xiangxiang, what should I Do?”

Princess Fu Lu panicked and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Qin Miaomiao had always been proud. When the Qin family was in trouble, she had never cried. When her brother was sentenced to death, she had never shed a tear.

Qin Miaomiao’s tears kept falling as she said, “If the son-in-law of the Qin family is the High Duke, that also means that the son-in-law has military power. What about Lin Mo? Lin Mo is only a civil official. If even the High Duke can be the son-in-law, why can’t Lin Mo? Do you think I will be divorced?”

Princess Fu Lu thought about it carefully. “No Wonder I suddenly gave my father the position of High Duke. So it was to pave the way for cousin Jinghua and Lin Mo!”

“If Lin Mo can be together with Princess Jinghua openly, what right do I have to sit firmly in the position of Lady Xiao Lin?”Qin Miaomiao said as tears fell.

Princess Fu Lu advised Qin Miaomiao, “You are the main wife that Lin Mo carried the palanquin to marry into the family. If he dares to divorce you, I will be the first to not forgive him! Don’t worry, if Lin Mo wants to marry cousin Jinghua, he will have to settle you down first.”

Qin Miaomiao’s hands were as cold as ice, and he sighed lightly, “Sigh.”

When he went out, he coincidentally bumped into Qiao Ruoyi who was returning to the Hou mansion. Because it was going to be the New Year for you.

The West Mountain Academy rested for more than half a month before Qiao Ruoyi returned to the Marquis’mansion.

When Qiao Ruoyi saw Qin Miaomiao, she advised her, “Sister Miaomiao, I heard that His Majesty has issued two new imperial edicts today. Are you sure you don’t want to consider participating in the imperial examinations?

“It’s better to beg others than to beg yourself. Why Don’t you participate in the imperial examinations in the name of the West Mountain Academy? With your literary talent and talent, you might be able to become a scholar!”

Qin Miaomiao looked at the light in Qiao Ruoyi’s eyes and thought for a moment before replying, “Alright!”

..

In the residence of eldest Princess Jing Hua.

Lin Mo informed Jing Hua of the two imperial edicts that had been issued today, “The prince consort of Qin has become the Duke once again. Fu Lu is the daughter of the crown prince. Although there are objections in the imperial court, they have all agreed.”

Jing Hua looked at Lin Mo and said, “Don’t be happy too early. Have you thought of a way out for Qin Miaomiao? She is now a helpless woman. You need to take good care of her.”

Lin Mo replied, “Yes.”

Jing Hua looked at the palace. “I didn’t expect that the Empress would really do it.”

“Empress?”Lin Mo asked Jing hua, “Is this related to the Empress?”

Jing hua nodded slightly and said, “How could I have such a close relationship with his majesty? To have him change the rules of the ancestors for me to offend the officials and plan this? It was the Empress who agreed to help me.”

Lin Mo:”...”

He actually thought that His Majesty was planning this for him. It seemed like he was overestimating himself.

Jing Hua said to Lin Mo, “We owe the empress a huge favor...”

“Your Royal Highness the eldest Princess, Madam Lin has come to pay her respects. She says that she wants to meet young master Lin.”

Jing hua said, “Let her in.”

Qin Miaomiao walked in and bowed. “Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Right Prime Minister.”

Eldest Princess Jing Hua said to Qin miaomiao, “It’s rare for you to come to my residence. Please take a seat.”

Qin Miaomiao did not sit down and said, “I came here rashly because right prime minister does not often return to the Lin residence. I want to ask right prime minister to give me a letter to release my wife and Divorce Me.”

Lin Mo replied, “Okay, but you are only an orphan girl now. After you receive the letter to release your wife, do you have a place to go?”

Eldest princess jing hua said, “If you don’t mind, you can come to my residence and become a third-grade female official. You can also have a place to settle down in Chang ‘an. When that time comes, you can also slowly find a good marriage.”

Qin Miao said, “Today, I met Qiao Ruoyi.”

Lin Mo did not know who Qiao Ruoyi was.

Jing Hua had heard some things about Qiao Ruoyi’s reputation. “Is she the Empress’s stepsister?”

Qin Miao replied, “It’s her. Qiao Ruoyi is two years younger than me. In the past, although she was talented and famous, her eyes were always dull. Today, I saw that she was in high spirits, not because she was the daughter of the Queen’s sister, an yuanhou, but because she was the mountain chieftain of the West Mountain Academy.

She had been writing to me, inviting me to participate in the imperial examinations and to go to the West Mountain Academy. However, I felt that it would be better to marry a high-ranking official and be courted by everyone in Chang ‘an.

But seeing her today, I realized that I could have such glory by myself.

You Don’t have to worry about where I am going. I can settle down in the West Mountain Academy in the future.”
