Chapter 307 - , helping Princess Jinhua
Qiao Ruoyi handed in the invitation early in the morning and entered the Changle Palace. While Qiao Jinniang was having breakfast, she was only paying attention to Qiao ruoyi’s scolding. “The eldest princess and Lin Mo are too inhuman. Yesterday, Lin Mo got married, and they were actually in my room……”Qiao Ruoyi was after all a little girl. Her face was red as she continued to say indignantly, “My sage books are all dirty to death!” “I wish I could burn everything in my room and throw it away. Sister, why do you think all men are so unlucky? It’s already pitiful enough that sister Miao Miao’s only daughter was implicated by her father and brother. “On the day of the wedding, Lin Mo actually bullied her like this and destroyed my sage books in the land of Sages!” Qiao Jinniang put down the spoon and said, “Jing Hua’s actions were extremely stupid. She is the grand eldest princess after all. How could she be so self-depraved?” What Jing Hua did was too beneath the status of a princess. She was just a man. Now, as the Grand Princess, she was serving the same husband as Qin Miaomiao. She did not even have a status. However, this was not the first time that this had happened to Princess Datang. The late Emperor had an older sister who had an affair with half of the court officials. The wife of the court officials who had a strong personality even went to Emperor Taizong’s place because of this. The history books described that princess extremely unbearably…… Qiao ruoyi replied, “Yes, Princess Jing Hua has gone too far.” Qiao Jinniang ordered someone to invite Jing Hua over. Jing hua only rushed into the Changle Palace after two hours. “What orders does the empress have for me to come here?” Qiao jinniang said, “I shouldn’t have said anything about elder sister’s personal matters. It’s just that we are still a family after all. I really can’t bear to see elder sister continue to take the wrong path. Sister is a high and mighty princess. Why should she be willing to degenerate into an outer chamber that everyone curses?” Jing hua bowed and said, “I’m clear about the Empress’teachings. It’s just that the Empress doesn’t know that Lin Mo and I have a deep relationship. If we could be together openly, we wouldn’t be like this……” “What in the world can’t be together openly? Speaking of which, there are things that we can’t part with!” Qiao jinniang said accurately, “Since there are things that we can’t part with, it means that it’s not the most important thing in each other’s hearts.” Jing hua said, “There are indeed some things that we can’t part with. Empress, don’t be angry. If your daughter falls in love with a man whose entire family depends on him in the future, but can’t be together forever, what will you do?” Lady Qiao Jin frowned slightly. Jing hua said, “It wasn’t Lin Mo and I who were at fault. It was the rules of the great Tang dynasty towards the princesses. It was the extreme injustice of this world towards women.” Lady Qiao Jin took a sip of tea calmly. Jing hua said, “Why did father abdicate the throne to His Majesty? Does the empress know the reason?”? “Father is still in his prime. Although he has Chen Ji, he might be able to handle the affairs of the country and abdicate the throne.” Qiao Jinniang looked at Jing Hua and asked, “Do you know the reason?” Jing hua said, “Before father abdicated the throne, all the officials had been urging his majesty to take in concubines. Even father can’t break the rule of the only empress in the six palaces, so he might as well give his majesty a headache.”. But the Empress felt that how long would his majesty be able to last with the only empress in the six palaces? These officials had temporarily stopped. Perhaps in a few days, the old matters would be brought up again. Not to mention that we princesses were destined to sacrifice a happy marriage from birth. The rules of the royal family can not be changed just like that!” “It’s not necessarily that they are destined to sacrifice at birth. Didn’t the Qin Prince Consort and Aunt Shou an also have a deep love for each other?” Qiao Jinniang asked. Jing hua said, “Man Datang only had such a pair. It was also because Aunt Shou an was favored that the Qin prince consort was willing to be Aunt Shou an’s slave.”. “Sometimes, I wonder if Aunt Shou an really loved the prince consort of Qin all those years ago? “If she really loved him, why would she be willing to sacrifice her husband’s bright future for her?” A tear fell from the corner of Jing Hua’s eyes as she said, “I know that I will let Qin Miao down by doing this, but I really have no other choice. Empress, I have liked Lin Mo for a whole fifteen years……” “How can you give up just like that? Sometimes, I’d rather die in Longxi. It’s better this way.” Qiao jinniang said unhappily, “Royal sister, please don’t think of such a silly thing. I don’t want to blame you either. I just feel sorry for you. Just as you said, I also want to have a daughter. “What you’re experiencing now may also be what my daughter will experience in the future. I want to help you.” When Jing Hua heard Qiao Jinniang’s last few words, she looked at her in disbelief. “You’re really willing to help me? Do you know what that means? How can you change the rules that great-grandfather left behind just because you say so?” Qiao jinniang said slowly, “Why can’t you give it a try? Imperial sister is already willing to be the mistress that everyone wants to beat up. Why Don’t you marry Lin Mo in the name of Justice and fulfill your long-cherished wish?” Jing hua said, “But what can I do? No matter how much His Majesty dotes on you, he might not be able to change the rules set by the great ancestor.” Qiao jinniang said, “There will always be a way.” Although Qiao Jinniang might not be able to guarantee this, she could only think of a way to get out. After all, perhaps it was just as Fu Lu had said, which princess would be willing to reincarnate in such a miserable situation? To help Jing Hua was to help her future daughter, or perhaps her future granddaughter…… Lu Chen left the morning court and went to Changle Palace to deal with political affairs. Qiao Jinniang told Lu Chen about what had happened last night on the West Mountain. “Sigh, what can we do to make the royal sister and Lin Mo be together openly, and Lin Mo doesn’t have to resign?” Lu Chen heard this and said, “Jin Niang, this is not a matter between the royal sister and Lin Mo, but a rule from the great ancestor. The great ancestor set this rule because, most importantly, during the previous dynasty, the Princess conspired with the prince consort to rebel with the great ancestor.” “The Sui dynasty changed the dynasty because the Prince Consort married the princess and successfully rebelled. Then, although the chaos was reversed, the Sui dynasty’s fate was already over…… It didn’t take long for it to become great Tang’s world.” Qiao jinniang frowned and said, “The Royal Highness can also marry a high-ranking princess, why not ban the family background of the princess as well? In the end, it’s not because he’s afraid of the princess rebelling. When the time comes, the country will change the surname of another family!” Lu Chen replied, “When the great ancestor set the decree, he did have this concern.” Qiao jinniang sighed and said, “But if the rebellion is really successful, it must be when the emperor is unkind. Only when the people have no means of livelihood can the rebellion succeed.”. “Some time ago, when King Huai conspired against the emperor, it was just a joke in the end. Because the people were happy, only a few people who were greedy for wealth would become king Huai’s henchmen.”. “But the crime of treason was blamed on the princess marrying a powerful prince consort. It was not blamed on the previous emperor for being unkind. Sigh.”
