Chapter 320: Chapter 320, absurd matchmaking

Madam Lin hurriedly ordered someone to open the main gate of the Lin residence to welcome eldest Princess Jing Hua.

Madam Lin was extremely displeased with eldest Princess Jing Hua.

Back then, before the Emperor had pointed out Jing Hua to Yue Zhan, Lin Mo had gone crazy and wanted to destroy the Lin family’s future and marry Jing Hua.

Over the years, the two of them had been entangled until now. People of the same age as Lin Mo already had sons and daughters. However, after Lin Mo got married, he did not consummate the marriage... who knew when he would be able to hold onto a grandchild.

However, no matter how displeased she was, she was the emperor’s sister, the eldest princess of the imperial court. Madam Lin could only respectfully greet her.

Qin Miaomiao followed behind Madam Lin and went to the door to welcome eldest Princess Jing Hua in.

Jing Hua went into the hall and received the tea that Madam Lin personally served. She went straight to the point and told her the purpose of her visit today:

“Madam Lin, I am here today because I have been entrusted by someone to act as a matchmaker.”

Madam Lin thought about the young masters and young ladies in the residence who were not of the age to be married. She asked in puzzlement, “Oh? I wonder who the Princess is here to act as a matchmaker for.”

“Yue Zhan, the envoy from Longxi. Yue Zhan has made outstanding military achievements. He is from an aristocratic family of martial generals and is now highly valued by his majesty. What do you think of this person, Madam Lin?”

Jing Hua took a sip of tea.

Madam Lin frowned. Jing Hua had actually come to matchmake her ex-husband?

“Your highness, Jiedushi Yue is naturally a dragon and Phoenix among men. I only hate that I don’t have a daughter’s life. Otherwise, I would definitely make Jiedushi Yue the son-in-law of the Lin family.”

Qin Miaomiao pondered over Madam Lin’s words and only smiled softly in the dark. She did not understand what the eldest princess Jing Hua meant by matchmaking her ex-husband in the home of her current lover?

Jing hua put down her teacup and gestured for Qin Miaomiao to come forward. She held Qin Miaomiao’s hand and said, “Madam Yue has taken a fancy to Miaomiao and wants me to be the daughter-in-law of the Yue family!”

“Ridiculous!”Madam Lin said angrily, “Your Highness, even if you are the emperor’s biological sister, you have to pay attention to etiquette. How can our Lin family be such a ridiculous family?”

Initially, she thought that it was ridiculous enough for Jing Hua to be the matchmaker for the Lin family’s daughter-in-law.

She did not expect that she would actually be a matchmaker for the Lin family’s daughter-in-law!

Madam Lin would not agree to it. She said with a straight face, “Your Royal Highness is a Golden Twig and jade leaf. Our Lin family can not afford to entertain her. Someone, send the guest out!”

Jing Hua did not expect that Madam Lin would actually chase her out of the door. The servant girl was a little hesitant, but she did not dare to disobey madam Lin. She asked Jing Hua to leave.

Qin Miaomiao said to madam Lin, “Mother, don’t be angry. After all, she is the eldest princess. If you act like this... I’m afraid you will attract the blame of the palace...”

Madam Lin was so angry that her face turned black. She said, “Even the emperor’s sister has to pay attention to etiquette. How can a matchmaker be a matchmaker for another family’s daughter-in-law?”

Qin miaomiao comforted her, “Mother, don’t be angry. Your Health is more important. I will go to the palace and apologize to the empress for this matter.”

Madam Lin Patted Qin Miaomiao’s hand and said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

..

Qin Miaomiao went to the Changle Palace the next day.

Lady Qiao Jin had just summoned all the female officials of the Shang Palace. When she heard that Qin Miaomiao had come to pay her respects, she ordered someone to summon her into the palace.

The matter of Jing Hua going to the forest estate yesterday was not a glorious matter after all. Outsiders did not know much about it.

After Qin Miaomiao bowed, he said, “Yesterday, eldest Princess Jing Hua came to the forest estate to matchmake a marriage proposal. My mother was angry at how disrespectful she was to the eldest princess. I hope the Empress can bear with it.”

Lady Qiao asked curiously, “Propose marriage?”

Qin Miaomiao lowered his head and said, “Madam Yue asked her highness the eldest princess to propose marriage to me. Since ancient times, no one has gone to the in-laws’house to propose marriage to their daughter-in-law. My mother was angry yesterday and offended her highness the princess...”

Lady Qiao was surprised. “Is madam Yue Yue Zhan’s mother?”

Qin Miaomiao nodded.

Qiao Jin:”...”

No wonder the well-mannered madam Lin was disrespectful to the eldest princess. To propose marriage on behalf of her ex-husband and her lover’s current wife, royal sister Jinhua sure is bold.”

“What do you think?”Qiao Jin asked Qin Miaomiao.

Qin miaomiao said, “My mother was indeed disrespectful to the princess, but there is a reason for it. Please forgive her.”

Lady Qiao Jin smiled slightly and said, “That’s not what I meant. I wanted to ask you, what do you think about the matter of Madam Yue proposing to you? Yue Zhan has outstanding military merits and is from a military family. He is also a good husband.”

Qin Miaomiao pursed his lips and said, “To me, marrying Lin Mo and marrying Yue Zhan are the same. Both of them only have Princess Jing Hua in their hearts. If they stay and be madam Xiao Lin, at least they can enjoy the prosperity of Chang ‘an.”

Lady Qiao Jin appreciated Qin Miaomiao’s sobriety, but sometimes she felt that she was too clear-headed.

Lady Qiao Jin said, “It is indeed inappropriate for the royal sister to act as a matchmaker for Mrs. Yue. There is a reason for Mrs. Lin’s disrespect. The royal family will not blame her for being disrespectful.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness.”Qin Miaomiao was relieved when he heard that.

..

In the Yue family.

Yue Zhan asked old madam Yue angrily, “Your Highness, I know you don’t like Jing Hua, but she has been with me for a long time. Why do you still want to deal with her? Let Her go to the Lin family and humiliate her princess?”

Old Madam Yue smashed her walking stick on the ground and said, “You know that you have been with Li for many years. Not to mention that she never treated you as her husband when you got married, but it has been almost five years now, and you are almost thirty years old..

You still haven’t gotten married, and I dare not close my eyes!”

Yue Zhan frowned and said, “Mother, didn’t I promise you that I would marry a noble daughter of Chang ‘an? It’s just that those noble daughters of Chang ‘an are not willing to marry me.”

Old Madam Yue sighed and said, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you deliberately said among those noble daughters of Chang ‘an that you killed without batting an eye, and even said that you scared princess fu an unconscious!”

Yue Zhan said, “Mother! That was what Qin Miaomiao said. Since my son promised you that he would marry a Chang ‘an lady, he naturally kept his word.

It was Qin Miaomiao who told the public in King Rong’s residence that his son scared princess fu an unconscious, causing those ladies to not dare to approach me. Yet, you asked Jing Hua to go to the Lin family to propose marriage!”

Old madam Yue said, “I heard from Zhu’er that Miaomiao even said that you were a peerless hero. At that time, she said that you scared princess fu an unconscious. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding!

Lin Mo stole your wife. Are you willing to be a tortoise? Snatching his wife now won’t make people laugh at you!”

Yue Zhan:”...”

Perhaps snatching his wife would make everyone in Chang ‘an laugh at him.

Moreover, he was afraid that a woman like Qin Miaomiao wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.

“Anyway, you should stay out of my son’s marriage in the future. Don’t ever go to other people’s houses to ask their daughter-in-law for Marriage!”

After Yue Zhan left, old madam yue sighed and said, “Sigh, how did I give birth to such an ingrate! What’s so good about Jing Hua that he still can’t forget about it?”

Many people said that Jing Hua was appointed by the Hui Lin Emperor to marry Yue Zhan in order to win him over.

Actually, old madam Yue knew that at that time, Yue Zhan had risked the world’s condemnation.

When she handed over the evidence of the Long Xi King’s Rebellion to the emperor, she did not forget to ask for the eldest princess of Jing Hua’s hand in marriage.

It was considered as coercion. At that time, the Hui Lin Emperor had some use for Yue Zhan, so how could he not agree to his request to marry her?

Fortunately, the Hui Lin Emperor did not take this coercion to heart. Otherwise, the Yue family would probably suffer a reckoning.

If Jinghua was interested in Yue Zhan, old madam Yue would also rather the Yue family not have military power. She would rather her son and the Qin Fuma be like the little prince consort who lived off his wife, as long as her son was happy.

Unfortunately, Jing Hua had never had a heart for Yue Zhan!
