Chapter 136: Your Highness, do you think you are extremely lenient?
The queen pondered for a moment and nodded. So, this is the case.
"You are pitiful too." The queen looked at Liu Mingyue deeply, and for a moment she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Liu Mingyue smiled and said, pitiful? She is not pitiful in this life, but she was truly pitiful and innocent in her previous life.
"I am grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty. Although the Marquis's Mansion is rich and luxurious, this is not what I want. If Your Majesty can nod and agree to my divorce with His Highness, it would be like a rebirth for me. I am grateful."
Liu Mingyue's words could not be more sincere. The Queen had been in the palace for a long time and she always liked sincere people.
"Not long ago, the ladies of honor came to the palace to pay their respects, and I heard about this matter." The queen hesitated and did not continue.
When the Queen knew that Zhou Baili, the most beautiful woman in the capital, had entered the Marquis's residence as a concubine, she immediately thought of the ugly Liu Mingyue.
Most men and women like physical beauty. Zhou Baili is the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family and she is also beautiful. How can Liu Mingyue have an easy life? As the emperor's wife, the queen hates the most that the emperor favors concubines over his wife, which is a disregard for etiquette.
Even though the current emperor has countless concubines in his harem, he still has to give face to his wife. Even after Concubine Rong came out of the cold palace, she was still favored because she was as beautiful as before. The emperor never embarrassed the empress by favoring the concubine too much.
"When the prince of Dingbei was young, he was raised in the palace for half a year. Unexpectedly, he did not remember the teachings of the Grand Tutor. Your Majesty still knows to take his wife's face into consideration, but he, a prince of a marquisate, does not know the rules."
The Queen was not one to meddle in other people's affairs. Having said so much, she had given all the advice she needed to give and there was nothing more to say.
"I understand. You go to the Ministry of Rites to handle the procedures for removing the jade book. You can take these back with you as a small gift from me." The queen raised her hand and the maid beside her handed Liu Mingyue a box.
Liu Mingyue took the box, thanked the Queen, and left Weiyang Palace.
"My lady, I have seen that although the Crown Prince's wife is not very thin, she looks a little smaller."
The maid returned to the queen and followed her gaze towards Liu Mingyue who was walking away.
"I have been in the harem for many years, and I can tell at a glance that she did not have a good life in the past. The status of the Marquis's Consort is indeed respectable for ordinary people. She can distinguish herself clearly, which makes me admire her."
The queen supported her forehead with her hand, thinking of the face of the wife of Marquis Dingbei, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes.
No wonder the Dingbei Marquis Mansion is beginning to decline. No matter the elders or the younger generations, none of them have any sense of rules and vision.
Liu Mingyue is already the prince's consort of the Marquis's Mansion. If they neglect the future mistress, they would only be losing face.
After leaving the harem and walking all the way to the Imperial Garden, Liu Mingyue and Tan Zhuoyan met in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.
Seeing Liu Mingyue holding a box of jewelry, Tan Zhuoyan asked nervously: "What did the Queen say? Are you playing tricks in front of the Queen? Didn't the Queen agree to the divorce?"
He looked anxious, and it seemed that if the Queen really didn't agree, he would get angry with Liu Mingyue.
Liu Mingyue held the reward from the Queen and said speechlessly, "The Queen gave me jewelry because she is kind and compassionate. As for the divorce, the Queen has nodded. Let's go, Your Highness."
Liu Mingyue didn't know where the Ministry of Rites was, so he could only wait for Qin Zhuoyan to leave first and let him lead the way.
The two of them came to the Ministry of Rites and explained their purpose to the Minister of Rites, and also said that they had already gone to the palace to ask the Emperor and Empress, who had both agreed to their divorce.
No one would do such a stupid thing as forging the imperial and empress's decree for the sake of divorce, so the Minister of Rites took out the jade book, removed Liu Mingyue's name in front of the two of them, and took back the jade seal of the Princess of Dingbei.
The jade seal was handed over, and the two divorced. Even if the dust settled, from then on, there was no connection between Tan Zhuoyan and Liu Mingyue. The moment the jade seal of the Crown Prince's Consort was handed over, the breath that was stuck in Liu Mingyue's heart was finally released.
Finally...
Liu Mingyue glanced at her empty hands, which still seemed to be as cold as jade, but she never wanted to touch this thing again in her life. From now on, it would be best if she had no further connection with it.
"Well, this evil relationship is finally over." On the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion, Tan Zhuoyan sat upright, glancing at Liu Mingyue intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Highness and I share the same idea." Liu Mingyue held the box of jewelry given by the Queen, regretting accepting the reward. She owed the Queen a favor. Chi Hongyuan was fighting at the border, and with his talent, he would surely gain fame and honor, and return with glory.
Concubine Rong and the Queen will inevitably stand on opposite sides in the near future, which will be difficult for her.
This kindness is not acceptable to everyone. If you accept the Queen's kindness today, you will inevitably have to repay it in the future. She lowered her head listlessly, looking like she was worried about something. Tan Zhuoyan thought that Liu Mingyue was sad about the divorce.
Qin Zhuoyan pulled the corner of her mouth in disdain, thinking that her previous indifference was really just pretending. For a long time afterwards, he still needed Bai Ziyu to help him heal his legs. The genius doctor owed Liu Mingyue a favor, so his attitude towards Liu Mingyue should be gentle and not too harsh and ruthless.
Thinking of this, Tan Zhuoyan coughed lightly, raised her chin, and said arrogantly: "This prince also knows that abandoned women are in a difficult situation. In view of your help in introducing me to the miracle doctor, the Marquis' Mansion can temporarily take you in for a period of time."
The thoughtful Liu Mingyue raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the person in front of him with amusement. Qin Zhuoyan was not a grateful person. If he could have some gratitude in mind, Liu Mingyue in the previous life would not have died tragically in the fire.
He Lilin was merciful only because he didn't want to offend him and was worried that Bai Ziyu would be unwilling to help him treat his leg.
Listening to what he said, it seemed that allowing her to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few more days was out of kindness on his part. Otherwise, where would she go?
Seeing Liu Mingyue looking straight at her, Qin Zhuoyan immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand what I mean. I just feel sorry for you, so I let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few more days. Once you find a place to live, you can move out immediately."
After Qin Zhuoyan finished speaking, he felt that he was really kind. Even though Liu Mingyue had no talent or virtue, he still treated her well.
Liu Mingyue's biological mother was dead, and she was just an adopted daughter of the Zhou family. After becoming an abandoned woman of the Marquis's family, she could not return to the Zhou family. In addition, Tan Zhuoyan heard that Liu Mingyue relied on her status as the Crown Prince's Consort to offend everyone in the Zhou family.
"Your Highness, do you think you are extremely kind and tolerant?" Liu Mingyue asked in a ridiculous tone.
"That's right, but I can only help you up to this point. You have to find a place to live by yourself. Don't expect me to help you with everything!"
Qin Zhuoyan gave Liu Mingyue a look that said "no way", as if Liu Mingyue had shamelessly begged him.
