"Of course the emperor is not a person who values beauty, but the emperor still loves his concubine, right? Can the emperor have the heart not to agree to this small request of my concubine?" Qin Zhao threw himself into Xiao Ce's arms again.
With Xiao Ce's old-fashioned temperament and being an emperor, it would be really difficult for him to issue an imperial edict for Zhuang Qing to divorce her husband, but she felt that if she tempered him until he couldn't stand it anymore, he would still agree.
Xiao Ce looked at the woman who was diving straight into his arms and felt helpless: "Zhaozhao, this is not child's play..."
"Of course it's not a child's play. Qing'er's divorce is an earth-shattering event, and it involves a woman's second half of her life. It's really difficult for Qing'er to make such a decision, just like when I decided to divorce Mr. Zhao.
It's an equally difficult choice." Qin Zhao said seriously.
She didn't like to mention Zhao Yu in front of Xiao Ce because she knew it was not good.
No man wants his ex-wife to still remember her ex-husband, and Xiao Ce is certainly no exception.
But when necessary, she still had to remind Xiao Ce that she had been married before and that she had an unhappy marriage.
Xiao Ce frowned slightly when he heard Zhao Yu's name. He remembered that when he first met Qin Zhao, she was Zhao Yu's first wife.
"I am lucky enough to meet the emperor, so I am lucky enough to be able to escape from the sea of misery. Qing'er is not as lucky as I am, but as Qing'er's friend, I hope to do something for Qing'er. Your Majesty is Qing'er
My son's cousin, my cousin is being bullied, shouldn't I do something?" Qin Zhao added sincerely.
Xiao Ce was silent for a long time, and was finally defeated.
Even though Qin Zhao had a thousand reasons, all of which were very attractive, they were not enough for him to issue an imperial edict to divorce Zhuang Qing.
Just because Qin Zhao came to beg him, Qin Zhao rarely begged him. If he did ask, it must be because she cared about her very much, and he didn't want to see her disappointed.
"That's all, it's up to you."
As soon as Xiao Ce opened his mouth, Qin Zhao jumped up excitedly.
She kissed Xiao Ce hard on the face: "The emperor treats me the best. I know that the emperor will promise me."
Xiao Ce looked at her helplessly: "Okay, okay, just listen to what you have to say."
Qin Zhao was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear: "Then your Majesty, hurry up and issue the decree. I can't wait to see Fan Yuan's stupidity when he is divorced..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ce looked over: "What do you mean?"
Qin Zhao chuckled: "Can I, my concubine, come out of the palace and read out this imperial edict in person?"
Xiao Ce sneered back at her: "No!"
Under Xiao Ce's glare, Qin Zhao felt that the overall situation should be the most important thing. The top priority was to make Zhuang Qingxiu abandon Fan Yuan. The rest were just trivial matters, so that would be enough.
As for the content of the divorce letter, she had already thought about it.
In Jinyang Palace, Zhuang Qing waited quietly.
Baoping was a little worried that his master would not be able to get this imperial edict. After all, there was no precedent for divorce in Da Qi. Although the emperor doted on the imperial concubine, it would be difficult to issue this edict, right?
To be honest, she didn't dare to have high expectations.
On the other hand, Miss Zhuang was very present and seemed to be full of confidence that the empress could successfully obtain the imperial edict.
Just when Baoping Street was anxious, Qin Zhao returned to Jinyang Palace.
Baoping saw the smile on Qin Zhao's face and asked doubtfully: "Has the imperial edict been received?"
Qin Zhao turned around and looked at Baozhu, who showed the imperial edict in his hand: "If our mother-in-law takes action, what else can't be done?"
Although the emperor resisted for a time, he could not defeat the empress in the end.
Baoping was at a loss for words for a while, and it took her a while to finally speak the truth: "Your Majesty, you are so amazing!"
Qin Zhao took the imperial edict from Baozhu and handed it to Zhuang Qing: "Although the emperor said that there was no precedent for a woman to divorce her husband in Da Qi, he still issued this edict. The emperor also feels sorry for you. Just do whatever you want.
, we all support you.”
Zhuang Qing held the imperial edict tightly and said after a while: "Thank you, Sister Qin, for helping me."
Qin Zhao waved his hands angrily: "This is nothing. Besides, I was the one who encouraged you to make peace with Fan Yuan in the first place. At this juncture, of course I have to stand by your side."
Zhuang Qing smiled: "Without Sister Qin's help, the Emperor's cousin would not have been able to issue this imperial edict. It is because he values Sister Qin that the Emperor's cousin is soft-hearted, I know."
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "The emperor is a protector of shortcomings and soft-hearted, so he agreed to me. It's getting late. If you don't leave the palace early and settle your marriage with Fan Yuan, Xiao Linzi will accompany you."
Zhuang Qing thinks it makes sense.
Under the escort of Qin Zhao, Zhuang Qing left Jinyang Palace.
Half an hour later, Fan Zhai.
Fan Yuan did not expect Zhuang Qing to return to Fan's house so soon, and secretly thought something was wrong.
Before he could figure out what trick Zhuang Qing was trying to play, he heard the sharp eunuch's voice coming from outside: "The imperial edict has arrived!!"
Hearing the sound of "The imperial edict has arrived," Fan Yuan's palms became sweaty.
If he had been taking chances before, now his heart was like being cooked in a frying pan, rolling up and down.
Fan Yuan was flustered and surprised this time, and everyone in the Fan family was in chaos that time.
When an imperial edict comes, it is no small matter. Everyone in the Fan family must kneel down to receive the edict. Before receiving the edict, they must place an incense burner on the table to show their kindness to the emperor.
Xiao Linzi looked at the Fan family members kneeling on the ground, then took out the imperial edict and read out:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. Zhuang Qing had a husband, Fan Yuan. He spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, so he was abandoned by Zhuang Qing. From then on, the marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. I admire this!"
Looking at the Fan family members who were stunned, Xiao Linzi raised his voice and said: "Fan Yuan, you still haven't accepted the order?!"
Only then did Fan Yuan react. He suppressed his shame and stepped forward to accept the order and thank him.
"Young Master Fan is also a talented man. He is the first man to be divorced in Daqi. I am very happy and congratulated." When Fan Yuan accepted the order, Xiao Linzi couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words.
Fan Yuan has never been so cowardly in his life, and the person who brought him humiliation turned out to be Zhuang Qing.
Zhuang Qing didn't want to have any more entanglements with the Fan family. She turned to look at Xiao Linzi and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for making this trip."
"Yes, let's take Miss Zhuang back to the tailor shop." Xiao Linzi was very respectful when facing Zhuang Qing.
Zhuang Qing took another look at Fan Yuan, whose face was ashen, and left Fan's house without looking back.
As soon as they left, Fan's father slapped Fan Yuan hard on the face: "You evildoer, the Fan family has lost all their face!!"
Fan's mother cried to heaven and earth, feeling ashamed to face her ancestors.
Fan Yuan tightened the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes red.
From now on, how can he have the dignity to go out to meet people? Now he has become a joke to the entire Kyoto and even Daqi...
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news about Fan Yuan being abandoned by Zhuang Qing quickly spread throughout the streets of Kyoto, and later throughout Daqi.
Many people are curious about what kind of strange woman Zhuang Qing is, and she is the first woman in Daqi to divorce her husband.
