Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

In Fengzhi Palace, Dou Miaojin was trying her best to persuade the Queen to agree to the marriage between the Guo family and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. She was not as proper as the noble ladies in the capital, but rather a free and easy type who was not bound by etiquette.

The queen had been ill for a long time. After taking the medicine Dou Miaojin asked for recently, she felt much more relaxed. She was a very disciplined person, but she felt that this was how Dou Miaojin lived a fulfilling life as a woman.

"Miao Jin and Duke Dingguo are in love with each other, so naturally they hope that Sister Chang Ting can also marry her lover, like the emperor and the empress, and love each other for the rest of their lives, so that they can feel happy and fulfilled." Dou Miao Jin said enviously.

The Empress and Emperor Yongjia were young couples and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Empress Xie was respected by Emperor Yongjia throughout his life. There was only one concubine with a rank in the harem, Concubine Xie, and the rest were palace girls who were not allowed to be canonized. What she enjoyed most was not the honor of being the Empress, but the love of Emperor Yongjia.

Dou Miaojin's flattery touched her heart.

"What you said does make some sense. I will give this matter careful consideration." After saying this, the queen revealed a bit of fatigue.

Dou Miaojin stood up quickly and said, "Her Majesty, please take care of yourself. Miaojin will contact Changliu Pavilion as soon as possible and ask Yanzhijian to come to the palace to treat the health of the Her Majesty."

The queen was very pleased. "You and Changyuan should get married as soon as possible. Changyuan is not young anymore, and there is no child in the family. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no children is the worst. We can't delay it any longer."

"Yes, Miaojin will obey your order!" Dou Miaojin lowered her head, secretly delighted.

The queen was still a little hesitant. For the person in power, a marriage was not only about the union of two families, but also involved changes in the court. Although many civil officials gathered around the crown prince, the more civil officials gathered, the greater the differences between him and the military generals.

When Yiyang Marquis Liu Qi followed Emperor Yongjia in his rebellion, he served in the central army camp and had close relations with all the military generals. The empress ordered the Yiyang Marquis's mansion to form a marriage alliance with the Dingguo Duke's mansion, with the aim of winning the support of the military generals for the crown prince.

In the eyes of the Queen, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion should not have the question of taking sides; they should support whoever the Crown Prince is.

Dou Miaojin had heard Dou Jinzhao analyze this in her previous life, and understood the Queen's thoughts. "If the Queen's health is well, there will be no problem at all. Miaojin understands the Queen's painstaking efforts for the Prince. However, with the Queen around, the Prince will definitely be a wise ruler in the future. Sister Changting always said that the Queen treated her like her own daughter, and the Queen would definitely want to see her have a happy marriage in the future."

The Queen was touched by what she said. If she lived a long life, she would not be worried about the Prince losing his position. She smiled and nodded, "You are quite smart. I will entrust my body to you."

"Miao Jin will definitely live up to expectations!"

When the emperor arrived, Dou Miaojin tactfully said goodbye.

"Who was here just now?" the emperor asked knowingly.

"It's the second daughter of the Dou family." The queen didn't think much and said directly, "She came to talk about the marriage between the Guo family and the Dingguo Mansion."

The emperor frowned almost imperceptibly, "That's just right. Just now, Guo Xiao was asking me for permission to marry him, saying that he had set his eyes on the eldest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion."

The Queen's heart skipped a beat. Even though Dou Miaojin's words made sense, she still didn't want many things to get out of her control. "What does the Emperor mean?"

"I agree!" How could the emperor not know the queen's plan? This was also the purpose of his coming. He held the queen's hand and said, "I heard from Chang Yuan that the second lady Dou is very confident in getting the Rouge Sword. Even if I am gone in the future, won't the children still have you?"

The queen was heartbroken and covered the emperor's mouth, "Your Majesty, I won't allow you to say such things!"

The marriage is done!

Dou Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Dou Miaojin came to the Lu family in a triumphant mood. The housekeeper beside the lady came to greet her personally and took her to Xuancao Hall.

Several maids hid behind the screen wall and gossiped.

"Did you hear that the eldest girl in our house was married off to someone who went to the palace to report to the Queen?"

"Ah, this is too rude! Isn't she... a co-wife?"

"That's right. Isn't a concubine also a concubine? This is against the rules!"

……

"What nonsense are you talking about?" When the housekeeper saw Dou Miaojin's livid face, she rushed forward to catch the person. However, the maid from an unknown courtyard ran away in a hurry, and the housekeeper didn't even get a good look at what the person looked like.

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when Dou Miaojin glared at her and scolded, "Shut up!"

She muttered, "There are really no rules in this house!"

The housekeeper was quite a capable woman. "When the young lady comes to live with us, she will be in charge of the household affairs, and things like this won't happen again. Nowadays, there are really no rules. Who do these little bitches care about?"

Dou Miaojin thought for a moment and asked, "Which courtyard does my sister live in?"

The housekeeper pointed to a courtyard in the east and said, "Xixiang Courtyard is the first lady's courtyard. When the first lady got married, the Duke went to war and did not have a bridal chamber. The old lady designated Xixiang Courtyard for the first lady, and the bridal chamber that was originally prepared became empty, waiting for the Duke to return home and consummate the marriage before moving in."

The main courtyard is on the middle road, and the Osmanthus Fragrance Courtyard is to the east of the main courtyard, opposite the Xuancao Hall where the lady-in-waiting lives.

The old woman was a wonderful person. She deliberately took Dou Miaojin to bypass the main courtyard. The courtyard with five rooms and three entrances was majestic and bright. In the whole mansion, only Xuancao Hall could be compared with it.

Dou Miaojin smiled. She was determined to live in the main courtyard. She had to surpass Dou Jinzhao in every aspect, otherwise it would be unfair for her to live another life.

In Xuancao Hall, Lu Changyuan was talking to the old lady about what happened in the palace today. Upon learning that the wedding was set for three days later, the old lady felt a little anxious, but there was nothing she could do as her current concern was the betrothal gift.

"Since you asked for a betrothal gift of nine thousand taels of silver that day, it would be inappropriate to ask for less. Now it is urgently needed, what should we do?" The lady rubbed her brows.

Lu Changyuan also had a headache. He wanted to give Dou Miaojin a decent wedding, but his ability was limited. "If it really doesn't work, the betrothal gift can only be less. I'll discuss this with Miaojin first!"

Miao Jin has always been sensible, and there is no need for them to use betrothal gifts to express their feelings, so she should support this matter.

As they were talking, Dou Miaojin came. Lu Changyuan's mood improved and he kept his eyes on her when he saw her come in.

After Dou Miaojin bowed, the lady nodded and asked, "Are you from the palace?"

"Thanks to the Queen's kindness, Miao Jin went to the palace today to tell the Queen about Sister Chang Ting's marriage, and the Queen was very happy."

Lu Changyuan finally felt relieved. He was still worried that the Queen would not agree. "Even though the Emperor agrees, it still needs the support of my aunt. If my aunt has no objection, it will be a great joy!"

"That's right. The Queen has always loved you and Ting'er. Your marriage must be approved by the Queen." The old lady's eyes narrowed with a smile. "Speaking of which, Miao Jin is still responsible for this matter. I really hope that you can get married soon so that I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Dou Miaojin lowered her head in shame. She couldn't help but think of what she had just heard in front of the screen wall. What if Dou Jinzhao was the mistress? What if she was the legitimate wife?

"Miao Jin, our wedding will be moved forward to three days later."

Lu Changyuan's eyes were full of stars, and Dou Miaojin felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard it!
