Grace's parting message made us all fall into silence, of course we didn't blame her for not saying goodbye to us personally, we just felt that she was a weak girl who had to sacrifice herself for the glory and disgrace of the family, but as friends, we couldn't do anything but send blessings in our hearts.

An An saw that everyone was a little sad, smiled and comforted everyone: "You don't have to worry too much about Grace, she has always been independent and brave, and she will definitely solve all the problems she encounters, and I heard Freud say that there may still be variables in the affairs of Grace's family, and Grace does not necessarily need to get married immediately to inherit her father's inheritance." ”

"Oh, really?" Everyone immediately became excited when they heard the news, but what they couldn't understand was what kind of variables would exist? Who else could change something that even a high-ranking figure like Duke Jackson couldn't change?

Looking at everyone's expectant faces, An An continued, "Freud told me that although the rules on inheritance are explicit provisions in the laws of the Empire, it is true that no one can easily change them, unless Her Majesty the Queen instructs the Imperial Diet to change the law. However, there is also a special law in the Empire, and the Queen and Crown Prince have the right to make special interpretations of certain legal provisions. ”

"A special explanation? What is a special explanation? I asked, puzzled.

"The so-called special interpretation means that they can ignore the literal meaning of the legal provision, but can understand it as they want to understand it, and to put it bluntly, it is just a privilege without a bottom line of principles."

"Oh, I see, they can refer to the deer as a horse to cover the sky with one hand, right?" Uncle Wei asked.

"Well, that's understandable." An An nodded, "But you can't say that in public, this is the right given to the queen and the crown prince by the gods." ”

"The feudal ruling class has a moral character, on the one hand, it requires ordinary people to abide by the law, and on the other hand, it seeks privileges under various clever pretenses, and the typical only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps." I sighed and shook my head.

"Comrade Xiao Han's political consciousness is very high, and he has broken through the evil nature of the feudal society with all evils." Uncle Wei didn't know why, so he praised me inexplicably, and I continued: "Even if there is a special legal provision, what does it have to do with Grace's matter?" Could it be that the queen would use this privilege for her? ”

"Her Majesty, of course, will not, because there are certain restrictions on the use of this privilege. The special right of interpretation can only be used for a certain legal provision in a specific matter, and the special interpretation power cannot really change the letter of the law, and it can only be used three times in a lifetime for either the queen or the crown prince, so this privilege is quite valuable. ”

"It's also quite interesting, since they are all privileged, how can they still impose restrictions on themselves? It's shameless anyway, so why not be thorough? I asked.

"This may also be a balance or compromise, after all, although the queen is the supreme existence in the entire empire, the royal family is not only the queen, and she cannot be absolutely lawless."

"Then this is different from the ancient emperors of our country, those ancient emperors of our country are all covering the sky with one hand." Xue Ying, who had been talking very little, suddenly said innocently.

"Hehe, a stupid girl can't say that." Sister Shanshan smiled and said, "As a teacher who teaches ancient Chinese history, I have to popularize science for you." In addition to some special times when etiquette collapsed, most of the time the ancient emperors were also subject to great constraints, the ancestral family law, the three outlines and the five constants were tightly bound to the emperor's head like a mantra, and the emperor could not completely do what he wanted, of course, compared to ordinary people, they were still relatively able to do whatever they wanted. ”

Sister Shanshan said these things, I also know, especially after the Ming Dynasty, power seems to be highly centralized, the imperial power almost completely defeated the relative power, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have become nodding and haggling slaves, but the emperor's words and deeds, and even daily life have become rigid and solidified, and the restrictions of rules and regulations make the emperors of the Qing Dynasty generally look more bitter, of course, it is still that sentence, these are relative.

If the special interpretation right can only be used three times in a lifetime, then Grace is not related to her, and the queen has no reason to use the privilege for her, and the rest may only be Prince William, the crown prince William, when Grace's father died in order to cover the retreat of the senior observation group, and there was Prince William in the observation group, so it can be said that Grace's father is a lifesaver for Prince William, and theoretically it is possible for the prince to help Grace in order to repay the favor. But what is more embarrassing is that Prince William was not the only one in the observation group back then, and it has been so many years, and the empire has also given Grace's father enough honor and wealth, and it is difficult to say whether the prince will be willing to use the precious special interpretation power for Grace again.

"Although this possibility is indeed not very large, but after all, there is still a little possibility, Freud said that Her Majesty is old, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take over in a few years, in order to show his benevolence and gratitude before the succession, and establish a higher prestige in the hearts of the masses, maybe he will come to the rescue."

Although Grace's affairs have taken a little turn, no one can say the final result, and we can only pray silently for her in our hearts.

After chatting about Grace's matter, the slightly depressed atmosphere eased a little, An An looked at us and asked, "Where did Brother Big Bear and Uncle Song go?" ”

Sister Hongmei said: "Because the abolition of slavery has begun to be trial, so now the official affairs of the island cabinet are particularly busy, Uncle Song did not come back last night, it is estimated that it is another night battle, as for the big bear, he has broken with us now and moved to the planting area to be with the Tina sisters." ”

"Brother Big Bear really believes in Tina so much? But after he moved in, how did the three of them support themselves? Brother Big Bear himself definitely doesn't know how to do farm work, although Sister Tina was born as a slave, but what she did before was also some things to serve people with tea and water, so she shouldn't know anything about farming, right? An An asked worriedly.

"Then we can't that." I smiled and said, "Comrade Daxiong is very confident now, he thinks that with his ingenuity, shrewdness and ability to feed Sister Tina, it is no problem at all, you may not know, in addition to the two pieces of land of Sister Tina, he also exchanged his own land for the land of the students and Xiaoka, in fact, the family is now a big farmer." ”

"Han Dong!" An An glared at me angrily, "Brother Big Bear is our own person after all, we can't watch him struggle outside, right?" Besides, did we misunderstand Sister Tina too? You think, they don't live with us now, and they are still willing to follow Brother Big Bear, if they are spies, then what are they trying to do? Maybe Tina really has true love for Big Bear? ”

"Okay, okay, I don't know if I really love it, but it's a fact that this grandson broke up with everyone for a woman, and I plan to let him suffer outside for a while, and let him suffer a little and teach a long lesson. Don't talk about him, An An, as soon as Grace leaves now, will your clinic still be busy? ”

"Of course, it's too busy, in the past, slaves were sick and injured, and slave owners just gave some medicine indiscriminately, but now that slaves have become citizens, there are naturally many more people who see a doctor, and some of us will be busy in the future, but the good news is that three doctors will join the clinic soon."
