The emperor was already a little impatient in his heart, and it was not too much to be angry.

He was very dissatisfied with the envoy, and felt that the envoy was a little ignorant.

The disgust for this envoy ranged from the arrogance of the previous hour, to the verbal ridicule, and the arrogance and rudeness of the envoy before.

At all costs? The emperor doesn't have a good impression of him.

And at this moment, when he mentioned the matter of the princess again, the emperor was furious, thinking that the envoy did not have the slightest idea of really negotiating peace, otherwise he would never mention the matter again.

And after his own veto, he kept biting on it, which is really not a wise move.

"It seems that their country does not really want to negotiate peace, and this envoy is also perfunctory everywhere, and there is no determination to really want to negotiate peace!"

In the back, although it was said that the palace banquet was obviously a happy thing, because the envoy made disrespectful words several times, the atmosphere of the entire palace banquet became tense. Everyone just ate and didn't say anything superfluous.

Later, when the hour came, the emperor stood up, brushed his sleeves and said: "It's not too early now, all the Aiqing should go back and rest first, and so are the envoys." ”

"Yes." And all the people stood up and were ready to leave.

At this time, the emperor spoke again, "Xu Jiu'an and Zhu Wu, the two of you stay for a while." ”

Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu glanced at each other, saluted and said, "Yes." ”

After everyone left, the emperor took Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu to the imperial study.

After sitting down, the emperor spoke: "I called the two of you here separately to discuss with you about harmony. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Xu Jiuan said: "The minister thinks that the envoy is not sincere in negotiating peace at all, but intends to solve the problem in a friendly way from the beginning. ”

Zhu Wu nodded when he heard this, "The minister thinks so too." ”

On the other side, because Xu Jiu'an was called away by the emperor alone, Pei Yuetong has been waiting quietly outside the palace.

After waiting for a long time, I couldn't see anyone who had been safe for a long time.

Thinking of what had just happened in the main hall, Pei Yuetong also realized the seriousness of the development of the matter.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yuetong set off to visit Concubine Xian.

As soon as Pei Yuetong walked into Concubine Xian's bedroom, she saw Concubine Xian walking around the room alone in a hurry.

Seeing Pei Yuetong coming, Concubine Xian hurriedly walked over as if she had seen a savior, and held Concubine Xian's hand tightly.

"Pei Yuetong." Concubine Xian opened her mouth and said, "I have already heard about what happened in the hall just now, and that envoy must have gone too far, and even made such an unreasonable request. ”

Pei Yuetong was also angry at this time, and said in response: "Yes, he clearly got our requirements for them, and there is no other way than compromise to say such a thing." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xian became more and more indignant, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, Concubine Xian is just a woman, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so Concubine Xian cannot make any intervention in this matter, and can only obey the emperor's arrangement.

And the stakes are high, and if you are not careful, there is a risk that the war between the two countries will be ignited again. And if there is another war, they are likely to lose, so this battle cannot be fought.

"Pei Yuetong, what do you think is good?" Concubine Xian was about to cry when she said that, and held Pei Yuetong's hand tightly. Qiyin

Seeing that Concubine Xian was so sad, Pei Yuetong felt very uncomfortable.

Pei Yuetong gently patted Concubine Xian's back and comforted: "Concubine Xian doesn't have to worry too much, the emperor will definitely make the best decision on this matter." Just after the palace banquet ended, the emperor called Xu Jiuan and Zhu Wu to the imperial study, presumably to discuss this matter. ”

"Hmm." Hearing that the emperor was so concerned about this matter, Concubine Xian was a little relieved.

After a while, Concubine Xian said: "You may not know very well, the emperor has no heirs under his knees now, and the only princess in the palace is the ninth princess and you." ”

When Pei Yuetong heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised.

So if you say so, there is a chance that the ninth princess will be sent to kiss.

Pei Yuetong glanced at Concubine Xian and knew that if things really developed to this point, then she would definitely not be able to bear it.

Although I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart, I am afraid that it will not be good for Concubine Xian's health to let Concubine Xian think like this.

Thinking so, Pei Yuetong opened his mouth to comfort: "I believe that the emperor is also reluctant to let the ninth princess go to make peace." Just above the main hall, the emperor heard that the envoy said that he wanted the princess to go and kiss, he was furious, and he refuted it on the spot. So we should believe in the emperor, he will never let the ninth princess go to kiss. ”

Hearing Pei Yuetong say this, Concubine Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After being silent for a while, Concubine Xian smiled at Pei Yuetong and said, "Pei Yuetong, I really thank you this time, you came to visit me on purpose, and said so many words of comfort to me." ”

Pei Yuetong smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, this is what I should do." Seeing that Concubine Xian is finally relieved, I am also relieved. ”

Seeing Pei Yuetong's words and deeds so humble, Concubine Xian nodded with great satisfaction, "Xu Jiu'an is really a blessing from the third generation, and he married such a kind and virtuous wife like you." ”

was praised by Concubine Xian like this, Pei Yuetong was a little uncomfortable to come together.

On the other side, the matter was still being discussed in the imperial study.

Thinking that Fang was just above the main hall, the envoy was so arrogant, and the emperor was resentful in his stomach.

The emperor took the case and said: "If it weren't for our lack of strength, how could we be bullied to such a point?" ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Xu Jiu'an and Zhu Wu were a little panicked.

Zhu Wu looked at the emperor's expression, and then said: "The emperor doesn't need to be so angry, the enemy country is so arrogant, if we agree to their request like this, I am afraid that there will be more excessive demands in the future." ”

Zhu Wu saluted the emperor and said: "Please also ask the emperor to think twice, don't grow the ambition of others, and destroy your own prestige, Your Majesty." ”

Hearing Zhu Wu say this, the emperor's face sank even more.

The emperor did not understand these truths that Zhu Wu said. What's more, she is such a sister as the ninth princess, and the emperor loves her more than anyone else.

It's just that in the face of national affairs, I must fulfill my responsibilities as an emperor.

But......

The more he thought about it, the more angry the emperor felt.

"Aiqing is right," the emperor said with great dissatisfaction, "I can't back down anymore, I can't let them think that we are easy to bully." ”

The emperor continued: "This time they don't even think about it, it is impossible for me to agree to marry my sister. ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Xu Jiu'an, who had been silent, spoke, "You must not make such a decision easily because you are not convinced." ”
