Chapter 1060: Cross-examination from a scholar
The emperor could see that the queen was very unhappy, and she could see that the queen was sad and wanted to cry, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she left alone first, and called a few maids to take good care of the queen and help her ease her emotions. The queen sobbed quietly for a while and then decided to do something practical, so she decided to go and talk to the ninth princess herself, wanting to see for herself how she was doing.
The queen came to the ninth princess accompanied by several maids, and the ninth princess was very happy to see the queen coming, and she also wanted to chat with the queen more, but she actually understood what the queen's intention was in her heart. The queen opened her mouth first and asked, "How are you doing lately, are you okay, is there anything you are not used to?" The ninth princess replied with a smile: "The queen is too worried, I've been doing well lately, you don't have to worry too much about me." The two chatted for a while before entering the formal topic.
The queen cautiously opened her mouth and asked the ninth princess: "Ninth princess, you know that I like you very much, I don't have a daughter with the emperor, so we treat you and Yuetong as our own daughters, what do you think about this matter?" If you really don't want to, I'll go and discuss with the emperor again to see if there is any other way, it's not the only way to go, I will definitely find a better way, and you don't have to be too sad about this matter now! I and the emperor don't feel good about you like this! ”
The ninth princess saw that the queen was so worried about herself, and she replied sensibly: "Queen Mother, I know that if we want to start a war now, we can't afford to consume it, and now is the moment when everything is lacking, including all kinds of manpower and material resources, and then the war will definitely not be able to defeat the other party, and starting a war is harmless to the people, since it can be solved by the way of harmony, I agree." After saying that, he took the queen's hand.
The queen saw that the ninth princess was more sensible, the more distressed she became, she really couldn't bear to see the ninth princess marry so far away, not to mention that there was no familiar person there, if she was bullied, she didn't know where to find someone, the more she thought about it, the more she felt bad in her heart, and tears began to roll in the queen's eyes. The ninth princess immediately asked the maid to bring a clean handkerchief, wiped the moist tears in the queen's eyes, and comforted the queen while wiping it: "It's okay, queen mother, you really don't have to worry about me, I see the matter of harmony very plainly, it's just a change of place to live, and this is good for everyone, it's good for everyone, and it can be saved from war, it's good, I think about it, really." After hearing this, the queen didn't say anything, and took the ninth princess into her arms, and the two hugged each other.
After the queen returned to the palace, she told the emperor that the content of her chat with the ninth princess was very similar, although the emperor was very reluctant to send the ninth princess to such a far place and relatives, but he had no second way to go, and harmony was the best and only solution, so he summoned Pei Yuetong into the palace again, and wanted Pei Yuetong to persuade Concubine Xian.
Pei Yuetong came to the palace, and the emperor said to her: "Yuetong, I asked you to come today, mainly hoping that you can find a suitable time period to have a good chat with Concubine Xian, I know that the relationship between the two of you is relatively good, you are closer, your persuasion may be more powerful for her, and Concubine Xian can also listen to what you say, what do you say?" Although Pei Yuetong was very annoyed and helpless about letting the ninth princess go to kiss, she couldn't think of a better solution, so she simply agreed to the emperor's request. Although her face was full of helplessness, there was really no second choice.
After a few days, when Pei Yuetong was free, she made an appointment with the queen and wanted the queen to go with her. Pei Yuetong said to the queen: "Queen, the emperor wants me to talk to Concubine Xian about persuading her about the ninth princess and relatives, I think I may not be too good alone, do you have time?" Why don't you come with me? The queen agreed without saying a word, so the two went to see Concubine Xian together.
Just came to Concubine Xian's house, the three of them were still a little uncomfortable, everyone didn't know how to speak, so they greeted each other first, Concubine Xian didn't know what to say, so she first asked her subordinates to bring a few cups of tea and sent them up, and then the chat of the three slowly turned to the topic.
When Pei Yuetong and the queen were with Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was still taking care of the young prince, and she heard the palace maid come to report that the princess was coming.
Concubine Xian thought that Pei Yuetong had come to see her, so she was very happy, because she was now alone in the palace, and there was no one else to accompany her and chat with her, so Concubine Xian was very happy when she heard that the palace maid said that Pei Yuetong was coming.
But before she was happy, the palace maid said again, the queen also came, and Concubine Xian heard the palace maid say that the queen was also here, and now Concubine Xian also knew why they came.
"Concubine Niangniang, the princess and the queen are here." The palace maid saw Pei Yuetong and the queen coming to visit, so she immediately went to inform Concubine Xian.
"The princess and the queen?" When Concubine Xian heard the palace maid say this, she couldn't believe it, how could the queen come to her when she had nothing to do, and she was still with Pei Yuetong.
Now if the two of them come over together, it can only be because of one thing, and that must be a decision about the relationship.
Concubine Xian didn't want the ninth princess to marry so far to the border, and Concubine Xian always felt that her child the ninth princess had not grown up yet, so when she heard that the ninth princess was going to be married, Concubine Xian disagreed.
Concubine Xian did not agree with the ninth princess and relatives, and she always felt that the ninth princess was still young, so she didn't think about this problem, and when she thought about this issue later, Concubine Xian had no choice, so now when the envoy proposed to make peace, Concubine Xian was very broken.
And now that Pei Yuetong and the queen are coming to him together, they must be trying to persuade Concubine Xian herself, and Concubine Xian feels uncomfortable.
However, Pei Yuetong and the queen came, and it was impossible for Concubine Xian not to see them and turn them away, so Concubine Xian asked the palace maid to take the little prince down and greet Pei Yuetong and the queen herself.
"Let them in." Concubine Xian sat on a chair. Tidy up her appearance, so let the palace maid let the queen and the princess in, since the two of them came together, there must be a result, Concubine Xian knew that even if the emperor decided to let the ninth princess go and kiss, there was no way to refuse this matter.
"Concubine Xian." The queen saluted Concubine Xian.
Although the queen is the lord of the harem, Concubine Xian is the concubine of the first emperor, so the queen still has to salute Concubine Xian.
"The queen and the princess are here, come, sit down, come and serve tea." Empress Xian saw Pei Yuetong and the queen, so he told the queen and Pei Yuetong.
Pei Yuetong saw that Concubine Xian didn't look so enthusiastic, and she looked more lost and easy to get distracted, Pei Yuetong knew that she was coming with the queen, Concubine Xian had already guessed, and Pei Yuetong was reluctant to kiss the ninth princess in her heart.
