Pei Yao asked for a night with Xiang Mindai, and promised that he would give his final decision early the next morning.

This night, she tossed and turned, and stayed awake all night.

Early the next morning, Min Dai went to the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces to ask for peace, and because of yesterday's incident, she was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Liang for most of the day, and when she returned to the Xiancui Palace, it was almost lunchtime.

Pei Yaowei was waiting for her to come back in the main hall.

As soon as Min Dai saw her, she inexplicably felt that after a night, this girl seemed to be a little different.

waved off the maids on the left and right, the two sat down, and Min Dai asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Pei Yaowei nodded: "Little sister is willing-

Married to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

The teacup in Min Dai's hand fell to the ground.

Asking in a loud voice, Min Dai only said that there was nothing to do.

"You've thought about it all night, and then you came up with such a decision?" After a moment of silence, Min Dai's heart was already anxious, and she asked urgently.

Pei Yaowei was not in a hurry to answer, but asked first: "My sister has been in the palace for many years, and her relationship with the emperor can be harmonious?" Can you be affectionate? ”

Min Dai was stunned.

"Harmony." She said, "Not affectionate." ”

Her tone was calm and unwavering, and she said things that were not very pleasant, but as if she were completely out of business.

Pei Yaowei was not surprised.

Xiao Zhu's love for Dai can be said to be pampered and respected. Of course, there are reasons for taking into account the status of the Xiang family, but it is more because of the temperament of Min Dai herself.

She is gentle and peaceful, but Yao Wei has also seen her joyful and excited appearance, but in the face of Xiao Zhu, she is always blindly tolerant and quiet, blindly rational and dignified.

There is no one in this world who cares neither joyfully nor sadly.

"In my eyes, you are in the harem, it is more like you are doing your duty as a daughter, connecting the family and the royal family, and it is enough to keep a thorough door." Pei Yao said, "Now that my little sister is determined to get married, she will become a princess for the poor industry, and more importantly, she naturally wants to work with her sister to protect the Xiang clan." ”

She changed her words and continued: "And the emperor - looking at the Pei family before, and the Pan family now, whether it is innocent loyalty or wolf ambition, but all extremely human ministers will be suspicious, calculated, and dealt with by today. ”

"The emperor's intention is very clear at the moment, that is, to pull the Xiang clan out to deal with the Pan clan, if this game is lost, our family will be an outcast, and we will not be able to survive; If it wins, it will also be the second Pan's, the rabbit and the dog cook, but the cycle is just repeated. Such a gentleman, no matter how many daughters our family sends to the harem, it is rare to have a good end in the end. ”

She calmly said this, waiting for Min Dai's reaction.

"Xiangyu," after a moment, Min Dai looked at her with heavy eyes, and said word by word, "This is a great disrespect." ”

Pei Yaowei smiled: "To my sister, I'm not afraid of being disrespectful." ”

Min Dai took a deep breath and looked at her, not knowing what she was thinking.

Pei Yaowei left her enough time to think before continuing: "If you have a deep relationship with the emperor, then that's fine, but since between the mother family and the royal family, my sister does not consider the second option, then the younger sister marries His Royal Highness the King of Chu, which is an important step to ensure that our Xiang clan can get out of the treacherous political situation in the coming day." ”

What she meant, Min Dai understood.

The Xiang family is now forced to gamble, since they can't stop betting, the big and small parties will each scatter some chips, at least in the end, so as not to lose to nothing.

"Have you ever thought about it," Min Dai asked, "once you marry the King of Chu, the Son of Heaven will be angry, maybe our family will not have to wait until the end, there will be a disaster right now." ”

Pei Yaowei chuckled: "Isn't that good?" ”

Min Dai was stunned.

She explained, "Eldest sister, there are big and small disasters. Avoiding small disasters and big disasters is a blessing. ”

Min Dai frowned slightly, followed her suggestion for a moment, and gradually understood.

The emperor is angry, and he can't kill the family for a woman, on the contrary, if he is suspicious of the Xiang family at this time, and he does not dare to let go of power and appoint, then for the Xiang family, it is a good thing to avoid trouble.

Thinking about it this way, marrying each other to the king of Chu may really be a move that depends on good and evil.

"So," and finally, there was only one question left, and Min Dai asked, "What about Princess Yecheng?" ”

When the words landed, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived——! ”
