Chapter 514
Knowing that there was still a surprise, both of them immediately focused their attention on Pei Xiu.

"Xiu'er, tell me quickly." The queen was obviously curious.

Concubine De smiled and looked at her daughter, this child, let's talk about it earlier, isn't this arousing everyone's appetite?
She followed suit and urged Pei Xiu anxiously.

Peixiu bent her big bright eyes, and explained in detail how to fight wits and courage with her father and finally win her choice of son-in-law.

After hearing her story, Concubine De took the lead in grabbing her hand excitedly, and said in disbelief: "Your father actually agreed?"

Peixiu nodded towards her mother and concubine: "Yes, the sons and ministers have said that the final decision will be made by the father, and there is no disagreement with the father."

"Xiu'er, your father agreed to it because he felt that he owed you because of the failure of Hongbo's marriage. I guess he just let your children play around, and the final decision still rests with him."

After all, the queen is the person who knows the emperor best, and she sees problems much more transparently.

"The empress mother's analysis is quite correct, but the son-in-law has no choice but to think of such a plan to delay the attack.

Let's procrastinate for a while, and ask the mother and concubine to help the son find a way to see if he can get rid of the fate of being used. "

After a pause, the queen said: "Xu'er, maybe I can take care of it."

After listening to the conversation between Pei Xiu and the queen, the eyes of Concubine De, whose face was covered with sadness, suddenly lit up.

"Sister, do you have any good ideas?"

For Xiu'er's marriage, the two sisters also worried a lot.

The queen pointed to Pei Xiu and said, "Xiu'er reminded me that a bigger poetry competition will be held this year. If you can find talents from it, match Xiu'er well, and meet the emperor's requirements, that would be the best." Alright."

Concubine De immediately understood what the queen meant, so far, this result is the most satisfactory.

She secretly made a decision in her heart, starting from this evening, I will worship the Bodhisattva devoutly sooner or later, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless Xiu'er, so that I can find a man who suits me well.

"What the queen mother said is very true. If that is the case, the minister will be thankful."

Peixiu also hopes to have such a choice that has the best of both worlds, but she knows in her heart that the possibility is not great.

"Xiu'er is a good boy, and the queen mother is willing to believe that you will have a good home." The queen stretched out her hand to rub Pei Xiu's soft black hair, and said seriously.

Peixiu thanked the queen mother.

He raised his eyes to look at his concubine mother and saw that she looked a little depressed again, so he started to talk about light topics.

When he said that he asked his father back, his father laughed out loud.He also said that he was very proud of himself for being able to come up with such a response at the time when he was in a hurry.

And Eunuch An, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, his suppressed expression was very funny...

Finally made the two mothers laugh.

In the end, she talked well, but the emperor suddenly waved his hand and said that he was tired, and asked her to quit, and she quit happily.

The queen's expression changed, she raised her hand and gently rubbed her eyebrows, and asked casually: "Xiu'er, you said your father suddenly asked you to step down? Didn't he say anything?"

Peixiu thought for a while, but the father didn't seem to say anything, so he shook his head.

Concubine De became nervous. There must be a reason for the emperor's sudden change of attitude. Could it be that she had made a note with Xiu'er in her heart?If Concubine Hui found out, she might have to provoke her again.

So he looked at the queen as if asking for help: "Sister, look, what should I do?"

"Sister, don't worry, Xiu'er, think about it again, what else did your father say before he asked you to step down?"

After seeing the mother and the concubine, Peixiu realized that the problem seemed a bit serious, and she began to carefully recall the situation at that time.

Before that, she was talking about the poetry competition, and then Eunuch An came over with the jade bracelet, and the emperor held up the jade bracelet and told her the origin, and then she took the jade bracelet to thank her, and the emperor let her go .

That's it, father didn't say anything strange.

But what the queen mother said is also true. The emperor did suddenly ask me to step down. Could it be that I didn't know where I said something wrong?
She frowned and thought about it twice. When she took the bracelet, her father seemed to have said twice about the poetry competition.

"Empress, I remembered that when the father handed the bracelet to his son, he seemed to say the poetry competition twice, but he probably said it because I mentioned the poetry competition."

After Peixiu finished speaking, the queen understood in her heart, and the emperor thought of the third sister again.

Suppressing the soreness in her heart, she smiled at Pei Xiu and said, "Then don't worry, your father may be really tired."

Hearing this, Concubine De patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I thought Xiu'er's words offended the emperor in no way."

"Mother, mother concubine, father and emperor also allowed the son to go out of the palace to relax. He just asked the son to bring the guards.

This is what Erchen is most happy about. "

Peixiu wanted to go outside the palace a long time ago, but her father forbade her, she was not qualified to go out.

A long time ago, she pestered her father to go out to see the world beyond the high wall, but her father doted on her and nodded in agreement.But before she could make the trip, the emperor backtracked on his order and did not allow her to go out.

At that time, she thought maybe her father felt that something was wrong, he was worried about her safety and wouldn't let her go out, so it was fine if she was depressed for two days.

Until that day when she didn't want to go to the palace and proposed to leave the palace again to relax, her father said casually: "Why did you mention this again? Xiu'er mentioned this matter several years ago, and it was all thanks to Concubine Hui to remind me , Said that you are a dignified princess, it is not appropriate to go out to show your face. Now that you are older, it is even more inappropriate."

She was furious at the time, and it turned out that it was Concubine Hui who did it.

Well, Concubine Hui, if you don't want me to leave the palace, I will.

"Father, I'm in a bad mood and want to go out and have a look. People outside the palace don't know me. Besides, I can go out disguised as a woman, and I promise it won't have any influence."

The royal father pondered for a moment, but shook his head and vetoed it.

Unexpectedly, today he suddenly figured it out, and if he took the initiative to say it right, could Peixiu be unhappy?

The queen looked at the bright smile of the young girl in front of her, and also smiled: "Xiu'er got what she wanted, she should be happy. Go, take this opportunity to see the world outside the palace. After all, the queen mother and your concubine mother are in the palace. You grew up outside, but you were born in a deep palace, and you don't know anything about the outside situation."

"My sister is right. I often can't stop thinking about my life outside the palace. At that time, I was really carefree."

There was obvious nostalgia on Concubine De's face, thinking about the mountains and rivers of her hometown, thinking about those relatives and friends, even the river in front of the old house, and the bamboo forest behind the house, all clearly jumped into her mind.

Pei Xiu nodded, already thinking about the itinerary for leaving the palace.
