The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 814 Relieve Your Worry (7)
Impressing her with reason is better than a strong rejection.

Seeing that she seemed to be wavering, Qingchen continued: "There is only one emperor, but there are a group of concubines. How do you win his heart? To tell you the truth, the princess, after returning to Beijing, the palace will serve the emperor. In the draft, there will be many beautiful women entering the palace to serve the emperor. Among them, there is no shortage of hearty and lovely women like princesses. He treats you differently."

Mianyue seemed to be deeply touched and said: "I understand what your mother said. For example, my mother, although she is the father's first wife, rarely gets his love and affection. My mother often feels lost. In the palace Those concubines, if they can be favored are fine, those who are not favored will have a miserable life. I grew up in the palace, so it’s not that I don’t understand the hardships and sorrows of concubines. Marriage, for the people of Great Xia, as a princess, can I not protect our people for my own selfishness?"

"Guarding is not plundering, nor is it using a marriage gift to exchange for a temporary recuperation. People's livelihood is difficult, and war and plunder alone cannot solve the problem. Besides, when you meet a man like the emperor who is also like a wolf, why do you think you can get along with him?" Can you get what you want in exchange for your own lifelong happiness?"

Stopped, turned around and smiled at Mianyue, Qingchen calmly advised: "Princess, you should go back and persuade your father, and getting along with Dagan is the long-term solution. When you can trade before the border, The people at the junction of the two countries can live in harmony, and their lives are considered stable and prosperous. But later, some people became greedy and wanted to get something for nothing. As a result, they led soldiers to burn, kill and plunder the property of my people. Since then, the door has been closed for a long time. Fighting endlessly, even if Dagan has a rich land, he can not worry about the supply of food and grass, but why do you fight? Even if the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, can they go to the battlefield hungry? If the fight continues like this, neither side will benefit at all. Good thing, it’s a waste of people’s money, but isn’t it more miserable for you? Otherwise, with such a proud temperament as the princess, why would you bend your knees and come to this trip?”

Mian Yue was not untouched by her words, and the expression on her originally unruly face softened a lot, she nodded and said: "Actually, I don't understand what you said, but what I heard is that one of your General Lin first clashed with our soldiers stationed at the border, which made our soldiers unable to swallow their breath and retaliated against the local people by force. This is not our fault."

Qingchen took her into the Fenglu Hall, poured tea with his own hands and handed it over, completely different from the appearance of Fengfeng's radiance before, Mianyue was slightly surprised by her move, quickly took it with both hands, and heard her gently say: "Who is right and who is wrong, it has long been unclear. Let it pass as it was before, and what will be the most important thing in the future. There are many ways for the royal family to protect their people. War should be the last choice, because War will kill people, destroy people’s families, and make them displaced. If there are only old, young, women and children left in a family, and even survival becomes difficult, can this be called protection? The king should find a way to give the people more ways out, so that The most important thing is that they can live better. If they can have a stable life of food, clothing, and stability, will your father be more worry-free in governing the country? The support of the people will make the throne more stable, right?"

Mianyue listened to her quietly, and gradually became agitated, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, you are amazing. I always thought that women with a lot of money would only hide in deep boudoirs and embroider and sew clothes. I never thought that Your Majesty would have such insight. The idea of ​​His Royal Highness is the same as that of the empress, but there are factions in the court who advocate war and those who advocate peace. The political views have never been unified. , father also has no other choice, so he let me and King Anding take this trip, but I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor means?"

Some things should not be revealed too much, as long as she understands what kind of attitude to get along with Dagan, Qingchen lowered his head to drink tea, slightly pursed his lips and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the emperor means that this palace does not It is very clear, I only know that the imperial court still has 30 troops idle and useless, whether to disarm or let them go to the battlefield is really beyond my control."

There is nothing better than this, Princess Mianyue thought about it, and said deeply: "This cup of tea made by your mother really has a special taste, and the aftertaste is long."

Qingchen said lightly: "What's the taste of tea, the princess must know how to taste it."

At the dinner, the emperor entertained the envoys of Daxia with the captured prey, which really made them very happy.The meal was quite enjoyable, King Anding and Mianyue didn't deliberately make things difficult again, after the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Qingchen followed the emperor back to the palace.

After waiting for Xiao Jun to wash up, Qing Chen combed her black hair, and saw the emperor leaning in front of the dressing table and asked, "Mianyue is not so easy to conquer, what did you say to her that made her suddenly become friendly to you?"

"Are you friendly? The concubine didn't think so." Taking off her earrings, Xiao Jun leaned over, picked up a strand of hair from her shoulders and said with a smile, "Guess what Mianyue said to me tonight in a place where no one was around?" what?"

Qingchen shook his head lightly, then chuckled again, "Don't you still want to marry the emperor?"

"If you dare to make fun of me, you will feel better later!" Xiao Jun pulled her hair, and she pushed his hand away in dissatisfaction.

"Mianyue said to me, 'No wonder you love Concubine Chen so much, Your Majesty. Who wouldn't like such an intelligent and gentle woman? Besides, she is so courageous and insightful, she is really a remarkable woman.' I think she loves you so much. The impression seems to be good, it is impossible for you to easily eliminate her hostility towards you without doing anything, so what wise words did you say to her?"

Qingchen got up and smiled and said: "How can I have any knowledge, Mianyue is just a little girl after all, as long as I tell her more about the sufferings of the people, let her have more sympathy, and let her go back and persuade the King of Daxia to turn hostility into friendship, That's the best thing."

Xiao Jun hugged her from behind, pressed against her cheek, and rubbed her affectionately, but felt that things were not so easy and said: "These people are the most difficult to deal with, even if they make peace, they can't lose their momentum. Only when people see their powerful side, they are qualified to negotiate conditions in the next negotiation, otherwise it is not peace but surrender. The emperor of Daxia allowed Mianyue to go with her, but in fact he acquiesced to her nonsense. Otherwise, how would she dare to be so tricky? But you can hold her down, and it will save me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I am a big man, and it is really difficult to deal with it. If I don't know how to measure it, it will make people feel that I am immodest , haggling with a little girl?"
