My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 267: Discussing pros and cons, the princess becomes a lobbyist

"You're still pregnant. Why don't you rest more in the house? What are you doing here at this time?"

For Princess Qinghuan, the old emperor felt love in the palm of his hand and love in his eyes, so everything she did was reasonable and reasonable. Even if she left her father and left her son, the old emperor felt that as long as his daughter liked her, it was okay.

Therefore, Princess Qinghuan also knew how to manipulate the old emperor's thoughts, so she touched her belly and said.

"This child has been very noisy since he got up early. I thought that he might miss his father a little, so he brought him in to see his father. Who knew that he would meet General Pei and Mrs. Pei? What a coincidence, but What’s wrong with Mrs. Pei? There’s a blood mark on her forehead?”

"It's nothing. Mrs. Pei has something to ask for. Father has not made a decision yet. Since you are here, you should also give me some advice. She wants to reconcile with Mr. Pei. Qing Huan, do you think I should not do it?"

The old emperor's words made the Pei family's mother and son's eyes instantly shift to Princess Qinghuan. Pei Zifeng knew that the princess could not make such a trip for no reason, so he was so sure that she would help him and his mother.

As a result, I heard Princess Qinghuan say something calmly.

"If Mrs. Pei was motivated by righteousness, the marriage would naturally not be divorced. But if it was a personal affair, I feel that the divorce should have been made twenty years ago when Teacher Pei took a concubine."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Although my father is in Xijing City, I must have heard a lot about Mr. Pei's family affairs. It's not surprising that officials and ministers have several wives and concubines, but someone like Mr. Pei who dotes on his concubines and destroys his wife, it's not surprising. I really don’t hear much about it, but the Wu family in Xuanzhou is also a famous family in Dasui. They happily sent their daughter away for the imperial grandfather’s marriage decree, but in the end they got twenty After years of forbearance, had my father ever heard Wu complain to anyone? On the contrary, Marshal Pei was very fond of the aunt, secretly and overtly, and did not take the imperial grandfather's marriage into consideration at all. "In comparison, my father must not be deceived by Lao Shizi's words. I feel that Wu's ability to endure until today to ask for the imperial edict of peace and separation is already the limit."

Princess Qinghuan gave another perspective, which reminded the old emperor.

The Wu family in Xuanzhou has always been loyal to Da Sui, and is much more loyal than the Pei family who are closer to the King of Han. If they can do a favor for them this time, it will actually be better than tying them to the Pei family.

Therefore, this combined with what Pei Zifan said just now made the old emperor shaken.

Seeing the relaxed look on his expression, Pei Zifeng and Mrs. Pei were waiting for the old emperor to make up his mind, and Princess Qinghuan added a final touch and then said.

"It's better to let go of the quicksand that you can't catch, so as not to become a resentful couple day by day, which will turn a good thing into a bad thing and make the loss outweigh the gain. This is what my father and his son said back then. Do you still remember it?"

Of course the old emperor remembered this.

It was precisely because of this that he fell even more in love with Princess Qinghuan, who knew how to let go. He had fallen in love with someone in his life, but in the end he failed to get the same response. When resentment arose, he had doubts about being **** like this. Is it because of the so-called "love" that you keep someone by your side, or is it just out of breath?

So after being reminded by Princess Qinghuan, when he looked at Mrs. Pei, he saw himself when he was young, so he felt some compassion and relaxed.

"Okay, since the princess has opened her mouth for you, I will agree to this matter. I will get the imperial edict later. The in-laws of the Pei and Wu families, please stop it. In the future, you can marry freely without interference from others."

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei burst into tears of gratitude.

She never thought that she would be separated from the Pei family for the rest of her life. Her stubborn tone suddenly disappeared at this moment. She truly kowtowed to the old emperor and thanked him. The true expression of her feelings at this moment made the old emperor sad. The emperor had some insights. Then he glanced at his beloved daughter and said something to Pei Zisu.

"You stay, I have something to ask you!"

"I obey the decree!"

At this moment, he was still Little General Pei, so whatever the emperor said was what he said. Princess Qinghuan understood what her father wanted to ask, so she took Mrs. Pei to the side hall to wait.

This was the first time that the two of them had such close contact. Although Mrs. Pei was not reserved, she was not warm enough to talk to the princess. Therefore, Princess Qinghuan asked and she answered, just like the emperor and Pei Zifeng in the imperial study room. Two people.

"I have handed over the family leader's letter and seal. Do you really not want the Pei family anymore?"

When the old emperor's words came out, Pei Zisu was a little shocked. He had been sure that Princess Qinghuan would "secretly hide" the family seal in order to have a big enough trump card in the future to seize power, but he did not expect that such a thing, the emperor Already knew it.

The trust between Princess Qinghuan and the old emperor seemed to be far beyond his imagination, so he thought quickly and answered respectfully.

"I don't have much kindness towards the Pei family, and after the victory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, if I continue to take credit and be arrogant, I will kill myself. Therefore, I gave the family head's seal to the princess in order to ensure the safety of the family."

"Why did you choose the princess instead of the prince?"

This question made Pei Zichen temporarily speechless. It was an established fact that the old emperor preferred the princess in his heart, but how did he know that the old emperor would dislike the prince to the point of dislike?

If he answered wrongly, he was afraid that everything he planned today would be in vain, but in the end he still answered sincerely.

"Before attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty, I once disguised myself and went to the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I saw how miserable those innocent people lived after they were forced to be involved in the war. I asked myself that I couldn't do anything for them, but I always thought about it. , if the world can be unified and the four seas can return to one heart, under the leadership of wise and enlightened people, Your Majesty, the people will definitely be able to live a good life, but the premise of all this is that there will be no more wars. Therefore, I am not choosing the princess over the prince, but like your majesty, I am choosing the child in the princess's womb, Da Sui Ruo. Without those intrigues, we will surely be able to create a greater prosperity!"

When Pei Zisu said this, he was not completely sure.

The only thing he was betting on was whether the old emperor was also weighing the pros and cons, hoping to turn the conflict into friendship so that Xijing City and Hanzhou could avoid a fratricidal war.

After he finished speaking, the old emperor in the seat remained silent for a long time.

I just remembered an incident from the past. At that time, his relationship with the King of Han had not deteriorated to such an extent, so while they were drinking and chatting happily, I heard him mention a few words of appreciation for the young Pei Zifan.

"If this child is the emperor's younger brother's child, it will be his great fortune."

Now it seems that fortunately this son is not the child of the King of Han. This is the real blessing for Da Sui.
