Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 627 Peace Talk
early morning.

The queens are back.

I am used to seeing the scene where the empress and empress walk side by side, but it is still a bit strange to see the scene where the empress arrives first and the emperor comes later.

They originally came in together, but before they came, Concubine Wan chased them out again and put an extra fur collar on the emperor, so there was a delay.

Feelings are a strange thing.

Shenyou used to hold hands with Tang Xi as a matter of course, and always felt that he was childish and would die, and he didn't want to argue with him, so he just held hands, and they were married, and they couldn't hold hands.

But today when they went to court, the two went side by side, and there was an extra concubine Wan who sent them off.

Shenyou knew that Emperor Xi, when he was kind to people, took care of every aspect with that energy.

It was still early and cold.

He nagged twice along the way, "Wan'er, don't come, it's not good if you catch a cold, why don't you wear more clothes."

Twice the collar for her.

Concubine Wan watched him walk in, then called him to stop in a panic.

"You have to sit for a long time, the wind is strong, don't catch a cold." Concubine Wan tied a fur collar on the emperor, and then reluctantly let go of his hand.

The emperor also told her again: "Today's court meeting will take a long time, you go back first, don't wait here for me, you are outside, I will always miss you."

When Concubine Wan heard this, she bit her lip and nodded, a little aggrieved, but also a little obedient.

Shenyou didn't look back, nor did she pause, but she heard these words.

The boy who was a little stupid and had a silly smile seemed to have finally grown up.

It took him many years of courage to even kiss her, but at this moment, he naturally greeted another woman with a tenderness like the sea.

Concubine Wan stood on tiptoe and kissed the emperor lightly, seeing that there was no one around, there was a little joy and happiness on her face.

The emperor also blushed, but still patted her on the shoulder and said: "Go back quickly, it's cold."

Shenyou sat on the back seat, Xihuang Tang Xi sat down a little later, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although he seemed to be quite used to everything in the palace, Tang Xi was not used to going to court.

He didn't understand a lot of what the courtiers said. He came a few times and always heard them quarreling.

It was very noisy.

Also a headache.

He has experienced this war. Although he has no memory of the battlefield, he has a deep memory of the experience of fleeing.

So he doesn't like war.

It is said that the queen went to the battlefield for him.

Thinking of this, Tang Xi felt a little guilty.

But he has no memory at all, and only Wan'er is in his mind, and he promised in front of Uncle Wang that he would take care of Wan'er for the rest of his life.

Now he was sitting side by side with the empress, feeling more uncomfortable and flustered than in the past few days.

After all, the courtiers were somewhat distant, but the queen was sitting beside her.

After taking Wan'er to meet the queen yesterday, the emperor didn't see the queen until this morning.

He returned to the palace and slowly adapted to the life in the palace, and Shi Daban would also introduce him.

It is said that he has no interest in other women in the palace, and he only favored the queen in the past.

But he forgot about the queen, which was a bit unfair to the queen, and he also felt guilty.

I don't know why, but in front of the queen, he always acted awkwardly close to Wan'er, and it was obviously the same before.

But around the queen, I always feel a little strange.

He has no memory of the past at all, but seeing the queen jump off the horse in armor, that scene was so beautiful.

On the way to escape, he wanted to be a hero many times, but he couldn't do it. When he saw injustice, he was always held down by Wan'er. Wan'er stopped him with tears and saved him.

The world is full of troubles, as always.

Now that he suddenly finds out that he is the emperor, he doesn't seem to have much ability to change anything.

But today's court meeting is not only uncomfortable for the emperor, but also for all the ministers.

General Lu hadn't come back yet, he was still in Beicheng, while Yin Jun's youngest son, Yin Xiong, came back first, but he also had a vicissitudes of life, lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were sunken, and his complexion was pale.

Today, the imperial court is the same as the day before the Queen's expedition, and all the lazy ones who asked for leave on weekdays came.

The emperor also noticed that there are more people in the court today than in previous days.

Even more restless, unable to sit still.

His back was injured, and it was really uncomfortable to sit on the hard dragon chair.

Listening to the courtiers playing one by one, I was also a little groggy.

Suddenly the queen suddenly raised her hand...

The voice of the courtier who was speaking below stopped, and the other courtiers also hurriedly avoided, with a look of lingering fear.

But the queen just raised her hand to take a cushion, gave it to the emperor, and stuffed it on the back of the dragon chair.

He didn't speak, but the emperor knew what he meant, he leaned back slightly, and he felt much more comfortable.

But the courtiers at the bottom had a false alarm, thinking that the queen was going to hit him, and continued to explain his point of view after stumbling.

"...Last year, the natural disaster was severe and the weather was cold. This year is the same. The people are starving and have nothing to eat. It is really not suitable to fight again. Xiguo and Shenguo are friends and neighbors. Each takes a step back. The Empress Dowager of Shen Guo also sent a letter willing to negotiate peace, and I think that peace talks are the best strategy for the country of Xi...peace talks...planning the river and governing...sacrifice..."

He stumbled and finished the rest of the content, but he lowered his head and never dared to look at the queen again.

Because he felt that the queen's gaze was staring at him with substance, as if being stared at by a beast.

For a while, the hall was a little quiet.

Very quiet.

The quiet emperor couldn't sit still in the first place, and this moment was even more awkward.

He turned to look at the queen beside him.

Seeing that her eyes were looking at the courtier very peacefully, but she didn't seem to be looking at the courtier, but looked past the courtier and looked into the distance.

What's beyond?
Emperor Xi saw a courtier in the crowd, handsome in appearance, but too thin, it seemed that he was out of shape.

This person is Yin Jun's youngest son, Yin Xiong. The father-in-law next to the emperor reminded him that they had a good relationship back then.

But the queen's eyes didn't fall on him either, she just looked out of the court hall.

What's out there?
Because of the long distance, what was displayed outside was actually only a piece of white light, which was astonishingly bright and a bit glaring.

The distance is far, and the wind will not blow in. Naturally, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair will not be blown by the draft, so the fur collar on the neck is a bit hot.

But still can bear it.

"Do you know why the Queen Mother Shen sent a letter asking for peace talks?"

The empress finally spoke, her voice was crisp and clear, and the words wafted through the entire court hall and lingered in Emperor Xi's ears.

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered.

Not sure what queen means.

The queen really went to the battlefield, and it is said that she was injured. If it wasn't for the imperial decree, she might have fought to the death on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came back alive, forgot about the past, and brought back a woman.

On weekdays, this would be a big melon, and the courtiers would also be gossiping.

Legend has it that before Emperor Xi loved the queen very much, for the sake of the queen, other women would not even look at her, but she didn't want to. The queen went to the battlefield to find the emperor, and the emperor returned with a woman himself.

But at this moment, the courtiers couldn't care less about watching the excitement, even Yin Kezhou didn't know how to respond to the queen's question, and always felt his face was hot.

Yin Xiong went out: "Shen Guo's army attacked Beicheng, planning to break through the city in three days. On the third day, the queen arrived, and Beicheng was held for ten days, twenty days, and thirty days... Shen Guo wanted peace talks because they knew , They can't attack Beicheng, they have to recharge their energy, and use Xiguo's rice grains to fatten them up, and when they attack Xiguo again, Shenguo is no longer a state of etiquette. If peace talks are not possible, the army of Xi State should push out the army of State Shen and drive them out of Xi State. On the battlefield, there is only life and death, and there is no peace talk."

As soon as Yin Xiong finished speaking, he was met with a lot of rebuttals. Although he is Yin Jun's son, everyone was still unambiguous about matters related to his own interests.

They don't want to fight anymore, they don't want to fight anymore, even if they lose a city or two, and offer things to Shen Guoshang, as long as it doesn't affect their business.

Anyway, it is not ashamed to admit that Shen Guo is number one in the world, as it was before.

The courtiers looked like they were about to quarrel again, buzzing, buzzing, and in the end the majority were willing to negotiate peace.

At this moment, Yin Jun suddenly asked the emperor by name.

Emperor Xi Tang Xi was still a little confused. When asked, he subconsciously felt a little nervous. He naturally didn't want to fight. His experience along the way was very bad. It was all because of fighting. The same was true for Wan'er. If it wasn't for fighting, she wouldn't Even if she is separated from her brother, her father will not die.

"I think we should make peace."

The queen stood up suddenly, flung her sleeves and left, leaving behind a sentence: "The reason you can negotiate peace is because countless people died in the front. I hope you will not regret it."
