Before Emperor Hongcheng could speak, Concubine Chen laughed first.

"Don't worry, sister. I didn't say that Qingti should go to the marriage alliance.

The eighth prince of Dajing is handsome and powerful. I heard that he is the most loved by Emperor Jing....Haha, people may not like her."

Empress Song's eyebrows immediately stood up. Even Buddhas can get angry, let alone people.

Relying on her background from the holy place of meditation, Cixin Temple, Concubine Chen often tripped up the Empress and played tricks on her.

Fortunately, Empress Song had no sons, and her daughter was weak and sickly, so she didn't have the heart to fight.

Basically, she didn't care about her.

But today she was too bullying and dared to mock her daughter. This was intolerable.

Empress Song was furious and was about to lose her temper in public.

But Emperor Hongcheng stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder,

"That's enough. It's already this late and you still have the heart to argue.

My beloved concubine, please explain clearly. Apart from Ti'er, I can't think of any other unmarried princesses."

The ministers in the palace also turned their eyes to Concubine Chen.

The beautiful woman smiled.

��Your Majesty, how can you be so forgetful? Besides Ti'er, don't you have Qi'er?"

Emperor Hongcheng was stunned, and so were the ministers. Everyone's eyes turned to the person in the hall.

That was Song Shixiong, the Grand Commander of the Eastern Army and the Queen's younger brother.

Commander Song had just returned to the capital the day before yesterday. He had suffered a defeat in the south, and his army was completely wiped out.

Only he escaped with serious injuries. If it weren't for his special status, he would have been beheaded by the emperor as a warning to others.

Standing in the hall now, he was more confused than anyone else.

""My Lady, you must be wrong. Didn't Princess Qingqi have an engagement with my son?

If there hadn't been this war, they would have gotten married."

Concubine Chen smiled leisurely.

"It's just an engagement, not a wedding. Governor Song, the country is in danger now, and Qi'er, as a princess, must take her own responsibilities.

For the sake of the overall situation, I have to let your son down.

Don't worry, after Qi'er marries the eighth prince of Dajing, I will find another good marriage for your son."

When these words came out, Emperor Hongcheng frowned, the ministers whispered, and Song Shixiong almost exploded with anger.

"You bitch. In order to win me over, you took the initiative to ask His Majesty for a marriage.

For my son, I even offended my own sister and obeyed your orders.

Now, all my soldiers have died and are worthless, and you want to kick me away. How hateful and annoying."

He was full of anger, not knowing where to vent. His anger attacked his heart, affecting his injuries, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Second brother."

Queen Song was startled and stood up immediately. Although this brother was not of the same mind as her and had previously been involved with her mortal enemy, he was still a blood relative after all. Seeing him vomiting blood, she felt sorry for him and wanted to go down to help him, but Song Shixiong waved his hand and refused.

Concubine Chen smiled unchanged,

"Governor Song is injured, so he should rest carefully."

Sister Queen, what do you think of my proposal? Do you want Ti'er to marry or Qi'er?"

Queen Song was so angry that her teeth itched. If her words were effective, she would just let Concubine Chen, the bitch, to marry.

She looked at Emperor Hongcheng with a pleading look, and the head of the family was also a little embarrassed.

While hesitating, a eunuch ran in to report,

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty envoy Zhang Yi is here to see you."

"Zhang Yi, who is this person? I have never heard of him!"

The ministers were also discussing this. Needless to say, they all guessed that the purpose of the people coming from Daxia at this time was nothing more than to persuade them to surrender.

If it was before, they would have seriously considered it.

Now, seeing that there was hope for an alliance with Dajing, these frightened civil officials and military generals began to tremble again.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Daxia must have bad intentions. Why not just chop off his head and teach Jiang Hao a lesson?"

"Lord Hu is wrong. When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. I think you should spare his life, chop off his limbs, and send him back to Daxia."

"Haha, Lord Cui's suggestion is good. Otherwise, it would be fine to hang him on the city wall, which can inspire the people of Dahong to unite against the enemy."

The crowd was excited and murderous.

But Emperor Hongcheng still felt that something was wrong. It was really that the army of Daxia was too powerful.

The peerless villain Wang Jian and the newly arrived Zhang Han were not far from Dahong.

What if they were really angered and led their troops to kill directly, and Dajing didn't have time to rescue them?

He coughed heavily to stop the discussion of the ministers.

Just as he was wondering whether he should meet Zhang Yi, Concubine Chen spoke again

"Your Majesty, now is the critical moment for us to form an alliance with Dajing.

It is better not to receive the envoys from Daxia, lest the Eighth Prince hears the news and becomes unhappy."

Emperor Hongcheng sighed. Although he was the emperor, he was not strong enough to deal with the situation. He could not even decide to receive foreign envoys in his own capital. He felt ashamed and sad.

He suddenly felt a little discouraged.

"There is no need to meet the envoys from Daxia. Send someone to take them to the posthouse and treat them well. Do not neglect them, lest we lose the etiquette and face of our Dahong Dynasty.

As for the candidate for the marriage, let Qi'er be chosen. Ai Fei is her biological mother. This matter is left to you.

Discuss it with Liu Song and make sure Dajing sends reinforcements as soon as possible."

After saying this, without even looking at other people's reactions, he just swung his sleeves and went back to the inner palace. A new batch of beautiful girls entered the inner court yesterday, and today he is so angry that he urgently needs those beautiful girls in their prime to help him extinguish it.

As for other things, let's talk about it after the fun is over, anyway, Concubine Chen will arrange everything.

Looking at the figure who quickly disappeared in the hall without looking back, the ministers looked at each other, and suddenly they all felt a little bored.

They were also full of confusion about the future fate of the Dahong Dynasty, and could only take it one step at a time.

Outside the palace, Zhang Yi, who was refused to meet by Emperor Hongcheng, did not change his expression at all.

As soon as he arrived in Tianning City, he heard the news of the envoys from the Dajing Dynasty. He thought he would have to argue with them in the hall, but he didn't expect the Dahong side to not give him a chance.

It seems that Emperor Hongcheng has made a decision.

"They would rather get close to their northern powerful neighbor who has always bullied them than accept the benevolent and friendly Great Xia.

How foolish Emperor Hongcheng is.

It's time to remind him and let them face the facts."

Zhang Yi waved his feather fan lightly,

"Where is the Dajing envoy now?"

A guard answered in a low voice,"The Jinyiwei spy just sent a message that the eighth prince of the Dajing Dynasty and his entourage have just moved into the Tingyu Villa next to the palace."

"Okay, let's go there to join in the fun.

Since we can't meet Emperor Hongcheng, let's go meet his reinforcements first.

I believe that after this trip, the Dahong side will see our sincerity."
