"Yes."

"That's even more inappropriate."

Helian Ye shook his head.

"In that battle, our Northern Jin lost five cities, and my father still holds a grudge against it. You are asking him to marry his granddaughter to a foreign ruler. Isn't that like stabbing my father in the heart?"

Emperor Chengtai: "..."

How could you stab someone in the back? You're ruining your enemy's granddaughter; that old man is probably secretly pleased.

But he couldn't say it aloud.

He simply said, "Perhaps you could ask your father for his opinion."

Helian Ye smiled.

"My father has entrusted me with the entire matter of the marriage alliance, so it is naturally up to me to make the decision."

We have come with sincerity in this marriage alliance, and we hope that Your Majesty will also give us the respect we deserve.

We will not accept that commoner girl; she is not even worthy of being a concubine.

I have heard that the daughters of the Marquis of Xuanyi's family are all as dignified and elegant as the Imperial Concubine, knowledgeable and reasonable, with graceful bearing, making them even more suitable to be our Northern Jin's successor.

Please, Your Majesty, do not be stingy.

Emperor Chengtai was already in the wrong, and seeing that Helian Ye wouldn't budge an inch, he had no choice but to agree.

"Very well, I will reconsider the choice of a marriage alliance."

After Helian Ye left, he remained silent for a while before going to Yikun Palace.

"Which girl from your Xuanyi Marquis's mansion is most suitable to be sent to the Northern Jin for a political marriage?"

The imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, hasn't the choice of a bride for the peace treaty been finalized?"

The imperial edict has been issued.

They changed their minds after only one day?

"The second prince of Beijin thinks the Yun family's daughters are of low status and insists on having a noblewoman. Your daughter from the Xuanyi Marquis's mansion has a good reputation and has caught his eye."

The imperial concubine nearly crushed her silver teeth.

She finally managed to persuade the emperor to allow Yun Shu to marry into a foreign land, but Xiao Qingyin actually managed to turn the second prince of Bei Jin against him so quickly?

She lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then came up with a plan.
