But the eunuch sighed and said, "Your Highness, how could you not know this? This is just a diplomatic tactic. They will naturally send you a few beauties in the hope of making the two countries friendly. There is nothing you can do about it."
"If someone gives you two beauties as a gift, but you don't take them seriously, it means you are challenging his authority. If problems arise between the two countries, it will be a precursor to war."
"For the safety of the country and the people, Your Majesty, please think twice."
Xiao Yun snorted coldly and said, "Think twice? I won't think twice. Not only that, I won't accept those women. If they dare to have such thoughts again, I will not be polite!"
Seeing Xiao Yun's extremely cold attitude, the eunuch took a breath and then lowered his head to look at the ground.
Xiao Yun frowned and looked at him and said, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
The eunuch replied, "It's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from Your Majesty, but I heard the news that these beauties are already on their way. If Your Majesty wants to send them back, it may be difficult."
"Since these women have been sent here, they cannot be returned. Your Majesty, do you think we should prepare a few rooms for these women?"
Xiao Yun chuckled, but his smile did not reach his eyes.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Does Qiao Yege know about this?"
The eunuch quickly shook his head and said, "Ms. Qiao naturally doesn't know about this. I also know that Miss Qiao is a very strong-willed person. If she knew about this, she would definitely not stay in the palace, nor would she stay by your side."
"So I didn't tell Miss Qiao... But since these girls are coming, how long can this be kept secret? Miss Qiao will know sooner or later. How will the emperor end it then?"
"It would be better to explain this matter to Miss Qiao in advance. I think Miss Qiao will definitely understand."
Xiao Yunyu: "She won't understand. Even if she wants to understand, I won't give her the chance."
When the eunuch heard what the emperor said, he immediately shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this matter cannot be handled on impulse. I know that you want to give Miss Qiao a lifetime of happiness as a couple, but this is related to the royal family!"
"The people are watching. You gave these girls away in order to refuse to accept these beauties and to give Qiao Yuge a harem. You challenged the authority of other countries. Naturally, people from other countries would use this as an excuse to start a war..."
"If a war really breaks out, it will cost the people money and manpower, and the only ones who will be hurt are the common people. How can the common people accept that the emperor of the country of Yu chooses to go to war with another country for a woman? If this matter gets out, the reputation of your Ming army will be in jeopardy."
Xiao Yun turned to the eunuch and said, "When did I have the reputation of being a wise ruler? I have always just followed my heart. What I say is what it is. Even if I have to bear the stigma of the world, I will never allow the enemy country to dare to send women to my country! Will I give them this kind of face?"
"Send someone to stop them and tell them that I don't allow them to enter the palace. Don't say that these women were sent to me. I don't like them, so why did they send people here?"
Eunuch stood there without moving. If it had happened before, Eunuch would have definitely compromised.
But this time, Eunuch stood there with a very firm expression.
That expression clearly showed that she hoped the emperor would think twice.
As soon as Xiao Yun saw the eunuch's expression, he knew what he was thinking, but he did not compromise and stared at the eunuch and said, "You want to resist the imperial edict, right?"
Eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. This matter is of great importance and concerns the country and the lives of the people. Even if you think that what I am doing now is against the imperial decree, I will definitely resist stubbornly!"
"No common people want to fight. They are just a few beauties. Even if the emperor takes them into his harem, as long as he doesn't favor them, what's the harm in banishing them to the cold palace? Why do you have to send them back halfway? Isn't that a slap in the face of the enemy emperor?"
Xiao Yun also bit his lips tightly. He had always kept his word in the palace and no one dared to question him.
Although every decision he made seemed absurd, it also had its reason.
So when Eunuch chose to disobey his orders, he found it a little unbelievable.
But at the same time, I also know that what Grandpa did was not wrong.
My father-in-law thinks a lot and is very reasonable.
He sighed, then leaned back in his chair and said to the eunuch, "I thought that since I had the whole world, I had the right to speak and could give Qiao Yuge everything she wanted."
"I am the emperor. What can override me? It seems that I am in this position and I really have no choice."
"I just spent two days with Qiao Yuge, and now I have to say goodbye to Qiao Yuge?"
Eunuch looked at Xiao Yun.
He knew that Xiao Yun was persuaded by him.
Eunuch Xiao's insistence made Xiao Yun realize the current situation.
He said, "If Your Highness is unable to speak, then this old servant and the head nanny will go and talk to Miss Qiao."
"Miss Qiao is so well-educated and sensible that she will definitely forgive you. Don't worry."
After saying this, Eunuch immediately stood up and prepared to go meet Qiao Yuge.
However, Xiao Yun grabbed hold of Eunuch Xiao and said, "Since I caused the trouble, I should explain it myself. If I don't even have the courage to do this, how can I face Qiao Yuge in the future?"
"I am willing to fight for what belongs to Qiao Yege, even if it means being misunderstood by her."
Eunuch sighed, seemingly not moved by the emperor's deep affection. Instead, he looked at the emperor helplessly and said to him, "Your Highness, why are you doing this? Life is short, why do you have to take on so many responsibilities?"
"Even if you like Qiao Yege and even if you are fascinated by her, Miss Qiao is not the only one in the world. If you look for a woman like her carefully, you will naturally find her."
"But why did you have to focus on her? After being firmly grasped by her, you actually acted like a possessed person?"
Xiao Yun sighed, lowered his head and smiled to himself, and said to him: "I am willing to be tied to him, I am willing to be obsessed with her, what can you do to me?"
Eunuch sighed and then chuckled.
