"Don't cry yet, business is more important. It's inevitable that the other party has no other way."
The Queen advised calmly.
As the daughter of the Imperial Censor, how could Concubine De be so stupid?
After hearing what the queen said, he immediately wiped away his tears and tried to calm down.
"De Fei, are you sure there is nothing else you want to tell me?"
Concubine De looked up, looking hesitant...
But it was only for a second.
If the queen wanted to harm them, mother and son, this letter, whether it was implemented or not, would bring them to their knees...
But the queen didn't, and there wasn't a single palace maid around who could testify...
Sincerity is more than enough.
And if the Queen had not turned a blind eye to her mother's family's affairs, she would not have been safe and sound like she is now...
"My lady, I am wrong..."
Defei mustered up her courage and said with tears in her eyes.
I skipped hearing the little princess's inner voice and only said that she had a dream in which her son was trying on her old costumes...
Feeling uneasy, he raided his son's residence...
What happened later was consistent with the temporary request to leave the palace.
Concubine De told the Eighth Prince everything she had discovered in his residence and the burning of all his clothes and cosmetics.
"My lady, I am guilty!
It is my preference, I never forced the two princes before...
Misled Ruier!"
Concubine De was filled with regret, her eyes filled with sadness.
As for her love of singing opera, the queen vaguely remembered that when she was selected to enter the palace, she did hear Concubine De sing a few lines...
However, I never heard about her later moving into Kunning Palace and falling out with the emperor and his concubines.
Upon hearing this, the Queen sighed and said, "What's wrong with you liking opera?
Is it possible that if there is a blacksmith in the family and the son hurts someone with a sword, it is also the parents' fault?"
Defei's throat choked slightly and she looked at the Queen with gratitude.
"Besides, Xiao Ba is just like you. He has the same hobbies as you. It's not shameful. What is there to apologize for?"
After the Queen finished speaking, Concubine De widened her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think...
Ruier's preference, disgusting?"
The Queen looked sincere, she looked into Concubine De's eyes, "Do you think that Xiao Ba's love of drama is disgusting?"
Concubine De shook her head frantically.
The Queen asked again, "Now that this has been exposed, do you feel that Xiao Ba has brought shame upon you?"
Concubine De shook her head without any hesitation.
The Queen asked in return, "Then why should Your Majesty and I feel ashamed and disgusted?"
Not another word.
This is justified and as it should be.
With tears in her eyes, Concubine De stared at the Queen with gratitude.
"Opera originally has the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou, and most of the roles are cross-dressing.
It is just like that, at the palace banquet, the actors in heavy makeup are waiting to perform for His Majesty...
Your Majesty, courtiers, and concubines, do you feel sick?"
Defei's expression relaxed a little and became firmer.
The Queen smiled, "Since there is none, Xiao Ba just likes this form of performance...
When he goes out on weekdays, does he change into women's clothes and put on heavy makeup? "
Without waiting for Concubine De to answer, the Queen continued, "Even if there were no social constraints, I'm worried that people would know...
Do you like wearing women's clothes and dressing like a woman?"
Concubine De shook her head firmly.
"That's it!"
The queen looked relaxed, "In this world, there are not only cross-dressing in opera, but also men cross-dressing as Hua Dan and women cross-dressing as Xiao Sheng...
There are also women who make a living as butchers, and men who make a living as embroiderers...
As long as you learn something, make use of your expertise, don't harm others, and do something you like, what's wrong with that?
Your Majesty's great ambition is to allow the people of Dafeng to live in peace and contentment, and for everyone to live their life the way they want."
