Daji held the other person's delicate hand and said bluntly: "Sister, it's just you and me here, so we can skip the conventional formalities if possible.
Moreover, the King of Yan defended the country's borders to the death, which was a great service to the country. It is only right and proper for me to call you "sister."
What I mean is that when it’s just the two of us, we can call each other sisters, but when there are outsiders around, you are still just a princess, and I am the queen.
How could Xu Miaoyun not understand this meaning?
She smiled and said, "I'm really flattered to be called sister by the Queen."
Sometimes when women chat, a few casual words can bring them closer together.
Daji said bluntly, "Sister, there have been reports of battles in the North recently. The fighting is very fierce, with both sides winning and losing.

"Our army has fortified its defenses and cleared the countryside..."
Xu Miaoyun sighed, "If this happens, I wonder how many innocent people will die."
Daji also said with a somewhat sorrowful expression, "The crisis facing the Great Qin this time is far greater than any time before. When the war comes, we have no other choice but to win at all costs. Otherwise, more people will die."
After a pause, she continued, "Actually, I came to see you today because I have something to ask of you."
Xu Miaoyun asked curiously, "I wonder what the Queen wants to say?"
Daji said, "I would like to write a letter in my sister's name to the families of several kings of different surnames, inviting them to seek refuge in Xianyang."
