The grassland was not too far from the capital, and everyone enjoyed the mountains and rivers and the grassland scenery along the way. It only took half a month to reach Korqin.

Kangxi chose a single grassland to station his troops there, which was heavily guarded and strictly defended. A special token was required to enter and exit.

When Xiyu saw that the child was asleep, she changed her clothes and went to the Queen Mother's tent.

It was still early, and Xiyu, Yunran and others accompanied the empress dowager in a stroll around the camp. Soon, the Tenth Prince joined them with a few young princes.

Although yurts have sprung up here and there, unlike in the capital, the yurts do not block the view of the sky like the buildings in the capital.

The sky here is even bluer and boundless, merging with the vast grassland on the border.

There was soft grass under my feet.

In the distance, there are herds of cattle and sheep strolling leisurely.

What you hear and see is full of vitality.

The Queen Mother looked at the grandchildren who were eager to try and smiled kindly, "Go ahead, you young people, go and have fun. You don't have to stay here with me."

Hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince, who had been eager to make a move, did not hesitate at all, "Thank you, Madam Queen. I will definitely bring you something good later."

He rushed out like a flash of smoke, followed closely by the Thirteenth Prince and Sarina.

The Tenth Prince glanced at Sarnai's departing back, thought for a moment, and followed him.

My mother said that Sarina was the candidate chosen by the emperor as the tenth wife, which means that this girl would be his future legitimate wife.

There are many people on the grassland and they have many eyes, so he needs close protection.

Yun Ran also wanted to go, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "You stay."

She was a little confused, but since the Queen Mother asked her to stay, she had no choice but to obey.

Xi Yu thought to herself that the Queen Mother might have asked Yun Ran to stay because she had something to say, so she didn’t want to keep her for too long. “Then my daughter-in-law…”

The Queen Mother held her back with her other hand, "You stay too."

She then dismissed most of the guards and only kept a few trusted ones.

The Queen Mother led a few people to a secluded place in the camp and said, "You come with us and help Xiao Qi take a look."

An expert? Could it be...

Sure enough, after an incense stick of time, they met a tall and mighty man head-on.

He was very tall, probably about 1.9 meters according to modern measurement standards.

He has an upright figure, wheat-colored skin, narrow and deep eyes, typical almond-shaped eyes. His hair is thick and black, all braided and combed behind his head.

Although he is not the kind of handsome man described in the storybooks, his facial contours are smooth, his nose is high, his brows are sharp, and his eyes are clear. He has a very tough appearance.

Xiyu looked at him calmly and had a good impression of him. He thought he was not a treacherous and cunning person.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and she nodded in affirmation.

Yun Ran on the side still looked confused and had no idea of ​​the identity of the person in front of him.

"Guorlos Sukhbaru of the Khorchin Left Wing Guorlos Front Banner greets the Queen Mother, the wife of Prince Yong, and Princess Jingxian."

Sukhbaru performed a standard grassland salute and then a palace salute to show his respect.

As he exerted force, the muscles in his shoulders tightened slightly, making him look even stronger and more solid.

A low voice entered Yun Ran's ears. She was stunned for a moment before she shifted her gaze to the man in front of her who was as tall as a hill. She felt a surge of heat rising up in her.

She looked at the Queen Mother helplessly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

The Queen Mother patted her hands, then turned to Sukhbaru and said, "Get up."

She watched Sukhbalu's standard movements and felt even more satisfied.

He is a person who is willing to work hard.

In order to make it easier to walk on the grassland, Yun Ran changed into clean and neat clothes before going out, and braided her hair into the braids that grassland girls like.

The rosy skirt fluttered slightly in the breeze, bringing with it a scent of a girl.

Sukhbaru stood up slowly, his body suddenly rising, as steady as a mountain.

His eyes were dark and deep, like a deep pool. At this moment, he was staring at Yun Ran quietly with a heavy gaze.

Yun Ran was keenly aware of Sukhbaru's gaze and felt that it was a bit hot and rude, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

She instinctively felt a little timid, but her status as a Qing princess did not allow her to retreat.

With pride in her heart, she puffed out her chest, raised her eyes pretentiously and glared at him, looking like she was not showing any weakness.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and for a moment there seemed to be a sizzling sound of collision and friction flowing in the air.

The stubbornness in the little girl's eyes made Sukhbalu suddenly startled, and a hint of surprise flowed in his deep eyes.

It only took a moment for him to return to normal, but his eyes became even more serious.

"You are here because the emperor wants to summon you. Go quickly."

The two sides only exchanged a brief encounter before the Queen Mother took Yun Ran and Xi Yu away first, leaving Sukhbaaru standing there, his dark and narrow eyes fixed on Yun Ran's back.

Seeing the other party walking further and further away, he chuckled after a moment and turned away.

Yun Ran remained upright the whole time, and only when the burning gaze behind him disappeared did he breathe a sigh of relief without making a sound.

The man's eyes looked so dangerous and aggressive that she almost couldn't hold on.

She blushed just now not because she liked this man, but because this man might become her husband in the future, so she felt a little shy.

The three of them returned along the same route to the Queen Mother's tent and asked Nanny Fang Lan to wait outside.

The Queen Mother and Xiyu looked at each other and successfully saw the curiosity in each other's eyes.

A few people sat down and someone served them the grassland's unique milk tea.

The Queen Mother loved it and said, "Try it and see if you can get used to it."

Seeing that the two were very curious about the taste of the milk tea and were concentrating on drinking the tea, she looked at Yun Ran with a kind smile, "Are you satisfied?"

Yun Ran looked up in confusion, and seeing the gossipy looks in the two men's eyes, he suddenly realized that what happened just now was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement.

She pursed her lips which were a little wet from drinking milk tea. Words like "dangerous, aggressive, and looks a little rude" lingered in her mind for a few times, and all of them were transformed into polite compliments.

"He looks like an honest and simple person."

As soon as these words came out, the two people who were looking at her with a smile couldn't hold back any more and laughed out loud.

It made her even more confused.
