The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty
Chapter 251 Leaving the Capital
Qingyin was a little surprised. She had thought that Emperor Xuanwu might change his attitude, but she never expected that he would actually prevent her from marrying.
After all, the original body's marriage had already been announced to the leader of the grassland.
However, Qingyin saw the serious look in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes and understood his sincerity. She raised her beautiful face and looked at Emperor Xuanwu seriously: "Father, your daughter wants to go to the grassland."
"I know what the Emperor wants, but I want to prove that a woman can be as good as my brother the Crown Prince."
Emperor Xuanwu was silent for a long time. "Okay, since you think so, just tell me about Mongolia. I will agree to your request."
……
Having achieved her goal, Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of the palace. After she had explained everything to the Emperor, she no longer had to worry about her mother. She could only wait until after she arrived in Mongolia...
It was late at night, dark clouds covered the sky, and a light rain had begun to fall from the sky, just like Lin Huai's gloomy mood at the moment. The unspeakable feelings were suppressed in his heart, mocking his arrogance.
He originally thought that he was a gentleman who was not interested in women, but in the end, when he saw the eldest princess at the banquet that day, he had lost his soul.
I even forgot how annoyed and disgusted the princess was when she first came to see him. It was obvious that he was ungrateful...
The servant standing behind his master did not dare to disturb his master's deep thoughts. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. With his concentration, he only heard the master's very quiet voice: "I regret it."
But no matter how many people regret it, the day for Qingyin to leave has come.
When they came, Tuoba Xun and his group were so simple, but when they left, they were so cautious.
The plain and simple carriage was replaced with one that looked simple on the outside but not plain, and luxurious and soft on the inside. The army following around was not only Tuoba Xun, but also dozens of people following behind. If the court officials had not stopped him and said that there were too many people and it seemed like they were going to a war instead of a marriage, Emperor Xuanwu would have wanted to send a few hundred more people to protect them.
If Qingyin had not appeared, Tuoba Xun would have opposed this action. However, having seen Qingyin before, he understood Emperor Xuanwu's thoughts very well.
The eldest princess is like a treasure, and no amount of protection is too much.
In the carriage, Qingyin leaned against the spacious carriage, and Yuqin was peeling fresh fruit to ensure that Qingyin could eat it when she woke up on the road.
The long procession of carriages stirred up some dust in the capital.
It also blocked the thoughts of some people standing in the restaurant.
When they left the capital, it was already dark. In order to ensure the eldest princess's rest, the carriage did not move fast.
Qingyin even took a nap on the way, and Yuqin was afraid of waking her up, so she also waited outside the carriage.
When Qingyin woke up and opened the curtain, she saw layers of stars lighting up the sky, and various tall soldiers standing guard around.
Looking at the familiar General Chen Wangsheng outside the window, Qingyin raised her head in surprise, her voice still soft and sleepy because she had just woken up: "General, what is this...?"
Chen Wangsheng was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at the face that made his heart beat faster. He said, "Princess, we have already left the capital and are still some distance away from the nearest city. I plan to set up camp here and continue on the journey tomorrow morning?"
Looking at the obviously shy General Chen Wangsheng, Qingyin curled her red lips slightly: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, General."
"But I have to have everything, right?"
"Don't worry, Princess. I'm ready."
Qingyin was not surprised by his overly enthusiastic expression. She nodded casually and closed the curtain.
After a while, Yuqin also came back.
Yuqin, who had taken care of the princess for many years, obviously knew all of the princess' habits. She brought a variety of fresh fruits and freshly cooked dishes and placed them in front of Qingyin.
"Princess, please try some. These fruits were picked by the two generals in the forest on the road. I think they are quite good, so I washed some and brought them over."
"Yeah, okay." Qingyin nodded. She was not in a hurry to taste the fruits. She picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks. The familiar taste made her raise her head in surprise.
"This smell?"
Yuqin looked at the princess's expression and said with understanding, "Princess, this is because His Majesty has moved the chef from the imperial kitchen, who is your favorite, to the team. This is just right for when the princess wants to eat, she doesn't have to go out to buy what she likes."
It has to be said that when the emperor really wants to make compensation, what he can do is absolutely sincere.
People always tend to feel sleepy after eating.
Qingyin rubbed her sleepy eyes, and Yuqin attentively brought hot water for the princess to wash.
The power structures on the grassland are complex. Due to its vast territory and sparse population, it is divided into eight relatively powerful tribes. The current leader is Hertz, who was formerly of medium power. He leads the Spirit Eagle Tribe, which has suddenly developed and suppressed other tribes, becoming the current Khan of the grassland.
The leaders of the other seven tribes did not change, but were automatically one level lower than Hertz.
Many people are already satisfied with this result, and this top-down reform can be considered a success.
It’s just because of the establishment of the Great Khan that the original leaders of these tribes are not used to gathering together to discuss political affairs like in the Central Plains.
Especially for several tribal leaders who were not on good terms with each other, for example, the leaders of the Tianshui tribe and the Ulu tribe, both of whom were hot-tempered people, and they would often escalate their quarrels from verbal fights to fist fights when they met. If it were not for the suppression of the Khan, I am afraid that the two would fight to the death every day.
It made the onlookers terrified.
Hertz in the tent heard his men say: "The leader of the Tianshui tribe, Xitu, and the leader of the Ulu tribe, Lazo, are fighting again."
Without even raising an eyebrow, Hertz looked at his anxious subordinates and said calmly, "Tell them that whoever kills first, I will replace him with someone else to take their place."
"Yes, Khan."
Seeing that the matter with the two leaders had been resolved, Tuts looked at the handsome Khan in front of him who did not show any tenderness, and could not help but doubt whether the delicate princess from the Qing Dynasty could become their wife. Moreover, all the women in the entire grassland were thinking about the outstanding Khan, and he was afraid that the princess could not withstand the suppression of these Mongolian noble ladies.
As Toots thought about this, he felt a little sympathy for the princess who was about to arrive.
Hertz glanced at Toots who hadn't left yet, "Anything else?"
Tuts bowed his head respectfully and said, "Great Khan, the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty is about to arrive. Please arrange for her to stay in your tent."
"No need, just arrange a tent for her. Don't tell me if you have anything to say, just give her whatever she wants." Seeing that it was something unrelated to politics, Hertz's face showed a hint of irritation. As a workaholic, he didn't care about the woman who might be his wife in the future.
Tuts was not surprised to see the Khan in this state.
Just counting the days and watching the eldest princess who was supposed to arrive but had not yet arrived, Tuts, a warrior trusted by the Khan, felt a little panicked.
He wanted to report it to the Khan, but unfortunately the Khan didn't care about such a small matter.
In the end, he was the only one who was worried, and at this moment, Qingyin, whom he was worried about, was being diligently taken care of by Tuoba Xun and Chen Wangsheng on the road.
If Qingyin wanted the stars in the sky, I'm afraid that even if the two of them could do it, they would try their best to pick them and give them to Qingyin.
It was hard to find fault with Qingyin in this travel life that was like treating a god. Later on, Qingyin just lay down and could not show her original personality. So that was it. She really had no other choice but to just deduct a few points. She didn't care about those few points anyway.
"Princess, I got some fresh wild grapes. Would you like to try some?" Yuqin called out eagerly.
"Well, okay." Qingyin Xianyu was startled and sat up leisurely.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s close to the grassland and there’s more sunlight, but the wild fruits here are getting sweeter and sweeter. Qingyin loves the taste very much. It’s a pity that the grapes are a little small, otherwise they would really have no shortcomings.
Qingyin made up her mind that when she got to the grassland, she would study this kind of grape carefully, try to make it grow big, abundant and sweet, and then eat them all at once.
Looking at the princess eating happily, Yuqin smiled happily.
The other two men on horseback were not feeling very happy. As they got closer and closer to the grassland, they became noticeably more restless.
Especially after seeing the carriages gathered in the center, the jealousy in his heart became more intense.
Out of his rival's instinct, Tuoba Xun looked at the hostility in the other man's eyes and tutted unhappily, "Let's go out and fight?"
The one who answered him was Chen Wangsheng who dismounted and turned around without hesitation.
Tuoba Xun followed until they came to a deserted forest.
The two men fought fiercely like wild beasts, violently, rushing towards each other with blood waving. They tacitly agreed not to hit each other in the face, but even so, in the end, the places blocked by the clothes were covered with bruises.
The two of them, who had lost their last bit of strength, lay on the ground. Tuoba Xun didn't look at anyone, as if he was talking to himself: "I won't let anyone hurt the princess or Da Yanshi. No one can do that."
Chen Wangsheng laughed disdainfully, as if sneering at the person in front of him, "Just say this to yourself."
After a while, the two of them got up tacitly, packed their clothes, and left the forest.
The soldiers coming and going looked at the marks on the two generals' bodies and tacitly said nothing, ignoring them equally.
Qingyin didn't know that the two generals had started fighting over her affairs. She listened to Yuqin's words, "In another day, we will reach the grassland."
This means that she is about to meet her husband, whom she has never met, the Khan who unified the grassland.
Hopefully, she is a love-brained person. With this beautiful thought in mind, Qingyin fell into a sweet dream.
The next day, they arrived at the grassland faster than Qingyin had imagined.
The grassland is vast, and several tribes are scattered in various places, but it can be seen that the central area is different from others and looks a lot more gorgeous.
Looking at the places that could not be compared with the Qing Dynasty, Qingyin got off the carriage and held his breath, hoping that everything would go well.
Qingyin turned her eyes slightly, but since the receptionist didn't come, she could take the opportunity to show off her princess character.
"you!"
As a result, before Qingyin could say anything, the honest foreign general who had been behaving well along the way stood up.
Looking at the tightly wrapped princess, Tuoba Xun knew that the goddess who made his heart beat was inside. He bowed respectfully and half-saluted, "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I will notify the warriors of the grassland first, and then invite the princess in."
"The whole of Mongolia, they didn't even entertain the princess properly when she arrived, they are truly barbarians." Chen Wangsheng said sarcastically.
Looking at Chen Wangsheng who had finished speaking for her, Qingyin swallowed down her words with tiredness.
He no longer had the desire to trouble anyone and just waved his hand casually.
Looking at the princess's reaction, Tuoba Xun lowered his head in disappointment. He thought that it was Cao Yuan's indifference that made the princess unhappy, but he, as the general, had to inform her of her arrival. In the end, Tuoba Xun could only leave reluctantly in the smug look of Chen Wangsheng.
Apart from Tuoba Xun who had left, Qingyin was not in a hurry to get on the carriage.
She was used to living in the Qing Dynasty and rarely saw the vast grassland. Breathing the fresh air of the grassland, Qingyin suddenly felt that the mental fatigue from being stuck in the carriage for so many days was reduced a lot.
Chen Wangsheng, who was standing by, thought that the princess was angry because of the poor performance of the people on the grassland.
He walked forward in a panic, trying to comfort the princess: "Princess, the people on this grassland are all mentally ill. Princess, don't worry about them."
"Why should I care about those things?" Qingyin looked at the panicked Chen Wangsheng in confusion.
Chen Wangsheng was being stared at by the princess. Although the princess's appearance was blocked by the veil, the image of the princess's clear and misty almond-shaped eyes staring at him puzzledly appeared in his mind.
Chen Wangsheng, whose face turned redder as he was stared at, lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "The princess is right."
Yuqin on the side glanced at the blushing Chen Wangsheng with a little regret. After so many days, even a fool could have seen that General Chen Wangsheng liked the princess. It was a pity that the princess had already married to the grassland, otherwise, based on the attitude of General Chen Wangsheng, the princess would have been a good match to marry him.
Qingyin didn't notice the two people's little movements. What she noticed was that a red-cheeked little girl in the distance was holding a lamb and looking at her curiously. Her big black eyes were full of innocence without any fear. Although her clothes had some patches on them, they were not dirty at all.
Qingyin could see that the little girl's family background was probably just average, but her personality was so lively, which meant that the new leader managed her well, allowing the people under his command to live with confidence.
Looking at the cute little girl, Qingyin curved her crescent-shaped eyes and waved at the little girl.
The little girl seemed shy, and she didn't expect that the strange man who was secretly watching her would respond to her gaze.
Hiding shyly in a corner of the tent.
Chen Wangsheng noticed the princess's actions and discovered the little foreign girl hiding in the corner, and his lips curled slightly.
Although the princess looks like a fierce kitten, her heart is as kind as a gem. She shines and attracts everyone's attention.
A princess who is beautiful both in appearance and in heart would probably make the Khan fall in love with her once he sees her. He would surely treat her well.
Thinking that he would have to leave the princess soon, Chen Wangsheng's raised lips suddenly retracted silently, adding a touch of sadness.
