The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 38 Picking Flowers

Alyssa, who had witnessed the princess becoming more beautiful day by day, was in a trance. Has the princess grown up again? The princess was only 17 years old when she married Lord Eliwal, and she is still growing up.

But the princess is so beautiful now! Alisha dares to guarantee that even Princess Hanxiang, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the Hui nationality, cannot compare to Princess Guli! Thinking of the princess's smooth and delicate white skin like milk, and her increasingly curvy figure, Alisha's face silently blushed.

"Alyssa? Alyssa?"

"Ah, princess." Alyssa, who was thinking about the princess, saw the protagonist she was thinking about the next second. Her tanned face was now completely red.

Qingyin looked at the maid who suddenly blushed again in confusion. Without asking the reason, she said sadly, "Alyssa, let's go pick some flowers to commemorate him."

Alyssa suddenly returned to reality and looked at the melancholy princess with worry. She was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort the princess. She could only follow behind the princess and accompany her to pick flowers.

After leaving the earthen tent, Qingyin took a deep breath of fresh air. She had stayed for a few more days to keep vigil for her original husband. She didn't want her character to collapse, so she maintained a depressed image for a few days. Now that she came out, she was really curious about the life of the ancient Hui people.

Anyway, judging from the accommodation conditions, they are not very good. The tents of the Hui people are now made of sheep wool. It is not difficult to see that the living conditions of the Hui people are not very good. Qingyin also wants to see the specific situation and improve the living conditions of the Hui people.

Qingyin brought Alisa to see the people in the tribe. The life of the Hui people is complicated, and people live in different places. In particular, herders need to constantly change their residences to ensure that their cattle and sheep have enough food. Guli Hezhuo married Ailiwal and moved far away from her father, but it was still within the territory. Qingyin estimated that her original father would have to send a message to let her go back in the next few days.

It was the beginning of summer and it was still raining. Qingyin breathed in the scent of rain in the air as she walked on the muddy path. She saw women in headscarves or shy little girls greeting each other on the road. She waved gently and walked towards a hillside where flowers had just grown in the past few days. The road was a little far, but it was still within the tribe's territory.

Qingyin didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she wore the veil from the Qing Dynasty and observed the flowers that could be picked from time to time. In order to find some Impatiens to paint the princess's nails, Alyssa walked a little further away with great interest.

After a while, Qingyin saw a blooming Guli flower. She was about to pick it, but the next second it was picked by a little girl with pigtails and wearing a red gauze skirt.

"You are from the Hui ethnic group, right? I wonder if this land is now considered Mongolian?"

Qingyin frowned slightly. Before she could reply, Alyssa, who heard the noise, ran over. She said angrily, "Who are you? This is not Mongolian. This flower is obviously growing on the border. How can it be considered your flower!"

"Hmph, you lowly people dare to snatch my flowers. When my brother comes, you will be in trouble." The little girl in the red gauze skirt looked at the two men arrogantly.

Qingyin stopped Alyssa who was still trying to argue, and said softly: "Since you picked the flower first, it's yours. Sorry for disturbing us."

The girl in the red gauze skirt, that is, Melina, heard the woman who had been covering her face speak. Her voice was quite pleasant, unlike the servant beside her who was so talkative. She said proudly: "That's more like it!"

Qingyin took Alyssa away.

Not long after, a group of young men on horseback arrived here. The leader was a man in a dark blue robe. He happened to see Qingyin and the other person walking away. Looking at Qingyin, whose dress fluttered in the breeze, he inexplicably felt that this would be his regret. He had an urge to catch up with her. Just as he was about to take action, he was interrupted by his younger sister's voice, "Brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The man was Melina's elder brother Meng Tian Xiaode. They were born in the Xiaode nobles of Mongolia. They were the right-hand men of the Mongolian Khan and were extremely noble. He frowned and stared at his willful little sister sternly, suppressing his previous feelings. "If you hadn't sneaked out of the team, we wouldn't have come to find you. Now you have run to the border. What if something unexpected happens!"

"Oh, what kind of accident could happen? I'm just out for fun."

Meng Tian looked at his little sister who didn't take it seriously and glared at her angrily for a few times. In the end, he took her back to the clan land under her coquettishness. Before leaving, he looked back in the direction where Qingyin disappeared, with determination in his eyes.

On the other side, Alyssa said indignantly: "Why should the princess give the flowers to her!"

"The fabric that the girl is wearing is not simple. She must be a Mongolian noble. We didn't bring any guards with us this time. It's better to have less trouble than more. It's just a flower."

Now Alyssa, who was still frightened, was afraid, “Princess, I am so stupid, but this flower is really cheap.”

"It's okay. I feel relieved to have you around, Alyssa." Qingyin comforted Alyssa who was about to cry.

When they walked back to the tribe, the guard standing guard at the door shouted enthusiastically: "Princess, you are back!"

"Hmm." Qingyin smiled with her eyebrows curved and walked between the guards, leaving a gust of fragrant wind.

Until Qingyin walked away, the younger guard on duty kept looking in the direction of Qingyin. Thinking of Princess Guli's fair skin and crescent-shaped eyes, he didn't know how to describe it, but it felt more beautiful than the stars in the sky! Thinking of this, the young guard's face flushed. The older guard beside him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just take a look. A princess like this is not something people like us can dream of."

The eyes of the young guard who received the reminder gradually dimmed. He knew that even if the princess was married, he could not get her. But when the bright moon rose, how could he not have hope?

Back in the tent, Qingyin spent another day mourning for her deceased husband before washing and going to bed, and the whole night lasted until dawn.

When Qingyin woke up, she had just put on her clothes. Alyssa walked in quickly and said to the princess happily, "Princess, it's a letter from the Khan." Seeing the calm princess, Alyssa also calmed down. She looked at Qingyin with starry eyes. The princess was really getting better and better.

Qingyin slowly opened the envelope. Inside were words from her original father expressing his longing for her, her mother's worries, and her regret and sadness over Aliwal's death in battle. The whole letter expressed the hope that she could return home.

Qingyin wrote a letter as usual, expressing her longing and agreement to go home, and asked Alyssa to take the letter back first.

Not only Ali Khoja and Kuriya (Princess Guli's mother) who were far away in Rukqin were concerned about her, but Meng Tian who was in Mongolia was also thinking about her. He not only sent people to secretly find out her identity, but also painted her figure when she left every day.
