The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 39 Returning Home

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day when Guli (also known as Qingyin) returns to Rukqin.

The convoy was ready, and the young guard Qiao Li who had been on guard earlier happened to be traveling with them. Qiao Li had been concerned about the escort team since the day he heard that Princess Guli was taken back by the Khan. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, he volunteered to sign up to the leading commander Akshang. He ignored the gossip of others, as he just wanted to give Princess Guli a final farewell, whom he might never see again.

In the early morning, the summer sun was scorching. Qingyin started early but still couldn't withstand the power of the "summer tiger". She was sweating profusely from the heat. Even with Alyssa fanning her from the side, it was just better than nothing.

Halfway through the journey, Qingyin could hear the heavy breathing of the soldiers in the carriage. Qingyin planned to ask Alyssa to call the commander Akshang to come and rest halfway before continuing the march.

"Alyssa, go to the front and ask General Akshang to come over."

"Okay, princess."

Alisa got off the carriage and asked about the general's location. She couldn't catch up with the soldiers on horseback, so Aksun, who had known the news before she arrived, frowned. He was famous at a young age and was a famous general in the tribe. The purpose of escorting the princess this time was to avoid his mother's blind date, so he took the initiative to ask the Khan to escort the plain-looking Princess Guli. Listening to the report from his men, he was secretly upset. Sure enough, he hated dealing with these girls the most!

When Alyssa arrived, she happened to meet General Akshang, who had a dark and gloomy face. The words she wanted to say were blocked by his gloom. Fortunately, Akshang told her what he knew in advance, otherwise Alyssa would really be a little scared of this famous general.

There was silence all the way, which was only broken when they arrived at Qingyin's carriage.

Alyssa walked quickly and finally caught up with Akshang.

"Princess, General Akshang has arrived."

"OK, all right."

The moment Princess Guli opened her mouth to speak, Akshang was stunned. The charming voice that seemed to linger in his ears made his heart begin to tremble for an unknown reason.

He could no longer utter the cold and ruthless words he had originally intended. He softened his voice unconsciously and asked, "May I ask what the princess wants from me?"

Unfortunately, the general who was used to being on the battlefield didn't know that even if his voice was pretended to be soft, it was still as loud as thunder. Qingyin, who was sitting in the carriage, was startled by his loud voice. This General Akshang had a really loud voice!

She calmed down and explained softly, "General, the journey back to the palace is long. Why don't you let the troops rest on the way before marching?"

Listening to the princess's charming voice like the sound of nature, Akshang was already confused and didn't hear clearly what the princess said at all.

Until Qingyin reminded him several times, "General Akshang? General Akshang?"

"Ah! Princess, I was distracted just now because I was thinking about my father's illness at home. Please punish me!" Akshang half-knelt down after regaining consciousness. His face turned red. Fortunately, his face was so red that it could not be seen at all, so Alyssa did not discover the reason.

However, Kexin Ningde (Aksheng's father), who was far away in Rukqin, had no idea that this unfilial son had made him seriously ill, otherwise he would have definitely given this "filial" son a good beating.

"It's okay, the general is also a filial person, there is no need to apologize." Qingyin told Akshang the reason again, and this time Akshang heard it clearly. He agreed immediately and ordered the whole team to stop and rest.

Aksang, who had no reason to stay by the princess' side, returned to his carriage tent. He suddenly envied Alyssa who had always stayed by the princess' side. He also wanted to... always stay by the princess' side. Thinking of this, a sense of restlessness rose on his face again. Suddenly thinking of the guard Qiao Li who had volunteered, he instinctively felt hostile.

He secretly let Jory guard the front of the team, far away from the princess's carriage.

After a rest, the team set off again. Alyssa clearly felt that Akshang came to the back more and more often. From time to time, he would hunt some prey or fruits and would ask the princess if she needed any. Alyssa stared at Akshang's every move with suspicion and deeply doubted his intentions.

Akshang, who was being watched by Alyssa, didn't even look at any of the maids. He kept paying attention to the window beside the carriage with great energy, for fear of missing the princess' words.

Qingyin was not unaware, but she responded less often than usual. Even so, Akeshang was happy like a silly bear, enjoying himself.

"Yinyin, you are still as charming as ever. Another silly guy is obsessed with your skirt!"

The system's voice sounded, causing Qingyin's hands to tremble slightly as she was cutting tea. She smiled threateningly at the system, "System, if all you say is bullshit, don't say it out loud to disgust others!"

"Hey, host, Yinyin, Yinyin..."

The halo of light created by the lackey system would occasionally press gently on Qingyin's shoulders. Qingyin raised an eyebrow and ignored this nervous system. (The system cannot be seen by ordinary people)

“Yinyin, didn’t I give you that lucky halo before? Ding ding ding! I’ll put it on you right now.”

Qingyin didn't feel anything after putting on the halo. She was going to ask the system about the function of this thing, "Tongzi, Tongzi?"

"Damn, the dog system ran away again?"

Qing Yin, who was familiar with the host, narrowed his eyes slightly. If the system familiar with the host saw it, it would know that this was the host's attempt to "trick people"/"trick the system"! Unfortunately, he was about to be discovered for slacking off at work. He ran away quickly after Yao Yao reminded him, and he didn't know that Qing Yin was calculating against him again.

It was dusk when we arrived at Rukqin.

Seeing the city gate from afar, Akshang inexplicably hoped that the road could be farther away, but unfortunately, no matter how far he walked, he would only get closer. Alyssa, who also discovered General Akshang's feelings on the road, was extremely happy. Finally, no one would compete with her for the princess, hahahaha!

Arriving at the city gate, Qingyin got off the carriage and saw a familiar figure standing on the city wall from afar. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red. That was the unconscious physical reaction of the original body missing her parents and relatives.

But it's no wonder that the original body missed her relatives so much. In this era, people usually stayed in the place where they got married. Even though Guli Hezhuo became a widow, she was still forcibly taken back home by her parents. If it weren't for the disaster of Hanxiang, she could have lived happily forever.

Qingyin also did not miss the fact that there was one person missing in the crowd, that was the legendary Princess Hanxiang, who had a unique fragrance and was extremely beautiful - the original body's sister.

After entering the city, the original body's mother, Kuliya, came over first and said, "My poor daughter!" She observed Qingyin's body and said, "You've lost weight, lost weight!"

"Mother, Father, Brother! I'm not thin, I'm fine."

"Well," the usually taciturn Khan and the eldest prince stared at Qingyin silently, their eyes full of concern and heartache. However, they also noticed the changes in this eldest daughter/second sister. She looked like a peerless beauty even though she was still wearing a veil.

"Where is my sister?" Qingyin asked curiously. Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Kuliya looked embarrassed, "Hey, let's go back to the palace first."
