The first ray of morning light sprinkled on the grassland in the morning, the herdsmen sang ancient songs, the bells on the necks of cattle and sheep jingled, and the children were playing in the tents. Wake up with so many voices.
Qiuhua heard the movement and brought the palace maid to wait inside, "Did the princess sleep well last night?"
Jiang Rui nodded. Seeing that all of them were blue and black, she asked, "How are you? Is the place where you stay clean?"
"Very good." Qiu Hua smiled, then lowered his head to cover his reddish eyes. Bei Di was not rude, but they were new arrivals and slept in an unfamiliar tent. The two younger palace maids couldn't help but cry from homesickness, which made the whole tent feel sad and didn't fall asleep until midnight. Such thoughts cannot be expressed in front of the princess, lest she also hurt God.
Just after finishing packing, someone brought breakfast. It was the Beidi girl who led the way yesterday. Jiang Rui asked her name, Aruna.
Different from yesterday's grand dress, she changed into a peach pink uniform today. Although it looks much simpler, the fresh colors and exquisite materials still make Aruna look full of admiration.
She put down her breakfast, but was reluctant to go out immediately, stepped back a few steps and stood aside, watching Qiuhua and the others circling around Jiang Rui intently.
Jiang Rui noticed, motioned Qiuhua to take out a small box from the cabinet, and then waved to her.
Aruna glared, then tried to probe over like a small animal.
Jiang Rui found that her eyes looked familiar, a bit like the little boy yesterday, and looking at the facial features of the two, they were also somewhat similar, they should be siblings. She asked Qiuhua to hand over the small box.
"What, what is this?" Aruna looked at the small box curiously, and wanted to reach out to pick it up, but after reaching halfway, she turned her back and looked at Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui said, "It's a gift for you."
Aruna's eyes lit up, she immediately took it, and opened it in front of her. There are two palace flowers made of Juana, two embroidered brocades, a beautiful purse, and a tie. They are not expensive, but they happen to be liked by girls, and in the grasslands, these things are much more precious than in Dazhao.
Aruna's whole face brightened, she changed her previous shyness and rushed in front of Jiang Rui enthusiastically, "Do you really give it to me? Thank you, Mrs. Ye!"
Qiuhua and the others were startled, subconsciously trying to pull them away, but Jiang Rui winked before stepping aside.
Aruna said excitedly, "The Yu family is so good, no wonder Abu said that the Khan likes the Yu family very much!"
Abu refers to his father in the Beidi language, and Jiang Rui said, "Who is your Abu?"
"Abu's name is Aguda, and he is the third-ranked warrior in the clan!" Aruna simply crossed her legs and sat on the carpet beside Jiang Rui's legs, "Khan is the first warrior, Ogler is the second, and I, Abudi Three, but I heard Abu say that Ogler's second was given to him by others, and only Khan's first was the real first!"
Jiang Rui remembered that the envoy said when he came that the former Khan king had several sons, not to mention the younger one, the older one was called Ogle. If nothing else, he should inherit the throne.
However, the current fact is that the former king of Khan died suddenly, and Ur Khan became the new king, and there must be many secrets in it.
Aruna still said excitedly: "When the Great Khan was sixteen years old, he was the first warrior, the youngest warrior in the clan!"
Jiang Rui suddenly remembered something: "How old is King Han now?"
"Hmm..." Aruna frowned, and fingered her fingers for a while, not sure: "It should be twenty-four."
Jiang Rui nodded expressionlessly. It turned out to be only twenty-four. Seeing his unshaven face, she thought he was forty-two.
After a while, Aruna was called by a female voice, which sounded like her mother. From a distance, Jiang Rui could still hear her happily telling her mother that she had received a gift.
Today's breakfast is much more refined than yesterday's dinner. It's not that yesterday's was bad. It's just that raw goat milk and blood-stained meat are not in line with the taste of the Jokhao people. These are obviously different. Milk, lamb meat with a layer of honey on the surface, and pie with the aroma of grains. You must know that the tea on the grassland is also bought from Zhongzhou, and the price is ridiculous. Sometimes even a tael of tea costs a tael of gold , and honey and grains are also uncommon.
Even though the food in front of them still looked rough compared to the meal of the previous princess, none of the people who accompanied them said anything. After one night, they had clearly realized the difference between Beidi and Zhongzhou.
After breakfast, Jiang Rui went outside the tent to breathe. Many people put down their work and looked at her. When she turned their eyes, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be busy. Compared with the high-ranking Jokhang Palace, the people here seem to have no idea what the rules are.
Just like Ogler was supposed to inherit the throne and became Ur Khan, but Jiang Rui did not see anyone dissatisfied with him. If she gave the reason, she thought, it should be what Aruna said earlier, Ur Khan He was the number one warrior of Beidi, so they accepted him, it was so simple and straightforward.
She was about to go for a walk by the Moon Lake that she saw yesterday, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and when she looked up, she saw Ur Khan running towards her on a horse.
It seems that he left the royal court early in the morning, and his hair still has traces of being wet by the morning mist.
The horse was getting closer and closer, but there was still no tendency to stop. Qiuhua and others exclaimed to pull the princess back, but they only noticed a gust of wind passing by, and the princess disappeared in front of them.
That rude King Beidi has brought the princess on his horse again! The Jokhang Palace was so popular that it stomped its feet.
With their completely different reactions, when the Di people saw this scene, they all cheered, and some even whistled.
Ur Khan laughed recklessly, and his chest against Jiang Rui's back couldn't stop stirring. He looked at her with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "How did you sleep last night, my Mrs. Ye?"
