Yun Chuan followed Weedon Khan and his party back to Tusang's residence. Weedon Khan and Helian asked, "Helian, what do you think of tonight's events?"
Helian Qiji was the younger brother of Weedon Khan. The two had similar looks and were only five years apart in age. However, they looked cold and taciturn. Twenty-five years ago, the Tusang army failed to attack the Wei Dynasty. Helian Qiji, who was only 18 years old, was forced to be sent to Wei as a hostage for twenty years. Five years ago, Weedon Khan rescued Helian Qiji and reused him to take charge of Tusang's most elite cavalry army.
"It's strange that they are not in a hurry to find the century-old snow lotus. They are just bluffing." Helian Qiji replied in a low voice, "There is no way to recover if the snow lotus is destroyed. We waited for half an hour to delay time."
"Well, maybe there is no such thing as a hundred-year-old snow lotus being lost. Besides, how would we know whether the one here is a real or fake hundred-year-old snow lotus." King Yelu said with a wisp of beard, "The food-delivery guards are just looking for trouble. "
"This is extremely possible." Weedon nodded and said, "I just told Huo Ming to just follow Huang Bei's people and show off."
"Ah, is it possible that what they brought today is a fake century-old snow lotus?" Yunchuan secretly felt that something was wrong. If the real century-old snow lotus was not here, then the three-petal snow lotus they had tried so hard to steal was not there either. Useless.
"Haha, so they are not particularly annoyed, nor are they particularly anxious." King Yelu looked around, with a hint of sneer on his face, and said, "I heard that Shangdu Khan fell ill in the early spring of last year. You see, he looks rosy now. , full of energy.”
"Uncle, there is something in your words." Yunchuan opened her eyes wide in surprise. This never occurred to her. She must know that the century-old snow lotus has been a sacred object of Huangbei and has been passed down for four generations without any loss. , "It's not that he didn't lose a single snow lotus petal even though his life was hanging by a thread on the battlefield. Moreover, I heard that Queen Huang Bei's life was in danger five years ago. Nata knelt for three days and three nights, but she didn't even ask for a snow lotus petal. Shandu Khan probably won’t.”
"We don't know this! After all, this is Huang Bei's housework. Whether there are more or less snow lotuses in these century-olds, what does it have to do with us? But if Huang Bei wants to blame us for this matter, then You underestimate us." King Yelu smiled, looked at Yunchuan and said, "Yunchuan is still smart, and he disrupted their plans with just one word."
"King Yelu, you can no longer indulge her. If she hadn't been so smart just now, we would have known Huang Bei's true purpose of acting in this play." After saying this, Khan Weedon knocked lightly with his hand. Yunchuan's forehead.
Yun Chuan suddenly realized that everyone was waiting to watch the show, but he was the only one who didn't know about it. He played the cards without following the rules, disrupting everyone's rhythm, disturbing everyone's interest, and making a good show hasty. end. Yun Chuan reluctantly pouted and said, "Well, then you didn't even wink at me, which made me worry on the sidelines."
"You, you are still too impatient. Although Bai Ren is younger than you, he can keep his composure. The century-old snow lotus is important, but we don't need so many leaders to wait for it. There is also Hada Khan of Xia Yi, who has an aloof character. We have always been at odds with Shangdu, so why doesn't he leave?" Witton said he was responsible, but his eyes were full of doting and helplessness.
Yun Chuan sighed, thought about it carefully, and muttered in a low voice: "How can this little sheep of mine be the opponent of the wolf?"
"Haha, if you were a little sheep, then all the wolves on this grassland would starve to death. It's not easy for you to tell that it's Huangbei's civil strife." King Yelu looked at Yunchuan lovingly and smiled.
Yun Chuan smiled bitterly, took King Yelu's arm and said coquettishly: "Uncle, where does the envoy of the Wei Dynasty live?"
Before King Yelu could speak, Weedon stopped him and said, "Hurry up and pay your respects to your queen mother and aunt!"
"I know." Yun Chuan pouted and nodded helplessly.
————————————————————————
"Mother, hello, aunt!" Before the maid had time to announce, Yunchuan opened the curtain and walked into Princess Yelu's yurt, shouting with joy. Seeing Yunchuan suddenly appearing in front of them, Queen Qiqige of Tusang and Princess Yelu Qimuge were obviously a little surprised. Queen Qiqige's eyes were still full of tears and she was busy stuffing a white object in her hand into her waist. Turn your back and wipe the corners of your eyes. Princess Yelu was stunned for a moment, stood up quickly, pulled Yunchuan in front of her, looked at her lovingly, and said happily: "My dear, I haven't even invited you here in eight sedans, why are you so late at night?" Came running over?"
Princess Yelu and Queen Tusang are biological sisters. They are more than ten years apart. Both of them are famous beauties on the grassland, especially Queen Saihan of Tusang. With her unique style, beautiful appearance, and charming appearance, she is known as "the most beautiful woman in the grassland". " known as. Although he is nearly middle-aged, he seems to have been favored by God. Not only does his face show no traces of time, but his temperament has become more and more outstanding. The melancholy look that sometimes appears between his eyebrows makes his every frown and smile look otherworldly and refined. So cute.
"I miss you!" Yunchuan squatted next to Queen Qiqige and asked with concern, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Queen Qiqige wiped the corners of her eyes and waved her hands, her voice slightly choked. She said, "I'm fine, I'm fine." Seeing this, Princess Yelu helped Yunchuan up, pulled her to sit beside her, held Yunchuan's hands, and said lovingly: "Your mother, even though she has three children, After my mother got married, I was still like a child and loved to shed tears. No, just now we two sisters remembered our childhood kisses with our parents, and your mother couldn't stop her tears from falling."
"Who did I say Wanli would follow? Sister Wanli is the same, she is also kind and sentimental. Last time I went hunting, I managed to catch a few rabbits and a deer. Wanli cried and refused to let everyone eat them, so she adopted them all. Get up, I haven't eaten rabbit meat or venison in the past six months." Yun Chuan stretched his head and looked at Queen Qiqige, and said with a smile: "I still like the way the queen smiles. As long as the queen smiles, she will The thousands of years of snow on Snow Dragon Mountain will be melted."
"We, Yunchuan, are still good at talking. Your mother is so praised that her face turns red!" Princess Yelu said with a bright smile.
"Sister, you are still teasing me with the children!" Queen Qiqige's cheeks were as red as a blooming peony flower.
"Mother, these words were said by the father first." Yunchuan stood up, walked to the queen, clasped his fingers and said: "Father said it, the queen smiles like the sun in the sky. She doesn't smile. When she is, she is like the moon in Tianchi Bay, when she is sitting, she is like a white snow lotus, and when she is standing, she is like kapok in the wind. Anyway, no matter what time, the queen mother is the most beautiful, and she is always so beautiful that people never tire of it, and her heart beats endlessly. .”
"Yo yo yo, sister, what else do you have to worry about when Khan holds her in his hand like this?" Princess Yelu joked at the side.
"What's wrong with what Yunchuan said?" Queen Qiqige glared at Yunchuan, pursed her lips and smiled.
"I think what Yunchuan said is true. Although my brother-in-law is the leader of Tusang and is powerful in all directions, in front of you, he completely obeys your words and has no airs at all. Yunchuan, am I right?" Princess Yelu said .
"Hey, I understand this best. In this world, only my mother and queen can make my father lower his eyebrows and bend down. So I say, the most powerful person on this grassland is not my father, but my mother and queen! Aunt , you said that if I inherited even one tenth of my mother's beauty, I would definitely be invincible, right?" Yun Chuan smiled, making Princess Yelu laugh, and Queen Qiqige couldn't help but laugh and shook her head. She shook her head and looked at her crooked daughter.
"How much more beautiful do you want? The grassland at the entrance of your family will be trampled by people proposing marriage. Even I receive a lot of posts proposing marriage to you every day." Princess Yelu scratched her head Kumokawa's nose said.
"Those people, they don't even know what I look like. They are just interested in my father's power. They don't really want to propose marriage." Yunchuan said disdainfully.
"Then what kind do you like?" Princess Yelu asked, stuffing a piece of pastry into Yunchuan's mouth.
Yun Chuan ate the pastries, tilted his head, and said thoughtfully: "Then you must be brave, resourceful, and upright. You must also be the same as my father treats my mother, relying on me in everything and pampering me."
"Is it okay to rely on you and pamper you? If I don't know what you think, and I don't ask you what you think, it's hard for anyone to resist the temper of a young lady like you." Queen Qiqige stroked the scattered leaves in Yunchuan Hair, said gently.
"Mother, you have made it more difficult!" Yun Chuan deliberately pretended to be helpless.
"I don't think it's hard! The eldest grandson prince of Xi Yu is very suitable for this condition. He is handsome and talented. He was appointed as the successor of Xi Yu Khan early. He also has a good relationship with our Tusang. The most important thing is that he is a good match for you. , knowing the root and bottom, I will definitely know what you want." Princess Yelu said.
"He is probably a talented person, but he has too deep thoughts and is just hypocritical and pretentious towards me. I don't want to marry him!" Yunchuan immediately objected.
"Ahem~ How can you be a girl? You are never ashamed to talk about these things." Queen Qiqige deliberately interrupted, "You haven't said why you came here? Aren't you unwilling to come? Where is Wanli? "
"I don't want to talk about these things. Didn't you all mention them?" Yunchuan smiled sweetly, feeling embarrassed, and muttered back, "I met an envoy from the Wei Dynasty who got lost, so I Brought him here. Wanli is busy taking care of her zoo of 'old, young, sick and disabled', and is busy at home."
"What does it have to do with you if the envoy of the Wei Dynasty is lost? You are always nosy, so don't cause any trouble to your uncle King Yelu." Queen Qiqige asked.
"Well, I understand. By the way, I would have forgotten if the queen didn't mention the trouble. Huang Bei is in trouble this time." Yun Chuan sat next to the queen, leaned against her shoulder and said, "Huang Bei's Shang Duke Khan put their century-old snow lotus in General Wei Xu’s yurt, but for some unknown reason the yurt in front of General Wei Xu caught fire. After the fire was put out, the century-old snow lotus disappeared.”
Princess Yelu put down the water glass in her hand and said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? The biggest use of this hundred-year-old snow lotus is to detoxify strange poisons and prolong life, and its usage is strange. Very few people know about it. The key is You can't live for more than a few days without that box. Who would be so stupid as to steal this?"
"Why is that box so magical? If we make more boxes, wouldn't there be more century-old snow lotuses?" Queen Qiqige asked in surprise.
Princess Yelu shook her head and said: "This box is very strange to make. I heard that it takes a thousand years of golden nanmu to be made. It has three layers inside and outside. Between each layer, there must be a thousand years of snow mountain ice water, as well as any rare medicinal materials. This secret recipe has long been It’s been lost. Besides, it’s not a medicine for immortality, so why bother with it?”
"Aunt, I just heard what my father and uncle said. They may not have brought the real century-old snow lotus here, and they are deliberately trying to stir up trouble." Yunchuan frowned. Is it possible that he will go to Huangbei tomorrow to find the real snow lotus? Centennial snow lotus?
"It is reasonable for them to think so. This is the first time that the four major clans have gathered together in more than 20 years. They also want to take the opportunity of viewing the strange stones to put aside their past grudges and seek common development. The display of the treasures of the four major clans was also proposed by Huang Bei. He said that he hoped that everyone would pay attention to each other during the ceremony. In this way, it is not ruled out that Huang Bei wants to dig a hole." Princess Yelu nodded and analyzed.
"But if the box is real, how can the century-old snow lotus be stored without bringing it?" Yun Chuan was obviously a little anxious, standing up and squirming around in worry.
Queen Qiqige's eyes were as bright as the full moon. She looked at Yunchuan who was jumping anxiously, and said in confusion: "Whether the snow lotus is real or fake, what does it have to do with you? Why are you so worried?"
"I-amn't I afraid that they will put the blame on us? Last time, Shengze was really hurt by Mingcheng. We can't suffer the loss of being dumb again this time. I'll go find my uncle and ask him!" Yunchuan turned around and planned to go out. Thinking of Yu Wenhan, who only had seven days to go, he felt guilty and anxious.
Princess Yelu grabbed Yunchuan, dragged her back to her, stroked her hand, and said kindly: "Why are you so impatient? Our Tusang has not reached the point where we women have to worry about it. Your father and the king Uncle King Yelu must be able to find a way. You haven't come to see your aunt for a long time, why don't you miss me at all?"
"Aunt, of course I miss you! Just ask my mother, I talk about you every day!" Yun Chuan stood up, looked at Princess Yelu with embarrassment, took her hands and swung them from side to side, and said with a delicate look in his eyes, "Although we Tusang women are the most blessed and don't have to worry about anything, you know my temperament and like to join in the fun. If I don't figure it out, I won't even be able to sleep! Aunt, please let me ask Well!"
After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he took out his hands and suddenly gave Princess Yelu a bear hug. He then kissed her loudly on the face, and then prepared to do the same to his mother. Queen Qiqige immediately stretched out her hands. He stopped him and said, "No need to worry, I won't accept your trick, you don't look serious."
Yun Chuan made a face, turned around and ran away with a smile. Behind him came the laughter of Princess Yelu and the sigh of Queen Qiqige.
Yunchuan walked out of the yurt and found a quiet place to ponder his thoughts: Who stole the century-old snow lotus? Wei Xu was right at the door of the yurt, how could he not notice it at all? Princess Nata was the least anxious and kept confronting Mingcheng who seemed anxious. Did Huang Bei really just want Snow Lotus to disappear, and the rest was just a bluff?
So, here comes the most critical question: Is the century-old snow lotus missing tonight real or fake? If it's fake, is it really there?
