After finally dressing up, the maid held up the bronze mirror. Yunchuan looked at himself in the mirror and was a little shocked.
"Oh my god~ There's no need to be so exaggerated." Yun Chuan marveled at the skill of his mother and several maids. Is the woman in the mirror his own? A pair of raised sword-shaped eyebrows are illuminated by a glow; her eyes are like the full moon, shining brightly; her peach cheeks are pretty and charming, filling the garden with spring light. Wearing a red dress, the hem of the skirt is embroidered with peacock flowers, which is gorgeous and elegant; the brim of the red hat is inlaid with white velvet, and the braids on both sides are dotted with pearls, which complement the long pearl chain on the slender neck. pressing. The maids around her kept praising her, "Our princess from Tusang is simply like a goddess."
Surrounded by the maids, Yun Chuan turned around several times. Flowers bloomed on her wide skirt, and Yun Chuan danced like a delicate peacock. Qi Ge and Princess Yelu were particularly proud to see it. Yun Chuan felt a little uneasy. He was not the protagonist of such a high-profile event tonight, so why did he need to grab the jackpot?
"Is this makeup too heavy? I don't like heavy makeup." Yun Chuan looked at himself in the mirror and said with a frown.
"Not thick, not thick, not thick at all. In our opinion, Princess Yunchuan could use a little more rouge on her cheeks and a darker lip color, so that it would be more suitable for this dress." The maids came over and waved their hands. said.
"Really? Let me take a look. It seems that I need to add a little more. The lip color is a bit light." Princess Yelu turned Yunchuan to herself and looked up and down.
"No, no, don't touch it up anymore. If I touch up my makeup, I can become a mural." Yunchuan immediately raised his hands in protest, not allowing the maid holding the rouge to get closer to him.
Qiqige looked at his daughter and smiled slightly, and said softly: "This is good, she finally looks like a princess, solemn yet still has the beauty of a girl. Before, she was just a tomboy with pigtails."
"I have a straightforward personality, but why do I look like a brat in the eyes of my mother?" Yunchuan said a little aggrievedly.
"We, Yunchuan, are naturally beautiful. We can stun everyone with just a little makeup! Right?" Princess Yelu smiled even more when she saw Yunchuan's shy look. "It's getting late. We also need to dress up and get ready." Went to the Yunshi Conference.”
"But, do I really want to be dressed like this? I don't really want to attract attention." Yunchuan muttered in embarrassment as his mother looked at him so tenderly.
"This kind of occasion is to show the power of our clan, and you are the only princess attending this time. Do you want the people in the Central Plains to think that our desert is still as poor and miserable as the legends say?" Qiqi Ge His eyes dimmed again, and he felt helpless as if iron could not become steel.
Yun Chuan was shocked. When did his mother care about the image and dignity of the desert? Is this still my "fairy mother" who doesn't eat fireworks from the world?
—————————————————————————————————————
The sisters Qiqige and Princess Yelu are already famous beauties in the desert, especially Qiqige. With a little dressing up, she looks like she is out of this world. She has an aura that is compelling. Coupled with the pretty face of Yunchuan, the three of them walked along the way. It was even more brilliant, and the surrounding pedestrians couldn't help but look sideways.
Yun Chuan followed his mother and Princess Yelu to the south gate. His father, King Yelu, Helian Qiji, Huo Ming, Bai Ren and other people from Tusang were already waiting at the south gate. When Weedon Khan saw Qiqige, who was wearing a sky blue dress and satin, as clear as a blooming snow lotus, he suddenly smiled and walked straight towards Qiqige, leaned over and whispered in her ear: " Are you tired?"
"Ahem!" Yunchuan shook his head and protested, "As long as my father sees my mother, I will not be in his eyes at all!"
Qiqige blushed unnaturally, hid behind Weedon Khan's arm, lowered his head and smiled.
"Why do you dare to make fun of your mother? You are so young!" Princess Yelu teased, tapping Yunchuan's forehead with her index finger.
Yun Chuan pouted with a smile, approached Weedon Khan and said, "Father, do you think I am telling the truth?"
Weedon Khan burst out laughing, pinched Yunchuan's face with adoration in his eyes, and replied: "You are the prettiest!"
After Weedon Khan finished speaking, everyone behind him burst into laughter. "Our Yunchuan, as long as he stands properly and dresses up a little, it's no exaggeration to say that he will be the king of the country." Huo Ming also joked.
"What if you stand irregularly?" Bai Ren came over and asked curiously.
"Bai Ren, are you a bad learner?!" Yunchuan raised his head and glared at Huo Ming, pretending to be angry! As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter.
While they were talking and laughing, all the princes and generals from Xia Yi and Xi Yu also arrived. After bowing one after another, everyone headed towards the Yunshi Conference Hall in Mount Yuocui.
"Princess Yunchuan, you are so awesome tonight -" Changsun Ying was really shocked when he saw Yunchuan dressed up in his best clothes. He quickly came up to him and flattered her with a smile.
"Oh, Bai Ren, come here and see if my hat is crooked!" Yun Chuan shouted at Bai Ren, pretending not to see Changsun Ying at all, pulled Bai Ren aside and pointed at himself The brim of his hat signaled him to look quickly. Zhangsun Ying, who was standing aside, was halfway through his words, but he didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he followed him and continued: "This white velvet hat is not crooked and is worn just right. Princess Yunchuan's temperament makes this velvet hat shine. And the gold thread embroidery on this gorgeous dress is even more..."
"Bai Ren, did you hear any insects chirping nearby?" Yun Chuan avoided Changsun Ying and looked to the side and asked.
"Yeah, I heard it too, it was very noisy." Thinking of Nata who was heartbroken today, Bai Ren was also impatient with his eldest grandson Ying.
"Let's go quickly and stay away from this insect." Yun Chuan pulled Bai Ren forward without looking back.
Yunchuan and Bai Ren and other juniors naturally followed the leaders of Tusang, Xiayi and Xiyu. Although Yunchuan was the same generation as the eldest grandson Ying, Xiyu Khan did not come in person this time due to his old age. Changsun Ying led several generals to participate, and Changsun Ying naturally had to be at the forefront. This also allowed Yunchuan to finally get rid of Changsun Ying's following him every step of the way, and he felt much relieved.
"Sister Yunchuan, look at the eldest grandson Ying, why is he also dressed in red? He must know that you like the color red, so he dressed up like this on purpose!" Bai Ren said angrily when he saw the eldest grandson Ying in front of him in the background.
Only then did Yun Chuan notice that the eldest grandson Ying was also wearing a red outfit. There were also gold thread embroidery patterns on the outer robe, and the texture seemed to be very similar. Yun Chuan said angrily: "Leave him alone, let's stay away from him."
————————————————————————
Night has not yet fallen, there is still a hint of red clouds on the horizon, and the white full moon looms from the east. It is said that strange rocks will sparkle on full moon nights, and Yunchuan is still looking forward to it.
Walking to the east side of Yuocui Mountain, Yunchuan discovered that a huge circular square had been erected here. More than a dozen circles of piers had been placed facing the mountain face, and the huge strange stone was covering the circular square. In the center, a fence was set up around the square, with stoves hung every three feet and heavily guarded. In front of the circular square, there is a square platform leaning against the mountain. The platform is ten feet wide. Directly opposite the platform is a viewing seat for the three major ethnic groups of the desert. It has Mount Huocui at its back and faces south to north.
The invited guests had already taken their seats around the platform. Being able to go deep into the desert area was a first for many people present. Although the conference had not yet started, such a majestic square had shattered the rumored impression of the desert in the Central Plains. ——Not having enough to eat is desolate and miserable.
"Why don't you see the treasures of our three major clans on display?" Yun Chuan stood on tiptoes and looked around, asking Bai Ren in a low voice in confusion.
"I heard that Huang Bei originally proposed the exhibition of the four treasures this time, but Huang Bei's century-old snow lotus is gone, and our three major clans also feel that there is no need to display it. Besides, everyone comes here for the strange stones, so No one cares about this." Bai Ren responded.
"Yes, it is indeed." Yun Chuan nodded, feeling unspeakable pain in his heart again, thinking of the innocent and pitiful Bayin, what on earth was Huang Bei planning.
Just as he was thinking about it, a huge gong sounded, piercing the sky, and the surrounding area suddenly became solemn and quiet. Yunchuan was startled. Looking forward, he saw the square, the square platform, and the dozens of miles of mountainside of Mount Cuicui opposite. On the top of the mountain, hundreds of stoves were lit at the same time, and the light was as bright as day. There were soldiers standing beside each stove. Only then did Yunchuan realize that the Yuezhi tribe had filled the entire mountain with heavy soldiers. They must have been all over the mountain. There are a lot of first-class shooters. Yunchuan and the others were seated against the mountain, which was not only condescending but also conducive to protecting themselves.
A group of people from the three major ethnic groups in the desert stepped onto the square, and the drummers on the side began to beat the drums with great momentum. A group of people from the desert walked slowly along the edge of the square, holding their heads high and looking majestic. For the first time, these people from the distant Central Plains came out from the rumors and historical dramas in the market. When they saw the majestic appearance of the supreme leaders who controlled the vast territory here, they all held their breath and stared in silence.
On this occasion, no matter how curious he was, Yun Chuan knew that he had to pretend to be aristocratic. She held her hands in front of her chest, and her wide armholes drooped and swayed slightly with the hem of her skirt. The lips are slightly raised in a just right arc, and the posture is upright, elegant and dignified. Yunchuan held his breath and maintained this posture, slowly advancing along with the leaders and generals.
"It turns out that the women in the grassland are not just for fun, they are so beautiful!"
"Well, she's not inferior to us Central Plains women at all."
"Is this the legendary Weedon Khan? So burly."
"Is that a fairy walking beside Weedon Khan? It's so beautiful."
. . . . . .
Listening to the comments of the people around him, Yun Chuan felt funny. The gentle lady and the gentleman were so jealous, but the heroes in the world all gossiped the same.
"Sister Yunchuan, isn't this your friend?" Bai Ren tugged at Yunchuan and pointed at the person in front of him.
Yun Chuan turned his head slightly, and the man was looking at him for who knows how long.
The man's eyes seemed a little different at this moment, less lonely and more gentle than ever before. He just looked at Yun Chuan intently, and his eyes slowly moved with Yun Chuan's footsteps.
"Is he going to say something to me?" Yun Chuan's eyes quickly swept across Yang Qingyuan's face, and her heart trembled slightly. She had never seen Yang Qingyuan look at her like this. The softness in his eyes made Yun Chuan's heart pound. The pace couldn't help but slow down. But then I thought about what Yang Qingyuan said to me in the afternoon - "Princess Yunchuan, I, Yang Qingyuan, have never owed favors to anyone, let alone saving my brother's life."
"The snow lotus that saved Yu Wenhan has been obtained. Of course he doesn't need to be tight anymore. What does it have to do with me? Why do I, the majestic Princess Tusang, need to look for trouble!" Yun Chuan's heart became cold again, and he silently said to himself He ordered.
Yun Chuan turned his head to cover up the ripples in his heart, restored his elegant and noble posture, quickly adjusted his pace, and slowly passed by Yang Qingyuan, his eyes indifferent, looking straight ahead.
After finally walking around, the three major ethnic groups in the desert finally came to the square platform and took their seats one by one. Yun Chuan and Bai Ren found a corner to sit down. Yunchuan leaned against the guardrail next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and beat his arms. My eyes scanned the crowd below. This seat was very good. There was no obstruction in front of me, and the light in my area was dark, which made it very convenient to view the strange rocks without being noticed by others.
Singing and dancing began in the circular square. Yun Chuan stretched his neck and glanced at the audience. Against the backdrop of the strange rocks, the twisting dancers looked so small. The people in front of the stage were drinking and singing with great interest. It must be a rare sight to enjoy singing and dancing in the desert on the vast grassland under the full moon.
There was a bustle of joy ahead, but Yun Chuan felt bored and leaned against the guardrail, lowering his head in silence.
"Sister Yunchuan, where do you think Nata is now?" Bai Ren was not in the mood to watch any Yunshi conference, and Nata's tear-stained face kept flashing in his mind.
"They probably won't be able to return to Huangbei until early tomorrow morning." Yun Chuan sighed, "Don't worry, I asked, and your father also sent someone to protect them all the way. They will return home safely."
"Oh." Bai Ren responded sadly, remained silent for a moment, and whispered, "After the Yunshi Conference, I want to go to Huangbei to propose marriage."
"So soon? Have you thought about it?" Yun Chuan sat up straight and looked at Bai Ren, who still had a childish face of sixteen years old and unsophisticated from the world, and his eyes were clear but firm. Yun Chuan remembered what Nata said about marrying Wei Chao, and sighed and said, "It's better to hurry up."
"Sister Yunchuan, actually, I'm not going to propose marriage so soon just for myself." Bai Ren lowered his eyes and said worriedly, "I don't really care about what happened in the past two days, Centenary Snow Lotus, it's just... It’s just an object, but because of it, Bayin lost his legs and almost died. We, the Yuezhi tribe, can’t get away with it no matter what.”
"Shh, please keep your voice down." Yun Chuan interrupted Bai Ren and whispered, "You must never say this again in the future. No matter how you judge this matter, it is not for you or me to have the final say. Even if we We have connections in the tribe, so we won’t let a Baylor settle it with marriage. Besides, Huang Bei is not innocent after all the things he has done. King Yelu is born to be proud, and he may not be able to accept this tone."
After hearing this, Bai Ren was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sister Yunchuan is still thoughtful, and I am still reckless. However, I have thought about the matter of proposing marriage, and it is best as soon as possible."
