At the welcome banquet in the evening, Shanlu Khan introduced Wen Yuan to everyone present, "This is Princess Xianyang of the Dragon Kingdom. The most feared person is her father, who has a distinguished status. The princess will stay with us for a while. Day, you have to treat her well."
The purpose of specifically mentioning King Dingnan is to let some blind people remember Wen Yuan, so as not to offend her and not know how she died.
"King Dingnan... then she is not the Princess of Shunyang, how come she has become a princess?" There were whispers below.
"It's from the Jin Dynasty. I heard that the princess of the Dragon Kingdom can be granted the title of princess. Besides, her father has great military achievements. It's not surprising." This statement seemed to mean that Wen Yuan was taking advantage of his own father.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't mind. Anyway, she got this honor through her father, and her ability to reincarnate is also her ability.
Some people wanted to take the opportunity to climb onto Wen Yuan's high branch, "Princess Xianyang, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine." The man drank the wine in his glass without waiting for Wen Yuan to refuse, and a hint of redness appeared on his slightly red face. An unpredictable smile.
How could Shen Huaiyan, a man, not see through his inner thoughts? He immediately blocked the glass of wine offered to Wen Yuan, "The princess is too drunk, I will drink this glass for her."
Although the man wanted to ask where he came from, when he thought that the people around Wen Yuan must not be ordinary people, he had no choice but to leave in anger.
"You..." Wen Yuan was really helpless. This stinky fox gets jealous too easily. Isn't it just a glass of wine? There's no need to be so defensive.
Unexpectedly, Shen Huaiyan put his arm around Wen Yuan's waist in full view of everyone, "You are mine, so I won't let you drink with other men."
"Other men can't, so you can always have a drink with me." Chi Zhaoyue smiled evilly, holding up her glass and waiting for Wen Yuan to clink it with her.
"Hey, you are naturally different from others." When he turned away, Wen Yuan clearly saw the blush on Shen Huaiyan's face.
I didn't expect that this smelly fox is not only jealous, but also shy so easily. It's really interesting.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone at the banquet was somewhat drunk, and Wen Yuan was no exception.
After carrying her back to her place of residence, Wen Yuan and Chi Zhaoyue drank in the pavilion in the backyard, talking about Wen Yuan's affairs.
"It's strange. Every time my hand touches the birthmark on her back, I feel power flowing into my body." He looked at his fingertips blankly. "At first, I thought it was me who was overthinking it. It was only recently that I was sure that this was not an illusion..."
But his... true feelings.
Chi Zhaoyue didn't believe that such a thing existed, but he also knew that Shen Huaiyan was not the kind of person who talked nonsense, so he asked him doubtfully: "What does her birthmark look like?"
"A birthmark of dead vine and cinnabar, growing from the tailbone to the back of the neck."
"So big?" A birthmark like this would be conspicuous no matter where it is placed, but luckily it is on the back. If it is on the face and hands, which are usually visible places, Wen Yuan cannot be criticized to death.
Shen Huaiyan sighed quietly, "Oh...yes, Yuanyuan herself is very concerned about this birthmark, but she just doesn't show it."
"Does this birthmark make her feel any discomfort?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Huaiyan's expression became more solemn, "She always said it would be a burning pain."
"ah!"
While the two were chatting, they heard Wen Yuan's cry from inside the palace, "What's going on? Come in quickly and see that I'm guarding outside."
When Shen Huaiyan ran into Wen Yuan's bedroom, he found her staring at the window, "Just now... there was someone standing outside the window just now... a person with long ears, just like yours..."
Wen Yuan got into the quilt and was so frightened that he was a little confused, "I thought it was you at first... but... it turned out..."
It looked a little funny to put the quilt over her head, but Shen Huaiyan still asked her seriously what was wrong.
"The thing suddenly opened its eyes...because it was facing away from the light and I couldn't see his face clearly, but...but I saw clearly that his eyes were red...just staring at me..."
As she spoke, Wen Yuan buried her head in the quilt again, "I...I, I...I won't sleep tonight..."
She couldn't describe the situation now. Anyway, when she opened her eyes, she saw a man with fox ears standing by the window. When she opened her eyes, they were still blood red. Even in the dark, she could see those penetrating eyes.
Shen Huaiyan sat beside the bed and hugged her, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid anymore... I will stay here tonight, and Ah Yue will also stay outside. You can sleep well, you won't have nightmares anymore..." "
In fact, they were not sure whether this was a nightmare or not, but the most important thing now was for Wen Yuan to calm down.
She curled up in Shen Huaiyan's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably, and finally she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
But after Wen Yuan fell asleep, the figure appeared outside the window again, and this time Shen Huaiyan also saw it, "Who are you?" His voice was so low that only he and the figure could hear it.
This was all to avoid waking up Wen Yuan, otherwise he would want to rush out and strangle to death this thing that scared Wen Yuan in the middle of the night.
"We have met before." The black figure made a familiar voice to Shen Huaiyan. It was the powerful demon from last time. Why did he appear here?
Shen Huaiyan knew that he was no match. Chi Zhaoyue also appeared behind the black shadow and stared at him closely, "Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in you, I'm...interested in her."
The black shadow stretched out its slender nails and pointed at the sleeping Wen Yuan, "Don't worry, I won't hurt her, I'm just here to remind you...be careful of the people around you."
The two of them became more and more confused. Why did this demon care about Wen Yuan so much?
After explaining, the shadow disappeared again. Wen Yuan slept soundly that night, all because of the shadow.
"What does he want..." Shen Huaiyan has never encountered this kind of problem in his life. He can't see the current situation clearly. "Could this dark shadow have been observing us secretly?"
Chi Zhaoyue simply looked at Wen Yuan with her eyes closed, and when she saw that she was fine, she let go of her worries, "Since he said he had no intention of hurting A Yuan, then we might as well relax and take a look at the people around us. How would you attack Ah Yuan?"
It's just that the person around me...can't be Chunhua, right? Even if he killed Chi Zhaoyue, he wouldn't believe that Chunhua would do anything detrimental to Wen Yuan.
Shen Huaiyan gently stroked Wen Yuan's forehead, wiped away the sweat for her, and fanned her, "It's too hot in Keqi. My hot stone is useless. I'm afraid Yuanyuan will not be able to bear it."
"Tomorrow we will find some big ice cubes and put them in the temple, and then put hot stones on them."
"In this desert, clean water is very rare. How come it is frozen into ice cubes just for cooling off?"
"Ayuan is a princess, she will have whatever she wants." Chi Zhaoyue's words awakened Shen Huaiyan.
Yes, Wen Yuan is the princess of the Dragon Kingdom. Whatever she wants, Shanlu Khan will find it for her even if he wants to.
At noon on the second day, the sun was shining. It was the hottest time in the desert. Wen Yuan was sweating from the heat and kept fanning the wind with his hands. "Why is it so hot? It's much hotter than Nanata..."
The hot stones in the main hall were completely useless. The higher temperature had to force Wen Yuan to accept his fate and replace him with their desert service.
But she still couldn't let go of the birthmark on her back completely, so she could only use light gauze to block the large cinnabar birthmark.
Shanlu Khan's servants brought her seasonal fruits, and the hall was filled with a sweet and fresh smell, but it still couldn't lower the temperature.
"Princess, if it's too hot, go for a walk in the garden. There is a fountain built with the help of messengers from foreign lands. When you are sweating profusely and the heat is unbearable, you will always go there to relax." The maid came to serve Wen Yuan just today.
I heard that Shanlu Khan sent her specially to help Wen Yuan get familiar with life in the desert, but Wen Yuan did not let her take care of her daily life and only did some chores.
Wen Yuan had never seen what the fountain was. He thought it was probably some spring that spit out from the ground. He followed the maid and expected to see the fountain in her mouth.
The fountain is in the middle of the garden. Wen Yuan and the others went off track last time so they didn't see the fountain.
Visually, the spring water gushing from the five- to six-meter-tall Eagle Goddess statue falls into the flat disk below. All the water flows into the small hole in the middle of the disk without splashing out at all.
Wen Yuan felt strange and wanted to take a closer look, but was stopped by the maid, "Princess, it's better to stand farther away. If you break it, I will also be punished."
The maid was no longer as humble as before, but had a look of being a villain. At this time, a group of women came out from behind the fountain. Wen Yuan recognized one of them, who was Shanlu Khan and Ke Dun at the banquet. Princess.
She could tell at a glance that these women had bad intentions, but with Shen Huaiyan and Chi Zhaoyue beside Wen Yuan, she would not be afraid.
"What?"
The woman next to the eldest princess clasped her hands on her chest and looked at Wen Yuan arrogantly, "What are you doing? Are you still not polite when you see the eldest princess?"
salute? Wen Yuan seemed to have heard a big joke. After the laughter stopped, he educated the woman, "I am also a princess, so there is no need to salute her."
"Don't forget that this is Keqi." The woman refused to let him go, and she yelled at Wen Yuan because she had a princess by her side.
Wen Yuan has a bad temper, so he doesn't spoil her, "The whole world is not the king's land. This world belongs to the emperor, and the place where I stand is also the land of my uncle."
The power of the Dragon Kingdom allowed Wen Yuan to show off unscrupulously. She didn't believe that anyone would become impatient and provoke her.
"You... are simply unreasonable!" Unable to speak to Wen Yuan, the woman began to use such words to describe Wen Yuan again.
"Okay ladies, can I leave now?" She didn't want to get involved in this group of women who only knew how to talk.
But just as he was about to leave, he was blocked by the woman.
Everyone can see that Wen Yuan is indeed unhappy, but she seems to be blind, "No, you must salute the eldest princess today!"
"I'm afraid you forgot what Shanlu Khan said at the banquet..." Wen Yuan deliberately pretended to be innocent and covered his mouth, "I forgot that a person of your status is not qualified to attend the banquet. I'm afraid you can only You can only come to this palace garden if you can cling to the princess."
