Following the red-robed man's words, his cold eagle-like eyes looked towards Xianglian.
Sensing this oppressive gaze from the Northern Barbarian Chanyu, Xianglian's scalp went numb and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from trembling like a sieve.
Just when Xianglian felt that she was about to give up, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu finally turned his eyes away from her. The minister sitting next to her immediately spoke up, "The eldest prince is talking about the women that Young Master Nanxing sent to the Helian tribe a while ago."
Upon hearing this, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu nodded slightly, "Nanxing has always done things properly."
Then he cast his gaze on Prince Helian, raised the corners of his lips leniently, and said with a smile: "Hu Yun, from what you said, are you very satisfied with the batch of women sent by Nanxing?"
"Of course the people sent by Young Master Nanxing are good. They are all trained. Father gave us a few as a reward. They are very useful and different from our northern barbarian women. They have a unique flavor."
Prince Helian smacked his lips as if savoring something. After praising the Nanxing Master who was favored by the Chanyu, he did not forget to give him some eye drops. "But women are just like that, they are just new and fresh. Only someone like Hu Lin who is confused would treat a Dayong woman as a treasure."
The "Hu Lin" mentioned by the eldest prince of Helian, Helian Huyun, is his half-brother and one of the only two princes of the Helian tribe. Because his mother is the current princess of King Helian and he comes from the brave and warlike Tuoba tribe, many people have been eyeing the second prince to become the young master of the Helian tribe in recent years.
"oh?"
"What do you mean?" The Northern Barbarian Chanyu raised his eyebrows with interest.
"You don't know, Hu Lin... fell in love with a woman from Dayong. One of the women from Dayong that were sent here. She looks pretty, but she's a worthless piece of shit. She's even had a child. I don't know what Hu Lin likes about her, but he insists on making her his princess. My father and mother are so worried now that their heads are about to explode."
Helian Huyun sighed and shook his head, as if he really felt sorry for his brother.
Everyone present was smart and could tell that he wanted to take the opportunity to flatter the Chanyu.
As everyone knows, the Chanyu hates those who are sentimental and indecisive, and he hates Dayong very much. Hu Lin's love for the women of Dayong is likely to arouse the Chanyu's disgust.
Although the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians were governed individually by tribal leaders, matters like the appointment of a young master still had to be approved by the Chanyu.
If the Chanyu does not like Hu Lin, even if King Helian and the Queen want him to take the position of young master, they have to consider the Chanyu's thoughts.
The Helian tribe only has two princes. If the Chanyu dislikes Helian Hulin, it goes without saying who will be the young master of the Helian tribe...
"It was because of this that my mother became ill due to Hulin's anger, and my father was also held back by this, so he was unable to come here in person to welcome you. I was the one who came here temporarily."
Helian Huyun just wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble for his brother, and was not ready to let the Chanyu bear a grudge against his father, so he hurriedly explained: "My father specifically asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
"Besides, he has been staying in the royal court for the past few days and has just prepared a welcoming banquet for you."
"Thank you for your kindness." The Northern Barbarian Chanyu nodded indifferently.
There was no sign of joy or anger on his face.
He waved his hand and had someone lead Helian Hu Yun out of the main car.
Princess Changning, and Xianglian and Yuqi who came with her, were not driven away by the people in the main car.
Everyone treated them as nothing, no different from the tables, lamps and other decorations in the car, just as if they didn't exist, and said: "Chan Yu, look...the two princes of the Helian tribe?"
The Northern Barbarian Chanyu shook his head with a cold face.
Of course he disliked Helian Hu Lin, who was full of romantic feelings as described by Helian Hu Yun, but he disliked Helian Hu Yun even more, who seemed carefree but was actually narrow-minded and even calculating towards his brothers.
"The two sons of the Helian tribe are both unworthy of important positions. It's a pity that King Helian, a great hero of his generation, has no successor." The Northern Barbarian Chanyu shook his head with regret. When he said this, his tone couldn't help but bring out a bit of pride: "Unlike me, I have five sons, all of whom are brave and brave, and there is also Nanxing who is born with a smart mind. It really saves me a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing this, the ministers sitting beside him all praised the Chanyu for being able to train people.
The five princes of the Huyan tribe were praised several times one by one from top to bottom. Even "Prince Nanxing", who was separated from the Chanyu by blood, was singled out and praised over and over again.
…
After the ministers left the main carriage, the Chanyu seemed to remember Princess Changning, who he had called to serve in the carriage.
He waved his hand casually and ordered her to leave.
As soon as she returned to her carriage, Princess Changning fell into her seat as if all her strength had been drained away.
With a serious expression, he said to Yu Qi: "Find a chance to leave tonight."
According to her understanding of Chanyu, he called her to serve him today, and would do so in the next few days. Chanyu had sharp eyes, unlike anyone else. Princess Changning was worried that if Yu Qi stayed any longer, Chanyu would notice something was wrong.
"Princess, the Helian tribe's royal court..."
I just learned from Prince Helian that the group of Dayong women are in the royal court of the Helian tribe. If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Bai is also among those women.
Yu Qi even had the idea of changing his plan and waiting for the royal court of the Helian tribe before looking for a chance to escape.
Princess Changning shook her head and rejected the idea. "Leave early. You can get out of this situation safely, and I can rest assured sooner."
As for the women of Dayong who fell into the royal court of the Helian tribe, Princess Changning promised: "I will try to meet them. If I can find the eldest daughter of the Bai family you mentioned, I will think of a way to get her out of the royal court of the Helian tribe and find a place for her to stay for the time being."
She couldn't get away by herself, but it wouldn't be difficult for her to arrange someone to do it.
"Then I'll trouble you, Princess." Yu Qi took a deep look at Princess Changning's thin face and said seriously, "Princess, you don't have to endure it for too long. After the master knows about your situation, he will definitely find a way to take you away as soon as possible."
"Stop making things difficult for your master."
Princess Changning smiled helplessly, "This is my fate, I can't blame others."
Even if someone is to be blamed, it should be the cruel father, not the royal brother who had nothing to do with the matter.
At this point, knowing that there are people in the royal family other than my mother who care about me is already heartwarming.
Princess Changning finally said softly, "Don't let my brother worry about my safety."
"If there really comes a day when my brother can take me back, I hope it will be when the soldiers of Dayong conquer the Northern Barbarian Grassland."
"I hope that by then, the person sitting on the throne will have become my brother."
