Hongli injured his leg. Although it didn't seem serious, he certainly couldn't have been bitten on the first day and then be able to jump around and walk normally on the second day as if nothing had happened.
If Hongli doesn't move around, then there's no one to take care of the Mongols living in Mulanqiumi.
You should know that once people become idle, they are more likely to get into all sorts of trouble.
Having experienced countless battles, Chen Yuwei had long anticipated this possibility. Therefore, after briefly consulting with the imperial physicians about Hongli's physical condition, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and move the originally scheduled activities to the front of the agenda.
As for the hunting of women that I talked about with Yonghu and the others yesterday, we can't wait two days. Let's make it happen today.
Having changed into a red riding outfit, Chen Yuwei sat upright on the back of the horse Wuyun Taxue.
With a flick of her whip, Chen Yuwei's sweet voice rang out, and she led the women on horseback into a gallop.
The women's activities mainly consisted of horse racing, with hunting as a secondary activity.
In addition, Hongli had just had an accident last night, and before dawn this morning, the guards who came with him plowed through the distant mountains and forests from beginning to end.
Make sure there are no medium-sized wild animals this time, only small, harmless wild animals like pheasants, rabbits, and foxes.
It must be said that when the master is injured, it is the servants who suffer the most.
Adhering to the principle of participation, Chen Yuwei brought along Yonghu and a few other children, so she was naturally not one of the top competitors in this event.
When she rode back to the starting point on her black cloud-treading snow horse, carrying several wild rabbits with arrows stuck in their hands and covered in sweat, most of the group that had already finished their lap had returned.
The prey was carelessly left aside. Chen Yuwei leaped off her horse and took the handkerchief Xia He handed her to wipe her sweaty face.
"The game brought back is taken to the kitchen, and we use it to host a bonfire dinner in the evening."
After whispering a message to Xia He, Chen Yuwei smiled and invited the returning group to sit in the yurt.
After running around for almost a whole day, and with the awards ceremony for the winner coming up later, Chen Yuwei knew she had to recover her strength first, otherwise she wouldn't have any energy for the banquet.
Why
So, it's no wonder that Hongli's timing was terrible – he either didn't have this problem earlier or later!
While inwardly grumbling about Hongli, Chen Yuwei still had to greet the others with a smile.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuwei couldn't approach those men due to her status.
Chen Yuwei could only appease the women, and the men wouldn't cause any trouble.
After all, the most effective wind in the world is the pillow talk; a few words can turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing.
"Your Highness is joking. I am a humble woman and cannot be compared with Your Highness."
The speaker was the woman who won first place this time, the wife of a Mongolian prince.
She exudes a cool and wild beauty, making her instantly likable.
"You're too kind, Your Highness. You are a woman who is just as capable as any man. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
Even more capable than men, this lady is a true powerhouse.
I heard that the tribe is ruled by the Fujin (wife of the emperor), and the Mongol prince who came with her is more like a figurehead.
As soon as Chen Yuwei opened her mouth, she praised everyone present.
Anyway, nice words don't cost anything. Besides, since the gifts have already been promised, it's better to be more generous. It's too much of a loss to spend money and then have others gossip about it.
The atmosphere inside the yurt was harmonious and joyful, and Chen Yuwei's demeanor perfectly captured the psychology of the Mongolian women.
As the others gradually returned, the entire yurt was filled with people.
Despite being women, they possess a strength that cannot be ignored.
After mentioning the upcoming bonfire dinner, Chen Yuwei waved her hand and bestowed upon everyone exquisite daggers, beautiful bows and arrows, and sharp crescent blades...
Mongolian woman: ...Wow, he really wins her heart.
Unlike the Manchus who entered the pass and the Han people who had always lived inside the pass, the Mongols always admired martial prowess, and strong people were highly valued in their eyes.
Mongolian women are particularly agile because they grew up on horseback, and they also enjoy swordsmanship, which is something that ordinary women would not like.
Why did so many of the princesses who married into Mongolia die young?
It cannot be denied that part of the reason was the cold treatment she received from her Mongolian husbands, but another reason was that the Qing princesses were educated in Han Chinese culture and could not adapt to the fierce Mongolians, which is commonly referred to as a clash of values.
Who could bear living far from home and feeling stifled every day?
Over time, all sorts of unpleasant things will inevitably arise. In addition, the area outside the Great Wall was indeed bitterly cold in that era, so it was only natural that people would die.
Someone like Chen Yuwei can play around in Mulan Qiumi for a short time, but it definitely won't work in the long run.
This is the difference between people. Mutual understanding, respect, and utilization will bring unexpected benefits.
At night, the sky is filled with stars.
Bonfires were lit, and the tables of the women sitting on both sides were filled with the game they had hunted, which had been cooked into fragrant dishes.
Chen Yuwei sat at the head of the table, raised her hand to toast and said polite words.
People didn't come here just for a meal; conversations and probing were everywhere at the banquet.
Chen Yuwei transforms into a master of gathering information, skillfully navigating social situations while simultaneously collecting data.
As it turns out, the women were indeed more reliable than the men; while not everything they said was entirely true, it was mostly accurate.
Besides, everyone who attended Chen Yuwei's bonfire dinner was either capable or a man with ability, someone who had a broad perspective and a high level of understanding. It was a win-win situation for both sides, so what's wrong with that?
Still groggy, Chen Yuwei was helped into the yurt by Xia He. She rubbed her throbbing head and could barely speak.
