"Sister," the second princess suddenly realized something, "you still insist?"
“Isn’t this how it should be?” The princess smiled. “We are all Baturhui’s children, but Father Khan has excluded us, preferring to let the women of Algen rule generation after generation, rather than let us be kings.”
There is a very peculiar phenomenon in Gandan: the queens of all dynasties had no children, yet they were able to become queen mothers and rule Gandan.
This behavior seemed extremely foolish to the eldest princess.
Admittedly, she did not deny that the women of the Alleghen family were very capable, patient, cunning, and far-sighted. However, the more they were like this, the more resentful she became.
If the lambs of the family are not capable of fulfilling their responsibilities, they should vacate their positions instead of allowing an outsider to usurp them.
The eldest princess swore on her father and brothers that she had such thoughts not because the queen had repeatedly tried to force her into the Alleghen family.
She's already killed three or four of her own loyal followers, yet she still won't give up. Does she really think she has no temper?
May the spirit of Baturhui protect you!
After the second princess finished speaking, she sighed and left.
She also had her own things to do. Since her husband insisted on being a female slave, she would gladly grant their wish.
The women of the Alleghen family are not to be trifled with, and the women of the Baturhui family are even more so.
Jiang Nuan had only been there a short time and hadn't yet been exposed to this kind of information. Haerqi, on the other hand, didn't think it was a secret that hadn't been told. When she heard it for the first time, she was truly shocked.
"Are all the queens and queen mothers of Gandan from the Alleghen family?"
“Yes,” Harqi thought it was normal. “It’s the seventh generation. The first matriarch of the Algen family established the rules. She was a very wise elder, smarter than the most cunning wolf on the grassland.”
“So,” Jiang Nuan suddenly thought of a question, “could it be that all the princesses come from the Allegheny family?”
Upon hearing this, Halzi paused for a moment before replying, "Regardless of the process, only a woman from the Alleghen family can be the queen."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan was speechless.
I have absolutely no idea how to evaluate this behavior.
The Alleghen family wielded power but did not interfere with their offspring, while the Baturhui family, though seemingly prosperous, remained subject to the control of others.
It's a very delicate balance, and the current results seem to suit Gandan very well, but it's uncertain whether it will be disrupted.
It's only in a nomadic people like the Gandan, who rely on force, that a non-royal family is elevated to such a high position. The royal family nominally controls the various tribes, but in any other place, problems would arise long ago.
However, even so, the Baturhui and Alegen families will eventually have a showdown.
"The eldest prince's wife is also from the Alegan family, isn't she?"
Jiang Nuan spoke with absolute certainty.
Only someone from that family could remain completely indifferent to her husband's advances towards others; her birth had already determined her fate, and she would ultimately be the winner no matter what.
“Yes, she is the third daughter of Chief Algen,” Halzi said after a moment’s hesitation, “of the four princes, many people think the seventh prince is more suitable. The choice of the crown prince depends to a large extent on the Algen family’s choice.”
After glancing around warily to make sure no one was around, Halzi lowered his voice and said, "The Alleghen family prefers people with gentle personalities when choosing members."
Having uttered this statement, Halzi dared not say any more.
He dared not discuss matters concerning royalty.
Batur's prestige is evident in every aspect, and he cannot be challenged.
"clear!"
This is probably why the Northwest has always been peaceful.
Was the southern expedition at this time the opinion of the Algen family or the idea of Baturhui?
It seems that the situation in Gandan is more complicated than he had imagined.
At this moment, Jiang Nuan didn't blame Huang Shu and Jiang Chao for not arriving sooner; she needed to gather more information.
In the days that followed, Jiang Nuan had some free time and just waited for someone to inform her of the blessing.
“Auntie,” Harzi said with a bitter expression, “the eldest princess has come to deliver gifts again. Don’t you think we should think of a solution?”
Where is she?
"Wait outside."
"Fine, let her in!"
After saying that, Jiang Nuan felt all the strength drain from her body.
She felt like she was being targeted, and that she was a woman at that.
This is the first time in two lifetimes that it has bloomed, and it's turned out so crooked...
What a mundane life!
"Alice, we meet again."
The moment the princess saw the person, she immediately smiled radiantly.
"It's been a long time, Your Highness. Please come in for tea!"
His attitude was natural and casual, yet tinged with a slight sense of melancholy.
"Alice, you look beautiful today, more beautiful than the most beautiful flower on the prairie."
"Is that so!"
Jiang Nuan remained noncommittal.
Seeing this, the eldest princess curled the corners of her lips, her eyes sparkling with a lively light.
Only now did Jiang Nuan make her feel a trace of sincerity, instead of meaningless fake smiles.
Jiang Nuan ignored her, intending to have a cup of tea and send her away to prevent her from actually making a move on her.
Suddenly, the princess's words startled Jiang Nuan so much that she almost choked.
"Alice, you've come down from the snow mountain. Did you bring a message from God?"
The eldest princess leaned lazily against the chair, speaking casually.
“Princess,” Jiang Nuan said, puzzled, “I don’t remember ever saying that I came from the snow mountain. Why are you all so sure about this?”
At first, she would try to explain, but later she simply gave up and accepted it completely.
"Because you exude the scent of the snow-capped mountains," the princess said with a smirk, "a fragrance that emanates from the cold, which even the strongest mare's milk wine cannot mask."
"But this taste?"
Jiang Nuan waved her hand, and a blooming plum blossom appeared out of thin air.
The eldest princess took it, sniffed it lightly, and shook her head regretfully, "It looks somewhat like it, but it's not."
"That's strange!"
No one had ever talked to me about this before.
"Alice, may I have this flower?"
Although it was a question, the princess had already gripped the item tightly in her hand, showing no intention of returning it.
“Of course,” Jiang Nuan thought the princess was quite interesting. “May it bring you joy.”
"Is the goddess's blessing mine alone?"
With a raised eyebrow, the princess unabashedly exuded her charm.
Cough cough...
The girl was probably born with the wrong gender!
I guess so!
Upon hearing this, the princess laughed even more heartily, but after a moment she composed herself and reminded her, "Alice, you haven't told me God's will yet."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Nuan also started to get serious.
After learning about the complicated relationships within the Gandan royal family, she began gathering information on the subject.
The eldest princess is the only royal princess to date who has dared to defy the Allegheny family!
She forced marriage four times, killed four of Alergen's legitimate sons, and still managed to escape unscathed and unaffected.
Being favored is one aspect, but her methods are also quite unfathomable. Every time she does something, she knows that she is the mastermind, but she can't find any evidence.
