"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Nuan also felt that the eldest princess wouldn't dare to betray her before the two had completely fallen out, and continued to happily drink her milk tea.
She'll definitely agree eventually; it's just a matter of when and how much she'll negotiate.
After the eldest princess left, she immediately went to find her younger sister.
At this moment, the second princess was still enjoying the service of the male slaves. When she heard that her elder sister was coming, she quickly put on her clothes.
"Ayina," the eldest princess frowned as soon as she saw her, "Your husband isn't here?"
Although the Gandan noblewoman was open-minded, she did not dare to humiliate her husband at will; there were certain things that should be avoided.
Most of the time, she would choose a separate place to live with her favorite male slave.
“He’s not here,” the second princess said, her cheeks flushed and her whole body languid. “I sent him and his beloved female slave to herd sheep.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's eyes lit up with a smile, "Ayina, you've finally come to your senses!"
The eldest princess was very dissatisfied with her younger sister's high regard for a man, always feeling that she was trapping herself in her own hands.
As princesses, they could hardly find men who were a match for them in the entire Gandan. Even so, why not choose some obedient and pleasing men?
“I regret it so much,” the second princess squinted, somewhat annoyed. “Sister, I feel like my eyes were blinded by the vast snow before. Compared to the current male slaves, Terna has no advantage whatsoever, neither in personality nor ability!”
"It would be best if you could understand this. As the descendants of Baturhui, the vast grasslands are our true home. Men are just men, and we can enjoy them anytime."
“Sister Wang is absolutely right,” the Second Princess said, then changed the subject and asked in confusion, “Sister Wang, shouldn’t you be staying by the Goddess’s side? Why did you suddenly come looking for me?”
"All of you, get out!"
After dismissing the slaves, the eldest princess pulled her younger sister to sit in a secluded spot.
"Ayina, there's something I need your opinion on?"
"Does this concern the goddess?" the second princess asked teasingly. "Did she really agree to your request?"
“If only it were this,” the eldest princess said regretfully. “She agreed to help me, but she put forward two conditions: one is to return the slaves of the Great Zhou, and the other is to agree to let the Great Zhou army clean up the Alegen family.”
“This is a good thing,” the second princess said, puzzled. “With the help of the Great Zhou, the Alegen family will surely be defeated. Sister, you will definitely be able to realize your ambitions this time.”
"If that's the case, Gandan will have no choice but to rely on the Great Zhou from now on!"
This was simply unacceptable to the proud eldest princess.
She should be a wild wolf galloping across the grasslands, not a hunting dog chained up.
"So what?" the second princess said dismissively. "The strong are respected. If the Great Zhou is stronger than us, it's not shameful to bow down. On the contrary, we can suppress it."
The second princess has a very open-minded view on this matter.
Whether or not one is dependent is not important; the key is who holds the power of discourse.
The second princess trusted her older sister and believed that she would definitely be able to turn the tables.
"Um."
The eldest princess knew this principle, but she could never let go of her pride.
Suddenly, a slave rushed over.
"Princess, the Khan summons you. Please return to the palace immediately."
"knew."
After waving the slaves away, the eldest princess fell into deep thought, "Why is Father Khan looking for me at this time?"
"I'll go to the palace with my sister!"
"Can."
When the two arrived at the palace, the eldest prince had already arrived.
"May Father Khan be well!"
"Anuk, Ayina, why are you only arriving now?"
The eldest princess ignored him and looked directly at the Khan, "Father Khan, is there anything you need me to do?"
“It was I who sent Father Khan to find you,” the eldest prince said, a smirk playing on his lips. “Ah, Nuuk, what do you think of the goddess?”
"Mysterious and beautiful, like a lotus flower blooming on a snow-capped mountain."
"I'm asking about her abilities!"
“Brother Wang should know that the plum blossom I recently acquired was given to me by the goddess and appeared out of thin air.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince was overjoyed. "Father, I am not wrong, am I? The goddess truly has extraordinary abilities. We must keep her here."
"Father Khan," the eldest princess became alert, "what are you going to do?"
“Of course we must keep the goddess. She can only be an ally of Gandan,” the eldest prince said, his eyes filled with determination. “Sister, you and Father Khan should discuss this carefully. I will take my leave first.”
"Father Khan, what are you going to do?"
"It's nothing, I'm just bestowing the goddess upon your brother."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess immediately became anxious, "Father, do you know what you are doing? The goddess's methods are unpredictable, how can she be humiliated by your brother so easily?"
“Alright, your brother is right. The goddess can only be an aid to Gandan,” the Khan said dismissively. “That’s settled then.”
Emerging from the palace, the eldest princess trembled with rage. "Foolish, utterly foolish!"
Even though she hadn't figured out what the goddess's trump card was, these two people were already thinking they were snatching her away. Weren't they afraid of bringing trouble to Gandan?
"Sister Wang," the Second Princess was startled by her reaction, "Does the goddess really have the power to overthrow Gandan?"
"She is a celestial being known to everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people. What do you think?"
"People from the Great Zhou?" The Second Princess's eyes widened. "What are the people from the Great Zhou doing in Gandan? Aren't they afraid they won't be able to return to the Great Zhou?"
“Since the goddess dares to come, she must have something to rely on,” the eldest princess sneered. “That idiot Balbu dared to rush in without even knowing the details of others. Is his head filled with grass?”
After saying that, the eldest princess hurriedly left.
The series of messages left the second princess stunned and speechless for a long time. "Baturhui, is all of this true?"
Gandan does not have the concept of taking concubines; one can have countless wives, and whoever controls the inner quarters is the mistress.
Although there are no specific requirements for marriage, it is still necessary to prepare cattle, sheep, gold, and silver as a symbol of sincerity.
The eldest prince was busy preparing these things and didn't notice the eldest princess's actions.
"Alice, I grant your request!"
"You figured it out so quickly?" Jiang Nuan was quite surprised.
She thought this person would be conflicted for at least two or three days.
“However,” the eldest princess stated her condition, “Gandan will only submit to you and your family, not to the Great Zhou royal family.”
“This…” Jiang Nuan blinked, then explained, “To be honest, I would prefer Gandan to submit to me, but I’m sorry, I cannot accept that.”
"Why?" The eldest princess was puzzled. "As far as I know, your status in the Great Zhou is too high, and you are greatly feared by the royal family. With Gandan as your support, your situation can be changed a lot."
“You’ve misunderstood,” Jiang Nuan explained with a light laugh. “The royal family isn’t afraid of me; it’s just that some people in the court are too narrow-minded.”
"Is that so?" The eldest princess remained noncommittal. "Is Alice sure she won't accept Gandan's surrender?"
“I can’t give you what you want,” Jiang Nuan said, “and I can’t guarantee that I can suppress you.”
