[Khan Chapter 24] Where is the Princess? (Update 2)
As long as Chu Jiao agrees, changing her identity will be easy.
Biluo changed into an intricate and exquisite Xiangyun gauze skirt, and Chu Jiao personally decorated her hair with a ruby headpiece that was combed by Hong Xiu.
"Look," Chu Jiao put her hands on Biluo's shoulders, put her mouth close to her ear, and said seductively, "If she dresses up carefully, our Biluo is not bad either."
Yes...
Biluo looked at her blurry but luxurious outfit in the bronze mirror, and the princess behind her who was wearing a simple coarse cloth skirt, and felt that she was really no worse than anyone else.
Restraining her smug and vain heart, she pretended to be terrified and said, "The princess is naturally beautiful, and Biluo is just imitating others."
Chu Jiao was wearing a waist-length skirt that a maid wore at the moment, and her long black hair was only fixed with an ebony hairpin. Her fair face was not made up, but it was hard to hide her beauty. "Okay, you are beautiful if I say you are beautiful," Chu Jiao liked the original owner's temperament at this time, and was impatient to be polite with her, "You should stay in the room before you leave, Hongxiu will bring you food!"
"...Yes." Biluo could only agree at this moment.
"Princess!" Seeing that Chu Jiao was about to leave her alone, Hongxiu stamped her feet, worried about her safety.
"Don't worry, it's okay," Chu Jiao was followed closely by someone all the way. It was so hard to get some fresh air alone, so of course she didn't want to miss it. "Hong Xiu, you are now the personal maid of the 'Princess', you can't run around!"
Hong Xiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Biluo. "Hong Xiu, have you forgotten what the Royal Concubine told you before leaving the palace?"
"No, no," the Royal Concubine told them both to "obey the princess and protect her safety," "but the princess is not safe alone!"
"I'll just walk around the post station. It's broad daylight, and they are all our people. What's unsafe about it?" Chu Jiao waved her hand, "Besides, I'm not the princess now. Hong Xiu, you should call me 'A Jiao'."
"Yes...A Jiao." Hong Xiu pouted and had to obey.
Many people have seen Biluo's appearance. She can cover her face to play Chu Jiao, but Chu Jiao can't change her appearance to play her.
Some maids accompanied her, and Chu Jiao simply became a second-class maid newly promoted by the "Princess". "Biluo" made an excuse, saying that she was kidnapped by a thief last night. Biluo
hoped that she could replace Chu Jiao and steal the dragon and turn the swan into the swan, but she didn't know that Chu Jiao had already erased her existence from everyone's mind.

"Princess."
Biluo was playing with the various precious jewelry in the Chu Jiao makeup box in the room. Hongxiu glared at her, but she didn't care. After hearing Zheqie's report outside the door, she cleared her cough twice and asked with a suppressed throat, "What's the matter?"
Zheqie thought the princess' voice was a little strange, not as nice as before, but he didn't think much about it. "My king will arrive at the post station to pick up the bride. Please get ready and set off."
What!?
Biluo opened her eyes wide, raised her head and looked at Hongxiu, both of them were a little panicked.
Biluo thought that she would have to go to Xianbei to see the Khan at least, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly come to pick up the bride! What to do? There was no time to deal with other people. If she was found to be fake, she would definitely die miserably!
No, it won't be discovered!
Biluo comforted herself. Before getting married, the engaged couple will not see each other, and she will cover her head with a red veil according to the custom of Da Chu, so it will definitely not be discovered.
"Got it, you can leave first!" Biluo said loudly.
Hongxiu wanted to go out to find the princess and call back her identity, but was stopped by Biluo, "Didn't you hear!? He said that the Khan will be here soon! What if you go out and can't find the princess and don't come back, how can I, a "princess", not have a maid by my side!? If we are discovered by then, we will all die!"
Hongxiu was frightened when she heard her say this, so she had to take care of her first, and changed Biluo into a formal dress and covered her face with a red veil.
Meanwhile, Huluyan led the
wedding procession and finally arrived at the post station. The three thousand men stopped on the grass outside the post station. Huluyan stood at the head of the team, his angular face looked deep and handsome under the sunlight. At this time, he had changed into a Hu costume, wearing a hunta on his head, narrow-sleeved gold hooks, sheath boots on his feet, and a gold and jade belt around his waist that showed his status and prestige.
"Your Majesty!"
Zheqie led the soldiers in the post station to pay tribute to Huluyan. Huluyan waved his hand and asked him, "Okay, where is the princess?"
If Huluyan had not wanted to save face for the little princess, he would not have wanted to do the empty rituals of welcoming the bride, and would have directly taken her back to the royal court.
"She just said she was getting ready. She should be out soon."
Zheqie was about to urge her again, but when he turned around, he saw the dignified "princess" coming out holding the hand of a maid.
Tuoba Hui stood behind Huluoyan and looked at the figure of the Princess of Great Chu inconspicuously.
Tsk. So dry. He didn't expect his brother to like this type.
But maybe she is very beautiful? That would be worthy of his brother.
Huluoyan, who was waiting with a smile on his face, looked down at the woman who was slowly walking towards him.
He didn't even pull off the veil that covered his face tightly. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he took two steps forward and grabbed the "princess" by the slender neck.
He stared at Hongxiu with a sharp gaze and asked sinisterly,
"Tell me, where is your princess!?"
