Lobsang Gonbu felt a little embarrassed listening to Qinggeler's slightly sarcastic words. He had indeed been engrossed in watching, but he felt that he was just a normal man and naturally couldn't escape the common desire to be alone.
Now everyone on the field is attracted to Yaro, and he feels that there is nothing wrong with what he is doing. The more he thinks this way, the more he feels that he is right and the more he feels that Qinggeler is somewhat unreasonable.
Looking at the beauty, and remembering how she had adored him just yesterday, Lobzang Gunbu felt a surge of pride. In short, he became a little arrogant and thought he was capable.
Lobsang Gunbu felt more and more confident the more he thought about it. He felt that this was just a matter of everyone appreciating beauty. Anyway, it was impossible for him and Ya Ruo to be together, so what if they looked at it?
With renewed confidence, Lobsang Gunbu spoke to Qinggeler in a more lecturing tone: "Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? I usually let you be unreasonable, but today you've lost your dignity in front of the Emperor. I doubt you, Abu, will take your side."
Qinggeler was even angrier when she heard Lobsang Gunbu speak like that, but she knew Lobsang Gunbu was right and that she shouldn't lose her temper on this occasion. However, she wouldn't let it go.
Qinggeler was confident that no one would pay attention to them, and since she and Lobsang Gunbu were engaged, even if they were seen sitting together, they would only be teased a few times. Mongolians did not place particular importance on the separation of men and women.
Qinggele sat next to Lobsang Gunbu, feeling completely emboldened.
Seeing that Qinggele had no intention of returning, but with Qinggele beside him, Lobzang Gunbu couldn't stare at Ya Ruo, so he said, "You should go back quickly. If the Emperor sees you, he'll think that our Khorchin people have no manners."
Qinggele scoffed, "The Emperor won't notice this. Besides, even if the Emperor did see it, so what? What kind of relationship do we have? The Emperor can't say anything bad about it."
Lobsang Gunbu said helplessly, "Whatever you say."
Seeing this, Qinggele refused to leave, knowing that she couldn't do anything about Lobsang Gunbuna.
Lobsang Gunbu was extremely annoyed with Qinggeler. If the marriage hadn't been so necessary, he would have told Abu to call it off.
Qinggele glanced at the alluring Ya Ruo in the arena and said disdainfully, "Don't even think about it. She's eyeing the Emperor. I don't know what she meant yesterday. Maybe she thought you were a wooden stake and deliberately teased you? Well, it's not impossible. There was a princess in our clan who used to flirt with everyone. She'd hook up with one guy today and flirt with another tomorrow. What happened in the end? I remember she suddenly lost her innocence without any explanation and was even disfigured. Well, those shameless people deserve this fate."
Lobsang Gunbu's face darkened as he listened to Qinggele's words. How could he not see why Zasaktu Khan Chenggun had made his own sister dance? He had just been a little arrogant, but now, listening to Qinggele's rambling, he actually felt like the fool who had been played by a woman.
Lobsang Gunbu: "Alright, that's enough."
Qinggeler was satisfied when he saw that Lobsang Gunbu was angry. Sure enough, if he was having a hard time, he should make others suffer too.
Qinggele laughed and said, "What? Are you angry because you're embarrassed? Is it really that big of a deal? It's just that you've been set in love with by a shameless woman. It's not worth getting angry."
After Qinggele finished speaking, Yaruo finished her dance.
Having seen countless dances in his previous life, Yinzhen naturally wouldn't find the dance performed by a princess in her teens particularly amazing. However, given the occasion, he still had to offer praise where appropriate.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Not bad, Liang Jiugong deserves a reward."
Liang Jiugong: "Hah!"
Ya Ruo stepped forward and knelt down: "This servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace. To be able to dance for Your Majesty is already a reward from Your Majesty. This servant should not ask for anything more."
Yunrong found these words very awkward. He was seducing her man right in front of her, and she remembered this Princess Ya Ruo! Ya Ruo was one of the "two women" in yesterday's "two women fighting over one man".
Yesterday she was gazing at other men with affection, but today she's subtly flirting with her man. Did she even ask for her opinion?
Yunrong tugged at Yinzhen, signaling for her to speak, and Yinzhen naturally listened to Yunrong.
Yunrong said, "Really, you don't want anything? The Emperor's gifts are extremely rare, and I cherish them all. Today, there are many talented young men here. Princess Yaruo, why don't you tell me which type you prefer? If the Emperor is pleased, it might even lead to a wonderful marriage!"
Ya Ruo smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. This servant admires heroes who are both heroic and skilled in literature and martial arts."
"Heroic and majestic" and "capable in both literature and martial arts"—who among those present would dare to accept such a title? Apart from Yinzhen, no one else had the guts. Ya Ruo was determined to cling to Yinzhen.
Yunrong smiled and said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty should look carefully. I have already spoken, and there should be someone here who meets Princess Yaruo's requirements. Your Majesty is knowledgeable and knows many talented men. Why not act as a matchmaker for Princess Yaruo? What does Your Majesty think?"
Yinzhen naturally continued Yunrong's words, saying, "The Empress is right. So many talented young men have come today, and I think there are quite a few who meet Princess Yaruo's requirements. I will assign one to her."
Ya Ruo felt somewhat ashamed when she saw that the emperor was so disregarding the dignity of their Zhasak tribe.
Ya Ruo's purpose in coming here was to form a marriage alliance with the Qing Dynasty royal family, with the Emperor as her target. As for the incident of rescuing the damsel in distress yesterday, she did have feelings for Lobsang Gunbu, but no matter how much she liked him, she knew what she should and shouldn't do.
