Despite his striking appearance, which was completely different from that of the grasslands, Chen Wangsheng was undeniably handsome and attracted a lot of attention.
Especially since the handsome young man, with his ethereal air, had a touch of melancholy on his face, countless people wanted to comfort him.
However, due to the knives carried by the surrounding soldiers, he stood at a distance and quietly observed.
However, Yuqin noticed that more and more people were gathering around her.
Fortunately, Tuoba Xun, who had left, has returned.
But at that moment, a young man whom Qingyin did not recognize appeared beside him.
Qingyin observed the man, who was also observing Qingyin. However, looking at the princess who was wrapped up properly, Tuci couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Tuci greets the esteemed Princess Zhaoyang."
Although this princess was to marry the Great Khan as his consort, since they had not yet held a wedding ceremony, it was not appropriate to use her formal title. For the sake of propriety, Tutsi still used the princess's title in the Qing Dynasty.
Qingyin raised her chin slightly and said haughtily, "Yes, get up."
Tutsch's lips twitched again, thinking he would be treated politely. After all, he had said that Dai was a confidant of the Khan, and this princess should at least be polite, if not flattering.
Looking at the little princess in front of him, who was wrapped up tightly but still exuded an extremely arrogant attitude, Tutz suddenly realized that this princess might not be as gentle as those weak princesses who were sent to the grasslands for marriage alliances in the past.
Oh no, the cold-hearted Khan will definitely dislike this arrogant little princess even more.
Touts thought to himself, however, that the princess's voice was quite pleasant, gentle yet magnetic, and that just listening to it was a pleasure.
Tutz stood up, his ears slightly red. Looking at the princess, he was surprisingly not as indifferent as usual, but instead showed a level of attentiveness that he himself was unaware of.
“Your Highness, the Great Khan is still busy with official duties. Why don’t you come with me to our tents to rest first?”
"Alright." Qingyin nodded casually, signaling everyone to follow her, but Chen Wangsheng, who wanted to follow, was stopped by Tuoba Xun.
Tuoba Xun looked at Chen Wangsheng, who still wanted to cling to the princess, and said with a forced smile, "Now that the princess has arrived on the grassland, General Chen Wangsheng has completed his mission. Why don't you go back and report to His Majesty the Great Qing as soon as possible?"
Chen Wangsheng looked at Tuoba Xun, who was blocking his way, and said calmly without wavering, "The princess has just arrived at the grassland, and we are not yet at ease about her safety. As for leaving, His Majesty once said that it is not too late to leave after the princess's safety is confirmed. General Tuoba Xun need not worry about leaving."
Seeing Chen Wangsheng dismiss his words with just a few words, Tuoba Xun laughed in exasperation.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Qingyin decided to stop them first, since Chen Wangsheng was currently one of her people.
"Alright, General Chen Wangsheng is only doing this for my safety. Let him stay around me for now. He will leave in a couple of days."
Qingyin intervened and stopped the two.
Tuc watched this scene quietly, but when he saw that Tuoba Xun, who was usually so arrogant on the grasslands, had actually become obedient after listening to Princess Zhaoyang's words, his eyes narrowed slightly.
After that, Qingyin's journey to her residence went smoothly.
As she walked over, Qingyin saw the child still standing there blankly and couldn't help but put the piece of candy that Yuqin had given her earlier into her hand.
Qingyin's actions startled the little girl. The little girl holding the candy was so frightened that she let go of the lamb in her arms, and the lamb bleated and ran away.
Tutz didn't miss Qingyin's movements; his gaze shifted from the candy in the little girl's hand to the princess's face.
"Does the princess really like children?"
Qingyin rolled her eyes at Tuci, who seemed to have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. "You like kids more than some heartless adults, right?"
Despite being clearly offended, Tutz wasn't angry. Strangely enough, he still didn't dislike the proud little princess.
Hopefully, this little princess will get used to life on the grasslands.
When they arrived at the residence, Qingyin could tell that the house was quite spacious. Originally, Tutts wanted to leave a few people to take care of this delicate princess, but after seeing the palace maids who were cleaning the house so familiarly as soon as they entered, Tutts ordered the people who were originally serving Qingyin to leave.
Qingyin noticed a few flashes of panic and jealousy in the eyes of some of the young women who were taking care of her, but she still withdrew after Tuci's words.
It seems the person who hosted her was of quite high status.
Qingyin thought to herself, and sat down lazily as if she had no bones, after Yuqin had cleaned up, and even put a blanket on the chair.
Tutz's lips twitched as he watched.
It has to be said that Princess Zhaoyang knew how to enjoy life much better than these people.
"Now that the princess has settled in, I shall take my leave."
Let's go.
The last thing Toots saw was a young palace maid holding a plate of fresh fruit and bringing it to the princess's lips; the fruit looked so sweet.
...
After entertaining the princess and returning to the Khan's side, Tutsch suddenly realized that spending half a day with the princess was more exhausting than spending several days working for the Khan.
Seeing the familiar, sweaty man pushing the cart to handle official business, Tutz finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hertz was completely baffled.
He asked, "How is that princess?"
Recalling the last scene, Princess Zhaoyang's lazy appearance, Tutz paused for a second and said, "Princess Zhaoyang was extremely accustomed to the grasslands and quickly adapted to life there."
