Ever since Da Yanshi presented Lianxin wine to Nahan Oren at the wedding ceremony, no one has done so for many years. Even the domineering Si Yanshi tacitly agreed. Everyone abides by one rule, that is, Lianxin wine is a special rule belonging to Da Yanshi.
But now, Bai Yuzhi, a woman from the Central Plains, has actually touched the bottom line of this rule.
This shocked everyone, but everyone was also watching, wanting to see what Nahan Oren's attitude was towards this matter.
Especially the ladies in the audience, they all clenched the beads in their hands, hoping that Nahan Oren would immediately and harshly reject Bai Yuzhi.
But Nahan Olun didn't do that. Instead, he didn't react aggressively, but looked a little surprised: "How did you know about Lianxin wine?"
Bai Yuzhi smiled lightly, and even the light in the sky seemed to favor her, casting an exceptionally soft light on her: "I asked Songli, and he told me that if you truly admire a man, you can offer him Lianxin wine."
Nahan Oren was very interested: "You mean you admire this Khan?"
"That's right." Her white jade-like cheeks and ears were flushed pink, and she was obviously shy, but she still said these two words in a firm tone.
"Hahahahahaha," Nahan Oren laughed melodiously. He bent down tolerantly. His stature was exceptionally tall, so only in this way could he look the petite woman, whose height only reached his chest, in the eye. "How long have you met this Khan? You're already mentioning admiration like this. Aren't you just pretending?"
It sounded like a joke, but Nahan Oren's eyes clearly revealed a message: he was very dissatisfied with the explanation of Bai Yuzhi.
Or rather, he thought Bai Yuzhi was deceiving him.
It was normal for him to think so. After all, a sober ruler would certainly not easily believe that a woman who was forced to leave her hometown and come to marry would fall in love with him at first sight.
But since Bai Yuzhi dared to say so, he must have thought of an excuse long ago.
Coming from the Central Plains was the fundamental reason why Nahan Oren did not trust her, but it could also be the best reason to gain his trust.
"The Khan doesn't believe me, but have you ever heard of a poem from the Central Plains?"
"oh?"
"Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and earth are united, I will never break off my relationship with you."
As Bai Yuzhi spoke these words, she kept looking directly at Nahan Olun, using her eyes to convey her affection: "Perhaps the people of the Great Jin will not agree with what I say, but I was taught in the Great Chu that if you find a true lover, you will stay together until you grow old."
"For me, at this grand ceremony, at the moment of the wedding, I have completely belonged to the Khan, not only physically, but also emotionally."
All the Jin people who heard Bai Yuzhi's words were shocked.
The people of the grassland are unrestrained. Compared with the strict ethics of the Great Chu, it is normal for a widow to remarry or for a man to marry twice. Therefore, they do not care about the idea that a woman should obey her husband after marriage.
So in their view, the extreme compliance of white jade was extremely incredible.
However, everyone present was a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty. They had all participated in wars with the Chu Dynasty and had some understanding of the situation in the Central Plains. When they recalled what they had seen in the Chu Dynasty before, they knew that what Bai Yuzhi said was indeed the concept of women in the Central Plains.
Nahan Oren was the one who had spent the longest time in Da Chu, so how could he not know that every word Bai Yuzhi said was true?
His skeptical look truly softened.
Nahan Oren was a high and mighty Khan, but he was also a man. No man could remain indifferent when faced with the advances of a beauty like Bai Yuzhi.
It was precisely because he was the Khan of the Great Jin Dynasty that he felt more satisfied with his obedience to the white jade, because the white jade represented not only herself as an unparalleled beauty, but also the Great Chu Dynasty that once suppressed the Great Jin Dynasty.
If he could obtain the white jade-like Lianxin wine, it would indeed be something worth Nahan Oren's excitement.
"In that case," Nahan Oren said with a serious look, "I will accept your wine."
Under the cruel gaze of Da Yanshi and the surprised exclamations of the other Yanshi, Bai Yuzhi gently poked his fingertips, which were white and almost transparent, with the dagger that cut off his hair. A drop of bright red blood fell into the golden wine cup. Nahan Oren stared at Bai Yuzhi's face and drank it all.
The wine glass was empty. Nahan Oren curled his lips, still holding the wine glass in his hand. The great witch wanted to step forward and take it back, but Nahan Oren did not let go.
“Sweet.”
It's not wine, it's blood as white as jade.
At the moment when Bai Yuzhi was off guard, Nahan Olun suddenly came close and observed Bai Yuzhi's face inch by inch. He did not take action like before, but just kept his head down and looked at him, which made Bai Yuzhi's face look like it was burning.
"Why are you silent? Didn't you just express your feelings to me? I've already drunk your Lianxin wine, don't you want anything else?"
What he said sounded like a joke, but Bai Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
She knew what Nahan Oren meant, but this was beyond her plan, or was Nahan Oren still testing her?
Bai Yuzhi, out of caution, pretended not to understand: "The Khan is already my husband, I have nothing to ask for."
Nahan Oren laughed again. He faced the audience and waved his hand, "Today, a woman like her dared to speak her mind and offer wine to the Khan on the altar. Naturally, the Khan will not be inferior to her."
"Bring the dagger!"
The great wizard presented Nahan Olun with a dagger, but it was not made of white jade. He did not stab with the tip of the dagger, but directly cut his index finger. Blood gushed out instantly, and Nahan Olun caught it with the wine glass himself.
When a thin layer of blood had formed on the surface, Nahan Olun filled the cup with wine and handed it to Bai Yuzhi.
"I'll return this wine. It all depends on whether you dare to drink it."
Bai Yuzhi secretly instructed the system to temporarily block her sense of taste, then took the golden cup, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
She was also beautiful when she shed tears. The plump and clear tears accumulated in her eyes, then gathered in the middle of her eyes, and flowed down from the fullest part of the arc, and flowed down her pointed chin, which was particularly pitiful.
At least Nahan Oren felt a sense of pity for the woman, and he wiped away his tears with his rough palm.
"Why are you crying? Are you scared?"
He meant it was because of the blood in the wine, but Bai Yuzhi was just doing it for show, to make the target of her pursuit, who was more attractive than she imagined, fall a little more.
Bai Yuzhi didn't say anything, but her action of drinking it all showed that she was not only not afraid, but also very moved.
In this marriage ceremony that clearly involved three main characters, Princess Chaoyang watched like a wooden man as Bai Yuzhi and Nahan Oren presented each other with Lianxin wine.
Only after the ceremony on the altar was completely over did she lower her head numbly, follow Nahan Oren down the altar, and return to the seat prepared for her.
After Changshengtian witnessed it, the bonfire dinner officially began.
