What on earth was the reason that Nahan Oren, who clearly wanted a child deep down in his heart, would order his servants to bring contraceptive soup to the woman serving him in bed?
Is it because Bai Yuzhi is from the Central Plains?
Bai Yuzhi felt that Nahan Oren was definitely not such a mediocre person who judged his bloodline and offspring based on his national bloodline. There must be some inside story that she didn't know.
But the bowl of contraceptive soup was right in front of him. If Bai Yuzhi didn't drink it, he would have to persuade Nahan Olun.
"Great Khan, why do you want me to use this contraceptive soup? Is it because Your Majesty doesn't want a child with Central Plains bloodline..."
Bai Yuzhi's sad look made Nahan Olun feel uncomfortable.
For a tough guy like him who grew up on the grassland, showing weakness appropriately would make him sympathize with him. In modern terms, he likes to have some tea.
"It's not that I'm trying to embarrass you, nor is it because of your Central Plains bloodline," Nahan Orun said, a strange glint in his eyes. "What Central Plains? In my lifetime, I will conquer the Great Chu and make the whole world submit to me. By then, no matter what bloodline you have, you will all be subjects of the Great Jin."
It turns out it’s not because of this.
"Why did the Khan..." Bai Yuzhi hesitated to speak.
"You don't need to ask any more questions. Not only you, but all the other wives of this Khan will drink this medicine. Just drink it."
It seems that this contraceptive soup must be drunk. Nahan Olun's persistence in this matter far exceeded Bai Yuzhi's expectations.
This mere bowl of contraceptive soup will certainly not have any effect on Bai Yuzhi's pregnancy. Once the props produced by the system are released, there is no place for other medicines to be effective. As long as Bai Yuzhi wants, drinking ten bowls of contraceptive soup will not delay her pregnancy.
But now it seems that if she doesn't figure out the whole story, she really can't rush into pregnancy, otherwise it's hard to say whether the birth of the child will be a blessing or a curse.
Bai Yuzhi took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp, but she made a sad expression on her face, causing Nahan Oren to hug her and whisper to her, "Although I am not a woman, I have children myself, so I naturally know that childbirth is not easy for women. You are so petite, so it must be even more difficult. Why bother being sad about this?"
He said so, but his expression said otherwise.
Bai Yuzhi saw that he had a frown on his face and looked gloomy, so he knew that he must have said this to comfort himself, and that he probably really wanted a child.
"Great Khan, how could I not know the hardships involved?" the white jade-like voice softly dispelled some of Nahan Oren's melancholy. "But I married the Great Khan, but I couldn't bear a child of my own. How could I not regret it? My mother once said something that I haven't forgotten for a long time."
Nahan Oren asked, "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. My biological mother was actually just a court dancer. After a night of drinking, His Majesty Emperor Ling of Chu accidentally got me a concubine. However, His Majesty despised my mother's background and didn't even give her a name. After I was born, he didn't even want to give me a name."
At this point, Bai Yuzhi sobbed softly, and in return Nahan Oren shook him gently a few times, as if coaxing a child.
In fact, Bai Yuzhi's body was originally only eighteen years old, and compared to the thirty-six-year-old Nahan Oren, he was indeed a child.
"In the deep palace, my mother and I didn't live a good life. But my mother said that my existence was the best gift to her. It was because of me that she had the courage to continue her life."
"Therefore," Bai Yuzhi said, a little embarrassed. She bit her lip lightly and looked directly at Nahan Oren again. "Your Highness, I don't know this, but I have always thought that when I have a husband in the future, I must give birth to a few lovely children to keep me and my husband company."
With Bai Yuzhi's status, she was not qualified to be called Nahan Oren's husband, and even Dayanshi was not qualified.
But Nahan Olun was unable to care about these things at the moment. He was moved by Bai Yuzhi's somewhat naive and beautiful description. His heart seemed to soften suddenly, which made it difficult for Nahan Olun not to be extremely tolerant of Bai Yuzhi.
He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but then he remembered something that made him afraid and did not really open his mouth. Instead, he pushed Bai Yuzhi back onto the bed and covered her with his hot big hand.
"Great Khan...it's almost dawn..."
The white jade whisper was sealed by lips.
"No problem."
...After all this nonsense, the day finally dawned.
After Bai Yuzhi had tidied himself up, the aunt who had come to deliver the contraceptive soup before came in with a complicated expression. She looked Bai Yuzhi up and down for a few breaths, and hesitated several times to speak. After seeing Nahan Olun's terrifying warning eyes, she completely shut up. After a while, she waited for Nahan Olun to walk out of the tent before speaking to Bai Yuzhi.
"Jiuyanshi, the ancestor wants to ask you something, please move."
Bai Yuzhi paused, then smiled and responded softly.
The ancestor was the grandmother of Nahan Oren Khan. Nahan Oren's parents were described in the original novel. His father, the previous Khan, died in battle while attacking Da Chu, and his mother died of a serious illness in winter.
Therefore, the person closest to Nahan Oren in his youth was his grandmother. Correspondingly, when Nahan Oren defeated his elder brother Chaxie Khan and ascended the throne, it was this ancestor who gave him great help.
Therefore, the ancestor's status in the Great Jin Dynasty and in Nahan Oren's heart were absolutely extraordinary.
Bai Yuzhi knew that he would definitely meet this ancestor, but he didn't expect to see him on the first day after serving the emperor.
As far as she knew, there was no rule of morning and evening visits in the Great Jin Dynasty, so the ancestor probably only summoned her alone. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Songli was asked to help put on Dajin's clothes. Bai Yuzhi thought that most old people liked brighter colors, so he specially picked out a sky blue dress from the clothes given by Nahan Oren.
This color is tender and bright, but anyone with darker skin can't handle it at all. But it's different for Baiyuzhi. This color doesn't make her look dark at all when she wears it. Instead, it makes her snow-white skin look even more translucent.
Song Li has completely become her "fan of looks". Whether she understands or not, she can't help but admire Bai Yuzhi's beauty. Bai Yuzhi quite likes this little girl. She is efficient, smart and sweet-mouthed.
When Bai Yuzhi took Songli to the ancestor's tent, she discovered that the ancestor's residence was not far from her. She didn't have to worry about riding a horse, and they would arrive in a short walk.
The aunt led the way outside the big tent and gestured to Bai Yuzhi to wait here for a while while she went in to report. Bai Yuzhi naturally had no objection.
After waiting for about half a minute, an old but very energetic voice came from inside.
"Old Nine, come in."
