Everyone's expressions were different, but they were all shocked.
Nahan Oren's words in public were equivalent to nailing Sagle to the pillar of shame.
Anyone who still has the idea of letting him inherit the Khan throne in the future would never say this. Otherwise, if he reuses Sagel again, Nahan Oren would be slapping himself in the face!
The joy on the faces of the eldest prince and the second prince was almost overflowing, especially the second prince, whose gloomy face turned red, and anyone could see how excited he was.
Did no one really think her child was the biggest contender for the Khanship? They treated her defeated general, Sager, like a towering tree that would fall overnight, while no one cared about the truly thriving saplings.
However, once Sagle fell, she would indeed become a target. It would be better to let the first and third Yanshi fight each other, so that the two of them would be overwhelmed and she would have some more time to relax.
Bai Yuzhi hasn't figured out how to mediate the conflict between the two parties yet, but the current situation seems difficult for them not to confront each other. On the other hand, the Fourth Yanshi was concentrating on feeding the Third Prince. The eight-year-old boy didn't eat by himself, which made Bai Yuzhi frown.
Well, just spoil her if you want. It’s none of her business anyway. Just don’t cause trouble.
The only people who were truly happy at the banquet were probably Nahan Oren and Bai Yuzhi. The others were making all kinds of calculations and inquiries, and finally when the banquet was over, Da Yanshi stopped Nahan Oren.
Bai Yuzhi waited aside.
This way, she would give in to Da Yanshi less and less. Once her child was born, the position of Queen Consort would be set in stone. Thinking that this proud and arrogant woman who pretended to be easy-going was going to pay her respects, Bai Yuzhi felt inexplicably happy.
The eldest prince is more than one year older than Bai Yuzhi. It would be a miracle if Da Yanshi would be willing to let her be the queen.
Da Yanshi said to Nahan Oren, "Great Khan, you used to be with your ninth sister, but now that she is pregnant, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you. Is there anywhere else for you to go?"
It was obvious that this was a tactful invitation, and it was rare for Da Yanshi to show weakness.
Bai Yuzhi thought that she was probably doing this for the eldest prince, and wanted to take advantage of today to test Nahan Olun's intentions.
But Bai Yuzhi didn't want to give her this opportunity.
She found out everything, including how to deal with the white jade. It would be best to let these people fight each other in the fog. After she gave birth to the child, she would naturally have the initiative.
So when Nahan Olun looked at her, Bai Yuzhi deliberately frowned slightly and acted as if she was not feeling well. Nahan Olun could not bear to see her feel uncomfortable, so he left Da Yanshi behind and strode towards Bai Yuzhi.
"What happened? Wasn't the banquet going well just now?"
Bai Yuzhi shook her head and said, "Great Khan, I am fine. Please discuss important matters with Da Yanshi first. Don't let me delay any important matters."
Nahan Olun couldn't stand this kind of pretending to be strong even when he was clearly in pain. Whenever Bai Yuzhi acted like this, he almost surrendered. Not to mention that Bai Yuzhi was pregnant with a precious baby, who was even more precious to Nahan Olun.
"What business is more important than you and the child?" Nahan Oren scolded, then waved his hand impatiently at Da Yanshi: "I didn't intend to do anything anyway. Da Yanshi is worrying too much. Go back by yourself."
After saying this, he went to his own tent with Bai Yuzhi.
After Bai Yuzhi fell off her horse, she rested in his tent for two days. She accidentally mentioned that the Khan's tent was much more comfortable than hers, so Nahan Oren agreed that Bai Yuzhi did not need to move out and planned to let her live in his tent until she gave birth.
Bai Yuzhi naturally would not refuse such a good thing.
The two of them left together, and the rest of the Yanshi looked at each other, none of them looking happy.
They thought that since Bai Yuzhi was pregnant and could not serve them, Nahan Olun would have the opportunity to come to their tent. However, they did not expect that even if Bai Yuzhi could not serve them, she could still hook Nahan Olun firmly and not give them any chance at all!
Finally, Si Yanshi couldn't help herself and whispered, "Fox Charm!"
Da Yanshi stood where she was talking to Nahan Oren without moving an inch.
After everyone else had left, Da Yanshi was still standing there quietly, looking in the direction of Nahan Oren's tent with a deep gaze.
The eldest prince couldn't bear to see his mother like this, so he stepped forward and said, "Mother, the wind is strong outside, you should go back too."
He was still indignant: "Jiu Yanshi is so rampant now, isn't it because she relies on the child in her belly? Don't worry, mother, now that Sager is disliked by my father, I will definitely replace him!"
When he ascends the throne of Khan, not only a mere white jade, but even the entire grassland will have to obey his orders!
The eldest prince was caught up in his own fanatical fantasy and even began to imagine how glorious it would be when he became the Khan.
When Da Yanshi came to her senses, she saw that her son looked absent-minded and felt helpless. Although her son was not stupid, he was still too inexperienced in the art of politics. Why didn't he inherit her caution?
"First Prince, remember, your enemy isn't Lady Jiuyan, nor is it the child in her belly. What you need to do now is to suppress the Second Prince in front of the Great Khan. Do you understand?"
The second prince is the only grown-up son of Nahan Oren besides the eldest prince. Now that Sager has fallen, only the second prince can rival the eldest prince. As for the child in Bai Yuzhi's belly, by the time he grows up, Nahan Oren may have already chosen someone else as his heir.
Da Yanshi subconsciously overlooked a possibility. She never thought that Bai Yuzhi would give birth to a baby with no health problems at all, and then become the heir recognized by Nahan Oren with such innate advantages.
It's not that she's stupid, it's just a terrible habit.
She may have worried when the third, fourth and seventh Yanshi gave birth, but after each worry was in vain, she naturally developed an inertial cognition.
That means Nahan Oren will no longer have healthy offspring.
In fact, it cannot be blamed on her lack of consideration, because she is not the only one who thinks so. In addition to the persistent ancestors, even heroes like Nahan Oren have been disappointed too many times and dare not try again. It is not unreasonable for Da Yanshi to be "self-righteous".
The Third Lady also thought so when she educated the Second Prince after she retired, telling him not to worry about anything else and just compete with the First Prince.
This perception was deeply ingrained in their minds, and coupled with the thorough and strict protection of Nahan Oren and their ancestors, Bai Yuzhi spent more than two months of leisurely days while pregnant without any setbacks. The baby in her belly was already more than four months old, almost five months old.
During this period, there were constant conflicts between the eldest prince and the second prince, and the relationship between the eldest and third Yanshi became increasingly delicate. Instead, Bai Yuzhi, who should have been their biggest enemy, got a chance to relax.
This can be considered as a case of the fisherman benefiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.
It was not until this day of winter solstice that the arrival of the first snow made the gears of fate start turning again.
