From the moment these women were sent to the palace, they were already very interested in Lin Chunhuan, the great lady from the Central Plains.
However, Lin Chunhuan has always stayed in his own residence, living his own life behind closed doors. He hardly sees anyone except Arslan, keeping himself very mysterious.
It also makes it difficult for those women to figure out her ways.
Today's enthronement ceremony is her first official appearance.
Everyone knew that Saiyinzan Da Yanshi was a beautiful woman. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still amazed.
It was a kind of beauty that no longer aroused jealousy.
Now tears fell, leaving two shallow tear marks on the tender cheeks. Just standing there, Lin Chunhuan had become a scenery in itself, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Even the women are like this, let alone Arslan, the only man in the room.
"alright."
Finally, Arslan, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and turned his gaze to Zhurige with a frown. "Zhurige, you are the Khatun, and you should be a role model for everyone. How can you act so recklessly now?"
"Sainzan was the Da Yanshi whom my father personally recognized during his lifetime, and she is pregnant. Even if you are the Khatun, you should be considerate and understanding. Why are you still making things difficult for her?"
Ulun Zhurige felt extremely wronged.
She clearly didn't do anything, so why was she being made to make things difficult for Lin Chunhuan?
But before she could speak, Arslan had already looked away and began to confer titles on everyone. The tribal Khan could have two palaces, east and west, with one Khatun, two elder and six younger wives in each palace.
Zhurige was officially canonized, so she was naturally the Eastern Palace Khatun, and there was no doubt that she was the head of the harem.
Originally, even if Lin Chunhuan was pregnant, as a native of Central Plains, being a concubine of the Eastern Palace was already the best she could do. But today, Arslan saw how Zhu Rige was making things difficult for her.
After a moment's silence, he immediately issued an order, "Sainzan has been rewarded for his meritorious service in giving birth to an heir. On the day the child is born, he will be conferred the title of Western Palace Khatun."
Arslan also selected one of the women sent by his subordinates and the gifts sent by other tribes, each of whom was of decent appearance and noble status, to be the two queens.
Enhe had followed him for many years. Although her status was not high, she occupied the position of Da Yanshi of the Western Palace, so she did not disappoint her old friend.
The rest of the people were divided into two halves to become concubines of the two palaces.
Lin Chunhuan and Enhe were naturally happy about this. As for Zhu Rige, she could no longer hear what Arslan said after he said that Lin Chunhuan would be the Queen Mother of the Western Palace.
There was a constant buzzing in my ears and my head was confused.
She had just said that Lin Chunhuan was a lowly bitch, but the other party was already on equal footing with her. She didn't know how Lin Chunhuan should deal with it.
But as the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace, she no longer had any prestige from now on!
"I don't agree!"
Just as Arslan was deciding the title of the last woman, Zhu Rige suddenly yelled, not caring that Lin Chunhuan was a pregnant woman about to give birth. She pointed at her viciously and said, "Khan, look carefully!"
"This woman is from the Central Plains!"
Zhu Rige was breathing heavily, as if trying to calm himself down, but he couldn't do it at all. His hand almost poked Lin Chunhuan's stomach.
In response, Lin Chunhuan just bit her lip, lowered her head slightly, said nothing, and did not react at all. She looked like a soft-hearted kid who was ready to be bullied, and let Zhu Rige yell at her.
"How can a woman from the Central Plains be qualified to be the Khatun of Darnay? The Tatars don't have such a custom. Even the Great Khan would never agree to it!"
This time, Arslan's face became completely gloomy, and his patience with Zhu Rige seemed to have reached its limit.
That seemingly righteous face took on a sinister look. He was furious to the extreme, but a smile appeared on his face. "Zhu Rige, are you questioning my decision?"
"Wrong decisions should be questioned. Just because you're the Khan doesn't mean you can't listen to others. As your wife, I have the responsibility and obligation to point out your mistakes and see you correct them!"
This girl... is so tough!
Lin Chunhuan sighed silently in her heart. To be honest, Ulun Zhurige was not a bad person, and he did not do anything wrong today. If she had to say something wrong, it was because of her repeated guidance.
He challenged Arsalan's authority as the Khan of Darnai over and over again.
She had no intention of harming this woman, but having reached her current position, she would take action no matter who it was. This was the only way forward, and if she didn't sacrifice the blood and bones of others, she might be the one to die.
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips. She knew that she had never been a good person in the true sense. In order to achieve her goals, she would do whatever it took when necessary.
There's no way. I've suffered enough and I can't feel any sympathy for others.
"Khan!"
Before Arslan's anger reached its peak, Lin Chunhuan finally spoke. She wiped away the tears on her face and smiled, "Don't blame me, my sister. My concerns are right. My identity is really..."
"Perhaps, the Khan should reconsider. My suggestion is also for your own good. Please do not be angry with me. As for me and the child in my belly..." Lin Chunhun sniffed with a hint of sadness in her smile, "It's okay."
"As long as there is no rift between you, Khan, and my sister, it doesn't matter what happens to me."
Seeing that every word Lin Chunhuan said was a plea for mercy, and Arslan, who had been glaring at her just now, gradually softened his expression when he looked at her, Zhu Rige finally couldn't help it and grabbed Lin Chunhuan's shoulders, trying to pull her aside.
"don't want!"
Zhu Rige couldn't understand why Lin Chunhuan fell to the ground when he just pulled her shoulder.
The glaring blood dyed the ground red in a short moment. The tense atmosphere just now was washed away by the panic and nothing was left. Zhu Rige was stunned.
Apart from the pungent smell of blood and the scarlet in front of her eyes, she could not see or hear anything. She didn't even notice when Arslan kicked her.
He subconsciously covered his lower abdomen with his hands and huddled in a corner, shivering.
She killed someone?
She killed a child!
Fortunately, Lin Chunhuan was about to give birth, and Arslan had already prepared a witch doctor and a midwife, but they watched as large basins of blood were carried out.
There were also shrill screams coming from the inner room that had not stopped for a long time. Arslan stood in the outer corridor, his hands still covered in blood and still shaking uncontrollably.
That kind of tension is completely different from the feeling of going into battle and killing the enemy.
Giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell. If everything goes well, everyone is happy, but if it is dangerous, there may be two deaths. Standing on the border between sadness and joy, Arslan took a deep breath.
