When they arrived, Helian Lingfeng was not in the royal court, and it was the Queen Mother who received them.
"Meet the Toffee."
"Quickly stop being polite, quickly stop being polite."
The toffee was a woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. She was tall and strong, with wheat-colored skin and a firm and intelligent look in her eyes.
She is worthy of being the woman who conquered half of Mobei together with the former King of Mobei.
The eldest brother stood up and said, "We are here to bring tribute to the royal court and to thank the king for saving my sister some time ago."
"Yes, the king left in a hurry last time, and we didn't even have time to toast him a glass of wine." The third brother continued.
The main reason was that he misunderstood the king at that time, and he felt very embarrassed.
"Oh?" The princess sat up straight. "You saved your sister?"
She looked at Tu Qingyu, "I guess this must be the youngest daughter of the Sijie clan leader?"
Tu Qingyu placed his hand on his chest and said, "Yes, Concubine."
Fortunately, the etiquette in the desert is not like that in the Central Plains, where people have to kneel at every turn. Otherwise, she would have to speed up.
The concubine looked her up and down. She was so beautiful, not at all like a child of the desert.
He just looks too thin and his complexion is also average.
But it doesn't matter. She should also be on the list of candidates. As the daughter of the Naiman chief, it is enough for her to be a concubine.
She stood up and pulled Tu Qingyu over, saying kindly, "How is your mother doing recently?"
"Mother is fine, thank you for your concern."
"It's been several years since I last saw your mother." The concubine looked a little nostalgic. "The last time we met was in..."
Here she paused again.
She looked at the others and said, "Forget it. These are all old stories. It's better not to talk about them."
"I'll have someone take you down there and settle you down. Once you're settled in, go take a look around. It's not easy for you to come here, so why not have some fun here before going back?"
They were kept in a separate courtyard outside the royal court, and from here they could walk one street out of the city.
Outside the city is an endless desert camp, which is the powerful Mobei military camp.
Outside, to the east is where the Helian royal family lives, and further out are the Helian clan's vassals.
To the west are ordinary people, who live further out because they have to raise cattle and sheep.
Tu Qingyu took a walk around, and then asked his third brother to take him on a horseback ride, through the tents, to experience the boundless grassland scenery.
Not long after they started shopping, the third brother was afraid that she couldn't bear it and insisted on taking her back.
As soon as they returned, they heard that the king had returned, so they took people to ask for an audience.
Helian Lingfeng was wearing a comfortable black round-necked robe. He sat cross-legged and wiped a sharp sword in his hand.
Hearing someone come in, he looked up casually.
At a glance, he saw Tu Qingyu standing behind his two brothers. He was dressed like a man, but he didn't look heroic at all.
If it were someone else, he would definitely say something inappropriate.
But that person was Tu Qingyu, a woman who, even in men's clothing, still looked like a lotus blooming on a snowy mountain.
After coming to his senses, he pretended to put down his legs casually.
He asked someone to take the knife away, and after Brother Sijie led them in the ceremony, he said calmly, "No need for formalities."
Then he looked at Tu Qingyu and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel much better now."
"That's good."
After saying that, he stopped there, not knowing what to say next.
It was Brother Sijie who spoke up and broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.
The two seemed to be interacting with each other, but in Tu Qingyu's eyes, it was more like subordinates and superiors reporting on their work.
After they finished talking and expressed their gratitude, Brother Sijie took them away.
Helian Lingfeng looked at the petite figure and once again felt that his mother's suggestion of choosing a concubine was a very good idea.
At noon on the second day, Tu Qingyu found the location given by Dabao and found the hill not far from the king's tent.
As soon as he walked over, he saw Helian Lingfeng calmly raising his knife, and with a flick of his hand, he chopped off a man's head.
The head rolled down the hillside and landed right at Tu Qingyu's feet.
His gaze followed, and before he could hide the anger in his eyes, he saw the little girl's face full of fear.
That handsome little face turned pale as paper in an instant, his lips were trembling, and his hands were tightly clutching his clothes.
It was obvious that he was scared, and very scared.
He hurried over, but unfortunately he forgot that he was holding a knife in his hand. Seeing his aggressive look, Tu Qingyu couldn't help but take a step back.
Because his legs were weak, he fell to the ground.
Her voice trembled, "I, I didn't see anything..."
Helian Lingfeng stood in front of her and said in a deep voice, "It's okay if they saw it. They're just a few spies."
It's just that the last one had a higher status, and he just wanted to let his knife drink some blood, so he did it himself.
I didn't expect it would scare the little girl.
But he had clearly ordered people not to get close, so how did this little girl get here?
He didn't know how to comfort the little girl at all. He opened and closed his mouth but couldn't utter a single nice word.
He could only bend down and hold out his hand, "Come, I will take you back."
But the moment he stretched out his hand, the little girl stepped back again.
This was obviously because she was afraid of him, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his mind.
I don't know if he was upset that he scared someone or that this person couldn't stand being scared.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, and he suddenly leaned over and picked the person up horizontally.
"ah--!"
Tu Qingyu jumped out of her body in shock, but Helian Lingfeng weighed her and asked, "Why are you so light?"
I discovered last time that the little girl is too thin. She needs to be well fed after she gets married.
However, if she is so afraid of me now, would she be willing to marry me?
Then she thought again, whether she was willing or not, she was here to choose a concubine.
When you see her at the concubine selection ceremony, will you be willing to let her go?
After all, after all these years, this is the only one that makes me feel slightly satisfied.
Tu Qingyu pursed her pale lips and didn't respond to him, but in her heart she was very satisfied with the strong muscles she felt.
Helian Lingfeng is taller than the previous ones, about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has muscles but his body shape doesn't make him overly developed.
It is more restrained than the double-door refrigerators seen in modern cartoons.
This is just right, it's the range she likes.
Helian Lingfeng originally wanted to carry the person back all the way, since it wasn't very far anyway.
But then he thought again, forget it. Even in the desert, if a man hugs a woman, the woman's reputation will be ruined.
Someone was sent to call a carriage to send the person back.
That night after returning home, Tu Qingyu developed a high fever.
He was reading official documents when he heard the news, and his hand was shaking as he wrote.
Are you so scared?
