His gaze was burning, as if he wanted to melt Jiang Jingyu's entire being into his bones.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Jiang Jingyu tilted her ear and avoided his gaze.
The next moment, Huyan Ji put his face close to Jiang Jingyu's ear.
The breath is hot.
"There are no concubines, only Ayu. From the beginning to the end, it was only Ayu herself."
Jiang Jingyu's lips curled up slightly, and Hu Yanji's voice sounded in her ears again.
"My father often drew my mother's eyebrows in the past. I saw it so many times that I learned a little bit from it. Today is my first time trying it."
"Are you satisfied, Ayu?"
Jiang Jingyu felt an itch on her neck, so she raised her hand and pushed Huyan Ji's face away.
Knowing that the man was speaking with double meaning, Jiang Jingyu looked at herself in the mirror seriously.
Looking at the darkened eyebrows, she nodded and said seriously: "Yes, since Khan is good at drawing eyebrows, the task of drawing eyebrows will be handed over to you in the future."
Hu Yanji smiled evilly and leaned close to Jiang Jingyu's ear again.
"I'm not only good at drawing eyebrows, but I'm also good at other things. If you need me, Auntie..."
"Ahem, ahem, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"
Jiang Jingyu was choked by him and pushed his handsome face aside.
Hu Yanji felt even happier when he saw her earlobe, which was so red that it looked like it could bleed.
He put down the stone ink, picked up the cinnabar on the table, and gently tapped it on her forehead to form a flower ornament.
The crimson flower ornament bloomed between her eyebrows like an alluring mandala, adding a touch of charm to her face.
Jiang Jingyu looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied with Hu Yanji's craftsmanship.
Huyan Ji straightened his back and, imitating Lu Wu, stretched his arm in front of Jiang Jingyu.
"Your Highness, please move to the imperial study."
…
Xiongnu, Khan's palace.
The old Khan leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the second prince who was feeding him medicine with his own hands with a look of satisfaction.
"Your Majesty has looked much better these past few days. I believe that as long as you persist in taking the medicine prescribed by the witch doctor, you will be well again soon."
As the second prince spoke, he picked up his handkerchief and wiped the medicine that had flowed from the corner of the old Khan's mouth.
The old Khan looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Qi'er, you are so thoughtful to find a witch doctor to treat your father."
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for the trouble you have caused me. This is all my duty. Your Majesty is bedridden due to illness, and I feel so bad for you. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and I have finally found a witch doctor who can treat your Majesty."
Yuwen Qi looked serious and did not seek credit in front of the old Khan.
"Ah, as one ages, one sees through many things. I have so many sons, but I never thought that in the end, only Qi'er would be willing to stay by my side and take care of me."
The old Khan sighed and lamented.
The Second Prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "My brothers are all busy with their work and can't spare the time to come and visit, but I'm sure they are thinking of Father all the time."
"Hmph, you don't have to speak for them. I think they no longer see me as their father!"
The old Khan was so excited that he suddenly started coughing violently.
"Father, Father, are you okay?"
The second prince hurriedly stroked the old Khan's back. The old Khan's face turned red from coughing. He covered his mouth with one hand and waved at the second prince with the other hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
After a long while, the coughing finally stopped.
The moment the old Khan put down his hand, the second prince's eyes suddenly widened.
"Father, you're coughing up blood. I'm going to call a witch doctor right now!"
The second prince was about to call a witch doctor when the old Khan grabbed his sleeve.
"Qi'er, no need. It's just an old problem. Father knows what's going on."
Stopped by the old Khan, the second prince sat down again.
He handed the old Khan a handkerchief and looked at him with concern: "Father, are you really okay? You're coughing up blood. Why don't you ask a witch doctor to come and take a look?"
Seeing that the second prince was about to stand up again, the old Khan stopped him sternly.
"Sit down! Father has something to tell you!"
Under the old Khan's harsh rebuke, the second prince had no choice but to sit down obediently.
"Father, if you have any instructions, just tell me. Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will do it for you!"
The old Khan smiled. His face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were still clear.
He looked at the second prince intently.
"To achieve great things, it's not enough to rely solely on brains and means; one must also have filial piety. Qi'er clearly possesses all three."
"I have learned your lesson."
The second prince remained calm and listened to the old Khan's speech seriously.
But his slightly clenched fist revealed his nervousness and excitement at the moment.
The old Khan nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I am old and unable to handle government affairs, so I want to put the affairs on hand aside and enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life while I am still alive."
"I'm sure my father will live a long life."
The second prince lowered his eyes to hide his excitement and waited quietly for the old Khan to pass the throne to him.
"So the Khan's position will be..."
Just when the old Khan was about to say who he would pass the throne to, the voice of the third prince suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Father, I have something important to report to you!"
The old Khan frowned unhappily after being interrupted, and the second prince's eyes darkened.
The third prince pushed the door open and went straight to the inner hall.
The old Khan looked at him unhappily and said, "We can discuss it in the morning court tomorrow. I am tired and will leave now."
"Father, this matter cannot be delayed!"
The third prince was determined and did not take the old Khan's words seriously at all.
