After the banquet began.
Just like the previous palace banquet.
The process is the same.
Ao Zhuo also gave a welcoming speech.
Ye Chen and Ye Qianqian nodded politely.
but.
Ye Qianqian noticed something different.
Those were the women who were in charge.
Many people looked towards Ye Chen.
And many of them blushed.
I never imagined my third brother was so charming!
[This is only our first day on the grassland, and we've already attracted the attention of this woman!]
Wow, that's really unbelievable!
However, my third brother probably won't like you guys; he's here on a mission!
We must find a ruby mine.
Faced with those enthusiastic gazes.
Ye Chen acted as if he hadn't seen anything.
He drank and ate some snacks by himself.
Sai Zhuo said to Ye Qianqian.
"These are my sisters from my tribe, although they are cousins."
"But they are all very good women. I saw that they looked at your third brother with great enthusiasm."
"How about it? Should we have your third brother choose one of the women to be his wife?"
Ye Qianqian shook her head.
"I can't make that decision for you, Third Brother. You have to decide everything yourself."
“If Third Brother doesn’t have this intention, then it’s all in vain.”
Sezhuo nodded.
"That's true!"
After the banquet.
Ye Chen rode his horse to the lakeside.
Watching the moon's reflection fall on the lake.
He frowned.
The shadow kept changing.
He couldn't guarantee whether there were any ruby mines in the lake.
Ye Chen was surrounded by guards sent by Ao Zhuo to protect him.
Ye Chen asked.
Has this lake existed since ancient times?
"Yes, Your Highness, this lake has been here for hundreds of years."
"Has there ever been a major earthquake on the grasslands?"
"Yes, according to records, there have been at least ten major earthquakes, but none of them affected Dazhuo Lake."
"However, I heard that the most severe earthquake seemed to have cracked the earth, separating two mountains that were originally connected. But this is just a legend, and there is no record of it."
Ye Chen didn't ask anything more.
Ye Qianqian was in the palace at this time.
Sai Zhuo took out her jewelry and let Ye Qianqian choose.
"Ye Qianqian, look here, is there any jewelry you like? Take it and wear it."
"Oh? You're going to give it to me?"
"Of course, you are a guest and you saved my life, so of course I have to give you something valuable. This is the most precious thing I have here."
"I'll give them all to you, except for this ruby that looks like a key."
"I'm not that greedy."
Ye Qianqian picked up the ruby that looked like a key.
Is this very precious to you?
"This was left to me by my grandmother, so I can't give it to you."
"Oh!" Ye Qianqian nodded.
"That's certainly very precious, but why is this gem shaped like a key?"
Seido shook his head.
"I don't know either. Anyway, when my grandmother gave it to me, she said it was left to her by her grandmother. But when she gave it to me, her grandmother could no longer speak clearly, so it was passed down to me."
Saying this, Sezhuo hung it around his neck.
Isn't it beautiful?
"Hmm, why don't you wear it more often?"
"Because I was small before, my mother was afraid I would get hurt, but now I'm six years old, and I know how to protect myself properly."
At that very moment.
A woman walked in.
“Sezhuo”.
"Sister, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I want to see Ye Qianqian."
“Okay, she’s right here! Ye Qianqian, this is my cousin, Tao Zhuo.”
"Is there something you need from me?" Ye Qianqian asked.
Tao Zhuo spoke up immediately.
"I like your brother."
Ye Qianqian was startled.
"So direct?"
Sezhuo nodded.
"Yes, women on the grasslands have always been this direct! If they like someone, they just go after them. If they can't win them over, they just let it go. Isn't that how Lan Zhuo is?"
Sezhuo muttered something under his breath.
"Zhou Yanyan just kept pestering me."
Ye Qianqian nodded.
"That's true."
"Looking at it this way, Zhou Yanyan is still a disgrace to the Great Yuan!"
Tao Zhuo asked Ye Qianqian.
"I'd like to know what kind of person your third brother is?"
Ye Qianqian frowned.
Sigh, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you're not my third brother's destined partner!
You two can't be together!
But since you're so enthusiastic, I can't just refuse you directly.
Ye Qianqian then said.
"My third brother is a very brave person."
“This time, he came to the grassland for the ruby mine. He doesn’t care about things like love at all.”
"Even if you were to pursue Third Brother, I'm afraid he wouldn't accept you."
Tao Zhuo said with a smile.
"That's right, he knows what he wants. I admire men who are focused on their careers."
"It's much, much better than those people who live a life of debauchery!"
"This is exactly the kind of man I, Tao Zhuo, like!"
"Forehead!"
Ye Qianqian scratched her head.
You're absolutely right!
