He Zhuo only learned later how much effort, spirit stones, and elixirs his master had spent on him over the past three years. He was used up a whole bottle of the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk every month. Which powerful family's scion could afford to be so extravagant? Giving them a bottle a year was considered a sign of being a very favored scion.
"Princess Zhiqin?"
He Zhuo was immersed in the memories of how her master raised her when she heard someone calling her.
Looking up, I saw a tall, slender Mongolian girl standing there. She had a straight nose, long eyelashes, and deep blue eyes. She had fair skin and was a typical girl of mixed Mongolian and Russian descent.
As He Zhuo's personal maid, Bai Xia naturally knew that her master hadn't heard clearly.
After whispering and biting each other's ears for a while, He Zhuo understood. Oh?! The provocation has arrived.
It's been so many years since I've been provoked like this, and He Zhuo has become quite interested.
"I'm a grandmother now, so I won't play with you little girls anymore." But she still had to decline on the surface.
"Princess Zhiqin still looks so young and beautiful. I've heard that she is very gentle and generous, and kind to the younger generation. It's just a dance, which is very common in Mongolia." The girl replied with great respect, if one ignored her arrogant and provocative eyes.
"This..." Even if He Zhuo wanted to ignore the girl's affection for Yin Zhi, it would be difficult for him.
It's clearly Yinzhi's love interest who's trying to sabotage things.
These past two days, He Zhuo has been busy with Xiao Ba's affairs. After that, he met with his two in-laws and then spent all his time being affectionate with his daughter. He hasn't had time to find out when Yin Zhi had acquired such a romantic interest.
Seeing that Yinzhi was looking straight ahead, Xiao Zhenbao and Consort Shumulu were glaring angrily at her.
"Eldest brother, let's have a dance with this little princess, so that we can open our eyes and see how beautiful this pearl of the grassland is."
When Consort Yi spoke, He Zhuo naturally responded respectfully.
"Yes, Consort Yi's mother."
"Empress said that Consort Yi is always cheerful and generous, and seeing her today, she is indeed radiant and beautiful, inspiring admiration." If someone else said this, it might be considered presumptuous and offensive, but a beautiful young girl's sincere praise always brings joy.
"Hehe, I'm already an old woman, unlike you young girls who are in your prime, like a beautiful flower, bringing joy to anyone who sees you. Alright, go change your clothes and let everyone see the beauty of this pearl of the grasslands," Consort Yi said with a smile.
This "Pearl of the Grasslands" was the daughter of the Prince of Khorchin. Her mother was Russian, a great beauty with blue eyes. Mongolian noblewomen were generally tall, and this "Pearl of the Grasslands" inherited her mother's beauty. Being of mixed race, she grew up under the care of the prince's wing and was raised as a legitimate daughter from a young age. She was favored by the Prince of Khorchin from childhood, and gradually her reputation as the "Pearl of the Grasslands" spread.
While the "Pearl of the Grasslands" was changing clothes, He Zhuo inquired and found out that she had clearly taken a liking to Yin Zhi. Judging from the expression of the Prince of Khorchin, he didn't seem to object. Indeed, Yin Zhi was more than ten years older than the Tenth Prince, but they looked no different in age. In fact, Yin Zhi was more dashing and unforgettable at first sight.
Moreover, Yinzhi still has two vacant concubine positions. A prince can have four concubines, but Yinzhi only has two.
She's eyeing the position of Yinzhi's concubine.
This "Pearl of the Grasslands" has come on stage, now dressed in a striking yellow Mongolian costume, which makes her skin appear even whiter. Her figure is graceful and elegant, and her dance moves are quite impressive.
