The Qingning Palace is located on the central axis of the Khan Palace, echoing the Chongzheng Palace. There are high-quality charcoal basins in the palace, and the warmth is mixed with a light fragrance.

The messenger saluted the two flag-dressed women sitting on the kang: "Da Fujin, Fujin, Wu Keshan and little Baylor are coming to Qingning Palace."

As soon as the words finished, the younger Da Yuer was both surprised and delighted, and couldn't help asking in Mongolian: "Really?"

She has uniquely bright and beautiful facial features, and rosy cheeks like goose eggs, like Gesang flowers blooming in the grassland.Dafu Jin Zhezhe, who was sitting beside her, had a fair face, a slightly inferior appearance, and a generous and dignified manner. Seeing her like this, he also looked at her inquiringly.

The man hastily said: "Yes, Da Khan said, Little Baylor and you two haven't seen each other for many years, I'm not in a hurry, you have to talk about your family relationship first."

Da Yuer was taken aback, and showed a faint smile: "Thank you Dahan for your compassion."

Seeing his niece lose her former composure, Zhe Zhe also smiled, and there were two or three fine lines at the end of her eyes.

Not long after, the thick curtain was lifted, and there was the sound of sharp footsteps. A heroic young man dressed in a Mongolian robe and with braids around his ears walked quickly.

The young man folded his arms around his chest, bowed and said, "Wu Keshan of Horqin Baylor pays homage to Da Fujin, pays homage to Fujin!"

Da Yuer stood up excitedly, and looked at his elder brother who was saluting.Wu Keshan's eyes moved slightly, his serious and profound eyes gradually softened, and he couldn't help but change his address: "Aunt, sister."

Zhe Zhe looked at this, then at that, and said happily, "Okay, they are all from my own family, so what's the use of politeness?"

After finishing speaking, he got off the kang himself, and pulled Wu Keshan to sit beside him, "How are you, Abu and Eji? Yu'er misses you, and so does Auntie."

Wu Keshan paused, and acted very obediently, "It's all good. They often think of you, Auntie, and asked me to bring a few pots of kumiss, saying that you can't taste it in the Khan Palace."

Zhezhe became more happy when he heard the words, and the concern of his brother and sister-in-law undoubtedly made people feel at ease.Horqin is her and Yu'er's eternal backing. Wu Keshan's coming to court this time, isn't it to show the attitude of the tribes in Monan to the Great Khan?

Looking at the past few days, the Zalut family and the Shu Fujin who gave birth to their elder brothers no longer dare to hang out in front of her, and they are all extremely respectful.

There was unavoidable friction between actions, and the moment she sat down, she seemed to have stumbled into something. She took a closer look and saw that her nephew was wearing a rather conspicuous accessory on his waist.

The sky-blue fringe, embroidered with willow branches, looks old but clean, and it can be seen that the owner has been caressing and loving for many years.

Zhezhe was amazed, it looked like something from his daughter's house, how could it be on Wu Keshan's body?

The pattern is still somewhat familiar.

Thinking of Dahan's love for willows, her heartstrings twitched slightly, and she couldn't help praising: "This fringe is a bit old, but it is very delicate."

……

The hall suddenly became silent.

Joy was splashed with cold water, Da Yuer's heart sank, she followed the prestige and pursed her lips, as if she couldn't believe it.Wu Keshan followed in silence, met the eyes of the whole room, and gently touched the jewelry.

"Aunt's praise." He smiled, talked about the big and small things that happened to Horqin in recent years, and then asked, "How are you and Yu'er doing in the palace?"

The intention to change the subject is obvious.

Zhe Zhe keenly sensed that something was wrong, so he considerately stopped asking.Everything about Horqin was nostalgic. After listening to it with a smile, she said "Okay, everything is fine", and turned to look at Da Yuer, with a not-so-obvious regret in her eyes.

Married to Shengjing and having no children for a long time, she valued Yu'er's order and insisted on taking her niece into the palace, but she broke up a couple of lovers and caused profuse displeasure. Now it's too late to regret it.

Da Khan has always been indifferent to Yu'er, even indifferent. In this way, when will he have an elder brother with Horqin blood?

After chatting about the daily life, Zhe Zhe said: "Yu'er will go back to Yongfu Palace to rest first, I have something important to mention to your brother."

On weekdays, Da Yuer would definitely ask, but now the joy of seeing her brother was diluted by Sui Luo, coupled with her inexplicable complicated thoughts, she concealed her slight gaffe, turned and left.

After dismissing the rest of the people, Zhezhe looked at Wu Keshan, stopped talking for a long time, and said in a low voice: "After so many years, I only know that the Great Khan has been looking for beauties."

"...It's a Han woman."

Hearing this, Wu Keshan's slightly condensed expression was visibly relaxed.

"Auntie, you're worrying too much." He thought for a while, and said with a smile, "That's just a pastime, how can it compare to Horqin's noble daughter? Even if the sweat finds it, can it still threaten your position?"

Hearing Wu Keshan's disapproving tone, Zhezhe couldn't say anything. Could it be that she wanted to say that profuse sweating is not a pastime for that beauty?

After searching for four years, I searched all over the Monan League and the cities outside the pass. Is the next step going to sneak into the pass and go to the Central Plains?

Forget it, for the past four years, Da Khan rarely set foot in the backyard, let alone spend the night with her.

She really didn't dare to make a big fuss, so the information she inquired about was very little, but it was enough to make people's hearts jump.It happened that Wu Keshan was meeting with him, and Zhezhe felt at ease, and wanted his nephew to help, if he could find a solution, it would be best, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing her pinching the handkerchief, with cloudy eyes, Wu Keshan comforted her in a low voice: "Korqin needs an elder brother, and Da Khan is looking forward to that too."

This is to imply her that the heir of the Great Khan will come from Horqin.

Thinking that he is no longer young and only has two daughters under his knees, Yu'er also gave birth to a princess, Zhe Zhe squeezed his palms and forced a smile, no longer thinking about beauties.

That's right, the top priority is to help Yu'er win the favor of the Great Khan and give birth to a son with golden blood.Hannv is just a toy, so what if you find it?

Even after giving birth to an elder brother, it is absolutely impossible for her humble blood to inherit the position of Khan, so she was too worried.

"Khan, Wu Keshan Baylor is coming to Chongzheng Hall."

"Are the aunts and nephews finished talking?"

"Yes." Enhe said after deliberation, "Da Fujin mentioned the matter of missing people to Lord Belle, and his words were full of resentment."

Huang Taiji smiled lowly, the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Let her go."

Enhe breathed lightly, not daring to think deeply about the hidden meaning of these words, only sighed inwardly, Da Fujin was confused.

As soon as Wu Keshan arrived outside the hall, he was welcomed in by the head of the Khan Palace.

Before the ceremony, Huang Taiji strode forward, his steps were only a few breaths away, his tall and vigorous figure was undoubtedly revealed.He bent down slightly and supported Wu Keshan's elbows. During his movements, the muscles of his arms undulated faintly, sticking thinly to his inner muscles and bones.

"You are a guest from afar, so you don't need to be polite, just sit down."

Although it is better to be younger, Wu Keshan's youthfulness is fully revealed as soon as he meets him, and his momentum has dropped by more than a little.But Huang Taiji was his uncle whom he respected quite a lot. Wu Keshan didn't flinch and fear, and readily agreed. After not seeing him for many years, the aura of Da Khan was even stronger than before.

That was the demeanor of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

Seeing that his face remained unchanged, a smile flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes, "Good boy. I haven't seen him in a few years, he has grown taller and stronger, and he looks more like Batulu."

After chatting a few words about family matters, I asked about Horqin's recent situation, and the movements of various Mongolian tribes since the war with Chahar.Wu Keshan had been prepared for a long time. While speaking, Enhe served hot tea in a white porcelain cup engraved with green willows, and the accompanying Chinese characters looked like a poem.

Wu Keshan didn't know those words, but he knew that the Great Khan advocated Sinology, and even issued an edict this year to force the children of the Baylor minister's family who are eight years old to study, and they still study Manchu and Han courses.

The poems are not enough to attract his attention, but the pattern on the cup is so similar, it is almost the same as the pattern of fringe embroidery!

Everything about Sui Luo was originally hidden in his heart, but today when Zhe Zhe asked about it, he met the porcelain cup in front of him again, there were too many coincidences, it seemed like it was premeditated, and his mind was completely confused.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Huang Taiji still sensed that he was absent-minded, so he couldn't help but stop and ask, his handsome face looked gentle: "Could it be that the tea doesn't suit you?"

Wu Keshan was taken aback, and quickly confessed: "It's nothing, I made Da Khan laugh at it."

He braced himself up, and there were no mistakes in the subsequent questions and answers, except that he didn't look at the teacup in front of him.

As if it is some kind of scourge, untouchable, untouchable.

After Wu Keshan resigned, he asked someone to lead him to settle in the palace.Huang Taiji looked at his retreating back, narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed the cup with his fingertips, and said calmly for a moment: "What did he say and do in Qingning Palace, ask someone to report it in detail."

Enhe has been serving his master for many years, and he has developed a pair of good eyesight. He saw what was wrong with Horqin Baylor, nodded when he heard the words, and summoned his servants to give some instructions.

After about half an hour, the news was compiled into a thin piece of paper and handed over to Huang Taiji's desk.

He took it and looked at it carefully, then raised his eyebrows for a while: "Ornaments?"

"The slaves are far away, and they roughly looked at the whole thing, but they are not sure," Enhe said in a low voice, "the color is sky blue, and the patterns are like willow branches and leaves."

Huang Taiji paused, and slowly put down the tissue paper.

After Enhe finished speaking, he suddenly realized, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the heart disease that had tortured the sweat for many years, and the portrait token of the missing person...

The patterns of tables, chairs and bed curtains in Chongzheng Hall are all willow patterns, and even the tea cups for guests are burnt with green willow patterns.The city of Shengjing is full of willow trees, so why not do what he likes?

All of this changed when Horqin came back four years ago.

Tianqingpei, Horqin, Xiaobeiler, Liuzhi, can this happen by coincidence?

Enhe's cold sweat accumulated more and more, and when his breathing gradually stagnated, Huang Taiji finally said: "Wu Keshan lives in the palace, you know how to do it."

Hearing from the leader that the tribe was saved, the whole Ute came back to life, and the panic atmosphere dissipated.

The clansmen showed smiles on their faces, actively preparing for the gift to Gushri Khan.A single sea orchid pearl is not enough, it is more respectable to bring along gold and silver cattle and sheep.

The tribal warriors stood firmly outside the tent, guarding every inch of it.Hai Lanzhu finally didn't have to struggle to get water, and didn't have to eat cold and hard cakes. Turhun showed mercy and sent mutton and enough hot water to tell her to clean up quickly. If Gushi Khan didn't like it, the tribe would not spare her her.

"Clean and take a bath, she is poor and particular, I don't know which empress in the palace I don't know!" The tribe lit a bonfire, thinking of the spring scenery they saw not long ago, Tull smacked his lips with aftertaste, causing everyone to laugh.The men gathered together and said obscene words from time to time, "Look at her little face..."

Such a beautiful woman, who used to be afraid of giving orders, and was stopped by the leader, they couldn't bear it when they saw that they couldn't eat.It's good now, and I have to give it to the Oirat Ministry again, and I can't even taste it!

Hearing that Gushi Khan likes pure women, the few looked at each other ready to move, and had no choice but to press their reluctance.

Turhun remembered after thinking about it. He was about to ask his wife if she had any old clothes. It would be bad if she froze to death halfway through the gift.

Back to the large tent in the middle, arrogant accusations came towards him: "Why, went to see that bitch? The broom star still wants thick clothes? Fox fur is enough!"

"you--"

"What are you? Can't bear to send the disaster away?!" Tana yelled at him, and suddenly her eyes rolled, and her eyes flickered, "Okay, if you want clothes, I'll help you."

……

Hai Lanzhu swallowed the hot food in small mouthfuls, and suddenly threw two cloth parcels outside the tent.

The red fingertips unfolded the thick clothes, which were dirty and had an unpleasant smell. She looked at them for a while, folded them and put them aside.

Ji Ya was so angry that she was trembling all over, and when the other package revealed her true face, her angry face suddenly turned pale.

It was a wedding dress.

When Gege was 15 years old, she had to follow her to Ute to marry a disgusting man like Turin in the wedding gown that she sewed stitch by stitch, embroidered with gold thread gems secretly collected.Now the precious stones are gone, and the gold thread has been pulled out without a trace, leaving only ugly holes and creases.

Even Zhenghong was cast a layer of darkness.

Tana's sharp voice sounded from across the tent: "Five days later, put on your wedding dress and set off. Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and throw you out!"

Huang Taiji put down the memorial and quietly supported his forehead.The phoenix eyes are closed, and the light and shadow are divided, like a still picture scroll.

After an unknown amount of time, En He hurried in, holding the painting scroll in both hands, looking excited and flustered.

He opened his eyes, and he could hardly hide the fluctuation inside, the red blood streak became more obvious: "Here."

The white paper unfolded slowly, clearly drawing the appearance of the fringe, the style of the ladies of the Han family, and outlining the fine willow leaf pattern.

It didn't take long for Huang Taiji to catch his eyes, his whole body stiffened, and he was completely stunned.

The night four years ago flashed through his mind, the clothes and accessories he had put on for her, the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and he crushed his fingers into powder.
