ATBLM [QT] Chapter 160.2

Before Urhan took her to the royal tent, the dowry maid who was accompanying her to the palace also entered the Royal Court behind her, while the escorting General Li and others stayed outside the tent area. They needed to camp there, and when the wedding was over in three days, they would leave and return to Jokhang.

Urhan got off his horse and stretched out his hand to her.

Jiang Rui stretched out her hand to reach it, but she did not take advantage of it, relying on her own strength to leap off the horse.

After stepping on the ground, she was about to withdraw her hand but was held by Urhan. He smiled and said: “The tribe likes you very much.”

Jiang Rui turned around, but the crowd of onlookers had not dispersed. They were crowded around the royal tent. If there were no soldiers to stop them, they might still have crowded over.

Everywhere she looked, there was a small commotion. She noticed that a child was looking at her particularly eagerly. Among the children who first spotted them earlier, he was the fastest one.

Those round black grape-like eyes were really irresistible, and she nodded gently to him.

The child’s eyes widened even more, and then he jumped up in surprise and joy. Because he was so excited, he was mumbling something that could not be heard clearly.

Because of her move, the noise in the crowd became even louder, and the soldiers were almost unable to stop them.

Only then did Urhan take action. He raised his hand, and the noise immediately disappeared. Everyone listened intently to his instructions.

He said: “My Yanshi has worked hard all the way and needs to rest. The celebration will be held in three days, and everyone can participate.”

The crowd was silent for a moment and then let out an increasingly deafening cheer.

Urhan looked at Jiang Rui again, and the corners of his lips raised, “Please go to the big tent to rest first.”

Jiang Rui nodded slightly. A girl from the Di tribe stepped forward to lead the way, followed closely by Qiuhua and others.

In the eyes of the Di people, the Yanshi’s tent was second only to the royal tent in its gorgeousness, but for palace maids like Qiuhua, who were used to the luxury of the Jokhang Palace, it was more than a grievance for their princess to live in such a small tent.

They immediately forgot about being nervous and scared outside and started setting up the tent.

How could the bed be covered with wool? Rough wool would hurt the Princess’s skin, so it should be replaced with the smoothest silk and satin, and it must be spread in several layers.

Why hang a wolf-headed skull on the wall? Don’t scare the Princess, replace it with a multi-treasure shelf, put a blue and white porcelain vase, a jasper square bucket, a pastel eight-treasure cup…

How could the Princess drink freshly squeezed goat’s milk? It didn’t matter if Beidi people were used to drinking it. The Princess had a delicate stomach, and she would suffer from diarrhea after drinking it, and the taste was fishy. Therefore, they had to boil it on the stove and add a few almonds and jasmine to remove the odor.

…

Jiang Rui didn’t need to do anything or give orders. She just had to sit aside and wait for Qiuhua and others to arrange the arrangements before moving her seat.

Of course, someone reported the movement here to Urhan. Aguda couldn’t help but mutter: “Although the Yanshi is noble, it is too delicate.”

Thinking back to last autumn, Wu Lan wanted silk and satin from Jokhang. He had to save up the furs for half a month before exchanging them with a merchant for a small piece. Looking at the things Yanshi used to make her bed, Aguda trembled with lingering fear. Could they afford this Yanshi?

But Urhan sat on the throne, held his forehead, and muttered to himself: “In a wolf group, if a male wolf wants to win the favor of a female wolf, he must offer the freshest and most delicious prey. The more beautiful and strong the female wolf is, the prouder she will be and will never give in.”

When Aguda heard this, he trembled again and moved a few steps toward the door. He forgot that their Great Khan grew up among wolves, so his brain was different from that of ordinary people.
