The first ray of morning light shines on the grassland in the early morning, the herdsmen sing ancient songs, the bells on the necks of the cattle and sheep jingle, the children play in the tents, and the laughter almost spreads throughout the Royal Court.
Jiang Rui woke up with these many sounds.
Qiuhua heard the movement and took the palace maid inside to wait on her, “Did the Princess sleep well last night?”
Jiang Rui nodded and saw that all of them had black eyes, so she asked, “How are you doing? Is the place where you stay clean?”
“Very good.” Qiuhua smiled, and then she lowered her head to cover up her reddish eyes.
The Beidi people were not rude, but they were new here and slept in a strange tent. The two younger palace maids couldn’t help but cry because of homesickness, which made everyone in the tent feel sad, so they didn’t fall asleep until midnight.
Such thoughts could not be revealed in front of the Princess, lest she also be hurt.
Just after cleaning up, someone brought breakfast. It was the Beidi girl who led the way yesterday. Jiang Rui asked her name, which was Aruna.
Unlike yesterday’s grand dress, she changed into a peach-pink casual dress today. Although it looked much simpler, the fresh color and exquisite material still made Aruna look envious.
She put down her breakfast but was reluctant to go out immediately. She took a few steps back and stood aside, watching Qiuhua and others surrounding Jiang Rui intently.
Jiang Rui noticed it, motioned Qiuhua to take out a small box from the cabinet, and then waved to her.
Aruna stared at her and then came over like a small animal.
Jiang Rui found that her eyes looked familiar, a bit like the little boy yesterday. Looking at their facial features, they were also somewhat similar. They should be siblings.
She asked Qiuhua to hand over the small box.
“What, what is this?” Aruna looked at the small box with curiosity, and she wanted to reach out to pick it up. She stretched it halfway and carried it behind her back, looking at Jiang Rui eagerly.
Jiang Rui said: “It’s a gift for you.”
Aruna’s eyes lit up. She immediately took it and opened it in front of her face.
There were two handmade palace flowers, two embroidered brocade handkerchiefs, a delicate purse, and a belt. They were not expensive, but they happened to be what girls liked. Moreover, these things were much more precious in the grassland than in Jokhang.
Aruna’s whole face brightened. She changed her previous shyness and threw herself in front of Jiang Rui enthusiastically, “Are you really giving it to me? Thank you, Yanshi!”
Qiuhua and others were startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her away. Jiang Rui winked, so they stepped aside.
Aruna said excitedly: “The Yanshi is so good, no wonder Abu said that the Great Khan likes Yanshi very much!”
‘Abu’ refers to a father in the Beidi language.
Jiang Rui said: “Who is your Abu?”
“Abu’s name is Aguda, and he is the third-ranked warrior in the clan!” Aruna simply crossed her legs and sat on the carpet next to Jiang Rui’s legs. “The Great Khan is the first warrior, Ogle is the second, and my Abu is the third. But I heard from Abu that Ogle’s second place was given to him by others, and only the Great Khan’s first place is the real first place!”
Jiang Rui remembered that the envoy said when they came that the former King Khan still had several sons. Not to mention the younger one, the eldest one was called Ogle. If nothing else happened, he should inherit the throne.
However, the current fact was that the former King Khan suddenly died, and suddenly, Urhan became the new king. There must be many secrets involved.
