ATBLM [QT] Chapter 175.1

At night, Urhan held a banquet to welcome the envoy of the Jokhang.

Jiang Rui naturally had to attend. When she appeared in the tent wearing a complicated and gorgeous Yanshi dress, almost everyone felt their eyes light up.

But, no one dared to look at her presumptuously on this occasion. The envoys of Jokhang all saluted, and the officials of the Di tribe bowed their heads.

Urhan stood up from behind the table, took her hand, and led her to him personally.

After sitting down, Jiang Rui said that there was no need to be polite and remained silent after that.

But just sitting there quietly, she was still hard to be ignored. That beautiful but cold and reserved figure always occupied everyone’s attention.

In the past few months, the Di people had become accustomed to their Yanshi’s amazing beauty, but now they were still shocked by her dressed-up appearance. Not to mention the Jokhang people.

After all, as courtiers, they had never had the chance to see Princess Chaoyang before, so they had a surprise and awe hidden in those veiled eyes.

Among the envoys who were not young, the Young Marquis of Weiyuan stood out particularly. Perhaps it was because of his youth or for some other reason, that his eyes were not as good at hiding as others, and his eyes frequently looked up. In addition to being amazed, there was also surprise in his eyes.

The Young Marquis was undoubtedly familiar with Princess Chaoyang. In his impression, Chaoyang was the most gentle woman. Although she was a princess, she was never arrogant or condescending.

This was the reason why he initially targeted her instead of Anyang, and of course, it was also because of her outstanding appearance.

He knew that Chaoyang had him in her heart, and he also liked her, but those feelings could not be compared with the interests and future. Therefore, when the Emperor decided on her marriage, he chose to give up without hesitation.

Chaoyang must be sad, but there was nothing he could do about it, right? That was His Majesty’s decision, who could resist it?

He actually didn’t want to be one of the envoys to Beidi, but Anyang showed her temper and asked the imperial concubine to persuade His Majesty to add him to the list, so he had no choice but to make this trip. Moreover, secretly, he wanted to see how she was doing.

In his imagination, he thought that Chaoyang would be haggard. After all, she liked him so much but had to marry another man.

He also thought that she might have a grudge against him, but she would definitely not be able to bear it for too long.

He even wondered how to deal with Chaoyang if she could not help herself when she saw him and did something rude in public. (T/N: Oh, how narcissistic!)

However, he had not expected the current situation.

He did not expect that Chaoyang would not only not be haggard, but her appearance even more prosperous than before. He had always known that she was beautiful, but he did not know that her beauty could be so dazzling and stunning.

However, from the beginning to the end, she never gave him even a glance.

For some reason, he felt a little disappointed. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

When he looked up again, he unexpectedly met a pair of wolf-like eyes, fierce and cold. The Young Marquis shuddered, looked away as if he had been pricked by a needle, and did not dare to raise his head again.

Urhan sneered disdainfully. He was very aware of how charming his Yanshi was and welcomed others to look at her with stunning admiration, which would make him feel honored.

But if someone had thoughts that they shouldn’t have because of this, then they couldn’t blame him for being rude.

His territory and partner were the only two things in the world that no one could covet.

Obviously, the little pretty boy just now didn’t seem to understand this yet.

He didn’t regard such a coward as an opponent. But, it was the way he looked at his Yanshi that reminded him of the flies buzzing around the barbecue. No one took a fly to heart, but if the time came, slapping it to death was a good option.

With some not-so-decent thoughts passing through his mind, Urhan handed the sliced plate of tender meat to Jiang Rui, “Try this.”

Jiang Rui took a bite and found that the taste was different from the usual barbecue.

Urhan explained: “It was grilled with honey. It seems that some fruits have been added. What do you think?”

“Not bad.” Jiang Rui nodded slightly and ate another small piece of meat.

“Eat more if you like it.” Urhan became interested. He made the phantom move with a dagger, and soon, the second plate of meat was ready.

He didn’t feel that his Yanshi was cold. Anyway, as long as she returned to the tent for a while, she would be enthusiastic about him.

As for outside, he wished that she would raise her little chin up to the sky and let those crazy bees and butterflies know what it was not to be able to climb high.
