Eunuch Wu hurried back to the main tent and reported to Emperor Yao that Ning Ziqing was named the princess of the Yijiang tribe by King Qian.
Emperor Yao was shocked after hearing the news, and immediately summoned Shen Beiwang and several northern military generals to ask about the situation in Yebei.
According to them, eight years ago, Prince Qian and his son led troops to eliminate the largest Hongsha tribe in Yebei, and put an end to the long-lasting turmoil in Qianye Kingdom.
After that, Emperor Qianye re-established the declining Yijiang tribe. Since then, all tribes in Yebei have respected the Yijiang tribe.
Shen Beiwang and others also learned today that Jiang Quhan is actually the king of the Yijiang tribe and has the actual power over the entire Yebei.
After hearing this, Emperor Yao was silent for a long time, weighed it again and again, and then ordered Eunuch Wu to give a generous gift to Ning Ziqing to congratulate her on being crowned a princess.
Envoys from various countries also sent gifts to Ning Ziqing to express their congratulations and expressed their willingness to have good relations with the Ijiang people.
Ning Ziqing dealt with them calmly. She behaved well and spoke freely, showing her princess style.
Jiang Quhan stood with his hands behind his back and praised Ning Ziqing appreciatively.
"Look, our Azhao is doing well, she was born to be a princess!"
Ning Ziqing ended the conversation with the envoy of the last country, turned around and said with a proud smile: "Well, who doesn't know how to put on airs?"
Huo Yunjue and others were instantly amused by her words.
Cao Yanyan asked seriously: "Then when we see the little fairy in the future, should we salute her?"
Ning Ziqing just wanted to reply "No" to her.
Su Yanqi hurriedly took over the words: "The third young lady is now a princess of the clan. We still have to respect her identity in front of others. We should not be too casual to avoid being laughed at."
Jiang Quhan agreed: "Although you are close friends to Ning Manman, you should not lose your etiquette in front of everyone. I have sent people to send the memorial to the princess as quickly as possible back to Qianye Kingdom. Soon, your majesty will issue it. The imperial edict will formally grant the title, and when the time comes, officials will be sent to Nanyao Kingdom to personally reward Ning Manman with the title and other matters."
Ning Zijun saluted Jiang Quhan and said gratefully: "What His Royal Highness King Qian has done for Qingqing makes me, a brother, feel ashamed. Your kindness will be remembered by Zijun and will never be forgotten!"
Jiang Quhan raised his hand to signal him to excuse himself: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, he glanced at where the prince and others were standing and told Ning Ziqing: "From now on, if those with ill intentions want to announce your entry into the palace, you can ignore them."
"I will leave some clan members with you."
Ning Ziqing wanted to reject his kindness, so Helian led a dozen maids and guards to the two of them.
"See Asaya!"
They saluted Ning Ziqing respectfully. Jiang Quhan gave them some instructions in the Yijiang language, pointed to the two boys and girls in the lead and introduced them to Ning Ziqing: "They are two, one is named Jiang Qie, and the other is named Jiang Qie." Jiang Fei is a brother and sister who are good at martial arts and know a little Mandarin of Nan Yao Country. Both of them are very curious about the outside world, so let them stay with you to gain knowledge. If you have anything in the future, you can let them pass it on to me. !”
Ning Ziqing no longer refused and accepted.
Jiang Quhan walked over and cordially pulled the old lady up to Ning Ziqing.
"Aunt Huiyi is the oldest person in the Ejiang tribe. She is the only one who has met my grandfather and watched my mother grow up..."
At this point, Jiang Quhan paused, his throat was choked and his eyes were slightly red.
Ning Ziqing suddenly recalled that he once said that he had never seen his mother, and couldn't help but twitch.
She put her hand on the back of Jiang Quhan's hand to calm him down silently.
Jiang Quhan shook his head and smiled, saying that he was fine.
"Aunt Huiyi has never been out of Yijiang in her life. You are our little princess now. Your clothes are also worn by my mother before. Therefore, Aunt Huiyi wants to stay with you and guard you. Until you get married."
"If she wants to go back to Yijiang in the future, I will send her back. If she doesn't want to go back, let her stay in Nanyao Kingdom to take care of herself!"
Ning Ziqing nodded in agreement, held Grandma Hui Yi's hand and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will take good care of Grandma Hui Yi."
Jiang Quhan's expression returned to normal, and then he ordered Helian: "Send a message to the two grandsons of Dongji Island and order them to send a big congratulatory gift to their "Princess Grandma" as soon as possible!"
Helian suppressed a smile and responded.
Ning Ziqing was surprised: "Isn't Dongji Island a vassal island of the Ejiang tribe?"
Jiang Quhan laughed and said: "Exactly, I surrendered to them at that time, and they voluntarily devalued themselves and called themselves "grandsons", so I reluctantly agreed!"
Ning Ziqing's face dropped and she was unhappy: "I don't want to be called "Princess Grandma" for such an old age!"
Huo Yunjue and the others laughed from ear to ear after hearing this.
Jiang Quhan frowned and advised: "Our identity is on hold here. You have to endure it even if you don't want to."
Ning Ziqing had no choice but to accept this title.
At this time, the guards of Qianye Kingdom gathered around the bonfire and began to celebrate with singing and dancing.
They took off their sleeves and tied them around their waists, while singing brisk tunes and performing bold northern dances.
Their dance steps were strong and powerful, and their movements were free and generous. They were like eagles on the grassland, soaring with their wings, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Helian enthusiastically invited everyone to join them.
People gradually gathered around the bonfire and danced to the beat.
A guard shouted to Jiang Quhan: "Young prince, give me one for everyone!"
Everyone cheered in agreement.
Jiang Quhan couldn't refuse the invitation and readily agreed.
"You guys can come and dance together!"
Jiang Quhan led Ning Ziqing and others to the middle of the crowd. He walked lightly, waved his arms, and performed a few simple rough dances that were not only elegant, but also displayed the bold and heroic temperament of a prairie man. To the fullest.
Yaoyao's eyes widened when she saw it.
Huo Yunjue touched her elbow and reminded: "Be careful, your saliva is going to flow out."
Yaoyao looked away and sighed: "Look at how nice his waist is, how soft it is!"
Huo Yunjue frowned slightly and asked her in surprise: "You must have fallen in love with him, right? I can tell you! He is already engaged, so put away your worries."
Yaoyao argued dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what do you mean! I just like to watch these eagle-like handsome men dance. Besides, I am such a lady, how could I fall in love with a man so casually? I have such high standards." .”
She snorted coldly and turned to Su Yanqi: "Are you right, Ah Qi?"
Su Yanqi replied with a serious face: "Lady is not that bad, I only saw the tiger coming down the mountain..."
He pursed his lips and held back the second half of the sentence: He was still a restless tigress.
……
When Ning Ziqing and others heard this, they couldn't hold back their laughter any longer.
Yaoyao was so angry that her face turned red with embarrassment, and she blamed Su Yanqi unconvincingly: "Ah Qi, don't go too far. Am I only allowed to see beautiful girls, but not beautiful men?"
Huo Yunjue laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "Yaoyao, you can see it, but don't be so blatant! If it were Wei Yu and the others, you would have pounced on me and teased me."
Yaoyao's face darkened, she couldn't bear it anymore, and threatened him and Su Yanqi: "If you two make me angry again, be careful that I tell the little beauty all the embarrassing things about you when you were young."
Ning Ziqing suddenly became interested: "What embarrassing thing? Tell me quickly."
Huo Yunjue panicked and quickly grabbed Yaoyao to stop her.
Su Yanqi scolded unhappily: "Yaoyao, you have to be upright and don't expose people's shortcomings."
Yaoyao raised her lips, glared at the two of them angrily, shook off Huo Yunjue's hand and walked closer to watch Jiang Quhan dance.
Jiang Quhan saw that several people were still waiting to move, so he urged them to go over and dance together.
Ning Ziqing took the lead and jumped up imitating Jiang Quhan's movements.
After dancing for a while, Jiang Quhan suddenly stopped and motioned for everyone to hold hands and form a big circle to dance around the bonfire.
At first, people in Nan Yao Kingdom were a little reluctant to let go.
Huo Yunjue and Su Yanqi each took Ning Ziqing's hand and led the way. Ning Zijun also immediately picked up Lin Wanqiao and joined in.
When the others saw this, they were no longer restrained.
Everyone sang and danced happily around the bonfire, and the scene was lively and spectacular.
The princes and others did not participate because of their noble status.
Huo Yunxi stared closely at Ning Zijun and Lin Wanqiao. When he saw them holding hands and dancing intimately, his face became very ugly, and a strong jealousy surged in his heart.
The Lord of Jiarou County noticed something strange about her and whispered: "Sister Princess, I heard that Prince Ning was injured by King Qian in the afternoon martial arts competition, and Miss Lin has been staying in his tent to take care of him. She seems to be in love with Ning Ziqing We are relatively close, and she often goes to Ninghou Mansion on weekdays. Do you think she might have unwanted thoughts about Prince Ning?"
After hearing this, Huo Yunxi gave the Lord Jiarou County a hard look, turned around and left unhappily.
The Lord of Jiarou County looked at her leaving back with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. She felt much better after seeing the humiliation she suffered from Su Yanqi when she saw Huo Yunxi suffering the same pain.
After everyone danced, they gathered together to drink and share roast lamb.
Fang Yu cut up a plate of mutton leg and brought it to Ning Ziqing, who invited Lin Wanqiao to enjoy it together.
Lin Wanqiao didn't seem to look well. She thanked Ning Ziqing and told Ning Ziqing tactfully that she wanted to go back to the camp to rest.
Ning Ziqing persuaded her to stay and asked her what was wrong with concern. Lin Wanqiao bit her lip and refused to answer, insisting on leaving.
Ning Ziqing put down the mutton and planned to accompany her back.
Before leaving, she gave Ning Zijun a wink quietly.
Ning Zijun followed him knowingly.
After the two left the clearing for some distance, they were passing through a dark path.
Ning Ziqing did not have anyone escort her. Knowing that Ning Zijun was following her, she took Lin Wanqiao to a secluded place.
Lin Wanqiao was in a daze and didn't notice that she was going the wrong way.
When she reacted, she found that Ning Ziqing was missing, and the person standing in front of her turned out to be Ning Zijun.
Lin Wanqiao panicked and wanted to escape.
Ning Zijun blocked her way.
"Ms. Lin, I have something to tell you."
Lin Wanqiao resisted: "Your Majesty, you are not following the rules, we..."
Ning Zijun held her shoulders tightly and confessed emotionally: "Ah Qiao, I like you!"
Lin Wanqiao was stunned and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Both of their hearts were beating fast. Lin Wanqiao came to her senses, broke away from Ning Zijun's hand, and tried to calm down.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You and I are about to get engaged to someone else. You can't do this."
Ning Zijun shook his head and denied: "I will not get engaged to anyone else. That day when you heard that my father and others wanted to discuss marriage with me, I refused. I told them that I already had a heart, and I originally wanted to wait. I’ll go to you after I’ve been busy for a while to express my feelings for you.”
Lin Wanqiao still didn't believe it: "It's said outside that you have fallen in love with the Li family's daughter and are discussing marriage. How could you..."
Ning Zijun interrupted her and said urgently: "Ah Qiao, believe me, I have been attracted to you since the first time I saw you. I will never marry anyone else in this life. Do you want to... do you want to... Are you closer to Qingqing?"
Lin Wanqiao was stunned and stared at him at a loss.
Ning Ziqing, who was hiding not far away, stamped her feet anxiously.
"Why does this person get discouraged at the critical moment?"
"What are you doing here sneaking around!"
A voice suddenly sounded in Ning Ziqing's ears, which scared her. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Huo Yunjue, Ning Ziqing glared at him angrily.
"Please keep your voice down, so you don't get discovered."
Ning Ziqing pointed in the direction of Ning Zijun and the others.
Huo Yunjue nodded clearly.
At this time, Su Yanqi and Jiang Quhan also arrived.
They had just finished drinking and didn't see Ning Ziqing, so they hurriedly chased her out.
"So you asked me to invite Miss Lin because of your brother."
Jiang Quhan glanced at the two people over there and suddenly realized.
Ning Ziqing gave them a "hush" gesture, and the three of them immediately fell silent and continued to observe in the dark.
Ning Zijun over there didn't wait for Lin Wanqiao's answer and became very nervous: "Aqiao, do you... don't mean that to me?"
Lin Wanqiao was silent.
Ning Zijun lowered his eyes in despair, his heart aching, and after pondering for a moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "I was the one who was abrupt, and I shouldn't have forced you to question me like this. I just wanted to tell you my admiration for you in person. If you have no affection for me, I will never bother you again!"
He took half a step back and bowed to Lin Wanqiao in despair, apologizing: "Zi Jun has offended a lot just now, please forgive me for Miss Lin. Let's say goodbye... you... must be happy."
Ning Zijun's voice was hoarse and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Lin Wanqiao again.
Ning Ziqing sighed in disappointment: "Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless. My brother, a fool, failed in his first pursuit of a girl."
Jiang Quhan smiled and said, "If it's missing, look again!"
The four of them saw Ning Zijun saying goodbye to Lin Wanqiao and turning to leave. Lin Wanqiao stopped him and asked, "Did you just ask to marry me?"
