"Xia Ri is five years older than you. Is Xia Ri willing to marry you? Go live with you on the grassland?"

Zhang Xin hasn't been to the compound for a while.

Xia Ri was the first child she adopted and also the eldest one. After Granny Li passed away, Xia Ri was in charge of the compound.

She never expected that Tonobuhua would make such a request.

After the children in the compound grew up, Zhang Xin arranged their marriages, but Xia Ri expressed her unwillingness to marry at that time.

Because her mother was tortured to death by her father, and her father wanted to sell her for money, she ran away from home and lived on the streets.

"I like her. She doesn't mind that I'm younger than her. But Xia Ri said she would only marry him if His Highness asked her to."

The last time Tonobuhua came, he secretly looked for Xia Ri.

But Zhang Xin was not in Beijing at that time.

Xia Ri refused to go with him.

This time, he couldn't wait any longer. At the age of eighteen, the men on the grassland already had several children.

He pushed away many women who were pushed to him by people from the tribe. If he failed to bring Xia Ri back this time, when he returned, many women would probably be stuffed into his tent.

"You want to marry Xia Ri just because you like her?"

Zhang Xin asked again.

"I have to marry a Han woman, otherwise the child I give birth to will be exposed."

Tono doesn't hide anything and tells the truth.

He is half Tatar, and although he does not look like Han Chinese, the children he gives birth to may not look like that. By then, the claim of golden bloodline will easily be untenable. Although everyone knows that it is impossible to have pure golden bloodline, it is hard to say whether he can continue to be supported if the Han part is revealed.

"Then why not choose a Han woman for you? Xia Ri said she doesn't want to get married."

Zhang Xin suggested.

In fact, Xia Ri had only raised the child for a few years before she was able to take over and help take care of the younger children in the compound. After Granny Li died, Xia Ri took over the entire compound.

When Xia Ri said she didn't want to get married, Zhang Xin let her do as she pleased.

No matter why Xia Ri said she agreed, she would get married, she still felt it was inappropriate.

Xia Ri is a pure Han Chinese. Xia Ri is older than Tonobuha. If she goes to the grassland, she will be out of reach and will not be able to take care of her.

"If Xia Ri doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me, then I will ask Your Highness to give me a Khatun, but I still want to marry Xia Ri. Your Highness, please help me ask again. If she is willing to marry me, I will marry a Khatun. I will never have any second thoughts."

Tonobuhua was determined.

"Then I'll ask and get back to you."

Although Zhang Xin disagreed, she still agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tonobuhua immediately smiled happily and started to serve tea to Zhang Xin.

The three of them chatted for a while about the interesting things that Tonobuhua experienced on the grassland, and then Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin left and returned to the palace.

Zhu Gaochi started to laugh as soon as he got on the carriage.

Zhang Xin was inexplicably amused by Zhu Gaochi.

"What are you laughing at!?"

"The child has grown up and started to play tricks on us! If Xia Ri is willing, let Xia Ri marry her."

Zhu Gaochi was very happy to see Tonobuhua's proposal of marriage.

"Why?"

Zhang Xin asked back directly.

Xia Ri is staying in the capital city well, under her protection, why can't he survive? Does he have to get married?

"You're acting on impulse, aren't you?!"

Zhu Gaochi pinched Zhang Xin's face and teased her.

"It's too far for me to protect you. I always feel that his desire to marry you is not that sincere."

Zhang Xin is actually quite contradictory.

According to the standards of the time, Xia Ri would be a Khatun, which was equivalent to the queen, and the only queen. She was definitely a good marriage.

Tonobuhua also said frankly that she liked Xia Ri, but at the same time she also said that if it didn't work out, she would marry someone else.

She felt uncomfortable.

"I think it's very sincere."

Zhu Gaochi quite admired this little guy who didn't look like a little guy.

He was no longer as immature as he was when he had just become the Khan of Tatar and had not yet unified the three tribes.

Now he has grown into a grassland king who is good at playing politics.

He has enough patience.

Eighteen years old is the impulsive age, but he didn't even touch the woman given to him in the three movies. With such perseverance, he can accomplish anything.

He is sharp enough.

Xia Ri belongs to Zhang Xin, and Zhang Xin is the Crown Princess and the future Queen.

Hug the queen's thighs in advance to show your loyalty.

It also solved the problem of his descendants being exposed.

Kill two birds with one stone.

He has a methodical way of doing things.

When he secretly met Xia Ri before, he must have used words like repaying Zhang Xin and serving the country and the people to make Xia Ri waver in her idea of ​​not getting married. Only when he was sure did he dare to mention it to Zhang Xin.

He guessed that when Zhang Xin asked Xia Ri about her opinion, Xia Ri would definitely agree.

"Sincerity!"

Zhang Xin curled her lips.

"A marriage based on reality is more solid than an illusory love. The icing on the cake is that the love is real."

Zhu Gaochi felt that he could understand Tonobuha very well.

Since he was destined to marry a Han woman, he should marry one he liked, which was better than the one Zhu Gaochi arranged for him.

Moreover, this is a marriage between a person from the suzerain state and the king of the vassal state.

They must give Xia Ri an identity.

It’s a good idea to seek benefits for the woman you like.

"Alas. Do you think we might end up raising a tiger that could become a threat?"

Zhang Xin naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Tonobuha's every move.

Therefore, I don’t want to marry Xia Ri to him.

I feel like Xia Ri, the honest kid, can’t beat this brat.

"He's not stupid. If we can send one of him, can't we have a second one?"

Zhu Gaochi was not worried about this.

There is no shortage of smart people on the grassland, but only those who are smart enough can have room for continued cooperation, and Tonobuhua understands this very well.

As long as Xiliaohe and Hetao become enclaves, with Mongolians and Han people living together, the Mongolians will be assimilated very quickly.

It’s not that nomadic people can only live a nomadic life, but because they raise cattle, sheep and horses, they can only live where there is grass.

The Han people had been developing farming for thousands of years. As long as the farmers moved there and passed on their experience, the grassland people who did not have many cattle, sheep and horses would soon realize that they could support themselves even if they settled down to farm.

How could the Tatar Khan possibly get everyone to respond to his call by then?

Throughout history, no matter what ethnic group, they would be assimilated by the Han people. The power of Han culture is infinite.

Tonobuhua grew up in the capital and received a traditional Han education. Although he knew little, he was good at it.

After going out and gaining some experience, he will know better what he can master.

"understood."

Zhang Xin turned her face away and didn't want to talk for the time being.

Some things lose their beauty when they are calculated too clearly.

But aesthetics, as a thing, needs to be calculated clearly in order to be more lasting and stable.

She is such a weird person, just let her be weird for a few days.
