    Chapter Index

    The team resumed their journey for ten days and arrived in Wuhuan in mid-May.

    Wuhuan Khan entertained the Chu envoys in the banquet tent, with white cakes, roasted whole sheep, fragrant wine, kumiss, and exotic beauties in gorgeous dance costumes with graceful figures.

    Shen Jie saluted Wuhuan Khan, expressed his respect and intention to come, and took a group of maids and subordinates to sit down at the low table.

    Du Yaoyao was among these maids, wearing Hanfu and covering her face with a veil.

    She was surprised when Shen Jie hired a Han girl on the way. After asking for a long time, he said that Princess Hong’e was the current queen of Wuhuan Kingdom.

    It turned out that he was afraid of meeting his “love rival” and was extremely jealous.Therefore, he hid her among the maidservants to hide her from others.

    Du Yaoyao stood neatly behind Shen Jie and secretly looked at the two people sitting at the head.

    Wuhuan Khan has white eyebrows and dark skin, and the crisscrossing ravines on his face show that he is old enough to be her grandfather.

    Can also be the grandfather of Red Calyx.

    Du Yaoyao glanced at Hongcalyx.The princess who was once as beautiful as a flower has lost a lot of her vitality. Even if she applies thick makeup, she can’t hide the lethargy and fatigue in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

    When Hong Calyx looked at Shen Jie, her slanted eyes were filled with sparkling light, like a dead flower receiving morning dew, and her every frown and smile revealed joy.

    Du Yaoyao couldn’t express what she felt in her heart.She seems to have robbed someone else’s things. The original book Hongcai and Shen Jielang are talented and beautiful, you and I.Now they are getting married, the husband is ruthless and the concubine is Yiyi, especially Honge is marrying a husband who is so many years older than her.

    She tried to match them up, but she couldn’t get on the road and had no intention of accepting Hongcalyx.

    “The envoy from Chu has traveled a long way to Wuhuan, and the journey has been hard.” Hong Cai said, her sharp eyes like a sword, wanting to cut open the veils of the maids to see which one of them was so beautiful that Shen Jie was moved.

    She said critically: “But when meeting the Khan, it would be a bit disrespectful for the accompanying maid not to show her true face.”

    Shen Jie smiled slightly and said, “It’s just an ordinary civilian girl who helps with washing and cooking on the road, and she has a blemish on her face, so she might scare the Khan.”

    He raised his sleeves to make a gesture, and a maid in blue came out and took off her white gauze, revealing a dark red birthmark as big as a cup rim on her right cheek.Immediately afterwards, the second maid followed suit, with a hairy bean-like black mole on her lower chin.

    Wuhuan Khan was used to seeing beautiful women. Now when he saw two ugly and ugly maids, he immediately waved his sleeves and said, “Forget it, Queen, this is a humane act by the envoy and will not be held accountable.”

    The red calyx swept over the five maids. They all had loose robes and no graceful figures.The skin color may be yellow or black, the eyebrows are lowered and the head is lowered, which is ordinary.

    Thinking that Du Yaoyao was not among them, Hongcai felt relieved.

    In fact, Du Yaoyao’s scalp was numb from the sight of Hong Calyx, and she was afraid that she would be recognized even though she was wearing yellow powder and thick eyebrows.

    Shen Jiehe Yanjin communicated with Wuhuan Khan and several princes in the local language, which Du Yaoyao couldn’t quite understand. They probably discussed the princess’ marriage and border trade.

    After the banquet was over, Du Yaoyao followed the maidservants back to the tent arranged by Wuhuan for them.

    Shen Jie ordered cakes, mutton and milk to make dinner for his maid, which made several princes laugh. Master Shen was affectionate and considerate and gentle to the ugly woman.

    A maidservant is supposed to eat the food of the lower class, so how can she eat meat and drink milk?Not to mention being born so dirty.

    Shen Jie felt sorry for Du Yaoyao, who had lost a lot of weight along the way.

    He even regretted taking her around.

    She is so good, even though she has been working hard for nearly a month, she never complains or complains about being tired. She relieves her worries and desires from time to time.

    Shen Jie felt ashamed of his selfishness.

    “Yao Yao, eat some.” Shen Jie scalded the greasy roasted mutton in boiling water, cut it into pieces, and fed it to her with chopsticks.

    Du Yaoyao was sitting by the stove munching on white cakes. This Wuhuan cake was not much different from modern Xinjiang cakes.

    She took a bite of the mutton and said, “It’s a bit bland. Please add more seasoning for me.”

    The roasted lamb had a strong taste, so Shen Jie advised, “You have a bad stomach, so it’s better to eat something lighter.”

    Du Yaoyao pouted, Shen Jie had a straight face, “How about I feed you myself?”

    He feeds himself, using his mouth.Du Yaoyao didn’t want to be so disgusted, so she took a big bite angrily, “Who cares about you!”

    Shen Jie felt a little jealous when he heard this, and deliberately teased: “You don’t care about it, but some people do.”

    Du Yaoyaoming was furious, curled her lips and said angrily: “Seeing your old sweetheart, you are becoming lustful, aren’t you?”

    “What is your old friend…” Before Shen Jie could finish his question, a conversation between the gatekeeper and Wuhuan’s maid came from outside the tent.

    “Master, please rest. Please come back.”

    “Our queen has been to Dachu before and has some friendship with Mr. Shen. When we meet old friends, we send you a small gift. Why don’t you let someone put it into your account?”

    “Really rest!”

    “The light is still on…” the maid shouted, “Master Shen…”

    Du Yaoyao glanced at Shen Jie quickly, put down the food in her hands, pointed to the box in the corner, and mouthed, “I’ll get in, and you’ll deal with it.”

    Shen Jie nodded.

    Two servants came into the tent. The one in front saluted and moved to invite the servant behind.

    The maid took off the hood of her cloak, revealing a rich and charming face.

    It is the red calyx.
