"Her name is Ling Ruo." Galdan stroked her smooth cheek and said warmly: "It's rare for Lu Hu to be so thoughtful, but this kind of thing will be avoided in the future, and she probably won't be your sister, so you can rest assured."
Green Lake looked puzzled and said: "I don't understand what King Khan means."
"You will understand later. Okay, you go out first. I have a few words to say to her alone. I will come to see you after I understand." Galdan's words made Lu Hu unhappy. She had been looking forward to it for so many days.
I finally looked forward to Galdan's return, but Galdan had to accompany this eccentric woman.
Although he was unhappy, Lu Hu still said obediently: "Yes, I will retire. King Khan is tired from the journey and should rest early."
After exiting the felt tent, Lu Hu's face darkened and he said to the maid beside him: "Go and ask those people who went out with King Khan to see if they can figure out the origin of that woman. I always feel that that woman is not simple.
, especially King Khan’s attitude towards her. By the way, do the Queen and others know about this woman?”
The maid nodded and said: "King Khan brought such a woman back all the way, why do the queens and others not know why? It's just that they haven't taken any action for some reason."
Green Lake raised a cold smile and said: "Let them go, the most important thing now is to find out the identity of the woman."
After Green Lake left, Galdan sent Ping'er out as well. Only he and Ling Ruo were left in the tent before he said, "How about this? Is this place still to your liking?"
Ling Ruo stared at him and said, "You brought me to a foreign land and asked me if I am what I want. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Galdan sat opposite Ling Ruo, casually took an empty tea cup and played with it: "But at least I saved your life and gave you a place to stay. For this reason alone, you should thank me.
, instead of being picky. Do you think it is, Concubine Xi?"
Ling Ruo didn't want to say anything else to him. No matter what, Galdan would never let her go back. "You said you would let me see Han Yan. Where is she now?"
The smile at the corner of Galdan's mouth froze, and then he said calmly: "It's getting late now. I will take you to see her tomorrow morning." With that said, he put down the tea cup and said: "You should have done it earlier.
Rest, the king will ask the doctor to check your pulse tomorrow so that your mother and son can be safe."
Faced with Galdan's ill intentions, Ling Ruo turned away and refused to pay attention. However, at this time, there was a soft rumbling in his belly, which made Galdan stop his intention to leave and said in surprise: "
This king asked Batu to take care of you, didn’t he bring you food?”
Ling Ruo pointed to the plate beside him angrily and said, "He did bring it, but it's all meat. How can I eat it?"
Looking at the plates of meat, Galdan slapped his head and chuckled: "I was negligent. You are from the Qing Dynasty and are not used to eating meat like this. I saw you order it in the inn before.
The dishes are all vegetarian, and there is nothing fishy about them. If so, I will have someone prepare another one for you." As he said this, he clapped his hands, and a middle-aged servant woman came in and said respectfully: "What are your orders, King Khan?"
"Go and prepare some rice for Madam. Remember, the food must be of essential ingredients and must not contain meat." Galdan's words caused a flash of surprise in the servant woman's eyes, but she didn't say much as she took the order and left.
After the servant girl left, Galdan sat down again. Facing Ling Ruo's puzzled gaze, he said: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten anything either, so I might as well just finish it at your place before leaving. Isn't it possible that I can't even do this?"
Right, Concubine Xi?"
"Everything belongs to King Khan, so what's not allowed?" After saying this, Ling Ruo hesitated and said: "I know King Khan will not let me go, but there is one thing I hope.
King Khan can agree."
Galdan did not agree immediately, only said: "Please tell me and listen."
Faced with Galdan's caution, Ling Ruo said in a deep voice: "I'd like to ask King Khan not to call me "Empress Xi". From the moment I came back from the dead, I was no longer the Empress of the Forbidden City.
, naturally I can’t deserve this title." Every time he hears these words, Ling Ruo will think of the pot of poisonous wine given by Yinzhen himself, and the despair he felt when he drank the poisonous wine, that feeling,
She never wanted to remember it again in her life.
Hearing such a request, Galdan had no reason not to agree. He nodded and said: "Okay, I will agree to it. From now on, you can be my wife with peace of mind." The last sentence had an obvious meaning.
It's meant to be a joke.
While he was talking, the maid had already brought the food, a large bowl of white rice and a plate of green vegetables and winter bamboo shoots. It was so simple that you couldn't tell that it was the rice and vegetables prepared by the Khan.
The maid was very attentive and prepared two empty bowls and chopsticks. Galdan personally served a bowl of rice to Ling Ruo and said: "This place is no better than your Central Plains. There is no arable land, so there are very few white rice and vegetables. How about you give it to Ling Ruo?"
Just eat it, and the king will see if there is anything fresher in a few days."
Ling Ruo heard this and said rather strangely: "Isn't there a mutual trade? You can exchange cattle and horses for rice, noodles and vegetables with the Qing Dynasty."
Galdan's face turned cold and he said coldly: "Since the battle above, that despicable Yongzheng has ordered people to close the exchange market, making it impossible for us to exchange what we need normally, and the supplies are much less than before."
Although he and Yinzhen had already broken up with each other, when he heard what Galdan said, he still couldn't help but said: "You were the one who made the mistake in this matter. How can you say that the emperor is despicable? You clearly said that you will get married, but you are still talking about it."
When you married far away, you broke your promise and suddenly sent troops to attack the Qing Dynasty. The emperor closed the mutual market, which was also a punishment for your betrayal."
Her words made Galdan feel angry, but he suppressed it immediately and said with a smile: "It seems that Madam still has a deep love for Yongzheng and cannot bear to hear others say anything wrong about him."
Ling Ruo turned away somewhat uncomfortably and said, "I didn't, I was just discussing things."
Galdan smiled and fiddled with the grains of rice in the bowl and said: "I was negligent in that battle. I didn't expect Yong Zheng to be able to mobilize such a force in his haste and put down the Guo Luoke Rebellion in time.
Let him have time to concentrate his forces to deal with me. But it doesn't matter, Quan should teach you a lesson, and next time we fight, I will never lose again." At the end, he gave Ling Ruo a deep look, meaning
it goes without saying.
Ling Ruo lowered her head, not looking at that handsome face that made her extremely disgusted. In this silent silence, the two of them each ate rice from their bowls.
After the bowl of rice was bottomed, Galdan wiped his mouth and said: "My wife must be tired after running all the way. If you rest early, I won't disturb my wife."
After leaving the felt tent, Galdan called the maid who was guarding outside and said: "Madam, she can't eat meat recently and is not used to our food here, so she has three meals a day, porridge in the morning, rice in the afternoon and evening, and then
Pair it with some vegetarian dishes and change the dishes to make Madam eat more, you know?"
