Three days later, the news of the victory at the border reached the palace, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became lively. Even their lunch was rich.
Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan were anxious in their hearts, but their faces remained calm.
Mulan came over in person in the afternoon, with an obvious smile on her face, "We won the battle, the emperor is happy, and the totem conference on the grassland will be held as scheduled."
The Beirong were originally a nomadic tribe. Although they respect the current emperor as their king, the tribes are essentially independent in their own affairs. Therefore, the Beirong king holds a social gathering every year to exchange feelings. Men and women who are in love with each other can take the opportunity to get married.
Concubine Yun is so confident because she comes from the Jiuli tribe, a very powerful and famous tribe.
The King of Beirong also kept suppressing the second prince because his mother's clan was too powerful.
Qumuli said in surprise, "That's great. I thought this year's totem conference wouldn't be held."
"Concubine Yun is going to take the four of you there. Who will succeed depends on the abilities of the girls." Mulan smiled wildly and hinted without saying a word.
As soon as Mulan left, the atmosphere in the room relaxed. Qu Muxing chuckled, "This is a good opportunity."
Whether it is a good opportunity to compete for favor or a good opportunity to kill people depends on each person's understanding.
Shen Xingwan rarely suffered from insomnia at night. The Beirong Army's victory showed that Daqi's side could not hold out for long.
"This time, we can only succeed but not fail." Shen Xingwan said as she sorted out the rouges in the box.
Shen Ruoyan stroked the strands as thin as hair, "Don't worry, we will definitely take his head!"
The next day, King Beirong set out for the grassland with his ministers and concubines.
As one of the four concubines, Concubine Yun would of course also go.
The four of them, Shen Xingwan, shared a carriage and followed Concubine Yun's carriage.
This trip is a good one. Beirong are nomadic people and are good at riding and shooting.
The men, headed by King Beirong, rode ahead and left the women behind to advance slowly on the road.
The convoy traveled for a day and a night before reaching the grassland. Those who arrived first had already set up their tents.
Concubine Yun was of high status and the tent she was assigned was very good.
The four of them were allocated a small room for two people behind Concubine Yun's big tent, and the treatment was pretty good.
After setting up the few things, Shen Xingwan walked out of the tent and took a look. At a glance, he saw an endless grassland.
Compared to the palace with high walls and tight security, this place is of course more suitable for killing people and running away.
Soon Concubine Yun's people came over and one of them gave them a tag, "Put it on. This proves that you are from Concubine Yun's palace. Don't run around if you have nothing to do."
Several people nodded obediently.
It's impossible to bring too many people out, since they don't have any status, so naturally no one will take care of them, so they have to do everything themselves.
The two of them sat down cross-legged casually on the stall, which was quite peaceful.
Shen Ruoyan said worriedly, "I wonder if Mom and the others lurking here have followed."
Once they take action, they will definitely need someone to support them in order to escape smoothly.
"Don't worry about Coach Lin. With her acumen, there will definitely be no problem." Shen Xingwan said calmly, "We need to figure out the terrain and escape route as soon as possible and plan an assassination plan."
The nobles of Beirong like to ride and shoot. They go to the mountains to hunt during the day and have bonfire banquets at night.
Naturally, there was no chance for their identities to be revealed. Fortunately, there was a sign indicating Yunfei Palace, so walking around there was basically no big problem.
The four of them carried the flower basket in tacit understanding and couldn't stop wandering around.
When they were in the palace, Concubine Yun was very strict with them, but when they came out, she ignored them.
That afternoon, Mulan came over and said, "Yu Yan Yu Ning, come with me and bring the piano."
Shen Xingwan hugged Qin and the two of them followed Mulan to the other side. Yulan said, "Concubine Qingtang wants to see you. Be smart and learn from her. After so many years, she is the only one who has to go out in the palace."
.”
Except for the queen and the fourth concubine, all the other concubines of the Beirong Empress were concubines, and there was no clear hierarchy.
The treatment varies according to the degree of favor and the prince and princess under his knees.
Concubine Qingtang is the only girl that Concubine Yun has pushed out over the years. She is the only one who has established herself in the harem, and she is still favored by her now.
I have always been very sincere towards Concubine Yun. Apart from gorgeous jewelry and beautiful clothes, I seem to have no desires or desires.
Moreover, her health was bad and she would not be able to have children soon, so Concubine Yun believed in her.
Shen Xingwan guessed that by letting the two of them go there, he also wanted to ask "seniors" for some pointers.
"Hey, it's Sister Mulan here, come in quickly." A lively palace maid opened the door curtain.
Mulan walked in and said politely, "Little Master, I've brought you here."
The beauty slowly turned around, revealing a face that demonstrated innocence and cuteness to the extreme. Her smile was even more endearing. Shen Xingwan knew why she was favored after just one glance.
Compared with the lively and fragrant beauty, the concubine Qingtang has a lively and flexible beauty. She looks innocent and has a hint of charm, which is very attractive.
Qingtang smiled and said, "Your Majesty's taste in selecting people is as good as ever."
Mulan smiled and said, "I hope the little master will train you more. This is their approval."
After saying a few more words, Mulan said goodbye with a wink.
Qingtang looked at them carefully for a while and waved, "Everyone else, please go down."
The people in the tent immediately retreated, leaving only a confidant guarding the door.
This posture doesn't seem right.
Sure enough, after Qingtang dragged her long gorgeous skirt around them, she said something shocking, "What is the relationship between Yun Niang and you two?"
Shen Xingwan looked confused. Who was this? Why hadn’t she heard of it?
However, Shen Ruoyan on the side didn't react quite right. He glanced at Qingtang in surprise and quickly lowered his head.
Shen Xingwan said cautiously, "Back to you, young master, we don't know this person."
Qingtang was not angry, but instead took out a complicated colorfully woven bunny.
Shen Xingwan's eyes narrowed. She remembered that Shen Ruoyan had a similarly colorful butterfly hanging around her waist.
The color scheme is completely the same as that of the rabbit in Qingtang's hand, and the two objects are clearly made by the same person.
Shen Ruoyan became more and more silent.
Qingtang laughed twice, "What should I do if you two are so cautious? I promised Yun Niang to help you."
"You should go back first and think clearly before coming back." Qingtang did not embarrass them and had people send them back.
Returning to his tent, Shen Ruoyan whispered, "When my mother used to go on missions, she often went by the name Yun Niang. The rabbit in her hand came from my mother's hand."
Unexpected developments and trends.
Shen Xingwan fell into deep thought, "Coach Lin never mentioned that she knows the people in Beirong Palace, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through such trouble to sneak in."
Shen Ruoyan looked distressed, "But not many people know my mother's pseudonym. They must have a very unusual relationship with her."
Even Shen Xingwan knew this pseudonym for the first time today.
