Chapter 419 Little Fierce Horse on the Prairie
“If I want to marry you, I will never marry a southerner who has no power to tie a chicken!”
Little Fierce Horse on the Prairie, I agree. Qi Muge, the youngest daughter of Sanniang Zi, was immediately furious when she heard that her father intended for her to marry to the Han court in the south.
Sanniangzi and her brother Sengge looked at Qimuge who was losing his temper. They both advised: "What's wrong with the south? The Han people are much more prosperous than the grasslands, and they also talk about It stands to reason, you won’t suffer any loss if you go south.”
But how could Qimuge listen to such words?
Qi Muge said: "The south is so good, why don't you go? I want to marry a great hero! What kind of emperor's son, who is he? He probably can't even ride a horse or hold a sword." I don’t understand why we have to be so humble?”
Sanniangzi and Sengge sighed, originally they didn’t have to be so humble to ask for a marriage from the Ming Dynasty.
But since the battle six years ago, the effective strength of their Tumote tribe was wiped out. If they don't find a way to establish contact with the Ming Dynasty, the backlash of the defeat in the last war will be It quickly affected Tumut.
At that time, other tribes that originally submitted to Tumut will gradually become disaffected, and it may be the end of the Anda family.
So, after that war, since the Ming Dynasty extended an olive branch for trade, Anda naturally agreed to the Ming Dynasty’s harsh requirements without hesitation and agreed to allow the Ming Dynasty’s caravans to enter the hinterland of the grassland. Conduct trade with them.
Moreover, after these years of peace and the benefits gained from trade with the Ming Dynasty, Tumut has regained some strength.
So at this time, Anda wanted to set his sights to the west to take back the old land of the Chagatai Khanate that the Golden Family had established in the Western Regions from the hands of the Green Sect.
But in order to solve his worries and to reassure Ming Chao about him, Anda thought of a way to get married.
For grassland tribes like Anda, all promises are not as reliable as a marriage with the attributes of a political alliance.
So Anda thought about marrying his youngest daughter Qimuge to the Ming Dynasty so that the Ming emperor could see his surrender and give him tolerant support for his next actions.
But Qi Muge just didn't want to.
She has been pampered and raised since she was a child, galloping wantonly on the vast grassland like a fierce horse, enjoying the freedom of heaven and earth, and yearning for the legendary grassland hero.
Imagining that in the future I would definitely marry an indomitable grassland hero.
As a result, her fantasy did not come true, but she received news that she would be married to the south to be a concubine to the son of the Ming Dynasty emperor.
How can such news not make Qimuge’s mentality explode?
The third wife looked at her beloved youngest daughter, and she was unwilling to marry Qi Muge so far away.
But for the future of the Tumut tribe, she must make sacrifices. If it were not for the tens of thousands of Tumut troops, how could the future be guaranteed?
Nowadays, the national power of the Ming Dynasty is booming. In sharp contrast, the grassland is getting worse and worse, and the winter is getting colder year by year.
If they cannot grab a warm enough place, Tumut's demise will be close at hand⑩.
Therefore, Sanniangzi would never let Qi Muge's temper remain like this. She had said all her good things, but Qi Muge still didn't understand her good intentions, which made Sanniangzi very disappointed.
Sanniangzi said forcefully: "When you were young, you could do whatever you wanted, but now that you have grown up, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of the Golden Family. The marriage with the Ming Dynasty is for the future of our Tumut. You As a son and daughter of the Great Khan, enjoying the support of this tribe, if you can't contribute to Tumote, what kind of descendants of Genghis Khan are you? She was spinning, she didn't know why the situation had become like this.
Originally she was carefree, the apple of her father's and mother's eyes, and the most beloved little sister of her brothers and sisters. How could she become like this in the blink of an eye?
The third lady looked at the aggrieved Qi Muge, and she comforted her gently: "Lovely Qi Muge, you are more beautiful than the Han women in the south. When you go to the south, your husband will be too. I love you the most. You must strive to give birth to a son for him when the time comes, so that your future will be more secure.”
Qi Muge cried: "But mother, I don't want to marry in the south, I don't want to leave the grassland. I heard from the Han people that their women are not allowed to go out and will be locked up in high-rise courtyards for the rest of their lives." , the sky you can see is only as big as the yard.”
“I grew up on the grassland, and I am used to the vastness of the sky and the earth, and I am used to running around. If I were locked up in their small yard, I would not be able to see it. Or not Qi Muge?”
Sanniang comforted Qi Muge, “No, you are the daughter of the grassland, they will take special care of you, and my mother has also heard about them. Prince Yu is a very capable and generous man. As long as you obey him, he will give you a lot of freedom."
Qi Muge said aggrievedly: "But he is already over ten years old. "
The third lady consoled her again: "What's wrong with men having more wives? Besides me, doesn't your father also have many women? And none of your brothers are wives. Group? It doesn’t matter, as long as he treats you well, that’s the best.”
After Qi Muge was comforted by the third lady, her tears of grievance gradually stopped, and her red eyes made her a little more delicate like a prairie woman, but this delicateness still could not hide the heroic spirit between her eyebrows. .
Sanniangzi looked at Qi Muge who had calmed down, and she said softly: "Try on the wedding clothes first. The wedding clothes prepared by my mother for you were all purchased with a lot of money from Liaodong. Dongzhu, even the empress of the Ming Dynasty did not have so many beautiful Dongzhu. This time, I took them all out and bought you this wedding dress, just so that you can stand with your head held high. "Southern Kingdom."
The third lady asked the maid on the side to bring over the wedding clothes, and before Qi Muge had any intention of resisting, she finished these things first, so that Qi Muge could rest in peace. The Lord obeys this marriage.
Looking at Qi Muge’s Dongzhu wedding dress, Sanniang’s eyes couldn’t help but sparkle with tears.
Sanniangzi praised: "Qimuge, you are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful flower on the grassland. This time you really took advantage of the prince of the Ming Dynasty."
Qi Muge looked at herself in the mirror, and she couldn't help but be fascinated. She never thought that one day she would look so beautiful in her wedding dress. No wonder the girls in the grassland would Imagine yourself getting married.
It turns out that with the blessing of Xifu, you can really be beautiful.
But the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more uncomfortable Qi Muge felt. She really didn’t want to marry to the Ming Dynasty in the south, but now the responsibility was on her shoulders, and she couldn’t He only cared about himself and ignored his tribe and family.
So, in the end, Qi Muge agreed to Anda's arrangement and prepared to go south to marry His Highness Prince Yu, the son of the Ming Dynasty emperor.
