C397 The Land of Baohu (1/2)
”Young master Jiang should be in a hurry to return home. Do not spread this news. Don't forget, my Nalan Clan is about to get married to the Jiang Clan.” Nalan Ruo Ming said coldly. He then took another bag and handed it to Mu Ru Yue. ”Princess, please change your clothes.” Then, he left the room with his attendants.
Mu Ru Yue was in the room, changing out of her wet clothes.
At the same time, on the other side, in front of the Treasure Lake.
A group of Nalan Clan servants continued to jump into the lake, as if searching for something. On the shore, the Nalan Clan Head looked to the side at Princess Wushuang, who was sitting on a chair that was sent over by the Nalan Clan Head. Standing beside her was the eldest daughter of the current emperor, Princess Yun Rou. The relationship between the two seemed to be very good. Looking at the distance, it was the Princess Wan that they had mentioned that they would be marrying the Nalan Clan.
The Emperor's adopted daughter.
When the Nalan clan leader saw these people, his eyes flashed and he gently said to the Peerless Duke: ”Princess, our Nalan clan hasn't received any news about any treasures in the past few years. This treasure lake has been like an ornament for so many years. We don't even know where the so-called gold coins we see below the treasure lake are.
If you come here now, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything. ”
Nalan Yanran's words made Princess Wushuang smile. She said with a tender voice: ”It's not like I can't find what Patriarch Nalan can't find. You have to know, in this princess' dictionary, there are no words that can't be found. Back then, you knew me the best. You should know my character, right? ”
When Princess Wushuang said those last words, the Nalan Clan Head had a slightly complicated look in his eyes.
In the past, Princess Wushuang was unrivalled, and countless men admired her. Even many foreign princes came to the Imperial City to ask for marriage, but in the end, she fell in love with an unknown person, and even after that person died, she never sought him out again.
Due to the matter of the Prince Consort, Princess Wushuang gained more tolerance from His Majesty. These years, she gradually became strange. Gradually, she became different from the princess he had admired before.
He had been paying attention to the princess from the very beginning, but now, she had changed into the way he was now. He would never bring it up again. Available... Now that he had met her, the princess would still be the same as before. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't have any thoughts on the princess.
At this moment, he still had to rely on Nalan Ruo Ming. If he really married his new wife, then his son's heart would be filled with displeasure. At that time, it would only be more of a loss than a gain if the father and son were to be separated from each other.
Thinking like this, the Nalan clan leader suppressed the countless fantasies in his heart and only said to Duke Wushuang: ”I have forgotten what the princess's temperament was like back then. However, since the princess has already given her orders, I will naturally accompany her in her search.
After all, the reason the princess has come to my Nalan Clan today is because she is certain of my Nalan Clan. It's even more so a gift. ”
It was a bit ironic for the Nalan clan head to say such words. After all, why would anyone be sure of the size of the Nalan Clan? What the Nalan Clan needed was to get even more entangled with the royal clan. Only then would they be able to continue to develop.
If they could, they would replace him one day.
However, these matters were things that had been happening for a very long time. Even if they wanted to, the time had not come yet. The current state of affairs in the Moon Empire had not reached such a state. Furthermore, the princes and princesses present were extremely capable. For the time being, it wasn't worth it.
That's all.
