The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 873

Chapter 873: Chapter 760, Marriage Alliance

Wandering the streets of Beijing, Prince Yelu Hao of Xiliao always appeared amiable, frequently asking Xiao Yeyang and Jiang Jinghui a few questions.

The Xiliao Crown Prince, however, seemed honest and kind, maintaining silence throughout the journey.

While Yelu Hao kept Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yeyang engrossed, Crown Prince Yelu Kangda subtly observed Beijing.

Daxia had been at war with the Tartars for the past few years, which had certainly drained the treasury, yet Beijing still thrived and bustled.

Thinking of the extinguished Tartar Imperial Family, Yelu Kangda felt somewhat somber.

In previous years, Xiliao had been in internal chaos, leading to severe damage to its national power. Had it not been so, taking advantage of Daxia’s recent war with Tartars and inability to wage another, Xiliao’s cavalry could have swept southward and seized the lands of Xiliang.

Sadly, Xiliao’s national power was also insufficient, unable to support large-scale warfare.

Xiliao needed to recuperate now. By taking the opportunity to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday, his personal visit to Daxia was intended to seek a marriage with the Daxia princess, to buy Xiliao a few more years.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyang listened quietly to the conversation between Yelu Hao and Jiang Jinghui, while covertly watching Yelu Kangda, observing his calculating gaze, pondering to deploy more people to monitor the Xiliao people upon his return.

...

On the other hand, Princess Yelu Qianhua of Xiliao, seeing that Daxia had only sent a few minor officials to accompany her, clearly looked displeased.

"They claim to be a land of propriety, yet I see hardly any manners at all."

"Being the Seventh Princess of Xiliao, even if they do not send a princess to receive me, they should at least send a few commandery or county princesses to accompany me."

While strolling, Yelu Qianhua made no effort to hide her discontent, leaving the accompanying officials all feeling extremely troubled.

When returning to the hostel, Yelu Qianhua happened to see Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yeyang returning Yelu Hao and Yelu Kangda and approached them with a petulant tone, "Hey, I order you two to go shopping with me tomorrow!"

Xiao Yeyang gave her a look as if she were a fool and then left without looking back.

Jiang Jinghui, although also feeling that Yelu Qianhua was irritating, still maintained his composure and did not leave abruptly.

Yelu Qianhua didn’t expect Xiao Yeyang to treat her like that and stared blankly as he walked away.

Seeing that Yelu Qianhua didn’t get angry, Jiang Jinghui was slightly surprised. Having picked up people from the Beijing suburbs, and having interacted with the Xiliao people for a few days, he knew well how capricious the Xiliao princess could be.

Along the way, she would whip anyone at the slightest dissatisfaction. Yet now, she tolerated such a snub!

Thinking of Xiao Yeyang’s demeanor and status, and then recalling his cousin Wanying’s recent dejection, Jiang Jinghui had an idea and said with a smile, "Don’t mind him, Princess. Xiao usually isn’t like this, perhaps he was just in a hurry to go back and build his new house."

Yelu Qianhua immediately asked, "What new house?"

Jiang Jinghui replied, "Xiao is getting married this December and is currently preparing to build his new house."

Yelu Qianhua’s eyes lit up. "He’s not married yet?"

Jiang Jinghui smiled and nodded, then after bidding farewell to Yelu Hao and Yelu Kangda, he left the hostel.

Yelu Kangda watched him leave thoughtfully, then returned to his room with Yelu Hao and Yelu Qianhua.

Once no one else was around, the three dropped their disguises.

Yelu Hao’s face lost its benign smile, his eyes glittering shrewdly;

Yelu Qianhua also shed her capricious demeanor in public, becoming composed;

And Yelu Kang, setting aside his honest expression, suddenly exuded a daunting aura.

Yelu Kang sat in the chief seat, with Yelu Hao and Yelu Qianhua on either side, clearly, he was the leader among them.

"Share what you observed today."

Today was just a simple stroll through Beijing, and there was not much to gain. Yelu Hao and Yelu Qianhua both spoke briefly.
