Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Day of the Wedding

Helian Yu'er sat on the chair under the porch, basking in the sun, thinking about Nian'er and Xuanqi. Although Helian Yuer really delayed returning to the royal court after Helian Han left according to the procrastination left by Xuan Qi before saying goodbye, the wedding day is still approaching. Helian Yu'er didn't know what Xuan Qi would do, so she simply stopped thinking about it, but hoped that Xuan Qi wouldn't do anything stupid again, because Xuan Qi's safety was undoubtedly more important to Helian Yu'er at this moment than ever.

Helian Shanshan still came to Helian Yu'er every day to say goodbye, and by the way, he accompanied Helian Yu'er to talk and relieve boredom. Among all the brothers of Helian Han, Helian Shan's and Helian Yu'er are the closest. When he was a child, Helian Shan, every year he and his mother would visit his aunt's family in Juyanhai, and it can be said that Helian Yuer grew up watching Helian Shan.

Helian Shanshan didn't dare to disobey Helian Han's will, but he still felt a little guilty about Helian Yu'er, so he had to accompany Helian Yu'er as much as possible, which could be regarded as some apologies. And this time Helian Shan's arrival brought a news that Helian Yuer didn't want to hear, and Helian Han would return to the royal court tomorrow.

The day of the wedding finally arrived, although it was icy and snowy, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people of the royal court, and from early in the morning, the whole royal court entered a happy time. People sang and danced in the open space in front of the sweat tent, celebrating the wedding of their Great Khan and the most beautiful pearl of the steppe.

Helian Han sat on the sweat seat, laughing from time to time, and Helian Yu'er, who was sitting on the side, was wearing a Xiongnu national costume, dignified and deceitful. The envoys of various countries and the princes and ministers of the Xiongnu sent the most beautiful blessings and rich gifts in turn, which made Helian Han laugh from time to time.

Helian Yu'er was always smiling, looking at everyone who came forward to congratulate her. It wasn't until Dai Quan, the envoy general of the Bohai Kingdom, walked up, and one of the two entourages holding gifts behind him raised his head and smiled at Helian Yu'er. Helian Yu'er was stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to her original look, pretending that nothing had happened.

It's just that Helian Yu'er still feels a trace of warmth in her heart, and a trace of helplessness. This man from the Bohai Kingdom who looked at him with a full face and beard, who was it not Xuan Qi? Helian Yu'er originally thought that she would never see Xuan Qi again in this life, but she didn't expect that when she saw Xuan Qi again, it would be in such a way. Helian Yu'er showed a reproachful look, but Xuan Qi didn't care, but opened his mouth wider and smiled, giving Helian Yu'er a reassuring look, her white teeth shining with shiny light.

Helian Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and saw Dai Quan retreating with two entourages, only to come back to her senses, and saw Xuan Qi holding a gift from a distance and exiting the main hall, but she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. On the one hand, Helian Yuer was naturally happy about Xuan Qi's indefatigability, but on the other hand, Helian Yuer was unwilling to risk Xuan Qi's life again and come to rescue him.

It wasn't until the envoys of Che Chi Kingdom in the Western Regions sent a team of huge night pearls and asked Helian Yu'er to inspect them in person, Helian Yu'er was finally stunned, because the white silk under the two night pearls was embroidered with three thin Chinese characters: I am coming! Listening to Che Chi's envoys constantly touting their gifts and eyes with deep meaning, Helian Yu'er expressed her love for this pair of night pearls on the spot and took them into her arms.

And then, Helian Yu'er felt as if there were many envoys, and even a few envoys of the Hun wealthy nobles, their eyes were not quite the same, but nothing unusual happened, and Helian Yu'er had to put away her pounding heart.

After the gift, Helian Yuer was sent to the dormitory, but Helian Han stayed behind and celebrated with the people. Countless delicacies and wine were sent, and the entire royal court fell into a carnival, and even the 100,000 Hun soldiers stationed around the royal court also received the wine and delicacies, and drank bitterly in the sound of shouting.

Helian Han had already drunk a little too much, and even his steps were a little vain, but he had no choice but to pull the envoys of various countries to hold him down, and the endless flattering good words were endless, so that Helian Han had to stop and kill the wine in his hand one by one in laughter.

It wasn't until midnight that Helian Han was helped into the dormitory. After closing the door, Helian Han, who couldn't even stand on his feet, couldn't wait to tear his clothes, rushed to the soft collapse, and pushed the beauty who was sitting upright.

When Helian Han woke up from his intoxication, it was already afternoon, and he still felt some pain in his head, and his surroundings were already empty. Roughly remembering last night's madness, Helian Han couldn't help but smile as he wished. After a simple wash, there were guards who came to report, and many envoys from various countries, as well as some wealthy nobles, had already come to say goodbye, and seeing that Helian Han was still asleep, he did not disturb Helian Han, but left a message, all of them were out of the royal court, and Helian Han would not care.

Helian Han asked where Helian Yu'er went, but he went to the temple early in the morning to worship his ancestors. Zongmiao was more than ten miles north of the royal court, and Helian Han asked if there was a large army with him, so he was relieved. Until night was about to fall, Helian Han finally felt that something was wrong, with the distance from the royal court to the temple, Helian Yu'er was four or five round trips, and it was time to come back at this moment. Helian Han decided to go and see it himself, so he took the guards and hurriedly sweated out of the tent and went towards the temple.

In front of the temple, there was still a garrison guarding it, and when they saw Helian Han coming, they knelt down to greet him. Helian Han asked if Helian Yu'er was still in the temple, but the answer he got was like a bolt from the blue. It turned out that Helian Yu'er had not been to Zongmiao today, and a large living person and a thousand cavalry escorted by him disappeared inexplicably. The furious Helian Han whipped his horse whip on the face of the hundred cavalry commanders who reported in front of him, and shouted angrily and asked people to immediately search for Helian Yu'er's whereabouts.

And the news that came soon after made Helian Han feel very angry and helpless, the 100,000 troops of the royal court, due to the hangover last night, are now most of them still weak, and it is difficult to dispatch at all, and there are only more than 10,000 people who can go on horses and search on the streets.

In the darkness of the night, the Huns began to search everywhere, and the torches illuminated the entire royal court. At this time, Helian Yu'er was sitting in a carriage and slowly headed east. On the opposite side of Helian Yu'er, who was looking at Helian Yu'er with a smile, it was Xuan Qi who had already removed his beard.
