Bai Xianyuan asked them to sit up and said, "I see that you are dressed like people from the Northern Dynasty?"

He Chang replied: "Exactly, we came here with His Highness from the Northern Dynasties."

Bai Xianyuan: "Are you all Xianbei?"

Tuoba Ronghua only sat halfway, his hands folded gracefully and respectfully on his knees, he got up and replied: "Yes."

He Chang was really lively and talked a lot: "Sister Ronghua is of noble birth, she belongs to the royal family! My concubine is from the He family of the eight major families in Xianbei."

Bai Xianyuan looked at Tuoba Ronghua: "Oh? The royal family?"

Tuoba Ronghua shook his head: "The concubine is just a remote offshoot of the Tuoba clan."

Bai Xianyuan: "I heard that the nobles of Xianbei are not allowed to learn Chinese? Both of you speak very well."

"It is precisely because of this that our Khan let us come to the Southern Dynasty!" He Chang said.

Tuoba Ronghua said, "Both our mothers are Han Chinese."

As soon as this remark came out, He Chang glanced at Tuoba Ronghua, his face was not very good.

In the Northern Dynasties, mothers were Han Chinese, which was a shame and would lower their status.

Bai Xianyuan asked suddenly: "You two, do you know the prince of the Northern Dynasty, Tuoba Pi?"

He Chang hurriedly said, "Yes! I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince myself!"

Tuoba Ronghua: "After we were selected to come to the Southern Dynasty, we lived in the palace for a short time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to inspect it personally, and we have seen it that time."

Bai Xianyuan nodded and said, "I don't have any preparations for the first meeting. I will give you a few sets of clothes from the Southern Dynasty and some jewelry as a gift. Since you have come to the Southern Dynasty, there must be something useful."

Thank you both.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me." Bai Xianyuan said again, "I just came here today, and things are quite complicated, so I won't keep the two of you, let's go back first."

However, it seems that these two did not simply come to visit her.

He Chang said: "His Royal Highness, we are here today. In addition to greeting you, I also want to ask, I don't know when the status of the two of us will be settled?"

"Status?" Bai Xianyuan said: "The two of you may not know much about it. Usually, only the emperor's marriage can directly determine the status. Other women, whether they are bestowed by the elders or gifted by other countries, can only be served in the bedchamber." After that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will seal it for you."

He Chang: "But when will His Royal Highness let us sleep? We have been here from the Northern Dynasties for a month or two, and His Royal Highness has never set foot in Dongye Courtyard!"

Dongyeyuan is specially reserved for women of their status.

Only with status can they move out of Dongye Yuan and allocate a separate palace for them to live in.

Bai Xianyuan said without changing his expression: "His Royal Highness just came back, I think he has too many things to do."

He Chang's big eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked gossipingly: "I heard that he went to rest in the outer study on the wedding night between you and His Highness the Crown Prince last night? Is His Highness so busy?" ?”

Odan and Caiwei have been standing beside Bai Xianyuan. Hearing her talk, Odan frowned and said, "Miss He! Why are you still spreading gossip about your master? Is this the etiquette of your Xianbei nobles?"

He Chang gave Odan a sideways look, and asked, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"

"The servant girl is the dowry maid of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Odan said, "No matter how you were in the Northern Dynasty, now you are in the Southern Dynasty.

"Dowry maid?" He Chang was very angry, "It's just a maid, what is it! How dare you come and preach to me!"

Tuoba Ronghua grabbed He Chang and hurriedly stood up to apologize to Bai Xianyuan: "His Royal Highness, sister He Chang is a straight-talking girl, don't take it for granted!"
