If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 232 Lan Qier

Although Bilige planned to have his sister marry Zhu Zhankun and become his concubine, after Zhu Di opened his mouth, his sister could only be a side concubine.

However, this did not disappoint Bilig. After all, the side concubine of Prince Ming Dynasty was already a very noble status. Although it was a little worse than the main concubine, it was not bad for Wengji Labu and his sister today. .

After all, Meng Yuan is no longer around. The Ming Dynasty hammered the Mongolian tribe to pieces. The Wengji tribe has long lost its former glory. The only one who married into the Ming court, Weng Fei, said the wrong thing. Arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to be buried, they are no longer the Wengji Labu who produced [-] Mongolian and Yuan queens.

Although the Wengji La tribe today still maintains the dignity of a large tribe, they have lost the favor of the Mongolian and Yuan royal families and failed to establish a relationship with the Ming royal family. They have long since declined and are no longer as strong as before.

Moreover, the Wengjira tribe has never been a tribe famous for its military force. Even though it is one of the larger tribes on the Mongolian grasslands, when people mention it, the first thing that comes to mind is the relationship between Genghis Khan and his queen Borte. Love story, in which Ongjirabu only exists as a background board.

Therefore, for the current Weng Ji La tribe, being able to marry a prince of the Ming Dynasty has already elevated them.

After all, the side concubine is also a concubine, not a concubine, and her status is only lower than that of the princess, but higher than other concubines.

Bilige also knew that for Ming Dynasty, a Mongolian woman would not be allowed to be the prince's concubine under any circumstances. That position could only be reserved for Ming Dynasty's own noble daughter.

Precisely because of such expectations, Bilige did not show any disappointment. Instead, he looked overjoyed and kept dragging Zhu Zhanchuan to drink, driving like a stupid brother marrying his sister and trying to get his uncle drunk. It actually made the atmosphere of the banquet more harmonious, diluting the depression caused by the fool who provoked Ming before.

"Come, His Highness Prince Zheng, let me offer you another bowl! I wish you could capture that old guy Mahamu alive on horseback!" Bilige sat next to Zhu Zhanquan with the wine jar and bowl in his hand, and said to him He toasted with a large bowl of wine, but behind his seemingly generous appearance, he was deliberately talking about Zhu Zhanyu's proud things.

Zhu Zhanjun naturally saw that Bilige was deliberately trying to please him. He didn't bother to expose the thoughts of the guy who was about to become his brother-in-law. He just waved his hand and said: "Your wine is not good, drink mine." .”

As he said that, he poured the wine in Bilige's wine bowl on the ground, took out a jade pot from his sleeve, then poured a bowl for himself and Bilige, then picked up the wine bowl and said: "This is real good wine, let's do it!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhanquan poured a bowl of wine with a fragrant aroma that was enough to tempt everyone's drinking bug into his mouth.

When Bilige saw this, he did not dare to neglect, and the wine was indeed tempting, so he took a sip of the wine in the bowl without hesitation, and in an instant he felt a strong fire rising from his throat, burning his face. of red.

However, Bilige always kept his mouth shut, for fear that he would spit out the rare wine when he opened his mouth.

It would be a small matter to spit out the wine, but it would be a big problem to lose etiquette in front of Zhu Zhanquan.

Although the Ongji tribe has declined, it is still a tribe that has produced more than a dozen queens. The etiquette education is undoubtedly much better than other Mongolian tribes.

They clearly knew how serious it was to be disrespectful in front of nobles, especially when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty took over the Central Plains and were influenced by Han culture. Many of the etiquette, etiquette and customs of the Mongolian royal family on the grasslands were different from those of the Mongolians on the grasslands. People are very different.Although the Yuan Dynasty was completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty, even the unified Mongolian tribes were dispersed again, and many of these pre-Yuan rituals and etiquette were lost, but there are still many things preserved in the Wengji La tribe.

Therefore, although Bilige still looks like a bold Mongolian man, many of his styles and habits are more inclined to the Chinese style.

Therefore, he is actually not very popular among other tribes on the grassland.

Although all tribes in the grassland are very interested in women from the Ongji tribe and want to marry a woman from the Ongji tribe like Genghis Khan and the Mongolian royal family did, the Mongols are more accustomed to robbing them instead of proposing like the Han people. .

After all, even Genghis Khan's eldest queen, Borte, was snatched away and gave birth to Jochi, who was not Genghis Khan's son. You will know what the customs of the Mongols are.

Even this custom has been passed down to later generations, and this custom is still preserved in Mobei and Outer Mongolia.

Therefore, other tribes want to rob the women of the Wengjila tribe more than seek marriage.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wengji tribe was a large tribe, I'm afraid Bilige's sister would have been snatched away long ago.

He married his sister to Zhu Zhanchun this time, actually with the idea of ​​getting rid of the trouble. After all, his sister had too many suitors.

Although this will help him win over other tribes and build good relations with them, one or two families can also marry and form relationships to build relationships, but if it becomes ten families and eight families, this is not a relationship, but a target of public criticism, regardless of No one will be satisfied.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zheng's wine is indeed good wine! What I drank before was swill!" Although Bilige said this, he did not put down the wine jar in his arms. After all, this was the wine given by Zhu Di just now. , It doesn't matter if Zhu Zhanquan throws it away, he is despising the emperor if he dares to do so.

"Haha, what does this mean? Our Ming Dynasty is rich in resources and rich in the world! There are many delicacies and wines! That means we are going on an expedition now, so it is difficult to carry it with you in the army. Otherwise, I will let you see what wealth is in the world!" Zhu Zhanquan dressed up He looked like he was bragging when he was drunk. He patted Bilige on the shoulder and asked him curiously: "Speaking of which, what is your sister's name? Does she look good-looking?"

Speaking of his sister, Bilig suddenly became interested and said to Zhu Zhanyu with a proud look: "My sister is naturally beautiful! Her name is Lan Qier, and she has been the most beautiful pearl on the grassland since she was a child! And she is not only He is beautiful, and his abilities with bow, horse, and sword are not inferior to those of men. He is a proud and fierce horse!

If it weren't for a hero like His Highness, there would be no way to tame the proud Lan Qier!Only a hero like you, Your Highness, is worthy of the most beautiful pearl of the grassland! "

"Really? Could it be that you, your brother, are bragging to your sister?" Zhu Zhanquan looked unbelieving, but without waiting for Bilige to argue, he said to him: "I will send my maid to you tomorrow. Tribe, pick them up, remember to send a guide, pick them up and I will take them directly back to the Ming Dynasty."

　I am not making up the custom of bride-kidnapping in Mongolia. There is indeed such a custom in Outer Mongolia to this day, and it has been repeatedly banned. The law of Outer Mongolia seems to also recognize marriage-kidnapping.
