As the group of people approached, Qin Rushuang discovered that the huge creature had its ankles tied with two thin chains and was very obedient.
The leader was wearing clothes with silver ornaments and seemed to be of high status, but the clothes were different from those she had seen in the southwest village.
When the man saw Qin Rushuang, he first performed a strange courtesy politely. Qin Rushuang nodded lightly, which was regarded as saying hello.
"Congratulations to Princess Huai of Daqi State. Our queen has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qin Rushuang stroked the handkerchief with her right hand, glanced at the handkerchief with a half-smile, and said to the man, "The way you Nanmans welcome distinguished guests is really special. How do you call this lord?"
"The villain is the envoy of the Nanman Kingdom. Princess, just call me Yan Guang."
Yan Guang stepped back slightly and gave up the position behind him: "There is still some distance from the Nanman Royal Palace. This is the mount of our Nanman royal family. Princess, please."
After he finished speaking, the attendant behind him took out an elegant high stool and motioned for Qin Rushuang to get up.
But before Qin Rushuang made a move, the person behind her had already grasped her slim waist and effortlessly put her on the elephant's back.
Xie Xun's sudden movement left Qin Rushuang unprepared and startled for a moment.
She was just about to turn her head and scold her, but she saw Xie Xun turned over and sat behind her with a slight exertion, holding her in his arms with both hands.
Yan Guang on the side was also startled, "This elephant walks very steadily, so it doesn't need guards to protect it..."
Xie Xun raised his chin: "We are ordered to protect Princess Huai. Who knows if there is something fishy about your weird mount? It's better to protect her personally."
Iwaguang thought for a while, but couldn't find anything to say to refute, so with a look of surprise on his face, he was helped by his subordinates to ride on the elephant's back.
Along the way, he carefully looked at Princess Huai and the guard behind him, and while introducing them to the customs and customs of Nanman, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
It’s not that the folk customs in Daqi are conservative. The most important thing is that men and women should not be intimate with each other, and they can’t even touch their hands...
Why is this guard so bold?
Or is it that their information about Da Qi is wrong...?
No matter what Yanguang who came to receive him thought, Qin Rushuang was extremely unhappy anyway.
She never thought that Xie Xun would lie to her and secretly dress up as a guard and follow her to Nanman.
And now that she was being held in Xie Xun's arms, she felt that something was wrong all over her body, and she always wanted to stay away from him, but whenever she made a move, Xie Xun would hug her tighter.
"Princess, don't move. This thing is so tall, what if it falls?"
Qin Rushuang was awkwardly hugged by Xie Xun.
Faintly seeing the magnificent and exotic building in front of her, she felt relieved and finally arrived at the palace.
She couldn't wait to turn over and jump down. She turned around to look at Yan Guang and said, "This is the Nanman Imperial Palace. It's really majestic and has a very different style."
When Yan Guang saw Qin Rushuang jumping off the back of the elephant, he was startled. There was still some distance to the ground! He was afraid of hurting the queen's distinguished guest.
Seeing Qin Rushuang landed firmly on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to the people below to help him down.
"This is it. Princess Huai, please go in with me."
Qin Rushuang took the lead and walked in front, followed by envoy Yan Guang who had to jog to keep up with her pace.
Xie Xun looked at Qin Rushuang, who was walking quickly in front, with some regret.
The road to the palace is too short...
Three guards walking behind him came over, "Your Majesty, shall we go in together?"
Xie Xun glanced at the three of them and said, "We are the princess's bodyguards, so of course we must protect her closely. And don't call me prince outside."
After saying that, he followed Qin Rushuang and walked over.
The royal palace of Nanman is full of exotic customs.
This place seems to use gold and silver to represent power and glory. Although the entire palace is not as vast and majestic as the Daqi Palace, everything visible to the naked eye is full of gold and silver ornaments, which has a unique flavor.
The plants adorning the palace were something Qin Rushuang had never seen before in Daqi. There were also peacocks walking leisurely in the forest, with graceful and contented postures.
Qin Rushuang followed Yan Guang and walked forward, and within a short while she arrived at a wide hall.
There was no door in the main hall, only bead curtains were used to separate her. Yan Guang stopped at the door, stretched out his hand to lift the bead curtain, and said to Qin Rushuang, "The queen is inside, please invite Princess Huai."
Qin Rushuang knew that Xie Xun was definitely worried about letting her go in alone, so she said to Yan Guang, "Is it okay if I only bring one guard in and no weapons?"
Yanguang was still hesitating whether to agree or not when he heard a pleasant female voice coming from inside, saying in Daqi language which was not fluent, "Okay, let Princess Huai and her people come in."
Qin Rushuang nodded and walked in slowly with Xie Xun.
In the main hall.
On the bamboo couch that looked very cool, an exotic beauty was half-lying.
Beautiful, really beautiful.
There are not many people who can make Qin Rushuang praise her beauty, and even fewer who can make Qin Rushuang feel amazing.
If calculated based on Mu Duo's age, this beautiful woman is at least in her thirties or forties, but time seems to have been particularly kind to her, and there is no trace of time on her face.
Not only that, she has a slender figure and does not look like she has given birth to a child. Her face does not have the gentleness and kindness of an ordinary woman after giving birth, but instead has a bewildering coquettishness.
When she heard someone coming in, the beautiful woman opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were even brighter and more attractive, and her eyes were indescribably seductive.
"Princess Huai is here? Sit wherever you like. You don't have to pay so much attention here."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xun, who was disguised as an ordinary-looking guard, and said with some surprise: "My palace is really full of glory today, and even King Huai is here."
Qin Rushuang smiled, looked at the Nanman Queen, and said, "The Queen is really well-informed."
The Nanman Queen sat up, waved her hands and said, "Where, the soldiers who sent you here sent me a message, saying that there is a very courageous guard beside Princess Huai... Although the prince has changed his appearance, his demeanor is still there.
Extraordinary, combined with his family and being so close to the princess... anyone can guess it."
After his identity was discovered, Xie Xun stopped pretending. He nodded and said to the Queen of Nanman, "I have met the Queen, and her appearance is indeed extraordinary."
The Queen of Nanman covered her lips and smiled. When she smiled, her face became even more charming.
She has the unique softness and enchantment of a southern barbarian woman, and her every move and smile has an air of seduction.
"King Huai is dishonest. Since he said that I have extraordinary appearance, how come he has been staring at Princess Huai since he entered the hall? He has not even given me a look!"
After finishing speaking, he said with some regret, "I have pity on that stupid boy in my family. He is devoted to Princess Huai, but he can't compete with Princess Huai..."
After hearing Mu Duo's name from the Queen of Nanman, Qin Rushuang finally became serious.
"Why didn't I receive any news from Mu Duo after I came to Nanman as promised?"
