Chapter 1098 - 250: I’m Willing to Spoil
All the chancellors thought that the woman depicted in the painting, stunning as a startling swan, must be the real Rong Clan Princess, and the two beautiful Rong Clan Princesses before them were impostors.
In history, this sort of thing often happened: an Emperor, unwilling to send his own daughter to marry, would call a noble lady or a chancellor’s daughter to be named Princess and sent off in a marriage alliance.
Vice Admiral Tamu of the Rong Clan immediately became anxious, "General Pei! Although the two princesses are not born of The Princess, they are indeed our Khan’s own flesh and blood. How can there be any talk of impostors?!"
Pei Qin raised an eyebrow at him.
Vice Admiral Tamu then pointed to the woman in the drawing, "The woman in this painting is indeed beautiful, but she is not our Rong Clan Princess! Princess An Ji and Princess Xiang Nage are the most outstanding and beautiful women among all the princesses of our Rong Clan! They’re also the most beautiful women in the entire grasslands! General Pei’s integrity is revered by our Rong Clan. Please do not slander us!"
Pei Qin handed the painting to a little eunuch to hold, then turned to An Ji and Xiang Nage, "May I borrow a moment to speak with the two princesses?"
"What does General Pei intend to do with our princesses?" Tamu immediately stepped forward to intercede, "Our princesses are still unable to speak much Han language; anything you have to say can be discussed directly with Tamu!"
Pei Qin rolled her eyes heavenward. She didn’t want to show off in front of everyone, yet he was giving her exactly this opportunity!
