Chapter 241 - 154: What Does This Mean? (2)

At the moment of boarding the carriage, the elder tribal leader turned back and gave Bo Lu a deep look, then sighed.

He didn’t know how the mission to Da Jing would turn out, but he always had a feeling that Bo Lu’s abilities were far from matching his ambitions, and the future of the Turkic was uncertain.

In the distance, Bo Lu Khan himself came to the outside of the royal court to see the delegation off.

Standing on a high dirt slope, he watched the convoy gradually recede, feeling a mix of emotions.

"I hope the Da Jing Dynasty can accept our sincerity."

Bo Lu murmured softly, his eyes carrying a mix of hope and unease.

The delegation headed south, ready to traverse the vast grasslands towards Da Jing.

According to custom, the ancient marriage alliances between nations usually involved a complex diplomatic process, involving various negotiations and arrangements.

Generally, the process of marriage alliance roughly includes: initial contact and negotiation, reaching an agreement, preparation and escort, and formal marriage alliance.

Therefore, the princess involved in a marriage alliance usually does not accompany the delegation during the initial negotiations but is escorted by a dedicated team after an agreement is reached.

This is done to ensure the safety of the princess and to show the importance both parties place on the marriage alliance.

But Bo Lu Khan, perhaps due to his youth, didn’t understand these procedures or was too afraid that Da Jing’s "pea weapon" would soon strike the Turkic.

He completely overlooked all the preceding procedures, allowing the delegation to directly take Princess Yujia with a prepared lavish dowry to Da Jing.

If the Emperor of Da Jing was not impressed by Princess Yujia, then the Turkic would just seek peace and offer compensation.

If the negotiations succeed, Princess Yujia could stay in Da Jing and immediately hold the marriage ceremony with Emperor Jing.

The Turkic delegation’s convoy slowly headed towards the Capital City of the Da Jing Dynasty, while Han Lei’s team had already reached the outskirts of the capital and was advancing towards the capital.

Han Lei’s carriage slowly moved along the winding official road, the horses seeming to feel the leisurely journey, their steps neither fast nor slow, occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on the grass by the roadside.

Inside the carriage, Han Lei leaned back on a soft cushion, holding a cellphone in her hand, on which was playing a video tutorial on special effects makeup.

Her gaze was focused, occasionally pausing the video to carefully study each detail.

The light inside the carriage flickered with each sway.

Han Lei was indifferent, her attention entirely concentrated on the wax and makeup brushes in her hand.

She first gently applied the wax to the sides of her cheeks, carefully shaping them into rounded arcs, then thickened it at the chin to create a wealthy-looking double chin.

Each modification, she would carefully examine herself in a small mirror, her brows slightly furrowed, as if carving a piece of art.

After numerous adjustments and modifications, Han Lei finally stopped her movements.

She looked up satisfied, her mirrored reflection completely transformed ——

Fair skin, thick black eyebrows, rounded cheeks, a symbol of wealth, a double chin, uncannily resembling a plump rich kid akin to Wei Dabao.

She couldn’t help but chuckle softly, her eyes slightly lifting with a sense of pride and mischief.

Their entourage was a key monitoring target "unable to enter the capital without a decree."

With this makeup, they could come and go freely in the Capital City for a month.

Even if she stood brazenly before Emperor Jing, he would never suspect that "he" was supposed to remain in the remote countryside as Princess Cangzhou.

With the makeup done, Han Lei felt much more relaxed than before.

She leaned by the carriage window, gazing at the fields retreating gradually outside, silently planning the upcoming moves.

Princess Changle, in order to be with Zhao Zun forever, went as far as to drug others, deeply scheming and not a kind person.

Meanwhile, the Champion Marquis ruthlessly sought to sever his daughter’s obsession, even sending assassins to kill Zhao Zun, his methods viciously despicable.

How could she "pay respects" to the Champion Marquis’s family without involving Cangzhou or hurting the innocent?

More importantly, she and her brothers in the Big Character Team must retreat without any mishaps.

The Su Family of the Champion Marquis wields immense power in the Capital City, with family members mostly being generals, holding considerable military might and influence.

If using a sniper rifle to directly assassinate the Champion Marquis, although precise, the scope of "paying respects" would be too narrow, Han Lei found it unsatisfactory.
