Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 73 Just how handsome is he?

Upon hearing Xiao Wenyao's words, Yelü Nanyan smiled slightly and then said, "Yaoyao, I'm afraid that won't work. No matter what, he is a prince of the Great Xia. If we capture him, we can use him to make some deals with the Great Xia. He will still be of some use to us."

Xiao Wenyao pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. After all, Yelü Nanyan was a princess and had a lot of influence in the Tianlang royal family.

The Sirius King's clan has grown to its current size and possesses advanced weaponry thanks to the Queen's leadership.

She actively learned from the Great Xia Dynasty and secretly bribed many people in the Great Xia Dynasty. Then, she used these people to conduct commercial trade with the Great Xia Dynasty. Wu Yuan, who was kneeling in front of her, was one of them.

Under her leadership, the Sirius clan is no weaker than other barbarian branches, and may even be stronger.

The idea of ​​establishing a kingdom in Beijun was also proposed by Yelü Nanyan. She discovered that the north was getting colder year by year, while the barbarian population was increasing rapidly. The grasslands could no longer support so many barbarian people.

In addition, the Northern County was becoming increasingly poor, and even if they went to the Northern County to plunder grain, the grain they obtained would not be enough to feed their tribe for long.

The best way is to learn from the Great Xia Dynasty and support a larger population by growing grain crops.

Moreover, she also learned that a type of grain crop that could yield a thousand catties per mu had appeared in Beijun. If the Sirius King could conquer Beijun, occupy it, and establish a kingdom, their branch would no longer need to live a nomadic life, and their lives would become better.

The Sirius Clan's current strength and scale are inseparable from Yelü Nanyan's policies, making her an irreplaceable figure within the clan. Even the current Sirius King, Xiao Hongbo, holds her in high esteem.

Of course, Yelü Nanyan's status wasn't something she had from the beginning; she was only a teenager when she married her predecessor, the Wolf King.

However, the previous Sirius King was already an old man, paralyzed in bed, and unable to manage the entire tribe. Yelü Nanyan helped him manage the tribe, and over time, Yelü Nanyan gained considerable power.

After the death of the Sirius King, who had no heirs, the Sirius clan, through the mediation of Yelü Nanyan, elected Xiao Hongbo as the new Sirius King.

The current Sirius King was chosen with the help of Yelü Nanyan, which further consolidated Yelü Nanyan's power.

Moreover, Yelü Nanyan is a very clever woman. She gives the current Sirius King a lot of face and lets him make decisions on all major matters. It seems that she has relinquished all power.

Even when Sirius King said he wanted to marry her, she didn't refuse. She just set a goal for Sirius King, and if he achieved the goal, she would marry him.

Yelü Nanyan was only a teenager when she married the previous King of the Wolf Kingdom, and she is still a virgin. She cannot remain a widow for the rest of her life for someone who is already dead, so she will definitely marry him.

In the eyes of the current Sirius King Xiao Hongbo, Yelü Nanyan is already his woman, so he trusts her very much. As for taking Beijun and then marrying her, Xiao Hongbo considers Beijun as a gift to Yelü Nanyan.

At this moment, Yelü Nanyan looked at Wu Yuan kneeling in front of her and continued, "Wu Yuan, you have worked hard to gather information in Da Xia this time. Go and get some rest."

Wu Yuan immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yuan got up and left Yelü Nanyan's yurt.

Seeing that Wu Yuan had gotten up and left, Xiao Wenyao quickly said, "Your Highness, I'll be going too."

With that, Xiao Wenyao turned and left the yurt.

After Xiao Wenyao stepped out of the yurt, she quickly said to Wu Yuan, "Wu Yuan, wait a moment."

Wu Yuan stopped and turned to look at Xiao Wenyao, asking respectfully, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Xiao Wenyao asked directly, "Did you bring the perfume and soap I asked you to bring?"

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Since it is Her Highness's order, I will naturally obey. Those things are still in the carriage, and I will go and deliver them to Her Highness right away."

Xiao Wenyao said, "No need, I'll go with you. Tell me about the Great Xia."

Whether it was influenced by Yelü Nanyan or not, Xiao Wenyao was very interested in all aspects of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Wu Yuan was from the Great Xia, and every time he returned from Great Xia, she would ask him about things related to Great Xia.

For example, she would ask Wu Yuan about any interesting things that had happened in the Great Xia recently, or any gossip about the princes of the Great Xia. Basically, she would ask Wu Yuan about anything that she found interesting.

Upon hearing Xiao Wenyao's words, Wu Yuan replied, "Yes, Your Highness, please feel free to ask me anything you wish to know."

Then, as they walked, Xiao Wenyao said, "Everyone says that the Northern King of Great Xia is exceptionally handsome. Is he really that handsome? Can you describe to me just how handsome he is?"

This……

Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard Xiao Wenyao's first question.

Wu Yuan pondered for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

Seeing that Wu Yuan didn't answer directly, Xiao Wenyao turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Wu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I really don't know how to describe the Northern King."

"From the perspective of women from the Great Xia Dynasty, the Northern King is indeed exceptionally handsome. However, if judged by the standards of women from the grasslands when choosing a husband, the Northern King would be considered rather thin and small. The Northern King is not a martial artist, and his body is not strong."

Upon hearing Wu Yuan's answer, Xiao Wenyao's eyes lit up. She then said, "I don't like men who are too strong. Almost all the men on the grasslands are fat and ugly. What's so good-looking about them?"

Seeing that Xiao Wenyao seemed very interested in the Northern King, Wu Yuan continued, "Your Highness, as you know, the Northern King is particularly fond of beautiful women. If he sees Your Highness, he will definitely be unable to walk away."

"If Your Highness is interested in the Northern King, this time the King's southward attack on the Northern Commandery may be an opportunity for you."

Hearing Wu Yuan say this, Xiao Wenyao sighed, "You heard it too, the princess said that the Northern King is still useful. Even if we capture the Northern King this time in the south, she will not hand him over to me."

Wu Yuan smiled faintly. He had originally planned to trick Xiao Wenyao into going directly to Beijun, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Now was a critical time, and doing anything unnecessary would arouse suspicion, which would be a loss in the end.

Wu Yuan then said, "Your Highness, rest assured, you will always have opportunities to be alone with the Northern King."

Xiao Wenyao said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. By the way, do you know how perfume and soap are made?"

"Every time I run out, I have to wait for you to go to the supermarket to buy more. It's too much trouble. Why don't we make it ourselves?"

Wu Yuan said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, only the Northern Prince's Mansion has the methods for making perfume and soap. They only sell finished products and have never revealed the methods for making soap and perfume."

Xiao Wenyao was stunned when she heard Wu Yuan's words.

"Bei Wangfu?"

Wu Yuan then added, "Yes, it is said that perfume and soap were created by the Northern King."

"Not only that, this time I also brought Your Highness a kind of soap, which is also made by the Northern Prince's Mansion. The soap is better than regular soap, and I guarantee that Your Highness will like it after using it."
