828: Chapter 829: Teaching the Craftsmanship of Making Glass (1) 828: Chapter 829: Teaching the Craftsmanship of Making Glass (1) June in the Northern Ridge was a display of clear skies and pleasant weather.
On the road, the grass was tall, the orioles were singing, the willows were soaked in the warm sun, and the vast prairies in the distance contributed to the idyllic scene.
Nangong Yi, accompanied by thousands of guards, had been traveling for two days and eventually arrived at the ng Slaves’ Royal City on the evening of the third day.
To show respect for the Great Jin Nation, Tuoba Kui personally ca out of the city to welco Nangong Yi and his entourage, and sincerely offered his surrender outside the city.
Since the other party had already conceded, Nangong Yi naturally reassured them with kind words before riding into the Royal City alongside Tuoba Kui.
Cai Wei, dressed in a guard’s uniform, stealthily walked behind the group of silver-armored guards, not daring to let her guard down for a mont, fearing that the people of the ng Slaves might conjure up so tricks against that man.
Luckily, Tuoba Kui was a man who kept his word.
Having promised to surrender, he truly placed himself in the position of a conquered nation, eting all the demands proposed by the Great Jin Nation, except for the abolishnt of the “Daughter’s Rites.” Neither Tuoba Kui nor the ng aristocrats agreed to this, and they strongly resisted.
“Your Highness King Qin, having our won undergo ‘Daughter’s Rites’ is a rule that our ng won have observed for thousands of years to prove their chastity.
Moreover, our ancestors once said that there are filthy things between a woman’s legs that can cause n to degenerate; therefore, ng won must follow this ritual.
In this way, won can remain chaste, and n will not fall into degradation.
Even if only one man is left in ng, we will never allow the ancestral rites to be abolished!”
“Your Highness King Qin, is the Great Jin Nation interfering with our ng Slaves’ won undergoing ‘Daughter’s Rites’ because you covet our won and want to take them away from us?”
“Pop—”
Hearing a ng aristocrat’s question, Cai Wei almost laughed out loud.
She quickly covered her mouth, forcefully holding back her laughter.
The ng people are characterized by their tall and strong builds, broad faces, small eyes, high cheekbones, and slightly thick lips—common to both n and won.
They do not compare to the delicate appearances of won from the Great Jin Nation.
The round-waisted won of ng are simply not favored by n in the Great Jin Nation.
Only those who cannot find a wife would marry one.
Anyone with a better family status would definitely not consider it.
Therefore, regarding what a certain ng person said about people from the Great Jin Nation coveting their won, Cai Wei felt it was nothing short of ridiculous, beyond the shock of thunder.
Nangong Yi was also stunned by this statent.
His mouth twitched, and he silently glanced at a certain point among the group of guards behind him.
Heaven and Earth as witnesses, he had always been interested in that woman, hadn’t he?
Yet he saw that woman pressing her forehead, herself disheveled in the wind…
As for the negotiation over the abolition of the “Daughter’s Rites,” the opinions of the ng aristocrats were surprisingly unanimous—no one agreed to abolish it.
If the Great Jin Nation insisted on this, they would rather fight to the death, even if it ant dying on the battlefield, to resist to the end!
This situation was sothing Nangong Yi had anticipated, but it caught Cai Wei off guard.
When she saw the impassioned ng n and then Nangong Yi’s helpless face, she made her ultimate concession.
Within three years, no household in ng could perform the “Daughter’s Rites” on any girl.
Anyone who defied this and circumcised a girl within three years would be charged with grievous harm and punished by amputation of the hands!
Nangong Yi did not understand why Cai Wei insisted that ng must not perform the Daughter’s Rites for three years, and after that they could do as they wished.
But he cherished Cai Wei deeply, so he did not question her.
Since the three-year term was her wish, he fully trusted her and satisfied her unconditionally, what else could he do?
