Han Khan

Chapter 159, Pregnancy

Everyone in the tent looked at Zhang Sheng excitedly, and Zhang Zhongxian immediately said:
"My Lord, I will certainly arrange this marriage for you.

Your marriage is a big deal, I will never take it lightly. If Your Highness is willing, I can even go through Mobei and go south to the Central Plains for you, and it won't be a problem to find a daughter from a noble family in the Central Plains.

But I believe that there is no other suitable candidate in Jinhan than Princess Sarah, who comes from the Khan family of the Karakhanid Khanate.

The Seven Rivers Grassland and the various cities in the river are basically ruled by the descendants of Pang Teqin. Moreover, the princess is beautiful, manages her people well, and is extremely intelligent. If Your Highness can marry her, great things will be expected. She is the best marriage partner.

Moreover, if Your Highness marries Princess Sarah, Your Highness can legitimately attack the Karakhanid Khanate, and not only can you control the rich Seven Rivers Grassland and the cities in the river, but also become a great help to me. "

Indeed, for Zhang Sheng, marriage is not just a personal matter. To put it bluntly, it is politics and a big deal.

Since I am determined to build a country and let my people live a stable and peaceful life, I cannot act recklessly according to my own temper.

It doesn't matter what kind of personality she has, what she looks like, or whether she has talent or not. I will marry her even if she is a pig.

This is also the general view or value of people in this era. Moreover, on the grassland where blood ties are important, Zhang Sheng does not intend to violate this point. Moreover, Sarah is not ugly at all and is very beautiful.

After everyone left the felt tent, Zhang Sheng sat in the tent and thought for a while. He was about to get up and go out to inspect his troops and the young guards of the Eagle Guard who were being trained.

Suddenly, the guard came to report:
"Your Highness, Gunes and Ozlem are here."

These two people were the two women that Zhang Sheng took in to serve him when he conquered the Uighurs in Qilian Mountains.

Her figure and appearance were first-class in the eyes of both the Hu people and the Han people, especially Gunes, who already had a daughter, who was even more graceful.

After returning to the camp after conquering the Dubo tribe, Zhang Sheng, in addition to practicing martial arts and inspecting his tribe every day, often stayed with the two men in their tents at night.

I don’t know what happened between the two of them after not seeing them for a day.

"Let them in!" said Zhang Sheng.

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was drawn open, and they all looked at Zhang Sheng with charming smiles on their faces and walked towards him slowly.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The two of them bowed in unison and spoke in elegant language.

"Get up, you are learning the elegant language better and better. What do you want to see me about today?" Zhang Sheng asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, we sisters heard that you are going to get married, so we came here to congratulate you." Gunes said in a soft voice.

Zhang Sheng paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "How did you know that? Don't worry, even if I get married, I won't let you two down for your companionship!"

Gunness said:
"I saw the chief priest, accompanied by several guards, carrying wild geese and lambs, visit Ilhan Teqin's tent. My teacher told me that this was a custom of the Han wedding, and I understood it!"

Zhang Sheng nodded when he heard this. This was the wedding process of the Tang people.

At this time, Ozlem's eyes turned and she looked charming, "Your Highness, will you still need us sisters to serve you in the future?"

Gunes, a Sai woman from the ancient land of Loulan, was abducted by the Uighur leader Tuger and gave birth to a daughter.

After being killed by Tuger Zhang Sheng, she became Zhang Sheng's woman, and her daughter also became Zhang Sheng's daughter.

She followed Zhang Sheng's tribe and migrated all the way north from Qilian Mountain to Jinshan. Needless to say, the journey was very difficult. She knew how to please men very well. Zhang Sheng, a novice in his life, was fascinated by her, but not obsessed with her.

The same was true for Ozlem, who was about the same age as Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng quickly helped the two girls up and comforted them softly:

"Don't worry, you are all my women, I will never treat you unfairly, from now on you will stay by my side and serve me as before."

Hearing this, the two girls felt relieved and smiled happily on their faces.

They all knew that they were of humble origins and were not qualified to become His Highness's wife.

But as long as they can stay with him all the time, that's good. In this way, they can not only ensure their own safety.

If they can also have the opportunity to give birth to children for him, then their status in Jinhan will definitely be greatly improved.

After all, in this era, a woman's fate is often closely linked to her husband, and Zhang Sheng and the Jinhan tribe are now the most powerful monarchs and tribes in the entire Jinshan area, which is a broad sky for them.

The reason why the two of them came to the big tent together was to tell Zhang Sheng about this.

One of the women shyly said, "Your Highness, we came to see you today because... we two have been pregnant for a month, so we came here to tell you this good news."

When Zhang Sheng heard the news, he immediately stood up and looked at the two of them in surprise.

“You guys…! Really?”

The two of them nodded happily.

Seeing this scene, "Hahaha, this is really great!" Zhang Sheng laughed happily.

He stretched out his hands and gently stroked Gunes and Özlem's stomachs, feeling the beating of the new life, his eyes full of anticipation.

"That means next year, my Zhang family will have an heir. This is a great joy! You should take good care of yourself.

I will give you two ten female slaves and ten rolls of silk each, and I will serve you two all day long. If you have any needs, just tell me and I will satisfy you. After you give birth to children for me, I will reward you two handsomely. "

With a happy face, he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhang Sheng looked at the two beauties in front of him, his heart filled with emotion.

Finally, in this world, he will have his own children. In his two lifetimes, he has never had children of his own. Now his two daughters are pregnant with his children. Although they are not legitimate children, he will never treat them unfairly.

He turned around to look at the holy flag on the tent, then bowed.

"God of Heaven will protect you and my children!"

He said this in a firm tone, his eyes full of expectation and confidence for the future.

…………

On the fifth day of the winter month of the Year of the Dog, outside the temple camp at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, in the felt tent of the Karakhanid leader who had fled from the Seven Rivers, Sarah was sitting in it, embroidering and sewing. Her hands were busy, but her thoughts drifted to Zhang Sheng.

Suddenly she stopped working and looked at the hand that she and Zhang Sheng had held tightly that night, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She missed her hero, the man who saved her and her brother's lives and took her and her brother in. Thinking of how Zhang Sheng exchanged glances with her that night, and how their hearts gradually grew closer through music and dance, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
