❀ In 1178, in the wool pile, Genghis Khan had a relationship with a teenage girl, and this is the highest hospitality etiquette of the Mongolian people - meet the guest marriage, unexpectedly, after this, Genghis Khan later really came back to find this little girl, but unfortunately this girl already has a family.

Do you know? In the traditional Mongolian customs, there is a form of marriage called "guest marriage", which means that when a tribe receives foreign guests, it will give its daughter or sister to the guest overnight to show the highest respect and friendship, this marriage does not require any ceremony, does not need to bear any responsibility, just a short emotional exchange.

You may think this custom is strange and even absurd, but in the steppe, it is a common and ancient custom, and it is because of this kind of guest marriage that a moving love story on the steppe was born - the story of Genghis Khan and Hedaan.

Genghis Khan, whose name has left a mark on history, was the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the founder of the Mongol Empire, who conquered most of Eurasia and built a large and powerful empire, he was both a great and wise ruler and a brave and fearless warrior.

And Hedaan is a commoner woman in the Mongolian Taichi Ubu, she and Genghis Khan have been playmates since childhood, and they have a deep affection for each other, but because of the disparity in status, they did not have the opportunity to be together, and later Genghis Khan married the daughter of another tribal leader, Erthe, and Hedaan also married an ordinary herdsman.

They thought that their fate would end here, who knew that by chance, they met again, at that time, Genghis Khan was still called Temujin, a fugitive who was chased by the enemy, he was captured by Tari Kutai of Taichi Ubu, and was about to be taken back to be executed, on the way, they passed by the tribe where Hetaan was, and Hedaan accidentally found Temujin's figure, she risked her life, rescued him at night, and hid him in the wool pile.

That night, they embraced and fell in love in the wool pile, reliving their old love, and Hetaan used his body to express his loyalty and love for Temujin, who also promised her: if one day he could unify Mongolia, he would definitely return and marry her.

This is a dangerous and romantic encounter, but also an incredible agreement, neither Temujin nor Hedaan know that this parting will not be seen again until more than ten years later.

Temujin ran on the steppe for several years, and finally found a tribe to rely on - the Krebu of Wang Khan, a distant relative of Temujin and one of the most powerful chiefs on the Mongolian plateau, he regarded Temujin very seriously, regarded him as his son, and provided him with military and political support, Temujin also lived up to his expectations, made many achievements on the battlefield, and won Wang Khan's trust and praise.

With the help of Wang Khan, Temujin finally had his own tribe and married back to Temujin, who was Temujin's earliest marriage contract and his most faithful partner, she was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also brave and decisive, saving Temujin's life many times in critical situations, she was also one of Temujin's favorite wives, and gave him four sons, namely Tulei, Wokuotai, Chagatai and Xu Lieyu, all of whom later became important leaders of the Mongol Empire.

After Temujin had his own tribe, he began the great cause of unifying the Mongolian steppe, he successively eliminated the tribes such as Tatar, Naiman, and Cong'er Beggar, and absorbed their elite warriors, he also allied or intermarried with other tribes, expanded his sphere of influence, he adopted some advanced systems and laws, established a strong and disciplined army, he also reformed the written language and religion, and improved the cultural level and cohesion of the tribe.

Over the years, Temujin had not forgotten Hop Daan, but he had not seen her again, he did not know if she was still alive, if she remembered herself, he could only miss the past agreement, and occasionally think of that night in the wool pile.

It was not until 1204, when Temujin attacked Taichi Ubu, that he saw Hedaan again, Taichi Ubu is a tribe belonging to Tari Kutai, and one of the enemies who hunted down Temujin, it turned out that Hetaan married Ayuntai, the son of the leader of Taichi Ubu, Kuoyita, in order to protect himself, Ayuntai was killed in the war, and Hetaan was captured.

When Temujin saw Hemujin, he was pleasantly surprised, he found that although Hetaan was more than forty years old, he still maintained his beauty and temperament, and when he saw Temujin, he was also very excited, she begged Temujin to intercede, hoping that he would spare her parents and clansmen, Temujin not only did not refuse her request, but brought her back to her tribe.

Although Hetaan already had a marriage and children, Temujin still wanted to fulfill his promise to her, he adopted her as a concubine and honored her as empress, and Haktaan also became one of Temujin's favorite wives, and in just a few decades, they conquered vast lands from the Pacific to the Mediterranean, from the Arctic Circle to the Himalayas, and established one of the largest empires in world history, and Hetaan accompanied Genghis Khan until his death.
