Asking for marriage

Su Meng said respectfully: "I hope that the Queen Mother and you will wait for me to prepare a little!" ”

Su Meng left to change clothes, Cherry and Chunlan hurriedly let the band move their instruments to the stage, and whispered: "It's up to you!" ”

On that day, Su Meng said that he wanted to invite musicians and dancers, and Cherry went directly to the music hall to invite a band back, and Su Meng listened to the musical instruments one by one, and then chose musical instruments and highly skilled musicians, and began rehearsals.

The people sitting on both sides looked curiously at the band that walked in, a pipa, a guqin, a small and delicate basket, a large drum, two strong men holding sticks and swords, and two ladies holding two plates of soybeans with a sieve.

Guo Niyun looked at these people and muttered angrily, "Just a little musical instrument, why are you moving so much?" ”

Many aristocratic women next to her whispered to her, and suddenly the whole field quieted down, the woman next to Guo Niyun looked out fixedly, Guo Niyun pouted dissatisfiedly, and looked back to see the woman who came against the light.

She wore a moon-white fine-grained brocade shirt with a crop top, a pair of light blue soft silk silk culottes on the bottom, her black hair was pulled into a lily bun, her eyebrows were pure and beautiful, she walked briskly, the jade beads hanging from her shirt and culottes made a crisp sound, and the goose-yellow cloud silk yarn on her lotus arm was blowing in the wind, like a fairy who fell into the world in a hurry.

Guo Niyun saw countless men staring at her and looked straight at her, and she was even more indignant, frowning and thinking in her heart, "It's a demon girl!" ”

Su Meng stood in place, took the sword handed over by the strong man behind him, drew the sword, knelt down on one knee and respectfully raised the sword, high to the top of his forehead, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is above, this sword has not yet been opened, the chief guard can check it again!" ”

Emperor Su looked at the woman below, glanced sideways to signal the guard, and the guard wearing the black eagle armor walked in front of Su Ming, took the sword and looked at it carefully, knelt down and replied, "Back to the emperor, this sword is indeed not open!" ”

The emperor bowed his head, and the black-armored guards stepped aside. Su Meng inserted the sword into the scabbard, clenched his fist and said loudly to the envoys of various countries nearby, "I am Su Ming, I grew up in Liangcheng, and I have people who are familiar with the traders of various countries, and I know some customs more or less. ”

The envoy with a small bahu looked at her with a smile and said, "Our countries have been in friendly exchanges for hundreds of years, and the exchanges have become increasingly close, widely spread and gradually integrated, and coexistence and common prosperity have become the norm. Little girl, you can rest assured to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother! ”

This was said so cleverly that the messengers around him all chimed in and applauded. Ye Luqin tilted his head and held a cup to drink unwillingly, and his eyes glanced at Su Meng with a blank look.

Su Meng chuckled, "Thank you!" ”

Su Meng took a few steps back, left space, put the sword behind him, and said crisply: "The dance has officially begun!" ”

The musicians behind her instantly entered the state, the drums were struck three times, the sound of the pipa was crisp and pleasant like jade beads, Su Luo listened to the music, the jade feet stretched out lightly, the lotus arms were lightly relaxed, with the light and lively music, the eyes were joyful, the smile was charming, the three spins and one kick moved quickly, the dancing posture was graceful, the waist was soft and powerful, and the skirt was swaying.

Many foreign envoys who were disapprehended just now, looking at the familiar Hu Teng dance and listening to the cheerful rhythm, couldn't help but put down their wine glasses and stared at her every move seriously.

The high-pitched and loud music of the basket suddenly joined, and I saw Su Meng backhand in the back sword and turned out, his eyebrows and eyes were resolute, he stood on tiptoe with the sword and chuckled, and his toes were slightly like a fairy child who had just been given a sword, he was ecstatic, he opened his arms and raised his feet and flew with joy, his dark eyes and bright teeth, and it was difficult to hide his elegance.

The dress is swaying, the sound of the tranquil and distant guqin lingers into the ears, lingering and entangled, Su Meng swings the sword side by step, reflexively raises his hand to pick up the sword, and the action is continuous like a Changhong swimming dragon, head to end, slowly sending out and drawing, quiet and detached, with a serious look, like an immortal.

The guqin that was playing normally suddenly destringed at the musician's fingertips, making a trivial noise, and the sound of the grate was audible and melodious.

Su Ming's posture changed suddenly, she retreated sharply in a virtual step, lay down after flying, staring at the golden beam top of Qingshoutang with dilated pupils, a tear slipped down the corner of her eye, she still couldn't forget the fireball flying from the sky, the dark night lit up by the raging firelight, so many heroic soldiers, so many innocent people fell in the flames of war.

Su Meng stood firm, his eyes were red, he turned to look behind him in disbelief, his hands trembled slightly, he slowly fell to the ground, covering his face and sobbing.

Ye Luqin looked at Su Ming's small figure squatting on the ground, her inaudible sobbing sound came from her ears, her heart tightened, her fists clenched, and her eyes looked at her sadly, she was acting, acting in the scene that happened that day.

Huo Siwei looked at her worriedly, watching a few strings of water flow from her fingers, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, making it impossible to breathe.

Cherry and Chunlan looked at the trembling body of the young lady, held back the grief in their hearts, and gently shook the sieve basin in their hands, and the soybeans in the basin made a rustling sound, bringing everyone present into the battlefield where the yellow sand rolled and jumped.

Under the more intense beating of the drummer, the drums make a majestic and passionate sound. Su Meng stood on tiptoe with her sword, her red eyes flashed with a determined light, she turned around with her sword on her back, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and serious.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her seriously, Guo Niyun, who had always chatted and disdained her, looked at the woman who stood alone like a god in the fierce and magnificent drums.

Su Meng raised the sword in his hand, drew the sword out of the sheath, strode and squatted, raised the silver scabbard with his left hand to the height of his nose, and slapped the sword on the sheath with his right hand.

The official sitting at the front heard the sound of slapping, his hand trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Su Meng didn't stop, and then stepped on the other side to repeat the action just now, taking everyone's shocked expressions into his eyes, walking quickly and stabbing the sword, the action was fast and decisive, the point step was flat, turning around, swinging the sword cross-legged, dancing chic and beautiful, the action was like flowing water, the sword shadow was waving endlessly, and the silver-white streamer was dazzling.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting in a high position, looked at Su Ming, who was dancing with a sword and sweating, listening to the majestic drums, and suddenly remembered the scene of pointing the battlefield, wanton rampage, and forcing the enemy back with her husband in the high-pitched horn sound.

The majestic drum sound gradually became smaller, and the clear and high-pitched pipa sound gradually faded away, replaced by the ensemble of guqin silk tong and the mournful and mournful melody of the guqin, and the sad melody made many women cry.

Su Meng stiffly held the sword, looked around sadly, slowly put down the sword, dragged the sword and walked forward slowly, humming softly in his mouth.

Most people didn't understand what she was singing, looking at her desolate back, her lips opened lightly, her ethereal voice was intermittent, humming a minor tune, and some people even beat along.

The Gentile envoys looked at the woman in amazement, humming their song of wishes, and couldn't help singing along.

The Queen Mother looked at her with a sad expression, choked up and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The generals and officials who had experienced the war knew that she was singing in barbarian language, and they more or less understood the tune.

Huo Siwei quietly watched Su Ming's back, he had never heard a barbarian sing this song, to the effect:

"My dear Shenyin, I have never prayed for anything, and now I sincerely look forward to,

Our home is always safe!

Our soldiers return safely forever!

Our children will always be happy and carefree!

If I can't do it, let me trade my life for a wish!

I wish there would be no war and I would be happy and contented! ”

Su Meng repeated the chant twice, and the musician swept the seven strings of the guqin with his fingertips, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Su Meng pursed his lips and stood calmly and neatly with his sword on his back.

Everyone in the hall was silent, as if they had not yet come back to their senses, and they were immersed in it and could not extricate themselves.

Su Meng spoke up, "Queen Mother, the sword dance is over, I hope the Queen Mother likes it!" Thunderous applause suddenly sounded in the quiet hall.

Empress Dowager Xiaowu sat on the purple nanmu chair, her hands clapped slightly red, looked at her and said approvingly, "You are a person with a heart, and the mourning family will reward you heavily!" ”

Ye Luqin raised his eyebrows, his fingertips trembled slightly, stepped out, and said, "Queen Mother, I have a reluctant request!" ”

The Queen Mother swept her eyes, "King Qin has something to say!" ”

Ye Luqin lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "I fell in love with the county lord of Huiyu at first sight, and I want to ask to marry the county lord!" ”

The Queen Mother's face did not change, and others frowned invisibly. Emperor Su on the side said with a smile: "King Qin, it's really unfortunate, the county lord of Huiyu has already had a marriage contract!" ”

Seeing his mother's hesitation, Emperor Su immediately took over the topic, he still remembered the scene on the day of the wedding, leaving Huo Siwei's little nephew to ask questions, and the young man who had always been cold-faced suddenly knelt in front of him and said softly, I want to marry her!

He stood with his hands behind his back and said angrily: That little girl married you, but nothing can help you, her family background is not good, she is still young, and she is very likely to drag you back!

The young man did not waver in the slightest and said, I think she is very good, she has courage and courage, good looks, and good character, and she is more than enough for me!

Seeing the stinky boy who grew up begging for himself for the first time, he was dissatisfied and soft-hearted and agreed, and decided on this marriage.

Suddenly there was a Northern Barbarian King Qinwang, after watching Su Ming's sword dance, he came up and asked to marry, no matter what calculations he had, there was a deep feud between Beiban and Su Meng across the sea of blood, he couldn't let Huo Siwei and Su Ming, the pair of lovers, disappoint the soldiers who were still cold, and he couldn't let his subjects down!

Su Meng knelt on the ground and said loudly: "King Qin! ”

Ye Luqin looked back at her, staring at her in black and depressed eyes, looking at her mouth open and closed.

"I am in love with General Huo Xiao." Su Meng smiled lightly and looked at Huo Siwei gently.

The people sitting on the side first listened to Emperor Su's refusal, and then looked at their concubines, knowing that it was impossible for King Qin of the Northern Barbarians to succeed. Many women who are looking forward to canceling the marriage contract look at the interaction between the two and know that it is impossible.

"I have countless beauties in the country, if King Qin is for the harmony between the two countries and rebuild, you can choose another beauty!" Su Meng looked at Ye Luqin coldly.

Ye Luqin stiffly smiled and got up, "Since the girl doesn't want to, then, let's stop!" Jeluqin strode down and drank with a gloomy expression.
