The king of Shache asked Weng Guimi and Liu Ye to be his heir to the throne, and then the prince of Qiuzi, Jiangbin, asked them to marry him, insisting on marrying his younger brother Shi.

These two things seem to be good things in pairs, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, Weng Guimi's first thought is that in this way, he can form an alliance with the Shache Kingdom and the Qiuzi Kingdom to consolidate Wusun's own power. But if he takes into account his children's feelings, he can't make up his mind right away.

Liu Ye saw that Di Shi did not have a special impression of this Qiuzi prince, so he went to discuss with Feng Yan, if Di Shi insisted on disagreeing with this marriage, she would definitely not be reluctant. Compared with Wusun's future development, the happiness of her children is what she cares about the most.

Sure enough, when he heard that Jiang Bin asked his father and mother for marriage, his younger brother Shi was at a loss, and he immediately panicked and retreated again and again, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Brother Shi, don't panic, don't be afraid, your mother just came to ask for your opinion, and she didn't force you to marry someone you don't like, everything is discussed, if you don't agree, no one will force you." Feng Yan looked panicked when she saw her, thinking that she thought that Liu Ye had already agreed to this family business.

"Queen Mother......" Brother Shi really thought that Weng Guimi and Liu Ye had already agreed to Jiangbin, and Feng Yan's words made her see hope again, "Queen Mother, you and your father haven't promised him yet, have you?" ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly, walked over and sat beside her, stroked the long hair in her ear, and said softly: "Silly child, this is your lifelong event, without your consent, how can the queen mother and father make decisions without your consent." ”

Hearing this, Brother Shi breathed a sigh of relief and reddened his eyes gratefully: "Queen Mother, thank you, thank you and Father, I thought it was ...... just now."

"Where do you want to see your family like this!" Liu Ye hugged her into his arms and patted her stiff back, "It's just that you have to get married sooner or later, and the queen mother hasn't asked you yet, what kind of man do you like?" ”

The chic figure of ten thousand years appeared in the mind of the younger brother, but she immediately shook her head: "I don't like any kind of man and daughter, the daughter just wants to accompany the queen mother and the father." ”

Liu Ye's heart warmed, remembering her former self, whether it was in modern times or after time travel, whenever her mother said something similar, she would deny that she wanted to get married, but at that time, she didn't have anyone she liked in her heart, and she couldn't think of who she would meet in the future. Hearing her brother Shi say the same today, she couldn't help but think a lot, if everyone could predict the person they would meet in the future, maybe there would be no surprise of meeting and sadness of separation!

"The queen mother is reluctant to let you go, but it is normal for men to marry and women to get married, and it is a necessary process in life. Brother Shi, although you will always be a child in the eyes of your father and mother, you are growing up day by day, and there are some things that you need to experience in person to understand. Besides, it is impossible for your parents to stay with you for a lifetime, you always have to find a partner who is in love. ”

Brother Shi listened carefully to her, and nodded thoughtfully: "The queen mother hopes that her daughter will find a good partner as good as her father like you, right?" Well, the people on the grassland are saying that the relationship between the father and the queen mother is the best, you are a pair made in heaven, a pair favored by God! ”

A look of embarrassment flashed in Liu Ye's eyes: "My brother will definitely live happier than his mother in the future, if a lifelong partner can't be happy with each other, how can he be happy!" ”

Brother Shi blinked: "What does the queen mother mean by saying this?" ”

Feng Yan said twice, and quickly diverted the topic: "What your queen mother means is that husband and wife can be happy for a lifetime, just like you, the prince likes you, but you don't like others, this is not a happy relationship." ”

"Then I don't like him, it's not on purpose, I don't like it, I don't like it, what can I do?" Brother Shi's mind returned to this matter, and he pouted aggrievedly.

"Hey, speaking of which, you just met someone, why don't you like it, Prince Jiangbin has a soft spot for you, and when he asked your father and mother to kiss, he said a lot of touching words, and he also vowed to be good to you for the rest of his life." Feng Yan continued to tease her.

Brother Shi blushed and shook his head: "What, whoever wants him to be good to me, I'm not rare." I don't like people who seem to be lazy or lazy, whether they're princes or whoever. ”

"It's not right for you to say that, you don't like people, and you can't say that people are lazy!"

"Who said no, you see that he has a wide waist and a fat body, a face full of meat, a frivolous speech, and a frivolous demeanor, what is this kind of person who is not lazy and lazy? And he was also born in a royal family, and he didn't care about his cultivation at all, even if he was not a person who abandoned chaos in the future, with him, life would be extremely boring. ”

Feng Yan listened to what her brother Shi said, and followed her words and said, "Then what kind of person do you think can bring you happiness?" ”

"At least, you can't be so fat, it doesn't matter if you're handsome or not, the most important thing is that he's talented, as long as a person is talented, no matter how he looks, he looks good. Also, it is better for him to have the ability to protect his family and defend the country, as a man, if he can't even protect his beloved things, wouldn't it be very cowardly? In addition, he is not only a respected warrior, but also can treat the woman he loves with tenderness......" Brother Shi said, feeling embarrassed again.

"Oh, it turns out that you like men who are both strong and soft, and you must also have knowledge and talent, both the ability to strategize, and the affection that is as gentle as water. Hehe, our younger brother Shi has really grown up, and he has a good eye for men. Feng Yan saw that she answered so categorically, and she was a little curious, "Wait a minute, could it be that you already have someone in your heart?" ”

"No, no, I didn't say that I had someone in mind......" Brother Shi was afraid that Liu Ye and Feng Yan would find out her secret, so she jumped up and rushed out of the door, "I'm going to feed the lamb......"

Brother Shi left in a hurry, not noticing the sad Prince of Guizi who was hiding on the side, Jiang Bin was full of hope and wanted to go back to his parents to ask for marriage again, and before leaving, he missed his brother Shi and came to say goodbye to her. Unexpectedly, I didn't have a chance to say goodbye, and I accidentally heard this conversation.

Knowing that his younger brother Shi didn't like him, and even hated himself, Jiangbin didn't mention how sad he was. finally met a woman who was excited, but was disgusted by the other party, disgusted that he had no talent, and was a straw bale dressed in the gorgeous coat of the royal family but with an empty belly.

Jiangbin is a very persistent person in love, and he doesn't want to use his parents' hands to put pressure on Wusun, and he barely gets a woman who doesn't like him. It's just, how can he forget her, how can he make her change her mind? He couldn't think of an answer, he didn't know what he was going to do, he didn't know if they had a tomorrow.

A love affair that didn't start and ended in his unilateral lovelorn might not be called a love affair for him, but he would rather think so.

On the way back with Liu Ye, Feng Yan remembered what his brother Shi said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem: "Princess, the person that Brother Shi described, how do I feel like Wan Nian?" ”

"Ten thousand years?" Liu Ye's deep worry reappeared in front of him, "No, the relationship between their brother and sister is very good, but it will not develop into love!" ”

"Don't forget, they are not really brother and sister, Brother Shi remembered it at that time, she knew that Wan Nian was not her own brother, even if she was in love, it would not be surprising. Wannian is outstanding in civil and military affairs, the girls on the grassland like him, and his younger brother Shi gets along with Wannian day and night, and it is easier to have feelings. Feng Yan was worried, "If that's the case, then you have to cut off her thoughts as soon as possible." ”

"Little sister......" Liu Ye stopped and looked at Feng Yan with a sad face, "Actually, I sometimes feel that there is a strange affection between their brothers and sisters, but I can't be sure, and I don't want to think so." After all, Di Shi is still young, she doesn't know the weight, not to mention that she has been protected by Wannian since she was a child, and she relies on him very much from the bottom of her heart, this dependence can be out of family affection or ......"

"No, even if Brother Shi can't tell whether it's family affection or something else, Wannian should know how to be proportionate." Liu Ye dispelled that ridiculous thought, "I believe that Wan Nian will not have this kind of intention, as long as Wan Nian does not respond, after a long time, Brother Shi will naturally give up." ”

"Not necessarily." Feng Yan disagreed with Liu Ye's words, "Princess, do you know, every time Wannian goes on an expedition, Brother Shi will look at the opportunity to ask Chang Hui about the situation, I didn't think much about it before, but now it seems that she deliberately came to Chang Hui instead of asking you and the king, precisely because she was afraid of being seen by you." ”

Liu Ye frowned: "They had a very good relationship when they were children, I thought it was brother and sister love, at that time, Lord Zhao had just passed away, and there were no relatives in the Western Regions for ten thousand years, so I let them become real brothers and sisters." In the past few years, I haven't paid special attention to my brother's thoughts, but I didn't expect it to become like this now. ”

"Princess, I don't blame you for this, I'm just casually talking about a girl of my age, who doesn't have a hero to admire in her heart! Maybe it's the dependence on Wannian in the majority, she is so young, where does she understand true love. Feng Yan comforted, "Even if Brother Shi has that affection, he can't be alone for long, just watch more in the future." ”

Liu Ye didn't say much, and in the evening, he brought the beef noodles he made by himself to Wan Nian, who was looking at the parchment rolls and smelling the aroma of the beef noodles, and knew that Liu Ye made it.

"Queen Mother, why did you come here in person?" Wan Nian hurriedly took the food box and helped Liu Ye into the yurt.

Liu Ye looked at the handsome Wannian and said with a smile: "You came back from the border this time, our mother and son haven't spoken properly, okay, you eat quickly, and we'll chat after eating." ”

Wan Nian lowered his head and smelled the fragrant face, and closed his eyes intoxicated, "It's so fragrant, I'm moving!" ”

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Liu Ye looked at him gobbling up and remembered how he was when he was a child, Lord Zhao usually likes to make noodles for the two children, and Wan Nian and Di Shi like to eat it. After Wannian became the general of Wusun, he rarely had time to come back, and no one at the border made Han noodles for him to eat. Therefore, every time Wannian returns to the grassland, Liu Ye will personally cook and cook a few hometown delicacies that he misses.

"Queen Mother, I'......m done eating" Wan Nian wiped his mouth, looked at Liu Ye, who was full of worries, and said bluntly, "Mother is looking for her son, is there something to say, not just chat!" ”

Liu Ye nodded: "Yes, the queen mother has something on her mind, and now she can't hide it from your eyes." Ten thousand years, today the king of Shache has made a request to your father, and he intends you to inherit the throne of Shache. ”

Wan Nian was stunned, he was not familiar with the king of Shache Kingdom, and he couldn't remember what he had dealt with before, how could he be chosen as the heir.

"Did Father agree?"

"No, your father meant to respect your decision, if you don't want to ......"

"I do!" Wan Nian said calmly, "Queen Mother, I am willing to accept the request of the king of Shache to inherit the throne. ”

"Wannian, the queen mother knows that you want to repay us, but it may not be in this way, you are now defending the stability of Wusun, your father and I are already very grateful, how can we be willing to send you to Shache country, so that you are always in the struggle for power?" Liu Ye expressed his worries, "Although the king of Shache Country takes a fancy to your talent and is willing to pass on the throne to you, there are definitely people in the royal family of Shache Country who are not convinced, and they are bound to target you everywhere." ”

"Mother, I know, even if that's the case, I'm willing to give it a try." Wan Nian said with a calm expression, "Now Wusun's situation is much more stable than in previous years, and with the help of the Han army stationed in Dawan, Erchen has long been planning what to do to better maintain Wusun's position in the Western Regions." Although the Shache State was not a powerful country, its geographical conditions were relatively favorable, and if it developed in the future, it could also pose a threat to the Xiongnu if it joined forces with Wusun. ”

"Then don't you think about it for yourself? The queen mother really doesn't want you to think only about Wusun. Liu Ye was very distressed to see him so sensible, "The royal family dispute is more difficult and complicated than you leading troops to fight, and it is not easy for you to fight against the entire royal family alone, it is much more difficult than your father back then." ”

Wan Nian Wan'er smiled: "Without the queen mother and father, there will be no sons, and the sons and daughters do this, not only for the stability of Wusun, but also for their own filial piety, won't the queen mother give me this opportunity?" ”

Liu Ye smiled helplessly: "Okay, since you insist, the queen mother won't say much." But you have to remember that your father and mother are always your back. ”

"Well, with the support of my father and mother, I am full of confidence no matter where my son is." Wannian paused, and said, "There is a sentence that I don't know if I should say or not......

"Wan Nian, you say, there is no need for birth between our mother and son."

"After the son leaves, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the father and the queen mother, and the son hopes that the queen mother can cultivate more Yuan Guimi and plan for his future." After Wan Nian finished saying this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee for Liu Ye, "The son knows that he is guilty, and he shouldn't ask about the affairs of the royal family, but the queen mother, you also have to think about your own future, and now the father and the king are in power to hold the hearts and minds of the people, why bother to care about Xu Qige's mother and son, Nimi is gentle and humble on the surface, but he is ruthless, and the son is worried, worried ......"

Liu Ye helped him up and smiled with relief: "The queen mother knows what you are worried about, but your father promised to take the throne of Wusun first, and he will inherit the throne of Wusun in the future." If you go back on your word, I'm afraid it will be true. Your father and I have nothing to worry about, we just hope that your brothers and sisters will have a good life. As for the future of the queen mother, you don't have to worry about it, the queen mother already has a plan in her heart. ”

"What is the queen mother's plan? If Nimi succeeds to the throne, he will no longer pursue his father's pro-Han policy, and he will turn around and befriend the Xiongnu. In this way, isn't the queen mother's hard work over the years in vain? ”

"Having said that, but now is different from the past, the current Wusun has changed a lot from more than ten years ago, even if Nimi intends to get rid of the big man, I am afraid that it is not enough! The prestige of the Han is enough to deter the Western Regions, and the vast majority of the elders and ministers in the Wusun Dynasty support your father's pro-Han policy, and just one mud is not enough to shake the influence of the Han in the Western Regions. ”

Wannian pondered for a moment, and finally relieved: "Maybe the sons are too worried, and the queen mother must be more thoughtful." ”

When the news of the throne of the king of Shache spreading to Wan Nian spread, the happiest people were counted, and she could not wait to tell the good news to her precious son Nimi.

"Mi'er, Mi'er, my mother just heard a big good news, that kid is going to get out of Wusun in ten thousand years, haha, he will never come back in this life, and he can no longer be a threat to you, my mother is still thinking about how to pull out this thorn in the eye, it turns out that God has already arranged it."

Nimi wiped his saber and said without raising his head: "He was not my threat in the first place, but now, he actually has a bargaining chip." ”

Su Qige asked puzzledly, "Where did you start with this?" He is no longer the general of Wusun, what can he do if he goes to that Shache country where birds don't! Even if he becomes king, he can't compare to a tribal leader in Wusun! ”

"But he owns the whole country of Shache, he is the king above all men, and when I become king, he will be my equal." Ni Mi squinted his eyes at Suqige.

"This, this ......," Xu Qige smiled wryly, "that's what he said, but how can he compare with you, a small Shache country, where can he compare with Wusun, a powerful country in the Western Regions." ”

"Ten years ago, Wusun was almost annexed by the Xiongnu." Nimi put down his sword and turned to face his mother, who was too happy for him, "Wan Nian has never been a threat to me, and it is precisely because he knows this truth that he will happily agree to inherit the throne of Shache Kingdom." He wanted to compete with me, and the path was barely viable. Mother, haven't you figured it out yet? The only person who can threaten me is Yuan Guimi. ”

"Yuan Guimi?" Xu Qige was even more like falling into a five-mile fog, "He's still a ten-year-old child, and he can't compete with you!" ”

"He is the child of Uncle Wang, and he is also the orthodox heir to the throne." Nimi reminded.

Xu Qige was speechless, she was on guard for more than 10,000 years, but she didn't expect to prevent the wrong person in the end. Ten thousand years are gone, and there is still Yuan Guimi, who is fully qualified to inherit the throne. Now the whole grassland is Weng Guimi, he and Liu Ye are in full swing, what will she, the Hun princess who has lost her backing, compete with them? Weng Guimi doesn't seem to have forgotten the promise he made back then, but who can guarantee that he has no selfish intentions, if he is determined to pass on the throne to Yuan Guimi, who has the ability to stop it? Who can tell her how their mother and son can reclaim the throne of Wusun!
