After the outing meeting, Weng Guimi and Liu Ye continued to entertain distinguished guests from various countries, among the many distinguished guests, the most honorable status was the king of Shache Kingdom, followed by the prince of Qiuzi, and although the rest of the countries sent were not the reigning crown princes, they were all important figures in the royal family.

Wan Nian won a lot of praise at the outing meeting, and his sister Brother Shi couldn't help but perform, she dressed up as a dancer, and danced a dance she choreographed in front of the distinguished guests, integrating the softness of the Han Dynasty and the enthusiasm of the Western Regions, which attracted everyone's attention and applause.

After dancing a song, Brother Shi took off his veil, came to Liu Ye with a slight gasp, and called shyly: "Queen Mother." ”

"It turns out that this is Princess Dishi, I heard that her dances are all passed down by the queen, no wonder they are so beautiful." Some of the distinguished guests praised on the spot.

"Princess Dishi is not only talented, but also the first beauty in the Western Regions, Fang Cai's dancing is indescribably beautiful, just like a fairy in heaven." Everyone witnessed the beauty of the younger brother and admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Ye looked at Brother Shi's appearance of a little like Princess Xijun, and said with a slight smile: "You are really overrated, Brother Shi is just a child, where can he be called the first beauty." ”

"Worthy of it, worthy of it." Prince Qiuzi raised his glass to Weng Guimi and Liu Ye, his mouth was like honey, "If the queen is willing to give up the title of the first beauty to Princess Dishi, then she will definitely be able to be called." ”

"Prince Jiangbin is really good at laughing." Liu Ye held his younger brother's slender little hand, noticed that Jiang Bin's eyes were glued to his younger brother's body, and thought that this prince from Qiuzi must have been attracted by her beauty.

Although the relationship between Qiuci and Wusun has improved a lot in recent years compared to before, Liu Ye still has a grudge against the "unprofessional" King Qiuci, and the prince in front of him will inherit the throne in a few years, and it is estimated that he will be like his father, and he will not be able to achieve any climate. This is not Liu Ye's prejudice, it can be imagined just by looking at Jiangbin's speech and demeanor, Jiangbin doesn't seem to care about anything, except for eating, drinking, and enjoying life, he has no opinions.

Even if Jiang Bin is interested in his younger brother's history, Liu Ye does not plan to push the boat with the current, and a king who does not seek progress cannot govern his country well, nor does he know how to cherish a woman. Even if Jiang Bin was willing to marry his younger brother Shi as the queen, Liu Ye couldn't easily agree.

"It's just telling the truth, and it's really no joke." Jiang Bin laughed heartily, and was not in a hurry to entangle his younger brother, and raised his glass to the king of Shache and the other distinguished guests beside him.

Brother Shi is now a twenty-eight-year-old girl, although she is not mature and sophisticated, she can also see the other party's intentions. The prince of the turtles did not look very old, but he was in his twenties, but he was slightly chubby and tall, as strong as a herdsman everywhere on the grasslands. This size is not uncommon among the royal family, who usually can wield swords and swords or are good at riding and archery. And this kind of person has another similarity, that is, they have a relatively hot temper, and they will scold and even beat people at every turn.

Qiuzi is the capital of art, and several envoys I have seen in the past are polite, but I never thought that their prince would be like this. Brother Shi thinks so, not because she is prejudiced against people like herdsmen and martial artists, but because she prefers to be elegant and handsome compared to sturdy men, such as Wannian.

Brother Shi and Wan Nian have been brother and sister for ten years, and she knows in her heart that they can only be a pair of brothers and sisters in this life, but I don't know when she started to see Wan Nian as a brother, but as her protector, and secretly like him.

Wannian became the general of Wusun and practiced good skills, but he was a Han after all, and no matter how much he strengthened his training, he couldn't become a native of the Western Regions. Far from being too rough, his strong physique added to the masculine charm. Brother Shi didn't dare to think that they could become lovers from brother and sister, but he just hoped to find a man like him in the future.

"After the mother, my brother Shi wanted to go back and change his clothes, so he retired first." Brother Shi found an excuse and couldn't wait to get out of here, Jiang Bin looked at her from time to time, and she was uncomfortable.

"Okay, you go and rest." Liu Ye has been with her for many years, so he naturally knows what she thinks in her heart, and hurriedly agreed.

Jiang Bin's eyes followed the departing younger brother Shi, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around at this moment, he really wanted to step forward to stop her and show her his heart. He was the future king of Qiuzi, and over the years the king and queen had introduced him to many young, beautiful and noble women, but he could not see them. As the prince of Qiuzi, he will never lack women, and it is not very difficult to find a wife with a matching identity, I believe that as long as he nods, I don't know how many women will take the initiative to give him a hug.

However, Jiang Bin feels that if he wants to find a lifelong partner who is in love, he must not be sloppy or give in in the slightest. Whether his ideal partner is noble or not, whether his skills are outstanding or not, the first thing is to be able to make him tempted and make him feel that she is indispensable.

It's easy to say, but it's never been felt in reality, but today, Jiang Bin has really found it. At the first sight of his brother, he knew that he had found it, and he just wanted to hug this woman and stay with her forever, for her, he could do nothing, even if it was to sacrifice his throne.

Seeing his younger brother Shi leave, Jiang Bin also made up his mind, he would marry her no matter what, and when the banquet was over, he would ask the king and queen of Wusun for marriage.

Finally, he stayed up until the end of the banquet, but saw the king of the Shache Kingdom beside him pay a tribute to the king and queen of Wusun a piece of porcelain from the Han Dynasty, and invited them to appreciate it together. The other guests had to go first, and everyone wondered what the king of Yarkand really meant.

Everyone knew that the king of Shache asked the king and queen of Wusun to appreciate the porcelain was not the ultimate goal, Weng Guimi and Liu Ye of course also thought of it, they were not in a hurry to speak, they just concentrated on tasting the porcelain, as if they did not guess each other's minds.

"King, Queen......" The king of Shache said, seeing that everyone else was far away, leaned closer and said, "Is this porcelain from the Han Dynasty of the highest quality?" I don't know if it's too shabby as a gift. ”

"This porcelain is indeed of the highest quality, even in the Han Dynasty, except for the palace can be seen, ordinary people have no chance to see it." Liu Ye affirmed the value of porcelain.

The king of the country of Shache was overjoyed: "Since even the queen has said so, this king has no need to worry. This porcelain was originally given to this king by a county king of Shache as a birthday gift, if the king and queen do not dislike it, please accept it! ”

Weng Guimi hurriedly shirked: "I can't help it, this is too precious, you don't need to see outside, if you have something to say, just say it, if you can help, this king will do his best." ”

Weng Guimi opened the skylight and said bright words, and the king of Shache Country did not beat around the bush: "To be honest, the people of Shache Country have admired the prestige of the Han Dynasty for a long time, and they also want to learn all kinds of advanced skills and live a rich life." I don't dare to compare with Wusun, I just want to change the status quo. ”

Liu Ye nodded, when the king of Shache Kingdom came in person, she expected that he had something to ask for, she didn't speak, and listened to him continue: "This king came today, first, to show his sincerity to the king and queen and form an ally, and secondly, there is a reluctant invitation......

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Weng Guimi encouraged.

The king of Shache Kingdom pondered for a moment and said: "I just saw the heroic appearance of the general of ten thousand years, and I can't help but think of the time when this king was young, but the years are unforgiving, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and this king is already a late man. It's just that this king has always had something on his mind that he can't let go, that is, he has no heirs under his knees for many years, and when he thinks of the country that he worked so hard to fight down in the past, he doesn't know who will inherit it in the future, and this king will not be able to sleep and eat! ”

"Therefore, this king made this reluctant request to pass the throne of the Shache Kingdom to the Great General of Wannian, and he will inherit everything in the Shache Kingdom."

Weng Guimi and Liu Ye looked at each other, and couldn't help but be shocked by the decision of the king of Shache Kingdom, although he had no biological heirs, he would not want people from other countries to inherit the throne, he said this just to make them further convinced of his sincerity.

Liu Ye put the porcelain back into the wooden box, gently pushed it in front of the king of Shache Kingdom, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's intention to form an alliance with Wusun is also an honor for Wusun, Your Majesty appreciates the glory of ten thousand years, and how dare you covet the throne." ”

The king of Shache was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The queen has misunderstood, this king is by no means deliberately flattering, and everything he said is true!" Yes, this king still has brothers, and it is not necessary to find someone who is not related by blood to inherit the throne, but this king knows very well in his heart that those brothers and their descendants do not have the demeanor of a king of a country, they lack the ability and no far-sighted ambition, they are content with the status quo and do not want to forge ahead, how can this king rest assured that the throne will be passed on? ”

"Since ancient times, the king of a country will only pass on the throne to his relatives, but this king does not think so, no matter who he is, as long as he has the ability to govern the country well and can lead the country to prosperity and strength, then he is a true king. This king is interested in the general of Wannian, not to please Wusun and take the opportunity to get closer to Wusun, but to really take a fancy to the general of Wannian is a monarch. Without this conviction, how could this king be assured of entrusting him with the future of the kingdom of Shache! ”

The words of the king of Shache Country came from the heart, Liu Ye could hear that he was serious, but she still had concerns: "Your Majesty, we understand your intentions, but even if you succeed to the throne in ten thousand years, it will attract many doubts, I think, this is not appropriate." ”

"Queen, what you think in your heart, this king knows. Rest assured, if you agree, this king will remove all obstacles for the Great General of Ten Thousand Years and ensure that he will have no worries in the future. In fact, this king doesn't want any of his relatives to succeed to the throne, but they are too uncompetitive, and if they put the Shache Kingdom into their hands, they will die sooner or later. But the general of Wannian is different, he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and the Shache Kingdom handed it to him, and this king believes that he can make some merits. ”

The words of the king of Shache were very clear, but the stakes were very high, and it was not appropriate to reply to him immediately, so Weng Guimi said, "Can we think about it?" ”

"Of course, of course, you are the father and queen mother of the Great General of Ten Thousand Years, of course, you have to think about it. Moreover, he is the general of Wusun, and he has the important task of protecting his family and defending the country, and this king promises you that he will not let him go to Shache Country immediately, if you agree, when this king returns to the west, it will not be too late for the general of Wannian to succeed him. ”

"Okay, we'll get back to you as soon as we think about it."

After sending away the king of Shache Country, Weng Guimi wanted to ask Liu Ye's opinion: "Queen, what do you think of this matter, is it really appropriate to let Wan Nian inherit Shache Kingdom?" ”

Liu Ye thought for a while and said, "Great King, I know what you are afraid of in your heart, but I think what the king said just now is reasonable, for him, how to continue the future of the Shache Kingdom is very important, let Wannian inherit his throne, not only can get more powerful support from Wusun, but also enough to deter those small countries that are about to move, so this is beneficial and harmless." On the contrary, for Wusun, it is not a bad thing to have one more ally, and if the Xiongnu invade Wusun again in the future, they can also get more assistance. Ten thousand years of inheriting the throne of Shache is good for both Shache and Wusun. ”

"So you mean, you promised him?" Weng Guimi nodded, "I think so too, I just don't know if he wants to do it for ten thousand years." ”

"Well, now it's up to Wan Nian's wishes, King, why don't I ask Wan Nian first, if he wants, we will return to the throne of Shache, if he just wants to stay in Wusun, we don't have to force it."

"Yes, just do it, you must not force it for 10,000 years, 10,000 years have been in Wusun since he was a child, and he has had feelings for so many years, and this grassland is his home."

Liu Ye planned to go to Wan Nian and ask him about his wishes, and as soon as she and Weng Guimi walked out of the yurt, they saw the prince of Qiuzi, who had not left for a long time.

Jiang Bin waited for them, then smiled, and knelt down on one knee: "King, queen, please agree to Jiang Bin's reluctant invitation!" ”

Another reluctant invitation! It's just that Liu Ye quickly thought of what he was asking for, and Weng Guimi hurriedly helped him up and said, "Prince Jiangbin has something to say!" ”

Jiang Bin said happily: "Yes, please marry the king and the queen princess Jiang Dishi to me, I swear that I will treat her well in the future and make her the happiest woman in the world." If I succeed to the throne in the future, she will be the queen, and I promise the king and the queen that there will be no one in the harem but the queen. ”

Such a guarantee sounds quite tempting, Weng Guimi understands that Jiangbin may not be an outstanding monarch in the future, but to marry Qiuzi is equivalent to another ally, and Wusun's position in the Western Regions will become more and more stable. Weng Guimi was thinking about Wusun's future, but he still wanted to think about the happiness of his younger brother, so he didn't answer immediately, but looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye returned the salute to Jiangbin and said calmly: "Prince Jiangbin, the marriage matter needs to be considered in the long run, and the prince rashly asked for marriage, have you ever asked for the opinions of King and Queen Qiuzi?" ”

Jiang Bin was stunned: "This is my marriage, why should I ask their opinions?" ”

Liu Ye smiled indifferently: "The words of the parents, the life of the matchmaker, ordinary people can't be sloppy, not to mention that you are the future king." Now Jiang Bin and Di Shi are not married, so there is no need to rush it. ”

"No, I can't wait any longer, what if someone else comes to ask for my marriage when I return home? I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and I'm afraid that I will have many dreams at night. ”

Jiangbin's serious appearance made people laugh, Liu Ye said again: "Brother Shi is the princess of Wusun, her marriage can't be hasty, Prince Jiangbin, if you really value Brother Shi, don't want to snub her!" The lifelong event of the younger brother cannot be decided with a few words, so please go back and tell the king and queen of Qiuzi first, and ask for their consent before speaking. ”

"I, of course I value Princess Dishi." Jiangbin had nothing to say for a while, "Then I listen to the queen's words and go back to tell my father and queen mother, can the queen accept Jiangbin and not marry her brother Shi to others during this period?" ”

"Before Prince Jiangbin returns, what's the difficulty of not marrying his younger brother Shi to others." Liu Ye smiled slightly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back now, I'll rush back as soon as possible......" Jiang Bin overturned excitedly, didn't care about Weng Guimi and Liu Ye's luggage, and quickly ran back to his yurt.

Seeing this, Weng Guimi shook his head: "Jiangbin is still too reckless, as a prince, how can he ask for his own marriage." Queen, you shouldn't have agreed to him so easily, and I don't know if my brother Shi is willing to marry him! ”

"King, I just promised him that before he came back, I would not marry my brother Shi Xu to others, and I did not promise to marry my brother Shi Xu to him." Liu Ye sighed lightly, "Wan Nian and Brother Shi, these two children have suffered a lot since they were children, I can't just think about Wusun and ignore their feelings." ”

"Yes, leave everything to the queen, no matter what you decide, I will support it."

Jiang Bin returned to the yurt and packed his belongings, and told his entourage to prepare their horses, and could not wait to see his father and mother, but before leaving, he wanted to see his brother Shi again and bid her goodbye. Thinking of his sweetheart, he was reluctant to leave here, even if he was separated for a moment, he felt that it was unbearable torture.

When he inquired about Princess Shi's residence, he didn't allow his entourage to follow, and ran to see her by himself. Seeing the yurt from a distance, he thought about how to ask to see her while walking, and was about to go around to the front of the curtain, but he saw Liu Ye coming over, and hid in a hurry and didn't dare to show up, he was afraid that Liu Ye would think he was reckless, and refused to marry his younger brother Shi Xu to him again.

When Di Shi saw Liu Ye and Feng Yan coming together, he happily stepped forward to take their hands: "Queen Mother, aunt, you are here!" ”

Feng Yan looked at Brother Shi, who was becoming more and more delicate, nodded again and again and smiled: "I heard that Brother Shi just danced in front of the distinguished guests, and won the title of the first beauty in the Western Regions, in my opinion, it is well deserved." ”

"Oh, my aunt is making fun of my brother Shi again." Brother Shi blushed embarrassedly and turned his back.

Feng Yan quipped: "They are all people who are about to get married, and they are still like children." ”

Brother Shi was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Marriage?" Who wants to get married? Auntie, who do you say wants to get married? ”

Feng Yan looked at Liu Ye, and Liu Ye said, "Just now, Prince Jiangbin of the Guizi Kingdom came to ask for a marriage, and he wants to marry you." ”

"Prince Jangbin?" Brother Shi's face turned pale, and he asked uncertainly, "Is that the strong man who toasted to his father and mother?" ”

"Well, that's him." Liu Ye affirmed.

"What? It's him? Brother Shi bit his lip and stepped back step by step, until he sat down on the bed without retreat.
