Live up to the country

It happened that Xiaozhu rushed back to the capital at the same time, so she quietly sneaked into the palace and returned to Cheng'en Hall.The crown prince was not in the hall, after she changed her palace attire in the Nuan Pavilion, she swaggered out and walked along the corridor to Linde Hall.

The Linde Hall held a banquet as usual every year, the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress, concubines, princes and princesses all gathered together to celebrate the new year, Xiao Zhu found Liu Fan and stood beside him silently.Liu Fan was sitting lazily watching the show without emotion, when he suddenly saw her, his eyes lit up and he sat up straight.

Xiao Zhu watched the singing and dancing on the stage, but he didn't seem to see Liu Fan's expression.And a court lady behind Liu Fan kept looking at Xiao Zhu.

Liu Fan leaned back on the chair, still looking lazy, only a hint of a smile appeared on Xiao Zhu's face.

In the middle of the banquet, there was an exotic dance, Liu Fan turned around and told Xiao Zhu that this was a show brought by Nanxingguo in southern Xinjiang.

Xiaozhu nodded, and she saw that sitting under the emperor was a king dressed in foreign lands, and sitting with the king was a dark-skinned girl with a high nose bridge and slightly sunken eye sockets, who looked like a princess.

After the singing and dancing on the stage was over, Princess Hei jumped out of her seat, leaped onto the stage in the air, threw a nine-section whip from her arms, and danced with it for a while.There was a burst of cheers and applause from the audience.All the dignitaries present here know that although Nanxing Kingdom is small in size, it has strong soldiers and horses, is brave and aggressive, and should not be underestimated.The king and princess of Nanxing Kingdom were the honored guests of Xiling, so even if the princess's skills were ordinary, they could only applaud loudly.

"Your Majesty, my daughter came to your country with this king this time to choose a good son-in-law among the princes of your country. I wonder if Your Majesty intends to marry me, Nanxing?" The king of Nanxing held a cup to Liu Hongjing. Dao, the voice is quite loud.Liu Huo, Liu Fan, the second prince Liu Yun, and the third prince Liu Xing unknowingly cast their gazes at him, and then at the black beauty princess on the stage.

"Hahaha, King Khan's love, Liu can't wait for it! It's just that the dog is not talented, I wonder if the princess will like it?" Liu Hongjing glanced at the black princess on the stage, and smiled reluctantly, but since King Nanxing spoke It seems that he has no room to refuse.

Nanxing was originally a barbaric land, and the king didn't have too many polite words. When he saw that the Xiling Emperor agreed to get married, he happily drank the wine in his cup, and then said: "It is said that the princes of your country are all handsome, Your Majesty Just marry anyone and give us Maisha."

"Father! What can I do? I want to find someone I like." Princess Maisha on the stage suddenly jumped to his side, pouted and shook his shoulders in protest.

The princes of Xiling couldn't help showing disapproving expressions on their faces.Duanmu Yunji had been sitting quietly next to the queen mother, but at this moment she suddenly stood up, walked over and said: "The princess is beautiful, lively and pleasant. I like the princess very much at first sight. If the princess doesn't dislike it, let's see how the eldest prince will treat her." ?” She took Princess Maisha's hand and looked at Liu Huo.

Liu Huo was injured, and he was sitting there trying to watch the banquet. He was exhausted at the moment, and when he saw his mother pointing at him, he frowned.

Princess Maisha pouted and looked at him unscrupulously for a while, then said: "You look pretty good, I don't know martial arts, I don't want my husband to be defeated by me."

Liu Huo coughed twice, with the look of wanting to vomit blood.

Princess Maisha's eyes fell on Liu Fan's face again, Liu Fan sat lazily, turning her head away with a half-smile. "That is His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness has to sing and dance with beautiful women. He has never practiced martial arts, so I'm afraid it won't suit the princess." Duanmu Yunji said softly to Princess Maisha with a look of contempt on her face.Princess Maisha nodded after hearing this, pouted her lips and looked at Liu Yun again, Liu Yun stood up and clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness, I only have poetry and songs, and I don't know anything about martial arts."

In the end, Liu Xing was the only one left, Liu Xing was generous and jumped out and said, "Why don't I accompany Her Highness Princess to do some tricks."

"You want to compete with me, okay, okay!" Princess Maisha clapped her hands happily when she saw that the princes in Xiling were all beautiful, but none of them had martial arts skills. .

Duanmu Yunji glared at Liu Xing bitterly, Concubine Xue Shu stood up nervously on the side of the concubine, and cast a wink at Liu Xing, Liu Xing saw her concubine, touched her head, and then nodded to her mother nod.

"Let's go." Princess Maisha took Liu Huo's hand and flew to the stage together with him. After she let go of her hand, she stood firmly on her feet, but Liu Xing staggered forward and almost fell. Maisha The princess couldn't help frowning, and Liu Hongjing stood up angrily.

"As far as your skill is concerned, I think it's better to forget it! Unexpectedly, the emperor of Xiling is so powerful in all directions, and all the princes are idiots!" Princess Maisha kicked Liu Xing mercilessly, but her foot was suddenly caught by a Blocked by her feet, the eldest prince was already standing in front of her expressionlessly, his speed was so fast that it can be seen the high level of lightness kung fu.

"So you have martial arts!" Princess Maisha's eyes lit up, and she swung the nine-section whip at the eldest prince.

Liu Huo grabbed the whip and lightly whipped it. Princess Maisha couldn't stand still and fell into his arms. "The princes of Xiling are not all idiots, do you understand?" He lifted Maisha's chin, half-closed his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, his voice was low and charming.

"Understood." Princess Maisha replied shyly, changing from her previous arrogance.Liu Huo let go of her, only to see the figure flash back to the seat.

Duanmu Yunji looked at her son's appearance with a joyful smile on her face. Liu Huo not only won face for Xiling in front of the emperor, but also made that black girl become gentle and shy in an instant. It seems that this marriage is bound to succeed. Well, Liu Huo can be Nanxing's son-in-law, that is because he has found a big backer, and he will not worry about not being able to bring down the prince in the future!

She was making wishful thinking, and then seeing that the princess had arrived at her father's side, she was babbling and didn't know what to say. After a while, King Nanxing Khan said to Liu Hongjing: "The little girl said that she is willing to marry the eldest prince. .”

"This—" Liu Hongjing's gaze fell on Liu Fan, who avoided his father's gaze, and his expression was indifferent.

"Your majesty, the princess likes Huo'er, and I love the princess, so please make this beautiful thing come true." Duanmu Yunji walked to the emperor and begged.

Liu Hongjing looked at her with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he could see through her mind, Duanmu Yunji looked uncomfortable and lowered her head.

"Why? Your Majesty is not willing?" King Nanxing Khan asked displeasedly when he saw Liu Hongjing not referring to the marriage.

"I want to say a few words to the prince, please wait a moment, King Khan." Liu Hongjing looked at Liu Fan, then turned and walked aside, Liu Fan hurriedly stood up and walked to him, silent.

"Fan'er, I believe that you understand the Queen's intentions, and I also understand the emperor's intentions. Just say a word, as long as you want to marry Princess Nanxing, I will definitely marry her to you." Liu Hongjing said.

Liu Fan smiled calmly and said, "Father, my son doesn't have the martial arts to compete with this princess."
