Chapter 268 Asking for Marriage(1/2)
The ceremony was held in Bancheng.
The Meng people arrived in Bancheng early and set up the palaces in the city.
The slave stood beside the Meng king, combed his hair, put on his gorgeous clothes, and then decorated it with gems...
The ministers stood at the stairs and looked up carefully to see the face of the Meng king.
They thought that the young and energetic king would not be able to withstand such humiliation...
But unexpectedly, his expression was surprisingly calm, and this calmness also brushed away the anxiety in the hearts of the ministers.
The trembling voice of the slave sounded: "King."
"Okay?" asked the Meng king and stood up, then faced the ministers.
He was born rough and now standing on the steps, he was even more like a beast on the plateau.
He did not have the tenderness of a young man on his face, and only said in a deep voice: "Do you think my peace is because I don't care about the failure of my Meng tribe? Did you bend your bones in the face of the humiliation of the Liang Dynasty?"
"No, don't dare."
"I never thought so." The ministers rushed to speak out.
The Meng king's expression remained unchanged: "Hate and ambition should not be spoken of."
He said, slowly walking down the stone steps: "I want you to be engraved in my heart today."
The ministers were shocked and replied loudly: "Yes!"
"Let's go." The Meng clan king walked in front.
Everyone remembered the death of the national master deeply, but in the end they put their cohesion on the king.
They came to the King's Hall where the ceremony was held.
This place was built on the mountain and was magnificent. Just by building the long stairs in front of you, thousands of slaves died.
King Xuan rode a war horse seized from the Meng tribe, hugged Princess Xuan in front of his chest, and rode his horse up the steps.
Every step is smooth and you won't fall down.
The minister standing beside the Meng clan king changed slightly: "Why don't he use a sedan chair?"
When riding on a horse, the momentum will naturally be different.
It was clearly a ceremony for both sides to shake hands and make peace, but it was more like a feast where King Xuan drove straight into the conquest of Wang Ting.
The Meng clan king did not speak, he stared at Xue Qingyin who was nestled in front of King Xuan.
"It's a demonstration..." The Meng clan king whispered.
"How can I bear this?" the minister sternly said.
The Meng clan king knew that he was just talking.
After all, I really have someone to go up and pull King Xuan down now, who dares to go? The shadow of being beaten to the front is still in my heart, and only he, the king, dares to go up.
The Meng clan king said: "I heard that King Xuan was also walking on horseback in the palace of the Liang Dynasty..."
The minister showed a puzzled look.
The Meng clan king followed and said: "In the palace of the Liang Dynasty, except for the emperor, the rest of the people were not allowed to take a horse without an imperial edict. Otherwise, they would be regarded as a crime of losing etiquette and even treason in front of the emperor. He only enjoyed this honor..."
The implication is that it is still the case in front of the Emperor of Liang, let alone in front of us defeated generals?
The minister couldn't help but sigh.
Who said he is indeed a powerful person?
The Meng clan king's eyes turned and he quickly thought of something.
When King Xuan was in the Liang Dynasty, why was Lin Gu who was in the Meng tribe?
At this time, the King of Meng heard the painful voice of the ministers around him: "If I had known this, it would be better to kill Princess Xuan."
When the Meng clan king heard this, he said frankly: "I won't give up."
"It would be better to force her to stay in the Meng tribe as soon as possible so that she can have the king's descendants."
The Meng clan king said again: "I am reluctant to leave. I am afraid she will not be defeated by this insult."
The minister suddenly had his facial features squeezed into one place, not knowing what to say.
The Meng clan king sighed and said, "But there are always people who are willing to give up."
The minister was stunned.
What does this mean?
The minister's face changed, and he soon felt the taste from the words of the King of Meng.
He showed a sudden enlightenment and bowed to the King of Meng: "The Liang people's military books say that planning the mind is the best. This move of the king is to plan the mind."
The Meng clan king smiled and stopped talking.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was approaching, and King Xuan had already brought Xue Qingyin to the front.
"Go and lead the horse for Your Highness Xuan." The King of Meng ordered the ministers around him.
Without hesitation, the minister stepped forward and held the rope: "Your Highness, please."
King Xuan did not move, but only lowered his eyes, his eyes were cold.
The minister standing in front of him had a cold war in irresistible manner, and then he reacted: "Your Highness, Princess Xuan, please."
Xue Qingyin praised with a smile: "It's still very smart."
After she finished speaking, a slave stepped forward, knelt down and bowed his back, wanting to welcome her to dismount.
Xue Qingyin thought to herself why this is needed?
The next moment, King Xuan first turned over and got off the horse, then spread his arms and took Xue Qingyin very lightly.
The tassels hanging in front of her shaking.
It made everyone instinctively sway.
Princess Xuan is so dressed today, she is really beautiful.
The two of them walked side by side and stepped into the door. The Meng clan king's face was gloomy for a moment, and then he turned around and followed.
"Greetings to His Highness, King Xuan of the Supreme Kingdom." The rest of the people in the door had to kneel down and worship.
Now that peace talks are held, the Liang Dynasty will naturally become their superior country.
Xue Qingyin turned her eyes and looked around. They were all from the Meng tribe...
Just thinking about it.
The back of the hand heats up.
King Xuan held her hand firmly.
Wait until the advanced level.
Xue Qingyin thought to herself, she was not afraid at all... But the problem now is...
Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and looked up at the steps.
There are two thrones.
A gems are inlaid with the words of the Meng tribe on the left; a jade is inlaid with the words of the Liang Dynasty are engraved with the words of the Liang Dynasty.
It is obvious that one is from the King of Meng clan and the other is from the King of Xuan. The preparation is very attentive.
No one is there, right?
Xue Qingyin curled her lips.
The Meng clan officials did not expect that Princess Xuan would come today. After all, she had fallen into the hands of the Meng clan before, and she thought that Prince Xuan would avoid it...
"Your Highness, let's set up a seat for Princess Xuan, and how about you?"
King Xuan didn't say anything.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
The Meng officials couldn't help but mutter secretly, wouldn't they break up the peace talks for such a trivial matter?
Xue Qingyin struggled with King Xuan's hand, but failed to break away.
He held her firmly, without any intention of relaxing.
The slaves beside him were already in a hurry to move chairs under the command.
"Yinyin, go." King Xuan said in a deep voice.
Walk?
ah?
Xue Qingyin also thought he wanted to take him to turn around and leave and would not participate in this rush ceremony.
Who knew that King Xuan was holding her and asking her to ascend to the higher ranks together.
To be continued...
