Why are we always BE

"See you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity." Everyone knelt down and worshiped.

"No need to be polite. Today is General Su's twentieth birthday, so there is no need to be polite." Huo Sian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up one after another.

Huo Cian glanced at the guests present and saw Huo Shu and Su Qing standing next to Huo Zehao.

Why is Huo Shu here? Huo Cian thought to himself, was it Zehao who brought him here?

But bringing it here won't change the outcome. Although Ze Hao had been mentioning Huo Shu's freedom of marriage to Gu in the past few days, even Ze Hao was of no avail. Huo Cian turned the ring in his hand and thought to himself.

On the day of Su Qing's birthday party, it happened to be an auspicious day for fortune telling, so the crown ceremony was also on this day.

Su Qing was standing in the east side of the hall, wearing a green dress, tied with a hairpin and hairpins, standing with Huo Cian, Huo Zehao, and Su Zian.

The crowning ceremony was basically held in the ancestral temple, but today it was forcibly held in the palace. It took a lot of effort to restrict me. Su Qing thought to herself.

At this crowning ceremony, Huo Cian was the guest of honor, Huo Zehao was the praiser, Su Zian was the host, Su Qing was the crowning one, and the others were guests.

It feels like...many people are coming to see my excitement. Su Qing thought to herself.

The auspicious moment has arrived, and Huo Cian crowns Su Qing. Su Qing knelt on the ground and Huo Cian stood.

One plus, plus a cloth crown.

"Now that you are an adult, you can govern people and power. I hope you will not forget your original intention and the hardships of the previous king's entrepreneurship. Now that you are an adult, you should continue to be self-reliant and strive for the country." Huo Cian said.

Plus, add a leather ben crown.

"You have been fighting in the army for ten years. You have already completed your military service and entered the official career. This leather hat is your honor and your symbol. I hope that in the future, you can keep this honor and keep your original intention."

Three plus, plus a title and a crown.

"You have become the real General Su, no longer the little General Su that everyone praises. You also have the right to participate in sacrifices. I hope you will be sensible and polite in the future and respect the gods."

Finally, it has been crowned.

"Su Qing, you have fought on the battlefield for ten years and defended your home and country. This is loyalty. You have defended your home and country for ten years without losing by using military skills. This is wisdom. Today is also your twentieth birthday. I hereby give you the name Zhongrui. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Su Qing thanked him.

"Get up, today is your birthday, Gu Ye specially prepared a birthday gift for you." Huo Cian sat on the main seat and said coldly.

"Your Majesty is concerned about me, and I am deeply grateful." After Su Qing finished speaking, he stood up expressionlessly.

"You have reached the age of marrying a wife. There happens to be a princess in the lonely palace who is almost fifteen years old."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

The only princess in the palace who is almost fifteen years old is the cursed princess Huo Shu.

Everyone knew that the king was afraid of Su Qing, and everyone knew it when he said it.

The fifth princess and the sixth prince were left behind just for today!

The sixth prince had set off for the Zhou Dynasty some time ago. If the fifth princess married into the Su family, the curse would no longer be a curse, but a weapon against the enemy.

As for family ties, there is no such thing as family ties between royalty and nobles, as long as the one who finally takes the position is one of your own blood.

"The fifth princess, Huo Shu, has a kind and gentle personality. I grant you permission to marry into the Su family to show the king's kindness and to show my gratitude to those who are loyal and patriotic."

Huo Shu and Su Qing knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Father, I have objections." Huo Zehao's voice rang out.

Huo Cian frowned and said with some displeasure: "What are your objections?"

In the past few days, Huo Zehao had been petitioning Huo Cian to grant Huo Shu the freedom to marry, but he had been giving ambiguous replies or simply ignoring them. Huo Cian did not expect that Huo Zehao would plead in public for the sister he had only met for fifteen years.

"I don't agree with Huo Shu marrying into the Su family."

"Since ancient times, women's marriage has been decided by their parents. What's the problem?" Huo Cian sat upright and said righteously.

"I am her eldest brother. I just hope that my sister can marry the person I like." Huo Zehao said.

"Zehao, you are more than just a sister to Huo Shu, and Huo Shu is more than a brother."

"But she comes from the same family as me, it's me..."

"Huo Zehao." Huo Cian held his forehead and said.

Huo Zehao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"I know that you have been cultivating in Penglai all year round and don't understand the rules of the world. Don't do this kind of thing again." Huo Cian warned.

Huo Zehao knelt down and said, "Zehao doesn't dare, just to let my sister live more comfortably."

"Brother." Huo Shu was still kneeling and said softly to Huo Zehao: "Brother, I will marry you."

Huo Zehao clenched his hands into fists, as if preparing something.

Huo Shu was worried that Huo Zehao would hurt someone, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Huo Zehao's hand and said, "Brother, calm down."

"The marriage between Huo Shu and Su Qing has been decided and cannot be discussed further." Huo Ci'an stood up and said impatiently: "You have been raised in the fairy world for nothing even if you don't even understand ethics."

When Huo Cian left, Huo Zehao slumped on the ground, a little lost his temper.

"Brother, get up." Huo Shu supported Huo Zehao and said with some distress.

The change of title from elder brother to elder brother was not only Huo Shu's heartfelt recognition, but also her heartache for Huo Zehao.

Neither Huo Shu nor Su Qing obviously expected that Huo Zehao would interfere in this planned marriage.

But this kick brought more emotion and surprise than trouble and crisis.

Huo Zehao stood up tremblingly and said apologetically to Huo Shu, "I'm sorry, brother didn't do what he promised you."

Huo Shu had mixed feelings in her heart.

"I have been trying to persuade my father to agree to your freedom of marriage or to take you to Penglai." Huo Zehao said desperately.

"Brother, in fact, General Su Qing is a very nice person. I am willing to marry him," Huo Shu said.

Huo Shu didn't know whether she should confess the matter between herself and Su Qing, but she regretted that she had not found a chance to communicate with Su Qing and tell Huo Zehao about it before.

"I'm sorry." Huo Zehao said apologetically, turned around and left shakily.

The guests began to talk a lot, fearing that after tonight, there would be another storm in the capital.

"The relationship between the eldest prince and the fifth princess is really good. They are indeed from the same family."

"What's good is that the eldest prince can object to his parents' orders and the suggestion of a matchmaker. If the king hadn't stopped him in time, it would have been a treasonous act."

"It's just that this little General Su is so pitiful. He has fought for the country for so long and finally married a princess with a curse."

"What are you loyal to? You didn't hear clearly what the king said. You have to listen to the opposite of what the king said. If this little general Su didn't have the intention to rebel, the king would only tell him to continue to work hard to protect his family and the country. But just now The king is telling him not to forget the past, not to forget his ancestors, and not to disobey the gods. There is something behind his words, reminding General Su not to rebel."

"Your Majesty's reminder, doesn't it mean that General Su has the intention to rebel?"

"Who knows, General Su has 40,000 men with military power. Once General Su plots rebellion, Beiming will have almost no chance of winning. No matter who the king is, he will be afraid of him."

"It's a pity that there is only General Su in Beiming. No one is evenly matched with General Su, and Beiming cannot do without General Su."

Huo Shu stood in the center of everyone's whispers and gazes, feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Royal Highness, I am here to inform you on behalf of General Su. If Your Highness the Princess does not want to stay at the banquet any longer, I can take you to General Su's inner palace to rest."

"Take me away." Huo Shu said without hesitation.

"There are too many people in the palace, so please put on the clothes of a palace maid and leave your humble position."
