Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 340 Mrs. Sang Zi Arrives

Fu Que said again: "Cousin has gone out of the city to pick up Xu Sha? I really can't wait to see him." Wei Xiang said: "Yes, when the distinguished guest arrives, the subordinate will send someone to invite the princess."

Resigned in a hurry and rushed to the main hall.King Wentian and Prince Wendi are busy summoning their ministers.Amanda stood alone, thoughtful, in the busy hall, only she seemed calm, like Pu Changhai.

The queen was wearing a white linen gown, with delicate sky blue lace embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, which made her look thin and heroic.She is over forty years old, but still has a straight figure and plump face.

As soon as he saw Weixiang coming in, he quickly turned his head.Weixiang stepped forward and whispered: "Queen, please step aside and speak."

Entering the inner hall, he told about Princess Fuqu's strangeness, and said, "Princess has always been strong and willful, but suddenly she became so obedient, will there be any powerful countermeasures?"

Amanda said: "No." Weixiang didn't know why the queen was so sure, but she knew her daughter, Mo Ruomu, so she stopped asking and left the palace.

More than an hour later, a brown-armored knight galloped back to report: "Prince Aowen and Prime Minister Su Lu have already welcomed the King of Khotan. They will arrive at the royal capital in more than half an hour. Minister Ali has already rushed to the north gate to greet him. .”

Immediately there were knights rushing back and forth to report the whereabouts of Aowen and the people of Khotan. After waiting for another hour, Aowen finally led Khotan and his party to the square with three rooms.

Wentian and his wife led the ministers to welcome them out of the palace. Xidun dismounted, took off his golden cloak and threw it to the warrior behind him. He strode over and said, "His Majesty, King Wentian." Wentian said, "His Majesty, King Xidun."

Xi Dun rolled his eyes, landed on Amanda, and said with a smile: "Queen Amanda, long time no see."

Amanda said: "Your Majesty King Xidun."

Xidun turned around and waved to Susa, saying, "Come to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Xu Sha stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Queen."

Amanda asked: "Are you Prince Susa?"

Susa said: "Yes, Susa has met the queen."

Amanda was very happy to see that he was very polite and bookish, completely different from Xi Dun, and she stepped forward to take his hand and said, "You have grown so big!"

Wentian coughed lightly, and said, "Let His Majesty the King enter the palace first."

Immediately, Xi Dun was led into the three-room hall, where the guests and the host sat down, introduced important officials to each other, and exchanged pleasantries.Wentian saw that it was past noon, so he ordered a banquet.Xi Dun asked, "Where is Princess Fuqu?"

Wentian said: "Now, please invite Prince Susa to come with me to pick up Fuyu."

Today's banquet is actually an engagement banquet for Princess Loulan and Prince Khotan. According to the etiquette in the Western Regions, the father and the man should welcome the woman out of the boudoir together, which means that the man who first saw the bride is the two most important people in her life.

Xi Dun ordered Xu Sha to follow Wen Tian to welcome the princess out.

Prince Wendi smiled all over his face, and led Prince Knifeman to greet him, "Your Majesty King Xidun."

Xi Dun said: "Ask the Prince of Earth." Then he waved.The Prime Minister on the left, Chan Mu, immediately understood and whispered: "Prince of Earth and Prince Swordsman, I have an important matter that I want to discuss with your two highnesses first. It concerns Prince Swordsman. Please come and talk."

Asked for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, okay."

Xi Dun waited for the people in the crowd to go away, and then deliberately walked closer to Amanda and asked in a low voice: "Where is Sang Zi? Why don't you see her?"

Amanda said: "It turns out that His Majesty still remembers my sister."

Xi Dun said: "Of course. How can I not remember her? It's the same for you, Amanda."

Amanda said: "Since that's the case, His Majesty already knew that Aowen was my sister's beloved son when he was camping in Moshan that day, so how could he be so cruel?"

Xi Dun chuckled, and said: "Aowen is too arrogant, this king just wants to frighten him, let him learn a lesson. You see, he forced the handprint king to death, and in the end, this king won't be from the hands of the angry Moshan people." Saved him? Amanda, let me tell you the truth, I like Aowen, I would rather he be my son."

Amanda said: "Your Majesty, Aowen is the son of General Quansu and my sister Sang Zi." Xi Dun said: "This king knows, what I said is rather..."

Suddenly someone shouted: "Madame Sang Zi has arrived!"

Everyone was surprised, and the most surprised one was of course Prince Aowen.He stared at the door closely, but saw the most beautiful mother in the world, dressed in lavender gauze, with a graceful appearance and orchid-like air, walking in, followed by a black-clothed attendant.

She just held her head high and held her chest high, as if there was no one else around, as if the entire hall was out of her sight.

Prince Wendi was standing close to the gate of the palace, and he was the first to come to his senses, and he walked up to him and said with a smile, "Mrs. Sang Zi."

There was no expression on Sang Zi's soul-stirring face, only a faint "hmm", without even turning her head to look at the prince, she walked straight to Xi Dun who was standing at the head of the palace.

Amanda rushed forward to stand in front of her sister, and asked in a low voice, "Sang Zi, why are you here?"

Sang Zi said: "Why, can't I come? Sis, please step aside, I have a few words to say to Xi Dun, and I will leave after I finish."

Amanda said: "Sang Zi, today is Fuqu..." Sang Zi said: "I know. If my sister doesn't want to be too ugly, please move out of the way." Turning her head and waving to Ao Wen, she said: "Ao Wen, please Get out of your way, aunt."

Aowen was stunned, and said, "What?"

Amanda persuaded: "Sang Zi..."

Sang Zi said: "Sister has long been the Queen of Loulan. She has everything she wants. Even my children only recognize you as my aunt, but I have nothing. I have no husband, no son..."

Aowen became angry and said, "How could mother say that? It's obvious that you don't want to raise me..."

Amanda hurriedly repelled Aowen, pulled Sang Zi to the side of the hall, and said, "Today is a big day for Loulan and Khotan, I can't let you..."

Sang Zi said: "Sister, I have no other intentions. I just heard that Xi Dun is here, and I want to ask him face to face if my child is okay." The child she mentioned naturally refers to the child born to her and Xi Dun. His son Xu Sha.

Amanda recalled countless past events at once, thinking that her sister was originally the most beautiful woman in the Western Region and the target of countless princes and grandsons, but she spent the most precious youth of her life on that person and got nothing in the end. As she said herself - nothing.

Looking at the desolate sadness on her face, I couldn't help but felt a pang of pity, and I was no longer able to refuse her request, so I could only respond: "That's fine." Turning around and retreating to the side.

Sang Zi beckoned, "Xidun!"

Xi Dun came over calmly and said: "Sang Zi, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"

Sang Zi said: "I want to introduce someone to you."

Xi Dun smiled and said, "Who? Could it be my other son?"

Sang Zi ignored his teasing and turned her head, but the black-clothed attendant who had been following her was missing. She couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Where is the person?"

Xi Dun said: "Sang Zi, I know you have always blamed me..."

Sang Zi's mind was not on him at all, she kept looking around, searching for her attendants, her expression was extremely anxious and nervous, and she froze for a moment.

Xi Dun felt something strange in her expression and followed her gaze.

The banquet started grandly, and everyone was sitting in front of the big case, holding their wine glasses, and suddenly asked the king of heaven to say to the crowd: "You have called everyone here today to celebrate the eternal alliance between Loulan and Khotan, and all this is thanks to the two grown ups!"

Immediately afterwards, Wen Tianwang welcomed two people with faces from the Central Plains into the arena, they were Li Shiqi and Han Xin!

It was the strategy of the two of them, the peaceful and tense atmosphere between the two countries, that made the two countries reconcile and prepare for a new enemy together - the Maurya Dynasty!
