Chapter 29 The Dream Story of Prince Artes and Princess Haya Tufus-2

After the prince chanted, the passion in his heart could not be restrained, and he couldn't help crying bitterly.The prime minister persuaded him patiently and made a promise that he must achieve his goal.In this way, they continued to move forward, and after several days and nights of trekking, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Baiyuzuo's guard city one morning at sunrise. The prime minister pointed to the outskirts of the city and said, "His Royal Highness, I have some good news for you. We have finally arrived at our destination. Look, it is Bai Yuzuo's guard city."

Hearing the prime minister's words, the prince felt very comforted, and chanted vigorously: "My friend! I am deeply intoxicated with love, There is an unbreakable love in my heart. Grieve like the sleepless bereaved, In the long dark night, unrequited love is rarely favored. As long as there's a storm blowing around you, My heart also trembled accordingly. Tears pour down like a rainstorm, The heart is drifting in the sea of ​​tears. " After the prime minister brought the prince and his entourage into the city, he rented three warehouses in a big inn, stored his belongings properly, and stayed there for a few days to recuperate.After recovering his spirit, he began to make suggestions for the prince's affairs and was busy running around.He said to the prince:

"I have a plan, and if Allah is willing, do as I say, and it will surely make you successful." "Smart Prime Minister! If you have any ideas, just do it. Allah will help us." "I'm going to rent a shop in the cloth market first, so that you can do business in the shop. Whether it's ordinary people or high-ranking officials, you have to go there to buy cloth. You can get in touch with many people by taking this opportunity. And you If you often sit in the shop and do business, you will definitely attract many people to buy things, which will be good for you to achieve your goal. Your extraordinary manner and appearance will make people who see you admire and want to get close to you. "

"You can do as you want." The prince readily agreed. So the prime minister and the crown prince each put on the most splendid attire, took a thousand gold coins with them, and came to the market. The passers-by were surprised to see the prince so handsome and beautiful, and they all exclaimed in unison: "Bless Allah, he is such a great creator! He has created such a beautiful young man." People chatted about this, and some said: " This beautiful boy is not a mortal, he is a kind-hearted angel." Some people said: "Could it be that the gods guarding the heaven were negligent and did not close the gate of heaven, so that this fairy boy took advantage of the loophole and came to the world?" People I chased after him, wanting to see clearly, and followed him all the way to Pibu City.

In the crowd, a solemn and reserved old man walked up to them, greeted them first, and then said, "Do you two need my help?" "Old man, who are you?" the Prime Minister asked. "I'm the chief executive of this city." "This is my son, old man. I plan to rent a shop for him on this street, so that he can do some business and learn some business skills, so that he can make a difference in the business world in the future." "That's right, I'll do as I ordered." The market administrator said while giving the Prime Minister the key to a shop, and ordered the shop to be cleaned and tidied up for their use.

The prime minister rented the shop, moved the goods in and arranged them, and found a thick camel hair cushion for the prince.Once everything is in order, it will open for business.The prince was sitting on a plush cushion, served by two well-dressed servants, and two swift and beautiful Ethiopian children were doing odd jobs.The prime minister urged him not to reveal the secret, so as to achieve his goal smoothly, and asked the prince to tell him what he saw and heard in the shop every day. The prince just sat in the shop and started doing business. His face is energetic, like a bright and bright moon, very attractive.The townspeople heard about the handsome face of the prince, and rushed to see him even if they didn't buy anything.Everyone who saw him praised the Creator's outstanding creation.Because there are too many spectators, the market is often crowded, and it is difficult for pedestrians to pass through.The prince looked left and right, only to see the stupid crowd staring at him, and couldn't help being upset.He wholeheartedly hoped to get acquainted with someone related to the palace and get news of the princess from there, but this wish could not be fulfilled, so the prince became more and more disheartened. He promised to try his best to satisfy his wish.

Such days have passed for a long time. One day, the prince was sitting in the shop doing business as usual, and a dignified and luxurious old lady came to buy clothes.She was dressed as a devout believer, followed by two beautiful girls.She walked towards the prince slowly, looked at the prince carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Praise be to Allah, what a wonderful boy He has created." Then she greeted the prince. The prince also greeted the old lady and asked her to sit down.The two chatted like this, and the old lady asked him: "Handsome boy, where are you from?"

"Old lady, I come from India. I am fortunate to come to your country to do business. I was in the mood of sightseeing and sightseeing." "We are very honored that you can visit our country. May I ask what kind of fabrics you sell in your store? If there are any suitable for officials and officials, please show me." Hearing the old lady's tone, the prince expected it to be unusual, and said with great emotion: "We have a wide variety of fabrics in our store. You always want to buy good fabrics, so I'll just show you." "My boy, I want the most expensive and finest cloth."

"Please tell me what kind of person you buy this material for, so that I can show you the most suitable one." "You are very thoughtful. I bought it for Princess Haya Tufus. Her father, Lou Godil, is the king of the country here." When the prince heard the name of Haya Tufus mentioned by the old lady, his heart suddenly thumped wildly.He was ecstatic for a moment, and he didn't care about ordering his servants, so he reached out and took out a purse containing one hundred gold coins, stuffed it to the old lady, and said: "You can use these to pay for laundry." Then he took out a set of luxurious clothes worth 10,000 gold coins, handed them to the old lady and said:

"Here's a piece of clothing I brought for sale." The old lady saw that this suit was so expensive, she couldn't help but replied with satisfaction: "You are so kind, how much do you want to sell this suit?" "You don't need to pay, just take it." The old lady thanked the prince and mentioned the price of the clothes again.The prince said earnestly: "By Allah, this suit is specially given to the princess. I will not sell it as a commodity. If the princess insists on not accepting it, then I will give it to you as a gift to entertain guests. Allah bestows Bless me, let me have the honor to meet you, and I have to trouble you if I have anything to do in the future."

The old lady was amazed by the prince's eloquence, generosity and thoughtfulness, and asked: "My master, what is your name?" "My name is Arthur." "My lord, this name is really strange. Usually only the children of the royal family are called this name. After you became a businessman, why did you also take this name?" "Because my father loves me so much, he took this rich and powerful name. In fact, a person's name can't explain anything." The old lady admired the Prince's adaptability and asked him again: "Young man, please calculate the price of this suit." The prince vowed not to accept a penny.The old lady had no choice but to say earnestly: "Young man, do you know that honesty is the foundation of dealing with others. Now you are so generous and kind, there must be a reason for it. Please tell me your purpose, or if you have any difficulties, tell me, I will do my best helpful." Hearing the old lady's sincere words, the prince hurriedly put his hand in her hand and asked her to swear to keep it a secret. Then he told the old lady about falling in love with Princess Haya Tufus and wishing to marry her. After listening to the prince's narration, the old lady said convincingly: "This is the truth, but," she shook her head and said, "My child, there is a widely circulated proverb that goes like this: 'What others don't want you to do. If you want to do something, don't try to be stubborn.'Since you are the son of a merchant, even if you have tens of thousands of wealth, you still cannot get rid of the background of a merchant. If you want to raise your status and status, you can get married with the sons and daughters of officials, but why do you Do you have to propose to the princess? Do you know that Princess Haya Tufus is still a little girl who has never left the palace and has never seen the world. But although she is young, she is extremely intelligent, alert and witty. She is sensible, dignified, and well-informed. She is the only daughter of the king, so she is regarded by the king as more important than the king's own life. The king has a quick meal with her every day, and the people in the palace are alienated from her and afraid of her. Because of these Reason, boy, don't expect anyone to dare mention such things in front of her, even I can't do anything about it. Swear to Allah, my children, I have all my heart and soul for you, but I have more than I can do. But I have An idea, maybe Allah will do what you want. Believe me, I will try to help you succeed even if you go through all kinds of hoops. " "Old lady, what idea do you have?" "Let me propose to the prime minister or other officials' children for you. If you agree, I will agree to you. You know, no one can reach the sky in one step." After listening to the old lady's suggestion, the prince was very polite, but still witty said: "Old lady, you are very good at worldly affairs, but please think about it: if a person with a headache bandages his hand, it will be cured." sick?" "No, by Allah, of course not." "Then I can't do it according to your idea, because I am obsessed with the princess. What is the use of other people's love? I swear to Allah, if the lady can guide and help me, I am really hopeless. The old man Ma'am, for the sake of my coming from a foreign country, please have pity on me." "As I swear to Allah, my child, what you say breaks my heart. But there is nothing I can do about it alone." "I just ask you to deliver a letter to the palace for me, give it to Haya Tufus, and kiss her hand for me." "Okay, just write what you want to say into the letter, and I'll give it to her for you." The old lady simply agreed to the prince. Hearing the old lady's reply, the prince was so happy that he almost flew into the clouds, and immediately asked the servants to prepare pens, ink and paper, and hurriedly wrote the following love poem: In pursuit of love I have gone through hardships and trekking, If only you—Haya Tufts—could promise me, My life was comfortable and easy, Now it has ended in a miserable state, how can I look back? I've been up all night, I can't close my eyes, Those who sit with me and talk with each other are weeping and weeping in the long night. I, the wretched lover, hope helplessly for your mercy, I cried out my eyelids for love, If the dawn still refuses to come as I wish, That just means I'm a daydreaming drunk. After the prince finished writing, he folded it, kissed it sincerely, then handed it to the old lady, and took out a money bag containing one hundred gold coins from the box, and gave it to the old lady, asking her to distribute it to the two accompanying maids. . The old lady refused on the spot and said, "By Allah, my son, there is no need to be so formal between you and me, I really cannot accept it." The prince thanked the old lady and said, "Please accept it anyway." The old lady had no choice but to accept the money, she kissed the prince's hand, and after she left, she went straight back to the palace, came to Princess Haya Tufus, and said to her: "Your Highness, I brought you a rare treasure , people here may not have seen it before. This treasure was obtained from a beautiful young man, and that young man is also rare and beautiful." "Nurse, where did the boy you mentioned come from?" "I heard from him that he came from India. The beaded and jade-encrusted clothes he gave me were worn by the kings of Persia and Rome." The old lady unfolded the clothes in her hands as she spoke.Seeing countless pearls and gems shining on the clothes, the brilliance is dazzling enough to illuminate the entire palace, and everyone in the palace is amazed.The princess looked it over carefully, and decided that the dress was priceless, more expensive than her father's whole year's tax.So I asked the old lady about the price of the clothes.road: "Nurse, did you get this dress from him, or did someone else give it to you?" "I got it from himself. By Allah, he has servants to take care of him. Not only is he beautiful, but he is also very pure and kind, and he is broad-minded and generous. There is really no one except you. I have seen someone more beautiful and lovely than him." "That's strange. He is a businessman, how could he have such a priceless treasure? Nurse, how much did he ask you for?" "He didn't mention the price at all. He just said to me: 'I will not sell this suit as a commodity. This is a gift for the princess. No one deserves to wear this suit except her.' So he He insisted on not taking any money, and returned all the money you gave me to buy clothes. He said to me: 'If the princess insists on not accepting it, I will give it to you.'” "As I swear to Allah, he is indeed generous and generous, but I am afraid that this kind of thing will end up causing trouble and causing trouble. Didn't you ask him what he wants?" "Your Highness, I asked. I said: 'Do you need anything?' He said: 'I do.' But he never told me what he needed. He just gave me this piece of paper and let me Take it into the palace and present it to you." The old lady said and handed the letter to the princess. The princess took the letter paper from the wet nurse's hand, opened it, and immediately lost her calm expression just now, her face turned pale, and she sternly reprimanded: "Damn wet nurse! I ask you, who is the man who dares to say such dastardly things to the king's daughter? What have I to do with him? Why did he write to me?Allah testifies, if I hadn’t been afraid of Allah, I would have ordered him to be tied up, cut off his nose and ears, and hanged him in the cloth market for public display. " When the old lady heard the princess's angry reprimand, her face was pale with fright, she was dumbfounded, trembling all over, and at a loss.It was with great difficulty that she mustered up her courage, and said gruntly, "His Royal Highness, calm down, what did that bastard say in the letter that made you so angry? Did he write you a pleading letter, hoping that you would relieve him from poverty, or ask you to avenge his wrongs? " "Where is it? Nurse, swear to Allah, it's not a plea at all, but a crooked poem, and it's nothing but rambunctious words. But I guess the goddam thing is so arrogant and rude, it's nothing more than It is inseparable from the following three situations. First, he has lost his mind; second, he wants to kill himself or wants me to help him avenge his injustice; third, he has heard that I am the kind of suitor who can casually follow Bed-sharing slut. He wrote me such nasty letters just to drive me crazy and make me crazy like him." "Your Highness, I swear to Allah, your guess is very reasonable. But you are in a palace that is as solid as gold, and not a single wind can blow you, and not a single bird can fly in. For that ignorant dog, there is another Why do you need to care about everything and take it seriously? You can ignore it, write him a warning letter, scold him severely, and even threaten him with death.You can also question the dog dealer who left his hometown to make money, and ask him how he knew you and wrote you.even warned him: If he is still sleeping in a sound dream and does not wake up, he will be hanged in public as a punishment. " "But if I write back to him, I'm afraid that he will have ulterior motives and become even more absurd." "He has no power or power, so it is impossible for him to have bad intentions towards us. But His Highness wrote him a letter, which can cut through the mess quickly and make him shrink back in fear." The old lady racked her brains to encourage the princess to write back to the prince. The princess agreed to come down and ordered the pen and ink to wait on her, so she wrote the following poem and answered the prince: Listen, you who profess to suffer from insomnia in love, You pass the time in wishful thinking. Does the toad also want to eat swan meat? Or is there someone in the world who can achieve the goal of reaching the sky and holding the moon? I warn you to proceed with caution, Because the situation you are facing is death. If you make a similar request again, will be severely punished. I have done my best, Still be at ease and be your quick-witted, gentle poet. By Allah who created the universe, And by Allah who adorns the sky with bright stars, If you repeat the nonsense you said, must be punished by hanging. When the princess finished writing the letter, she folded it up and gave it to the nurse.
