Chapter 35 The Dream Story of Prince Artes and Princess Haya Tufus-8

The eunuch waited for a while, but he didn't see the old lady coming back, and fearing that he would miss the report to the king, he simply pushed open the door, broke into the yard without authorization, ran to the princess's boudoir, and pushed the door open.He poked his head in and saw that the magnificent boudoir was brightly lit.The eunuch was puzzled and astonished at why the lights were not turned off in broad daylight, so he walked to the princess' bed without hesitation, lifted the embroidered gold and beaded curtain, and saw that the princess was holding a very charming young man in his arms. The person is lying on the bed.His shock was no small matter, and he sighed in a long voice:

"Hey! What a chaste Your Majesty! A girl with a yellow flower who keeps hating men, actually does such a shameful thing. Where did she get such a young man? I didn't realize until now that she knocked out my molars for This sweetheart." He put down the tent thoughtfully. Seeing the eunuch leave in a hurry, the princess yelled: "Cavre!" Seeing that the eunuch ignored him, the princess quickly jumped off the bed, chased to the door, grabbed the corner of the eunuch's clothes, covered her face, kissed his feet, and begged: "Kafuer, you Conceal what Allah has concealed."

"Allah will not help you hide this matter. Those who protect you will also be punished by Allah. Back then, you not only knocked out my molars, but also pretended to be serious and said: 'No one is allowed to mention men and women in front of me. It’s about men’s affairs.’” The eunuch broke free and left, then closed the door and asked the servants to guard the princess, then hurriedly left the palace and returned to the front of the palace. "Cavre, have you given the present to the princess?" the king asked when he saw him come back. "Swear to Allah, only His Majesty is truly worthy of enjoying this priceless treasure."

"What happened, tell me quickly." The king felt that there was something in his words, and was very surprised. "This kind of thing happened, I want to report to His Majesty privately." "Don't be wordy, tell me in public." "Then please forgive my sins, Your Majesty." The king threw down a handkerchief as a proof not to kill him.The eunuch accepted the token, and then boldly said: "The servant was ordered by the master to go to the princess's boudoir, and saw that the lights were brightly lit and the decoration was completely new. The servant also saw the princess sharing the bed with a man, flying and sleeping together, sleeping soundly Well. The slaves saw it, but they didn’t dare to say anything, so they had to lock the door and come to report back.”

Hearing this, the king was so angry that he jumped eight feet high, drew out his sword, summoned the guards, and yelled: "Take people to the harem quickly, and bring the princess and that man to me. How did they lie down just now?" , Now let them lie down and cover them with quilts." Obeying the imperial order, the guard immediately led his soldiers and rushed to the princess's boudoir in the harem noisily, and saw that the princess and Prince Artes were already crying.The guard pointed to the princess and said, "The king ordered you to lie on the bed as before, and let him lie beside you as before."

Because the princess had committed a serious crime, she dared not disobey the order, but instead comforted the prince and said, "You can't fight recklessly now." So they lay down on the bed as ordered, covered with quilts, and the guards carried them out with the bed in a hurry. To the front of the king in the hall. The king threw back the quilt, raised his sword and stabbed at the princess, intending to finish her.The princess rolled under the bed in fright, at a loss, but the prince rushed to the king, threw himself on his chest, and said, "It's none of her business. It's my crime. If you want to kill it, kill it." me."

When the king heard the prince's words, he was so angry that he raised his sword and stabbed.The princess stepped forward again, blocked the prince, and said: "If you want to kill me, kill me. You can't kill him, because he is a prince. His father is a powerful and powerful king of a big country." Hearing what the princess said, the king hesitated, turned his head and glanced at the treacherous prime minister who liked to play with power, hoping to get a hint: "Ai Qing, how do you say snoring them?" "According to me, this kind of immoral person will definitely not tell the truth, so you can torture the two of them and execute them immediately."

The king nodded his assent, and immediately ordered the executioner and his assistants to go up to the temple. After the executioner was ordered to arrive, the king ordered: "Take this damned thing out and behead it first, then punish this slut, and burn her body as a punishment. That's it, and there is no need to ask for instructions." The executioner took the princess by the arm and pulled her lower arm as the king instructed.Seeing this, the king angrily threw the objects in his hands at the executioner, almost killing him.He roared angrily: "Dog! Why are you being polite to this damned woman? You should grab her by the hair, throw her down, and drag her out!"

The executioner had no choice but to follow what the king said, grabbed the princess by the hair and pulled it hard. She fell to the ground and was dragged desperately to the execution ground.The executioner then dealt with the prince in the same way, tore a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, covered his eyes, and drew out his sword, intending to kill the prince first.As for the princess, he was going to kill her later, and wait for the people watching to intercede for her, maybe she still has a glimmer of life. The executioner fiddled with the bright sword in his hand, pointed it at the prince's neck, and swiped it up and down three times.At this critical time, many people present prayed sympathetically, hoping that Allah would rescue the princess and the prince.At the critical moment when the executioner raised his sword high, with one stroke of the knife to determine life and death, outside the palace, smoke and dust billowed and swept in, filling the entire sky and blocking people's sight.

What is going on here?It turned out that after Prince Artes left home, he did not return for a long time, and there was no news, which made his father Saiful Azamu very concerned and worried.So he personally led the troops to find his son.He and his troops rushed to the capital of Iraq. Just when the prince died, King Saif Azamu's troops rushed to the city, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust. King Lou Godier saw the dust rolled up in the air and asked in amazement: "What happened? Where did the dust all over the sky come from?" The prime minister got up immediately and rushed out of the palace, wanting to check the matter clearly.He looked as far as the eye could see, the place surrounded by smoke and dust was full of elite soldiers and good generals.The large group of people was as dense as locusts.He turned pale with shock, and hurried back to the palace to report the news that the soldiers were suppressing the border.

When the king heard that the soldiers were approaching the city, he yelled at the prime minister in horror: "Go and find out the origin of that army, find out the reason why their army is suppressing the border, and find out who is their commander-in-chief, and greet him for me, and find out who sent troops. the goal of. If he has any request, we will try our best to meet it.If he wants to conquer other countries, we can also fight together; if he wants to pay tribute, we can also do our best to satisfy him.We had to because they were overwhelmingly superior and obviously a strong and well-equipped army.If we don't take good care of us, we will inevitably be picked on by them. " The prime minister acted according to the order and immediately came forward to deal with it.He led some men and horses through the clumps of tents, teams of soldiers and swarms of guards, running non-stop from morning to night, before finally being able to enter the main camp, which was full of swords and swords, and came to the tent of King Saifu Azamu. forward.I saw a majestic king of a great country sitting in the tent. The guards on the left and right saw the prime minister and shouted loudly: "Kneel! Kneel!" With a shout, the prime minister immediately knelt down and kissed the ground, but before he could stand up straight, he was ordered to kneel down many times.He didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to kneel down again and again, kissing the ground.When he finally got up to answer, he was scared out of his wits and scared away, so he approached the king tremblingly, and said humbly: "Sing out the dignity and well-being of the monarch of the great country, may the Lord grant you long life and unlimited power. The lord of our country, Lu Godier, bowed his head to pay tribute to you, and asked the Lord what is the purpose of mobilizing the army and driving our country? If it is to attack a certain country , our lord is willing to follow and fight on the battlefield; if there is a certain request, our lord should do his best to meet it." "As an envoy, why don't you go back and tell me, the king of Shiraz, that you came here with your troops to find my son. Because he has been away from home for a long time, and his whereabouts have been unknown.If he is indeed in this city, I will take him away without harming any grass or tree. If something happens to him, even if he loses a hair, I will break through your city, seize your property, and behead men, women and children Kill all.Now that catastrophe is imminent, why don't you hurry up and explain the situation to your master clearly. " "Understood, I will do according to your will." The prime minister retreated obediently, and then heard the king and others shouting at him: "Kneel down! Kneel down!" He had no choice but to kneel down and kissed him twenty times The ground was able to escape.His heart almost jumped out of fear. The prime minister finally got out of the tent, his face was pale and he was in a panic.On the way back, when he thought of the majesty and majesty of the monarch of the great country and the thousands of troops, he was terrified.So he rushed back to the palace and told the king in detail what he had seen and heard. After hearing the prime minister's words, King Lou Godier was shocked and at a loss. Seeing that the whole kingdom was about to be destroyed, he couldn't help asking anxiously: "Aiqing, who is the son of the great king?" The prime minister was stuttering and didn't know how to answer, when someone next to him interrupted: "The son of the great king is the young man whom His Majesty ordered to be beheaded. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't urge him to be killed quickly, otherwise his father would have razed our country to the ground. Avenge him." "It was all your idea. You encouraged me to kill him." The king complained to the prime minister, "I don't know what happened to the king's son now?" "Your Majesty, didn't you ask the executioner to take him to execute him?" When the king heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He shouted and roared, "His head is about to fall! Damn it! Go tell them to stop and put a reprieve." The attendants on the left and right panicked and left the hall in a herd, and brought the executioner to the king's room.The executioner stood respectfully in the hall and said to the king, "Your Majesty, the servant ordered the prisoner to be beheaded." "Bastard, if you really kill him, I will let you go to heaven with him." The king berated the executioner. "Your Majesty, I am following orders, didn't you tell me not to ask you for instructions again?" the executioner hastily argued. "That's because I lost my head with anger." The king knew he had done something wrong, "Now tell the truth whether he is dead or alive." "Report to the king, I haven't executed the execution yet, he is still alive." When the king learned that the prince was still alive, he couldn't help being overjoyed, his heart fell like a stone, and he immediately ordered the prince to be taken to the palace.The prince was brought back to the king. The king stood up to greet him, and said kindly to him: "Son, it's all my fault. I have wronged you. I hope Allah will forgive me for my recklessness. As for this scandal that insults the family, please don't let me go. Bring it up in front of your father. lest he look down on me." "Your Majesty, King Shiraz, where are you now?" "He has come from thousands of miles to find you." "I swear by your majesty's body, if you can't restore the defiled reputation for me and Qianjin, I will not leave. I have never defiled Qianjin, and she is still as pure as ever. If you don't believe me, you can find The midwife verified it on the spot. If she has lost her virginity, I am willing to be beheaded. On the contrary, if she is still a pure and innocent girl, then the injustice I have suffered with her will be clearly revealed." The king agreed to the prince's request, and immediately called a midwife to verify the princess's chastity.After inspection, the midwife proved that the princess was intact and pure, so she happily told the king and asked him for a reward.The king generously bestowed gifts on the midwife and other court ladies present, and ordered the left and right to sprinkle perfume on the ministers as a sign of congratulations.Immediately, the palace was filled with fragrance and cheers, a scene of singing and dancing.The king excitedly hugged the prince tightly, expressed his respect and love to him, and sent his confidants to accompany him to take an incense bath. Prince Artes came back from bathing, put on a set of gorgeous clothes prepared by the king, put on a crown inlaid with beads and jade, tied a silk belt, and rode a pair of tall horses with gold saddles and silver stirrups. Accompanied to meet King Shiraz.Before leaving, the king said to the prince: "Send my respects to your father and tell him that I will definitely obey his orders and serve him." "I will definitely do it." The prince agreed to the king, and left happily, and happily walked out of the city to his father's camp with the civil and military courtiers. King Saiful Aza saw the return of Prince Artes, hurriedly got up and hugged him tightly.The reunion of father and son after a long absence, the joy is self-evident.After a while, the news of the prince's return spread throughout the army, making the whole army happy.Amidst the cheers, the civil servants and generals came to the king and knelt down to congratulate him on the safe return of the prince.Because the prince was safe and sound, and reunited with the king after a long absence, this day became a day of great joy in the army.Everyone sang and danced to the fullest.Faced with such a happy and grand situation, the prince readily agreed to accompany his father to inspect the civil and military officials and the people in the city.They visited the barracks at will to appreciate his father's elite soldiers and strong generals.Those who have seen the prince sitting in a shop doing business in the city feel very strange that it is a strange thing through the ages that a person as famous as the prince is willing to do business willingly. At the same time, the news that Prince Artes' father was approaching the city also reached the ears of the princess. Looking from the roof, she saw soldiers and horses all over the mountains.At that time, the princess was imprisoned. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Looking at the darkness outside the city, she knew that it was Artes' father's army. She forgot, and she died tragically at the hands of her father.She hastily sent a maid to the prince and told her: "Now go find the prince, don't be afraid. Kneel down when you see the prince, tell him that I sent you, and say to him, our highness greets you. She is under house arrest now, and her life and death are uncertain. Everything will be known after the verdict. Her father may spare her life, or may punish her to death, so she begs you not to forget her and abandon her. You are powerful now, you can call the shots, and you have no People dare to fight against you. You just have to say a word, you don't abandon her, you can save her from her father and let her be with you. It can't be better for you, and it can prove whether you Be considerate and caring for him. Do you know that she is suffering, and it would be very wrong for you to abandon her. Of course you should talk about this to your father, maybe he will help the princess get out of suffering, regain her freedom, and Before leaving, reach an agreement with the princess's father to ensure that the princess will no longer be persecuted and punished. This is her last request to you, may the Lord not make you feel lonely, and bless you with health and happiness." Following the instructions of Princess Haya Tufus, the maid secretly went to the barracks outside the palace, found the prince, and told him exactly what the princess had said. Hearing this, the prince couldn't help crying bitterly, and then he solemnly promised: "Don't worry, the princess is my master, and I am her slave and prisoner of love. Our love, I will never die in this life." Yu, the pain when I parted from her is tormenting me all the time. Go back and kiss the princess's feet for me, and tell her that I will tell my father about her current situation, and ask my father to propose marriage to her father for me. Second, her father didn't dare to refuse. If her father wanted her permission, she would agree quickly without any hesitation. Without her, I wouldn't go back to China." The maid returned to the palace, kissed the princess' feet, and relayed the prince's confession.After hearing the prince's heartfelt words, the princess could not help but turn her sorrow into joy, and shed tears of gratitude. That night, the prince and his father talked alone in the tent.The king asked about the situation of the prince after he left his hometown, and the prince explained the experience to the king in detail.The king said with emotion, "Son, what can I do for you? If I need to avenge you, I can immediately order to break into his city, plunder his property, and trample his wives and concubines. " "No, father! What I want is not this. In fact, there is nothing worthy of criticism for what he did. What I want is to continue to have a good relationship with Princess Haya Tufus, so please forgive my son's mood. , prepare a batch of gifts that can be called rare treasures, and send them to the wise and brave prime minister.” "I understand your thoughts, and I will definitely act according to your intentions." The king agreed without hesitation.He put out the treasures that he had carefully collected one by one, and let the prince look at them first, and after getting his approval, he called the prime minister and appointed him as an envoy to represent King Shiraz to deliver these gifts to Lu Ge King Dir, meanwhile, begged his daughter for the crown prince. Before leaving, the king told the prime minister: "You first pay tribute to the king, and ask him to accept the gift, and then propose marriage." Since the prince's return, King Lou Godier has been restless and uneasy all day long. He is worried that his country will be trampled and his property will be looted, and he feels that a catastrophe is imminent.I don't want the prime minister of Xilazi country to come to see him, and respectfully pay tribute to him on behalf of the king.King Gordier was flattered, got up and greeted the prime minister warmly.The prime minister hurriedly knelt down, kissed the king's feet, and thanked the king, saying: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I am an insignificant subject who came to pay homage to the noble monarch. I am really ashamed of the gift of standing up to greet His Majesty. Please allow me to tell you that after the return of our country's Prince Artes, he will be with us. The monarch of the country spoke freely, and after describing his thoughts, he mentioned many times that His Majesty took good care of him, which made our monarch deeply grateful, so he prepared a small gift, and wished His Majesty a long and boundless life." Hearing the prime minister's words of reconciliation and blessings, the king couldn't believe his ears, and was always in a state of panic and doubt. He didn't dispel all doubts until the prime minister handed over the gift.Seeing that those gifts were all priceless treasures, the treasures collected by uncommon monarchs could not be compared, so he felt ashamed of himself in front of the prime minister, and couldn't help but thank Allah and thank the prince. "Qizuo Your Majesty." The Prime Minister changed the subject, "This time, I was sent here to present a gift to Your Majesty. In addition to expressing goodwill and goodwill, I also want to form a friendship with your country between Qin and Jin. Therefore, on behalf of our country's monarch Prince Guoartes proposes marriage to your daughter, Princess Haya Tufus, and hopes that they will be united forever and grow old together. If His Majesty agrees, please discuss matters such as engagement and dowry in person.” "Understood, I am deeply honored and willing to marry. But as far as I am concerned, the little girl has grown up, and the marriage should be decided by herself, so I have to seek her own opinion on this good thing. So that she can get what she wants." After the king finished speaking, he instructed the eunuchs to tell the princess and ask for her own opinion. "Understood, I will go right away." The eunuch rushed to the harem according to the order, came to the princess' boudoir, knelt down and kissed the ground, repeated the king's words, and asked her: "Is Your Highness willing to accept the marriage proposal?" "I know about this, tell my father that I will obey his arrangement." The princess knew the inside story in advance, so she had a well-thought-out plan, and readily agreed without thinking. The eunuch returned to the palace and told the king that the princess had readily accepted the proposal.This news pleased the king greatly.He immediately ordered his subordinates to bring a set of expensive clothes and reward the prime minister, plus 10,000 gold coins.He also said to him: "Please report the matter of the princess's consent to the marriage to King Minggui, and save face for me, and allow me to visit him." "Okay, I must obey." The prime minister promised to leave and leave. Back in the tent, he reported the passage of the trip and the news that King Lou Godier and his daughter agreed to marry each other, and also expressed King Lou Godier's wish to see him. King Saiful Azamu and Prince Ates were very happy after hearing the report, especially the prince felt extremely relieved and extremely happy.At the same time, the king happily agreed to receive King Lou Godil amidst joyous singing and laughing. The next day, King Lou Godil led several capable generals on horseback and called on King Saiful Azamu as scheduled.They were warmly and thoughtfully received, regarded as honored guests, and received warm blessings.The two kings had a heart-to-heart talk with each other, as if they were relatives and friends, and they even reached a marriage agreement in person.The prince was also greeting the guests at the side.Among the entourages of King Lou Gautier, one of the most eloquent orators made an impromptu and impromptu speech, wishing the prince and princess a happy marriage, and sincerely wishing that they treat each other as guests and have a good relationship for a hundred years.King Saiful Azamu ordered to fetch a box of pearls, precious stones and fifty thousand gold coins, put it in front of King Lou Godil, and said: "As for the matter of engagement, let the widow handle it. These things are regarded as the bride price for the prince's proposal. Please accept it." King Lou Godier gladly accepted the dowry, and he himself took out 50,000 gold coins for the princess's dowry.Afterwards, he invited judges and witnesses to formally hold the engagement ceremony for Prince Artes and Princess Haya Tufus and write a marriage letter.In this way, the marriage ceremony was successfully completed, and both countries cheered for it, which became a good story for a while. Then the princess and the prince chose a date to get married, and the banquet was unprecedentedly grand for all guests.On the night of festive candles, Prince Arthur found that Haya Tufus was indeed flawless, like an undrilled pearl and a pony that no one had ridden, so he felt that she was more beautiful and lovely . Prince Arthur was too happy to contain himself.The happiness and happiness of their newlyweds were all displayed in front of their father, which made King Saiful Azamu very happy.He asked, "Son! Before you leave home, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" "Yes, father! Do you still remember the prime minister with ulterior motives and the eunuch who spread rumors to slander me and the princess? I will not let them go, the day of revenge has come." King Saiful Azamu heard this, and immediately sent someone into the palace to ask for someone from King Lou Godil.Fearing the power of King Shiraz, King Lou Godier dared not disobey the slightest, and immediately handed over the prime minister and eunuchs to someone who came to take them away. So King Saif Azamu ordered the execution of the prime minister and eunuch of Iraq, and hanged them on the city gate as a punishment.Then they stayed for a few more days, and then they bid farewell to King Lou Gautier, and prepared to take the prince and princess to return home.Before the princess set off, King Lou Godier prepared all the luggage for her. There was a fine horse to pull the cart for her to carry the dowry, and there was also a special red gold seat inlaid with beads and jade, which was placed in the sedan chair for her. Sit back and use.In order to make her feel comfortable and happy along the way, a whole team of people, servants and servants were sent to wait around.The princess also recalled the wet nurse who was so frightened that she hid, and let her return to her side to accompany her. On the day when King Saiful Azamu led the prince, princess and soldiers to set off in a mighty way, King Lou Godil rode to see him off on horseback.When he was far away from the outskirts of the city, King Saiful Azamu repeatedly dissuaded him and asked him to stay, so he hugged King Saiful Azamu tightly, kissed his forehead passionately, and expressed his sincere respect for him. King Saiful Azamu's magnanimous gratitude, and entrusting him to take care of his daughter, finally turned to Princess Haya Tufus reluctantly, hugged her tightly, and bid her farewell.The princess kissed the king's hands reluctantly.The father and daughter were reluctant to part, and shed tears of farewell to each other. Send you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell.King Lou Godil watched King Saiful Azam and the prince and princess go away, and then returned to the city with a sense of loss. In this way, King Saiful Azamu led Prince Ates and Princess Haya Tufus back to the Kingdom of Shiraz safely after a long journey.The king was eager to love his son, so he held a grand wedding for the prince and princess in his own country, and feasted the guests.From then on, they lived an extremely happy, comfortable and happy life and grew old together.
