128 Chapter 128: The Kingdom of Women
The civil and military officials in the palace looked at each other and no one dared to speak, but the audience outside the screen had no scruples.
"Ohhhh! Love at first sight! This must be love at first sight!"
"Hahaha, is Her Majesty the Queen okay? She was stunned by Taoist Tang!"
"Her Majesty's appearance remains as beautiful as ever even after being magnified on the big screen!"
"To be honest, Taoist Tang is indeed good-looking, elegant and handsome. It's no wonder that the Queen is attracted to him."
"What a pity that he is a ruthless cultivator..."
"What are you afraid of? Her Majesty the Queen will take him down sooner or later anyway!"
The Queen on the screen in the discussion room had been silent for so long that a silver-haired Grand Tutor couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed twice and leaned forward to remind her, "Her Majesty? Her Majesty!"
Her Majesty, having regained her composure, blushed profusely. She shyly lowered the curtain before her, "Master Tang, please rise quickly. You must be very tired after this long journey. Someone, please offer me a seat!"
The civil and military officials who had been standing there all morning said: ...
What happened when they looked at each other for a short while?
At this moment, Taoist Tang came to his senses and sighed inwardly at the beauty of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women. However, this stunning sight did not in the least shake his resolve to continue his travels. So he declined the servant's offer of a chair and stood up to take his leave.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I simply stumbled upon this precious place by mistake. It was unintentional to disturb your subjects. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will take my disciples and leave..."
"Eh? Master Tang has come a long way, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wouldn't it be seen by others as our Xiliang Women's Kingdom not knowing how to entertain guests?" The hazy figure behind the veil of Her Majesty the Queen seemed to bow her head and chuckle.
"Why don't you ask the Taoist priest to take his disciples to the inn to rest first? I'll invite you to a garden banquet tomorrow when I'm free, to show my hospitality."
"Ah?" Taoist Priest Tang never expected that a wandering Taoist like him could receive such treatment. He quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's really not necessary..."
"This is the way we treat guests in the Xiliang Kingdom. Taoist priest, there is no need to refuse." However, Her Majesty the Queen did not give him a chance to refuse. She gently lifted the curtain and smiled at the somewhat flustered Taoist priest Tang with her red lips.
"Come on, hurry up and prepare the food and wine. Please have Taoist Tang rest well. I'll host a welcome dinner for him right after I leave the court!"
When the guards and ministers below saw the queen's smiling face, they immediately understood what she meant and rushed forward. They surrounded Taoist Tang, who had no say at all, with a very warm but unyielding attitude and led him to the post station.
"Her Majesty is quite proactive. I thought she would be shy and timid like an ordinary woman..."
"What are you thinking? He's the king, what can't he get? If he meets someone he likes, of course he will take the initiative!"
Qi Ling was also struck by the previous scene. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled unconsciously: "This love at first sight is progressing so quickly. At this rate, will the Queen soon start to develop feelings for the Taoist priest?"
Then, after a struggle of love and hate, the Taoist priest returns to secular life and the lovers finally get married. This is what is written in the recently released picture books.
Most of the audience shared the same idea as Qi Ling. They thought that what would happen next was that the Queen would take the initiative to create conditions for the two to develop feelings, but it was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen did not think so. She was ready to do it in one step.
"You said that you want me to propose marriage to Taoist Tang on your behalf?" The Grand Tutor covered his mouth with a look of surprise.
Qi Ling: Is it progressing so fast right from the start?
Her Majesty's face was rosy, and she nodded shyly with her handkerchief covering her face. "Master Tang is a handsome man, and it has been hundreds of years since my Xiliang Women's Kingdom has met a man. I think this is a great fate."
"But...that Taoist Priest Tang..." Isn't he a Taoist priest? Can he get married?
"You also think I'm being abrupt?" Her Majesty frowned in annoyance. "But I truly admire Master Tang... How about this..." At this point, she seemed to have made up her mind:
"Tell him I am willing to marry him with all the wealth of a kingdom. When we get married, he will be the king and I will be the queen. We will live here as a pair of carefree lovers."
The Grand Tutor was surprised at first, then looked at the Queen's extremely serious expression. She thought for a moment and finally agreed: "As you wish."
Her Majesty the Queen is stunningly beautiful and is willing to give him wealth and power. With such a sincere heart, I believe no man would not be moved.
So what if he's a Taoist priest? Even a stone should be warmed up!
After the Grand Tutor took the order and left, the Queen gently lifted the silk handkerchief covering the table. It was a half-embroidered purse. The exquisite silk could not hide the unfamiliar and awkward stitches on it. The pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water looked like two malnourished ducks. No wonder the Queen had covered it with the handkerchief just now.
"Oh, if I had known earlier I would have learned needlework well..." Her Majesty the Queen sighed as she touched the crudely made purse in her hand. Then, she thought of something, and she held the purse tightly with one hand on her chin, sitting on the couch like a little girl with a sweet smile on her face.
"Let's make some more changes. It's better to make the token of love by hand to show more sincerity..."
Outside the big screen, many viewers were jealous.
"No, did I hear correctly? Let Taoist Tang be the king?"
"Her Majesty the Queen has completely fallen. What kind of heaven-sent fortune is this, Taoist Tang?"
"Others are having a hard time deciding between the kingdom and the beauty, but Taoist Tang is different. The beauty and the kingdom are all rushing to his hands."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so kind! She even hid away and embroidered a purse herself. She's so adorable..."
"Is this the legendary marriage proposal? Why can't I ever encounter such a good thing?"
"I was wondering how a senior Wuru Dao cultivator could fall like this. Who could withstand this?"
"I really practice the ruthless way. I can't stand it either!"
"Don't talk about being ruthless. I'm a woman and I can't stand it!"
Facts have proved that Taoist Tang can hold on.
Not only did he withstand it, he even refused without mercy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have long devoted myself to the path of ruthlessness and vowed to give up all love in this life. I cannot afford your kindness." Taoist Tang had a cold look on his face. He then closed his eyes and began to chant. No matter how the Grand Tutor spoke, Taoist Tang remained unmoved.
Qi Ling:?
No, you are right, right? How can there be a male protagonist as stupid as you?
Not only Qi Ling, many audiences were so angry at Master Tang's appearance that they slapped their thighs and instantly sympathized with the angry-looking Grand Tutor.
"Master Tang, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"
"Are you made of wood? You have no heart!"
"Weren't you also staring at the Queen in amazement just now? What are you refusing?"
However, no matter what the Grand Tutor said, Taoist Tang was determined. Seeing that the smile on the Grand Tutor's face could hardly be maintained, the monkey demon named Wukong was about to agree on behalf of his master, but suddenly something strange happened. Taoist Tang suddenly curled up on the ground, holding his stomach, and seemed to have unbearable abdominal pain.
"Master Tang!" "Master, are you okay?"
Everyone in the room was in a panic. Before they could figure out what had happened to Taoist Tang, the pig demon over there was also rolling on the ground, clutching his stomach, wailing as he rolled, looking extremely painful.
"Ouch, ouch! My stomach hurts so much! Someone is trying to poison me!"
"Don't talk nonsense! You're going to be in-laws soon, why would they poison you?" Wukong had just helped his master to lie down when he turned around and picked up the idiot from the ground. He touched Zhu Bajie's round belly and said, "I told you not to drink anything carelessly. It must be that the river water was unclean. You and your master drank it and got diarrhea!"
Upon hearing Wukong's words, the Grand Master, who had been extremely worried just now, suddenly looked strange. "River water? Excuse me, did you drink the water from the river outside the city?"
Zhu Bajie clutched his stomach and groaned as he replied, "Yes, I drank it. My master and I both drank that water. Who knew that the water, which looked clear, was actually so unclean!"
Taoist Priest Tang was also sweating from the pain: "I'd like to trouble the Grand Tutor to ask a doctor to come and take a look at us and prescribe a prescription..."
“Hahahahahaha!”
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
“Haha, hahahahaha…”
Who knew that before Taoist Tang finished speaking, all the guards, servants and officials in the room burst into laughter, and the Grand Tutor's face turned red with laughter. The whole room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The audience was as confused as Master Tang and his three disciples.
"What are they laughing at?"
"I don't know. It seems like he started laughing when he heard the river water. Is there something special about the river water?"
On the screen, no matter how they questioned the female officials, they were all laughing so hard that they could not speak. Finally, Sun Wukong got angry and pointed at the leading Taishi and asked:
"What's wrong with you? My master is sick, and instead of calling a doctor, you're just standing here mocking him? Is this how you, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, treat your distinguished guests?"
Considering that this Taoist priest Tang would eventually become the Queen's husband, the Grand Tutor, who was almost laughing to death, finally calmed down, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and spoke breathlessly:
"Elder Sun, please be patient. Even the most skilled doctor can't cure your master's illness!"
"Why is that?"
"Well, this has to start from the fact that there are no men in my Xiliang Women's Kingdom..." The Grand Tutor sighed and began to explain.
To put it simply, the river outside the city is called Zimu River. Because there have never been men in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, women who want to reproduce will drink the water of the Zimu River, and after drinking it, they will give birth to children.
"Your master and fellow apprentice drank the water from the river. Now they have formed fetal energy in their bellies. I'm afraid they're going to give birth soon!" The Grand Tutor couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"Huh?" Taoist Priest Tang and Zhu Bajie were horrified upon hearing this. Taoist Priest Tang looked frantically in the direction of Sun Wukong: "Wukong, Wukong! What should we do?"
Zhu Bajie was even more exaggerated. His amazing brain circuit almost instantly accepted the fact that he was about to give birth, but he was worried about another thing: "I am a man, so where will this child come from?"
Sun Wukong really thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't worry, as the saying goes, when the time comes, the melon will fall off the vine. Maybe it will burst a hole under its ribs and come out."
Zhu Bajie gasped when he heard this: "That sounds too painful, doesn't it? No, I can't bear it!"
The Sha Monk, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Second Brother, please don't be awkward. Be careful not to disturb the fetus."
"Alas, but I'm in so much pain..." He held Sun Wukong's hand and warned with tears in his eyes: "Brother, please find me a midwife with a gentle hand!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it!" Sun Wukong patted his chest and agreed.
"You, you guys..." Taoist Tang covered his stomach and was so angry at the rebellious followers that he couldn't speak.
Audience members who saw this: ...
No, your master is pregnant! As a man, he is pregnant!
As disciples, is this your reaction?
And that Zhu Bajie, you just accepted it when I told you you were pregnant? And you even had to find a midwife? You're really too ambitious!
The train of thought of you three demon cultivators is really weird. Why on earth would Taoist Tang, a normal person, take a bunch of weirdos like you around?
but……
"puff!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
"Ahahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha..."
Soon, happy laughter was also heard in the cinema.
【Author’s words】
Sometimes I wonder, if Tang Sanzang really gave birth, would he and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women be considered GB? From this perspective, some XPs really have existed since ancient times [dog head]
