The messenger doesn't translate, but there are people who can understand it!
Prince Tian turned to the messenger and said, "Speak up. Even if you don't, it's not like no one will understand."
The messenger reluctantly translated the message.
The emperor's eyes shone even brighter, but he had to restrain himself from gleefully glancing at Lu Zheng.
He also had to feign being offended and say coldly, "I never imagined your country had such etiquette."
The translator was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He secretly wiped his brow and then translated the emperor's words for Prince Tian Tian.
Prince Tian bowed and apologized: "If I have been too presumptuous, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. But I am simply too captivated. I cannot take my eyes off Princess Xin Xin. My desire to marry her is very firm. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."
Before the messenger could even translate, Gu Xin turned around and said, "Really? You think you're worthy? You?"
Gu Xin spoke in Dongzhe language, which the people of Dazhou couldn't understand, but they could all tell that Gu Xin's expression was different from usual.
Whether it was because of an emperor who loved watching a spectacle or not, the officials of the Great Zhou were quite curious to see how Gu Xin would deal with this person who had so arrogantly disrespected her in public.
This is not only disrespectful to her, but also to Lu Zheng, and even more so to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
They didn't know if the Eastern Zhe Kingdom had the same rule that Prince Tian Tian mentioned, but this rule was clearly not feasible in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wasn't this just forcing things?
Fortunately, Princess Xin Xin and General Lu have a deep affection for each other, and nothing can separate them. If they had met a more petty man, he probably would have been jealous long ago.
Gu Xin turned to the emperor and clasped her hands in a fist salute: "Your Majesty, please allow me to be disrespectful and intend to resort to violence in the main hall."
The emperor, with a serious expression, said, "Ah... this..."
The messenger quickly translated for Prince Tian Tian.
Before the emperor could hesitate for long, Prince Tiantian immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing. I want to know if the woman who makes me fall in love at first sight can make me fall in love with her more and more."
The emperor was so excited! Good heavens, is this guy stupid? He just walked right into the door to get beaten up on his very first day?
So much fun!
But he still had to feign a troubled expression: "Ah... this..."
Gu Xin said, "Your Majesty, my hand is a little sore right now, I have to hit someone!"
The emperor and the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty almost burst out laughing. After the messengers from the Southern Lin Kingdom and the Jia Cang Kingdom translated for their princess and general, Long Zhu'er and Shi Mu also looked at Gu Xin with great curiosity.
This conversation suggests that Princess Xinxin's status in the Great Zhou Dynasty might be even higher than rumored; after all, no one in their community would dare to speak to them like that.
After listening to the messenger's translation, Prince Tiantian became excited and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please grant the princess's request."
After listening to the translation, the emperor said with a serious expression, "Our Xin Xin is quite skilled in martial arts. I'm worried that you, Prince Tian Tian, might get hurt, which would damage the harmony between our two countries."
After listening to the translation, Prince Tiantian quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, regardless of the outcome, I represent Dongzhe, and I will never be angry, nor will I allow the friendship between our two countries to end because of this. However, Your Majesty, may I make a request? If I defeat Princess Xinxin, could Your Majesty persuade Princess Xinxin to give me more opportunities to demonstrate my abilities?"
