The inn is the courtyard where the envoys from the Western Regions previously lived.
Jiang Yueyang, the Minister of Honglu Temple and others did not leave immediately after sending the Tibetan envoys here, because Emperor Yuan would definitely hold a banquet to entertain Tibet today, so they were waiting for news from Emperor Yuan.
Sure enough, after they chatted with Dawa Gyaltsen for half an hour, Emperor Yuan sent someone to summon them into the palace.
The banquet was held in the Hanyuan Hall, which was brightly lit and filled with table after table of delicious food.
Emperor Yuan sat high on the throne with a dignified look.
Jiang Yueyang and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, along with Dawa Gyaltsen, Princess Sangji and other envoys, entered the palace and paid their respects to Emperor Yuan.
"Stand up." The Yuan Emperor said in a loud voice, "Today's banquet is held only to welcome the Tibetan envoys to come here in compliance with their promise!"
Dawa Gyaltsen stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Khan, for your hospitality. We Tubo are willing to maintain friendly relations with Daxia for generations."
As he said this, he looked at Princess Sangji beside him and said, "Respected Tian Khan, please let Rongdawa Gyaltsen introduce this to me. This is Princess Sangji of Tubo."
As his voice fell, Princess Sangji raised her hand and lifted the veil from her face, revealing her charming face.
Princess Sangji's skin was not wheat-colored or bronze-colored like other Tibetans. Instead, her skin was as white as cream and very delicate.
Her beauty was so stunning that several young officials present were stunned.
Jiang Yueyang also praised the system: [This Princess Sangji is so beautiful, isn't she? ]
【Yeah, it looks very nice. 】
Dawa Gyaltsen went on to say: "To show the sincerity of Tubo's wish to maintain friendship with Bactria for generations, Zampte presented Princess Sangji to the Heavenly Khan."
Hearing Dawa Gyaltsen's words, Emperor Yuan subconsciously felt that Tubo wanted to marry Princess Sangji to his prince, so he politely refused, saying, "I appreciate the good intention of the Zamp, but my princes..."
"Hey~" Dawa Gyaltsen raised his hand to interrupt the Yuan Emperor, "Tian Khan misunderstood. Zamp is not going to offer Princess Sangji to Tian Khan's prince, but to Tian Khan."
"Present it to me?" Emperor Yuan was surprised.
The officials present also showed surprised expressions and couldn't help wondering, what does Tubo want to do by presenting such a beautiful princess to His Majesty?
Jiang Yueyang said with a sigh: [I didn't expect that His Majesty is already over 40 years old and still has such a good fortune. How embarrassed is the Right Prime Minister and the others? ]
Emperor Yuan: “…” Don’t you emphasize that I will die at my age?
The Right Prime Minister was speechless and puzzled. Didn’t he usually call out the Duke of Yingguo and the Duke of Suguo?
Duke Yingguo and Duke Suguo said that they had never taken concubines!
Seeing that Dawa Gyaltsen was waiting for his answer, the Yuan Emperor cleared his throat and said, "The princess is in her prime, but I am already in my forties. I should not delay her life."
"How could that be? The Khan is in his prime..."
"There are many concubines in the harem, and I have stopped taking any more concubines a long time ago. This would be a betrayal of the king's kindness." Emperor Yuan interrupted Dawa Gyaltsen softly, and his meaning was very clear.
Dawa Gyaltsen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not insist, "Tian Khan, please don't say that. It is Princess Sangji who is not blessed to serve Tian Khan."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang blinked in confusion, [So... they gave up? Could it be that they really had no intention in offering the princess to His Majesty, and were just expressing their sincerity in making peace? ]
【There is definitely an intention.】
At this time, Princess Sangji bowed to Emperor Yuan and said, "The Khan is wise and powerful. Sangji knows that she is unlucky and does not dare to hope to serve him. I wish the Khan good health and prosperity for the country."
Emperor Yuan listened to Jiang Yueyang and the others' conversation and responded, "Princess, you are too polite."
[What are their intentions?] Jiang Yueyang asked.
System: [When the Tibetan king saw that the emperor had sent troops to attack the Eastern Turks, he thought about how they had not been very polite to Daxia before, and was afraid that the emperor would wake up one day and send troops to Tibet, so he wanted to offer Princess Sangji to the emperor to show his sincerity.
But Princess Sangji is not Princess Sangji, and Dawa Gyaltsen is afraid that the fake princess will be discovered after entering the palace, causing greater trouble.
After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang was even more confused. [Didn't the Tibetan king send a princess to show his sincerity? Why did he send a fake princess? Are they afraid that His Majesty will not send troops to Tibet? ]
Emperor Yuan and the officials present all nodded secretly. Who would show sincerity by sending a fake princess?
Isn't this a blatant humiliation?
Dawa Gyaltsen, Princess Sangji and other envoys took their seats at the signal of Emperor Yuan, and soon the dancers entered the hall to perform.
The system said: [Of course the Tibetan king would not send a fake princess to slap the emperor's face or Daxia's face. Did you see the maid behind Princess Sangji? That is the real Princess Sangji.]
Jiang Yueyang looked over in the direction of the sound, and Emperor Yuan and the officials present also looked over without noticing.
The maid lowered her head slightly. She was tall, with wheat-colored skin and a few freckles on her face.
Jiang Yueyang thought the maid's makeup was a little strange and suspected that she was deliberately making herself ugly.
[Little melon, Princess Sangji is unwilling to be His Majesty's concubine? ] Jiang Yueyang asked.
[Yes, Princess Sangji heard that the emperor was old and ugly, and she refused to come to Daxia no matter what.]
Emperor Yuan: ...Old and ugly?
The officials present tried to hold back their laughter. It was too much for him to be so old and ugly. His Majesty still looked quite handsome.
Jiang Yueyang: [And then? ]
[Of course, Princess Sangji’s arm cannot beat the Tubo Zamp’s thigh, so she has to come no matter how reluctant she is!
The moment she stepped out of Tubo, Princess Sangji accepted her fate, thinking that the emperor only had a few more years to live and she could just hold on and it would pass.
Moreover, she knew that Daxia had no custom of burying people alive with their dead, so she planned to wait until the emperor died, and then ask her father to take her back from Daxia.
Emperor Yuan looked at the real Princess Sangji with a dark face and felt angry. He was only a little over forty and had a long life ahead of him!
It’s not certain who will die first, you or me!
Damn little girl!
Jiang Yueyang was amused. [That Princess Sangji was really bold and naive. As the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Didn't she think that if she wasn't careful, His Majesty would sentence her to death?
However, since she had made up her mind to wait for His Majesty to die, why did she ask the maid to impersonate her? 】
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Emperor Yuan was so angry that he shouted in his heart, "If you mention the word 'death' again, I... I will curse you!"
[Because Princess Sangji fell in love with Dawa Gyaltsen on the way to Daxia! ] The system replied.
[Ah... this... is a match made in heaven.] Jiang Yueyang's conversation with the system ended here.
Just at this time, the dancer finished a dance and left, and Dawa Gyaltsen stood up.
He looked at Emperor Yuan and said with a smile: "Respected Tian Khan, I heard that Daxia has many masters, and my Tubo also has many warriors.
Why not set up a ring for them to compete, so we can also appreciate the style of Daxia!"
When Emperor Yuan heard Dawa Gyaltsen take the initiative to propose a duel, a bad idea suddenly flashed through his mind and he couldn't help laughing.
"Okay!" Emperor Yuan glanced at Princess Sangji, then looked at Dawa Gyaltsen meaningfully, "I just realized the good intentions of the Zamp, and I feel deeply sorry. How about I choose a good husband for Princess Sangji?"
