Chapter 680: The Lord of the Two Countries Forms Friendship
In a blink of an eye, it was the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the fleet of the Qiangwan mission docked at the largest wharf in the capital.
Wan Lin and King Jie led all the officials of Honglu Temple, as well as the escort team and band that greeted the mission, and they had already waited here half an hour in advance.
When he was about to land, Datta stood on the deck, looking at the bustling capital with fascination.
Because there was a speedboat to report the specific arrival time of the mission, so in order to let the Qiangwan mission feel the prosperity and wealth of Dachen, the capital did not implement a curfew before the fifteenth, even if it was night, the capital was brilliantly lit.
Data saw the lights of the capital from a distance, and saw the prosperity and grandeur of the capital of Dachen, and Data couldn't help but be shocked and admired.
Datta excitedly said to the queen, "Norma, have you seen the prosperity of Dachen?" It is Lonely's wish to make Qiang Wan as prosperous and strong as Dachen! ”
Norma was also shocked by Dachen's prosperity, and said sincerely: "Dachen is a famous powerhouse, and Your Majesty was able to get Dachen's help, which shows that you are deeply blessed." Today, we are finally going to set foot on the land of Dachen to repay our benefactor, and the concubine's heart is really excited. ”
Datta grabbed Norma's hand and sighed: "Since the day Lone ascended the throne, Lone has wanted to come to Dachen as soon as possible to repay his kindness. Just in time for Prince Dachen's wedding, it can also allow Gu to take this opportunity to bring more gifts to express his heart. When Lone meets the benefactors, Lone wants to introduce them to you ceremoniously. ”
King Jie saw that Qiangwan's fleet was getting closer and closer, so he said to Wan Lin: "When you were asked to calm Qiangwan's civil strife in the name of an envoy, your newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so you really went. You don't know how sad my father was when the fake news that you were killed in the civil strife came back home. If you really had three longs and two shorts, Qiang Wan would probably have been flattened by Dachen's iron cavalry by now. ”
Wan Lin remembered that time in Qiangwan, although he was also a little afraid, but with Fu Xiaojiu by his side, he felt more at ease.
Wan Lin said truthfully: "In fact, the minister sometimes fears when he thinks back to that time. After all, the minister's wife is still with the minister, and the minister is much more at ease. If something happens to us, Your Majesty will be sad, and the minister can't imagine how the minister's family will continue to live. ”
"Your lady is the lucky star of you and your family!" King Jie smiled at Wan Lin and turned his head to look at the sea.
"Look, Qiang Wan's fleet is about to dock!"
Qiang Wan also came this time to show his national strength, so the fleet that came this time was more than the previous visits, there were 100 search ships, and the number of the mission was as high as more than 300 people.
Among them, ten ships were full of gifts for Dachen, in addition to treasures such as gold and silver treasures, there were many Qiangwan fruits and vegetables and various specialties and so on.
Data saw Wan Lin at first sight, and beckoned to him happily.
Wan Lin hurriedly saluted him with the gift of Qiang Wan.
Datta already knew that King Jie and Wan Lin served as the greeting envoy together, so he saw that the person who stood beside Wan Lin was gentle and graceful.
"You see, that's the lonely benefactor Wan Lin, and standing next to him is the third prince of Dachen, King Jie." Datta introduced Norma.
Norma couldn't help but admire Wan Lin when she saw her, "It turns out that your benefactor is so young! ”
The two slowly walked down from the boat, Wan Lin and King Jie greeted them with a smile, and the orchestra played a cheerful and atmospheric music the moment they stepped down.
"Greetings to His Majesty, Queen, welcome to Dachen!"
King Jie and Wan Lin said in unison.
Data and Norma first smiled at the two of them, and then Data said to Wan Lin in Dachen's dialect: "Lord Wan, long time no see!" You're really getting more and more in the wind! ”
Wan Lin said modestly: "You have won the prize!" ”
Datta said to King Jie, "You are His Royal Highness!" You are really a talent, and your bearing is extraordinary! ”
King Jie smiled humbly, and also praised Data: "Your Majesty has won the award." His Majesty the King is truly extraordinary! ”
Data joked: "Hahaha, is this Dachen's etiquette?" When you meet, you can praise Lonely! ”
After Data finished speaking, he suddenly showed an inquiring look, and then asked puzzledly, "What about Fu Xiao?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”
Wan Lin was stunned for a moment before replying, "Oh, he has other tasks, and he is not in the team that greets you this time." ”
Data was a little disappointed at first, and then asked expectantly, "When will Lone see him?" Lone wants to thank him again! If he hadn't saved Gu with his clever medical skills, where would Gu be where he is today? ”
Wan Lin smiled: "Don't worry, the minister will let him come to see you." ”
Datta nodded, "Okay, then Lone is waiting for him." ”
Wan Lin and King Jie invited Data and his wife to the ornate seat, and walked to the palace amid festive music.
When the people of the capital heard that the king and queen of Qiangwan had come to visit Dachen with an envoy, they all poured into the streets to see their demeanor.
The seats prepared by the emperor for them were covered with light veils, so that they could see the style of Dachen along the road.
And the people can only see the two of them vaguely, but they can also see the luxurious demeanor of Datta and Norma.
Data and Norma were once again shocked by Dachen's prosperity, and Data said with ambition: "Dachen is Lone's example, Lone must govern Qiang Wan to such a prosperous life, so that the people can live a safe and prosperous life." ”
Norma also said yearningly: "Your wish will definitely come true, and the people of Qiangwan are also blessed to have a king like you." ”
Datta and Norma, as well as all the members of the Qiangwan Mission, were amazed by Dachen's prosperity, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
The emperor and the queen are preparing to welcome the embassy in the palace, and the palace is also brightly lit today, looking like a dazzling and magnificent fairy palace from a distance.
Fu Xiaojiu stood on the side of the harem concubines in gorgeous clothes, stretching his neck from time to time to look into the distance, looking forward to the arrival of the mission.
Yun Guifei is still wearing heavy makeup and glamorous today, and she is full of light.
She is not delicate and weak, and she can't see that she almost had a miscarriage before.
Gurti deliberately wore a gorgeous dress with Qiang Wan characteristics today, and she bloomed with a unique style in the hundred purples and thousands of reds of the harem.
In the expectation of everyone, the Qiangwan mission finally entered the magnificent palace.
The crown prince sat on the seat with a majestic expression, he was wearing a red python robe, a golden crown on his head, and he exuded the spirit of a king all over his body, and he was the most eye-catching one among the princes.
Datta and Norma stepped down from their seats and walked into the main hall with the mission.
The moment they walked into the main hall, the emperor showed a sincere smile and said in a loud voice: "Welcome, my friend Qiangwan!" ”
The emperor stood up as he spoke, and the queen followed suit.
After all, Datta is the lord of a country, and Qiang Wan is not a vassal state of Dachen, but a friendly neighbor, so the emperor and queen treat them more ceremoniously and politely than receiving ordinary missions.
The emperor and the queen walked in front of Datta and Norma with steady and powerful steps, and after the four of them saluted each other with the etiquette of each country, Datta enthusiastically stretched out his hands to the emperor, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Data said in the emperor's ear with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor, for reaching out to help the lonely country!" Protected the people of Qiangwan! ”
Seeing that Datta was so grateful to repay his kindness, the emperor was very pleased, and said enthusiastically: "You and I are brothers and neighbors, lips and teeth depend on each other, I am helping you and I am helping myself, and I am helping Dachen!" ”
Data let go of the emperor, but took the emperor's hand again, and said excitedly: "Having said that, you and Dachen are alone in helping Qiang Wan. You can only bring these gifts that you can't handle, and please don't dislike them. ”
After saying that, Datta said to the people who turned back to the mission, "Bring all the gifts you brought to Dachen!" ”
When they heard this, they immediately presented all the gifts, but because they were so many of them, some of them had to be kept outside the temple.
Everyone was surprised that Qiang Wan was so generous, and the emperor and queen also showed a look of astonishment.
The emperor hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why did you bring so many gifts?" We can't afford this! ”
Datta said sincerely: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, this is clear. And this time it coincides with the prince's wedding, so Lone has to bring more gifts than usual. But Dachen is rich, and these gifts brought by Gu are afraid to make a kingdom like Dachen laugh. ”
After Datta finished speaking, the emperor was moved to take Datta's hand, although he didn't speak again, but the emperor's eyes had already told Datta that he had made Datta a friend.
Datta also ordered someone to introduce the big wedding gifts he had prepared for the prince to the emperor and the prince, and the prince saw these gifts and expressed his sincere gratitude to Datta.
The dinner party to welcome the Qiang Wan delegation officially began, and when the dancers led by Data showed off their charming dancing at the banquet, almost all the men looked straight at it.
Gurti's worried scene appeared, and she immediately looked at the emperor.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she was looking at the emperor, the emperor also happened to look at her.
The emperor looked at her eyes and smiled softly at her, and the tip of Gurti's heart suddenly trembled.
She used to think that after she was sent to the palace, she would have the tragic fate of being favored and left behind by the emperor for a while.
But what she didn't expect was that the emperor was so affectionate to her, and even on such an occasion, the emperor was not much interested in these radiant dancers.
After the dancing girls, Datta introduced these one-in-a-million dancers to the emperor.
The emperor accepted his kindness, but only said that he would accept them among the court dancers.
Gurti was unique among the harem concubines, so it was easy for Datta to notice her.
Datta had seen Gulti in the past and vaguely remembered her appearance, but now when he saw her wearing gold and silver, and her ruddy complexion, he knew that she was favored by the emperor.
This can be regarded as a marriage between the two countries, which makes Data's heart more steady.
Norma also brought a gift to the hero of Gurti, and she stood up after the dancer retired.
