After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked barefoot on the table, "This king is going to rest, early tomorrow morning, the caravan of Daming should be able to come, and the rest of the matter will be discussed when they arrive." ”

La Meixuan's interpreter translated Zhu Gaoxian's words, and Zhu Gaoxuan's later words were instructed by Jingqing, and he also informed La Meixuan.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Lamei Xuan couldn't care about Queen Rama, he got up quickly and personally led Zhu Gaoxian to the guest room on the second floor of the palace.

When they entered the room, Gou Er and Gu Yun took over La Meixuan's service, and the attendants who accompanied them also began to get busy, first replacing all the covers on the bed, and replacing all the other utensils with those used by Zhu Gaoxian, and changing the furnishings to the mode he was used to.

Queen Rama returned to her lodgings, and she tossed the wine brought by the maid to the floor and sat down on the mat in a fit of rage.

The maid trembled and knelt on the ground, and the lady beside her advised, "Queen, I think that the king will be very angry that the guests of the Ming Dynasty are so disrespectful to the king and queen. ”

"Hmph, all he knows is fear!" What lingered in Queen Rama's mind was the handsome appearance of the Ming prince, his sturdy body, soft fabrics attached to his body, vaguely showing his abdominal muscles and waist full of strength, as well as slender and powerful thighs.

And La Meixuan is already old and can't satisfy her desires at all.

When Lamexuan was young, she didn't belong to her, and when he was the strongest, she wasn't born yet.

Unfortunately, on her first wedding night, she was also an old monk to please the red. Later, she heard that the daughters of poor families, some of the young monks, came to do such things, and they could be happy in the first place.

La Meixuan soon returned, because Jingqing did not discuss diplomatic relations with him.

Seeing Queen Rama, Lameixuan was very displeased, and the Ming prince's rejection of Queen Rama was a humiliation for him.

However, Lameixuan didn't blame Zhu Gaoxian, but felt that Queen Rama didn't give him a long face.

"His Royal Highness the Ming Emperor will live in Siam for a period of time, and I must seize this opportunity to eliminate all the forces that oppose me in the country, especially the empty one, he is instigating those ministers to oppose me."

La Meixuan thought to himself that he had to make the prince of the Ming Dynasty happy here, and the only one who could bring happiness to a young man was a woman.

La Meixuan couldn't help but think of her daughter.

After the empty wife betrayed him, La Meixuan originally wanted to marry her daughter to the empty and stabilize the empty first, but who knows, the empty Ying refused.

La Meixuan's youngest daughter, Mahali, is 16 years old, and she was once fortunate enough to be taken in as a student by the wife of a literate Chinese merchant, and she studied poetry and books with the learned woman for five years.

At this time, Mahali was praying excitedly in her room, how grateful she was to the Buddha for bringing so many Chinese to her country, and by tomorrow at the latest, there would be a large welcome ceremony, a banquet, and I heard that there would be a transaction on the Chao Phraya River.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid has already inquired, just now His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming has arrived at the palace, and I heard that after simply using the dinner provided by His Royal Highness the King, he returned to the specially arranged palace."

The maid knelt on the ground, folded her hands, and said reverently, "Oh my God, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you haven't seen that His Royal Highness the prince with your own eyes, he is really a god-like person, his eyes, his appearance, and his bearing, let me see the arrival of the heavenly man." “

Mahalie was so moved that she asked, "What about my stepmother?" Did she let go of such an opportunity? ”

The maid said, "His Royal Highness the prince rejected her request, and his courtiers said that if the king is really sincere, he should choose a chaste and noble woman to serve His Royal Highness, princess, according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, in the entire Siam country, only your Royal Highness the princess has the whole qualification!" ”

With a smile like a flower on her face, Mahalie looked out the window at the sky and prayed sincerely, "I hope that the Buddha will give me the opportunity to serve him, and I must make him feel kind and gentle like a woman of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"But princess, the king said that he would invite a monk to get your red heart, which is extremely inconsistent with the customs of the Ming Dynasty."

Mahalie suddenly panicked, she shook her head desperately, "No, no, it can't be, I won't accept such a thing." My teacher said that in the eyes of the Ming people, a noble woman cannot be touched by men other than her husband, even if it is her hands, they don't even allow men other than her husband to see her feet, how can I ...... Willing? ”

Mahali did not want to come into contact with any man other than her husband, and she always remembered how proud her teacher was when he spoke of the chastity of Ming women, and the deep contempt in his eyes when he spoke of this custom in Siam.

She should be proud of her nation, but Mahali can't ignore the strength, culture and history of the Ming Dynasty.

At that moment, Mahali decided that she could never marry for the rest of her life, or she could let her father send her to Daming, and she would resist this bad habit in Siam.

When Lamei came, the maids at the door knelt down and saluted him, and the maids knelt down in horror and bowed down on their knees, and Mahalie bowed to her father as usual, very elegantly.

For the first time, Lamei Xuan was satisfied with his daughter's action of advocating China, he sat down and said to his daughter, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty has come down, and I want to contribute you to His Royal Highness." I will ask the master of Wat Phra Ha Tay to fetch your blessing red, and I hope you can bring luck to Siam. ”

Mahalie trembled with fright, and she shook her head desperately, "No, father, it's not in order. ”

"No, this is in order, you must know that this is Siam, not Daming! If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has three long and two short, do you think Siam can still survive? ”

Queen Rama walked in, her voice was very stern, her eyes were full of cruelty, and Rama was very displeased with this stepdaughter who admired China, because she often read contempt in Mahali's eyes.

As the princess of Ayutthaya, she would despise their rules and customs.

There are very few stepdaughters in the world who are not afraid of their stepmother, especially a stepmother who has become a queen, Princess Mahali trembled all the time when she saw Rama, she couldn't say a word, and her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Rama.

Rama was very happy, and she looked at Mahari with the same disdain, then turned and walked out of Mahari's palace with light steps.

The fall of a woman's redness in Siam will bring bad luck to those who touch it, and the great monks are those who serve the Buddha, and they are not afraid of these evils.

It doesn't matter if His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty dislikes Mahali because of this, but Mahali will become the person she despises the most, a woman who was also robbed of her virginity by the monks.

That's right, "virginity"!

Seeing that his daughter no longer objected, he decided to ask the senior monks overnight, perhaps the Sankarad of Pamahad Monastery was too old to come, but he would send other young monks to come.

La Meixuan was going to arrange these things, got up and walked out.

"What should I do?" Mahalie was so anxious that she grabbed the maid's arm, her tears slid down like pearls, and on her beautiful face, tears were shining, and no one could refuse her false request when they saw her tears.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can go and ask His Royal Highness the Prince for help, His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming, if he is really willing to take you away, ask him for help, he must not want to see a woman like you defiled by other men, and he will definitely be willing to save you!"

The maid's idea was that such a beautiful princess, if His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty was not blind, he would definitely be able to see it, and as long as he saw the beauty of the princess, he would definitely not refuse the princess's request.

"But how am I going to get out? How can I meet His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Princess, you change into my clothes and go out secretly, no one will find out."

Rama was overwhelmed by the victory, and she believed that Mahali would have sensed her father's determination and would not resist again.

She is just a palace room for people to watch, not letting Mahali escape, she also believes that Mahali will not run away no matter what, she does not have the guts.

Zhu Gaoxian ate the dinner made by the Ming people, had a full stomach, and after bathing, he changed into a moon-white plain embroidered silver-patterned robe, tied with a silk ribbon around his waist, and sat crooked on the couch in front of the window to listen to Ha San talk about Siamese customs.

"When a man is 20 years old, he picks up the skin around the stem with a thin knife like a leek, inserts it into the tin beads, usually more than a dozen into the skin, seals it with medicine, and waits for the sores to heal before he goes out. The shape looks like grapes. ”

"There are special people who open shops to make a living, and they specialize in giving people welding baht to make a living. And the king, or the great chieftain, or the rich people, have a hollow gold bead embedded in it, and put a grain of sand in the bead, and set it in it, and when they walk, it is like the sound of the ringing that His Highness hears, and they find it very attractive. ”

"There is no man who does not want to have beads, and those men who do not have beads are inferior."

Zhu Gaoxian was dumbfounded when he heard this, he even forgot to drink the tea, he only felt a little cold under his crotch, and was shocked for a long time, and asked, "Will this affect anything?" ”

Ha San understood His Highness's words, and said with a smile, "There are few women here who are not lewd, if they are embedded in the beads, the object will be very large, maybe it just pleases the woman." For men, subordinates still feel that it will have some impact. I heard that if you don't do it well, you won't do it. ”

That's crazy!

Zhu Gaoxian felt unreasonable, and he didn't know what to say, when he heard a voice outside, and the dog hurriedly went out to see.

A woman's voice was faintly heard.

After a while, the dog came in, "Your Highness, I heard that it is Princess Mahali of Siam, who asked to see Her Highness and want to ask Her Highness for help!" ”

Another self-recommended pillow seat!

With the disgust of the queen begging him in front of her husband last time, and listening to Ha San, there are few women here who are not lewd, and at this time, there is a woman who comes to ask to see her in the middle of the night, Zhu Gaoxian has not seen anyone, and his heart has a disgust.

"Let her tell you, if you can help, you will help, if you can't help, you will send it away, this king is going to rest!"

Zhu Gaoxian got up, yawned, and walked towards the inner room.

Yiying's utensils were all replaced by his own, and Zhu Gaoxian lay on the couch and soon fell asleep.

When the dog came out, he carefully closed the door, and he said to Mahali, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, my Royal Highness the Prince has rested, and he has ordered it to come down, if you have any questions, you can tell me." ”

The interpreter translated the words, and the light in Mahalie's dark eyes dimmed, and she pursed her lips, holding back the tears that were about to roll down.

"My father wants to dedicate me to His Royal Highness, and I have no opinion. However, according to my Siamese customs, I need to ask a great monk to take the blood of my virginity, which I do not want. ”

Princess Mahali prayed to the dog in Chinese, "I once had a great Chinese teacher, who was very knowledgeable, and told me that in the Ming Dynasty, a woman's body can only be touched by her father and brother until the age of seven, and after the age of seven, no foreign man can see them or hear their names, otherwise they will be regarded as unchaste and spurned by the world." ”

The dog was shocked, and he nodded, "Yes! ”

Princess Mahalie said, "I want to pray to you, I want to marry according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and as long as His Highness is willing to help me give his will to my father and stepmother, I will be able to get rid of this fate." His gesture can bring me good luck, he is such a kind person, why would he not help me? ”

The dog was speechless, he thought for a moment and said, "You wait here, I'll help you convey it." ”

But when the dog came to the door of the room, he who had served Zhu Gaoxian for many years, only pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and then he knew that His Highness had fallen asleep.

He also felt a little sorry, came to the door, and said apologetically, "One step late, Your Highness has already fallen asleep." ”

It was as if all her spirit had been drained of her, and she was a little depressed, and it was difficult for her legs to stand.

When the dog saw this, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say again, "Tomorrow, when His Highness wakes up, I'll help you convey it." ”

As for whether His Highness is willing to help, the dog does not dare to make any guarantees.

"Thank you!"

Princess Mahali is not good to continue to stay here, she knows, perhaps, her actions like this are very inappropriate in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming and the people around him.

After all, in Daming, it is a small matter for a woman to starve to death, but it is a big matter to lose her temper.

That's something that would be a shame for the whole family.

But Mahalie felt that a country that could protect women's chastity was truly worth yearning for.

Because it's also a sign of respect for women.

Mahali turned and walked out of the palace, but she did not dare to go back, she was afraid that when she returned, an old monk would look at her with very strange eyes and stretch out his dirty hand to her.

When he arrived at the city of Ayutthaya with a large army of men and horses from the port, he was startled to see the orderly array of armored vehicles, all the guns facing the direction of the royal city.
