Hidden in the court

"Your Highness, this is my daughter, named Ayiguli, which means moon flower. I fell in love with you at first sight today. I don't ask for you to be my principal wife, but I am willing to be your concubine and serve you. If your Highness agrees, Loulan will become the most loyal vassal of the North..."

"No need to say more. Our dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we value propriety, righteousness, and integrity. As a prince, I cannot do such a thing as stealing someone's love. Since you said that Yuchi Zheng is the bravest hero in the Western Regions, I believe he is worthy of your daughter. I can promise that the North will fully support your two countries. Let's not mention this matter again."

"Your Highness, do you dislike me when you say this?"

What he didn't expect was that Aiguli asked back in Chinese.

"No, the princess's beauty is rare in the world. I believe that few men in the world will dislike her. It's just as you said, this is the first time we meet, and I can't let Khotan and my dynasty become enemies because of you."

In fact, Xihe Huchen’s real thought was: the girl is so straightforward, so this is not impossible.

However, now he represents the entire North, he cannot act on his own.

With that said, the King of Loulan's little thoughts were shattered, and Ayiguli could no longer pester him.

"Report, Yuchi Zheng, the prince of Khotan, requests to see you."

Hearing this, the King of Loulan looked at his daughter. Ayiguli was silent for a while, then left.

The King of Loulan also knew that she didn't want to see Yuchi Zheng, and Xihe Huchen was still here, so he couldn't say anything. He could only order someone to invite Yuchi Zheng in.

When Yuchi Zheng came in, he saw a figure walking out and was stunned.

"Lanna?"

I thought to myself, this is impossible, how could Lana be here? I must have seen it wrong.

When I came to the front, I saw the King of Loulan and the black-faced man sitting next to him.

"I send my greetings to you on behalf of the King of Khotan."

After greeting the King of Loulan, Yuchi Zheng looked at Xihe Huchen. With a strong physique and an extraordinary aura, he must be a warrior.

"I believe you are the prince of the North. Please allow me to pay the highest respects to the North on behalf of Khotan."

Xihe Huchen also looked at Yuchi Zheng. This prince of Khotan looked about the same age as himself. Although his face was fair and tender, Xihe Huchen did not look down on him. He felt that this man was not much different from himself in fighting. Maybe he was the same type as Ji Jun.

Anyway, Xihe and Huchen both like Yuchi Zheng. I really don’t know what the Princess of Loulan is thinking. How could she look down on such a young hero?

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. The marriage between your two countries is a great event. I send you my blessing on behalf of the North."

"Your Highness is very heroic. I, Yuchi Zheng, would like to offer you a drink. Please!"

"Haha, no, Your Highness, you are a young hero. It's a shame that we met too late. Come on, drink!"

……

Anyway, the two of them felt a sense of admiration for each other when they first met, and they started drinking.

Sunset west hill

The two men were already very drunk and could no longer stand steadily.

I saw the two of them supporting each other with their arms around each other's shoulders, staggering down the stairs.

The King of Loulan was really afraid that they would fall, so he quickly ordered people to support them, but they both refused.

"Brother, don't worry. When you get to... Khotan, I'll treat you to another meal."

If translation was working before, now it is almost broken. Should I translate or not?

"Hmm? Tell him that Big Brother can't let him spend money. Wait...after the war, I...I will treat him!"

At this time, a maid came in and handed Yuchi Zheng a letter.

"This is from Her Royal Highness the Princess to His Royal Highness the Prince."

After saying this, the maid retreated.

Yuchi Zheng thought about it vaguely, as if he had forgotten something? Never mind, it shouldn't be important if he could forget it.

Unexpectedly, Xihe Huchen spoke up: "Brother, I have seen the princess. She is so beautiful that my heart is moved. You are so lucky..."

The translator was sweating profusely, how could he say what was in his heart? In the end, for the sake of his life, he chose selective translation.

Yuchi Zheng then remembered that he hadn't seen the bride yet. Somehow, he thought of Lana and the figure who looked so much like Lana. Forget it, don't think about it anymore, let's go back to the hotel first.

Yuchi Zheng and Xihe Huchen returned to the hotel and were surprised to find that they were staying in the same hotel.

At this time, Lana left a note in Yuchi Zheng's room and fled.

After a while, Xihe Huchen staggered into the room and saw the note at a glance.

"Your Highness, tonight, I will tell you my feelings under the moonlight. Lana?"

Reading the contents of the note, Xihe Huchen thought, there is still a girl who likes his brother? No, this must be let my brother know!

Just as he was about to go out to tell Yuchi Zheng, he felt dizzy, fell down, and began to snore.

Yuchi Zheng went into Xihe Huchen's room and rested for a while, then he remembered the letter.

He immediately opened the letter and started reading: "Your Highness, I would like to invite you to the hotel tonight to chat. There are some things I want to clarify with you...your fiancée, Ayiguli."

Yuchi Zheng looked at the sky outside which was gradually getting darker, then looked at the letter in his hand, feeling completely confused.

But he decided to go and have a look anyway.

Loulan Royal Court

Aiguli was wearing a cloak and preparing to escape to meet Yuchi Zheng.

Her original intention was to find Yuchi Zheng and make things clear. Only by convincing Yuchi Zheng could she avoid causing hostility between Yutian and Loulan and prevent Xihe and Huchen from being embarrassed because she did not want to marry Yuchi Zheng.

Just as she was thinking this, the King of Loulan appeared behind her.

"You're not going anywhere!"

……

Yuchi Zheng was waiting, when suddenly a man appeared from the darkness.

"I wonder what the princess wants from me?"

Lana, wearing a cloak, was stunned. After she came to her senses, she realized that it was a misunderstanding.

But she still took off her cloak and revealed her true face.

"You are... So you are the princess?"

Lana was stunned again, feeling that there was a big misunderstanding.

What she didn't know was that Yuchi Zheng, who was still drunk, didn't recognize her until now, and just mistook her for the person he saw during the day who looked extremely similar to her.

"Your Highness, I..."

Before he could continue, Lana ran away. Yuchi Zheng wanted to chase her, but he was still drunk and his legs were weak.

I had no choice but to give up and go back to my room to rest.

The next morning, Xihe Huchen got up in a daze and saw Yuchi Zheng lying on the side. Then he realized that he must have entered the wrong room last night.

He looked at the note in his hand again and thought to himself that something was wrong. He kicked Yuchi Zheng, who was still sleeping, to wake him up.

"Hey, get up quickly. You seem to have missed something yesterday..."

When he finished explaining to Yuchi Zheng, Yuchi Zheng was also confused. The princess invited him yesterday, but she ran away without saying anything. Lana also called him. What's the matter?
