炫泓听了,十分高兴,连忙说道:“朕深感西蒙国王和罗马帝国陛下的情谊,三把乐器朕收下了,我们中梁国有精通此乐器的乐师,有劳詹姆斯大人远道前来。”
婉芯也会意地向詹姆斯翻译道:“I am deeply aware of the friendship between King Simon and the Rome empire. Three musical instruments have been taken away. We have a musician who is proficient in this instrument in our country, and the Lord James es in a long way.”
詹姆斯听了,连忙恭敬地说道:“It is my honor to be able to e to Zhongliang, an Oriental power.”
婉芯也对炫泓说道:“能前来中梁国这个东方大国是我的荣幸。”
炫泓非常高兴,对詹姆斯说道:“有朋自远方来,不亦说乎!就有请詹姆斯大人在我国多留些日子,领略下我国的壮美山河与风土人情,也让我们尽地主之谊好好招待西方大国的使者。”
此话一出,婉芯眼前无线条黑线滑落,心道这个皇上没良心,这些时候卖弄文墨,你可知道翻译这事不容易!想罢狠狠地瞪了炫泓一眼,只是炫泓只顾着兴奋而没有留心婉芯这小表情噜!婉芯也无奈,只能继续翻译道:“To have friends e from afar, not to say! In our country, we are invited to stay in our country for some more days, to appreciate the magnificent mountains, rivers and customs of our country, and to entertain the ambassadors of the Great Western powers as well as the great friendship of James.”
詹姆斯听了,连忙称谢道:“Thanks to your Majesty"s great kindness, I will take some days in Zhongliang to return to the Empire of Rome, to record some of the customs and customs of your country and return to our majesty.”
婉芯又向炫泓翻译道:“感谢陛下的盛情,我将会在中梁国游历一些日子才返回罗马帝国,把贵国一些风土人情好好记录,回去告诉我们的陛下。”
炫泓双手一拍,说道:“太好了,你就安心在行宫住下,待蒙羽太子抵达之日,朕会让乐师演奏这三台西方乐器,以表对贵国之尊重。”
婉芯随即对詹姆斯说道:“That"s great. You can settle down in the palace and wait for the arrival of the prince. I will let the musicians play these three Western instruments to show respect for your country.”
詹姆斯连忙行礼道:“Thank you. Your Majesty.”
婉芯也翻译告诉炫泓说道:“感谢陛下恩典。”
只是炫泓又犯愁起来,不禁说道:“詹姆士传教士住下了,可只有婉妃一人懂得与其沟通,如何是好?”
婉芯恭敬地说道:“回禀皇上,除了臣妾外,黑幽蓝和秦必笙都能用洋文与詹姆斯先生沟通,还请皇上放心。”
炫泓目光转向了黑幽蓝和秦必笙,开口问道:“你们可愿意替代朕接待罗马帝国的詹姆斯先生吗?”
黑幽蓝和秦必笙连忙恭声说道:“草民愿意。”
婉芯随即对詹姆斯说道:“Our king has asked Miss Black and Mr. Qin to be your interpreter and guide during the palace tour. May you have a happy journey here.”
詹姆斯听了,欢天喜地地向炫泓道谢,便跟着黑幽蓝和秦必笙离开了灵武殿大厅,回到了寒潭园,而西蒙使者也向炫泓道别,回到了凌风园厢房中。一场家宴最终在一片欢乐的气氛之中结束了,婉芯也十分开心得到了在古代的一台钢琴,她决定回京后放在她的宫室当中。
