094Chapter 94

，。The tale now tells how Sun Xingzhe and the other two followed the summoning officer to the Meridian Gate, where a palace eunuch immediately reported their arrival and had them admitted.，。The three stood there in a row, without bowing.：「？The king asked, “Are you three the eminent disciples of the holy monk, our future imperial son-in-law?？What are your surnames and given names?？Where do you reside?？What caused you to leave the secular life?？」，。And which scriptures are you going to fetch?” Xingzhe at once stepped forward, intending to mount the dais.：「，，。」：「，。」、。A guard at the side shouted, “Stay where you are! Whatever you have to say, report it from there.” Xingzhe laughed. “We who have left the world advance whenever we can gain a step.” Bajie and Sha Seng then also came forward behind him.，：「，，。」，：「。The elder, fearing their rustic manners might alarm His Majesty, rose and called, “Disciples, His Majesty is asking why you came; report it to him.” Seeing his master standing in attendance at the side, Xingzhe could not restrain himself and cried aloud, “Your Majesty, in slighting another, you slight yourself.，？Since you have chosen my master as your son-in-law, why make him stand in attendance?，。」，，，。The husband of a princess is called a noble lord; how can a noble lord be left without a seat?” At this the king turned pale with alarm and wished to withdraw, but feared losing dignity before the court.，，。He could only summon his courage and order an attendant to bring an embroidered stool, upon which he invited the Tang monk to sit.：Only then did Xingzhe make his report:

Do not recite it!，，，。」If she is truly a human woman, then when it is time to bow in the wedding ceremony, we shall all create an uproar in the palace and take you away.”

，。As master and disciples talked, the night watch had begun before they knew it.：Indeed:

：「，，，，。」。Bajie said, “Master, the night is deep. Whatever remains can be discussed tomorrow morning. Let us sleep, let us sleep.” And so master and disciples rested for the night.

。At dawn the golden cock once more heralded daybreak.。The king immediately mounted the throne and held court.：What a sight it was:

，：「。When the assembled civil and military officials had completed their audience, the king further proclaimed, “Let the Court of Imperial Entertainments prepare the auspicious wedding banquet for the twelfth.，。」，。For today, prepare vessels of spring wine and entertain the imperial son-in-law in the imperial garden.” He ordered the Office of Ceremonial to escort the three honored kinsmen to rest awhile at the Hostel for Tributary Envoys, and instructed the Court of Imperial Entertainments to prepare three vegetarian tables there for their enjoyment.，，。At both places the Imperial Music Office was to perform music, serving the guests as they admired the spring scenery and whiled away the long day.，：「，，。Hearing this, Bajie immediately said, “Your Majesty, we master and disciples have always remained together, never parting for so much as a moment.，，；Since there is to be a banquet in the imperial garden today, take us along to enjoy ourselves for a couple of days, and then our master may become the son-in-law of your house.，。」，，，，，，，。Otherwise this bargain of ours will fall through.” The king saw how ugly he was and heard his coarse speech; and when Bajie craned his head and twisted his neck, thrusting out his snout and wagging his ears, he appeared somewhat deranged. Fearing he might disrupt the marriage, the king had no choice but to consent.：「，。He therefore ordered, “Prepare two tables in the Pavilion of Everlasting Peace between China and the Western Lands, where the imperial son-in-law and I shall sit together.，，。」，：「。」。Prepare three tables in the Pavilion for Detaining Spring and invite the three gentlemen to sit separately, lest the seating order between master and disciples prove awkward.” Only then did the idiot salute the throne and cry, “Many thanks.” They all withdrew.，，，。The king further decreed that the palace officials prepare a banquet for the empresses and consorts of the Three Palaces and Six Courts, together with the princess, to dress her hair and add gifts to her trousseau at the prenuptial feast, in readiness for the auspicious marriage on the twelfth.

What it’s about

The king entertains the pilgrims in the imperial garden and presses preparations for Sanzang's wedding. Wukong persuades his master to let the ceremony advance while insisting that the disciples and scripture mission remain part of any settlement. Bajie enjoys the banquet, but Sanzang experiences royal luxury as another form of confinement. Courtly pleasure delays the road at the very edge of its destination.

The princess, secretly a spirit, is overjoyed by the match and impatient to possess the monk, yet ceremonial rules keep them apart. Wukong watches her closely and plans to expose her when she appears in public. He has already connected the court's bride with the displaced woman sheltered at Giving Solitary Garden, whose account supplies the human cost of the substitution. The counterfeit bride's desire and the true princess's testimony bring the hidden exchange toward open confrontation.

When it was written 背景

The chapter's garden feasting deliberately echoes earlier kingdoms that tried to retain Sanzang through gratitude, office or marriage. Here ritual postponement protects him even as it seems to complete the trap. Learners should follow 御花園, 宴, 駙馬 and 真公主. The double-princess structure makes identity a political matter: a private enchantment has occupied a royal body and place, so exposing the monster must also restore the woman whose family and public status were stolen.
