Chapter 2493: Meeting the Emperor (Part 2)
"Oh."
Su Luojing bit her lip and nodded angrily.
She thought she was not the kind of gentle and beautiful lady, but she was definitely not the kind of arrogant lady.
She was really tired of maintaining a noble and arrogant appearance all the way.
But who let this be Mr. Jiang's idea?
Even if she didn't understand it now, she would do it without a doubt.
...
The imperial city was like a huge city that fell from the sky, crawling proudly in the world, with a divine power that made people dare not make trouble, making everyone afraid.
Su Luojing was dressed in colorful phoenix and white rainbow, with exquisite makeup, red lips and white teeth, like a fairy, and walked gracefully. Under the guidance of a eunuch, she came to the square in front of the palace hall.
The road paved with white jade was spotless. Walking up the stone steps, she couldn't help but look around. Those imperial guards held swords and stood like statues, making the whole square full of endless solemnity and oppression.
Before coming here, Su Luojing was still nervous.
But when she really came here, she felt relieved.
This kind of scene is nothing special.
She didn't understand why she felt this way.
...
"Announce Su Luojing to enter the hall!"
The voice came from above.
Su Luojing continued to walk up the stone steps, looking at the view from a high place, feeling calm.
Finally, she came to the door of the hall.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides. The military officials on the left wore orange official robes, each of them was majestic and imposing, and the civil officials on the right wore white official robes, each of them had a smile in their eyes, and they didn't look good.
The head of the civil officials was Prime Minister Xie, an old dog who looked extremely insidious.
The head of the military officials was the strongest god of war of the Cangyu Empire, General Li Youran! His majestic and heroic spirit, not to mention Su Luojing, even Bai Chen couldn't help but show a touch of admiration when he saw him.
It is rare for such a small country to have such a strong man.
Su Luojing walked in the hall, looking down at the ground, not daring to raise her eyes.
"Su Luojing, the commoner, greets His Majesty!" She suddenly stopped her feet, knelt on her knees, and bowed: "Long live His Majesty! Long live! Long live!"
Once you enter the palace, you are not allowed to look up at the emperor's face without permission.
Su Hai had taught Su Luojing such a rule before she set off for Yizhou.
The Yu Emperor sat on the dragon chair, staring at the woman who kowtowed in front of the hall, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Luojing kowtowed again, and then stood up.
She raised her eyes and saw that although the Yu Emperor was wearing a dragon robe, his holy body was noble and arrogant, he did not feel the slightest oppression.
In comparison, she felt that Mr. Jiang's aura was far stronger than the Majesty in front of her.
When she saw the Emperor of Feathers clearly, the Emperor of Feathers also saw her appearance clearly, and could not help but exclaim in surprise. He did not expect that this little poet widely praised by the people was actually a natural beauty.
"Su Luojing, I heard that you recited several poems by the Yizhou Lake, shocking the world. Is this true?"
The Emperor of Feathers asked in a deep voice.
Such exquisite poems were actually written by such a little girl. Not to mention that he was a little bit unbelievable, the civil and military officials present were also skeptical.
Facing the questioning eyes of the crowd, Su Luojing smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, it is true."
"Oh?"
Hearing Su Luojing's self-confession, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Emperor of Feathers: "People praise you as a little poet, and the poems you recite are indeed excellent. I want to know if you have other works. Can you show them here?"
The Emperor of Feathers loves poetry very much.
This is also the reason why the status of civil officials in the Cangyu Empire has always been quite high.
Seeing His Majesty asking questions, Su Luojing's beautiful eyes turned slightly. Under the different gazes of the crowd, she raised her head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and bowed.
"If Your Majesty has ordered, I will present a poem!"
"The guest has no gold, how can he expect the host to pity him."
"The guest's words are better than gold, but the host is not so."
"Pearls and jade become colorful jade, and brocade is like the moon."
"I am afraid that I will leave you sometimes."
"How could you know that keeping loyalty and trustworthiness will make your virtue complete."
"The sound of the wind and the time are prosperous, and the songs are praised for thousands of years."
...
At this moment, the whole palace hall was shocked.
They originally thought that Su Luojing would recite some beautiful poems, but they didn't expect that she, a woman, would have such a heroic spirit.
Even General Li Youran couldn't help but be attracted by Su Luojing's temperament and looked over curiously.
"Hahaha! What a good sentence, the sound of the wind and the time are prosperous, and the songs are praised for thousands of years! What do you think, my dear ministers?" Emperor Yu laughed heartily.
Hearing this, the civil officials all agreed: "Good poem, good poem!"
The military officials looked at each other in bewilderment, few of them could understand the meaning of this poem.
"Su Luojing, you are indeed a little poet, you are really not comparable to ordinary women, I wonder if you have other poems to read to me?"
The Emperor Yu obviously has a strong interest in Su Luojing's literary talent.
Prime Minister Xie's face was extremely gloomy, this was not the result he wanted to see.
Su Luojing thought about it, and suddenly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have another poem to give to Your Majesty. Your Majesty can pass this poem to the Crown Prince and the princes. I believe that they will carefully appreciate the deep meaning of the poem and should have a lot of gains."
? !
When she said this, all the civil and military officials were stunned.
She was too arrogant!
Even if she is extremely talented, she cannot say that her poems can benefit the royal descendants!
This is simply arrogant!
Sure enough, after Su Luojing's words fell, the face of the Yu Emperor changed from a smile to an extremely gloomy one.
Killing intention...!
Bai Chen lay on a strand of hair, feeling the murderous aura that emanated from the king's body, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
"You said, you have a poem that can benefit my descendants?"
The Yu Emperor smiled with his face but not his heart.
Li Youran showed a trace of regret.
Although he was the head of the military generals, he was also a man of both civil and military skills. Su Luojing's poem just now made him look at this little girl with a new look, but now, he could only feel regret.
The royal family's majesty, how can ordinary people be rash?
If she can't come up with a poem that can convince His Majesty, I'm afraid she will be in great trouble.
Prime Minister Xie's smile on his face became even stronger at this time.
At this time, Su Luojing can only have a chance to get a higher evaluation from His Majesty if she can come up with a truly amazing work that His Majesty feels is unparalleled in the world.
However, such hope is very slim.
At least judging from her Yizhou work and the poem just before the palace, she does not have such qualifications.
Even the sentence "The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, and the warriors will never return once they leave" that is sought after by the world is far from being able to teach the prince!
With such a big tone, let me see what you can do!
Prime Minister Xie seemed to have imagined the scene of Su Luojing's body and head being separated.
…
Under the cold gaze of Emperor Yu, all the officials in the audience held their breath and watched.
Su Luojing remained calm, her clear eyes were as tough as a rock.
She.
Finally spoke!
…
"Boil beans and burn bean pods."
"Beans cry in the pot."
"We are born from the same root."
"Why are you so anxious to fight each other!"
