Chapter 20 - The Emperor summons him
In this way, Shi Yu is much more relieved, it is difficult for a princess to deal with it alone, if there is someone else, wouldn't he be unable to figure out this matter alone.
After all, Shi Yu was still on duty today, and he didn't stay in the general's mansion for long, so he returned to the palace with Jincheng.
When leaving, Shi Beiyan repeatedly explained that if he was alone with him and the emperor, he must pay attention to his words and deeds, and remember, as the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, not to favor either the Privy Council and the Zhongshu.
Shi Beiyan understood that the emperor could let Shi Rong sit comfortably on the throne of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, affirming the general's sincerity to the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, he took a fancy to Shi Rong's arrogant and unconventional temperament.
Shi Yu straightened out his thoughts, and in his position, where he didn't know the responsibility of this position, his heart could only be loyal to His Majesty.
The emperor had insight into everything in the palace, and the unhappiness of the princess in Shirong's tent today, such gossip also reached his ears.
According to his temperament, he would not have paid attention to it, but on the one hand, he was his favorite princess, and on the other hand, he was the most valued minister, and he still wanted to hear what Shi Rong thought.
As soon as Shi Yu stepped into the palace gate, Gonggong Chen "coincidentally" stood on the side of the path and waited.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave, Your Majesty summonsed, the old slave has been waiting for you here for a long time."
Gonggong Chen put up a smile on his face.
Jincheng saw Shi Yu's figure for a moment, and hurriedly whispered on the side: "It's the person next to the emperor, Gonggong Chen." ”
Shi Yu's heart shook slightly when he heard this, why did the emperor suddenly summon him?
He didn't think much about it, but his face was tense and bowed slightly towards Gonggong Chen.
"This is over, and Father-in-law Lao will lead the way."
If others say so, an old fritter like Gonggong Chen, who has been in the palace for many years, will definitely not like it, after all, he is the person who serves the emperor closely, and others will say a few more good words when he leads the way.
But in front of him is Shi Rong, this kid can call himself like this, he is already a hundred times stronger than before, he naturally won't say anything.
Smiled and nodded.
"The emperor is resting in the imperial garden, and the servant will take you there."
Shi Yu nodded slightly, and walked straight behind Gonggong Chen.
Gonggong Chen had a mouth that could speak well, standing beside Shi Rong, and looked at Shi Yu coldly.
"It seems that the Commander of Time is not the same as before."
These words came out with Gonggong Chen's wilted voice, which made Shi Yu's heart suddenly tighten, could it be that he saw something?
Even Jin Cheng, who was following Shi Yu, sweated.
"Why?"
Shi Yu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked instead.
"The old slave looked at the jasper red hanging on your waist, this is the only one in the palace, and this thing adds color to you, it is naturally different from what it used to be."
Jasper red is a symbol of the princess, Chen Gonggong's eyes are very sharp, but it seems to be reminding Shi Yu in disguise, things that can add color to people, looking at this big palace, but there are only a handful.
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and glanced down at the thing on his waist, in the past, Shi Rong's clothes had always been dark, but now there is a touch of red on his waist, but people have to pay attention to it, the princess also seems to be swearing sovereignty in disguise.
Shi Yu did not reply to Gonggong Chen's words.
pondering all the way, Gonggong Chen said in one sentence, if it is really in this palace city, there are countless people who are clear-minded.
When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Gonggong Chen pointed to a bright yellow in the pavilion.
"Commander Shi will go, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
"Hmm."
Shi Yu responded, and moved towards the emperor's position, this was also the first time he was alone with the emperor, and his heart was naturally panicked.
There was no one behind him now, and the group that was with him all stayed near the pavilion, and Jincheng was naturally no exception.
As soon as he approached, under that majesty, he knelt down and saluted.
"Wechen is late, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Flat, there is no one here now, come, sit down."
Emperor Sheng Mingcheng pointed to the empty seat beside him.
This... I'm afraid that if it doesn't follow the rules, how can a courtier sit on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven? Shi Yu's heart suddenly beat the drum.
"Play chess with me."
The emperor said, pointing to the chessboard in front of him.
After Shi Yu struggled inwardly, he still sat directly opposite the emperor, but he was just sitting on pins and needles at the moment.
The emperor glanced at him, and then glanced at Shi Rong with the jasper red on his waist, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and then he picked up the white piece and landed on the chessboard.
"Shi Aiqing, it's your turn."
Playing chess is a popular way to relieve boredom in Jiangnan, and Shi Yu is a rare opponent in this regard.
It's just that this time he is sitting opposite the real dragon emperor, so he naturally can't be sloppy.
With the two of them, you come and go, one son after another falls, and Shi Yu loses to the emperor without a trace.
At the end of the chess game, the emperor laughed abruptly.
"Look at you, this chess game is giving way to me every step of the way."
When Shi Yu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, what he did was not obvious enough, but how could the emperor still see it?
Yes, the emperor is above 10,000 people, and this kind of trick naturally can't be hidden from him.
"Wechen is terrified."
Shi Yu hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Yo, why is there such a big movement, sit down quickly, I won't blame you for this, but I didn't expect that your chess skills are so exquisite, I didn't see it in the past."
The Emperor studied the chessboard and continued.
Shi Yu could only get up and sit down again.
"Look here."
The emperor pointed to a place on the chessboard, if the sunspot fell next to the white child, it would be a win, but Shi Yu fell directly to the side, as if he had suddenly touched there.
"If it weren't for here, even I wouldn't have been able to tell that you've been letting me, hahaha."
The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Minister..."
Shi Yu suddenly didn't know what to say, but he felt embarrassed that his little trick was seen through.
"It's okay, I'm laughing, you know how to endure when you play chess, and you retreat step by step, so why can't you back down when facing Erya?"
Again, without warning, the Emperor said that he was trying to be a peacemaker.
"Retreat?"
Shi Yu subconsciously spoke.
"It's just a love affair, so why bother to stick to it."
The Emperor spoke again.
The look of shock in Shi Yu's heart gradually surfaced.
He finally knew why Sheng Erya was arrogant as a princess.
With such an emperor's father who is so spoiled that she even has to insert her feelings, can she not be pampered and proud?
Only for now, he had to respond.
"Back to Your Majesty, these ministers naturally know it in their hearts."
As he spoke, he was afraid that the emperor would be excited and give them a direct decree to tie the knot, so he quickly changed the topic.
"It's just that protecting your dragon body is my top priority now, and I don't think about anything else for the time being."
"It's time to think about it..."
The Emperor said with a smile.
