Chapter 64: Have you seen enough?
The carriage "deed" went forward, leading us to the unknown ahead, and I had no time to think about what was waiting for us, only to bask in great joy. I really can't believe that a person like me can actually enter the palace and meet the emperor, which is even more unbelievable than saying that I have a million taels of silver.
I danced with my hands, not knowing how to express my feelings, and occasionally lifted the curtains on the carriage to look out. The carriage passed by a crowd of passers-by, and everyone was so kind, I really wanted to say hello to them and tell them how I was feeling at the moment. They are getting closer and farther away from me. The flags next to the liquor shops along the street waved gently in the wind, waving to me frequently.
Tianmen Avenue is wide enough and has dedicated carriageways and sidewalks. The carriage drove alongside the carriage on the carriageway, and from time to time a carriage passed us on the opposite side. I suddenly had the illusion that I was not a passerby in this city, but that I was a part of this city.
Xuan Feilun looked at me who was almost crazy and pulled me over, "You sit honestly, as if others will know that you have never seen the world." Look at you like this, I don't know if I think you're a stupid girl! ”
I glared at him, "You're the stupid girl." ”
He was not as excited as I was, and his face was as calm as ever, as if it were a small matter, and I asked in surprise, "Wheels, you're not happy." We're going to enter the palace, but we're going to see the emperor! ”
Xuan Feilun said: "Happy! That's to see the emperor, I'm looking forward to it! ”
Expect? Why can't you see any expectation on his face? I said, "But why don't I feel that you are happy?" ”
"You think everyone is like you, and everything is written on your face?" His voice suddenly lowered, "Besides, I'm still a little worried!" ”
"Worried?"
Xuan Feilun lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Why did the emperor summon us? ”
"Of course it's strange! But that's the emperor, how can we guess. ”
Xuan Feilun's face became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "I thought of two possibilities. First, it is really the emperor who wants to summon us, and it is likely to be related to the colorful dragon balls; The other is that some people are afraid that we will not go, and they pretend to deceive us into taking the bait under the pretense of the emperor's order. Whatever it is, we have to be careful. ”
The flame of my excitement was extinguished a little by his words, and the thoughts that were burned by the flames returned to my mind, "It shouldn't be that someone is pretending to be the emperor's order to deceive us." Who is so bold as to pretend to be the emperor's order? But the first one you mentioned may be very likely. ”
"I thought the same way, that's why I agreed to enter the palace, otherwise," Xuan Feilun looked at the front of the carriage, "With him, he can't stop me." ”
"That is, you are invincible in the world!"
Xuan Feilun glared at me, "What is invincible in the world, don't go out and say such things in the future, keep a low profile!" Got it? ”
"Yes!"
The carriage took us through the bustling street, through the lively crowd, through several gates, and finally stopped, Wang Yong lifted the curtain, "Let's get off." ”
Xuan Feilun and I got out of the carriage, and in front of us was a splendid gatehouse. Although it is not as tall and majestic as the Mingde Gate, the pattern carving is more delicate and the decoration is more luxurious. The palace gate was heavily guarded, full of guards, and their eyes, like those of eagles, looked at us fiercely, and at anyone who approached here.
Wang Yong handed over the knife he was carrying to a guard, and said to us: "Weapons cannot be brought in, please cooperate with the two of you." ”
Xuan Feilun didn't insist this time, and took out his own flywheel, "To whom?" ”
Wang Yong pointed to the guard in front of him, "Just give it to him, when the two of you leave the palace, he will serve it!" ”
After handing over the weapon, Wang Yong took out the token, and the guards guarding the door took a look at it and let us in.
Is this the palace gate? Once we enter this door, are we entering the palace? Did I really enter the palace?
A tall and majestic palace complex appeared in front of me, and although I had been prepared for it a long time ago, the luxury in front of me was still beyond my expectations. The golden glazed tiles shimmer golden in the sun, and the light is even brighter than the sun's rays. I can't put into words my shock, and all I have in my head is one sentence: this is the palace!!
I felt like a child lost in a fairyland, coming to a place I never thought possible, and everything was new.
I was like a marionette, I didn't even blink my eyes, and I followed Wang Yong mechanically.
Wang Yong suddenly stopped in one place and didn't leave, I looked up and saw that it was a large hall with a vermilion gate and a red lacquer door. On both sides of the door stood a full of people, including guards, eunuchs, and palace maids, and a plaque hung on it that read "Imperial Study".
Wang Yong stepped forward and said something to the guard at the door, and one of the guards opened a crack in the door and passed the word inside.
Wang Yong taught us how to salute and greet the emperor when he saw him, but I didn't listen to anything, and stared at the door in a daze, as if I could see through the door.
The wait is always long, especially this kind of waiting, I think the emperor doesn't plan to see us!
Finally, with a shout, the closed door opened. The room was a little dark, as if there was a mountain in it, and the invisible pressure followed, and my legs were a little non-stop, and my brain couldn't turn.
Wang Yong respectfully led us to my inside. It's only a few feet away, but I think it's so long. We finally entered the main hall.
The hall was not as splendid as I imagined, and the wooden shelves were full of books, exuding a charming fragrance. A man in a yellow dragon robe stood with his back to us, a tall figure, standing there like a god. I looked at him directly, my eyes didn't blink, and I didn't dare to come out. Next to him stood a young man in a blue coat, who looked at us with a blank face.
He is the emperor, is he really the emperor? I actually met the emperor, it's incredible. I must be dreaming!
"Minister Wang Yong see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live."
The man just gave a soft "um" and didn't turn around.
"Don't hurry up and meet the emperor."
I quickly pulled the Xuan Feilun that looked like a bamboo pole and pestle there and knelt down, "See the emperor." ”
The emperor turned around slowly, my eyes were dark, the tall figure blocked my vision, I raised my head and looked up at him, as if looking at a tall mountain, and a sense of oppression followed. I instantly felt a little difficult to breathe.
It's not what I imagined, he's still very young, it's not angry eyebrows, it's not serious and scary, and every gesture exudes a natural imperial domineering. He looked at me condescendingly, and showed a faint smile, and when he smiled, I suddenly felt like a person, like whom?
Yes! Like Wang Luo. No, no, he and Wang Luo are different, Wang Luo's whole person is comfortable when he looks at it, and he wants to get closer. And the person in front of him always gives people a sense of oppression, and they just want to escape quickly. It's really not like it, it's just that the eyes are somewhat similar.
He spoke softly, not loud, but majestic, "Have you seen enough!" ”
