Chapter 110 Recommending Su Daji
Outside the Shouhuang Palace, Emperor Xin looked extremely anxious. His dragon robe swayed gently in the breeze, but it could not hide the anxiety in his heart.
His brows were furrowed and he paced hurriedly back and forth at the entrance of the hall. Every step seemed to express his eager anticipation for a certain result.
Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky, descended as quickly as a meteor, and finally landed in front of the gate of the Shouhuang Palace.
The light dissipated, and a fairy-like figure gradually appeared. It was the national teacher - Luo Shu.
Emperor Xin's eyes caught Luo Shu's figure at the first moment, and a happy smile instantly broke out on his face, as if all his anxiety was released at this moment.
He hurried forward and said respectfully:
"National Master, you are finally back. I am very worried about those two Taoist priests. How are they...how are they now?"
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Xin looked behind Luo Shu.
Luo Shu looked at Emperor Xin's anxious and expectant eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand gently, indicating that Emperor Xin did not need to be so nervous, and then said softly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have had some discussions with my uncle Guangchengzi and my uncle Chijingzi. They have already left Chaoge."
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, shock appeared in Emperor Xin's eyes.
He couldn't believe his ears and confirmed again:
"The Imperial Master is saying... is it saying that the two Taoist priests have left? They were... "
Luo Shu nodded and interrupted Di Xin with a smile:
"Just as the king thought, when Master Guangchengzi and Master Chijingzi were sparring with me, they lost their minds and left Chaoge in a rage."
When Emperor Xin heard this, he was shocked beyond words.
He didn't believe that those two Taoist priests who always had black faces would be driven away by him. They must have been unable to defeat the National Master Luo Shu, so they had no choice but to leave Chaoge.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xin's eyes looked at Luo Shu even brighter. Those two Taoist priests were taught by the saints themselves, and their cultivation was unfathomable.
I didn't expect that he was no match for the National Master Luo Shu. It shows how powerful the National Master Luo Shu is.
Emperor Xin looked at Luo Shu, and the light in his eyes became brighter. He nodded slightly, showing respect to Luo Shu:
"The Imperial Master is truly a god! Those two Taoist priests had profound cultivation, but they were defeated by the Imperial Master. My admiration for you is like a surging river."
Emperor Xin's voice was a little excited. He paused for a moment and continued:
"Thanks to the help of the Imperial Master, my two sons were able to resolve this potential crisis today."
Hearing this, Luo Shu smiled gently, and his smile revealed a bit of humility and calmness.
He raised his hand slightly, indicating that Emperor Xin did not need to be so polite, and then slowly spoke:
"Your Majesty, you are overpraising me. I am only doing my duty."
He paused and continued:
"No matter what you say, you two princes are still disciples of our Jiejiao. As a disciple of Jiejiao, I cannot bear to see them being taken away by such hypocritical people."
When Emperor Xin heard Luo Shu's words, he thanked Luo Shu again, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude:
"The Imperial Master not only has profound cultivation, but also has such noble sentiments. I really admire him. With the Imperial Master in charge of my Great Shang, I have nothing to worry about."
Hearing this, Luo Shu laughed out loud, waved his hand gently, and said to Emperor Xin:
"Haha! Your Majesty, you are too kind. The reason why the Great Shang Dynasty is so solid is all due to the efforts of Your Majesty and the civil and military ministers of the court. I am just fortunate to have participated in a part of it."
When Emperor Xin saw how humble Luo Shu was, he admired him even more.
He smiled and shook his head, and replied:
"Master, you are too modest. Without the Master's advice and suggestions for Da Shang, how could Da Shang be so stable and prosperous? I will always remember the Master's contribution."
After hearing this, the smile on Luo Shu's lips was as warm and bright as the rising sun.
He clearly felt that Emperor Xin's words were not just general compliments, but came from his heartfelt gratitude and trust.
"All right, my king."
Luo Shu's voice was like a clear mountain spring, melodious and pleasant to the ear. "Since today's disturbance has subsided, I will not stay any longer and will take my leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something and continued:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not leave Chaoge City in the near future. If there is anything you need from me, Your Majesty, just send someone to inform me, and I will do my best."
"Imperial Master, I am extremely grateful." Emperor Xin said respectfully.
Luo Shu nodded, bowed slightly, and saluted gracefully. His robe swayed in the wind like a blooming lotus.
Afterwards, he turned into a stream of light, disappeared from the spot, and left the palace.
Emperor Xin looked at the direction where the national teacher Luo Shu disappeared, his eyes full of respect and gratitude that was beyond words, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
……
The next day, the sun shone through the morning glow onto the golden palace. After the court meeting, Emperor Xin felt a rare sense of leisure.
Emperor Xin took Fei Zhong and You Hun for a stroll in the palace. After walking for a while, they came to a palace.
The palace is surrounded by lush flowers and trees, like a fairyland isolated from the world.
Inside the palace, a burst of laughter as clear and pleasant as silver bells, like the sound of nature, made Emperor Xin stop in his tracks.
He looked into the palace curiously, and saw several graceful figures looming in and out.
An inexplicable interest surged in Emperor Xin's heart, and he turned to ask the attendant beside him:
"Who lives here?"
The attendant bowed his head respectfully and replied:
"Reporting to the king, this place is called Hibiscus Palace, and the people living here are all beauties presented to the king by the princes."
After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"The queen was worried that there might be someone unruly among these beauties, so she specially arranged them all to live in the Hibiscus Palace for unified management."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded and said:
"Since it was arranged by the Queen, then there is no need to pay attention to it. Come on, follow me in and take a look."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Xin smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards Hibiscus Palace.
Everyone nodded in agreement and followed Emperor Xin into the Hibiscus Palace.
The group entered the Hibiscus Palace. The veil was swaying, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and a fresh breath filled their faces.
At the whispered reminder from the palace servants, the beauties in the hall stopped what they were doing, stood up and saluted. Their movements were in unison, like well-trained dancers.
Emperor Xin waved his hand slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite and asked them to raise their heads.
His deep gaze moved among the beauties, as if he was looking for something, but his brows gradually furrowed.
The beauties presented by these princes were all outstandingly beautiful, but Emperor Xin felt that they were all the same, like products on an assembly line, lacking that special quality that would make one's eyes shine.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had thought that he could find some unique beauties in this Hibiscus Palace, but he didn't expect that they were all like this.
So, after staying in Hibiscus Palace for a while, Emperor Xin took everyone away.
After leaving the hall, Fei Zhong and You Hun stood beside Emperor Xin and naturally felt his emotional changes.
Furthermore, Fei Zhong and You Hun were both good at observing people's words and expressions. They looked at each other and understood that Emperor Xin was not satisfied with the beauties presented by these princes.
Fei Zhong knew Emperor Xin's preferences and tastes very well. He took a step forward, bowed slightly, saluted respectfully, and then spoke carefully:
"Your Majesty, although the beauties presented by these princes are all carefully selected beauties, perhaps due to regional and cultural differences, they are unable to fully display the unique charm that Your Majesty loves."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about Fei Zhong's words.
He glanced at the beauties in the hall, some charming and some dignified, and indeed felt a little bored.
At this time, You Hun also saw what Emperor Xin was thinking. He took the opportunity to speak up with a somewhat flattering smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with the beauties offered by these princes, I have a perfect candidate here. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented and capable. She will surely satisfy you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xin tilted his head slightly and looked at You Hun, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes:
"Oh? Tell me, what kind of beauty is she?"
You Hun was delighted to see that Emperor Xin was interested, and he quickly began to explain:
"Reporting to the king, this person is called Su Daji, the daughter of Jizhou Marquis Su Hu. This woman is extremely beautiful, and she is also very talented. She is proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is proficient in poetry and songs."
You Hun paused and continued to describe:
"Your Majesty, you know that Su Daji has long been famous in Jizhou. People say, 'This woman should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to hear of her in the world.' Her every smile, every move, is full of endless charm, making people fall for her. If Your Majesty can have this beauty accompany you, it will definitely be the happiest thing in the world."
After hearing this, Emperor Xin's eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity:
"Oh? Is this Su Daji really so extraordinary?"
You Hun was even more pleased to see that Emperor Xin was attracted by his words, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty. I dare not say a single word of falsehood. Su Daji's beauty and talent are rare in the world. If Your Majesty could see her, he would definitely be conquered by her charm."
After listening to You Hun's description, Emperor Xin's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
He looked at You Hun deeply, and his voice was filled with an unquestionable majesty:
"In that case, You Hun, go to the post station immediately and summon Jizhou Hou Su Hu to the palace. I want to personally discuss with him the matter of Su Daji entering the palace."
You Hun was delighted to see that Emperor Xin attached so much importance to this matter, and he immediately bowed and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will live up to Your Majesty's trust. I will go to the post station and inform Jizhou Hou Su Hu to come to the palace."
After saying that, You Hun turned around and walked hurriedly out of the palace.
