Chapter 145
145 A gentleman
Liu Hui Ying on the other hand did not care about the fiasco that was going on in her courtyard instead she walked over to the palace where Zhai Tianyu worked, she has never gone to that palace before but she has seen it while she was on a walk last time. This was why she did not have to think twice before setting on her journey and nor did she ask the directions to his workplace.
It took her at least fifteen minutes before she arrived at the place where Zhai Tianyu worked and as soon as she arrived at the foot of the palace, she looked at the building and clicked her tongue in annoyance, ” Look at that, my entire place is not as big as that number of steps that are in front of this palace.”
” You are right,” Jia Li agreed with her as she placed her hand over her eyes and then peered over the palace that was so big that at least ten palaces the size of the one where they were staying. ” When I saw it the last time, it did not look this big but now that I am here, I feel that this is just as big as those skyscrapers.”
” And that too without an elevator,” Li Gang commented from the side as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was standing in front of him. ” Your legs are going to give away halfway through, I just counted this place has at least fifty more stairs than the Grand Dowager Empress’s palace.”
Liu Hui Ying looked at the palace and then pursed her lips before she licked the front of her teeth and said, ” There is no other choice, with my current get-up, I don’t think that I will be able to come here to the palanquin, now can I?”
Even though she said that she still hated the fact that she has to climb so many stairs again but there was no way around this time around as well. So, with no other choice in front of her, Liu Hui Ying sighed and then said, “Let’s go, there is no point in standing here and looking at this place.”
With that she walked over to the foot of the stairs but as soon as she got closer to the place, the guards standing on both sides dressed in vibrant red uniforms with their hair tied in long ponytails moved and stopped her by raising the swords that they were holding in their hands.
” Who are you? Why are you here?” One of the guards asked her as he looked at her with a frown, he looked at Liu Hui Ying. As far as he knew, he has never seen this person, and even though this person looked rather good-looking and well-versed, he could not allow him to enter the palace without identifying this person’s identity.
” Ah, Sir! I am a subject whom his majesty has hired just yesterday,” Liu Hui Ying replied in a different voice that no one has heard, as she showed him the letter that Zhai Tianyu has handed her, allowing her to come inside his palace. ” Can you let me go? There is something that this one wants to discuss with his majesty. As you can see, his majesty has asked me to come and see him today which was why I am, if I get late then I will be punished.”
.....
The guard took the letter and took a quick look at the content that was written on the letter and when he was done reading, he looked at the seal that belonged to the Emperor and nodded before putting down his sword as he stepped back. ” I see, you can go inside.”
He returned the letter and Liu Hui Ying took it by curling her fingers around the scroll while covering the tips with the fabric of her sleeves and then bowed to the guards as she walked passed the two guards and started to climb the stairs.
As Li Gang predicted it did not take her a long time before she started to heave like a walrus as she walked up the stairs.
” I am going to kill him someday,” Liu Hui Ying gritted her teeth as she climbed the stairs. ” Why are they bothering with making new ways to torture someone? Why don’t they ask them to climb these stairs ten to seventy times, they will die out of tiredness.”
Liu Hui Ying continued to climb the stairs even when she was complaining because there was no other choice for her. And by the time she arrived at the top of the stairs, she flopped on the top causing the guards who stood next to the door of the Emperor’s study. When they saw someone flop in front of them, they were stunned and as their eyes widened they looked down at the person in front of them.
After a short while, the guard on the right asked, ” Are you okay?”
” I... I am okay,” Liu Hui Ying panted as she raised her hand while still on the floor as showed it to the guards. ” I am here to see the Emperor as per the appointment he has given me.”
The guard crouched down and then took a look at the letter before turning to look at his colleague on the left and saying, ” Go and tell the Emperor that there is someone who came to see him.”
After saying this, he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was on the floor and asked, ” Are you sure that you are all right? Do you need me to bring you some water?”
” No, I am okay.” Liu Hui Ying responded, she could not even pick herself up from the floor but she still pushed herself off the floor and smiled at the guard. ” I am doing fine, thank you for asking.”
The guard nodded after confirming that Liu Hui Ying was fine while the guard on his side walked inside the study after receiving permission from the Emperor.
.....
Zhai Tianyu was studying a book that made him look like he was learning some sort of perverted knowledge when the guard of his study entered his room, he raised his head and asked gently, ” What is the matter?”
” A gentleman is here to see you, your majesty,” replied the guard.
