Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me
Chapter 294 How can I keep my seat?
The Grand Emperor saw that although Su Yue was in this majestic palace, facing the supreme being like him, he did not show excessive fear or flattery. Instead, he was able to remain calm, with curiosity and thinking in his eyes, rather than simple awe.
The Emperor nodded secretly in his heart, quite satisfied with Su Yue's humble attitude.
She thought to herself that it was rare for this woman to be able to maintain some of her self-possession in such a situation.
The Emperor still did not speak, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible admiration. He continued to observe Su Yue, waiting for her next performance.
Su Yue was on edge the whole time, keeping an eye on the emperor's actions.
When she saw the Grand Emperor finally put down the teacup in his hand, she immediately displayed excellent foresight and steadily held up the gift she had brought with both hands. She took a small step forward, bowed slightly, and wore a perfectly respectful and flattering smile on her face. "Grand Emperor, I got a little new stuff from a Western merchant a while ago. The merchant said it was amazing, saying it was rare in the world, had miraculous effects, and was priceless.
But I am a simple person, and I really don't know how to appreciate it. I think that only you, the Great Emperor, are so knowledgeable and have such refined taste that you can recognize the beauty of this treasure. So I dare to ask you to help me take a look."
Su Yue's voice was clear and loud, not too flattering, but full of sincerity and expectation.
There was a cautious light in her eyes. She stared at the emperor's expression and observed his reaction. Her heart was like a little rabbit, beating fast and uneasy.
The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Yue's flattering look.
She has experienced countless ups and downs in her life and met all kinds of people. Su Yue's little thoughts are as transparent as if in front of her, and she can see through them at a glance.
Strangely, the Emperor not only did not feel the slightest bit disgusted by Su Yue's flattery, but instead found it quite amusing.
Logically speaking, Su Yue was just one of the many people who took part in the imperial examination. He came from a poor family and did not show any particularly outstanding qualities. He should not have left any deep impression on the emperor.
But for some reason, Su Yue's figure always appeared in Taihuang's mind from time to time during these days.
Perhaps it was her determined and slightly stubborn look when encountering problems, perhaps it was the intelligence and cleverness she inadvertently revealed, or perhaps it was her unique behavior during that chance encounter.
The Emperor himself couldn't explain it clearly, but once the thought arose, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
Finally, the Grand Emperor could no longer suppress his curiosity and sent someone to summon Su Yue to the palace for an audience. He wanted to find out for himself what charm this ordinary yet special woman had that made him so obsessed with her.
The Grand Emperor cooperated with great interest and said, "Oh? What is it? Let me see it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a well-trained female official came forward and took the gift from Su Yue's hand with gentle and efficient movements. She opened it carefully and presented it.
The Empress Dowager leaned forward slightly, carefully examining the gift before her. Ejiao and bird's nest were not unfamiliar to her; these nourishing delicacies could often be found in the palace.
But the donkey-hide gelatin in front of her was purer in color, and the texture of the bird's nest was more delicate and superior. It was indeed of better quality than what she usually ate.
When the emperor's gaze shifted to the can of milk powder, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
She had seen a lot in her life, but she had never seen or heard of this milk powder.
Seeing this, Su Yue hurried forward and explained respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is milk powder from the West. As you know, milk is not easy to preserve. If you want to drink milk, you can only get it from the cow on the spot.
But this milk powder is very different. It is easy to store and you can enjoy it whenever and wherever you want to drink it by just adding hot water.
The taste of this powdered milk is a little different from fresh milk, so you can try it, Tai Huang."
While Su Yue was speaking, she always had a respectful smile on her face and her eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that the emperor would be satisfied with this gift.
After hearing Su Yue's introduction, the emperor was really interested. His eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life but were still bright, sparkled with curiosity. He immediately ordered the female official beside him: "Go, make me a cup to taste."
Upon hearing this, the female official's face immediately showed an embarrassment. She knelt down and said, "Grand Majesty, this thing has an unknown origin. According to the rules, it must be strictly inspected and selected before it can be consumed by you. What if..."
The Grand Emperor waved his hand nonchalantly and said firmly, "It's okay. Just follow Su Yue's instructions and make me a cup to try."
Seeing the Grand Majesty's resolute attitude, the female official nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, Grand Majesty."
Then he carefully picked up the milk powder and stepped back.
Su Yue watched this scene from the side, and suddenly a feeling of excitement surged in her heart.
She herself also felt strange. Somehow, seeing that the emperor trusted her so much and was willing to try this thing he had never seen before without hesitation, her mood involuntarily became cheerful.
Thinking that this might be a good start, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
The Grand Emperor was so perceptive that he immediately caught the change in Su Yue's expression and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Su Yue, why are you so happy?"
Su Yue was stunned by this sudden and straightforward question. She came to her senses in an instant and thought to herself, "Oh no!" How could she lose her composure like this in front of the Emperor?
But she quickly reacted, looking at the Grand Emperor with a firm gaze, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Su Yue is naturally very happy to have such trust from the Grand Emperor. Su Yue is well aware of her humble status, but the Grand Emperor is willing to believe what Su Yue says. This is a great honor for Su Yue, so she couldn't contain her joy for a moment."
After saying that, Su Yue lowered his head again, feeling uneasy, not knowing whether his answer would satisfy the emperor.
When the Emperor heard Su Yue's straightforward answer, he was stunned for a moment.
During her long life, she had experienced countless power struggles and was accustomed to people's roundabout and indirect ways of expressing themselves.
Those people always carefully hide their true thoughts and respond with all kinds of obscure words.
The Su Yue in front of him actually revealed all his inner thoughts without reservation, which was really beyond the emperor's expectation.
The Grand Emperor couldn't help but think to himself: "This Su Yue, really... How could she reveal her inner thoughts so easily?
If she is so innocent and frank, how can she maintain her position in the turbulent officialdom in the future? "
The Emperor frowned slightly, his eyes filled with worry and confusion.
