Chapter 482 Jade Carving
But Lu Rui now only wants to see her as soon as possible.
When he finally entered the capital of Daning Kingdom, Lu Rui found that his palms were sweating uncontrollably.
In particular, he clearly remembered the direction to Gu's house, and now he just wished he could appear in front of her immediately.
However, he cannot act impulsively now.
So, Lu Rui sat down as if nothing had happened, waiting for the Queen's people to come and greet them.
In the capital city.
The people looked at the carriage from the Holy Land with curiosity.
The bodies of these carriages are carved with lifelike flowers and auspicious beasts, and the outside is inlaid with gems, gold and silver. Even if only one bead falls off, it is enough for an ordinary person to spend for a lifetime.
The curtains on the windows and doors are made of silk brocade, and the carriage made of sandalwood exudes an elegant atmosphere.
The horses pulling the cart in front had shiny hair and bright eyes.
The sound of people talking could be heard from the crowd.
"Have you heard? The one coming this time is the Emperor of the Holy Land!"
"What? It's the emperor, no wonder the carriage is so prosperous!"
"Well, I wonder if we'll ever have the honor of meeting the emperor of this holy land. I heard he's a very handsome man!"
"Now that you mention it, I want to see it even more."
But they also knew that given their status, they were lucky enough to see this traveling carriage today.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind lifted the curtain on the car window, and people nearby saw the man's face flash by.
"Oh my god, they have green eyes."
Lu Rui in the carriage didn't care too much about the comments outside.
Over the past few years, he has long since mastered the skill of remaining calm and not letting others see his emotions.
Bai Xuan looked up at Lu Rui.
She often meets her royal brother, and she still thinks her snow wolf is the most beautiful in the world!
When they entered the palace, the queen and her people had been waiting for them for a long time.
Lu Rui and Bai Xuan followed the Queen's men to the main hall. Lu Rui thought to himself, maybe she would come today too.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the hall, he saw her outstanding figure in the crowd at a glance.
She looked unchanged, just as she had been before, smiling as she bought herself.
The Queen greeted them, "You all must have come so long, thank you for your hard work. Come, please take a seat."
After Lu Rui sat down, he asked someone to present the gifts for the Daning Kingdom.
To be honest, the Queen is quite looking forward to what the people from the Holy Land will bring this time.
After all, she is still keeping the national treasure peacock they gave her last time.
She had seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but what she wanted to see more were some things she had never seen before.
Two men carried a box forward. Not only the queen, but everyone else in the hall held their breath, waiting for the mystery to be revealed.
The box was opened and two men carried out a large piece of jade carving inside.
The jade carving is transparent green in color as a whole, but there is a landscape painting carved on it.
The Queen couldn't help but stand up.
The two men gently placed the jade carving on the ground, and people around them exclaimed in amazement.
Some careful people discovered that the landscape painting above was exactly the mountain separating the Holy Land and the Daning Kingdom, and even the position of the waterfall above was exactly the same.
Originally, jade was difficult to carve, especially such a large piece of jade.
This is an extremely difficult test of the sculptor's skills. If one place is carved wrong, it is very likely that such a large piece of jade will be ruined.
Lu Rui took the initiative to say: "This gift is dedicated to the Daning Kingdom. May there never be war between the two countries."
This is his purpose.
After all, no matter which side starts fighting first, the ones who get hurt are just the civilians.
The queen took the initiative to walk down the steps and approached the jade carving.
She gently stroked the cool and smooth jade carving.
There is no need to say much about the value of this jade carving. Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a jade carving.
The empress sat back down again, and the jade carving was carefully carried away by several guards.
Bai Xuan was actually a little annoyed by these cumbersome etiquette. While Lu Rui was talking to the Queen, she had secretly glanced at Gu Qingyuan.
She mouthed, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember me?"
Gu Qingyuan understood her lip language and replied, "Remember."
After all, she is Lu Rui's biological sister, how could she not remember her?
Bai Xuan was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but considering her image as a princess, she had to hold herself back.
She planned to go find the emperor's sister-in-law immediately after the banquet.
On the other side, Lu Rui sat back down after talking to the Queen.
The Queen looked at Lu Rui, who was sitting below, with admiration.
At the beginning, he was just a slave bought by Gu Qingyuan.
But now he has transformed himself into the noble emperor of the Holy Land, and even I have to respect him a little.
Moreover, she had also heard about Lu Rui's methods.
Now, everyone in the Holy Land listens to him, and he came today and presented such a large piece of jade carving to ask for peace.
Could it be that the Holy Land really has no ulterior motives and just wants to be a guest?
The banquet began and Lu Rui drank absentmindedly.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at Gu Qingyuan.
But she was talking to someone else at the time and didn't notice him.
Lu Rui lowered his head and poured himself another glass of wine.
With the comparison of the jade carving, the other things sent by the Holy Land Kingdom lost their color. The Queen waved her hand and asked people to take the things away without even looking at them.
When the banquet was halfway through, someone suddenly mentioned it.
"I heard that the current emperor of the Holy Land was once just a slave of our Daning Kingdom."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
The person who spoke realized that she had said the wrong thing, and the eyes of the people around her turned to her.
She laughed dryly and said, "I drank too much and talked nonsense. I will drink three cups as punishment."
Lu Rui smiled slightly and stood up.
"I never deny my past."
His voice was clear, but upon closer listening, it carried a certain sense of oppression.
"But that's all in the past, isn't it?"
Lu Rui looked at the woman who had just spoken with a murderous look.
If anyone dared to mention this matter in the Holy Land, he would immediately drag them out and behead them.
But this is in Daning Kingdom, and he can't do anything yet.
"Haha, yes, it's a thing of the past."
The woman sat down with lingering fear.
She originally thought that someone would agree with her when she spoke, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who spoke out first.
If the Holy Land was a small country that relied on the Great Ning Kingdom, and Lu Rui had no real power, everyone would definitely talk about his past and look down on him.
But the one sitting here now is not the timid slave from before but the new White Emperor who holds the power of life and death.
Gu Qingyuan looked at him with some surprise.
These few years are enough to change a person.
