Chapter 13 Inauguration Ceremony(1/2)
"Are you...also a teacher?"
A man standing next to Su Cheng, who looked about 30 years old, asked Su Cheng in an uncertain tone.
Looking at Su Cheng, who was shabbily dressed next to him, a flash of disgust and contempt flashed in the man's eyes. Although the man quickly concealed it, Su Cheng was still keenly aware of it.
After all, when I lived in Falk's mansion before, I was always looked at like this.
"Well, if nothing else happens, I will be Her Royal Highness Ilsa's art of war teacher."
After saying that, Su Cheng extended his right hand to the man in a friendly manner.
"My name is Su Cheng."
"Art of War?" The man raised his eyebrows.
The man looked at the hand that Su Cheng stretched out, hesitated for a while, but still stretched out his right hand and shook it gently with Su Cheng, and said: "My name is William Smith, and this will be Ilsa."
His Highness’s history teacher.”
To say that he gently shook Su Cheng's hand might be an exaggeration. William's hand only touched Su Cheng's lightly, and then he put his hand down.
When William mentioned the words "history teacher", his tone was full of pride.
"I don't think you have received an education," William glanced at Su Cheng, who was wearing shabby clothes, with disgust, and continued, "Can you, a commoner, teach Her Highness Ilsa the art of war? Moreover, you are a commoner.
You look like you are less than 20 years old, right? You are so young, can you teach others?"
After noticing William's bad tone and his sarcasm, Su Cheng felt very unhappy.
Extremely unhappy.
Su Cheng thought to himself: When he lived in Mr. Falk's mansion before, he was always ridiculed by the group led by Shanna and Will. Now that he has come to Pendragon, why are he being ridiculed again?
Su Cheng, who has long been accustomed to ridicule, might have laughed off William's ridicule before, but for some reason today, he especially wanted to punish those who ridiculed him.
As a result, the corners of Su Cheng's mouth turned up slightly.
"How old are you this year?"
"37." Although William was confused by Su Cheng's sudden question, he still answered honestly.
"37?" Su Cheng made an exaggerated expression of surprise, "I thought you were 73! The tone of your speech and the words you said are exactly the same as those verbose old men."
"What?"
After hearing Su Cheng's unceremonious ridicule, William's face was full of anger, and his face turned the color of pig liver with anger.
Just when William opened his mouth and was about to say something, the guards in the meeting hall suddenly shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
After hearing this cry, the other teachers present immediately knelt down on one knee towards the gorgeous chair.
William hesitated for a while, glared at Su Cheng fiercely, and then knelt down on one knee towards the gorgeous chair.
When Su Cheng saw that everyone, except for the few guards present, knelt down on one knee towards the chair, he also followed suit and knelt down on one knee towards the chair.
Recalling William's angry face that turned the color of pig's liver just now, Su Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh.
Oops, I might have been too childish just now. How could I say such words casually that could easily make an enemy? Su Cheng thought to himself.
After reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" so many times, Su Cheng also realized another truth, which is to be careful in what you say and do. You must think carefully about every word before saying it, otherwise it will be easy for disaster to come out of your mouth.
However, although he shouldn't have said such words that could easily provoke others, Su Cheng felt particularly happy after saying these words.
Very, very cool.
Su Cheng, who was kneeling on one knee with his head lowered, could only see the ground beneath him.
Although he couldn't see it, Su Cheng could hear the footsteps.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have walked in from the left side of the gorgeous chair. Just now, Su Cheng discovered that there was a very high opening on the wall to the left of the gorgeous chair. This opening had no door and was big enough for two people.
Walk side by side.
Su Cheng heard someone walking into the meeting hall through that entrance, and there was not only one person, but probably two people.
Soon, the footsteps stopped and were replaced by the sound of people sitting on chairs.
Then, a deep voice came.
"Everyone, please raise your heads."
This voice should be the voice of His Majesty the Emperor. Su Cheng raised his head while thinking this.
When Su Cheng raised his head, he saw an old man in luxurious clothes sitting on the gorgeous chair.
This old man looks to be in his sixties, with completely white beard and hair. Although he looks old, he looks pretty good, with a rosy complexion and bright eyes.
If Su Cheng guessed correctly, he should be the 8th emperor of the Britannia Empire, Gozevin Augustus.
There was another person standing next to Emperor Gozevin.
He is a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man looks younger than Ge Zewen, about forty or fifty years old. He has silver-white hair, all combed back, and has an extremely eye-catching aquiline nose with a pair of masks on the bridge of his nose.
Exquisitely made glasses. There were so many wrinkles on his face that reminded Su Cheng of dried orange peels, and his complexion was dull. Although this middle-aged man was not handsome, he had a pair of very sharp and lively eyes.
A pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
This middle-aged man stood extraordinarily straight, with his back straight. Although he was just standing there doing nothing, Su Cheng could still feel a pressure from him.
This person should be His Majesty the Emperor's first favorite, Jacob Churchill. Su Cheng thought to himself.
Su Cheng is not a nerd who is deaf to what is happening outside the window and only reads books about sages. When he was still living in Falk's mansion, Su Cheng paid close attention to the current world situation, so he was very interested in various countries, especially Britain.
I have some understanding of the political situation of the Niya Empire.
Jacob Churchill was a favorite of Emperor Gosavan and Chancellor of the Britannia Empire.
Palace Chancellor is the official title of the Britannia Empire, and its status is similar to that of the Prime Minister in ancient China on Earth.
In other words, Jacob, who is in the position of palace minister, is undoubtedly the existence of "one person below and ten thousand people" in the Britannia Empire.
After Su Cheng and others raised their heads, Jacob looked at them, his eyes scanning the faces of Su Cheng and others one by one.
He didn't know if it was Su Cheng's illusion, but he felt that the gaze from Jacob's sharp eyes stayed on him for an extra long time as he passed by their teachers.
Ge Zewen, who was sitting on the throne, cleared his throat.
"Everyone present here is an outstanding person who has been carefully selected, so I have great expectations and trust in you. From today on, you will serve as Ilsa's teacher. Although Ilsa
Sometimes she is a little naughty, but she is an out-and-out good child. I hope you can teach her carefully. Well, I don’t want to talk unnecessary nonsense. The person whose name is called comes forward to receive the teacher’s uniform.
.”
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows.
He thought that the emperor might talk endlessly like the principals or company bosses on Earth who gave speeches at the opening ceremony, but he did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor was also a cheerful person and did not talk nonsense at all.
I couldn't help but have a good impression of the emperor.
Jacob next to the emperor took out a piece of paper. Jacob looked at the paper and said loudly in an emotionless tone: "History teacher! William Smith!"
William stood up immediately when his name was called, and quickly climbed up the nine steps and walked to Emperor Gozevin.
Just as William walked towards Emperor Gozevin, the guard next to Gozevin held two sets of clothes with a white background and beautiful red patterns and handed them to Gozevin.
After William walked in front of the emperor, he knelt on one knee again, lowered his head, and stretched out his hands, palms facing up.
"I hope you can teach Ilsa attentively." Gozevin said as he put the clothes just handed over by the guard into William's hands.
"I will do my best!" William responded loudly.
After William took the clothes, he returned to the original kneeling place and continued to kneel.
After William returned to his original position, Jacob continued to call the next teacher who came up to receive the teacher's uniform.
Su Cheng noticed that everyone had the same clothes, and everyone had two sets.
I have to say, it is quite user-friendly. Each person has 2 sets of clothes, which is convenient for others to change and wash.
There were not many teachers, and soon everyone except Su Cheng received their clothes.
"Teacher of the Art of War! Su Cheng!"
He didn't know if it was Su Cheng's misunderstanding, but he felt that when Jacob read his name, he was no longer emotionless as before, but with some emotion.
After hearing that it was his turn, Su Cheng immediately stepped forward.
"Haha, you are Su Cheng. I hope you can teach Ilsa well. I am looking forward to you very much."
Looking at Su Cheng who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Ge Zewen suddenly said this out of nowhere.
What does it mean? Su Cheng had doubts in his mind.
Why do you say it as if you have heard my name before, and now you have finally seen it?
Although doubts arose in his heart, Su Cheng still calmly shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty" loudly, and then returned to the original place holding the two sets of clothes in his hands.
"Okay, you have all received your clothes. Someone will take you to draw your portraits later. When it is your teaching time, just wear this teacher's uniform, and then tell the guard in front of Baiyang Palace that you
It only needs to be Ilsa's teacher. Someone will compare your portraits and they will be released after confirming that they are you. After the portraits are drawn, each of you will be given a 'teaching timetable', which you can press in the future.
Just come to the White House to teach Ilsa on the scheduled time, and each of you will be given a pocket watch, so you don’t have to worry about not having a watch to check the time.”
