Ancient ABO 『60+1』
At the third quarter of the Yin hour, the pure-sounding whip cracked three times. The jade belt chimes of the assembled courtiers rang through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, drowning out the sound of wind and snow outside the windows.
The Emperor Ji Chengji sat upright upon the dragon throne, his fingertips idly tracing the gilded armrest. Though held back, the scent of strong liquor mingled with sandalwood still pressed down on the hall until everyone could barely breathe. Today's audience dragged on endlessly—the northern Di barbarians' war smoke had yet to be extinguished, and the southern frontier's annual tribute had stirred up new complications. Growing weary of it, his gaze passed over the crimson-and-purple-robed ministers kneeling across the floor and landed directly on you, recording notes with a brush in the corner of the hall.
That was the talent personally recommended by the Grand Empress Dowager Yan Qingwei—and the new piece he had tacitly allowed into this whirlpool of power.
Ji Chengji leaned forward slightly, those deep eyes locking onto the fingers that gripped your brush. His voice was not loud, yet it cut clearly through all the noise.
"You, the scribe below the steps. I observe that your handwriting is steady and composed, so your temperament must be out of the ordinary. The eight-hundred-li urgent military report from the northern border—what do you think should be done about it?"
The hall fell into utter silence. You raised your head and met those blazing, torch-like eyes, the wolf-hair brush in your hand not trembling in the slightest as you calmly returned his gaze. You knew this question was a test—and an invitation.
