5. The Emperor, Kublai Khan
The Polos were still more than four hundred miles from Peking.They were travelling very slowly. A messenger from the Emperor came to meet them.
“Kublai Khan has heard thet you are coming,” he said. “He is waiting for you. He has sent me to bring you to his summer palace.”
The Emperor was sitting on a magnificent golder throne in his summer palace at Shangtu. He had pink cheeks and a big,black moustache. His eyes wre black and very bright.A lion lay at his feet. It opened its mouth and yawned at marco.
Marco’s father and uncle knelt in front of the Emperor on both khees. Then thay touched the ground with their foreheads. That was the right way to greet important people in china.
Kublai Khan Smiled at them. “Welcome to China,” he said. Then he looked at marco.
“Who is this young man?” he asked.
“He is my son,” Marco’s father replied,
“and he will serve you well”
“I am glad to see your son,” said Kublai Khan . “I will make him one of my courtiers.”
Then some other courtiers led Marco away and gave him beauiful chinese clothes. “How handsome I look,” Marco said to himself. “I shall like being a courthes.”
That night the Emperor gave a big dinner perty and he invited the Polos to it.
There were hundreds of courtiers and thousands of servvants of courtiers and thousands of servants at the party.
The food was served on gold plates, and they drank wine out of gold cups.
Marco sat on a skil cushion and listened to the music of the Emperor’s trumpeters. His fhater and uncle told Kublai Khan the story of their long journey.
A courtier named Ahmad was listening.He thought, “Why does the Emperor listening to these foreigners?” He was jealous, and he looked angrily at Marco.
