Heaven’s Intention

Chapter 493 Banquet (Part 1)

After leaving the palace, Romon sat in a carriage. Followed by several empty cars, they went back to the luxury hotel where they lived temporarily.

I have to say that the rent here is so expensive that it hurts. However, being expensive has its advantages, and it is worth the money. Since the boss dares to ask for so much money, it is naturally worth it.

, after Romon stayed here, it saved a lot of trouble to go back and forth to the royal palace. The royal city is just a city, but in fact, it has a larger area. It is not comparable to the cities in ordinary counties. If the nobles from other places do not have real estate in the royal city, they will choose to live temporarily in a place close to the royal palace.

For one thing, it is more convenient when meeting the king or attending court banquets. After all, it is too troublesome and a waste of time to fill the city with horse-drawn carriages whenever there is something to do.

The second is that the nobles of the royal city lived near the royal palace. In fact, it was just for the convenience of discussing things at the beginning that the princes and ministers of Wangcheng lived like this.

But the direct consequence of this incident is that the land near the palace is extremely expensive. Except for the real powerful people, it is impossible to buy these lands, let alone do business or live here.

The closer the land is to the palace, the more expensive it is. This is not something that can be bought with money alone, it is also a symbol of status.

Emerald Avenue is a place where noble houses and the most luxurious hotels and restaurants gather. The area of ​​this street is so large that it can accommodate the homes of 30% of the nobles in the royal city. This street is also very small, so small that only nobles dare Wander around here wantonly.

The people who can live in Jade Street can be said to be the middle and upper class figures in the aristocratic pyramid. Other small and medium nobles generally choose to live near Jade Street or further away.

Even a wealthy local nobleman like Romon, who came to the royal city where the nobles gather, can only be regarded as a middle-level person. With his own status, he can live in Emerald Street, of course, but he wants to live here. Buying a villa will take some time to operate.

Lu Xiupei, I'm going to take a rest. I'm not going anywhere today. Don't call me for dinner. I'll talk about when I come out tomorrow. Luo Meng got out of the carriage and told Lu Xiupei who was following behind him. .

Yes, my lord. For any decision of Romon, Lu Xiupei's reaction after hearing it was to execute, execute, and execute again. Upon hearing Romon's order, he immediately expressed his understanding.

By the way, the ten boxes of crystal fruit are back, right? Romon walked a few steps, remembered something, and immediately returned.

Looking at Romon's questioning eyes, Lu Xiupei replied very briefly: Yes,

grown ups.

Well, I heard that the princess went out to play today. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will send the invitation to the princess, and say that I want to pay her a visit and bring her a gift for her brother. Romon thought for a while, and ordered Lu Xiu Pei said.

Although meeting the princess is not as rigorous as meeting the king, there is still a procedure.

Yes, my lord. Lu Xiupei expressed his understanding. Of course, he, who has always been reticent, still answered very concisely.

Luo Meng has also been used to it for a long time. Knowing that Lu Xiupei's work is reliable, he can rest assured that the matter is entrusted to him. What's more, this matter is not difficult in his opinion. If Princess Qianya wants to see him, He will naturally respond when he receives his request for advice. If the other party doesn't respond, he will take a good turn in the royal city. It's hard to come here. It can't be in vain, can it?

Because Luo Meng's cultivation was almost without delay for a day, even when he arrived in the royal city, Luo Meng did not let himself have fun and disregarded his cultivation. As soon as he paid his respects to the king, he entered his room, closed the door, and began to practice seriously.

It was already evening when they came back, and the carriage that Romon was riding in was always stocked with pastries, fruits, fruit wine, white water and other items. In order not to be hungry due to the long meeting time, Romon had already left when he left. I ate some pastries and drank some water. When I came back, I ate some snacks from time to time. I am not very hungry now.

Once he went in and came out again, it was indeed noon the next day.

And during this period. Sure enough, according to Luo Meng's instructions, Lu Xiupei found two trusted servants, rode back to the palace, and handed the invitation to the princess.

I would like to explain here that although Princess Qianya lived in the palace, when Romon visited the king, she was not allowed to visit her at the same time. This was a rule of the aristocratic society, and it was also a kind of etiquette.

Even if Romon wanted to bring those boxes of crystal fruits to the princess, if the princess hadn't appeared in front of him, he would not have been able to take the initiative to meet the princess on that day, and on this day, Princess Qianya happened to be out of the palace for a visit. It was not in the palace, so Romon had no choice but to pull the crystal fruit away, and then pull it back.

As for the second prince's name, it was just a nice name to meet the princess, but this set of rhetoric should not be mentioned in front of the king, as it would reveal his secrets.

Anyway, the nobility does not restrict the communication between men and women, it is enough for Romon to meet in private.

Riding a horse to the attendant's office, the attendant sent by Lu Xiupei followed the order and sent the invitation letter to the attendant's office. According to the regulations, those attendants who received the invitation letter will present it to the princess, and after the princess agrees, someone will come to notify Romon.

At that time, they couldn't get the news immediately. After the post was sent, the attendant went back to make a business trip, but they didn't know it. In this way, the re-meeting between Luo Meng and Princess Qianya was unexpectedly postponed for a few days.

It turned out that Princess Qianya was the most welcome guest among high society ladies. In the past few days, she did not return to the palace, but lived in the home of a close friend, and went to the banquet held by the ladies every day, and was very busy every day.

But she didn't go back to the palace, and she didn't know that Romon had arrived in the palace. Although the servants in the palace knew her whereabouts, they didn't think that Viscount Tetashaw was special, so they just suppressed the invitation letter, even if there were people every day. The servants changed shifts to defend the princess, and no one mentioned it at all.

A viscount is indeed prominent in the place, but he is just a mid-level nobleman in the royal city.

In this way, after three days, Romon didn't wait for the person sent by the princess, and didn't care too much, so he started wandering around the royal city.

On the first day and the second day of Romon, I just walked around nearby, went to some famous places, and bought some interesting specialties.

This afternoon, he was eating in a high-end restaurant on West Yulan Street in Wangcheng City. Someone came to his place with a banquet invitation.

...It's like this. My lord just went out for a walk. We who are servants don't know exactly where he went. How about this? Please post it and let me collect it for you. When my lord comes back, I will definitely hand it over to him. .” A waiter who stayed behind thought for a while and said.

It can only be like this, there are a lot of things in the palace, the knight who delivered the letter can't just wait like this, he looked at the attendant: That's fine, but I need to know your name, if In the future, Viscount Tetashaw didn't get the invitation card. I can tell who answered it.

The waiter who stayed behind said, the knight nodded, handed the exquisite box containing the invitation to the waiter, said nothing more, and rode away on horseback.

Who is so arrogant. The attendant next to him muttered unhappily.

He is a palace knight, why would he like us? Forget it, anyway, he won't stay for long, take this invitation card in first, and hand it to your lord when you come back. The attendant holding the exquisite small box sighed. with.

A group of people turned around and walked back to the house. When Romon came back in the evening, what he saw was an invitation in a beautiful box. Unfold the invitation, and you will see beautiful fonts dancing on the textured gold paper.

This is an invitation for a palace banquet. There are many nobles invited, basically covering many aristocratic figures in the upper class. If you want to step into the upper class in the royal city, this banquet is definitely a good opportunity.

Luo Meng decided to make serious preparations. He ordered people to prepare a car outside, and in the carriage, he came to the most famous and the best tailor shop on Emerald Street. One is the illusion that this is a noble villa, which is very elegant, noble and emotional.

Here, Romon ordered a few sets of clothes, all of which are specially used to attend high-end banquets, and the price is extremely expensive. The reason why they don't need to bring clothes from the territory is because only the people here know the current trend in the royal city. , and a person's appearance packaging, when meeting strangers, will greatly affect the level of impression points.

Romon is not stingy about investing in this aspect.

In fact, when wearing the expensive clothes made by the most famous and expensive tailor in Wangcheng, the aristocratic temperament of Romon's body was brought out to the greatest extent, and he didn't look like a country bumpkin at all.

Three days later, Romon rushed to the palace in a carriage to attend the banquet.

The address of this banquet was chosen on the first floor of the main palace, occupying the largest and most splendid hall. He passed through several checkpoints, and after checking his identity and invitation, he entered the hall smoothly.

Lu Xiupei and others were resting in other parts of the palace. It was the first time for Romon to attend a court banquet. It can be said that he was an unfamiliar face at the banquet. At first, everyone was just surprised by his outstanding appearance, but after careful observation, they found that he After not knowing the prominent nobles, they all averted their eyes and went to chat with other people.

Just when Romon felt a little bored, someone behind him suddenly said: Viscount Tetashaw, why are you here? When did you come to the capital? (!)
