The second day of the wedding was held normally. Joffrey performed the oath ceremony with the bride in the church. When Joffrey put the robe symbolizing protection on Asha's shoulders, thunderous applause broke out in the church hall.

For the first time, this stern fisherman girl revealed an absent-minded smile.

Just a few weeks ago, I was a helper wearing sackcloth to wash aquatic products for the boatmen all day long, but now I was wearing a waistcoat full of patterns and a black background that was draped by the king himself, with a robe that imitated the flag of the Lu family with gold thread.

The applause from the nobles below was so pleasing, Asha was immersed in it.

Joffrey beside him also had the same thought, he cocked his mouth and enjoyed the respect from the audience.

After finishing the oath, the nobles came to the Fisherman's Square under the guidance one after another. This place has long been arranged as a pleasure pool for the nobles. The golden robes blocked the nearby streets and drove away the ordinary people early.

The nobles sat down in groups towards the place where their relatives gathered, and the attendants began to gradually serve dishes, jugs and fruits.

The band played recklessly in the middle of the square, and the clowns from Myr and Rhys put on painted faces and laughed around the nobles, jugglers on stilts waved their torches, and some bloated The jesters flattered and entertained nobles from all over the place.

After the heads of the Lannister, Tyrell, and Martell families entered, various cheers and applause broke out at the scene.

A group of members of the Lannister family sat on the main seat one by one, including the newly married Asha and Vilas, who was the queen mother's husband.

Olenna and Mace sat on the right hand side of the head of the River Bend nobles, and Oberyn sat on the left side with his mistress. This place does not distinguish where the nobles come from. Oberyn naturally likes the curiosity brought about by this strangeness. feel.

Joffrey was blowing the wind from the Blackwater River vigorously, when Mace Tyrell stepped forward and took out a box.

"On behalf of Tyrell and the people of the Riverbend, I am honored to present this deer lantern to you, Your Majesty. I wish you a happy marriage with Asha of the Iron Islands, and may your majesty's rule last forever like this lantern," he said. Mace took out a deer-shaped hex bulb inlaid with glass from the box and pressed the button. Although the deer light was not very bright in sunlight, the transmitted light gave the originally crystal-clear glass surface a yellow glow. , looks like a small deer.

Joffrey held it in his hand and played with it, "My lord lamp!"

"It is my honor! Your Majesty!" Mestyrion bowed against the gray Mediterranean Sea and bid farewell.

Cersei looked at it with contempt, and then took out this kind of useless thing.

At this time, Vilas, who was sitting next to Cersei, saw a trace of displeasure on Cersei's face, leaned close to his head and whispered in his ear: "Don't be sad, you accidentally dropped one, I will let Dragonstone send it to you." Come on the second one, the third one, as long as you like, you can choose His Majesty's deer lantern or a golden lion."

Immediately afterwards, the top nobles from all over the country sent representatives to present gifts.

Joffrey's facial expression fluctuated depending on whether the gift was to his liking or not.

When the offering was complete, Joffrey stood up with his goblet.

"My lords and ladies, thanks to the support of House Tyrell and House Lannister, we can enjoy a moment of sweetness here, but the Starks in the North and Stannis the false king in the Vale are trying take away this peace."

"I will never say yes!" Joffrey said impassionedly.

Several followers from King's Landing echoed loudly in the square.

The nobles in other places also symbolically echoed the second and third times.

After the sound from the audience became quieter, Joffrey said:

"I believe that with such a concerted effort, King's Landing will win the next victory, isn't it! Just like the shit I beat Stannis at the Blackwater River before." Joffrey said, pointing to the Blackwater River on the left.

"Cut off the heads of the false king and the wolf cubs!" shouted the knight below, and Joffrey drank his cup in satisfaction.

When the performance started after Joffrey's waving, the nobles from all over the place left the seats of their family members with wine glasses, and then began to chat with people from other duchies or places. After all, few nobles pay attention to a banquet. In eating and drinking.

This is a good opportunity to add knowledge, expand contacts and even get married. The heads of each family or the young people of their age are walking around, dredging up relationships with other nobles.

Varys folded his arms and looked at the people at the banquet. From time to time, a few noble young men would come up to him and chat with him, but Varys refused.

Joffrey was bored staring at the unglamorous performance under the stage, and suddenly noticed Tyrion who was drinking and laughing.

"Uncle, why didn't I receive your wedding gift?" Joffrey asked, stepping forward.

Tyrion looked at his nephew who interrupted his interest with a dazed expression, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I've been busy preparing for Your Majesty's wedding these days, it's because I didn't think well, I will replenish your wedding gift in the evening Yours." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and turned his head to chat with other nobles.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Joffrey bit the corner of his mouth and decided to embarrass Tyrion, "Uncle, the innkeeper on Silk Street has recently spread a rumor that you used the power of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of King's Landing to amass a lot of money. It stole half of the funds that were originally used to entertain nobles from all over the place."

Tyrion turned his head again after listening to the words in Joffrey's mouth: "You have a grandfather who loves you, and he is willing to give tens of thousands of golden dragons to you on the premise that the Iron Throne owes the Western Region millions of debts." You marry a queen, and you also have a mother who loves you, and he won tens of thousands of golden dragons for your marriage through marriage, and the dwarf's gift is not worth mentioning in front of their love, Your Majesty."

"A wedding costs as much as a tourney, and the dwarf spent your grandfather's and mother's love where it should be spent," said Tyrion.

"Where should I spend it? Does it include your whoring money, or the wages of your servant friends and the wine money of thieves and mercenaries?"

"I don't have time to go to a brothel during the wedding. Besides, they deserve the money. They are also busy working on His Majesty's marriage. If Your Majesty is reluctant to part with this little money, no one is willing to work for you."

"Running? Your king didn't see it, but you used your status as the finance minister to embezzle his people's dues and spread it to the king's ears. Now I want you to go and pour wine for the distinguished guests in King's Landing, otherwise the king will rule you The crime of corruption and breaking the law."

Tyrion indifferently wanted to lift the glass and drink it up, but Joffrey knocked the glass from Tyrion's hand.

Everyone around heard the sound of the wine glass hitting the ground. Tyrion wanted to bend down to pick up the wine glass, but Joffrey kicked the wine glass on the ground again, kicking the wine glass further away.
