Chapter 493 Banquet (1)
Chapter 493 Banquet (Part 1)
After leaving the palace, Romon took a carriage, followed by several empty cars, and returned to the luxurious hotel where he was temporarily living.
I have to say that the rent here is so expensive that it makes people feel bitter, but it has the benefits of being expensive and worth it. Since the boss dares to ask for so much money, there is naturally something worth it.
After Romon lived here, he had a lot of trouble when he went back and forth to the palace. When the royal city heard it was just a city. In fact, the area was too large, and it was not comparable to that of a city in an ordinary county. Any foreign nobles who came to the royal city to do business would choose to stay in a place close to the palace for temporary residence.
First of all, it is more convenient to pay homage to the king or attend court banquets. After all, it is too troublesome to have a carriage all over the city whenever something happens, and it is a waste of time.
Second, the nobles of the royal city lived close to the palace. In fact, at the beginning, the king and minister lived in this way, just to discuss things and make it easier to consider.
But the direct consequence of this incident is that the land near the palace is extremely expensive, and it is impossible for a person with real power to buy these lands, let alone start a business or live here.
The closer you get to the palace, the more precious the land you get. This is no longer something you can buy with money, and it is a symbol of status.
Jade Street is a place where noble houses and the most luxurious hotels and restaurants are gathered. The area of this street is very large, so large that it can accommodate 30% of the nobles in the royal city. This street is also very small, so small that only nobles dare to hang out here.
Those who can live in Jade Street can be said to be middle-level figures in the pyramid of nobles. Other small and medium-sized aristocrats generally choose to live near Jade Street or farther away.
Even a local noble like Romon, who is rich and powerful, can't be considered powerful when he comes to this royal city where nobles gather. He can only be considered a medium-sized person. With his own identity, he can move into Jade Street, of course, but if he wants to buy a villa here, he will have to spend some time managing it.
"Lu Xiupei, I'll go and have a rest. I won't go anywhere today. Don't call me for dinner. I'll talk about when I'll come out tomorrow." Luo Meng got off the carriage and told Lu Xiupei who was following him.
"Yes, sir." When Lu Xiupei heard any decision of Romon, he would implement, execute, and then execute. As soon as he heard Romon's order, he immediately understood.
"By the way, those ten boxes of crystal fruits have been pulled back, right?" Romon took a few steps, remembered something again, and immediately retreated.
Looking at Romon's inquiring gaze, Lu Xiupei replied very briefly: "Yes, sir."
"Well, I heard that the princess went out for a trip today. Let's go to the princess tomorrow. I said I wanted to pay my respects to her and bring her a gift for her brother." Romon thought for a moment and ordered Lu Xiupei to say.
Although it is not as rigorous as seeing the princess as meeting the king, it requires a procedure.
"Yes, sir." Lu Xiupei understood. Of course, he was always taciturn, but he still had a very concise answer.
Romon had long been used to it. He knew that Lu Xiupei was reliable in doing things, so he would be relieved to leave it to him. What's more, this matter was not a very difficult thing in his opinion. If Princess Qianya wanted to see him, she would naturally react when she received his request for a visit. If the other party did not respond, he would make a good move in this royal city. After finally coming this trip, it would not be in vain, right?
Because Romon's practice was almost unstoppable for a day, even when he arrived at this royal city, Romon did not let himself have fun and ignored his practice. As soon as he paid homage to the king, he entered his room, closed the door, and started practicing seriously.
It was already evening when they came back. The carriage that Romon was riding in was always filled with pastries, fruits, fruit wine, white water and other items. In order not to be hungry because of the long visit, Romon had already eaten some pastries and drank some water when he went back. When he came back, he also ate snacks from time to time. Now he is not very hungry.
He went in and out again, and it was indeed noon the next day.
During this period, Lu Xiupei, as Romon's instructions, found two close servants, rode their horses to the palace again, and handed the princess a letter of acceptance.
Here we will also explain that although Princess Qianya lives in the palace, she cannot go to see her at the same time when Romon pays homage to the king. This is a regulation of the aristocratic society and a kind of etiquette.
Even though Romon wanted to bring those boxes of crystal fruits to the princess at that time, if the princess had not appeared in front of him, he would not have been able to pay tribute to the princess on the same day. On that day, Princess Qianya happened to go out of the palace to play and was not in the palace. Therefore, Romon had to pull the crystal fruit away and how to pull it back.
And under the name of the second prince, it was just a nice name to meet the princess. However, this set of rhetoric cannot be mentioned in front of the king, and it is revealed when it is mentioned.
Anyway, there is no restriction on communication between men and women between nobles, so Romon just meets him in private.
He rode his horse to the attendant's office. The attendant sent by Lu Xiupei sent him to the attendant's office according to the order. According to the regulations, the attendant who received the post of the interview would present it to the princess. After the princess agreed, he would notify Romon.
At that time, I could not get the news immediately. After sending the post, the servant went back to submit the service, but I didn't know that, but unexpectedly postponed the meeting between Romon and Princess Qianya for a few days.
It turned out that the Qianya Princess was the most popular guest among the ladies and ladies in the upper class. In the past few days, she has not returned to the palace, but has lived in the home of a best friend. She went to the banquet held by the ladies every day and was very busy every day.
She did not return to the palace, and did not know that Romon had arrived in the royal city. Although the attendants of the palace knew where she was, they did not think that Viscount Tetasha had any speciality. They just suppressed the letter of Quezing. Even though the attendants changed shifts to defend the princess every day, no one mentioned this matter at all.
A viscount is indeed prominent in the local area, but in the royal city, he is just an intermediate noble.
In this way, three days later, Romon began to wander around the royal city without waiting for the people sent by the princess and not caring very much.
On the first and second days, Romon just walked around nearby, went to some famous places, and bought some interesting specialties.
That afternoon, he was having a meal in a high-end restaurant on the west Magnolia Street in Wangcheng City. Someone took the invitation for the banquet and found his place to live.
"...That's right. My master just went out to redirect. We servants are not very clear about where we are. Why not do this? Please post it to me for collection. When my master comes back, I will definitely hand it over to him." A left-behind servant thought for a while and said.
That's all. There are so many things in the palace. The knight who delivered the letter can't just wait. He looked at the attendant: "It's good, but I need to know your name. If Viscount Tetasha doesn't get the invitation in the future, I can tell who answered it."
The left-behind servant said that, and the knight nodded and handed the exquisite box containing the invitation to the servant. He stopped saying anything and left on a horse.
"Who is so arrogant?" the servant next to him muttered unhappily.
"He is a court knight, how could he fall in love with us? Forget it, I can't stay for too long anyway. Take this post first and wait until the adult comes back and hand it over to the adults." The attendant holding the exquisite small box said sighing.
A group of people turned around and walked back to the courtyard. When Romon came back in the evening, they saw a piece of invitation in a beautiful box. When they expanded the invitation, they saw the beautiful font dancing on textured gold paper.
This is an invitation to a palace banquet. There are many nobles invited, basically covering many noble figures in the upper class. If you want to enter the upper class in the royal city, this banquet is definitely a good opportunity.
Romon decided to prepare carefully. He ordered people to prepare a car outside. In the carriage, he came to the most famous and top-notch tailor shop on Jade Street. If this shop only looks at the store and not the signboard, it will give people the illusion that this is a noble villa. The construction is very elegant, noble and romantic.
Here, Romon set up several sets of clothes, which are specially used for high-end banquets, and are extremely expensive. The reason why he does not need to bring clothes from the territory is because only people here know the popularity of the royal city nowadays. When a person's appearance packaging meets strangers, it will greatly affect the level of impression scores.
Romon is not stingy in investing in this regard.
In fact, when wearing expensive clothes made of the most famous and expensive tailor in the royal city, Romon's aristocratic temperament was highlighted to the greatest extent, and he was completely different from the countryside.
Three days later, Romon rushed to the palace in a carriage to attend a banquet.
The address of the banquet was chosen on the first floor of the main palace, occupying the largest and most magnificent hall. He passed by several clips. After checking his identity and invitations, he walked into the hall smoothly.
Lu Xiupei and others rested in other places in the palace. This was Romon's first time attending a palace banquet. It can be said that he was a strange face at the banquet. Everyone was surprised at his outstanding appearance at the beginning, but after careful observation, they found that he was not the prominent noble he knew, so they all turned their attention and went to talk to others.
Chapter completed!
