Chapter 190 [Entering the Palace](2/2)
"……What?!"
Chen Daolin was shocked!
"All, all, your family's? How is it possible?"
Frey said lightly: "Originally two years ago. If my son-in-law wanted to stay in another inn, he could find it. But in the past two years, we have bought all other inns in our business in the imperial capital one after another. Even the inns under the Tulip Family have been sold out by us. Now all the inns in the imperial capital are branded by Liszt. There is no other house."
“…”
Chen Daolin was convinced!
It's cruel enough!
The top rich are rich!!
He said viciously: "Then... I'll rent a house from a private family! I don't believe it, can't you rent a house you live in if you have money?"
"Lease a house is a way." Frey sighed, then bowed to Chen Daolin.
"Huh? What did you do to me?"
"Please acknowledge it."
"Understanding?" Chen Daolin was puzzled.
"Yes, please forgive me. Because if you want to rent a house, then I have to do something that will make you unhappy... These are all the instructions given by the master." Frey sighed: "The original words that the master told me before leaving were: Let Mr. Darling live well in our house and serve you delicious food and drinks. Well, that's it. If you run out to live in a house that rents, then wouldn't it be that I violated the master's instructions to me? So..."
“So what…”
"So, no matter where you go to the imperial capital, I just want to buy that house." Frey sighed: "As long as you buy it, it will still be considered a property to live in your home."
"………………” Chen Daolin was angry: "There are so many houses in the imperial capital, can you buy them any place I live in?"
Frey smiled.
Then he smiled and said something that made Chen Daolin speechless.
"Master, you probably don't know much about it... In our Liszt family, other things may not be possible, but money is never short of money."
"I... I don't understand why I don't have money to buy a house!" Chen Daolin was angry: "I bought a house myself and lived in it myself, right?"
Frey replied with a smile: "Then I have to buy the house around your residence, and then arrange for the servants to live in it, and serve you at any time."
……All right!!
It's amazing to have money!!
Chen Daolin is completely out of temper.
Because...the facts are right in front of you.
It’s really amazing to have money!
Oh shit!
...
Chen Daolin understood that as long as he stayed in the imperial capital, he might not be able to get rid of the Liszt family.
No, even if I leave the imperial capital, the Liszt family will probably send someone to keep a close eye on me!
Everyone has a big business and business is spread throughout the Roland Continent. Even if you want to escape, you will be targeted by the other party unless you escape to an uninhabited place and hide your identity in the future!
Chen Daolin was extremely sad and angry.
Finally, he stomped his feet hard: "You are ruthless!"
He rushed into the house with a big strode, and finally couldn't suppress his anger in his heart. He shouted viciously: "I won't leave! I'll eat poor food and drink poor food! Listen, I'll eat abalone and sea urchin rice at noon! I'll use nine-head abalone to grind into sauce, then mix the rice and bake it on low heat! From today on, the water I drink must be dew collected in the morning!! I'll eat osmanthus cake for afternoon refreshments! Osmanthus nectar must be made from the first buds of August! The flour of the pastry must be ground with malt from this autumn! These things are not as good as the taste is a bit bad!"
Chen Daolin made things difficult for him when he lost his temper, but Frey, who was standing in the yard, didn't even frown when he heard this. The old housekeeper actually breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and bowed to the direction in the room:
"Affect the order."
...
Originally, during the day, Chen Daolin planned to go out to the Magic Union, but now he was no longer in the mood and simply locked himself in the house and sulked. As he was angry, he simply sat down to practice magic and cultivated his energy.
In the evening, the dinner was indeed prepared according to Chen Daolin's requirements.
The Liszt family is indeed rich and powerful, and the things Chen Daolin asked for have never been distorted at all!
This time, Chen Daolin seemed to be very petty.
He had a vicious meal, locked himself in the room to practice magic at night, and also added some of the reserves consumed in his magic storage ring.
Another day passed. The next morning, Chen Daolin calmed down a lot. After he got up, he washed up and changed into a magician's robe under Xia Xia's service, and prepared to go out after changing into a magician's robe.
No matter what, I have to go to the headquarters of the Magic Union no matter what, so this matter is always difficult to delay. If I want to survive in this Roland Empire, the identity of a magician is still very useful. In fact, my "magic" can only be regarded as a copycat now, and there is no official recognition at all. Even the magic badges were given to me by Du Weiwei.
But just when Chen Daolin adjusted his mood and was about to go out, someone came to visit him again.
The old butler Frey personally accompanied a man in a gray robe. Frey looked very polite and polite.
"Master." Frey was afraid that Chen Daolin's second-hand man would say something incomplete, so he quickly spoke as soon as he entered the yard: "This is the palace envoy from the palace and brought His Majesty the order. His Majesty summoned to the palace to meet..."
As he said that, Frey glanced at the palace envoy beside him.
This man seemed to be quite young last year. He came out of the palace. Although he was still polite, there was a hint of reserve and pride between his eyebrows. He looked at Chen Daolin and bowed, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty Daling Chen, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the palace to meet. You see, if it is convenient, please follow me, right?"
Although it seemed like he was asking very politely, his tone clearly gave people no choice.
Chen Daolin was stunned.
That handsome emperor wants to see me?
Chen Daolin was not too surprised. After all, he encountered such a big deal as the emperor's assassination the day before yesterday, and even helped him a lot. No matter what, this is a great achievement of saving the Lord, right?
The emperor only encouraged and praised him a few words at that time, but he still felt uncomfortable.
But now it seems that the emperor actually wants to see him. Is he going to receive the reward?
No matter what, the ground he was standing on was the Roland Empire. The highest supreme of the empire wanted to see him, and Chen Daolin had no room for rejection. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there with you now."
Frey stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief.
After two days of getting along, the old housekeeper has gradually understood Chen Daolin's temper. This young master is not bad, but sometimes he will have some bad tempers. For example, the fighting words he said to himself yesterday...
Fortunately, I didn't mess around in front of the palace envoys and never lost my dignity.
Frey was satisfied, so he immediately took out a golden ticket from his sleeve, turned around and walked to the palace envoy, and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hard work, even if you invite you to have tea."
The palace envoy smiled lightly, took it with great skill and put it into his sleeves, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Frey then whispered: "Our Master Darling has never entered the palace. I would like to ask you to give me some rules and etiquette."
The messenger smiled: "Don't worry, we naturally don't dare to neglect the nobles of the Liszt family."
He paused, probably because the gold ticket had a huge effect. The palace envoy looked back and saw that there was no one outside the yard, and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty made a contribution the day before yesterday. His Majesty mentioned it in person in the past two days. It must be a good thing to invite him to see him today. I am afraid that if His Majesty is in a good mood, he might be able to get a title. As for other gold and silver wealth, there is no shortage of the noble mansion."
While the two of them were talking, Chen Daolin had already gone in and made some preparations to come out.
Although he was going to the palace, he would not encounter any danger. However, Chen Daolin thought that this kind of thing was unsure. There were people who assassinations on the street the day before yesterday. He had experienced a lot and developed the best habit of preparation. Even if he went to the palace to meet the emperor, he brought his magic bag with him and brought all the emergency equipment on his body. He did not forget to wear a few magic reserve rings on his fingers.
When you come out and follow the rules, you will not ride your own carriage when you come out of the palace to meet the emperor. Instead, you will ride the carriage sent from the palace. This is also to prevent any dangerous things.
On the way, the palace envoy was riding in the same carriage as Chen Daolin, with Imperial Guardians following him in front and behind.
This is also because although Chen Daolin was summoned, he had no identity after all. Although he was a magician, he was still a white person after all. If he changed to a noble noble lord, it would be very different, and the palace envoy would not be qualified to take the same car with him.
However, in the car, the court envoy was very close to Chen Daolin. Perhaps the amount of the gold ticket of Frese was enough to be "sincere". The court envoy was very professional and had enough money, so he would have more effort.
Along the way, he carefully explained some of the etiquette and taboos Chen Daolin had after entering the palace.
Chen Daolin is a smart man. After listening to it, he remembered it. After chatting for a few words, the palace envoy smiled and said, "You have made great contributions the day ago. Your Majesty has mentioned you more than once in the past two days. I think you will definitely get your Majesty's reward today... Speaking of which, I am serving Your Majesty, and I have never seen anyone you value so much in the past two years. Mr. Daling, you are young... Although you are a magician, you naturally don't care about money and official positions, but Your Majesty's appreciation is still..."
After hearing this, Chen Daolin responded politely, and felt a little moved, and said carefully: "I don't know what the assassination the day before yesterday is now..."
As soon as this topic was mentioned, the palace envoy's expression suddenly tightened and frowned, "I heard that the public security office is still investigating, the imperial capital has been martial law for two days, and the whole city has been in full force, but there is no result. Alas... These traitors are really careless! Some people, such a wise and kind monarch, are holding back their minds to harm him. It is really a great crime! The goddess will definitely bring disaster and punish these thieves again!"
Chen Daolin's heart moved.
The last few words of the palace envoy sounded from the heart and the tone was sincere.
It seems... that handsome emperor, not to mention anything else, is so popular among the people around him in his own palace.
