Chapter 266: The Coming of the Green King (Part II)
"Welcome guests from afar to visit Shadu!~.."
"Long live His Majesty the King.."
On the hot desert, the laughter and laughter are in full swing, the scene is unusually grand, on the long block, the vast crowd of people converges into a long dragon, the intoxicating fragrance is demagogic, even Zhou Yihan, who has always seen many big scenes, is inevitably shocked by such a grand and unprecedented scene, riding on the camel pulled by a special person, and his eyes can't even be taken back..
"Look no further.. Beware of people treating you like a monster again.."
Beside him, there was Sha Jia who looked at him with a blank face, if you really want to talk about it, his situation is not much better than Zhou Yihan, but it may be because he is still distracted and urges Zhou Yihan to pay attention to his eyes, but he is more relaxed and relaxed
The crowd was beyond imagination, and His Majesty rode a camel steal as if he had just returned triumphantly, receiving the revered and loving gaze of the inhabitants of the city
It can be seen that he seems to enjoy this feeling of being admired and admired by thousands of people, at this moment, he even forgot about his hard work and waited for a long time to finally receive the VIP of the temple of the gods, only caring about himself in front of the limelight, playing prestige, fortunately he has a reasonable, bright-eyed daughter...
"Father... It's really rude to Qingjun, please don't take it to heart, my father is the king."
In place of her father, Her Royal Highness the princess has always accompanied Zhou Yihan and Sha Jia, and when she saw the king's style, even as a child, she inevitably felt a little ashamed
Zhou Yihan didn't care, he didn't care, he just smiled and replied: "Where.. Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't need to feel embarrassed, he has his own personal preferences, besides, your father can make so many people welcome him, which is his ability in itself, which shows that Lord Ling Zun has a good way of governing the country."
"Huh.. Qingjun has a good reputation under your crown, when it comes to governing the country, our sand is just a small land, how can we compare to the grandeur of your temple of gods."
..
With a few words, the princess smiled happily for a long time, the shame on her face suddenly disappeared, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a smile again, and at the same time, the relationship between the two sides was also brought a lot closer, and Her Royal Highness the princess was also more enthusiastic and took the initiative to talk to her
With beautiful people in your company, why not?
Along the way, Her Royal Highness the princess told them a lot of customs and anecdotes about the desert, from the capital gate to the palace hall is a long distance, but in the bizarre question stories she told, time passed very quickly, until they came to the outside of the palace, about to get off the camel into the palace, Zhou Yihan and Sha Jia still have a feeling of unfinished
"Whew~"
Turning over and getting off the camel, Zhou Yihan loosened his muscles and bones, and breathed a relaxed breath, in the desert, it is good to take a camel for a walk, but it is really tiring to always sit on a camel.
There is a round luxurious palace in front of him, which looks a little strange at first glance, but I don't know if I have seen too much in Shadu in the past two days, Zhou Yihan has also begun to get used to it, and knows how to appreciate this kind of exotic and different decorative buildings, looking at this majestic hall in front of him, how to look at it and feel pleasing to the eye
At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the king, Lu Xi'an, Sha Jia, and some powerful people in the royal family also got off the camel one after another, and came to invite him to sit in the palace
About to enter the palace, Her Royal Highness looked at the hat that Zhou Yihan and Sha Jia were still wearing on their heads, and said: "Your Majesty Qingjun, there is no such strong sunlight here, and with the hat, it will affect your line of sight."
Hearing this, Zhou Yihan subconsciously raised his hand to touch the hat, and he did feel that his gaze began to darken a little, but Sha Jia coughed loudly at this time, dispelling his desire to take the hat off
Zhou Yihan tightened his hands and said, "Forget it, my skin has been a little inflamed recently, and I can't shine in the sun."
"Oh.."
Her Royal Highness the princess was a little dumbfounded, and nodded her head as if she didn't understand, and the face of Sha Jia hidden under the hat on the side was already about to be unable to hold back her laughter, but fortunately, the king who knew the inside story came up to play the round, and everyone did not linger too much on this issue, and entered the hall with a swallow of dates, and each returned to the seat..
In the main hall, the wine banquet has already been arranged, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grapes and wine, the table of delicacies and fruits, no matter which city it is, the life of the royal family always reveals luxury
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
His Majesty respectfully invited him to add steps with Shajia, the decoration style in the hall at first glance, somewhat similar to the Shang capital, is also a circle in a circle, people with status can sit on the edge of the steps, those specific distinguished seats, His Majesty the King led the two of them to his own seat in the center, but now that seat has been changed slightly, from a horizontal long table, to two long tables diagonally
"Your Majesty, please take a seat.."
His Majesty the King stretched out his hand to one of the seats, respectfully inviting the two to take the seat, and as soon as the words came out, or without him having to say it, Zhou Yihan had already moved, and he did not go to sit in the guest seat specially set up for him by His Majesty the King, but crossed in front of the King and sat in the chairman's seat, and Sha Ga followed him all the time, and of course sat down beside him.
"Your Majesty, please be seated."
After sitting down, Zhou Yihan directly turned against the guest, although the face under the hat did not have an expression, but the action seemed to explain everything
His move unexpectedly attracted the disgust and attention of the nobles in the field, but thinking of his identity and the forces behind him, no one dared to rise up to succeed this hero, and the scene became very embarrassing for a while, but among them, there were two people's expressions that were abnormal
Prince Lu Xi'an sat in his own place on the steps, looking at the scene in front of him with great interest
The other person is Princess Jiujiu, her expression flashes with doubts and worries...
Could it be that His Majesty Qingjun is afraid that we will poison our food?
The father is king, he.
After a while, Princess Jiujiu's worries were obviously too much, because the king didn't show that he cared about this, and when he saw Zhou Yihan stretching his hand and inviting him to sit opposite, he went, without the slightest hesitation, and simply didn't look like him at all
After sitting down, he even immediately picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a glass of wine into the cup, and saluted the man who had just snatched his seat: "Your Majesty Qingjun, all the way to the journey, it is an honor for you to be able to descend on the sand alone, just a glass of wine to salute each other, I hope you don't have to refuse."
After saying that, he tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup, leaving not a drop left!
"Respect the .. of the Monarch"
And with the king's cup to lead the way, the nobles distributed in the hall also immediately lifted their wine glasses, saluted Zhou Yihan, and then drank it.
The scene began to become a little subtle, and Princess Jiujiu's worried heart also rose, this time, even Zhou Yihan couldn't figure out his pulse a little, but all the nobles present had toasted, and he couldn't help but drink
The corners of his mouth on one side were slightly raised, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and all of you for your kindness, Zhou. I'm ashamed."
Following the King's example, he raised and flipped the wine glass high, and it was empty, not a drop of wine fell, His Majesty the King was clear, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was relieved
He flipped the wine glass over and put it back on the table, the wine glass was empty, but no one saw that in the palm of his hand he had withdrawn, there was a crystal clear jade...
"Haha, Your Majesty Qingjun really has a good amount of wine, a glass was paid to you by my Shadu before, and now in my personal name, welcome to the Spirit Monarch Crown of the Temple of the Gods.."
..
After a glass of wine, everyone's conversation box was also opened, and they saw Zhou Yihan drink the wine he prepared for him without doubt, His Majesty the King was in high spirits, and when he poured the cup to the fullest, he wanted to pay respects again, Zhou Yihan prevaricated that he was not good at drinking, so the king was not easy to persuade again, after all, the two have different identities, and since they are long-distance travelers and live in a foreign land, it is natural that they will be cautious
Dare to have the guts to drink a glass of wine is already very face-saving...
In this way, the state banquet continued, accompanied by wine and delicacies, singing and dancing, and accompanied by hundreds of officials
This is not only a show of goodwill to the upwards, but also an opportunity to show the prosperity and wealth of their own country, no king will let the envoys from the big countries see that they eat chaff and vegetables, the border is depressed, and the people are not enough to eat and not warm clothes
His Majesty the King of Shadu is naturally the same, although the news of the Spirit Monarch of the Temple of the Gods sending Shadu was only obtained by him late last night, but he still tried his best to put the best side of Shadu on the bright side as much as possible, and let Zhou Yihan appreciate and observe
Although Shadu is a small capital standing in the desert, but occupies the main road of transportation, anyone who passes through the desert will definitely stay here, replenish supplies, and therefore, the trade of Shadu is very prosperous, plus they themselves are blonde and blue-eyed, graceful and delicate beauties prevail in the nation, many travelers will be attracted by the beauty of the alien customs here, stay here to marry a wife and have children, and spread out the leaves
The scope of the country's borders, the number of citizens, is rising every quarter, if they are allowed to develop freely, I am afraid that in a few decades, Shadu will also become a strong party...
