Chapter 307: The finale appeared
Compared with the iron walls of the Qingxia Empire, the layout of the palace of the Weixi Empire is undoubtedly much more atmospheric and luxurious, which is also the confidence and confidence of the old empire.
Today's charity dinner, nominally to raise funds for the refugees of the habitable planets affected by the war and settle down, is actually just a high-sounding reason for the nobles and bigwigs to get together to eat, drink and have fun.
As for whose pockets the money raised ended up in, it is not enough for outsiders to say.
The Westin Banquet Hall, located on the right side of the royal garden, has been built for more than 700 years, and can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of an empire.
The charity dinner where the powerful gathered was arranged to be held here.
Walking through the lush royal gardens, you will suddenly see a palace with elegance and grandeur.
The sunset in the distance, with the last trace of afterglow, sprinkled on the golden eaves of the temple, glowed with an unusually gorgeous brilliance.
The four tall white jade pillars that stand at the four corners of the palace support the structure of the entire banquet hall.
On the steps outside the gate, a long red carpet has already been laid out, which stretches to two hundred meters away.
Royal Guards, dressed in courtesy uniforms, lined up on both sides of the red carpet with serious faces.
Those who are qualified to enter this banquet hall today can be said to be the top figures of the Weixi Empire, so they naturally have to use the highest standard reception procedures.
At the door, it was not a beautiful girl who was in charge of welcoming guests, but two well-dressed middle-aged men, both of whom were selected from among the housekeepers under the big shots.
On such an important occasion as today, the identity of the guests must be carefully screened, and some people who are not of sufficient grade must not be mixed into the banquet and spoil the interest of the magnates, so it is safer to let the experienced housekeeper personally check it.
As night fell, the charity dinner finally kicked off.
Nobles of all stripes, carrying their female companions, stepped out of the luxuriously shaped antique cars, stepped on the red carpet and stepped up the steps, and were allowed to enter the banquet hall after the welcome butler took out a scanner to confirm that the electronic invitations were correct.
It is said that in the middle of tonight's banquet, His Majesty the Emperor is very likely to be there in person, so even if the censorship is stricter, these magnates do not dare to have any opinions.
The three major imperial families of the Weixi Empire, it is the Gregory family that now sits in the village, and the reigning emperor His Majesty has always been known for his iron fist, and after several years of development, there have been faint signs of suppressing the other two royal families.
His Majesty the Emperor's cousin, Prince Gregory, has been gaining more and more authority in the military since the end of the Special Elite Invitational Tournament in the Southwest Region held in the Chuck Empire last year, and he personally controls the elite warrior training camp, and according to rumors, the development of the latest all-round mecha seems to be inextricably linked with His Royal Highness the Prince, so that his prestige in the army is so high that it can be said that it has reached its peak.
It was only that the entrance ceremony had been going on for more than half an hour, and instead of Prince Gregory, Prince Gregory had appeared in the luxury convoy, but his two sons, Tolsy and Adams, had already appeared first.
In fact, the order of admission to the dinner is also very meaningful.
Pay attention to the rules from low to high, from humble to supreme, the first to enter are those junior and powerful children, the more powerful the big man, the more he has to appear in the back, so as to show the weight of identity.
At today's charity dinner, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Gregory is naturally the rightful finale.
It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening.
An extended version of the bulletproof sedan slowly approached from the side of the royal garden.
Seeing the eye-catching golden cross sign in front of the vehicle, the two welcome butlers immediately kicked a few steps down the steps, came to the bridge car, and opened the door with their own hands.
A middle-aged man with a handsome face and a tall figure walked out.
A majestic aura cultivated in a high position for a long time is undoubtedly revealed.
The two butlers hurriedly pressed their hands on their chests and bowed respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Hmm. ”
Prince Gregory just nodded faintly, and without squinting, he walked straight up the steps and into the banquet hall.
The two middle-aged butlers walked behind him with their heads bowed, and returned to the welcome desk, without any intention of calling Prince Gregory to take out the invitation card for scanning and verification.
There are thousands of high-level magnates in the Weixi Empire, of course, not everyone remembers the face, but only this Royal Highness the Prince is unknown to everyone.
"Alright, we can withdraw too. ”
The finale has arrived, which means that the butlers' welcome work is officially over, but fortunately, there are no mistakes, and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as the two of them were about to withdraw from the welcome desk, there was a sudden roar of engines not far away, and a most ordinary flying car broke in and stopped at the door of the steps.
A bald little fat man jumped out of the car in a hurry, waved the invitation in his hand, and shouted, "Wait a minute, there are still us!"
The faces of the two butlers suddenly became extremely ugly.
Which family is this bald guy a junior in?
I don't know what to do, I dare to come down later than His Royal Highness, is this deliberately slapping the royal family in the face?
In fact, Zhang Tianjiu really didn't mean to come so late, purely because Amy's crazy girl had to wait in the laboratory for a set of test data to come out before leaving, which delayed a lot of time.
Zhang Tianjiu just jumped out of the car, and soon two more shadows came out of the car, with stunning appearances, each with its own merits, it was Amy and Sandrina.
When the three of them got closer, one of them, the butler named Warren, was stunned.
He was a member of the Victor family, and immediately came out of this beautiful doctor who was already famous in the capital of Vicsi, although he was from a side lineage.
After the Vesy Empire made the genetic engineering project public, Amy was appointed as the chief researcher of the Genetic Research Center, a position such a high-profile that it is difficult to think of without being famous.
Although Sandrina is not familiar to everyone, judging from her facial features and temperament, it is obvious that she also has a kind of elegance unique to the aristocratic class, and her status must not be low.
As for the bald guy who yelled, after Warren saw his appearance clearly, he subconsciously took him as the driver of two aristocratic beauties.
Who made Zhang Jiuye have the face of a Changnan tribe, and he looked nondescript when he wore a suit.
When he saw Zhang Tianjiu walking between the two beauties with a grin, and when he was also climbing the stairs, Warren's housekeeper's brows immediately wrinkled slightly.
Miss Amy wasn't planning to bring this guy into the ballroom, right?
This young lady of the royal family, as rumored, in addition to being very good at genetic scientific research, does not understand human feelings at all and acts willfully.
In Warren's view, hiring a fourth-class untouchable as a driver is already an act of losing his status, let alone taking him to a charity dinner with a large number of high-level leaders, which would be a public outrage.
What's more, they only entered after Prince Gregory, if this was seen by His Royal Highness, under the thunder and anger, not only Amy would suffer, but I am afraid that the entire Victor family would have to be implicated.
Warren had been with the Victor family for more than thirty years, and considered himself loyal, and his mind was already on the table on how to dissuade Miss Amy's crazy actions.
Although it was a bit rude to do so, in order to protect the interests of the family, he couldn't care so much.
After receiving the electronic invitation from Amy and Sandelina, Warren scanned it correctly and handed it back to them, then bowed slightly to Amy, raised his hand to Zhang Tianjiu, looked at her with a cautious expression and said, "Miss Amy, do you want to bring this person into the dinner party?"
"Take him?"
Amy rolled her eyes: "Why did he want me to bring it." ”
According to the regulations, each dignitary attending the dinner can bring a subordinate who is not eligible for an invitation, which is considered a disguised promotion and reward.
After all, on such a grand occasion, if you are lucky enough, if you climb up to a big person, maybe one day you will soar.
In private, there are even many officials who are anxious to climb up, lining up with a lot of white flowers and silver to find the young nobles who have received invitations, just to use their identities to blend into the banquet hall and get a chance to be favored by the bigwigs.
In fact, Amy's meaning was that Zhang Tianjiu was one of the protagonists, and there was no need for anyone to take it, but Warren's housekeeper obviously misunderstood her words, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
As long as you don't bring this bald guy in, even if the Victor family offends His Royal Highness in the order of appearance tonight, everything can still be redeemed.
Warren's careful thinking, of course, it is impossible to hide from Zhang Jiuye's eyes, for this kind of guy who has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, he is too lazy to talk nonsense, he directly raised his hand, slapped an invitation on the face of the middle-aged housekeeper, and said with a smile: "Brother can go in by himself." ”
"You ......"
Caught off guard by a black thing hitting his cheek, there was a hot pain, Warren immediately became furious, raised his fist and was about to make a move, but was pulled by the sleeve of another butler from the Teucer family next to him, and whispered: "This guy has an invitation." ”
Invitations?
Warren was stunned.
When I looked at this hair, I found that what I slapped on my face just now was really an invitation.
What the hell!
What did the royal family think, sending an invitation to a guy from a fourth caste?
With a suspicious look on his face, Warren picked up the electronic invitation and placed it on the welcome desk, scanning it with a scanner.
"Drop!"
With a soft sound, Zhang Tianjiu's profile information appeared on the holographic screen.
