For something as particular about food, the Roman aristocracy naturally consulted themselves as the most picky diners in the world at that time. Of course, for the banquet of Augustus, these are all combined into one culmination, and the waiter respectfully opens the door, and the magnificence of the room is in full view.

The spacious hall was filled with invited Roman magnates, who according to tradition would eat on the couches, arranged in a rectangular shape, and on the inside, directly opposite the door, were placed four couches, the mattresses on which were dyed purple, and Luca knew that it was intended for their purple room. Then there were two rows of the same couches, except that the color was no longer purple, but red and other colors, probably entirely according to the nobility's own preferences, since people who were not members of the royal family were naturally not eligible to use purple.

They stood at the back of the couch with a small but richly decorated table with a variety of baked food and fruits, and a silver wine glass for wine. At the side of each couch was a slave girl dressed in linen, carrying a silver flask, ready to pour wine for the nobles.

"No formality, my nephew!" Valentinian is used to screaming, and there is nothing here when Valentinian comes again, but a nephew is called more close. But it made Lu Jia feel uncomfortable, and he even began to regret giving this little bastard a big face, suffer a loss, bear it! Luga thought so, and had to smile in response.

Valentinian led Luga past the nobles, who from time to time learned from Valentinian to nod their heads to the nobles around him. This was followed by Gala. Placitia and Licchinia stood side by side, and the nobles naturally did not dare to slack off on the regent, and bowed again and again to show their respect for Platicia.

Then Valentinian slammed down on the couch, making the couch creak.

"Get on the seat, get on the table!" Valentinian stretched out his hand to the nobles and said, "I'm too hungry to walk, hurry up, let's get moving!" ”

Augustus had already spoken, and the nobles and Luga naturally did not dare to slack off, everyone lay down in their places, and the maids hurriedly poured the wine, because they knew that Augustus was about to raise his glass, and among the nobles present, only Lickinia was still standing.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable." Licchia said to Valentinian, "Then I will not attend today's feast, so as not to make a fool of myself in front of everyone." ”

"Oh, Liekinia, my wife!" Valentinian lay on the couch and begged Licina: "Look at so many distinguished guests, and your brother Luga, didn't you just say that you were very excited to see your brother, why don't you want to accompany your brother with me at this time, the great hero of the empire!" ”

"Valentinian!" Seeing that Lickinia was a little dissatisfied on her face, but because she didn't dare to attack in front of everyone and could only stand in place in embarrassment, Plasitia stopped Valentinian and said to him: "Since Licinia is uncomfortable, you should understand her current discomfort and agree to her retreat!" ”

"But Mother!" Valentinian was puzzled and said, "This banquet is really important! My nephew Luga has come all the way to come, and if Likinia doesn't come with him, it means that our Purple Room doesn't give my nephew face! ”

"That's not going to work either!" As soon as Valentinian's words were spoken, Placitia immediately refused, and the banquet immediately reached an impasse.

"Actually, nothing, really." Faced with such a road, Luga naturally needed to stand up, and he persuaded: "Caesar, Augusta! If Li Ji, well, my sister is really a little uncomfortable, then naturally I need to be considerate, after all, I and my army will have to rest here for the next period of time, and then there will be time to get together with my sister. Are you saying I'm right? Leekinia. With that, Luga looked back at Licina, who at first looked a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure, nodded, and withdrew from the banquet with Platitia's acquiescence.

"What an ignorant woman!" Valentinian scolded secretly, then looked at Luga with a smile on his face and said, "I'm sorry, this woman, yes, your sister, she was never like this before, you contacted her earlier than me, you should be able to understand what I mean, I'm right, my nephew." ”

Luga was very helpless, and he could only nod to Valentinian at the moment, he couldn't say anything to Likinia, after all, she was now Valentinian's woman.

"Okay, all of you!" Young Augustus immediately forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and he raised his wine glass, and the nobles in front of him immediately responded by raising their wine glasses.

"For the sake of our honored guest Luga, and the great exploits behind him, we toast him!" Valentinian beckoned, and the nobles raised their glasses towards Luga, who also looked down and found his glass, which had already been filled with wine by the maid. He hurriedly picked it up, followed the rhythm of the nobles, and drank the wine from his glass.

Then it was time to eat, and in the face of the delicacies in front of him, no one had enough resistance to control himself from saliva, and Valentinian was the first to stand it. I saw him put down the wine glass and grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, in order to enhance the taste, he did not forget to stuff two wild fruits into his mouth. The nobles started one after another, they bowed their heads and enjoyed the delicious food on the table in front of them, although the food looked much more elegant, but naturally they could not resist the craving for food in their stomachs.

"By the way, do you want to serve with me? My nephew! ”

Luga picked up a piece of lamb chops and a piece of cake, and ate it unhurriedly with a bite of meat and cake, who would have thought that such a sudden sentence from Valentinian next to him would make Luga stunned. Luga came back to his senses and quickly turned his head to look at Valentinian, who was met by Valentinian's eyes that were extremely sincere.

"Uh, my Caesar," I didn't expect Valentinian to be so direct and decisive, even Luga secretly wondered in his heart if this guy had taken the wrong medicine, didn't he think about the feelings of the powerful people around him, and his mother, didn't he need to think about it? He only said slowly, "I didn't understand what you meant!" ”

"Hey!" Valentinian smiled, then turned to talk to his mother, Gara. Plasettia said: "Mother, since Luga has come here, and he is so loyal, if we don't give him a corresponding position, we can't treat him like this for contributing to the empire from afar!" ”

"Oh yes, yes yes! My baby! "Gala. Plasettia nodded repeatedly, and finally this time, Valentinian's mother reached an agreement with him.
