Chapter Seventy-Eight: Turmoil in the Palace
On April 4, due to the loss of Liu Feifei and his party, the unpiloted merchant ship sailed down the river overnight and arrived at a city port called Fulton.
The passengers had no intention of continuing on the merchant ship, which had died so much, and they all took their belongings from the captain's quarters, and then parted ways in Fulton, some returning home and others continuing their journey.
Shi Qing didn't know what to do with the ship.
To be honest, he still liked the ship, but he had little experience in piloting it.
"What's so hard about this, isn't there a lot of cargo in the hold? Cheaper, sell it all to the government, and use that money to recruit experienced sailors. ”
"Master, wouldn't it be shameless for us to do this?"
"Fool, we don't sell it, and it's in vain to put all this salt and iron here."
"It's worthy of being a master, and his face is thick."
Shi Qing let out a heartfelt sigh, and then, all the goods in the cabin were thrown to the Fullerton government, and he took the money to recruit forty innocent sailors to continue the journey to Portugal.
Three days later, at dusk, the ship named Sonny sailed downwind, rippling in circles on the river, and finally docked at the port of Portugal.
Shi Qing, who was sitting on the lion's head, jumped up, volleyed and landed steadily on the trestle.
He didn't go.
At this moment, there were majestic guards wearing gold armor and holding Fang Tian's halberd standing on the left and right sides of the trestle, and the red carpet was spread all the way.
A crowd of richly dressed people crowded into the middle of the road, led by an old man wearing a golden crown.
That old man was the king of Portugal.
The lord of a country went out to greet him, naturally not for a hairy boy like Shi Qing, but because of Xi Ya.
Don't look at her giggling in front of Shi Qing, she seems to have no majestic appearance, she still has a well-known name outside.
Fire Feather Phoenix!
When he heard this title for the first time, Shi Qing couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, and he always felt that this title had been used up.
It's not as imposing as the Fire Feather Emperor.
Then, he was cleaned up.
Hanging upside down under the lion's head for three hours, his head was almost filled with blood, and he still hasn't come back to his senses.
If it weren't for his own face, Xiya planned to hang him for four hours, but there was no way, the ship could already see the Portuguese port.
She could only let go of Shi Qing.
This is also the reason why Shi Qing will stay in the bow of the ship.
The boat stopped steadily, the gangway on the right side was unfolded, and Xiya did not wear any gorgeous jewelry, just wearing a golden and red skirt, she had already revealed a charming temperament.
She was expressionless, stepping down the gangway, her feet just standing on the trestle.
The old King of Portugal strode over, stretched out his right hand, grabbed her right hand lightly, lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand, and said respectfully: "I haven't seen you for a long time, your demeanor is still the same, Ms. Xiya." ”
Xi Ya smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I am also very happy to see that you are so healthy, you must not get drunk tonight." ”
Many Taoist masters have traveled the world during that time, and during that time, they have always met all kinds of people, including those kings.
Xiya and the King of Portugal have a little friendship.
Don't underestimate this friendship, there are not many people in the world who can have such a little friendship with Xiya.
Not everyone can enjoy her tolerance and favor like Shi Qing.
The King of Portugal had a smile on his face, and his waist straightened a little and said, "The wine of Portugal never disappoints the guests, and I have prepared the banquet." ”
"This little friend should be Shi Qing, he is really a talent."
As soon as he heard that the topic turned to himself, Shi Qing stepped forward and said very politely: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
Besides, he doesn't have any other lines.
To be precise, he is too lazy to waste.
The King of Portugal could see that he had no desire to talk and did not care, and that the young man could talk to an old man and still have fun, and that was the problem.
The group rushed back to the palace.
On the way, Xiya and the King of Portugal took a car together, chatting about the past, sharing some information, etc., and the atmosphere was harmonious.
And Shi Qing sat in the back car, and the people who rode with him were all princesses or princes.
In terms of appearance, every prince is more handsome than him!
However, the attitude of the princes was very kind, and the good words were endless, and the princesses also secretly sent Qiu Bo.
Overall, Shi Qing was still very happy to listen.
Of course, happy is happy, he won't be stupid and take it seriously.
Like these sycophants, you can listen to it for a while, and really go to the heart, that is the rhythm that is to be finished.
When he arrived at the palace, Shi Qing was really shocked.
According to his thoughts, Portugal is a small country, and the royal palace may not be as big as the Fengyang Marquis's Mansion.
But with his own eyes, he understood that the size of the royal palace could not depend on the country, but on the king's preferences.
This palace of the Portuguese kings actually covers all three mountains!!
The scenery is exquisite, and any photo can be used as a mobile phone wallpaper.
Especially when it is almost night, the palace lanterns of all sizes hang all over the palace and outside like stars.
Listening to the introduction of the second prince, the palace lamp was taken out at night every day and taken back during the day.
Shi Qing was deeply sympathetic to the subordinates of the palace, and it was tiring enough just to change the lights every day.
The main hall of the palace is naturally in the center, and the roof is a semicircle of gold dust, supported by marble columns, and the interior is brightly lit.
In the middle is an open space surrounded by rectangular tables covered with white cloth, and on the far left there is a group of musicians on standby.
Shi Qing's eyes swept over the food, and he secretly swallowed his saliva, so hungry.
But he didn't want to act too anxious.
Elegance, politeness, these are things to show in front of people, especially in front of people who don't have much to do with them.
If Zhao Xiang and Wu Si were by his side, he would have rushed over and feasted on it, instead of smelling the fragrance and listening to the prince's introduction.
"This dish is our Portuguese specialty, crab meat eel roll, the main ingredient is the most ferocious king crab in the Emerald River, eight-tailed fin eel, of which the eel only takes the abdomen, chops the two, accompanied by olive oil, herbs, onions, fried a little in the pot, and then stir-fried, and finally out of the pot, it is the most characteristic famous dish in Portugal."
Shi Qing swallowed his saliva again, and scolded the prince and King Rory in his heart.
He's not a foodie, he's not interested in hearing how food is cooked, he just wants to eat food!!
Fortunately, the second prince did not continue to introduce them one by one, and took two glasses of wine from the plate of the servant who passed by.
"Drink a glass of aperitizing fruit wine before you eat, so you will feel that the dish will taste more delicious."
Shi Qing chuckled, "I like this custom. ”
After that, he took the white jade wine glass and took a sip gently, it was not special when he first tasted it, only in the lower abdomen of the wine, a sweet and delicious taste slowly spread between his lips.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed it deeply, only then opened his eyes and sighed, "Good wine." ”
The second prince smiled, and before he could speak, the eldest prince interjected: "Since Brother Shi likes it, when you come back, I will give you dozens of altars." ”
Shi Qing glanced at him thoughtfully, didn't immediately agree, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it then." ”
