Chapter 213: The Palace Banquet (1)

banquet

According to the custom of the Northern Kingdom, all grand banquets are held at night.

Because after experiencing all kinds of fatigue during the day, the night is the best time to relax. People can't help but look for something entertaining to release themselves...

For example, this night feast...

Every year, such court feasts, large and small, were mainly used for celebrations and parliaments. Like some of the big modern chambers of commerce...

If you think that there are only royal families and eunuchs, you are very wrong...

In Beichen, the royal family also attaches equal importance to those businessmen who can affect the entire economy. Usually, such a night banquet will receive an invitation and send it to the imperial gate. And the businessmen who can post invitations are also proud to be invited to the palace banquet. This also means that they are highly valued and favored by His Majesty...

In ancient times, the merchants relied on the work of the eunuchs. Because of the backwardness of many things, those procedures are more complicated than modern ones, and it takes more than half a year to wait for one to be handled. But if you get a word from Your Majesty, it will be like opening a plug-in on the trade route. All the official documents for customs clearance save a lot of trouble...

For businessmen, time is money...

Merchants and officials are inextricably linked...

And for the royal family, it is also to encourage the development of these businessmen, anyway, no matter how much money there is, His Majesty can find a reason to take it back with a word, this is the benefit of the imperial order, not more than the law, pay attention to many things...

And the invitation to enter the night banquet, the royal family's is golden, the official eunuch's is purple, and the Shanghao's is red...

At this time, the largest banquet garden in the palace...

The lights are dim, a piece of light, the bustling low tables and chairs and carpets are lined up with each other, the wine and tea sets are neatly placed, and the maids in the pink palace are shuttling back and forth...

The banquet hadn't even begun, but it was bustling...

Tonight's dinner party is mainly to celebrate the achievements of the God of War, and everyone has already arrived early. In addition to wanting to see the demeanor of the God of War with the greatest interest, they also want to get to know some powerful people in this night banquet to seek rare opportunities...

Of course, it would be better if you could get to know the God of War...

So, except for the slightly strange faces of some official eunuchs. The rich businessmen were in a very high mood...

"I don't know what this god of war looks like?"

"I heard that the shoulders are big and the waist is round, and the dragon and tiger are very majestic..."

"But I think I heard that the one was wrong?" One of the wealthy businessmen understood.

"Haha, if it's the God of War, it must be heroic, heavenly and manly..."

The rich circle is happy...

And only the eunuchs had embarrassed expressions, if they knew, tonight's protagonist might not be able to come at all? I don't know if you will make a feeling?

What's even scarier is... It's Your Majesty...

If Your Majesty knew...

What wrath would that be?

God of War, you're really "naughty"! I didn't want to come to this bounty meeting, but preferred to stay in that prison...

Among the people who were in different moods on both sides, there was one person who had been sitting in the corner with a white face.

That was Zhou Shilang, he didn't dare to come to this night's banquet at all. However, there may be hope for coming, but if you don't come, there will be absolutely no hope at all...

Of course, he still has hope, if he pleads in front of His Majesty, will there still be a chance?

Except for the sympathetic eyes of the eunuchs, the others did not know about his condition. On the contrary, some businessmen came over with a smile and a toast to him...

"Hehe, Lord Zhou, why are you sitting here alone?"
