On the night of the celebration banquet, horse-drawn carriages came from the main gate of the palace. The trumpet-playing musicians and the roll-call ceremonies barely stopped.

"Commander of the Northern Town Garrison, Generalissimo Lodiwen has arrived!"

"Master Leonard, the Elder of the Imperial Alchemist Guild, has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Evans Duchamp and his son Jerami Duchamp have arrived!"

"Duchess Marcelles has arrived!"

"Duke Kerry Parker of Kamui has arrived with his son!"

............

......

Important figures in the imperial officialdom and aristocratic circles arrived one after another, and the personnel were mixed but distinct.

The aristocrats wore gorgeous dresses, while the people in the military department were all dressed without armor, and extravagance and masculinity were intertwined to create a bizarre appearance.

At the same time, at the entrance and exit of the back door of the palace, Xiao Yi led his team into the back passage of the palace in a low-key manner, and came out to pick up the palace's housekeeper Louyd, after all, he was invited by His Majesty the King, and he was allowed to enter after a little exchange, and the guards checked the utensils that Foster carried with them very responsibly, but if they knew that Xiao Yi, who was like a junior apprentice, was a high-level alchemist, they would never do it, because for the magic profession that can use space items, you can't use the general security check to eliminate its danger, or the high-level magic profession itself is the most powerful weapon。

Because he had been explained in advance, the chief steward Lloyd was very polite to Xiao Yi, of course, he didn't know that Xiao Yi was actually one of the absolute protagonists of this celebration banquet, but when Xiao Yi was invited to the front hall by the head of the guard Ronnie with a cordial attitude, even a fool could detect the fact that the eldest child in front of him was a close minister of the Son of Heaven through the look of this granite-like man who was very different from usual at the moment.

And after bringing Foster and his party into the palace kitchen, Lloyd's attitude became lukewarm, which was a change after casually asking the leader of the team about the rank of Chef Foster, in fact, this change cannot be said to completely show that he is a powerful person, because as the boss who controls the palace kitchen, the level of the craftsman is really not enough.

Before Vincent just mentioned a mouthful of 'happy life' The meal has a good reputation, so he took advantage of the banquet to invite him to show his hands, according to his original idea, His Majesty was just a whim, but he didn't expect to really put it into action, and even if he saw that the owner of this restaurant just now was still the king's guest, he didn't take a look at the team in the back kitchen, but felt that today's 'farce' was likely to be the result of Xiao Yi playing right and wrong in front of His Majesty.

That's right, in his heart, he decided that inviting someone from outside to take charge of today's kitchen was an out-and-out 'farce'! Because aside from the chef's rank just now, he didn't say that he was worried that as the housekeeper, he might have to eat and hang up when the other party messed up the dishes of this banquet.

Purely out of public considerations, he didn't want to temporarily let outsiders enter the back kitchen of the palace to operate, because this level of banquet cooking is not just as simple as cooking, just like the nominal celebration banquet is not just about celebrating.

As the head of internal affairs, it can be said that he is the absolute power in the palace, he and the chief of the guard, Ronnie, are in charge of almost everything in the palace, although they do not have the right and functions to directly participate in the affairs of the state, but from the prime minister of the cabinet to the officials of the territory, no one will be willing to offend them easily.

Because as the close ministers of the Son of Heaven can serve at the right and left of His Majesty the King at any time, who can predict how much their energy can be exerted, and on the other hand, the honor and disgrace and net worth of the two of them are all related to the contemporary monarch, if it is true to Vincent, it will not be able to bypass these two.

As the saying goes, "I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, and I can't make poems and can chant them", so even if Lloyd is not from a political noble family, he has been managing the affairs of the palace all the year round, so that he can have access to a lot of content that is extremely secret to ordinary people, and he has naturally developed a high political literacy and sensitivity by following the king for a long time.

Just like this celebration banquet, it was just another occasion when representatives of various forces gathered together to make false accusations, including the military department and the Executive Yuan, the cabinet and the nobles, and the princes and lords; those who were opposing each other on the surface, who stood in line in secret, and who occasionally ate inside and outside; and the contradictions and opponents that had always existed were almost innumerable, and the relations were complicated.

Every time there is a celebration party, these characters with different ghosts get together, if the scene is well controlled, it can still maintain the style of Piri Yangqiu, if one is not careful, it is not uncommon for intrigue to rise to a point of swords.

The palace is the king's house, and he is the steward of the royal mansion, and what butler likes to make his master exhausted and busy! But his master is special, and since he meditates in that position where thousands of people are concerned, he is destined to have no peace in life, because he is responsible for the whole country and thousands of people.

But even so, Lloyd was willing to do everything in his power to try to share his monarch's worries, even if it was enough to bring a moment of peace and a smile to Vincent's face.

Therefore, he is absolutely unwilling to let this performative banquet initiated by Vincent make any mistakes, even if it is very hypocritical, and even if it is extravagant and glorious, as long as Vincent can declare his control and influence over the army and territorial sovereignty through this banquet, then it can effectively deter the forces with evil intentions on all sides and those self-righteous political bigwigs, so as to continue to maintain a relatively stable and peaceful political situation, and create a more peaceful environment for the people of the empire to live and work.

As one of the protagonists of the banquet, food is naturally the highlight of the highlight, but it is also a difficult problem that can easily be used as an excuse to play with the heart of the ghost.

Whether the combination of colors and styles is in line with the theme, whether the grade and quality are enough grades, and whether they collide with the taboos of the VIPs, these are all failures with allusions, and the most important thing is whether the taste is delicious and wins the recognition of the guests.

You must know that the difficulty of adjusting the number of people is an eternal problem that has existed almost since the emergence of food, and even the highest peak of the legendary chef with the title of 'god' has some opponents who can cite real shortcomings to criticize its strength.

Therefore, in the auction house, Rosenberg, the vice president of the foodie from the Heron Alchemist's Guild, belittled the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, knowing that most of the food in the palace banquet was not cooked for the purpose of making the guests eat and enjoy the food, and in order not to be found faulty, it is absolutely impossible to compromise with the traditional and old dishes with clichéd ingredients and lackluster taste.

But this is exactly what this kind of political banquet needs, 'do not seek merit, but seek no fault', it seems to warn all the guests attending the banquet to complete your tasks well and then retire from the stage, just like these stale dishes on the table, even if they are splendid inside, they must be limited by rules and regulations, and do not go out of line!

Therefore, Lloyd knew that it was unrealistic when he heard Vincent's reason for inviting outsiders to take charge of the stove at the beginning, and he wanted to persuade but couldn't bear to refute it, and when Vincent said this, Vincent rarely had a fun and cunning interest, so in the end, the headache was carried by him.

At the risk of something going wrong, he was afraid that he would be crazy to have a good face for Foster and his party as the 'culprit'.
