Chapter 217: A Different Banquet (I)

The palace is brightly lit, and the magic lights are more stable than the flickering candles, but they are not so bright that they can make people see things as if they were daytime, and the luxurious guests under the soft light look like they have a hazy and extravagant beauty. ??????· y K?A?NSHU·COM

Vincent had been informed by Lloyd in advance that he would enter the banquet hall later, so he had a very simple celebration ceremony with everyone in the outer auditorium, and delaying this time was just a small matter for Vincent, but he was also curious about what kind of tricks could make the slightly old-fashioned Lloyd toss some new tricks with him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but raise my eyes to search for Xiao Yi's figure in the crowd, and found that this kid was yawning, and I couldn't help but be angry. Normally, this kind of thing can only be done by military generals in the army, but it just so happens that today's theme is the celebration of war, so the mood of a martial artist is very high, and the nobles and civil servants are used to mixing in various red tape celebrations and meetings, and the ability to endure boredom is definitely passable.

Therefore, Xiao Yi's boring performance was particularly prominent in the crowd and attracted the attention of many people, if it weren't for the fact that the ceremony of this banquet was very simple and he didn't explain the details of the victory to everyone in detail, he really wanted to pull Xiao Yi out and introduce it. Later, I thought about Xiao Yi's personality, forget it, people may not care about being underestimated, but if they are forced to make decisions by themselves, they must be fried!

Although he didn't mind teasing Xiao Yi as entertainment, after all, it was not suitable for such a formal occasion, and at this moment, he heard the faint sound of a rattle bell from the door behind him, and knew in his heart that the banquet was ready to receive guests. ·y?K?A NSHU·COM

Quickly detached himself from the state of remembrance of the history of the empire and began the closing phase of the speech. And as he announced the end of the ceremony, the door of the banquet restaurant also opened.

Greeted by Lloyd with his maids and servants, Vincent led the guests into the dining room first, and most of these people who were eligible to participate in the banquet were characters who often had the opportunity to enter the palace, and they were no strangers to banquets of all kinds, so they thought they knew everything in the restaurant, but now they saw a very special scene.

In the past, the long table of long tables that were common in the palace banquet was gone, replaced by sporadic dining tables of different sizes, and the common flowers and colorful plates on the table were replaced by simple small pots of flower arrangement, which looked really a little childish.

But to say simple? I'm afraid it won't be so simple, there are no tables and chairs arranged in strict rules, the whole wide space is a lot less depressing, and those bright decorations that were originally placed on the table have been moved to the surrounding walls and columns of the room, adding a little warmth to the originally slightly deserted palace decoration style.

The most important thing is that an indescribable feeling of relaxation spreads throughout the body, and many people have a premonition that the expression and demeanor they have just adjusted with full vigilance may not be effective.

After listening to Lloyd's whisper as he took the glass from him, Vincent raised the golden cup in his hand and said aloud:

"This victory on the Western Front has written a strong mark in the history of the Empire's defense forces, and it can also be said to have opened a new chapter for the future prosperity and stability of our country.

Today, I specially invited the original chef of the restaurant 'Happy Life', which has recently swept the royal capital, to dedicate a table of exquisite dishes to everyone, and I propose that you open your mind and identity concerns tonight, enjoy the food, sit down and have a happy conversation, and come together to celebrate this night worth celebrating, cheers!"

At the time of the speech, the maids and manservants who were in charge of the banquet had already carried trays through the crowd, and presented fine wine to each guest, and with Vincent's last note, the audience raised their glasses to announce the official beginning of the banquet, and at the same time, orchestral players who were more complete than ordinary banquet wind musicians were arranged in advance, and began to cheer up the whole banquet with soft music!

The waiter with the waiter took the initiative to explain to the guests, guiding them to the dining table next to them to pick up the food and utensils by themselves, and then return to the dining area to take their seats at will. But strange things happened, most of the people didn't go to pick up the food but had some exchanges on the spot, and some of the content was not harmonious.

"Lord Jodas, since Your Majesty has not arranged a seat, I think it is better to come and sit here with us!"

"Hehe, if you want to continue the debate at the court meeting, you have been scolded by you for being stubborn, I think we have a few old bones to stay aside, and it will not affect the appetite of you young people!"

......

"Didn't Lady Anne always say that she wanted to try something in that restaurant! Unfortunately, that place is too remote, and this is a rare opportunity today, so come with us and see what is so strange!"

"Oh, no! because I'm going to visit relatives in the Heron Empire with the Count, and I've been on a diet lately to keep in good shape, and I don't have much appetite! I envy my sisters' age, and I don't have to worry about these anymore......"

......

Loyd frowned slightly at first about the unexpected situation, and then quickly ordered the attendant next to him to start working, and he blended into the crowd without care.

It's not that he feels helpless, but because this situation has already been written in the design plan given to him before, and from the situation on the scene, it is exactly the same as the description of "the first contact with the buffet will instantly highlight the original contradictions in the crowd", and as for whether it will be as said later, "the scene will automatically and quickly improve" He is ready to wait and see what happens.

When Xiao Yi drew to Vincent's side, he found that he was familiar with the people around him, and Lodivan still greeted him with that elegant and handsome smile, while His Majesty raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's a new trick you've come up with again!"

"yes, isn't it?"

"That's not bad! It's almost a fight!"

"How real is this, it's better than your original 'disaster' with a fake smile and a dead smile, the most important thing is that you don't feel much more relaxed now!" Xiao Yi was basically not serious in front of Vincent in private, and now it seems that he wants to carry out this style to the end.

"Let's see later! If it doesn't get better, I'll push you out as a monkey to adjust the atmosphere, by the way, when it comes to this guy in your store, I'll put out all the delicious food, if the thing really doesn't work, I'll be a big loser!"

"Don't worry, although I don't have any psychological burden to make you embarrassed, I never do anything to smash my own sign!"
