434 people in the play
Seeing the countless delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him being taken away and poured away by the indifferent palace maids and eunuchs with indifferent faces, Liu Li Wa was a little distressed. This poem is made for the poor, and only the poor who really don't have enough to eat know the preciousness of food.
Liu Li Wa was a relative in his heart, followed by a group of ministers, eunuchs, and guards, and slowly walked towards the palace, a splendid palace, even at night, still dazzling, the majestic palace is magnificent, and the weather is thousands. Pavilion pavilion, Yaotai Langyuan, flowing red dripping green, beautiful, extremely elegant; Flowers are everywhere, and winding paths are quiet. The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is picturesque. All this is made of blood and bones, but it has slowly become the source of extravagance, waste, extravagance, and glitz.
Walking through the road, through the corridor, stepping on the jade steps, and finally stopping outside a palace, Liu Li Wa felt like sightseeing, the young and beautiful palace maids, the mighty and majestic guards, and the eunuchs who only promised each other, all revealed the luxury of the nobility.
The palace in front of me is called the Chaosheng Palace, it is the highest palace in the whole royal complex, even if the scale is not large, but you can look at the sea and listen to the sound of the tide, it is a very pleasant place, and listen to the introduction of the eunuch next to it, this is a place for the private cultivation of the royal family, even if the princes and ministers are not allowed to enter without special gifts, it belongs to the highest specification of entertaining Liu Li Wa here.
With a face full of honor, Liu Li Wa was greeted by an official in a big red brocade robe, who belonged to the special deacon of this palace, a loyal guard and servant of the royal family, and everyone else had to stop here.
In the main hall, the lights are bright, the feast just now is over, a small banquet is being held here, there are only six people in total, four men and two women, except for Wu Liniang, the rest of the men are over forty-five years old, mature and calm, domineering and introverted, but they can't help but exude the momentum, long in a high position, looking down on all beings, can turn their hands for clouds and hands for rain.
At this time, the six of them were gathered around a round table, eating hot pot. And it's seafood hot pot!
Liu Li Wa wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and found that the deacon next to him did not know when he had retreated, and the original gate had been closed. The contrast is striking.
Among these six people, four middle-aged men, one is fat, one is bearded, one is dark-skinned, one is left-hander with chopsticks left and right, and the other two women, one is Wu Liniang, a middle-aged woman, a mature beauty, the charm still exists, they all looked at Liu Li Wa, Liu Li Wa also looked at them with a look of surprise, for a long time, the fat man took the initiative to stand up, the fat man, can always give people a very easy-going, easy plot feeling, he smiled and said: "This is the guest from afar, the messenger of the Shenma Empire, If you are disrespectful, disrespectful, please sit down. ”
The left-handed uncle also said, "Do you like to eat seafood hot pot?" Oysters are good for men. ”
As he spoke, the left-handed uncle picked up a piece of oyster meat from the hot pot and put it in an empty bowl, at this time the others also stood up and motioned for him to sit down, which made Liu Li Wa a little flattered, feeling as if he had just arrived at a company and was warmly welcomed by colleagues who were not familiar with him.
The other two uncles were not idle, looking at Liu Li Wa, who was still a little stunned, directly left and right, kidnapping him to the table, pressing him to sit down, serving dishes and chopsticks and pouring wine, extremely affectionate.
This made Liu Li Wa a little flattered, a little helpless, he couldn't help but look at Wu Liniang, the little girl raised her eyebrows quietly, so much that Liu Li Wa didn't understand, but what he was doing must be the absolute power of the entire Nanchuan.
In addition to the luxurious woman around, several other middle-aged uncles were extremely enthusiastic about Liu Li Wa, picking vegetables and pouring wine, shouting and asking for warmth, and being extremely attentive, which really scared him a lot, but this made Liu Li Wa understand a little.
Just now he went all the way, and the reception was always a eunuch, there was nothing to say, and there was no introduction, but he conveyed the invitation of the high-level, entered the palace, took him more like a garden, and saw the young and beautiful palace maids, the mighty and majestic guards, and the eunuchs who were only submissive, or extremely extravagant and wasteful, although no one introduced, but these are enough to show that he really entered the palace in Nanchuan.
And the people around can eat hot pot in this highest-end Chaosheng Palace, which is enough to show their identity at the top of the pyramid, but the reason why they are so enthusiastic about him, seemingly freehand and even eating hot pot out of tune, is to create an easy-going, natural impression and attitude to Liu Li Wa.
Because, Liu Li Wa's identity is the envoy of the Shenma Empire, and his mission to the East this time is to contact Dongning, establish diplomatic relations, marry, and cooperate.
However, this is obviously Nanchuan. Everyone is in the play, they are all planning and planning, Nanchuan pretending to be Dongning, Liu Li Wa pretending to be a messenger, it seems to be a play, but in fact, they are all playing others, and only Wu Liniang plays herself, but she is the chief producer of the whole play.
Normally speaking, Liu Li Wa as an envoy to Dongning, should be received by the national standard, on the auspicious day of the zodiac into the pilgrimage to meet the emperor of Dongning, in front of the civil and military officials to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, he presented dozens of beauties, as well as the Shenma Empire's iron armor bed manufacturing method to show sincerity, and then the Dongning Emperor issued a decree to marry, marry the princess to the Shenma Empire.
But this is Nanchuan, no one knows what kind of contact the Shenma Empire and Dongning have had before, and they don't know what kind of specifications should be used to receive them so that they won't show flaws, so they decided to make a desperate bet, simply don't use any specifications, don't put on any pomp, just like a gathering of relatives and friends, in the palace that symbolizes supreme power, hold an informal dinner like a family banquet, which is both grand and very friendly, naturally, so that Liu Li Wa can't tell the truth from the fake.
Liu Li Wa, who figured out the key point, finally gave a sigh of relief, and this tossing made him think that he had gone to the Hongmen banquet, but these bigwigs in Nanchuan also tried their best.
Liu Li Wa relaxed and smiled, stretched out his two middle fingers, gestured heavily in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "The Nima adults who have asked Dongning are hospitable, and it is true, thanks to your hospitality, there is nothing to repay, only to repay you with the highest etiquette of our Shenma Empire, please gaze at my middle finger, it represents my most sincere blessing to all of you Nima, I wish you many children and grandchildren!" ”
