Chapter 493: The Banquet (I)

Out of the palace, Romon sat in a carriage, followed by several empty cars.

I have to say that the rent here is so expensive that it hurts, but it is worth the money, since the boss dares to ask for so much money, it is naturally worth it.

After Luo Meng lived here, it would save a lot of trouble to go back and forth to the palace, and the royal city was just a city, in fact, the area was large, but it was not comparable to the city in the ordinary county, and the foreign nobles who came to the royal city to do business, who did not have real estate in the royal city, would choose to live temporarily near the palace.

First, it is more convenient to visit the king or to attend the court banquet, after all, it is too troublesome and too wasteful to run the carriages all over the city whenever there is something to do.

The second is that the residences of the nobles of the royal city are close to the palace, and the kings and ministers of the royal city live in this way, in fact, at the beginning it was just for the convenience of discussing things.

But as a direct consequence of this, the land near the palace was so expensive that it was impossible for anyone other than the real powerful to buy it, let alone buy or sell it or live there.

The closer you are to the palace, the more expensive the land is, which is no longer something that can be bought with money alone, but also a status symbol.

Emerald Street, is a gathering of aristocratic mansions and the most luxurious hotel restaurant, the area of this street, very large, big enough to accommodate the home of the three nobles of the royal city, this street is also very small, so small that only the nobles dare to wander around here.

The people who can live in Emerald Street can be said to be the middle and upper class characters in the aristocratic pyramid, and other small and medium-sized nobles generally choose to live near Emerald Street or farther away.

Even if he is a wealthy local nobleman like Luo Meng, when he comes to this royal city where nobles gather, he is not powerful, he can only be regarded as a medium person, his own identity, he can live in Emerald Street, of course, but if he wants to buy a villa here, it will take some time to operate.

"Lu Xiupei, I'm going to take a rest, I'm not going anywhere today, you don't need to call me for dinner, I'll talk about when I come out tomorrow." Romon got out of the carriage and instructed Lu Xiupei, who was following him.

"Yes, sir. "For any decision made by Luo Meng, Lu Xiupei's reaction after hearing it was to execute, execute, and execute. As soon as Romon told this, he immediately said that he understood.

"By the way, those ten boxes of crystal fruits have come back, right?" Romon took a few steps, remembered one more thing, and immediately retreated.

Looking at Luo Meng's inquiring gaze, Lu Xiupei replied very briefly: "Yes, my lord." ”

"Well, I heard that the princess is going out to play today, tomorrow, tomorrow I will send the princess a tribute sticker, and I will say that I want to see her and bring her a gift for her brother. Luo Meng thought for a moment and instructed Lu Xiupei to speak.

Although the matter of meeting the princess is not as rigorous as meeting the king, it also requires a procedure.

"Yes, sir. Lu Xiupei said that he understood, of course, he has always been a little talker, and his answer is still very concise.

Luo Meng has long been used to it, knowing that Lu Xiupei is reliable, and he is still relieved to leave the matter to him, not to mention, this matter is not a very difficult thing to do in his opinion, if Princess Qianya wants to see him, she will naturally react when she receives his request to see him, if the other party does not react, he will take a good turn in this royal city, and finally come to such a trip, it can't be in vain, right?

Because Luo Meng's cultivation was almost not delayed for a day, even when he arrived in this royal city, Luo Meng did not let himself have fun and ignore his practice, as soon as he finished meeting the king, he entered his room, closed the door, and practiced seriously.

When they came back, it was already evening, and the carriage in which Romon rode had always been filled with pastries, fruits, fruit wine, white water, etc., in order not to be hungry because of the long visit, Romon had already eaten some pastries and drank some water when he went, and when he came back, he also ate snacks from time to time, and now he was not very hungry.

He went in and came out, and sure enough, it was noon the next day.

During this period, Lu Xiupei really followed Luo Meng's instructions, found two cronies and attendants, rode to the palace again, and handed the princess a request to see her.

It should also be noted here that although Princess Qianya lived in the palace, when Romon visited the king, she could not visit her at the same time, which was a rule of aristocratic society and a kind of etiquette.

Even if Luo Meng wanted to bring those boxes of crystal fruits to the princess at that time, if the princess herself appeared in front of him, he would not have been able to take the initiative to meet the princess on the same day, and on this day, Princess Qianya happened to go out of the palace to play and was not in the palace, so Luo Meng had to pull the crystal fruit how to pull it and how to pull it back.

And the name of the second prince is just a nice name to meet the princess, but this set of rhetoric cannot be mentioned in front of the king.

Anyway, there is no restriction on the communication between men and women among nobles, and it is good for Romon to meet in private.

Riding to the attendant's place, the attendant sent by Lu Xiupei sent the request to the attendant according to the order, according to the regulations, the attendants who received the request will present it to the princess, and after the princess agrees, someone will come to inform Romon of it.

At that time, I couldn't get the news immediately, and after the post was delivered, the attendant went back to hand over the errand, but I didn't know, so I unexpectedly postponed the meeting between Romon and Princess Qianya for a few days.

It turned out that Princess Qianya was the most welcome guest of the ladies and ladies of the upper class, and in the past few days, she did not return to the palace, but lived in the home of a close friend, and went to the banquet held by the ladies every day, and she was very busy every day.

And she didn't go back to the palace, she didn't know that Romon had arrived in the royal city, although the palace attendants knew where she went, but they didn't think that Viscount Tertashaw was anything special, so they suppressed the request to see the princess, even if there were attendants changing shifts every day to protect the princess, no one mentioned it at all.

A viscount is indeed prominent enough in the local area, but he is only a middle-level nobleman in the royal city.

In this way, after three days, Romon did not wait for the people sent by the princess, and did not care very much, and began to wander around the royal city.

On the first and second days, Romon just walked around the neighborhood, went to some famous places, and bought some interesting specialties.

That afternoon, he was eating in a high-end restaurant on Yulan Street in the west of Wangcheng City, when someone took a banquet invitation and found him where he lived.

“...... That's the case, my lord just went out for a transfer, where exactly he went, we who are attendants don't know very well, it's better like this, please post it for me to collect it on your behalf, and when my lord comes back, I will definitely hand it over to him. One of the remaining attendants thought for a moment and said.

It can only be like this, there are a lot of things in the palace, the knight who delivered the letter can't just wait, he looked at the squire: "That's fine, but I need to know your name, if Viscount Titache doesn't get the invitation in the future, I can tell who picked it up." ”

The squire who stayed behind said this, and the knight nodded, handed the beautiful box containing the invitation to the squire, and rode away without saying anything more.

"What a man, so arrogant. The attendant next to him muttered unhappily.

"People are court knights, how can they take a fancy to us people? Forget it, we won't stay too long anyway, please take this post in first, and wait for the adults to come back and give it to the adults." The attendant holding the delicate locket sighed.

The group turned and walked back to the house, and when Romon returned in the evening, he saw a note in a beautiful box. When you unfold the sticker, you can see the beautiful font dancing on the textured gold paper.

This is an invitation to a court banquet, inviting a lot of nobles, basically covering many noble figures in the upper class, if you want to step into the upper class society of the royal city, this banquet is definitely a good opportunity.

Romon decided to make serious preparations, he ordered the people to prepare the carriage outside, and sat in the carriage, and came to the most famous and high-quality tailor shop on the Emerald Street, if this shop only looked at the storefront without looking at the signboard, it would give people the illusion that this was a noble villa, built very elegant, noble, and emotional.

Here, Luo Meng ordered several sets of clothes, all of which were specially used to participate in high-end banquets, and the price was extremely expensive, and the reason why he didn't need to bring clothes from the territory was because the popular trend in Wangcheng was only known to the people here, and a person's appearance and packaging, when meeting strangers, would greatly affect the level of impression score.

Romon is not stingy in investing in this area.

In fact, when wearing the expensive clothes made by the most famous and expensive tailor in the royal city, the aristocratic temperament on Luo Meng's body was brought out to the greatest extent, and it did not look like a country bun at all.

Three days later, Romon rode in a carriage to the royal palace to attend a banquet.

The address of this banquet was chosen on the first floor of the main palace, occupying the largest and most splendid hall, and he passed through a few checks, and after checking his identity and invitation, he walked into the hall smoothly.

Lu Xiupei and the others rested in other parts of the palace, and Luo Meng was attending the palace banquet for the first time, so to speak, a strange face in the banquet, and everyone was only surprised by his excellent appearance at first, but after careful inspection, they found that he was not the illustrious nobleman they knew, so they all turned their attention and went to talk to the others.

Just when Romon was feeling a little bored, someone suddenly said behind him, "Viscount Titasio, why are you here? When did you come to the royal capital?"
