Chapter 509: He's Really Here to Eat
Li Ping'an's main purpose here today is to eat.
It's the first time I've eaten the dishes of the palace, although I've eaten a lot of delicious food from all over the world.
However, the delicacies in the palace are not available everywhere.
Therefore, in addition to chatting with the emperor of Great Xia, Li Ping'an occasionally chatted with the chief worshipper of Great Xia on the side, and more often ate it in large gulps.
Although it is eaten quickly, it does not come across as vulgar.
Li Ping'an has already practiced this special set of skills.
The thumb clasps the bowl and the chopsticks swim around the dishes like dragonflies.
Originally, the bowl was empty, but when it looked again, it was already full.
However, in just a few moments, he ate the dishes in the bowl cleanly.
Then there was another little bit of water.
The old cow was almost in sync with his movements.
"Boom~"
Various dishes were served to the table in turn, and there were fewer people at this table who could concentrate on eating.
After all, all the people who sit are the supervisors, and the chief worshippers.... and other characters.
Most of the meals are a light bite and the chopsticks are put down, which is not attractive to them.
It's like the chief worshipper simply closes his eyes and recuperates, and no one cares.
The supervisor and Lao Dao sometimes chatted and had a glass of wine, of course, most of the time they were silent.
It's as if they don't know each other well.
The higher the practice, the more often this is the case.
On the one hand, it is because there are juniors around him, and it is inevitable to control his words and deeds.
On the other hand, it is the character.
Having reached this state, there is no need to echo it.
The Great Xia Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, seemed to have long been accustomed to this situation, and did not feel the slightest unnaturalness.
It's just that everyone glanced at Li Ping'an on the side, intentionally or unintentionally.
Originally, as the banquet progressed, everyone paid a lot less attention to Li Ping'an.
However, as Li Ping'an's chopsticks swept by like a dragonfly, they drew everyone's attention back.
It's like an actor performing on stage, and when the audience is bored, he recaptures everyone's attention in a special way.
It wasn't until he had eaten all the food on the last plate that Li Ping'an had a well-fed and well-fed aura.
Leaning back in his chair lazily, he looked like he was well fed and drunk.
"Whew~"
A few people were a little sluggish.
Hey, it's pretty tasty.
Someone else may be a formality, but he really came to eat.
But someone at the bottom secretly thought, "Look at this amount of food, is it a martial artist?" ”
Thinking of the other party and Gu Xizhou as friends, Gu Xizhou is a martial artist, then he is likely to be a martial artist.
However, in the end, there is still a little bit of elegance missing, which makes some people's impression of Li Ping'an a little lower.
"Sir, I toast you."
After walking around below, Lin Xiao was already seven points drunk.
Li Ping'an responded with a smile.
"Sir, are you satisfied with what you have eaten today?"
"Satisfied, naturally satisfied."
"I just went to greet your uncles and elders on the orders of my father, and I hope that Mr. will not be blamed." Lin Xiao had a smile on his face.
Li Ping'an waved his hand, "Your Highness said that it was a blessing for Li to be able to sit here and eat a meal that didn't cost money, and to be able to enjoy singing and dancing." ”
Compared with Lin Xiao now, Li Ping'an still prefers him who has no restraints when he talks to him before.
Li Ping'an glanced at the kings lined up in several rows, and asked casually, "These people are all royal heirs?" ”
"Yes, that's just part of it, there are many who didn't show up because of the distance and other reasons."
"Oh?"
There are more than 20 princes who are qualified to enter the palace alone, not to mention other vassal kings.
At the local level, the descendants of the royal family enjoy privileges, are not bound by ordinary laws, and are not subject to the control of the local government.
It is even possible to collect taxes at the local level and bully the local people.
No wonder it happened that King Ning was unscrupulous in Ningzhou, and even killed the local political envoy.
In other parts of the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't know how many times this kind of thing will happen.
"There is no end to children and grandchildren." Li Ping'an suddenly said this.
"Sir, what did you say?" Lin Xiao asked.
Li Ping'an turned to smile, "It's nothing." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and when he saw that the other party didn't want to say, he didn't continue to ask.
As the bell rang, the banquet was coming to an end.
The Qintian Prison Supervisor was the first to take a stand, followed by the Chief Worshipper of Great Xia, who had been dozing there.... The people in the upper positions left one after another.
It's just that the ministers of civil and military affairs below, as well as the royal workers, did not dare to leave the scene without permission.
In the end, only Li Ping'an was left with Lao Niu and Biao to sit on the top seat.
"Your Highness."
Li Ping'an greeted Lin Xiao as he slipped out of his cuffs and slipped out a roll of bamboo.
"It's the New Year, but Li can't take out any good things, see His Royal Highness with a sword.
can have some interest in martial arts, this is a sword intent post written by Li, and it is used as a New Year's gift. ”
The tone was like when I was a child and my relatives gave me New Year's money.
However, as the emperor's son, Lin Xiao naturally will not be short of money.
So the day before he came, Li Ping'an decided what to send instead of New Year's money.
Regardless of status, etiquette is indispensable.
“.... This... Thank you sir..."
Lin Xiao didn't shirk it, which made both sides avoid embarrassment.
Because he suddenly remembered that when he was a child.
When his relatives gave him New Year's money, he ran around the house shyly, and his relatives had to chase after him.
Even if they catch it, their parents will tear it up for a while.
If you reproduce a paragraph in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs now, it would be a little funny to think about that picture.
Lin Xiao glanced at the sword intent post, but he didn't see any doorway.
I felt that the handwriting on it was vibrant, and there was a feeling that the general was wearing armor and ready to gallop across the field.
However, although I couldn't see the value in it, I still praised it a lot.
Anyway, just say yes, there will be no problem.
Li Ping'an didn't say anything through it, just smiled.
Then, Li Ping'an threw his eyes on Princess Huailin.
To put it bluntly, it was the banquet of the Great Xia Emperor today, and only Princess Huailin and Lin Xiao were the juniors.
So the object of the New Year's money is naturally the two of them.
"This elixir is a slimming pill refined by Li, and I hope the princess will accept it with a smile."
"Slimming Pill?" Princess Huailin's eyes lit up, "And this elixir?" ”
She only knew about beauty pills, detoxification pills, etc., but she really hadn't heard of any slimming pills.
There are some pills on the market that can change body shape, but there are some side effects.
Princess Huailin naturally didn't dare to eat it.
Li Ping'an's voice was calm, "The princess can eat it with confidence, this medicine is not harmful to the human body." ”
If this was said by a certain cultivator, Princess Huailin would naturally not believe it.
But if these words came out of Li Ping'an's mouth, he would believe them without doubt.
"It's just that the princess should pay attention to the dosage when she eats, and it is better to eat one pill a month."
"Thank you, sir." Princess Huailin has been blessed.
It can be seen that Huailin is sincerely happy.
Because she wants to control her weight, she doesn't dare to eat more on weekdays, but she is hungry.
This gift really went to her heart.
After the banquet, Li Ping'an refused the invitation of the Great Xia Emperor to stay in the palace for a longer time.
This free banquet was relatively satisfying, did not cost money, and the food was comfortable.
No unpleasant things were encountered, and no one took the initiative to provoke him.
Nor did anyone shout that he was unworthy of being in the top seat.
Everything is so peaceful~
...........
Another few days later.
It was snowing heavily again in the capital, and Lin Xiao sat under the eaves of the palace to enjoy the snow.
"Your Highness, it's time to read."
The teacher's voice pulled him back into reality.
Lin Xiao's face immediately changed, and he moaned weakly, "Master, I seem to be sick today." ”
"Find a royal doctor when you're sick."
"The imperial doctor may not be able to cure it."
"Then I'll find Qin Tianjian."
The teacher walked straight to the hall, "Your Highness, what books have you been reading in the last few days?" ”
The master glanced at the books on the desk, most of them were novels or comic books.
This made the master frown, and then his brows suddenly showed again.
"Sword Intent"
"My heart is very relieved."
The master nodded, this highness finally looked at something that was still useful.
Lin Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, he knew every word in the handbook that Li Ping'an gave him.
But when you put it together, you can't understand anything.
After studying for two days, I didn't find any eyebrows, so I put it aside.
"Master, you came just in time to help me study that sword intent post."
