434 people in the play
Seeing the countless delicacies in front of you being taken away by the palace maid and eunuch with a cold face, Liu Liwa felt a little distressed. It seemed that "it was noon to hoe the rice, and sweat dripped into the soil. Who knew that every grain of food was hard to eat." This poem was specially made for the poor. Only the poor who really couldn't eat enough food knew the preciousness of food.
Liu Liwa was in a sympathy and followed the eunuchs and guards to slowly walk towards the palace. The magnificent palaces were still dazzling even at night. The towering palaces were magnificent and magnificent, with a huge atmosphere. Pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, jade towers, greenery, beautiful and elegant; flowers are everywhere, and winding paths are secluded. The air is filled with a faint fragrance, like poetry and painting. All of this is made of blood and bones, but gradually it has become the source of extravagance, waste, luxury and glitz.
Walking through the road, passing through the corridor, and stepping through the jade steps, finally stopped outside a palace. Liu Liwa felt like he was sightseeing. The young and beautiful palace maids, the mighty and majestic guards, and the timid eunuchs all revealed the luxury of the nobles.
The palace in front of me is called Chaosheng Hall. It is the highest palace in the entire royal complex. Even if it is not large, you can watch the sea and listen to the sound of Chaosheng. It is a very pleasant place. Moreover, after the eunuchs next to you, this place is a place for the private cultivation of the royal family. Even if the princes and ministers do not have special gifts, they are not allowed to enter. It is the highest standard for entertaining Liu Li and Wa here.
Liu Liwa, with a look of honor, was greeted by an official wearing a big red brocade robe. He was a special deacon in this palace, a loyal guard and slave to the royal family, and everyone else had to stop here.
In the main hall, the lights were brightly lit. The banquet just now ended. A small banquet was being held here. There were only six people participating, four men and two women. Except for Wu Liniang, the other men were over forty-five years old. They were mature and calm, domineering and restrained, but they couldn't help but exuded the momentum of staying in high positions for a long time and looking down at all living beings, but they could turn their hands into clouds and rain.
At this time, the six of them were gathering around a round table and eating hot pot. And it was seafood hot pot!
Liu Liwa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and found that the deacons around him had stepped down at some point, and the original door had also been closed. I thought the royal bosses here were either correcting memorials, doing everything they could, or working hard for the country and the people, but they were actually eating seafood hot pot. This strong psychological contrast made Liu Liwa a little uncomfortable for a while, and felt as if he saw Gong Wuyuan and others no longer surfing the Internet at work and fighting against landlords, but were working hard. The contrast was strong.
Among the six people, four middle-aged men, one fat man, one beard, one dark-skinned, one left-handed man holding chopsticks on both sides, and two other women, one is Wu Li Niang, the other middle-aged woman, a mature and beautiful woman, with a charm. They looked at Liu Li Wa together, and Liu Li Wa also looked at them with surprise. After a long time, the fat man stood up and gave people a very easy-to-be-the-plot feeling. He smiled and said, "This is a guest who came from afar, the messenger of the Shenma Empire. If you have any mistakes, you will be in a bad mood, and you will be in a bad mood. Please sit down quickly."
The left-handed uncle also said, "Do you like seafood hotpot? Oysters are good for men."
The left-handed uncle said while picking 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 signaled him to sit down. This made Liu Liwa a little flattered. He felt as if he had just arrived at a company and was warmly welcomed by his colleagues who were not familiar with him.
The other two uncles were not idle either. Looking at Liu Liwa, who was still a little stunned, he directly kidnapped him to the table, pressed him to sit down, served the bowls and chopsticks and poured wine, and was extremely intimate.
This made Liu Liwa a little flattered and helpless. He couldn't help but look at Wu Liniang like a girl. The girl raised her eyebrows calmly, so many things Liu Liwa didn't understand, but what she was doing was definitely the people who were absolutely in power in Nanchuan.
Apart from the luxurious woman around him, the other middle-aged uncles were extremely enthusiastic about Liu Liwa. They picked up food and poured wine, asked about their well-being, and were extremely attentive, which really scared him very much, but this made Liu Liwa understand a little.
As he walked along the way, he always received eunuchs. He had nothing to say or introduce them. He just conveyed the invitation from the senior management and entered the palace. He took him more like a garden. He saw the young and beautiful palace maids, the mighty and majestic guards, and the timid eunuchs. He was still extremely extravagant and wasteful. Although no one introduced them, these were enough to show that he had truly entered the palace in Nanchuan.
The people around him were able to eat hot pot in this highest-end Chaoyin Hall, which was enough to show their identity as standing at the top of the pyramid. However, the reason why they were so enthusiastic about him, that they seemed to be freehand and even unrestrained, was to create a casual and natural impression and attitude for Liu Liwa.
Because Liu Liwa's identity was the envoy of the Shenma Empire, his mission to travel to the East this time was to contact, establish diplomatic relations, marry and cooperate with Dongning Kingdom.
However, it is clearly Nanchuan. Everyone is in the play and is using tricks. Nanchuan pretends to be Dongning and Liu Liwa pretends to be an envoy. It seems to be a play, but in fact they are playing others. Only Wu Liniang plays herself, but she is the general producer of the whole play.
Normally, Liu Liwa, as an envoy to Dongning, should be received by the state. He came to visit the Emperor of Dongning on auspicious day of the zodiac, and discussed the issue of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries in front of civil and military officials. He presented dozens of beauties and the method of making iron armored beds in the Shenma Empire to show sincerity. Then Emperor Dongning issued an order to marry a princess to go to the Shenma Empire.
But this is Nanchuan. No one knows what kind of contact the Shenma Empire and Dongning had before, nor what specifications should be used to receive them so that they would not reveal flaws. So they decided to take a gamble and simply do not use any specifications or show any pomp. Just like a gathering of relatives and friends, holding an informal dinner in the palace symbolizing supreme power, which seemed solemn and friendly. Naturally, Liu Li and Wa couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
After figuring out the key, Liu Liwa finally gave him a sigh. This trouble made him think he had been to the Hongmen Banquet, but the big guys like Nanchuan also tried their best.
Liu Liwa smiled relaxed, stretched out his two middle fingers, gestured heavily in front of everyone, and smiled and said, "The Nima people in Suwen Dongning are hospitality, it is true. Thanks to you warm hospitality, you cannot repay you. You can only repay you with the highest etiquette of our Shenma Empire. Please stare at my middle finger. It represents my most sincere blessing to you Nima. I wish you many children and grandchildren!"
