At the grand banquet, celebrities from the imperial capital gathered. Before that, Lu Ming, as the head of the principality, formally paid an audience with His Majesty King William V of the kingdom.
The banquet hall is splendid, with huge oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. The long dining table in the middle is in the shape of a horseshoe, and above it are six giant bright branch-shaped crystal chandeliers.
William V gave the Prince of Montenegro a very high courtesy, and the Prince of Montenegro was arranged to sit next to William V in accordance with the standards of a royal state banquet.
In his speech, William V specifically mentioned the great achievements of Prince Montenegro in "recovering" the territory of the Northern Territory.
In fact, this part of the speech is equivalent to binding the entire territory of the principality into the legal territory of the Kingdom of Grifenni.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of talk about the principality's part in the Northern Territory, and the identity of the principal of the principality will also have a lot to say, and he may not necessarily be a vassal of King Greyfinni.
The dishes are extremely luxurious, mainly reflected in the ingredients. Snails, foie gras, kid meat, etc. are all specialties and the taste is indeed different.
Lu Ming kept smiling throughout the whole process, and after the banquet, he politely exchanged greetings with the nobles of the imperial capital.
Sister Windsor was also there, but the two didn't show much intimacy.
…
In the lounge on the top floor of the Golden Moon Hotel, Lu Ming looked at the photo of himself bowing slightly in front of William V in the "Empire Evening News" and put the newspaper aside with a smile.
We had an audience in the morning, but now it has been published in the evening newspaper, which shows how impatient William V is.
In fact, when a vassal formally meets the king, the traditional etiquette is to kneel on one knee. However, after communication with the Privy Council of the Principality, the royal family did not insist on it.
Naturally, William V did not want his visit to the imperial capital and the ceremony of meeting him to go to waste, so he tolerated his visit by bowing.
The reason is that he, the Prince of Montenegro, comes from Princess Alice and belongs to "Bolivia". According to the context of Central China, his surname probably means Wang. In addition, the Prince of Montenegro has made great contributions in regaining the Northern Territory, and it is a new era. So I bowed before him.
However, William V made another trick when he met with him, and held a so-called investiture ceremony, conferring on himself the title of "Deputy Marshal of the Imperial Guards" and appointing himself as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military District of the Kingdom".
This move naturally shows to the outside world that the Principality of Montenegro and the Prince of Montenegro support his claim to the throne of the Imperial Emperor. At the same time, the so-called "Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Region of the Kingdom" shows that the Prince of Montenegro and his armed forces are also fully involved in the military order. It is part of the kingdom's military system.
"Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom's Northern Military Region..." Lu Ming smiled, "Actually, where is the border of the Kingdom's northern region?"
Bizhu nodded lightly: "When His Highness turns around, we can issue an edict so that the armed forces of Hanzhou and the states and provinces north of Hanzhou will be controlled by Your Highness."
"We still have to wait for the dispute in the Western Region to come to an end." Lu Ming touched his chest and abdomen, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, I don't know why..."
"Your Highness has eaten something cursed." Bizhu said calmly.
Lu Ming was stunned: "What?"
"It's a piece of snail meat. When I see the black energy billowing from it, I think it's a Western curse. However, His Highness has already become a golden body, so it's no problem."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Okay..." After thinking about it, he actually didn't need to trace who poisoned him. This was the foundation of the West, like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Bi Zhu was right to keep silent, so that the people who wanted to kill him could not find it. Be clear about your own reality.
However, his stomach was burning and he felt really uncomfortable. Lu Ming coughed and said, "If you hold the beads in your mouth, you won't watch me eat them."
"Of course, she is still complaining about me now!" Bizhu frowned, as if communicating with someone, and then said helplessly: "I know..." She looked at Lu Ming: "I'm here to help His Highness drive it out! "
Lu Ming hurriedly said: "Okay..." After taking a look at Bizhu's expression, he didn't dare to complain.
I don't know why, but I always feel nervous in front of Bizhu. No matter how high and powerful he is, the shadow caused by his Nine Yin White Bone Claws can never be erased.
"Your Highness, please go to the bedroom." Bizhu said, got up and walked out.
Attending the banquet, Bizhu didn't like Western dresses because they exposed too much skin and would look out of place if she were wearing Zhongzhou clothes. Therefore, she chose a long dress and trousers made of red and purple gauze. The fabric was silky. The color is very bright, with an exquisite coat tied around the waist, and trousers that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. They are fashionable and beautiful, and are paired with a pair of brown stiletto heels. This is the current clothing style of oriental fairies. This is the first time Lu Ming has seen it. Bizhu's figure is really It is like a fairy, perfect and indescribable. Now it appears vaguely and brightly.
Lu Ming felt so drunk as he walked behind her that he forgot about the discomfort in his stomach.
On the luxurious Greffenian-style bed, the four pillars of the bed are withered into the shape of golden birds spreading their wings, and they intersect under the golden chandelier on the top of the bed, with snow-white gauze curtains hanging from all sides.
Lu Ming lay on it comfortably, and Bizhu took a small silver basin in front of him and put it in front of his mouth, saying, "Spit out any disgusting words in a while."
Lu Ming nodded slightly, then suddenly took a breath of air and almost screamed, as if his stomach was being stabbed by countless needles.
But Bizhu was already sitting on his back, and a pair of jade hands pressed on his left and right ribs.
The blue beads were hanging lightly in the air, so Lu Ming couldn't feel any weight on his body.
Fortunately, after the severe pain in his stomach, he soon felt warm and comfortable, but Lu Ming didn't feel like vomiting.
The massage of Bizhu's slender hands on the back brought bursts of blazing heat. The heat was like a massage stone, but the massage stone was by no means so flexible and soft.
Lu Ming closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it, trying his best to resist the urge to moan.
"Don't you feel like you want to spit it out yet?" Bizhu asked strangely.
"No..." Lu Ming replied guiltily, but when he opened his eyes and looked around, beside his face, there were Bi Zhu's slender feet, which were actually wearing snow-white stockings. This fairy with terrifying cultivation level had extremely delicate skin. Like any pores, real skin is like gelatin, and a pair of jade-fat slender feet is more like Guanyin Bodhisattva coming to the world. It is so perfect that it is indescribable. You may forget the wonder of these slender feet when you turn around, and you will only remember that they are beautiful and absolutely beautiful. It is the presence of God in the world.
However, in order to cope with the world, she wore lace and white socks.
Lu Ming's heart was pounding, and he grasped it with both hands as if by chance.
Bizhu exclaimed softly, and her whole body trembled. She was floating on Lu Ming's body, but now she seemed to have fallen from the void and sat firmly on Lu Ming's back. But she was as light as a feather, and that kind of touch only made her feel uncomfortable. Lu Ming felt overwhelmed again.
"Hanzhu, you..." Bizhu scolded gently.
Lu Ming knew that Bizhu wanted to leave, so he came out in exchange for Hanzhu, but he didn't want to be rejected by Hanzhu.
"Don't leave..." Lu Ming coughed, "Aren't you and Hanzhu my royal concubines of the Baozhu Palace?"
"You are in a dangerous situation, Your Highness is too ridiculous!" Bizhu's tone was a little cold.
When Lu Ming heard this, he felt as if cold water had been thrown on his head. As soon as his hands were loosened, the pair of wonderful feet that made the blood rush throughout his body disappeared. He suddenly felt a great loss in his heart, as if he had lost an incomparable and mysterious divine object.
Bizhu had already gently landed in front of the bed. Looking at Lu Ming's expression, she whispered: "Your Highness, I'm speechless, please don't be angry."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm being ridiculous. You're right." He added, "I should be okay, but I didn't think about vomiting anything."
Bizhu nodded lightly: "It seems that the demonic creature was suppressed by His Highness and absorbed its essence."
Lu Ming sat up and asked, "Let's go shopping together?"
Bi Zhu said: "Let's go to the orphanage? Tomorrow's trip to the orphanage can be arranged by another charity organization."
Lu Ming thought for a while, "Tomorrow's trip to the Orphanage will be replaced by a trip to the Imperial Supreme Court!"
The Emperor of the Empire is now vacant, and other institutions, including the Imperial Parliament, are also in name only. Only the Supreme Court of the Empire, with its nine justices, is still exercising power as usual.
But it was somewhat amusing to oneself. For example, the Supreme Court had ruled that the Kingdom of Sonia had committed genocide against the Ged people, but no one paid any attention to it.
