Lingwu Prince's Mansion has a quiet courtyard.
"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect it. When I traveled through time at the beginning of the year, I was still worried about my status as a gangster. Now I am living in the Lingwu Prince's Mansion in Zhongjing."
Lu Zheng was sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion of the small courtyard, eating the chilled melons and fruits stored in the palace cellar until summer, crossed his legs, and said leisurely, "And you don't have to take this generation of King Lingwu seriously."
Shen Ying ate and found a sand fruit, put it in her mouth and took a bite. The sweetness still contained a lot of sourness. She couldn't help but shook her head, but she still ate the fruit with a "click-click", "Don't talk about Lingwu Prince's Palace." Well, with your conduct, even if you go to the palace to have an audience, Emperor Jing will treat you with courtesy."
Although Da Jing established a country and a dynasty in the world of Xianxia, apart from the military, special departments such as the Department of Foreign Affairs and Palace Guards, most of the officials who govern the country, even members of the royal family, are ordinary people.
Even if the royal family dies, not everyone is qualified to turn into ghosts and gods and enjoy incense offerings. After all, no matter how much incense is available in the world, it is still limited. How can it be possible to provide unlimited supply of incense to more and more people?
For example, the lineage of King Lingwu has been with the country for six hundred years. Only Jinggao Qiqi became a god, cultivated great supernatural powers, and enjoyed royal enshrinement. After him, there was only one descendant with good qualifications who became a god after death. At this time, he was serving as a god in Lingkong Heaven Realm. Yixingguan.
For example, Emperor Jing of this generation takes various tonics but has no cultivation at all. Can you believe it?
However, King Jing and King Lingwu are different. No matter which generation of King Jing they are, they can become gods and enjoy incense after death. This is the only special case of the Dajing court. Others, even queens, must also look at their qualifications.
Those with good qualifications will be granted the title of god after death, either to the land or to the city god.
Those with better qualifications will enter the Lingkong Heaven Realm and become star officials of the imperial court, as a legacy of the dynasty.
As for those with poor qualifications...that means their body and soul have disappeared, they have no obsession, their soul is not solid, they cannot enter the underworld, and they cannot become ghosts.
In addition to these ghosts and gods, the imperial court has the right to rule the Central Plains, and naturally has a lot of resources such as exercises, elixirs, treasures, etc., so it can recruit the world's masters for its own use, and it can also recruit children with extraordinary talents. Cultivated since childhood, these people are the court's confidence in dealing with other forces.
For example, the origins of the envoys of Zhenyisi are different in different places. Luo Yixian from Yisi in Weizhou Prefecture is a disciple of Baiyunguan, while Chu Jin from Yisi in Yizhou Prefecture is a talent cultivated by the imperial court itself. .
Having said so much, I actually mean the same thing. Although there are many masters in the Dajing court, there are more ordinary people.
With Lu Zheng's strength, even if he comes to the palace, he will be called "immortal chief" by others, let alone this Lingwu Prince's Palace.
When they met in the afternoon, Lu Zheng could see clearly that in the entire palace, not counting the few martial arts guards and one alchemist, except for the Lingwu King of this generation who had a hundred years of Taoism, there was only one who was sent to him by Jing Gaoqi. Jing Qianyu, a tour guide, has extraordinary qualifications, and his cultivation level is probably similar to that of Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing:_
When the Lingwu King of this generation saw his ancestor personally leading a few people here, he naturally knew that Lu Zheng and the others were incredible masters of aliens, beings that even Jing Gaoqi had become friends with, so they were naturally cautious and enthusiastic. reception, and sent Jing Qianyu as a tour guide without hesitation.
Although King Lingwu has a good status in the Dajing royal family, no one would dislike him for having so many opportunities, right?
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and then the steward Liu San's voice sounded outside the door, "Are the gentlemen and ladies here? Dinner is ready. Can I have it brought to you?"
"Come in." Lu Zheng responded, and then said with a smile, "Just in time to taste the food in Prince Zhongjing's Mansion."
I saw the door of the small courtyard being pushed open, and then twelve people in one group, each carrying a double-layered food box in each hand, walked in one after another. Without even looking at the pavilion, they entered under Liu San's command. In the main hall, the decoration began.
A large round table was brought up, four Taishi chairs were placed side by side, bowls, chopsticks and hand towels were placed in front, and then plates and basins of steaming dishes were brought out and placed on the round table. It has a nice shape.
Forty-two dishes, rich in fragrance, colorful in color, scattered in different heights, are arranged like a beautiful cluster of flowers.
Then, except Liu San who stayed, four maids stood in sequence behind the seats, each holding a pair of long chopsticks in their hands. There were also two other maids waiting beside the table with a Hot water, hand towels, etc. that need to be used or replaced at any time.
"Master Lu, ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready. Please take your seats." Liu San came outside the pavilion, bowed to Lu Zheng and others, and said respectfully.
Lu Zheng: ()
"I take back what I just said. The Capital Palace is indeed extraordinary. It's just me who is superficial." Lu Zheng said blankly.
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying couldn't help but laugh. Si Lingxi also shook her head and laughed. She stood up and said with a smile, "The face is indeed beautifully done, but I have also eaten at my imperial banquet once. Except for a few dishes that have some special characteristics." , most of the dishes are actually not as good as what you make casually."
Lu Zheng's craftsmanship was enhanced by the light of luck. His cooking skills were so exquisite that they were almost Taoist. How could an ordinary chef with just decades of experience compare to him?
"It's something fresh to eat, but just by looking at the dishes and taste, you can tell that there are a lot of ingredients in the palace's kitchen." Lu Zheng said with a smile, "If it doesn't suit your taste, I will borrow their kitchen tomorrow."
Several people sat down at the table with smiles. Lu Zheng became more interested and did not ask the maid to leave in a pretentious manner. Instead, he took the initiative to enjoy it.
I have to say that these maids are indeed the maids of the royal palace. Their looks are really good, and their service is just right. It makes people feel that it does not affect the rhythm of the experience, and it is very convenient and comfortable to eat.
His professionalism is much better than that of Haidilao. At least Haidilao sometimes makes Lu Zheng feel overly enthusiastic and a little awkward.
After eating, Lu Zheng took the mouthwash handed by the maid, rinsed his mouth, spit into the copper basin, then washed his hands in a new copper basin, and took the clean hand towel handed by the maid. Rub.
Then, Lu Zheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then put it on the tray that the maid held in front of him. He watched the waiter clear away the leftovers on the table and carry the big table to the back of the hall.
After only half a stick of incense, the hall changed back to its original appearance, and Lu Zheng was already sitting at the top of the hall, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.
Looking at the waiters and maids who saluted him and then left one after another, Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It's too extravagant... If I hadn't been successful in cultivation, I would have been corrupted..."
