Chapter 546 Palace Banquet
The coronation ceremony was finally completed and everyone felt relieved.
Next up is the dinner.
No one is allowed to bring family members to the registration event, and they are not allowed to bring family members. However, family members must be brought to the dinner.
The family members had already been waiting in front of the palace gate, just waiting to be called into the palace.
It’s a good day for everyone to celebrate, and it’s lively when there are many people.
The dinner was arranged by Su Yue. She called all the chefs from Heaven and Earth to help in the imperial kitchen, and of course she also provided the ingredients.
After lunch, we prepare for dinner.
The dinner was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The tables, chairs and benches were all ready, but there was no food or drinks.
The dinner started at 3 p.m., and at the very beginning, fruits, cakes and tea were served one after another.
No one had had a drop of water from morning till now. When they saw these people coming up, they first drank a lot of water. After drinking the water, they felt like they were alive.
"Ah, the tea is so delicious!"
A minister couldn't help but sigh after drinking a cup of tea.
"This tea is really different. It tastes much better than the tea I have at home."
Some ministers quickly agreed.
"Yeah, this fruit is sweet too."
“This cake is delicious too.”
"Ah, the fruits, cakes, and tea are the same as those in Heaven and Earth, hahahaha... The Emperor invited all the chefs from Heaven and Earth here."
One of the ministers immediately realized that these were the same things as those in heaven and on earth.
When the ministers who had never been there heard that it was the same as heaven on earth, they became excited and started to eat it as well.
Some ladies and young ladies even became impolite.
To be honest, the food I usually eat at banquets is not as good as what I make at home. It looks exquisite but doesn’t taste that good.
But it’s different in Heaven on Earth, that’s where rich people go to eat.
I heard that a meal there would cost at least a hundred or so taels of silver.
Some minor officials only have a monthly salary of ten taels, and they really can't afford to eat out even if they have a hundred taels.
There is free food here, you must try it.
When Qin Shang and his son, who were sitting in the front row, drank the tea, their eyes lit up and they immediately understood why the ministers said the tea was delicious. This tea was full of spiritual energy.
The EQ father and son lost their composure and quickly drank a few more sips. Things with spiritual energy were rare, and the Western Phoenix Emperor actually used them to entertain these ordinary people. It was such a waste of resources.
Qin Shang and his son wanted to buy all the tea in the hall and take it home to drink slowly.
Qin Xuan quietly asked Qin Shang: "Father, this tea..."
"Don't say anything. We just need to know it in our hearts. You have to understand that it's not surprising that he was able to gather ten spiritual medicines for us, so he also had this spiritual tea."
Qin Shang quickly scolded Qin Xuan not to ask any further, as curiosity was the killer. After drinking the tea, he was certain that Murong Li must have his own spiritual medicine garden, otherwise he would not be able to gather the ten spiritual herbs in such a short time, let alone produce this kind of spiritual tea.
He said before that it was planted by a friend, but it is clearly his own.
As for having spiritual medicine but not practicing, there are probably two situations. One is that the spiritual medicine is not mature and cannot be made into pills. The other is that there are spiritual medicines and attack methods, but there is no alchemist.
When he met Qingyuan, the problem of the elixir was resolved, which also explains why Murong Li's cultivation level soared so quickly.
This is the result of long-term accumulation.
Although the spiritual energy in this continent is very thin, there are still some places with spiritual energy, they just haven't found it.
Some people even took out these spiritual teas to entertain them even though they knew that there were two monks like them, which shows that they are not afraid of them at all.
Moreover, after witnessing Murong Li's methods today, they were still frightened.
They had originally thought of using their numbers to force Murong Li and the other two to retreat, but they hadn't expected their cultivation to soar so quickly. Now, they shouldn't even think about it. After dinner, they should just go back and practice in their own lair without any other thoughts.
When I have that strength, I will leave this continent and look for the real continent of cultivation.
If you come to cause trouble for them, you will definitely be seeking death.
They have worked hard to extend their lives for hundreds of years, and now they have broken through to the Qi Refining Stage. If they do not cherish their lives, all the hard work of the past few hundred years will be in vain.
If you want to fight or compete, it’s not here, but in the cultivation continent.
Qin Xuan was immediately scolded by Qin Shang, and he immediately stopped talking and slowly drank his tea.
Murong Li and his son were unaware of the actions of the father and son. They had both changed into casual clothes in the evening and were busy at this time.
Murong Li was busy entertaining the newly appointed ministers and the key ministers in the court, taking the opportunity to strengthen their relationships.
Su Yue was busy with the dinner. There were no less than a hundred tables at the banquet tonight, and it was also a banquet to celebrate Murong Li's coronation, so there could be no mistakes.
Even when the eldest lady and her companions came, there was no time to greet them.
It wasn't until the main course arrived that she had time to sit down.
Neither of them liked anything fancy, nothing interesting to watch, so they just skipped the singing and dancing performances.
Before the banquet began, Murong Li raised his wine glass and said to everyone, "Today is my coronation ceremony. The whole world is celebrating. Everyone here should eat and drink well tonight."
"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress, congratulations to the Empress, long live the Emperor, long live the Empress, a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Except for the envoys from the three countries who stood to congratulate, the rest of the people all knelt on the ground and performed the kneeling ceremony.
"Stand up, everyone, eat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone thanked him, they stood up and sat down to eat.
The banquet on the table was filled with the most famous dishes of Tianshangrenjian.
When everyone saw these dishes, they almost drooled. When they heard the emperor call for food, everyone couldn't wait to eat.
Except for Qin Shang and his son, it is estimated that more than half of the people present have tasted the delicious food from Tianshangrenjian. When they tasted it again, they wanted to swallow their tongues.
When Qin Shang and his son ate those dishes, they found that these dishes contained spiritual energy. The father and son were extremely surprised. There were so many things with spiritual energy. Where did Murong Li and his son get them?
But they really didn't have the courage to ask.
At another table next to them, Princess Zhaoyang was eating while glancing at the stage, at the noble and domineering Murong Li.
She touched Prince Beifeng with her hand and whispered to him, "Brother Prince, you can mention this to the Emperor now."
"What?"
"A marriage between two countries?"
"You want this prince to bring it up at this banquet?"
Princess Zhaoyang pouted and said, "Why not? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to bring up the idea of establishing friendly relations between the two countries, Qin and Jin, at this banquet? He's so happy about the Western Phoenix Emperor ascending the throne today, he'll definitely agree."
