Chapter 661: Becoming Famous

Chapter 662: Making a name for yourself

The maid placed the tray, the crystal clear fresh fish meat bloomed like a flash of ephemeral flower, and the colorful shark silk under the skirt was really eye-catching.

Liang Qu didn't expect to appear in such an occasion.

Fortunately, the hot pot was steaming, covering up his expression. After the initial embarrassment, the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The so-called thin ice silk is shining, the snow is greasy and crispy, the world is far less conservative than imagined.

Eat, eat!

Eat more and watch less!

[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]

[Refining Ze Ling: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 3.1%)]

[Water Ze Essence: 7,200]

In front of the copper pot.

Fireworks rolled.

Liang Qu was concentrating on eating meat.

The fish on the plate was definitely a good treasure fish.

As his power and status gradually increased, Liang Qu now had more unusual banquets. Most banquets would steam a precious fish, with essence ranging from dozens to hundreds, but the meal in front of him was definitely the richest one he had ever eaten!

In just a short moment, he absorbed no less than three thousand essences from the water!

The wolf smoke entered the hunting tiger, and the essence was consumed, just in time to replenish it.

And as the Holy Emperor said, eating until it was hot, taking off the coat, it really made people feel less restrained.

Naturally.

The main reason was that the Holy Emperor had no airs and had high conversation skills.

After a simple opening and a few jokes, he talked about the current situation, from age to recent situation, like a spring breeze.

Liang Qu answered whatever he had.

Lan Jicai stirred the sauce with chopsticks, glanced around, and was amazed.

There was nothing taboo.

There are two types of palace maids. One is ordinary maids who do rough work and have low status. The other is officials or even descendants of aristocratic families. They are knowledgeable and well-educated. They often accompany the princes or empresses. They can be selected as concubines or assigned to the sons of royal princes and ministers.

If there is any marriage with foreign races, they will also be selected and recognized as the goddaughters of the Holy Emperor.

The girls in front of them are undoubtedly the latter.

Liang Xiaozi avoided it too deliberately, and he was surprised by the rare things.

As they chatted.

The Holy Emperor suddenly said: "I see that your Yuanyang is not lost, good things, and you can be patient. Do you have a girl you like?"

Liang Qu thought for a while.

"I think so."

I think so?

Lan Jicai lifted the meatballs, showing dissatisfaction: "You kid, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, what do you mean by count it?"

The Holy Emperor guessed: "Dragon Girl?"

Liang Qu was surprised: "How did your Majesty know?"

"I climbed up to the Moon Viewing Tower and saw a tall woman on the boat. She was beautiful, but with such a height, she didn't look like a normal woman."

Lan Jicai suddenly realized: "The one called Long Eying? She is indeed beautiful, which is normal."

Liang Qu scratched his head.

"It's her. Maybe the boy's self-cultivation skills are not good enough, or the realm of cultivation is not enough. Sometimes when I see her wandering in front of me, I still have some instinctive impulses."

"You are a man, it is not normal to have impulses, this is love!"

Lan Jicai said with certainty.

"..."

The Holy Emperor nodded: "It is human nature to be attracted by each other's appearance. What does it have to do with self-cultivation? It is absolutely unacceptable for Yuan Yuwen to be so philandering, but there is no need to be too self-restrained. Let everything take its course. If you can marry the Dragon Girl, it will be a good thing for Dashun. I will personally grant the marriage."

Lan Jicai was puzzled: "Why, does she look down on you? It shouldn't be, your appearance and cultivation are not bad at all."

"It's not like she likes you or not. We are like superiors and subordinates. She does whatever I say."

Long Eying has a plain personality and rarely shows any expression in daily life.

Liang Qu practiced "Wansheng Baoyuan", and focused on self-cultivation. He never felt that there was anything wrong, and maintaining Yuanyang was also beneficial to the practice before the master.

Bang!

Lan Jicai slammed the table.

"Spend money on her! Women just love this. After dinner, I'll take you to the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, choose a Tiangong craftsman, and make a set of good jewelry by hand!"

"No, how can it be so vulgar?" The Holy Emperor shook his head, "Even if it is buried and useless, it can still be full of energy every night..."

"Your Majesty, you are often in the palace, you don't know the market outside, ahem, you don't know the situation outside, now the girls outside are very realistic..."

"Customs are the most important things in the world. I look at the world, Lan Qing is biased, you go to brothels less, and your perception will naturally be very different."

"Seeing the leopard in the tube..."

"The blind man touches the elephant!"

The Holy Emperor and Lan Jicai quarreled.

The steward standing by wanted to say something but stopped.

Lan Jicai is a frequent visitor to brothels, the Holy Emperor... In the entire harem, which concubine was pursued?

Just thinking for a while, the steward felt that he was even less qualified to give opinions, so he chose to keep silent.

Originally, a meal and chatting about family matters could be finished in less than an hour.

A small incident dragged on until midnight, and both parties were still excited and enthusiastic.

Liang Qu, the person involved, felt that the two were unreliable, and they listened with one ear and let it out with the other, leaning back against the chair.

[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]

[Shui Ze Essence: 66,400]

So cool!

During this period, the general manager saw that Liang Qu preferred fish and meat, so he asked the imperial kitchen to do its best and never stopped.

So much so that more than 60,000 essences were obtained from a hot pot meal!

20,000 essences plus 0.1, and another fusion degree of 0.3 was obtained.

The imperial kitchen is awesome!

It’s good to have a feast together.

Many feasts together.

Liang Qu had anticipated many situations before coming.

It may be difficult to predict the emperor’s heart, or he may be very nervous, but when it really comes, it is still beyond his expectations.

It’s really just eating.

Like ordinary people, he drinks tea with his mouth and eats meat with his mouth. He likes to chat, occasionally gossips, and is very interested in the emotional experiences of his ministers.

pity.

In the end, Lan Jicai and the Holy Emperor never reached a consensus. Not to mention breaking up on bad terms, it was because they were not in harmony with each other.

The manager quickly stepped forward to make peace and put an end to the farce.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. Mr. Liang has just broken through. It's better to go back and consolidate more. You should rest early and call the officials tomorrow morning to discuss the reward matters."

"That makes sense, that's it for tonight."

Let's have a feast.

When they arrived, Eunuch Li personally sent Liang Qu and Lan Jicai off.

"Your Majesty will definitely reward Mr. Liang with a house for such meritorious service. However, it's just a new arrival and there are no rules for everything. I wonder if you can find a place to stay? If not, I will send someone to arrange it. If there is, I will also send someone to send Mr. Liang there."

"Yes, it should be General Xu Wenzhu's office."

"Uncle Guanying?"

"right."

As he was about to leave the palace, Lan Jicai put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulders and twirled his goatee: "Boy, is that shark gauze available?"

"Mr. Lan wants it?"

"Is there any?"

"There should be a Huangzhou Xu family's shop in the imperial capital. If you go there and ask, just tell them that I recommended them. You should be able to get some in advance."

"Hey, you boy, you can come to Qintian Prison to see me if you have anything to do. I'm good at reading Feng Shui, predicting bad luck, and treasure hunting."

"It's time for Mr. Xie Lan to see you off."

Liang Qu is not stupid.

Lan Jicai's words at the dinner alone were definitely not what ordinary courtiers would do.

Being able to laugh and chat with the leader is not because the leader is friendly, but because Lan Jicai is capable and is mostly a confidant.

There is nothing wrong with building a good relationship.

"It's rare that I have free time. Do you want me to take you to buy jewelry? The Tianbo Merchant Building in the Imperial Capital has five floors. It's approaching the New Year and stays open until 12 o'clock. It's not what Pingyang Mansion can compare with."

"Forget it."

Liang Qu declined the offer.

"That's it, kid."

Outside the palace.

The cold wind blows directly into Liang Qu's robe, freezing away the scent of spices on Liang Qu's body.

The luxurious carriage was waiting outside the palace early, and an old man jumped out of the carriage.

"Eunuch Li!"

"Qin Family Prime Minister?"

"My dear, Qin Hongwei!" The old man clasped his fists, "By order of General Xu, I came here to take Young Master Liang back to his home."

"Just in time, Mr. Liang, the head of the Xu family, just get on the carriage."

"Thank you, Qin Family Manager."

"My lord please."

Gululu~

The wheels rolled over the stone slabs and went further and further away.

Liang Qu lifted the curtain, and countless eyes gathered from all directions.

Entering the capital in the evening, having a banquet with the emperor, and going out at midnight. These three things are like throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake, and the big waves will make people wet.

Don't say it.

Very cool!

Liang Qu breathed out hot air, and his eyes reflected orange light.

The winter in the Imperial Capital is much colder than that in Pingyang. Even if a drop of water turns into ice, it is almost the same. If you put a basin of water outside, it will freeze into thick ice in a few minutes.

However, as midnight approached, the boats on the Manjiang River stayed up all night, and many shops on both sides of the long street were still open.

"The scenery of the big city..." Liang Qu lowered the curtain, "Qin Family Prime Minister, what does General Xu like? It's the first time I'm here. I don't know what gifts to prepare."

"Harm, no need." Qin Hongwei waved his riding whip, "General Xu and Master Liang are called brothers, that is, they are children of the same family. The general gave instructions early in the morning that you will be treated as a courtesy when you arrive, and you must not stop on the road to spend money."

"Hahaha, do I take it seriously?"

"Old man, can't I trick you?"

Xu Mansion.

The lights are bright at night.

Recommended by his elder brother Yang Xu, Liang Qu visited General Xu and Duke Xu one by one.

Xu Wenzhu General Xu has a handsome appearance, a black robe with wide sleeves, and a short beard. He looks like an elegant and open-minded man. Duke Xu has a square face, thick eyebrows, broad shoulders, and is quite majestic.

The Duke's Mansion and the Xu Mansion were not in the same place, but tonight the two of them gathered together and praised them vigorously. However, due to the weather, the two did not communicate too much. They decided to have a banquet tomorrow to meet again and left separately.

Without the elders, the atmosphere was relaxed.

Senior brothers and sisters were surrounded.

"How is it? What does the Holy Emperor look like?"

"What reward did your Majesty give you? Is there a hereditary baron?"

"How many ranks have you been promoted to? Do you have a house? How many beautiful maids are there?"

Liang Qu shook his head one by one.

"Tonight is just a banquet. The specific reward needs to go through the process. We will know tomorrow."

"Nothing?"

"Sleep sleep."

After learning that there was no reward, everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Go back to the house.

Long Eying was lying on the Arhat bed, reading quietly. The moonlight shrouded her, and her whole body was as clear and shining as jade.

"Elder?"

"Nothing."

midnight.

Liang Qu put his hands on the back of his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a bit tranquil.

"You can be considered famous."
