When the Louvre meets the Forbidden City

In the capital, go back to the Wild Goose Tower.

This is one of the best restaurants in the capital. It is said that it was owned by a slave in Prince Kang's mansion, and the owner behind it is Prince Kang.

The dishes provided in the restaurant are exquisite and complex, with ingredients that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water.Generally, as long as the guests can think of it, they will do it.And the craftsmanship is authentic and the taste is attractive.

Therefore, the dignitaries in the capital will invite their colleagues and friends to sit down when they have the opportunity.

In the Tianzihao private room on the third floor, a young man with luxurious clothes and an extraordinary bearing sat at this moment.

The young man is not very young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but his manner is graceful, and all the attendants he brings are also very dignified, he is not from ordinary people.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant receives all kinds of powerful officials and dignitaries in the capital every day, and his vision is very extraordinary. When this distinguished guest just stepped in the door, he recognized it at a glance. The one who respectfully led the young man in was the current head of the imperial guard, Duo. Lord Long.

He clicked his tongue secretly, not daring to say any more nonsense, just widened his eyes and pricked up his ears, and led the two smartest guys to go into battle in person, serving carefully.

After Duolong settled down the young man, he left the restaurant, and brought in another young man of about the same age after a while.This time the attitude was not as respectful as before, but it was much more intimate. The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing while walking.

This young man is Wei Xiaobao, he asked Duolong to bring a message to Kangxi, saying that there was an important matter before he left and he needed to meet with Sheng Mizuo, Kangxi arranged for him to sneak back to the capital and come to this restaurant to meet him.

The reason for this arrangement is because His Majesty also wanted to experience the fun of private visits in micro-services and intimate contact with people in restaurants in the market.

As for this restaurant, which is not allowed to enter unless the rich and powerful, and once he sat in the restaurant, from the entrance to the downstairs, and even on the street outside, he was surrounded by no less than two hundred plainclothes guards arranged by Duolong, and the suspected flies were all around. Not being able to fly into one, and really not having the slightest appearance of secretly connecting with others, these are not within the scope of the little emperor Kangxi's consideration.

Duolong led Wei Xiaobao to the door of Tianzihao private room on the third floor, and said respectfully, "Master, someone brought it here."

A clear voice sounded from inside, "Let him in."

Duolong pushed open the door and gestured 'please' to Wei Xiaobao, who bowed his head and went in.Duolong closed the door gently behind him again, and brought several imperial guards in plain clothes to guard the outside in person.

Kangxi was the only person sitting in the room, and there were several elegant side dishes and a pot of wine on the table in front of him.

Wei Xiaobao went straight to Kangxi, bent down, and very lightly pulled up Kangxi's palm.

Kangxi realized when he brought his hand to his lips and was about to kiss him, and hurriedly withdrew it, "Don't kiss me indiscriminately! Hurry up and put away your Western devils! It's neither fish nor fowl."

Wei Xiaobao was slightly startled, "How does the emperor know that this is Western style?"

Kangxi glared at him, "I asked Nan Huairen, and Nan Huairen said that this is the etiquette for Westerners when they meet their emperors. Hmph, I didn't expect you to have the thought to prepare such a new way of flattering people. It's weird. Some, I was taken aback last time. Did you learn it when you went to Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Wei Xiaobao followed suit and admitted, "Yes, I think Xiyang's etiquette is very good."

Kangxi chimed, "What's the matter, I heard from Nan Huairen that not only kisses with hands, but also kisses with cheeks, and kisses between men are the same. Damn it, it's so disgusting!"

Wei Xiaobao straightened his face, thinking how the little emperor spoke so vulgarly, logically speaking, he was born in the royal family, so he should be well-educated.

It never occurred to him that Kangxi would talk like "I...how..." and "fucking...how..." only when he was in front of him, and most of them were learned from him.

Corrected, "It won't be disgusting, this is a noble etiquette, just get used to it. You see, it's like this." Demonstrated by himself, stepped forward to hold Kangxi's shoulders, and kissed him lightly on the left and right cheeks , Said it was a kiss, but it was actually just a gesture of touch.

"You, you, you..." The little emperor leaned back together, almost turning over without the person and the chair.Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaobao actually stepped forward to demonstrate it just by saying it casually, he was so dumbfounded that he forgot to dodge, and pointed at him, "You are too presumptuous!"

Wei Xiaobao took two steps back, bowed slightly, and explained nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, appease your anger. This is a western etiquette, and all educated people will use it. It is a sign of respect, not presumptuousness."

In fact, most of this kissing ceremony should be done by the elders to the juniors, or by the high-status to the low-status. Wei Xiaobao understood that even if Kangxi asked Nan Huairen, he would not be able to understand the details, so he became the gift giver confidently.

Since Wei Xiaobao's attitude was so calm, Kangxi would not be able to reprimand him any longer. He felt that since even Xiao Guizi didn't care about it, and thought it was just a difference in customs and it was no big deal, then if he caught him in surprise again If you try hard to say it, it is unavoidable that you are not familiar with it.

Sitting still, he wiped his face with the back of his hand. He still felt numb and thorny all over his body. He asked doubtfully, "When you were in the Raksha Kingdom, did you kiss people like this every day? I heard What else is there to kiss your face, it is said that most of the Western devils have big beards, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to meet them?"

"If you're afraid of such a disadvantage, then grow your own beard and compare it with him when you stick it to your face, and see whose beard is harder, thicker and more piercing."

Kangxi thought of the scene of two bearded beards embracing and pricking each other, and suddenly burst out laughing, "You are the only one who is more weird."

After talking nonsense with Wei Xiaobao, he was in a very good mood and had a happy smile on his face.

Wei Xiaobao still shook his head greatly in his heart, and gave him a "pertinent" evaluation: Although the emperor of China is majestic, he is too closed, has little knowledge, and is easy to make a fuss about everything.

Even if the current era is earlier, there is no need to be so closed and conservative.

He could probably estimate that this era was about 100 years earlier than when he swept across Europe and expedition to Egypt. Peter the Great of Russia had just succeeded to the throne, which belonged to an earlier era.

Kangxi didn't know whether Wei Xiaobao secretly classified him as an 'uninformed' idiot, so he got back to business, "Finally, you have to send me a message from Tuo Duolong. What's the important thing if you have to see me once before you leave Beijing? report?"

Wei Xiaobao believed that if he wanted to do something in a war, he should be the commander, and he didn't want to be a small spy, so before leaving, he had to talk to the little emperor clearly, lest he suddenly leave Chen Jinnan and return to the capital on his own initiative in a few days. blame.
