In fact, the author Junben intends to write about the situation of the bathing pool seriously, and then describe the characters, but after reading a certain novel, he knows that if he writes about the bathing pool in too much detail, he will be warned, so the author from Congxin dare not write in too much detail.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 44 The Celebration of the Commoners

The soothing music is singing the praises of the harvest, and the passionate music is singing the deeds of heroes.Holding hands, Shirley and Adalia walked down the common street together.As a member of the royal family, she also bears the responsibility of having fun with the people at this time.

"I kind of understand why you are so loved here by the people." Seeing the people excitedly waving at Adalia, and thinking about how the two princes were so resistant to coming to the common area to appease the people look.Shirley understood why Adalia was loved by so many people.

"I'm just doing what a royal family should do, nothing else." With one hand, he returned the salute to the common people, and with the other, he held Shirley's little hand tightly to prevent the crowd from dispersing the two of them.

"There is a famous bard over there singing the latest story, do you want to go and listen to it?"

"A bard?" Shirley thought for a while. She probably wouldn't sing about her fight against the orcs in the northern border in the imperial capital.She is very interested in the epics sung by other bards, such as the heroes of the past.

"Then go and listen."

"Well, let's go together. It's in the tavern in front. Maybe we can meet some acquaintances."

Adalia smiled and took Shirley's hand, leading her to the tavern not far ahead.

Although it is a tavern in a civilian area, great efforts have been made in hygiene. The clean tables and chairs will not make people feel uncomfortable when sitting on them.

Pushing open the door, Adalia's appearance made the originally lively tavern quiet for a moment, and then a burst of cheers shook the entire tavern.

"Grand... Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness came to the tavern to drink, oh oh oh..."

"So, why does coming to a tavern cause such a big commotion?"

Shirley looked at the excited drunkards beside her, feeling full of trouble, but didn't know how to vomit.

Adalia was no stranger to this situation, and led Shirley to a quiet corner, but this place was already filled with empty wine glasses.A blond woman was sitting on the seat, holding a wooden wine glass and drinking heavily.

"Yeah... It's really refreshing. On a day like this, you have to drink heavily to feel refreshed."

After drinking heroically, she wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve. Landiris looked at two young girls, one big and one small, sitting across from her with drunk eyes and frivolous eyes.

"Why is Your Highness the Princess here? Be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble to your guards."

"The law and order in the imperial capital is quite good, but this is the founding ceremony, why does our beautiful God of War secretly drink here alone. I remember that the emperor should invite you to the imperial city to attend the banquet."

Covering her mouth and chuckling, Adalia ordered two glasses of juice with a pleasant face. After all, as a princess drinking in the civilian area, she would become a target in the hands of some nobles, and Shirley was not old enough to allow her to drink.

"Drinking in the imperial city is not as enjoyable as drinking here. Shirley, let's have a toast. I have always wanted to thank you for helping me through this difficult time. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Two big wooden wine glasses touched each other, Shirley happily accepted Landiris' thanks, and took a big gulp of the slightly sweet juice. Although it was not as good as the juice in her previous life, it was better than natural.

"Tch, thank you and didn't even order a gift, and you didn't even enter the door, so you have the nerve to say thank you here?"

"Ahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I also saw that Miss Shirley was too uncomfortable being surrounded by those nobles at that time, so I didn't dare to disturb her, or I would have visited her long ago."

Putting my palms together above my head, I made a gesture of apologizing, which caused Shirley to chuckle.

"Since it's an apology, I'll do something, Xiao Yin, and have two more iced juices, and charge it to my account."

After greeting the girl in the old skirt, Landiris went on to say: "A bard will come to sing in a while, and it's a different feeling to sing with the bard when drinking. Ah, you feel the same when you drink fruit juice. We'll know when the time comes."

Just as he was talking, a man wearing a long white umbrella came out from the inside, fiddled with the lyre in his hand, and the melodious and clear voices rang in everyone's ears.

The sound of the bell is surging, like a clear spring, like a breeze, refreshing and pleasing to the heart.The singing sounded, and the gorgeous movement unfolded the story.

Looking at Adalia and Landiris who were listening with gusto, Shirley was fidgeting. It was okay at the beginning, but it was just a normal beginning, but the development after that was not right. Death in battle was the beginning of the conspiracy.

"The so-called, who will bear the danger of the territory, who stands on the battlefield with a young figure, and stands on the battlefield with a spear and a horse, and the soldiers of thousands of miles are high-spirited. The northern orcs have disputes, and the refugees who are fleeing will be safe. If the heart is exquisite, feel the suffering of the people, and save people. . . . . ”

Well. . . .I can't listen to it any longer, and it's getting more and more awkward. By the way, is this really a bard? Why are you talking about me again.

Shirley, who was covering her head, felt that she was dying in the society, especially when she saw Adalia and Landeris listening so relish, she felt her face heating up crazily.

"Little girl, is there something wrong with this? I think it's pretty good."

He picked up the juice with a smile, took a big sip, and then clinked a glass with the friend in front of him.

"Do it, for our little lord."

"What is there to say? Although I sent troops, I also gained a large territory. Moreover, those refugees also came to my territory. I can't really drive them away. We are all Fife People from the Nier Empire."

If you want to talk about refugees abroad, you have to think about it. After all, there are lessons learned from the past. For example, some Notre Dame countries would rather make the country's security worse than make refugees happy.She wouldn't do that.

"That's better than many nobles. Now many bards from the northern border will write these deeds into poems to praise. To be honest, sometimes these things are praised by the common people faster than you defeat those envoys in the martial arts arena. Much faster."

"Well...then forgive me, I don't want to hear my own story every time I hear this kind of bard."

Looking at Shirley who was holding her head, Landiris shook her head slightly after she had just finished speaking, "You should get used to it in the future, when I led the army west to block the attack of the Saint Leadman Empire, it was the same, victory Afterwards, it was publicized in various ways, even now, there are still many bards singing it. After getting used to it, it will be better than anything else. Come, have a drink, this is a good time to drink."

After speaking, before Shirley raised her glass, she gulped down the wine in her glass.

Seeing this bold drinking, Shirley didn't know for a while whether to persuade her to drink less, or to envy her such a bold way of drinking.

"You should also drink less, drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health. Shirley and I have other things to do, so we will go back first, and you should go to the imperial city earlier, so don't stay outside for too long."

"It's okay, it's okay, stay with your little sister, I don't need to worry about it here."

Waving at Princess Adalia, Randy Reese, who looked bored, picked up the wine glass again, and took a big sip.

Listening to the "Yaha..." Princess Adalia said to Shirley: "Have you seen her, you can't learn from her in the future, you know."

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 45 Royal Banquet

Shirley could see clearly what the common people were playing in today's celebration. The delicious food along the street, the juggling on the road, and the children's playfulness would always make the corners of her lips curl up uncontrollably.

"Shirley, wait a minute and look at this."

Adalia took Shirley's hand, held her back, and then picked up a very delicate hairpin from a small booth beside her. Although it was not as gorgeous as theirs, it was better than the exquisite handmade hairpin. .

"Ah, it's Your Royal Highness. If you like this hairpin, I can give it to you. No money is required."

Seeing that it was the princess who stopped in front of the stall, the middle-aged woman with a somewhat thin face quickly took out the hairpin that the princess liked, and the nobles took things from their stalls and returned the money. Will be held hostage by the nobles.Who knows if it will be settled after the fall.It is even more unworthy to offend the princess for a hairpin.

"How can this work? The head hairpin is very well made, and I like it very much. This silver coin should be regarded as the head hairpin's money."

Forcibly stuffing the silver coin into the middle-aged woman's hand, she inserted the hairpin carved from an unknown wood into Xue Li's white hair.The gray-brown hairpin and silver-white long hair complement each other, adding a bit of cuteness to Shirley.

"Well, it suits you very well, just wear it like this."

He was about to raise his hand to take off the hairpin, but saw Adalia's eyes filled with admiration, and finally resisted not to take it off, since it's not heavy anyway, so he just put it on like this.

Watched juggling, drank fruit juice, bought clothes, and even kicked the descendants of nobles who are here to show their presence here. Time also passed by a little bit in the middle, and soon the sun was setting, and the common people were also in the carnival of the day Ready to go home.

But for Adalia of the royal family and Shirley of the noble family, now is the beginning of the celebration.During the day, the emperor led his ministers and nobles to worship the ancestors to declare the legitimacy of his throne, and then gave a passionate speech in the imperial city.

Finally, I met all the ministers and nobles in the hall and listened to their declaration of allegiance.Originally Shirley thought that she would also need to go, but was stopped by Adalia, because she had already been beaten into the royal family in the eyes of outsiders at this time, and she didn't need to swear an oath at all.And the father also felt that it was too boring there, and felt sorry for Shirley, so he didn't ask her to be like the nobles.

"Sister Adalia, is it really okay if I don't show up for a day? Those nobles won't..."

"No, everyone knows your situation. You can't let a member of the royal family swear allegiance to the royal family again. What is this called, I am loyal to myself?"

Regarding Shirley's concerns, Adalia didn't take it seriously at all. She is her own younger sister, who has been certified by the current emperor and empress. Who has any objections?

Adalia, who had brought Shirley to the imperial city, was not worried about Shirley's worries at all. In other words, in her eyes, even if the power of the royal family was divided up by the dukes in various places, it was still the entire empire. The most powerful existence.I don't worry at all that those nobles will make trouble for Shirley's identity.

"Hey, isn't this Earl Shirley? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm so cute again."

When entering the noble hall, Earl Wood was the first to speak to Shirley. He was a strong man holding a plate full of barbecue in one hand and a fork in the other hand, talking with the other nobles. It seemed particularly out of place.

"Uncle Wood, you are eating here again, be careful that those nobles call you stupid again."

"Let's talk about it, and you won't lose a piece of meat. Besides, you will have the strength to talk and work when you are full. If you are hungry for the so-called etiquette, whoever feels uncomfortable will know."

"Take it, don't be like those nobles, you want to save face and suffer, you don't know you're hungry if you don't eat for a day, and you still have time to talk there."

"Wood, don't keep teaching bad children. Earl Shirley is not very old, and it's time to learn aristocratic etiquette. How can I be like you, a reckless man, who only wants to eat meat and drink every day."

After saluting Princess Adalia, the Duke of Belize glanced at Earl Wood, who was still eating barbecue.

"Uncle Wood also has a true temperament, much better than those villains who are obedient and obedient."

"That's right, that's right, my lord duke, you just like to talk about the etiquette that you have and don't have, can that thing be enough to eat, can it make the people live a good life, it doesn't work, so you don't care what to do. "

"Earl Shirley, don't listen to Wood's nonsense. The so-called aristocratic etiquette is mainly to regulate the behavior of the aristocrats. Just imagine, if the aristocrats are not restrained by etiquette, what will happen to ordinary people?" What a disaster."

The bottomless operation of the privileged class?Shirley blinked her eyes. She didn't believe all of Belize's words, but she believed some of them, just like what Confucius said back then.

It sounds unreasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. After all, the era was there at that time, and the ancients cannot be required to use modern thinking to consider and solve problems.

"Yes, yes, as far as you civil servants think a lot, Shirley's family is also from a martial arts family, so why do you care so much..."

"Earl Wood, be careful, Earl Shirley is now considered half of the royal family. If you say that, your Majesty will be involved."

Earl Wood was taken aback by the stern voice, and then he realized that the Shirley at this time was very different from the previous one, not only representing herself outside, but also representing a part of the royal family.

"But, I also want to eat some barbecue."

Blinking and blinking, Shirley looked at Earl Wood's big mouthfuls of meat, and she was also very greedy, just like seeing those serious food bloggers, she felt hungry when she saw it.

"Okay, I'll cut a piece for you."

She nodded Shirley's forehead amusedly, and Adalia invited the Duke of Belize to go to the dining table together.

"Miss, we have been notified that the second prince seems to be very dissatisfied with your distribution of salt, so he specially invited Earl Bod to his mansion. Considering that Earl Bod has been hiring mercenaries recently. They are likely to It will be detrimental to your territory."

The nobles all have their own intelligence network. As long as they are willing to investigate this kind of matter, they will naturally investigate clearly. After learning the news, the first reaction of the Duke of Belize was to think about whether to inform Shirley, but Under the idea of ​​seeking wealth and insurance, he still quietly informed Xue Li of this information.Let her be prepared in advance. As for the battle, it depends on her own performance.

Nobles will not make a deal with a loser. If you want to make a deal with them, you have to show your strength.And this time, it is an opportunity to show their strength.

It comes from "Book of Rites", which is a typical feudal dross, but combined with the context, it should be cumbersome etiquette and should not be followed by ordinary people. That would bring a burden to the common people, but on the contrary, in terms of punishment, when the nobles observe the etiquette, the punishment will be different from that of ordinary people, and it is necessary to leave some dignity for the nobles.

Well, the author will give a general explanation here, lest someone think that this sentence is directly dross, and then they don't know where it went wrong.

Sometimes I really feel that it is not necessary to take the meaning out of context, otherwise why would there be a word that repays grievances with virtue.How to repay grievances with virtue, how to repay grievances with straightness, repay virtues with virtues

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 46 Trouble Coming?

"Xue Li, I will help you explain it to the second brother. I don't think the second brother will really target you."

I heard that those nobles would find the second prince to target Shirley. Even though Adalia had always been calm, at this moment, she began to panic.She never thought that her second brother would target Shirley because of the distribution of salt.

Although there is dissatisfaction in her heart, with Xue Li, she still has to appease Xue Li's mood first. As for whether to physically persuade or talk about it later, that is her business.

"Don't be angry. In fact, this is quite normal. If they target me, they must go through the royal family, so there is nothing wrong with looking for the second prince. Besides, the second prince has not publicly supported them."

Regarding this matter, Shirley could see clearly that among the royal family, only the princess, the emperor, and the empress expressed goodwill to her, and the two princes, who may have fallen out with the dukes themselves, did not openly object to her. Because of the emperor's face, otherwise, these two people would have openly put pressure on themselves.

It's just that the more indifferent Shirley is, the more tormented Adalia's heart is. In her eyes, it is her own people who are looking for trouble for her own people, and her two imperial brothers are trying to make their loved ones and enemies happy again. .

"No, I'll have a good talk with Brother Huang later, this matter can't just be left alone."

"Hey, who has offended our dear sister again, why do we have to talk about it?"

Holding a wine glass, the eldest prince, who was full of peaceful smiles, appeared in front of Adalia, and gracefully handed the plate in his hand to Xue Li.

"I saw you eating barbecue just now. Come and taste this. I asked the kitchen to bake it for you. Let's see how it tastes."

The golden roasted meat exudes a strong aroma, Shirley doesn't know, but Adalia, as a royal family, also dabbles in some aspects.

"Brother, this is a mountain lamb from the Saint Leadman Empire, right? Even in the Saint Leadman Empire, this is a high-end food that is priceless and has no market. Where did you get it?"

"Hey, where can I get it? It was given to me by the fourth prince of the St. Lideman Empire. I didn't see that Shirley likes it, so I ordered someone to find it from home, and then asked the back chef to give it to me. Does she bake it and taste it. How, how does it taste."

"Well, it's delicious." Although he knew that the first prince came here for impure purposes, but he thought it was because of the second prince's affairs. After all, an enemy's enemy is a friend. As the royal family, this point is very clear.

"Haha, as long as you like it."

"Is it okay? The mountain sheep are grown in the high mountains. What they eat is the alpine aiqing grass, and what they drink is the snowmelt water from the snow-capped mountains. This kind of sheep has never been successfully bred so far. It can only be hunted in the mountains, which also leads to the extreme scarcity of this kind of sheep.”

Seeing her royal brother's understatement, Adalia can only help Shirley explain the basic situation of this kind of sheep. Such a small piece of lamb can be sold for several silver coins.

Looking at the mutton that can only take up half of the plate, Adalia can only say that her brother is bleeding heavily, and this kind of mutton can be displayed as long as it is placed on the table.

"Little sister, what you say will make Shirley feel bad for her. Besides, this meat is meant to be eaten, so it doesn't matter what to do with it. Come on, you need red wine to eat mutton, but Shirley is young, she just drinks it." Have some grape juice."

He picked up a bottle of grape juice from the table and helped Shirley fill it up, and then an attendant came to the eldest prince and whispered something in his ear, and the eldest prince immediately showed a look of astonishment.

"He must be crazy. How can it be at this time... Ah, I'm sorry, Shirley, sister, I left in a hurry."

While speaking, the eldest prince left in a hurry. Seeing such a strange scene, Shirley and Adalia couldn't help but look at each other, completely unaware of what kind of medicine the eldest prince was selling in the gourd.

However, after he left, he did something good. The meat was very delicious. Shirley ate the mutton on the plate beautifully.
