"Everyone, try this "White Jade Imperial Concubine". It is smooth and smooth. It is cooked with the brains of the second-level spiritual beast, the three-color spiritual deer, and Qianqiu bean powder." The palace maid placed a jade carton on the table, and Li Chen stood up.
Introduction.
The jade bowl contained dishes like white jade tofu. The soup was clear and jade-colored. The palace maid served Liu Yu a small bowl. Liu Yu took a sip with a spoon. It was delicious, sweet and pure, with endless aftertaste. Other guests on the table also
They all opened their mouths to praise.
There were eight people sitting at Liu Yu's table. Except for Li Chen and his wife, the other five people, like Liu Yu, were disciples of the sect who went to "Bei Luan City".
, I haven’t even eaten much, and someone has asked the palace maid to serve another small bowl.
Eight first-grade medicinal dishes have been served on the table, including braised glazed rabbit meat, Baibao duck, braised milk mutton, etc., and "White Jade Princess" is the ninth medicinal meal. As a member of the Li family, Li Chen sits as the host and warmly entertains her at the table.
Attend everyone and invite them to eat and drink well.
Then four second-grade medicinal meals were served, and the finale was a "Tiger King Stewed Ginseng". A double tiger jade cauldron was put on the table by the young eunuch. The jade cauldron was one foot high, and the cauldron contained thick animal meat soup.
Large pieces of animal meat are piled up like hills, rotten and red, connected to the bones and muscles, and the milky white soup is emitting a strong aroma.
In an instant, the entire Imperial Dining Palace was filled with a strong aroma of meat. The guards standing guard outside the palace could not help but secretly swallow their saliva, thinking about what they were eating, it was so delicious.
"This "Tiger King Stewed Ginseng", everyone, please try it. It is made from the tiger meat, sinews and bones of the third-level spiritual beast Deep Forest Rock Tiger, plus several elixirs such as red ginseng that has been produced for more than three hundred years, and is stewed over high heat. It is very delicious.
Nourishing." Li Chen then stood up and introduced.
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, the maids took a step forward and placed several pieces of red and steaming tiger meat for everyone.
Liu Yu picked up a piece and took a big bite. The meat was mellow, tender and oily but not greasy. It was full of fragrance. He took a sip of the thick soup. The aroma of ginseng and the meat gave him a feeling of ecstasy. Such a delicious dish.
, everyone couldn’t help but feast, their mouths were full of oil.
At this time, a group of people walked in through the gate of Yushan Palace. The middle-aged man walking at the front had a majestic and wealthy face. He was wearing a golden five-clawed dragon robe and a purple gold crown with beads in his hair. He looked very majestic.
The man was holding on his arm a gorgeous and graceful woman wearing a flying phoenix tunic, a purple peony and auspicious brocade skirt, an upturned bun, and a gold phoenix hairpin inserted sideways.
"Chang'er, come here quickly." Li Yuanfang stood up and shouted. Two men and women in gorgeous clothes walked through the lobby with smiles on their faces and quickly came to the main table.
"Brothers and sisters, Chang'er is the current king of Yue, and Xi'er next to him is his wife." Li Yuanfang introduced Shangguan Ming and others.
"I have seen all the real people, I am so polite," Li Chang, the king of Yue Kingdom, took his wife Wu Shuixi and saluted Shangguan Ming and others.
"Your Majesty, Queen, you're welcome." Bai Yucheng returned the courtesy on behalf of everyone. There were only seven people sitting at this table, and except for Li Yuanfang himself, they were all distinguished guests.
"I'm very grateful to all you gentlemen for coming to the banquet. I'd rather do it first to show my respect!" Li Chang took the maid's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Easy to say!" Bai Yucheng and others stood up and drank the wine in their hands.
"My little daughter Wu Shuixi, I have met all the real people. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Wu Shuixi said respectfully with a smile on her face.
"Thank you! Queen." Bai Yucheng and others drank another drink.
"Chang'er, take Wu'er and say hello to each table, then go back to the palace first!" Li Yuanfang said.
"Second great-grandfather, Chang'er knows." Li Chang replied respectfully.
King Li Chang of Yue State and his wife Wu Shuixi went to toast one by one. After one round, they left the Imperial Dining Palace. The banquet was still going on, with laughter and laughter.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is sent back to the palace." The guards outside the palace shouted in unison.
Li Chang walked out of the Imperial Dining Palace, sat on the royal chariot, put away the smile on his face, sighed, and looked a little depressed.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Wu Shuixi said softly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Li Chang closed his eyes and said.
"Get up and go back to Changle Palace!" an old eunuch shouted loudly. The long dragon chariot, escorted by many palace maids and guards, marched forward mightily, looking extremely beautiful.
Li Chang in the dragon chariot knew that these were just superficial appearances. Although he was the king of Yue, he did not have the power to control the world.
Although he is the king of a country, he is just an ordinary person like thousands of people. Although he was born in the Li family, a famous and powerful cultivation family, he has no spiritual roots and has lost his pursuit.
Qualification for immortality.
Li Chang's parents are both foundation-building monks. His eldest brother and third sister also have spiritual roots, and their current cultivation levels are not low. Only he was born as a mortal.
Li Chang is a direct descendant of the Li family with pure blood. His great-grandfather Li Yuanxing is a contemporary of the Li family and a late-stage cultivator of the foundation. His second great-grandfather Li Yuanfang is also a late-stage cultivator of the foundation.
Li Chang's uncle, after the death of the previous Yue Emperor, he was pushed to the throne because of his blood.
The past emperors of Yue were all direct descendants of the family and had no spiritual roots. This is the clan rule of the Li family. Cultivators cannot inherit the throne. It is said that the situation is the same in the entire Dongyuan realm. Cultivators cannot become the king of a country, at least in Yunzhou.
In the thirty-sixth kingdom, the kings are all mortals.
Li Changgui is the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the entire court is ostensibly loyal to him, but the person who actually controls the court is a cultivator from the Li family who is loyal to Huang Shengzong. He is just a puppet and does not have much power.
The entire Li family is divided into two lines. The first line is those who possess spiritual roots and devote themselves to cultivation to enhance the strength of the family.
One group is those without spiritual roots. These people enter the court as officials, serve the family, and at the same time enjoy worldly glory and wealth. In fact, the powerful families in every country also adopt this same approach.
Li Chang was extremely unwilling. He was born into a cultivator family with such pure blood, and his parents were high-level monks in the foundation-building period. He was born without spiritual roots. It was so unfair for God to give him such a big chance.
Just a joke.
Even though he became the king of Yue and was respected by all the people, Li Chang was still depressed and had no spiritual roots. He would be a withered skeleton in a hundred years. What's the use of this throne?
"Your Majesty, don't look for trouble." Wu Shuixi grabbed Li Chang's hand and persuaded her. She has been married to Li Chang for so many years, so she naturally knows what Li Chang is thinking and the unwillingness in Li Chang's heart.
"Xi'er, it's okay for my husband." Li Chang took a deep breath and said. Just now, the Yushan Palace and his entourage revealed the scars in his heart. In fact, Li Chang had already accepted his fate.
"Xi'er, thank you for giving birth to Xi'er for me." Li Chang grabbed the queen's hand and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do." Wu Shuixi said shyly.
Li Chang married dozens of concubines in his harem and gave birth to many children, but they were all mortal, which made Li Chang extremely disappointed.
Wu Shuixi, Li Chang's first wife and the Queen of Yue Kingdom, had been infertile for more than ten years after being married. Until five years ago, she gave birth to a prince named Li Xu for Li Chang. After testing, he was found to be a third-line spirit.
Root, for a moment Li Chang was so happy that he went crazy.
Now Li Xu is receiving the basic enlightenment of cultivation in the clan's internal school. His son Li Xu has naturally become the unwilling support in Li Chang's heart. Li Xu will carry Li Chang's lifelong expectations and embark on the path of cultivating immortality.
