It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 76 This is called stingy

However, it should be said that the King of Renliuchuan had no airs at all. When he saw Shangguan Yunchuan and the others, he warmly greeted them.

"Brother Yunchuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I am really touched to be a guest of Rukawa Kingdom again this time, especially since you came as soon as you said you would come, and you brought so many things. I'm really sorry." King Rukawa Kingdom smiled.

On the way here, Shangguan Yunchuan gave Jiang Simian a brief introduction to the basic situation of the King of Ruchuan.

The King of Rukawa, Yan Sen, ascended the throne five years ago. After taking the throne, he carried out drastic rectification of the entire Rukawa Kingdom. The most important one was to delete all unnecessary banquet etiquette, comprehensively reduce royal expenses, and replenish the national treasury in case of emergencies. needs.

Jiang Simian also sighed, "Actually, the King of Ruchuan may not be really picky. Didn't they say it was for the sake of emergencies? It must be for the sake of the people."

Shangguan Yunchuan shook his head, "He is really stingy."

"Judging from the fact that he has been on the throne for so many years, there have been border turmoils or natural and man-made disasters in the Ruchuan Kingdom, but no matter what extent, they have not reached the level that Yan Sen said was needed. Therefore, all countries who know the situation have concluded that , he is really stingy."

Regarding this, Jiang Simian still reserved one or two opinions. There is always a good side to people, so you can't just deny them.

Until he sat in the empty and simple banquet hall of Ruchuan Kingdom, Jiang Simian was still comforting himself. At least they still cared about whether you had food and accommodation.

But when the specialties from the Kingdom of Jin were served, Jiang Simian couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Isn't this what we brought?"

Shangguan Yunchuan suppressed his laughter and said: "Yes, didn't I tell you? How could he entertain us with good things if he is so stingy? You can eat whatever you bring every time. If you don't bring it, you can handle it yourself and even save the banquet." ”.

"..."

Ah...this...it seems that the good side of King Rukawa is his sincerity.

"What's wrong, sister Mianyuan, isn't this food to your liking?" Yan Sen, the superior, asked with concern.

Jiang Simian smiled awkwardly, "The food is very delicious."

"That's good. I'm afraid I won't entertain you properly." Yan Sen let out a sigh of relief.

"Does our Ruchuan country have any specialties or specialties? I can try it with my royal brother later." Jiang Simian basically made it very clear. You don't have to pay for it.

But even so, Yan Sen was still very confused, "Oh, specialties, I have been eating you all these years... I am busy tasting food from various countries, and I really didn't pay much attention to the specialties of our Rukawa country, but you Don’t worry, I’ll have someone go find out soon.”

"..."

Jiang Simian wanted to ask how thoughtful he must be to say such things without caring when the atmosphere was so awkward and his toes had dug out of the three bedrooms and one living room.

Soon, the banquet was over. In order to hurry up, Shangguan Yunchuan did not bring wine, so there was no process of changing glasses at the banquet. However, Yan Sen said that there was no tea and wine, and boiled water was enough.

In addition, there were no ministers to accompany the meal, and there were no singing and dancing performances to watch. Basically, everyone just ate and dispersed.

After eating, Jiang Simian was speechless again when he arrived at the residence where the Ruchuan Kingdom entertained distinguished guests from other countries.

What they knew was that the king of Ruchuan was stingy, but those who didn't know thought that Ruchuan had been conquered.

Jiang Simian was suddenly filled with despair. How should he dig out the orb from the hands of such a person? !

That is to say, Jiang Simian and the others are not particular people. If Yuan Qifeng comes here, they will either destroy it or laugh at Yan Sen and ask him to destroy it himself.

When they got up early the next day, they packed up and waited for breakfast, but they didn't see anything to eat until about three o'clock in the morning.

It was also at this time that Shangguan Yunchuan came out of the room and looked at the hungry few, "You guys got up so early? You'll get hungry if you get up too early." “No, I mean Brother Chuan, isn’t there breakfast in Ruchuan Country?” Ye Cheng, who thought he was familiar with the situation along the way, started calling Shangguan Yunchuan one after another.

The latter smiled and said: "The royal family of Ruchuan Kingdom only has two meals a day, one at noon and one in the evening, so everyone in the palace gets up very late to avoid getting hungry early."

Jiang Simian looked at him movedly, "I'm sorry, because of us, you have to follow us and suffer."

Shangguan Yunchuan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I always come here twice a year and I'm used to it."

Ye Cheng spread his hands and said, "This is really not a place for people to stay."

Moyou nodded, "Indeed, but if we are really hungry, we can make breakfast by ourselves tomorrow."

"I used to keep some ingredients in my carry-on luggage, which is enough for breakfast for the past few days," Moyou said after counting the number of people.

Ye Cheng held his hand excitedly, "Otherwise, I, Brother Mo, would have to live with me."

Moyou pushed him aside angrily.

I thought I would be able to just survive like this, but I didn't expect that the small stove on my side was turned on the next day, and Yan Sen came over after smelling the smell.

"What delicious food are you cooking?" Yan Sen said while looking inside.

Jiang Simian was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "It's just porridge and side dishes. I heard that we don't have the habit of having breakfast in the palace, so we just made some by ourselves."

Yan Sen nodded his head, "The porridge and side dishes are good. It's the most comfortable to eat porridge and side dishes in the morning. Thinking about it this way, I haven't eaten porridge and side dishes in the morning for several years."

Yan Sen had spoken to this extent, and Jiang Simian seemed ignorant if he pretended not to understand, "Why don't Your Majesty share breakfast with us? There are so many people and it's so lively."

"Okay." Yan Sen took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and filled a bowl of porridge without being greeted by anyone else.

"Why don't you eat?" Yan Sen asked curiously.

Because I have never seen such a shameless king of a country like you, who doesn't care about the food, but still comes to enjoy the food.

Jiang Simian could only laugh a few times and said, "They think your Majesty is too approachable and a little uncomfortable."

Yan Sen waved his hand, "Hey, what's the point? I have always advocated equality for all living beings."

Jiang Simian almost choked to death on his saliva, and all living beings are equal. Good guy, you will find reasons for your stinginess.

This was also the first time Jiang Simian had ever seen someone eating and drinking with such a noble reason.

After they had had enough wine and food, Yan Sen said, "I still have official business to deal with. You can do whatever you want, just as if you were at home."

After Yan Sen's figure disappeared from sight, Ye Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Is he really the king of Ruchuan Kingdom?"

Shangguan Yunchuan gave a wry smile and said, "The problem is that he will replace it if it's fake."
