Chapter 140 Meeting the King
After the lunch break, Bai Tongtong became busy. She had to receive the king's special envoy and read the letters that flew in like snowflakes. Many people mentioned in the letters the canonization ceremony, the dinner party and other occasions. They were looking forward to seeing her, the new Earl Mademoiselle, sent her various other social invitations, and holidays to seaside estates.

The southernmost point of Mazio shares a long coastline with neighboring countries on the left and right. It is a winter resort for the rich. Of course, Bai Tongtong has heard of several famous place names, and he is happy to take a look when he has free time.

The next day was still rest, and I didn’t want to spend the day doing nothing in the embassy. Bai Tongtong gave everyone a holiday and went shopping with the master, Scar and Abel. The others were divided into groups for free activities. With a guide.

The men didn't want to wear high heels on the street to embarrass themselves. They put back their clothes and boots, but they didn't wear soft armor, but they walked outside in this dress, and the locals knew that they were foreigners and would not attract attention.

Bai Tongtong likes her new clothes very much, and she is reluctant to take them off after wearing them. Flat shoes are more suitable for shopping. After feeling the comfortable material on her body, she wants to buy some to take back home. After asking the guide, she decides to go to the biggest market. After explaining the direction clearly, Ah Huang led them to the vicinity of the big market, and then walked slowly there.

Standing outside the gate of the big market, we can see that it is actually a very large area connected by pieces of shanty houses of different heights. The guide also said that this is a market that formed spontaneously over a long period of time. There are crowds of people coming in and out, and the food stalls are all outside the market, while the inside only sells daily necessities, just like a large wholesale market.

The guide was familiar with the way and led Bai Tongtong through the crowd. It was unbearably hot inside, because the ventilation was not smooth and filled with extremely complicated smells, Ah Huang couldn't bear it and ran away, preferring to wait outside.

They finally came to the place where the cloth was sold, and after going around a few stalls and small shops, they entered a very inconspicuous shop with a cloth curtain as the door.

The shop is cramped and filled with all kinds of fabrics and cloth ends. The owner is obviously very familiar with the guide. After they greeted Bai Tongtong warmly, he turned around and went to the back warehouse to get the same fabric as the fabric on her body. It was still very mysterious. Tell her that if it is not led by an acquaintance, this material is generally not sold to strangers.

Asking the boss about the stock in his hand, Bai Tongtong bought it all at a high price. The origin of this fabric is like the last order of a garment factory.

After buying this top-quality material for her own use, Bai Tongtong also bought second-class material for servants' clothes. The boss was unwilling to let her, a big customer, keep recommending various fabrics to her. As a result, she fell in love with screen curtains again. It is a double-layer screen cloth that has been processed. It is a large roll that stands on the corner of the wall and is stretched directly on the frame of the screen door. The reason why Bai Tongtong likes it is that the mesh is very fine, which can block the annoying flying catkins And pollen, the locals also use this screen window to block a kind of very fine pollen, otherwise, during the flowering season, after a day, the windowsills on the table and the ground will look like they have been sprinkled with fine sand.

After buying enough materials and fulfilling yesterday's wish, the five of them finally strolled leisurely in the market, buying some souvenirs and other gadgets. The men were lucky enough to buy some made from local materials in a tailor shop. The mercenary shirt is not so long and traditional style, it can be worn under armor or leather armor very well, rolled up in a pile as if free of money, making the boss grin from ear to ear.

Going back outside, tasting some local snacks at the small stall, Ah Huang came out from nowhere and patted the feet of everyone with his paw under the table. Everyone was frightened by it, and looked down, only to find that it was chasing a lizard Also nimble four-legged reptiles flopping back and forth.

While resting, the guide recommended interesting places in the capital to everyone. Bai Tongtong chose a restaurant with a view overlooking the distant mountains on the outskirts of the city to have lunch, and then took this restaurant as the destination. Step-by-step ground escape, with it, you don't need to rush for time, and you can visit other places.

In the end, they came to the gate when the restaurant just opened at noon. This place is actually a mountainous area. There are many mountains outside the city of Gran Seoul, where the rich people in the city escape from the summer heat. This restaurant with a view is located On the mountainside, and in this dense tropical forest, there are still many summer resorts or small villas hidden. The advantage of choosing the location of the king's capital in such a small basin surrounded by mountains is also obvious.

Ah Huang didn't follow up with this restaurant. It went to the forest to look for food by itself. The waiter was relieved and led the guests to the terrace with the best viewing position. On the completely open wooden terrace, a row of sunshade grass was hung The curtain is rolled up or down according to the intensity of the sunlight. At this time, it is more than half rolled up, blocking most of the sunlight at noon from outside the balcony railings, and only a small part is divided into fine light spots by the curtain and sprinkled on the dark desktop. superior.

There was a strong wind on the terrace, and the cool wind blew away the unbearable heat. As far as the eye could see, there were blue mountain ranges at the end of the sky. The scenery was beautiful and refreshing.

They spent their lunch time until the restaurant closed at noon, and most of the guests around them did the same, enjoying the scenery while eating.

After having a hearty meal in the forest, Ah Huang actually touched the terrace from the bottom of the mountain, climbed over the railing, and quickly got under the table and lay down at Bai Tongtong's feet, hiccupping happily. The frightened guests could only see the beast Appeared, but in a blink of an eye there was nothing.

After shopping for a whole morning, and enjoying another delicious meal, sleepiness swept over me unstoppably, everyone was a little tired, and unanimously decided to go back to the embassy to sleep, Ah Huang, who hadn’t played enough, protested unhappily, but still put the fragile Humans sent it back, and then it went out to play by itself.

The other eight men came back early, and they all huddled in the master's room to share the shirts they bought. Bai Tongtong received an official notice from the embassy butler that the canonization ceremony would be held in the palace tomorrow morning, and a carriage would come to pick them up.

For the most important appearance in this life, Bai Tongtong spent the whole afternoon on body beauty. After a short nap, Gulisi's local envoy sent the best beautician in the city, bringing a few boxes. Supplies, even her maids and knights are no exception, everyone must present their best image in front of the discerning nobles, and they will come again tomorrow morning to help them groom.

Abel laughed and said that it was like the eve of the bride's wedding, a bunch of precautions that cannot be missed, but fortunately, they were all planned, but they were busy and not chaotic.

Bai Tongtong soaked in a herbal bath that promotes blood circulation, wrapped in a big bath towel, went to the room next to the bathroom for body massage and skin care, the beautician and her assistants praised her beauty from beginning to end, such as her black and shiny hair, White, smooth and elastic skin, less body hair, etc., as long as it is a common word to praise women, the beautician keeps saying it without repeating it, making people feel that she is really proficient in saying this to her customers several times a day.

But well, it’s all about making complaints about it, it’s still pretty beautiful to listen to, especially since it’s never been praised so much, it’s very fresh and refreshing.

Everyone went to bed early in the evening, and just after dawn, the beautician arrived with her team, and everyone dressed up for a bath. This time, Bai Tongtong wore the gorgeous dress she brought. Dressing method Abel couldn't serve her alone, so she called two maids to help her dress up layer by layer.

In addition to wearing proper jewelry on hair accessories, ears, neck, etc., there are also gold waist hangings inlaid with gemstones on the waist, which are all bought in jewelry stores. The five gold chains are detachable. Different items need to be attached.

Bai Tongtong spent a long time in the best jewelry store in Wangdu before she chose this extremely gorgeous waist hanging, just for this little unique design, instead of buying countless waist hangings to match her skirt full of closets.But now, there are small perfume bottles, a cosmetic bag, a handkerchief bag, a small round mirror, and a sniffing salt bottle. There is a first aid thing in case you faint from heat, and it keeps making dings when you walk. The crisp sound of jingling.

The money fan took out the space bag, and the men all put on formal plate armor, with swords on their waists, shields in their left hands, and red cloaks, but there were no knights or royal army marks on their chests, but they were not the protagonists, so no one would Really ask.

The appearance of ten well-armed knights in the living room made the atmosphere in this space suddenly tense. The master and the others have gone through life and death to come to this point. They naturally have an aura that others cannot match. The servants of the embassy all nodded secretly. The maid even blushed, and her provocative eyes kept looking at them.

Bai Tongtong, who put on a magic robe outside her skirt, finally finished dressing up and left the room, and went to the living room to wait for the carriage from the palace to pick her up. Her appearance also reflected the characteristics of being a magic apprentice. A small tornado revolves around itself while rotating, driving the air around the body to flow, creating a little cool wind.

Even though she is an apprentice of the earth type, she showed off the tricks of an apprentice of the wind type. Ah Huang restrained the urge to roll her eyes. After all, it would be the most embarrassing for her to faint because of wearing too much heat.

When waiting, I always feel that the time is going slowly, and the occasion is not right. The embassy servants are surrounded by waiting, and it is impossible to close the door and let the distinguished guests be alone. Tea, the men whispered among themselves, and Bai Tongtong read to pass the time.

Finally, the convoy sent by the palace arrived outside the gate of the embassy. The welcoming envoy came in to greet Bai Tongtong. The two sat down and chatted. The master and the others went out to meet the convoy and prepare for departure. good horse.

When the master and the team captain came in together to report that it was time to start, Bai Tongtong was really relieved. It is a good idea for strangers to chat about the weather first, but if they sit down again, she doesn't know what else to talk about. At that time, she really wished that she was an acquaintance who was good at stirring up the atmosphere, so that she would not be afraid of the embarrassment of facing the cold.

The carriage sent by the royal palace is a four-wheeled carriage with a foldable open top. When the tarpaulin is folded, it can only reach above the seats, and it only serves as a sunshade instead of wrapping the entire carriage. The advantage is of course ventilation, but Ah Huang had no roof to stand on, so he exclusively occupied the seat opposite Bai Tongtong, sitting upright as if taking a passport photo.

The escorting guards walked at the head and tail, the master's team walked among them, and the centerpiece was the big carriage, and the usher on horseback walked at the forefront of the whole team.

The more powerful motorcade than the day before yesterday set off from the embassy area, circled the city for half a circle, passed through the main road and other bustling avenues, and finally arrived at the Palace of Marzio. There are already people gathered here, waiting with serious and reverent mood The royal carriage approached, and when they saw the leading soldiers, the cheers were overwhelmed.

Conferring nobles is always a big event, especially the great nobles above the earl, who are directly conferred by His Majesty, the people who always like to watch the excitement will certainly not miss the news, not to mention that this is a prestigious magic apprentice from a neighboring country, In a few years at most, he will become a highly respected magician, which is enough to make people curious to know everything about Bai Tongtong. As long as he thinks that the magician in the neighboring country is also the earl of his own country, he will be full of pride.

The etiquette special training before departure played the expected role. Bai Tongtong smiled and waved to the crowd calmly. Then the carriage stopped, the master got off the horse, stretched out his hand in front of the car door to guide Bai Tongtong out of the carriage, and took his arm lightly. Ah Huang was at Bai Tongtong's side, Abel followed behind, and behind them were the nine financial fans.

In front of the gate of the palace, the guard of honor band blew the horn of welcome, and Bai Tongtong and his party followed the welcoming envoys into the deep gate of the palace.

After going through the long corridor, going upstairs and turning a corner, you will arrive at the most important meeting hall in the main building of the palace. Outside the closed gate, there will be a courteous officer to greet you, giving everyone a little time to tidy up.

Bai Tongtong withdrew the magic of the little tornado, sprinkled a mist of water on her hair, smoothed the messy hair, then Abel touched up her makeup, and she even inhaled some smelling salts to make herself look Be more spiritual.

The men took off their shields and put them in the money fan's interspatial bag. The master handed over his sword to his companions, and joined hands with Bai Tongtong again. The formation of the others remained the same, except that the nine were lined up.

The officer of ceremony nodded to the guard of honor, who blew the cornet, and then through the heavy gate, the corresponding trumpet music was heard in the hall, and then the gate slowly opened, and the first person who appeared was sitting on the high throne directly opposite the hall The king and queen on the stage, followed by the ministers, nobles and magicians on both sides, all brought their families to watch the ceremony.

When the door was fully opened, the ceremony officer standing inside the door loudly announced Bai Tongtong's arrival, and then all the guests applauded enthusiastically. At this time, Bai Tongtong entered the meeting hall under the escort of the master, and everyone else stayed outside for the time being. , but Ah Huang was still by his side, causing many people to exclaim and praise him as an eye-opener.

The master sent Bai Tongtong to the front of the throne, saluted the king and queen as a knight, then retreated obliquely behind Bai Tongtong to the right, took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, Ah Huang also obediently stepped back and stood with him.

The ladies present immediately made a sensation, and cast their gazes on the master. Some people took advantage of their clever positions to boldly peep at the knights who were left outside, wondering if they had the same temperament outstanding.

Bai Tongtong bowed his knees and saluted, "My lord, Tongtong? On behalf of our Majesty, Bai would like to extend the highest respect and sincere greetings to His Majesty Canus II and His Royal Highness the Queen, and thank His Majesty for your kind invitation and generosity."

"Please also convey my highest respect and sincere greetings to His Majesty Askem IV of your country. We are very grateful to him and his country for all kinds of help they have always given."
