grassland.

It was autumn on the grassland, and the sparse trees and dense dead grass on the ground had turned yellow, and several tall trees were scattered alone on the wilderness.

The sky is clear and the view is particularly broad. You can see a lonely eagle hovering alone in the sky. On the distant land, a group of cattle and sheep are driving the herdsmen to walk by. Occasionally, a few brisk hunting dogs wandering around, guarding the dangerous grassland wolf.

This is the grassland in the south of the desert, where heroes emerge and the territory of the empire's loyalty.

Teams of cavalry appeared on the grassland. They were one by three horses, with small flags behind them, and rushed to all directions.

The vast grass is the reason for the arrival of these cavalry.

Chahar in the clouds, Khalkha in the north of the desert, and Manchu tribes in Liaodong, countless noble people rode war horses and carriages, gathered towards the Mulan hunting ground of the imperial royal family.

At the same time, on the road north of Beijing, the Yu King's camp was also advancing. Thousands of cavalry guards were guarding the royal guards. Compared with their fathers and brothers who had experienced war, the young people had less murderous aura on their faces, but their clothes were more gorgeous. The beautiful armor was covered with a black and golden cloak. The flagpole in their hands was raised high, and the imperial flag and royal heraldic flag were fluttering in the wind.

Among the guards is a convoy of more than 40 carriages. Li Zhaoji held his chin and looked out the window, and said boredly: "I have been walking for two days, and the scenery outside the window is still the same. It's so boring."

"If you're bored, you can get out of the car and ride a horse." A voice sounded, and it was Little William who was walking with him.

William Little, Li Zhaocheng and several older royal family members, who have only recently arrived in the north, while Li Zhaocheng happily rode a horse on the grassland. William liked the same scenery in front of him very much, or rather, he did not like it, but envy it.

China is really too big. He knew since he was a child that China had the largest territory in the world, but he did not expect that it would be so large that a province would be much larger than Prussia, and the grasslands... Prussia did not have such grasslands. In terms of territory, the vastness of the empire made William feel desperate because his father instilled in him the ideal of unifying the entire German nation. Now he realized that even if he conquered the entire Europe, he was not as big as the imperial territory.

Li Zhaoji asked: "William, can you play football? Uncle San said, you Germans are very good at playing football."

"This... maybe this is a misunderstanding. In fact, there is no similar sports there." Xiao William said, and he said: "I heard that people of all ethnic groups on the grassland love sports very much, and there should be found that can play football there."

Li Zhaoji shook his head: "It's also difficult. I asked. The most popular ball sport on the grassland is rugby. They are called date pit balls. They have to wear armor and iron helmets and hoods, and they hit each other. This is from the vassal army. Because it is too dangerous, I am not allowed to play."

Little William was a little confused. He thought he was under great pressure. His father put all the future of Prussia on his shoulders. However, the imperial prince in front of him was different. He should have been under great pressure like himself, but now, it is not much different from the children of an ordinary noble family. Little William really can't figure out why.

Because of the existence of the Royal Hunting Ground and the often held hajj ceremonies, a small town has formed near the hunting ground. This town has become extremely lively due to the influx of a large number of people. However, no matter how many houses there are in the town, it cannot be accommodated in tens of thousands of people from all directions. Most of the visitors set up tents on the periphery at will. When they arrived, they saw a sea of ​​tents, colorful.

The royal family had a palace in the hunting ground, and only the guards were allowed to be stationed around. When they went to the palace, they could see many people sitting in a ball, with drums, trumpets and plucking strings coming one after another. People of all ethnic groups danced their own ethnic dances. This was the excitement that Li Zhaoji liked to watch, and such ethnic diversity was also something that William could not understand. Fortunately, because he entered the complex area, Li Zhaocheng was also pulled back and was only allowed to stay in the car.

However, after the camp was settled, Li Junwei still allowed a few little guys to go to the town to play with the guards, and they were not allowed to come back until dark.

Wash your hands and arrive at the small restaurant, the table is full of food.

"The prince Yu gave the banquet to the nobles of the inner and outer vassals who had arrived. The banquet began in half an hour. The prince said, let the few high men make up for it." The guard said to a group of children.

Li Zhaocheng immediately called people to sit down and eat the meal. William took the chicken leg handed over by Li Zhaocheng, glanced at it, and then looked around. All the children were eating wildly, not one of them was idle. He took a bite and asked the question in his heart, "Zhaocheng, isn't there a banquet later? Did I hear it wrong?"

"Yes, my father will serve on behalf of the emperor to host the nobles on the grassland. Because Zhaoji has also come, all of us, the children of the royal family, must attend. Don't worry, I will not leave you alone. Just sit next to me at that time. Anyway, your father is also a duke, although he is not the duke of the empire." Li Zhaocheng promised.

William still wondered: "Since there is such a high-standard banquet, why do we still have to eat in advance? Can't we eat at the banquet again?"

William lived in the territory of the empire yet, and he spoke very fluently in Chinese because he had experienced many occasions in Xijin and Shenjing, both in Xijin and in Shenjing. Some were formal and official, while others were private. William found that the empire had very profound attainments in eating. So much so that after he inherited the Prussian king, he told his ministers in China that you may be able to count the hair of a Chinese, but you absolutely cannot count the types of food they had.

In William's opinion, the next banquet will definitely be of good quality and there will definitely be a lot of delicious food. It will never fall to the point of having a meal in advance.

After understanding William's intentions, Li Zhaocheng immediately smiled: "William, this is the rule of our Li family."

"What rules? Eat in advance before attending the banquet. Are you worried that someone will get poisoned?" William scratched his head.

Li Zhaoji explained on the side: "There are two reasons. First, there are many rules for this kind of banquet, and we have noble identities, so we will contact many people at the banquet and have many rituals. Compared to eating, rituals are more important. And even if you eat a small amount of time, you will spend more time drinking."

"So that's the case, what's the second reason?"

"The second reason is even more important." Li Zhao took over the conversation and asked with a smile: "William, don't you think the imperial royal family is approachable."

William was deeply touched by this. He was fortunate to have seen the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and he felt that he was not arrogant. Li Zhaocheng explained: "Our family is not like those royal families in Europe. There are not so many rules at home, and they rarely develop aristocratic habits on weekdays. Therefore, formal occasions must be held and pretended. If it is a big occasion such as ancestor worship and worship, you are not afraid. The key is a banquet. If you don't eat some in advance, I will attend the banquet and the table is full of delicious dishes, I can't eat them. It's so painful. Who can resist this? If you eat something secretly and be seen by others, or even swallow saliva, it will damage the majesty of the royal family.

So eating full in advance will help maintain the manners of our royal children.”

A group of children said while eating, and when they attended, William found that the little guys who were still laughing and playing just now immediately corrected their attitude. They were all serious and steady, serious, and very demeanorous. They greeted others with no problem at all. Whether they spoke or demeanor, they had the majesty of the royal family.

The banquet was very long, but no one showed impatientness. William, because he asked too much just now, had not eaten a few bites, and now he could only swallow his saliva when he looked at the good things on the table. In contrast, the foreign vassals who attended the banquet with his father and grandfather obviously had no preparations and were a little embarrassed, either with oily mouths or food residues falling on his body.

"Zhaoji, is that guy? Are you sure?" Li Zhaocheng found a gap and asked his younger brother beside him.

Li Zhaoji nodded: "It's that guy. I just noticed it specifically. Earl has a mole on his forehead, which is not bad."

Li Zhaocheng immediately said: "Okay, brother will help you with this breath today."

"Formal occasions, if you are involved in foreign vassals, don't do anything nonsense." Although Li Zhaoji hated the guy who gave him a stick, he was still very sensible.

Li Zhaocheng refused to smile: "Don't worry, he will definitely make a big embarrassment, and there will be no traces."

"What happened?" asked William Xiao.

Li Zhaocheng whispered to tell Li Zhaoji about fighting with someone in the park, and William asked: "Then how are you going to deal with that boy."

"Please treat him to eat." Although Li Zhaocheng had always maintained his demeanor, he couldn't help but smile when he thought of the next scene.

"What to eat?" Li Zhaoji was worried that something might go wrong.

Li Zhaocheng said: "Fried cod."

William suddenly thought that Li Zhaocheng personally instructed the chef to make this dish, and it was time for the wine gift session of the banquet.

Whenever they come to the north and invite these foreign vassals, the royal representatives will always arrange for this group of grassland people to taste some foreign specialties that the empire has, but they have never seen before, to show the power of the empire. Of course, it may not be food. Ten years ago, Li Junhua showed the complete skeleton of a blue whale in the hunting ground, and was mistaken for many grassland nobles to be the legendary "Bei Ming has fish and its name is Kun". Of course, as the foreign vassals become more and more knowledgeable, at least they will no longer regard the giraffe as the divine beast Qilin.

Soon, Li Junwei gave all the cod cooked in various cooking skills to all foreign vassals. This was a great honor for the nobles of the foreign vassals. Moreover, what Li Junwei said with the cod was even more meaningful.

Although cod is popular in Europe, it is not a specialty in the West. When Li Junwei introduced this fish, he specifically mentioned that his fiefdom was especially produced on the east coast of North America, and there was also a coastline called Cape Cod. The nobles present all came from foreign vassals, and without exception they all had fiefs. Obviously this was their favorite topic. When he came to participate in the Mulan autumn hunting, he wanted to know the real attitude of the Empire's center in this matter.

The children of foreign vassals had to meet the prince Li Zhaoji one by one at the end of the banquet. Everyone lined up to toast Li Zhaoji one by one. Li Zhaoji was prepared and responded freely. This was the most satisfying thing about Li Junwei. Li Zhaoji grew up in the palace and was raised by the queen and Rongfei, and was qualified in terms of demeanor. At least Li Junwei's children were not as good as him.

Li Zhaoji would say a few words to the foreign vassals who came to toast, either inquire or encourage. Just as he was talking to King Chahar's grandson, Ear, who was standing behind, still showed a state of uneasiness. He first scratched his ears and cheeks, then twisted his body, closed his legs, and could no longer stand.

"Ear, you must have a manner in front of the temple." The son of a foreign vassal who was familiar with him reminded him.

Earl was in pain at this time because his abdomen was warm, and a slippery, soft heat flow passed through his abdomen and rushed straight to his anus. No matter how he controlled it, he would be unable to hold it in.

"Earl, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Li Zhaoji stood up, looked at Earl, and asked softly, but his heart was irritated. It was because Zhao Cheng poisoned the cod that Earl had eaten.

"No, report back to your highness, my subordinate is not sick." Earl twisted his body and tried hard to respond.

Li Zhaocheng smiled and said, "If you are not sick, just take two steps, two steps."

Earl tried hard to keep it up, suddenly covering her butt and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates are anxious, I can't help it."

"So that's the case. You go and change your clothes. I won't blame you." Li Zhaoji said generously.

Earl covered her butt, and hurriedly ran out in a group of laughter. After a while, Earl came back, with a guilty face and accused Li Zhaoji. After saying a few words, she couldn't help it again and ran away again with her butt covering her butt.

I was so troubled several times when I came back. I was laughed at by others many times, so I didn’t dare to enter the banquet hall again.

"Brother Zhaocheng, you won't give him croton." After the banquet ended, Li Zhaoji was still scared and pulled Li Zhaocheng and asked.

Li Zhaocheng shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense. If someone knows that the royal family poisoned his ministers, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"So, is it just a matter of being taken down?" William asked.

Li Zhaocheng laughed: "Of course not, they couldn't find out no matter how hard they looked. Earl was so embarrassed because he was not eating cod."

"What is that?"

"Oil fish! It's a fish that looks like cod. It's cut into pieces and it's like cod. It's not a fish that's cod. Oil fish is an existence that cannot be restricted by the sphincter's contraction," Li Zhaocheng said with a smile.

Li Zhaoji's face turned dark: "Will Na Er be in danger of life?"

"No, I just let him change his underwear for a day and a half." Li Zhaocheng said with a smile.

"Brother Zhaocheng, how did you know this thing?" someone asked.
