Seeing Zhang Jie walking in, Lu Qi waved his hand to call a waiter waiting at the door of the building, and told the waiter to let Zhang Jie sit at the same table with the five tribute students. Since Zhang Jie was a surrendered minister of the Tang Dynasty, it would be a shame to sit with Zhou Chen. Qi, being together with the five Gongs, has the feeling of being condescending. Seeing Zhang Ji, Lu Qi suddenly thought of Wei Hao, but he forgot to ask about Wei Hao's situation. Wei Hao once served as Governor Rao from the fifth rank, and later returned to Jiangning. However, because Lu Qi had many things to do, he could not They ignored Wei Hao's existence. They didn't know what position Wei Hao took when he returned to Jiangning. We also welcomed two famous people from Kaifeng Mansion, but King Ji who Lu Qi was waiting for has not arrived yet. If King Ji cannot come, someone should tell him, so Lu Qi can only wait patiently. Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Qi knew that it was not appropriate to ignore the guests in the restaurant in order to wait for King Ji. He called the waiter, gave a few instructions, and then entered the Xifeng Tower. There were no guests on the first floor, so Lu Qi went straight to the second floor. A luminous pavilion. Lu Qiyi came up, and the Yeguang Pavilion fell silent. Lu Qi returned the salute before leaving, and said with a smile: "I am out to welcome guests, but I have kept you waiting for a long time. Xifeng Building is opening today. Thank you for your patronage." Raising his hands in salute, Lu Qi smiled and said: "Everyone, I am a general, but I also like people who have gained wealth through business. I hope you can take care of my business in the future." Looking at the guests nodding, Lu Qi He turned around and ordered: "Let's have a banquet." The guys immediately took action and delivered luminous cups of grape wine on trays in an orderly manner. Each exquisite luminous cup filled most of the red wine and delivered it to each guest. In front of them, everyone in the Luminous Pavilion looked amazed, surprised, or ecstatic. None of them expected that General Lu would actually serve wine in a luminous cup. Lu Qi stood there with a smile. He had collected more than a thousand luminous cups in Hexi and Beiting. He brought 300 this time, which was enough to handle the reception of Xifeng Tower. Of course, he also sold luminous cups, but only Takeout at Jade Shop. Suddenly there was a sudden sound on the stairs. Lu Qiyi turned around and saw a man wearing a military officer's official uniform rushing up to him. When the man saw Lu Qi, he hurriedly walked away and saluted: "Greetings to the general. Please come downstairs to pick him up." "Drive." Lu Qiyi was startled, and he suddenly understood, because he had seen the person coming. He was Ban Zhi from the imperial palace. He quickly turned around and said: "Everyone, please don't drink. Please get up." "Wait quietly, don't make any noise." "Zhongfei, Uncle Yun, follow me down." After speaking, Lu Qi turned around and hurried downstairs. Emperor Zhou came, which surprised him. Lu Qi rushed downstairs and rushed out of the Xifeng Tower. When he arrived outside the building, he saw more than 20 military guards in official uniforms, escorting a beautiful car slowly running towards him. He hurriedly walked a dozen steps and stood with his hands down. Soon, Shi Zhongfei and Yun Jindong also ran out, quickly walked to the right side behind Lu Qi and stood there. They also looked at the car in surprise. It was said that His Majesty the Emperor had not left the palace in ten years. Seeing Wu Wei and the car arriving at Xifeng Tower, it turned to a stop. Wu Wei opened the car door, and a young man in brocade robes got out of the car first, but it was Prince Ji. Prince Ji smiled at Lu Qi, turned around and helped a graceful young man in brocade robes. The young man is none other than the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng, respectfully welcomes His Majesty." Lu Qi knelt down on one knee and bowed to the emperor. Shi Zhongfei and Yun Jindong also followed silently. In fact, Lu Qi was the Minister of Rites, so he only had to stand up and greet him respectfully. Emperor Zhou looked at Lu Qi with gentle eyes. This first meeting outside the palace made him have a good impression of Lu Tianfeng. Lu Tianfeng's military salute on his knees made him feel inexplicably comfortable as the emperor. Lu Tianfeng The extreme respect of the emperor has invisibly enhanced the emperor's prestige, and the red flowers also need green leaves to support them. "Please be patient," Emperor Zhou said gently. Lu Qidun stood up first and walked naturally to the left side of Emperor Zhou. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty is able to come to Xifeng Tower. It is really frightening and a blessing for me." "It was King Ji who requested the trip. I listened. , But he was very quiet and thought about it, so he came out for a walk. "The emperor Zhou smiled and said that he was an elder. "Your Majesty, please." Lu Qi bowed his hands respectfully. Emperor Zhou raised his head and looked at the Xifeng Tower, looked at it for a while, and then said: "I came to Bianhe before and saw this restaurant, but never went in. The appearance of this restaurant seems to be the same." "This restaurant He was originally from Runan County, but the steward of Qingfengju said that he could buy it for 40,000 yuan, so I gave him 50,000 yuan, but he didn¡¯t want to be known as a bully." Lu Qi said. Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "I know that the Duke of Runan County has long wanted to sell this building, but no one is willing to buy it. I have also approved the Duke of Runan County to move to Jianghuai." "That is because I am reckless." Lu Qi blamed himself. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s been decades, and there¡¯s no need to be taboo.¡± Emperor Zhou responded. Lu Qi was silent, and Emperor Zhou walked away.?He and Prince Ji followed each other on the left and right. As soon as they entered the Xifeng Tower, they saw everyone kneeling. Emperor Zhou stopped and looked at the scenery before walking up the stairs. Going up the stairs to the second floor, I saw that it was also a kneeling scene, but the diners were all on the second floor, so they looked very solemn. Emperor Zhou glanced at it and said calmly: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy." "Thank you, Your Majesty, my emperor. Long live." All the officials responded. Officials certainly know the etiquette. Seeing more than seventy people stand up and stand respectfully, Emperor Zhou said calmly: "I am very quiet and restless today. If I go out for a walk, feel free to sit down." The people who stood respectfully were informed by the officials and carefully took their seats. The Emperor Don't you dare to disobey the order. After sitting down, you can all look at His Majesty the Emperor's face. You must know that Emperor Zhou has not left the palace for ten years. In the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng Mansion, admiration is certain, but if they are afraid, But they are far inferior to those powerful officials in Kaifeng Mansion. Emperor Zhou looked calm, and Lu Qi said in time: "Your Majesty, the second floor is the Night Light Pavilion, and the third floor is the Moon Pavilion. Please climb up and taste the wine." Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded. Lu Tianfeng said it appropriately, and it should be the third floor. There were no guests, so he took a step forward and climbed up the stairs to the third floor. Sure enough, there was no one there, and the temperature inside the West Wind Building was very pleasant. Once he entered, he felt like he didn't want to leave. "Okay, the good thing is." Emperor Zhou said, but he walked towards the east pavilion window. Lu Qi followed quickly and reached the attic window. He pushed open the carved paper pavilion window first. As soon as the attic window opened, a cold breeze rushed into his face, but the world outside the window felt comfortable and vast. artistic conception. "Keep this window open, I don't like closed places." Emperor Zhou said gently. Lu Qi nodded and reached out to lock the window. Emperor Zhou turned around, chose a table to sit at, and said with a smile: "Today I am here to taste wine. Let Ban Zhi and the officials come up and have some fun with me." Shi Zhongfei took the order, and Emperor Zhou asked Lu Qi, Ji Wang and Yun Jindong sat together. Lu Qi confessed and left, but he went to get the luminous cup and the best wine in person. When he came back, he placed a crystal clear luminous cup in front of Emperor Zhou, and then placed other Three luminous cups, and then took a pot-bellied porcelain bottle and poured wine into the luminous cup in front of Emperor Zhou. Putting down the pot-bellied porcelain vase, Lu Qicai took another pottery jar and poured wine for Yun Jindong. Yun Jindong stood up hurriedly to take the wine jar. Lu Qi smiled and shook his head. Yun Jindong had no choice but to sit down, but he was obviously restrained. After pouring wine for Yun Jindong, Lu Qi half-threw the wine jar to King Ji. King Ji took it naturally and poured the wine from the jar himself. Emperor Zhou looked on with a smile, his expression unchanged. "Your Majesty, I would like to present you to your Majesty for a wine tasting." Lu Qi held up the luminous cup with both hands, looked at Emperor Zhou and said gently. Emperor Zhou nodded, reached for the cup and took a sip, then squinted his eyes to taste it. After a while, he nodded and said, "It's really different." Lu Qi smiled, turned around and turned his cup to toast Prince Ji and Yun Jindong, and the three of them drank together. After taking a sip and putting down the cup, Emperor Zhou was looking at the luminous cup in his hand. He could naturally tell that the value of the luminous cup in his hand was definitely much higher than that of King Cao. "Tianfeng, the luminous cup in your Majesty's hand is not much." King Ji asked. "If Your Highness wants it, it must be gone. This luminous cup of top quality Hetian jade is the collection of the Uighur King. It should be an ancient treasure. The pattern on it seems to be in the style of before the Tang Dynasty." Lu Qi replied. King Ji nodded. At this time, officials and Ban Zhi came up one after another. They bowed respectfully to the emperor and took their seats. Even the five tribute students came up to Lanyue Pavilion with surprise and trepidation.
