Seeing that several people were fooled and frantically distracted, Zhao Qiankun was almost laughing, but on the surface he still looked serious: "So, the most urgent task now is to kill the demon lurking in the main world, find Haierluo, regain the holy sword, and find the conspiracy of the demon behind him!"

"Then what should we do now?" The little princess Helen felt involved in a particularly exciting incident and was very excited. Joan of Arc beside her looked serious and looked forward to Zhao Qiankun's answer.

"Now..." Zhao Qiankun looked at the few people: "Eat! Sleep! Wait!"

"That's it?!" Everyone was disappointed and was about to ask again, but when they heard the knock on the door, Zhao Qiankun opened the door and was the servant who delivered the meal...

"Hahaha, it's time for dinner!" Zhao Qiankun opened the plate heartily: "Wow, it's quite rich! Go and give them all the portions to this room, we're going to have them together!"

The servant looked at the people in the room and nodded in agreement. The food was sent into the room. Zhao Qiankun directly grabbed a piece of roast pork and stuffed it into his mouth!

Seeing that he had already eaten, everyone knew that he didn't want to say much, so they started dinner.

The Northon Empire is located in the cold zone, especially Fenglincheng. It takes nearly half of the time every year, and the temperature is below freezing point.

Such a special climate has formed the unique food culture in Northume:

Heavy oil and salt, spicy, more soups and stews, are fond of spirits, rich in meat, but fewer fresh fruits and vegetables...

This diet can be said to be the best choice for fattening, but in cold areas, thick fat can keep warm, and strong liquor and hot soup can drive away the cold. Because of the food, the taste of the dishes is very impactful and makes people particularly satisfied!

After eating and drinking, Zhao Qiankun drove all the uninvited guests out of his room, then lay on the bed, crossing his legs and humming the earthly song, which was so comfortable.

In early winter, the wind was coming to the city, and the night fell very quickly. It was almost dark at dinner time. At seven or eight o'clock, ordinary people who were reluctant to leave candles and oil lamps were basically sleeping. But the palace naturally would not worry about such a little financial expenditure. Although the sky outside was as dark as ink, Northman was still reviewing documents in his study.

Although there is a special office area, the Emperor still likes to work in the study converted into his living room... When others ask why, he always answers that it is quieter, which allows him to eliminate distractions and make wiser decisions.

But only she herself knows that staying here is just because...is close to the bedroom, and you can go back to sleep at any time when you are tired!

As the king of a country, the great Northman Emperor, how can you say this reason?

Just as the emperor was flipping through the official documents, there was a movement at the door. After confirming the visitor, he came over to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Empress, ask for a meeting!"

Although he is the only woman of Northman now, the imperial concubine is not the queen after all!

The queen can have an equal dialogue with the emperor. The most noble woman in the empire was the wife of the Ottoman Emperor. She has a status second only to the emperor. She does not need such red tape to meet her husband!

The imperial concubine is more like the emperor's legal mistress, and her status is far less than that of the queen. When she sees the emperor, she needs to be respectful and closer to the relationship between superiors and subordinates... If you don't look at the closeness and distant relationship with the emperor, the imperial concubine's status is far less than that of the great nobles who hold heavy power. Even when meeting in some public occasions, the imperial concubine must salute these nobles first. If you face the queen, no matter how noble a noble is, you must take the lead in showing respect!

This is not just a difference in status, nor is it a false politeness in view of the emperor's face... You should know that behind the queens of all dynasties, there is basically this huge family support... The story of women from ordinary people and small noble families being favored by the emperor is the most popular subject in the writings of various minstrels, but reality is often not that romantic.

A woman who can marry the emperor must have a dowry that can shake the empire!

Emperor Northman frowned slightly. He seemed to have said today that he didn't need her to serve him... But after all, he was his concubine and was not very busy now...

"Let her come in!"

As the door opened, the imperial concubine walked into the study with a plate of fruit and came to Northman slowly: "Your Majesty, this is the fruit my father asked to bring. It is preserved by magic all the way, so that it can still keep the freshness that has just been picked!"

The imperial concubine's father was a nobleman in the southern part of the empire. He had a low latitude and was one of the important production areas of the empire's fruits... but the transportation efficiency in this world is still too low. Even if the use of airships can ensure that they do not rot, the expensive cost is not affordable for civilians. As for this method of using magic to keep fresh, it is even more unimaginable luxury!

But obviously, the Northman Emperor was no longer surprised. He raised his hand and pinched a grape and put it in his mouth: "It tastes good. It seems that the wines this year will taste very good. I need to stock up some in advance..."

The imperial concubine smiled sweetly: "When my father's winery is ready, I will ask him to choose the highest quality one to bring to you!"

Emperor Northman smiled and raised his hand to signal the imperial concubine to sit on the sofa and put down the fruit plate.

"You come to me, not just let me taste the fruit, right?"

"Your Majesty is really wise!" The imperial concubine said half-praise and half-coque: "Today, that rude oriental man... was he doing something everywhere in the palace after receiving His Majesty's will?"

"Zhao Qiankun?" Northman raised his eyebrows: "He is not a simple person! You also know that the whole continent is now shrouded in the shadows of demons and undead people. I heard that he is an expert in dealing with such incidents. I specifically beg him to help me check the palace... Why, has he offended you?"

"More than that!" the imperial concubine said coquettishly: "He doesn't take me seriously at all, nor does he take you seriously at your Majesty!"

Hearing her say this, Northman glanced at the book "Madame Cecia" in the corner of the bookshelf and nodded: "You are right about this..."

"So!" The imperial concubine pouted her small mouth: "I suspect that he is ill-intentioned to His Majesty and to the royal family!"

"Oh?" Emperor Northman shook his head: "This is not true... After all, he came with Joan of Arc. I think the character of the female paladin is still trustworthy..." And he did not show any malice from beginning to end, the emperor thought to himself.

"That female knight?" The imperial concubine snorted coldly: "Her family is full of demons, how can she still believe it? I suspect that it was she who instructed that rude guy to come and harm Your Majesty!"

"Aggressive me?" Northman shrugged with a smile: "How to harm me?"
