Commander, you smell so good.

"Come here, I have prepared a seat for you, please sit down"

Noticing that Jiang Zheng had arrived and brought several ship girls with him, Richelieu gently shook the red wine glass in his hand and placed it gently on the table. The aura of a superior gradually subsided, and he stretched out his hand to several empty seats beside him, which were specially reserved for them.

Nodding in gratitude for Richelieu's advance preparation, Jiang Zheng put Flandre down and let her sit alone. He was about to pull out a chair and sit down when Foch, who was standing next to Richelieu, took the initiative to come to him, helped him pull out the table and chairs, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Master Jiang Zheng, welcome to the Iris Theocracy. Please take a seat."

"Hello, Foch, how about we go out together next time you're free?"

Sitting down at the table and chair, Jiang Zheng looked up at Foch, who was a little surprised, and smiled happily.

She gave a smile that showed neither acceptance nor rejection, but her beautiful eyes blinked quickly a few times, and Jiang Zheng felt that she must have rejected it.

But, even if it is rejected now, it should not be rejected after the welcome party tonight.

Without noticing Foch who was still standing beside him, Jiang Zheng just sat down when he saw the girl with big wavy blonde hair sitting opposite him waving at him. The gentle smile and enthusiasm on her face were irresistible.

Jiang Zheng also raised his hand to show his goodwill, but he couldn't remember who the ship girl in front of him was, and her presence seemed a little low.

"Now that our distinguished guests have arrived, let's get started. Let's enjoy some elegant and melodious music before we eat."

After saying that, Richelieu looked at Vauquelin. Vauquelin nodded to Richelieu, got down from his chair, and walked towards a small stage not far away. He lifted his little feet wearing Mary Jane shoes and stepped on the red steps. He walked up step by step and stood on the platform that looked like a record player, blocking the three large speakers behind him. He also held a black baton in his hand and wore an elegant white evening gown with red accents.

Compared to the lively and cute appearance when I first met her, she now has the demeanor of someone with artistic talent developing.

And when Walkeran was preparing to go on stage to perform, several barbarians in formal black suits came staggering over, holding several musical instruments in their hands, and came to both sides of Walkeran's stage, seemingly preparing for the next performance.

Jiang Zheng was watching Walkerlan prepare for his performance, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

In the past, Frederick the Great would also play music for her alone, but the opportunities were rare, either he was too busy or she was too busy. Now that he can hear Walkerlin conducting the music, maybe it will be a touching song?

Not long after, Walkerland, who was leading the song, began to slowly swing his baton, and the dancers in the audience all made beautiful sounds through their instruments.

The violin, cello, and oboe performed one after another, and the soaring instruments gradually rose with powerful tones, clear rhythm and beautiful meter.

This is an iris-style overture, music used to welcome important guests.

However, Jiang Zheng didn't care about this. Instead, he closed his eyes and felt and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of live music.

While Jiang was immersed in music, some barbarians came up with plates of delicious dishes on their heads. Iris's first dish was fresh and delicious lobster, which could not only satisfy his hunger for a quick meal, but also allow him to taste the deliciousness of the sea.

However, none of the ship girls rushed to eat until the lobsters were served. According to custom, they had to listen to the ritual songs played by Walkerlan before they could start eating.

At the same time, Foch, who was serving as the VIP butler, unscrewed a bottle of champagne with his bare hands and slowly poured it into the wine glass prepared for Jiang Zheng. The unique aroma of champagne emanated, which was more tempting than many red wines.

More than two minutes later, Walkerlan's baton slowly fell, which also indicated the end of the music. Jiang Zheng was the first to applaud enthusiastically, which made the other ship girls slightly stunned, but they also reacted and gave Walkerlan a thank you for his good performance.

"How do you feel, Jiang Zheng?"

"Bishop Richelieu, I have to say that the performance was indeed excellent. It touched me deeply. I am very happy with the welcome banquet you specially prepared."

Walkerlan's performance was over, and the black-suited Manjue in the audience also left with their instruments. Jiang Zheng turned around and expressed his thoughts.

It did sound pretty good, but it felt like Walkerland didn't know how to conduct, and Manju didn't follow her instructions when she was performing.

Jiang Zheng suppressed his doubts about whether Walkerlan understood much and expressed his feelings.

"That's great. In Iris, music, wine and food are all delicacies not to be missed, in many senses."

“Then let’s enjoy it together and enjoy the delicious food.”

After saying that, the ship girls started to grab several large lobsters placed on the bench. After all, this thing is something that only those who are slow can get it. If you are slow, you will not be able to grab it.

Jiang Zheng didn't say much about this, but took action immediately.

After all, Iris French cuisine is famous for its delicious food.

Chapter 209 Feeding Flandre

After enjoying the delicious meat of the lobster, you can try the crab with sturgeon caviar, the hen with spinach sprouts, and the stewed porcini mushrooms.

There is also cognac that has been stored for ten years.

It can be said that Jiang Zheng enjoyed the rich banquet dishes prepared by the Iris ship girl, not to mention the music conducted by Walkerin and the light dance performed by Emile Bertin.

Jiang Zheng then realized who the girl with big wavy blonde hair sitting opposite him was. It was Emil, known as the "Angel of Freedom" among irises.

It's the same as Richelieu's Lris, but most of the ship girls directly call Richelieu His Eminence the Bishop, or Bishop Richelieu. Those who directly call her Alice know that they are one of them.

After enjoying the banquet, it was time for everyone to have fun. The older sisters who were good at drinking toasted each other, while those who were not good at drinking chose other food or planned what to do tonight.

For example, Evil simply did nothing after eating and just leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to sleep. Fortunately, she wiped her mouth after eating, otherwise, as the captain of the fifth ship, Kaixuan would have to let Evil, the captain of the third ship, understand what the proper etiquette of the Church is.

"What's wrong, Flandre? Is there something wrong?"

Shaking his wine glass, Jiang Zheng fixed his gaze on Richelieu and Jean Bart who were talking. Seeing that they were having a friendly conversation, he felt relieved that what he said to her today was not in vain.

Feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled, Jiang Zheng turned to look at Flanders who was sitting next to him. At this moment, she had a serious expression on her face and pushed the unfinished dish on the plate to Jiang Zheng. It was the part that tasted more delicious to her, and she only took a small bite.

After releasing the hand that was pulling at the corner of his clothes, Flandre looked at him with a pious expression and said in a gentle and well-behaved voice:

"Commander, please allow me to offer you a sacrifice. This is the first time I offer you a sacrifice. Please accept it..."

But just as he finished speaking, Flandre saw him stretch out his hand and pause it in front of his forehead. The next moment, he felt a slight pain, which made Flandre close his eyes tightly, thinking that this was a punishment from the commander.

Jiang Zhenggang tapped her forehead, and seeing that she was still so clumsy, he sighed in defeat, picked her up from the chair, held her in his arms and sat her on his lap. He gently stroked her forehead with his right hand to ease the pain, then looked at her doubtful gaze as she looked up at him, and slowly said:

"Flander, there will be no need for sacrifices in the future. This is your share, so you should eat it. I won't starve."

"Or do you need me to feed you?"

Just looking at Flanders pair of Caroline's purple eyes, Jiang Zheng felt that he had no idea. His eyes were too innocent and naive. Rather than being ignorant of the world, he looked more like a newly born bird that didn't know what to do. He just acted according to what he thought was right.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Jiang Zheng picked up a piece of lobster meat with a fork, handed it to her mouth and fed her. It was not convenient to teach her what to do in the banquet hall now, so he planned to talk to her later.

As for Jiang Zheng's action, Flandre did not refuse at all, but a faint pink color appeared on her cute white face, and the ignorance in her eyes gradually turned into understanding. She opened her mouth to accept his feeding. For a servant like her, it was a kind of doting that made her feel terrified.

But Flandel was not afraid, but his thoughts about him kept growing. Time was too short, and Flandel did not learn anything. The only thing he got was his favor.

Gascoigne, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Zheng, was staring silently. Like Flandre, she was also awakened today. Compared with Flandre, she knew more and would take the initiative to learn everything she came into contact with and saw. Under the concealment of her dark cross-shaped pupils, unknown characters flowed from left to right, recording and learning the situation in front of her.

Of course, it wasn't just Gascony. As the judge, Xiafei saw everything Jiang Zheng did. Although there was no direct expression on his face, he still had a slight smile on his face.

From the moment she could only see him face to face at close range, Xia Fei knew what she had seen, so she chose to make an oath. Now she could not judge and punish Jiang Zheng because he was above judgment and everything, and was equal to Iris.

"If you have an idea, it's better to do it as soon as possible, Algeria"

It is said that while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Gascoigne looked at Jiang Zheng, Xiafei watched them, and Algeria was the oriole, staring at Jiang Zheng carefully taking care of Flanders' sister. Algeria felt a little envious, but it was not appropriate to get close to him now, so she just stared at him.

So Dunkirk was behind her reminding her that it was better to do it as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Dunkirk, I was thinking about that too."

Algeria shook her head, her eyes still fixed on Jiang Zheng. She had many thoughts in her mind, but it was only the first day! Imagine having a relationship with Jiang Zheng within the first day of meeting him. Algeria felt that even if she was willing to pay him back, she couldn't do that. She needed some time, right?

For example, the two of them first make a date together, go shopping, visit different places, and finally choose to enter into a relationship in a place with a suitable atmosphere. This is normal, right?

Who would throw money at you right away? That's called giving it away for free, right?

Faced with Algeria's so-called reserve, Dunkirk blinked her eyes, hugged the bear with both hands, and felt confused and helpless towards her good sister.

Is this because you've read too many magazines about human society, or something, and think you have a choice? Do you know that there are too many wolves and too little meat these days? Whoever strikes first wins, so why all the twists and turns?

His gaze shifted to Xiafei, and thinking about the Inquisitor's behavior this afternoon, Dunkirk felt that he was about to be overtaken, and he made up his mind.

However, Jiang Zheng didn't have time to feed Flandre for long before Jean Bart came over with a glass of champagne. She was wearing a beautiful evening dress that revealed a large area of snow-white skin. The hem of her skirt was designed to be tucked to the side. As her long legs swung, her beautiful figure gradually moved closer and stayed beside Jiang Zheng.

Glancing at his satisfied expression, he asked Bal to sit directly in the seat that originally belonged to Flanders, and then said:

"You're quite busy."

Chapter 210 Xia Fei, are you awake?

"Busy, be busy... Hehe, well, what's the matter with the beautiful Miss Jean Barr coming to my side?"

Seeing Jean Bart sitting directly next to him, Jiang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then saw that there were only a few pieces of meat on the plate, so he took out a tissue and wiped Flandre's mouth carefully, experiencing the feeling of taking care of a child, and replied to her.

As expected, compared to naughty children, well-behaved and obedient children are easier to take care of.

Jeanbal was not annoyed, but watched him take care of the ignorant Flanders tenderly and attentively. She was not a person with bad eyesight, so she naturally understood Flanders's "defects". She did not continue to speak until he had taken care of him.

"What? You don't welcome me here? And my name is Jean Bart, this is very important."

"Well, Miss Jean Bart, you are dressed very beautifully tonight. Although you looked cool on the wooden wheel, it turns out that as long as a person is good-looking, he or she will look good in anything. This is what is called a beautiful face."

Jiang Zheng's eyes were on Jean Bart. Compared to the cool outfit she wore when they met in the afternoon, this gorgeous dress was more suitable for her style. After all, she was the "second flagship" of Iris, so naturally she was more elegant and exquisite now.

The front part of the brown dress only covered her chest, but the deep white cleavage was particularly eye-catching. The delicate collarbone and smooth shoulders were very attractive, and the part that was not covered looked particularly white and tender.

The waist was tied with a chic gold pendant, which sparkled. The skirt was cut so that it looked very long at the sides but very short at the front, barely covering the absolute area.

Her slender and charming legs were clad in leg rings, and her feet were wearing gorgeous high heels. The heels, which were over eight centimeters high, seemed like they could kill someone with one kick.

But the most attractive thing is her face and hairstyle. The high ponytail falls vertically, and her face looks a bit like a cute and unruly cat. Her pair of red eyes show that she is not easy to mess with, but she looks very pleasing to the eye.

From head to toe, Jiang Zheng felt that Jean Bart was truly stunningly beautiful. This was all basic shipgirl skills; who wasn't naturally beautiful? But this particular beauty of hers was exceptionally different.

"Really? This is the first time I've received comments from others. Thank you."

After hearing Jiang Zheng's evaluation of himself, Jean Bart blushed slightly, which was rare for him. Although he didn't understand what "beautiful eyebrows and eyes" meant, it was definitely a compliment, which made Jean Bart look away a little embarrassedly.

It was his evaluation of Jean Bart that made one of the ship girls present purse her lips with envy in her eyes.

"By the way, are you free tonight? The party is basically over now, and there's only time left to chat and have fun. If you're free, how about going to the tavern with me tonight? You haven't been to this place before, right?"

After calming down his inner panic, he let Bal look into his eyes. He remembered that he was free tonight and had nothing to do tomorrow, so he made an appointment with him for tonight.

After all, the night is still long.

But before Jiang Zheng could respond, Xia Fei, who was sitting further away, stood up and walked over. The expressionless look on her face made it impossible to understand what she was thinking. Until she took the table and chair and sat next to Jiang Zheng in front of Jean Bart, she took the initiative to link her arm with his, and then rejected him on his behalf with words without any emotion.

"Sorry, Jean Bart, Commander Jiang... he and I have an appointment to go to the Ice Sea to see the night sky together tonight, so he can't accept your invitation today."

The words of rejection coming out of Xiafei's mouth made the ship girls all look at the judge with different expressions on their faces.

Most of them were shocked. Not all the ship girls knew that Xiafei had sworn an oath to Jiang Zheng, but they felt strange and shocked. Is this really the Xiafei who is usually indifferent, talks about sanctions, and then strikes at the mass-produced Siren?

Jiang Zheng leaned back tactically, puzzled. When had he made an agreement with her?

Xiafei, are you awake?

However, Jiang Zheng did not say anything that would slap her in the face, but instead wanted to see what Jean Bart thought.

Jean Bart frowned at the refusal, realizing something was amiss. His gaze shifted back and forth between Xia Fei and Jiang Zheng. When had their relationship become so close? Was this still the Xia Fei he knew?

But Jean Bart didn't think much about it. He just felt that Jiang Zheng had good interpersonal relationships. It was rare that he had such a good relationship with the Judge in such a short day.

But why call him commander?

"Okay, in that case, I won't bother you anymore. I hope you can see the beautiful night sky."

Without giving it much thought, Jean Bart said, "Don't disturb me," and then he got up and left with his champagne. Since he already had an appointment, why was he still hanging around? Why not go upstairs and take in the view?

After watching Jean Bal leave, Jiang Zheng turned his head to look at Xia Fei. She was still holding his arm. Although hers was not small, but rather big and soft, shouldn't she talk to him about this?

Meeting Jiang Zheng's gaze, Xia Fei blinked before speaking slowly.

"Commander, come with me to the Ice Sea tonight to see the night sky."

"Well, you're inviting me now, you're amazing."

Hearing her belated invitation, Jiang Zheng chuckled, but did not refuse. After he nodded, Xia Fei gradually curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Since the Commander didn't refuse, then we'll go see the Ice Sea together tonight. That's what we agreed on."

After saying that, Xia Fei let go of his hand and left without looking back, leaving Jiang Zheng a little confused.

Scratching my head, I thought, if I don’t understand, then I don’t understand. I’d better not think too much about it.

Just because he didn't think about it didn't mean he didn't think about anything else. At this time, Richelieu slowly came to him, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, and she was still dressed in her usual style.

Richelieu put down the glass of red wine on the table and looked at Flandre in his arms. Her innocent eyes made Richelieu feel good about her and he wanted to reach out and pinch her cheek.

But in the end she didn't do so, because in terms of status, Flanders was equal to her, or even higher.

Thinking of what happened with Joffre just now, Richelieu and Jiang Zheng looked at each other, with a faint blush on their faces from drinking.

"Jiang Zheng, how do you feel about tonight's banquet?"

"I feel very good. Thank you Bishop Richelieu for your hospitality. I am very satisfied."

Touching Flanders head, Jiang Zheng nodded contentedly.
