It didn't take long.
Outside the palace.
A dark purple carriage stopped outside the palace.
Then a middle-aged man wearing purple court clothes, with a heroic face but a resentful expression slowly stepped out of the carriage.
It was none other than Xu Tiande.
"Father, you have seen this. Why don't you tell me what is going on? Even if His Majesty asked me to go up to the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire, I would never frown. Even if you are like this I didn’t say anything, but I, Old Xu, was so frightened in my heart.”
Xu Tiande trotted all the way to catch up with Chen Zhili who was walking in front and asked in a low voice.
Chen Zhili smiled and explained: "My lord, you really are overthinking this. Your Majesty really just wants to invite you to the banquet."
"Then why didn't you see Mrs. Yang from the Yang Mansion?"
Xu Tiande looked around and asked.
"Your Majesty said that this is a family dinner. You have been His Majesty's playmate since childhood. This is His Majesty's unique favor for you."
Chen Zhili smiled softly. While speaking, the four young eunuchs in front walked up to several people carrying a sedan.
Put down the sedan chair.
Chen Zhili looked at Xu Tiande and said, "Master, please get on the sedan."
"Hehehe...hehehe..."
Xu Tiande's face twitched.
The family dinner is here, and it’s in a sedan chair.
This designation is not good.
But there was nothing I could do but sit on it.
Not long after, under the leadership of Chen Zhili, four young eunuchs lifted up the sedan and took Xu Tiande through the periphery of the palace.
After passing the Gate of Supreme Harmony, he did not go straight to the Yangxin Hall where Zhao Chongyuan usually lived, but went straight to the Kunning Palace in the harem.
For a moment.
Xu Tiande was even more panicked.
"Father, my heart is throbbing and hurting again."
"Come, Dr. Wang, give me an acupuncture."
"No, I'll go. Isn't it okay if I go?"
Seeing this posture, Xu Tiande quickly waved his hand.
Good guy, you've made it clear that you won't let me go.
Just now from Kunning Palace.
Xu Tiande was stunned by the scene in front of him.
On the long table.
It is filled with delicacies from mountains and seas.
A famous palace maid and eunuch shuttled among them.
There are all kinds of exquisite pastries in his hands.
Placed on a long table.
At the other end of the long table, Zhao Chongyuan took off his dragon robe and sat on a chair in regular clothes.
Watching Xu Tiande walk in.
Then he shouted with a smile: "Come on, Tiande, sit down and eat?"
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, can you just say it directly? Don't make me, Old Xu, panic."
Xu Tiande smiled sarcastically.
Stand next to the table.
Neither sitting nor standing.
Especially Zhao Chongyuan specially changed into regular clothes at this moment.
Deep down, I was even more inexplicably panicked.
Zhao Chongyuan glared and looked at Xu Tiande pretending to be reproachful, "It's just a meal, why can't I have a meal with you old brothers?"
He stood up and walked directly behind Xu Tiande, forcing Xu Tiande to sit on the stool.
Xu Tiande smiled sarcastically: "Your Majesty..."
But before Xu Tiande could finish his words, Zhao Chongyuan interrupted Xu Tiande, looked at Xu Tiande reproachfully and said: "There are no kings and ministers here, it's enough that you and I are brothers, your name is Zhao Laosan, and I'll call you Xu Erdezi. "
The reason why Xu Tiande was called Xu Erdezi was mainly because Xu Tiande had a sister above him who was also married to Zhao Chongyuan.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Tiande's nickname has always been Xu Erdezi.
"Don't dare."
Xu Tiande quickly shook his head, but looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the minister is the minister. Your Majesty can call me Xu Erdezi, but I cannot call you by your nickname."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly became happy: "Hey, we have been separated for three days. We should look at you with admiration. Xu Erdezi, we have never noticed that you are so well-behaved."
Xu Tiande smiled: "Hey, my daughter can teach us how to speak."
"Ruoyun, that girl is pretty good."
Zhao Chongyuan smacked his lips and waved his hand to Xu Tiande while eating his meal: "Sit down, why are you standing still?"
"Really eating?"
Xu Tiande was still a little worried and looked at Zhao Chongyuan carefully.
"It's really about eating."
Zhao Chongyuan said noncommittally, then raised his head and glanced at Xu Tiande: "If you don't want to eat, I will."
As he spoke, he groaned and said: "Hey, I still thought about going out incognito this time to bring you some specialties from all over the country, but you just look at me like this? No fun, no fun."
As he said that, Zhao Chongyuan took a bite, and then shouted to Queen Ma behind the curtain: "Ruying, Tiande thinks that we invited him to dinner because we are plotting against him, so don't cook your roasted goose for him.
He has no taste and is not worthy of eating. "
Upon hearing this, the chopsticks in Xu Tiande's hand fell on the table with a clatter.
Then he quickly stood up and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a stern face: "Your Majesty, just say what you have to say. You don't need to use this trick. I, Old Xu, will listen to whatever you say."
"Hey, you Xu Erdezi, what's wrong? I'm going to hurt you after eating your meal?"
Zhao Chongyuan was unhappy, stood up and looked at Xu Tiande with his hands on his hips.
Xu Tiande still looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a serious face: "Your Majesty, think about it, in all these years, how many times have we personally eaten the roast goose cooked by the Empress?"
Without waiting for Zhao Chongyuan to speak.
Xu Tiande pointed his fingers and said to Xu Tiande: "This is the first time. Fifteen years ago, Youzhou was in emergency. General Nan Chen and Chen Zhihu went south. You asked me to lead 150,000 troops to quickly support Youzhou. That was my first time." I ate the roast goose cooked by the Queen.
The second time, there was an emergency in Yanzhou. The barbarians from Mobei bypassed the Tianduan Mountains and made a surprise attack on Yanzhou. You also asked me to lead the troops to stop them. That was the second time I ate roast goose cooked by the empress.
The third time, Liu Sanyuan in Qingzhou rebelled. You asked me to lead the troops to defend Qiling. Before leaving, you also asked the Queen to cook roast goose for me.
Now for the fourth time. "
At this point, Xu Tiande slapped his chest loudly: "You tell me where you want me to go this time. I will never frown."
"Hey, you're such a bad boy, can't I just treat you to a roast goose?"
Hearing what Xu Tiande said, Zhao Chongyuan felt angry and funny at the same time.
"cannot."
Xu Tiande frowned and replied: "Because I know that if your Majesty's personal ministers eat roast goose, it will definitely not do anything good."
"Hey, you Xu Erdezi."
Zhao Chongyuan was so angry that his teeth itched, he stood up and pointed at Xu Tiande, gritted his teeth, looked directly at Xu Tiande and said: "Okay, I will tell you directly, your sister-in-law has taken a liking to your family Ruoyun, and wants to give Ruoyun a ration. Lao Jiu, it’s up to you.”
"What the hell?"
Xu Tiande was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Chongyuan in disbelief: "Sister Ma has fallen in love with my Ruoyun? Do you want Ruoyun to be betrothed to King Yan?"
"hold head high."
Zhao Chongyuan nodded noncommittally, "It's up to you."
Xu Tiande glared: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! It's impossible for you to beat me to death!"
