The little cutie stopped suddenly, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Young Master Liu panting.
"Stinky... Huh... Huh... Stinky daddy... Huh...
Stinky daddy, that's almost it.
If you keep chasing me, it will look bad for both of us. "
Young Master Liu glanced at the strange expressions of the government officials in front of him, took a few deep breaths, turned his head and waved to Liu Song, who was trotting up to catch up.
"Liu Song, yes."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Liu Song responded, walked to a group of government servants with a faint smile and stopped.
Then, he directly took out a pair of tokens from his arms and held them up in front of all the government officials.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess has arrived."
All the government officials were stunned for a moment, and after they came to their senses, they hurriedly saluted Mr. Liu and the cute little father and daughter.
"We will see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"See Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Everyone is free of charge."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
"Is Jiang Aiqing in the government office?"
"Return to your Majesty, you are here."
Young Master Liu nodded slightly and walked toward the door with a faint smile.
"You can continue to be on duty."
"As ordered, we will send you off to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess."
After Young Master Liu walked into the Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he went straight to Jiang Yuanming's public house where he handled official business.
Looking at the wide open door in front of him, Young Master Liu raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Yuanming's questioning voice immediately came from the room.
"who?"
"It's me, can I go in?"
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Yuanming asked questions at first, and then said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please come in, Your Majesty, please come in."
As Jiang Yuanming spoke, he quickly walked towards Young Master Liu to greet him.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed your welcome from afar. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Royal Highness, you are here too. I am polite to you."
"Sir, no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the paperwork on the desk, smiled lightly and sat on a chair nearby.
"Old Jiang, today is the day of rest, but you are still processing official documents in the government office. You are very diligent."
Jiang Yuanming picked up the pot and poured four cups of tea, and cheerfully gestured to Young Master Liu and the others.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess, Butler Liu, please have tea."
"Um."
"Thank you, sir."
"Master Laojiang is here."
Jiang Yuanming picked up his tea cup, pulled up a chair and sat next to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be so busy during my rest period.
It's a pity, sir, that I can't do anything about it.
It's almost spring tax time, how can I not be busy, sir? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Jiang Yuanming's depressed expression and happily took a sip of tea.
“Time flies so fast, and it’s spring tax time again in a blink of an eye.”
"Who says it isn't?"
"By the way, Your Majesty, where is your old minister this time?"
Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup in his hand, smiled and moved his neck a few times.
"Old Jiang, get the accounts from the treasury. I want to do the accounting."
Jiang Yuanming hurriedly put the tea cup on the table, stood up and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go to the file room immediately to get the accounts."
"Um."
"Oh, stinky daddy, it turns out you came to the Household Office just to settle the accounts."
"Hahaha, stinky girl, what do you think?"
"Huh, if I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come with you."
"Hahaha, my father didn't force you to come."
"snort!"
…………
Three days later.
The Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace, the Meditation Pavilion.
Young Master Liu looked at the groups of koi carps in the lake, smiled, grabbed a handful of fish food from the earthen jar and threw it into the lake.
When the fish eats into the water, the water surface ripples directly.
Groups of koi fish immediately rushed towards the center of the water waves.
Liu Mingzhi stared at the koi that was feeding for a while, then picked up the telescope on the stone table and put it in front of his eyes. He smiled and observed the scenery around the imperial garden.
Soon.
A voice broke Liu Dashao's elegance.
"Old minister Xia Gongming, please see your Majesty."
Young Master Liu put down the telescope in front of him, turned to look at Xia Gongming outside the pavilion with a smile, and waved his hand casually.
"Sir, no need to be polite, come in and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Gongming walked into the pavilion, looked at the wine, dishes and chessboard on the stone table, and looked at Young Master Liu in surprise.
"Your Majesty, it's a chess game and dinner and dinner. Are you enjoying yourself today?"
Young Master Liu smiled and sat on the stone bench, raising his hand to signal to Xia Gongming.
"Sir, please sit down, please sit down."
Xia Gongming straightened his sleeves and sat down opposite Young Master Liu with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Young Master Liu shook his head indifferently and picked up his wine glass happily.
"Sir, let's have a drink."
Xia Gongming lowered his eyes and looked at his wine glass, then gave Young Master Liu a strange look.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"But it doesn't matter."
Xia Gongming turned around and looked around, looked at the chessboard on the stone table, picked up his wine glass and turned it gently in front of him.
Finally, Xia Gongming's eyes fell on Young Master Liu again.
“Your Majesty, I have the courage to say this, as the old saying goes, if you show your courtesy for nothing, you will either commit adultery or steal.
On weekdays, you rarely entertain old ministers for drinks alone.
You are suddenly playing chess and having dinner and dinner. The old minister is somewhat uncomfortable with this.
Let me tell you my truth, I don’t dare to drink this wine of yours! "
Young Master Liu looked at Xia Gongming's old eyes, which were full of vigilance, and shook his head angrily.
"Xia Gongming, you old thing.
If I treat you to a drink alone, it’s to give you face. Don’t be disrespectful! "
"Your Majesty, is it really just drinking?"
"if not?"
"Sure?"
"Of course."
Xia Gongming was silent for a moment with a hesitant expression, and with a smile on his face, he held the wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, I would like to propose a toast to you."
"Drink together, drink together."
"Old minister, please do it first as a courtesy."
After finishing the glass of wine, Mr. Liu happily added another glass of wine.
"Sir, eat the food, eat the food."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You're welcome, sir."
Young Master Liu looked at Xia Gongming who had picked up his chopsticks and was eating vegetables. He smiled lightly and grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box on his side.
"Sir, single? Or double?"
Xia Gongming swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Young Master Liu's clenched palm with a chuckle.
"Good things come in pairs, I guess they come in pairs."
Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, directly placed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and counted them with a smile.
"It's really a pair. Sir, please."
Xia Gongming casually put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard with a smile.
"Your Majesty, that veteran is not welcome."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, picked up his wine glass, drank it down, and followed up with a chess piece.
"My lord."
Xia Gongming dropped a chess piece again and looked up at Young Master Liu.
"His Majesty?"
After Liu Mingzhi caught up with a chess piece, he picked up the pot and refilled a glass of wine for himself and Xia Gongming.
"Sir, I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Sir, what do you think of our current situation in Dalong?"
Xia Gongming raised his eyes and glanced at Young Master Liu. His old eyes turned slightly a few times. He held the chess piece between his fingers and pondered for a while, then gently placed it on the chessboard.
"The government is harmonious and the world is at peace."
"If the government is harmonious and the people are harmonious, the world will be at peace?"
"Of course!"
"Then, sir, how do you view the general trend of the world?"
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I have lived for decades.
In the past few decades, the farthest places I have traveled to are Yazhou and Yinshan in our territory.
It’s not easy for me, old minister, to understand the situation of our dragon clearly.
As for the general trend of the world, I really know nothing about it. "
Young Master Liu nodded happily, raised his wine glass and gestured to Xia Gongming.
"Sir, there are so many places in the world, so I went to take a look."
