After working in the Qin family's kitchen for more than an hour, Li Zexuan finally prepared the lunch meals for the big guys in the backyard. There were not many types of dishes, only five dishes and one soup in total, but the amount of each dish was huge. It's big enough, but it's all packed in small pots. After all, the big guys sitting in the room are all martial arts practitioners, and their appetites are not ordinary.
After the dishes were done, there was naturally nothing left for Li Zexuan to do. Mrs. Qin directed the maids to carry the "pots" of dishes to the front hall. Li Zexuan ignored this, washed his hands, and took his wife out of the kitchen door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo walking towards this side. Li Zexuan was stunned and asked: "Hey~? Huaiyu, Chou Niu~? You two are back~?"
Qin Huaiyu went to Yunshan to participate in "labor" as early as a month ago. Cheng Chumo likes to be lazy. Calculating that he went to Yunshan for only half a month, under normal circumstances, both of them should be in Yunshan now. That's right, because Yunshan is still a bit far from Chang'an, and students in the School of Mathematics usually eat a big pot of rice in the canteen of Yunshan at noon.
"Oh~! What kind of meat is this~? It smells so good~! Oh~! Wait~! Don't leave~! Let me taste a piece first~!"
Cheng Chumo was about to answer when he smelled an extremely strong aroma of meat, and his attention was immediately seduced by the little maid carrying a vegetable basin. What's even more outrageous is that this guy not only talks, but also stretches out his black dog paw~!
"Stop~!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin from behind hurriedly caught up and scolded: "Don't mess around, ugly cow. This food is prepared for His Majesty. If you really want to eat it, just wash your hands and eat it later. What does it look like now?" Look~!”
Cheng Chumo's figure immediately stopped, his eyes widened, and he said, "Ah~? Your Majesty is here too~?"
He just took Qin Huaiyu back home first. After learning that Qin Qiong had recovered from his old injury and unexpectedly broke through the border, and that Cheng Yaojin was "grabbing" at Qin's house today, Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and followed Qin Huaiyu over. .
But he just came here to have a meal, and he really didn't know that Li Er was here. If he had known the news earlier, he would never have come here.
"Hmm~! Your Majesty, your Uncle Yuchi and the others are all here. Since you are here, Chou Niu, hurry up and wash your hands. We will serve the wine later~!"
Mrs. Qin said something and then led the maids into the house, leaving Cheng Chumo who was confused.
"Haha~! Let me make you squeak again~!"
Li Zexuan stepped forward and teased Cheng Chumo, then looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked, "Huaiyu, what's going on over there at Yunshan~?"
Qin Huaiyu said: "All the college projects have been completed, and only some non-urgent buildings are left. Our students in the School of Mathematics have all gone back to their homes today to prepare for the entrance exam~!"
Is this all completed~?
Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard this and said in surprise: "It's so fast~? Then Huaiyu, you guys have worked hard~!"
At this time, he remembered that the entrance exam for Yanhuang Academy was about to begin, and his test papers hadn't started coming out yet~?
Looks like I can’t wander around anymore~!
"Ha~! Of course we worked hard, Xiaoxuan, you have to compensate us well~!"
Cheng Chumo smiled cheekily.
Li Zexuan said angrily: "Compensation~? Isn't this lunch a compensation for you~? You can't eat these ugly dishes anywhere else~!"
…………………………
"Hmm~! What kind of meat is this~? How does it smell so good~? Can I, Old Cheng, try what it tastes like?"
After the food and wine were served, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but salivate as soon as he smelled the aroma of pickled pork with pickled vegetables. He was eager to try it.
"Ahem~!"
Qin Qiong coughed heavily, signaling Cheng Yaojin to notice that Li Er was still at the dinner table. Cheng Yaojin finally woke up, his old face turned red, he put down his chopsticks awkwardly, and said awkwardly: "Ahem~! Your Majesty, I'd better ask this first." Try it~!”
Li Er said with a smile: "What~? Our monarch and his ministers have not had dinner together for so long, and now we have become very different~? I remember that when Zhijie was at the wine table, no matter who the other party was, he would never give in~ !”
Cheng Yaojin touched his nose and said nothing, but said in his heart: "Back then you were the King of Qin and we were all good brothers. Now that you have become the Emperor, can I, Old Cheng, not pay attention~?"
"Haha~! Zhijie, do you want to say that today is different from the past, I have become the king of a country, and you can no longer laugh and curse like before~? Also, Shubao, pharmacist, Jingde, Jinda, Do you think so too~?"
How could a person like Li Er not guess what Cheng Yaojin was thinking about~? He glanced at everyone in the room and smiled meaningfully.
Cheng Yaojin quickly clasped his fists and said, "I don't dare~!"
Qin Qiong and others also bowed slightly and said, "I don't dare~!"
"Don't dare~?"
Li Er suddenly became excited. He stood up straight, looked at everyone at the dinner table, and said angrily: "You just don't dare~? This shows that you have indeed thought so in your hearts~! Ha~! To put it bluntly, you are all afraid. You are afraid of being punished by me for your words and deeds. You are afraid that now that I have become the emperor, my temperament will change drastically compared to before. You are afraid that I will be like Liu Bang, who ascends to the throne with one foot, and then the other. Kill the hero~! You are all afraid, yes or no~!"
At the end of the sentence, Li Er almost shouted, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, not daring to breathe. Cheng Chumo even complained in his heart about why he had to be a bitch to get a meal today. The rice didn't rub on the tiger's butt first, which was really bad luck.
Seeing that no one responded, Li Er felt even more unspeakably depressed. He continued: "I will tell you clearly today~! Although I have become the emperor, Shubao and Zhijie, you guys, once accompanied me Brothers who share life and death on the battlefield, I will always regard you as my brothers. I swear to the sky today that I will never be like Liu Bang in my lifetime, and you will definitely not become Han Xin of those days~!"
Liu Bang was over half a century old when he proclaimed himself emperor. As he entered his later years, he became increasingly suspicious of the heroes who conquered the world together, especially those kings with different surnames. As a result, Zang Tu, Zhang Ao, Han Wangxin, Peng Yue, Han Xin, Yingbu, etc. were deposed and killed one after another. Yingbu also rebelled, and Liu Bang was sick and conquered him personally. Later, the feudal state was transferred to the descendants of the Liu family. Not only that, he also became suspicious of Xiao He. He was forced to try to slander his reputation to avoid the emperor's suspicion, and in the end he almost didn't end well.
At this time, Li Er finished speaking, patted the wine bowl heavily, and said boldly: "Serve the wine~!"
Li Zexuan, Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chumo looked at each other, and then obediently went to serve drinks to the big bosses present. Who knows that they were the only ones who could control the situation in the room~!
