"Mmm! Fragrant! Fragrant! "
Qin Estate. When it was close to noon, the maidservants of the Qin Estate brought over numerous fragrant dishes from the kitchen. Old Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he couldn't help but click his tongue in praise. "Second Brother, the culinary skills of the chefs in your estate are really getting better and better. This taste is almost on par with the Immortal Indulgence Inn!"
Qin Qiong couldn't help but glare at Cheng Yaojin and say, "What chef? These dishes were all made by your sister-in-law herself!"
"Ah? Second Sister-in-law actually made them herself? "
Cheng Yaojin was shocked and said in disbelief.
"Hehe! It's rare for Little Xuan and Zhijie to be here today. I have to personally cook and entertain you! "
As they were talking, Madam Qin walked in with two maidservants carrying plates and said with a smile.
Old Cheng chuckled and said, "Haha! Sister-in-law, you're doing this on account of Little Xuan, right? Looks like I'm still riding on Little Xuan's coattails today! "
This old fellow often came to the Qin family to "freeload", but it was usually the servants in the manor who cooked. Why would Madam Qin cook personally?
Madam Qin scolded, "Nonsense! When you come to the Qin Manor, has the Qin Manor ever short-changed you? "
Although she said that, everyone knew that it was just a joke between the two of them and couldn't be taken seriously. Li Zexuan stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie. Auntie, sit down and eat with us!"
Madam Qin smiled and said, "No, no! You guys eat first. The chicken is still stewing over there! Auntie has to take care of it! Oh, right! Little Xuan, why didn't you bring Yuxi with you today? Auntie hasn't seen her in a long time! "
Han Yuxi was the adopted daughter of Qin Qiong and Madam Qin. Because of Li Zexuan, Han Yuxi was even closer to the Qin family. The two families were also very close, which was why Madam Qin said that.
Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "I came to Chang 'an to do something today, so I didn't bring my wife along! I'll get her to visit Auntie another day! "
"Hehe! Good, good, good! Then Auntie will help you get the chicken soup! Eat quickly! "
Madam Qin nodded and smiled in satisfaction before turning to leave.
"Alright! Little Xuan, Zhijie, eat up! "
At this moment, Qin Qiong, as the host, hurriedly called out.
"Haha! Come on! We haven't gathered since we came back from the north, right? Let's drink first! "
Cheng Yaojin laughed and unceremoniously poured himself a cup as he shouted loudly.
There were only the three of them at the table (Qin Huaiyu was still at the Academy). After Old Cheng shouted, the atmosphere at the table immediately became lively.
"Good! This little nephew toasts Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin! Previously, the two uncles led an army from afar to rescue us. This nephew will remember this friendship! "
Ever since Li Zexuan grasped the "trick" of drinking, although he still did not like drinking, he was no longer afraid of drinking. Hearing this, he raised his wine cup, stood up, and raised his cup to Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong said seriously, "Xiao Xuan, we are family. Zhijie and I treat you as our family's younger generation. If something happens to you, how can we sit still at home? It's only right that I lead the army to save you! "
Cheng Yaojin interrupted, "Haha! Second Brother is right! We are all family. Why are you being so polite? Come on! Cheers! "
After saying that, Old Cheng raised his neck and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp!
"Good! Cheers! "
Qin Qiong and Li Zexuan also followed suit and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.
"Haha! Good wine and good food, why didn't you call me? Shu Bao, Zhijie, you guys are too unkind! "
After a round of wine, Cheng Yaojin, this old fellow, was preparing to continue pouring wine for Li Zexuan. At this time, a burst of energetic and familiar laughter came from outside the room. Who else could it be other than Li Er?
When the three people in the house heard Li Er's voice, they were all shocked. Everyone quickly put down their wine cups and stood up to welcome him. They bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
As the host, Qin Qiong bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty has come to my humble abode. This old official has not welcomed you. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Li Er went forward to help Qin Qiong up and said, "Eh? Shu Bao, what are you doing? I'm only here to drink and freeload today. Let's skip the formalities! Speaking of which, how long has it been since we've gathered to drink together? "
Although Qin Qiong did not believe Li Er's nonsense that he was only here to drink, the latter half of Li Er's sentence still made him fall silent. That's right, ever since Li Er started the change in the Xuanwu Gate and ascended to the throne, they had never sat at the same table to drink and eat meat again, right?
"Your Majesty must be joking. Please come in!"
Qin Qiong quickly recovered from his deep thoughts. He quickly turned his body and invited Li Er in.
Li Er nodded and walked in with his hands behind his back. However, when he walked in front of Li Zexuan, he stared expressionlessly at Li Zexuan. This stare made Li Zexuan's heart skip a beat.
Although there was one more person at the table, the atmosphere was not as lively as before. No matter how much Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Li Er had gone through life and death together on the battlefield and called each other brothers, now that Li Er had become the Emperor, it was impossible for them to return to their previous state!
"Why are you here in Chang 'an City today? Have you settled the matters at the Academy? "
After three rounds of wine, Li Er looked at Li Zexuan and asked lightly.
Li Zexuan quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Academy released the results today. This year's enrollment has been completely completed! In addition, the five thousand sets of armor for the Black Armored Army have been completed. I plan to bring the new equipment to the Black Armored Army camp tomorrow to take up my post. That's why I came to Chang 'an City today to inform General Duan! "
"Hmm? The five thousand sets of armor for the Black Armored Army have been completed? "
Although Li Er had already guessed this, he could not hide his surprise when he heard Li Zexuan say it with his own ears. Previously, Yan Lide had roughly calculated with him that if they were to follow the new style of armor invented by Li Zexuan, it would be impossible for the Ministry of Works and the craftsmen of the General Work Supervisor to complete the 5,000 sets of armor in three months. Now, Li Zexuan's workshop had only used slightly more than a month to complete the 5,000 sets of armor, vanadium steel horse lances, and vanadium steel horse armor. This speed made Li Er envious!
If it wasn't for the Emperor's reputation, he really wanted to snatch Li Zexuan's Strange Interest Pavilion Workshop, because this workshop could be considered a national treasure!
"Yes, Your Majesty! The five thousand sets of armor have been completed and can be sent to the Black Armored Army camp at any time! "
Li Zexuan was a little flustered by Li Er's wolf-like gaze. Even so, he braced himself and replied.
