After working in the Qin family's kitchen for more than two hours, Li Zexuan finally finished preparing lunch for the big shots in the backyard. There weren't many types of dishes, only five dishes and one soup in total. However, the portions of each dish were large and were all placed in small bowls. After all, the big shots sitting in the house were all martial artists and their appetites were extraordinarily large.
After the dishes were done, Li Zexuan naturally didn't have anything to do. Madam Qin ordered the maids to bring the bowls of dishes to the front hall. Li Zexuan didn't care about this. After washing his hands, he pulled his wife out of the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo walking towards him. Li Zexuan was stunned and asked, "Hey ~? Huaiyu, Chou Niu ~? You two are back ~? "
Qin Huaiyu went to Yun Shan to participate in "labor" as early as a month ago. Cheng Chumo liked to slack off, and it had only been half a month since he went to Yun Shan. Under normal circumstances, the two of them should be at Yun Shan now because Yun Shan was a little far from Chang 'an. The students of the School of Mathematics would usually eat together in the cafeteria of Yun Shan at noon.
"Oh ~! What meat is this ~? It smells so good ~! Hey ~! Wait ~! Don't go ~! Let me try a piece ~! "
Cheng Chumo was about to answer when he smelled an extremely rich fragrance of meat. His attention was immediately attracted by the little maid holding the bowls of dishes. What was worse was that this guy was not only talking, but also stretching out his black dog paw ~!
"Stop ~!"
Madam Qin, who was standing behind him, quickly caught up to him and scolded, "Ugly Bull, stop fooling around. This food was prepared for His Majesty. If you really want to eat, then go wash your hands and eat at the table. What are you doing now?!"
Cheng Chumo immediately stopped. He widened his eyes and said, "Huh ~? Is Her Majesty here too? "
He had just brought Qin Huaiyu home. After learning that Qin Qiong had recovered from his old injuries and had unexpectedly broken through to the next realm, and that Cheng Chumo was "freeloading" at the Qin family today, Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and followed Qin Huaiyu over.
However, he only came over to freeload a meal. He really didn't know that Li Er was here. If he had known earlier, he definitely wouldn't have come.
"Mm ~! His Majesty, your Uncle Yuchi, and the others are all here. Since you're here, Chou Ox, go wash your hands and accompany them to drink later! "
After saying that, Madam Qin led the maids into the room, leaving behind a dumbfounded Cheng Chumo.
"Heh! Who told you to be so smug ~! "
Li Zexuan stepped forward and teased Cheng Chumo. Then, he looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked, "Huaiyu, how are things at Cloud Mountain?"
Qin Huaiyu said, "The construction of the academy has been completed. All that's left are some non-urgent buildings. The students of the School of Mathematics have all returned home today to prepare for the entrance exam ~!"
Everything was completed just like that ~?
Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard that. He said in surprise, "That's fast ~? Then, Huaiyu, you guys have worked hard ~! "
At this moment, he just remembered that the entrance exam of Yanhuang College was about to begin, and he hadn't even started writing the exam papers ~?
It seemed like he couldn't wander around anymore ~!
"Ha ~! Of course, we've worked hard. Xiao Xuan, you have to compensate us well ~! "
Cheng Chumo laughed shamelessly.
Li Zexuan said in annoyance, "Compensate ~? Isn't this lunch compensation for you ~? Chou Ox, you can't eat these dishes anywhere else even if you want to ~! "
…
"Mm ~! What meat is this ~? Why is it so fragrant ~? I, Old Cheng, want to try it and see what it tastes like? "
After the dishes were served, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but salivate when he smelled the fragrance of the meat with preserved vegetables. He was eager to try it.
"Cough, cough ~!"
Qin Qiong coughed heavily and signaled Cheng Chumo to notice that Li Er was still at the table. Cheng Chumo came back to his senses and blushed. He put down his chopsticks and said awkwardly, "Cough, cough ~! Your Majesty, please try this first ~! "
Li Er smiled and said, "What ~? We haven't eaten together for so long, and now we're becoming distant ~? Thinking back to when Zhijie was at the table, he didn't give in no matter who the other party was ~! "
Cheng Chumo touched his nose and didn't say anything, but he thought to himself, You were still the King of Qin, and we were all good brothers. Now that you're the Emperor, how can I, Old Cheng, not be more careful ~?
"Haha ~! Zhijie, are you trying to say that today is different from the past? I'm already the Emperor of a country, and you can't laugh and scold me like before ~? Also, Shu Bao, Pharmacist, Jing De, JinDa, do you all think the same ~? "
What kind of person was Li Er? How could he not guess what Cheng Yaojin was thinking? He glanced at the people in the room and said with a meaningful smile.
Cheng Chumo hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "This official doesn't dare ~!"
Qin Qiong and the others also bowed slightly and said, "This official doesn't dare ~!"
"Don't dare ~?"
Li Er's mood suddenly became agitated. He stood up straight and looked at everyone at the table. He said with a face full of resentment, "You all just don't dare ~? This means that you all really thought so in your hearts ~! Ha ~! To put it bluntly, you all are afraid. You all are afraid that I will punish you because of your words and actions. You all are afraid that I will be the Emperor now, and my temperament will change greatly compared to before. You all are afraid that I will be like Liu Bang, who just ascended the throne and then killed a meritorious official ~! You all are afraid, aren't you ~! "
At the end of his words, Li Er was almost shouting. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't say a word. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Cheng Chumo was even grumbling in his heart about why he came to freeload today. In the end, he didn't even freeload the meal, but first freeload the tiger's butt.
He was really unlucky. Seeing that no one responded, Li Er was even more depressed. He continued, "Today, I will tell you clearly ~! Although I am the Emperor, Shu Bao, Zhijie, and the rest of you have been with me through life and death on the battlefield. I will always treat you as my brothers. Today, I swear to the heavens that in my lifetime, I will never be like Liu Bang, and you will never be like Han Xin ~! "
Liu Bang was already more than 50 years old when he became the Emperor. In his later years, he became increasingly suspicious of the meritorious officials who fought with him, especially those with different surnames. In the end, Zang Tu, Zhang Ao, Han Wang Xin, Peng Yue, Han Xin, Ying Bu, and the others were killed one after another. Ying Bu even rebelled. Liu Bang personally led an army when he was ill and defeated him. After that, the country was handed over to the descendants of the Liu family. Not only that, but he also became suspicious of Xiao He. He forced him to think of ways to tarnish his reputation to arouse Emperor Yi's suspicion. In the end, he almost died.
At this time, after Li Er finished speaking, he slammed the wine bowl heavily and said heroically, "Serve the wine ~!"
Li Zexuan, Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chumo looked at each other and went to serve the wine obediently. After all, they were the only ones in the room who could be ordered ~!
