My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1933 It's Like a Hongmen Banquet Again

After a cup of tea, Li Ye's voice sounded from the hall.

"Uncle, please come in quickly, Xiao Dezi is rude, he dared to let uncle wait outside the hall, after the banquet is over, I will definitely punish him a little."

Liu Mingzhi looked up at Li Ye who was dressed in casual clothes and walked out of the palace gate quickly, and saluted with fists in his hand while holding the gift box.

"Veteran Liu Mingzhi sees His Majesty, long live long live!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy, there are no outsiders today, uncle doesn't have to be so rigid."

"No, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and etiquette cannot be discarded."

"Uncle is serious, please take your seat in the hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye glanced at Xiao Dezi indifferently: "Xiao Dezi, you don't have any winks, why don't you quickly take the gift box from uncle, do you want uncle to carry it all the time?"

Xiao Dezi hurriedly took the brocade box from Liu Mingzhi's hand, and kept nodding to Li Ye in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, what His Majesty taught you is that we must correct it in the future."

"Mother, uncle is here!"

Young Master Liu, who was walking towards the hall behind Li Ye, was shocked, his face froze, and he subconsciously glanced at the hall.

Seeing Chen Jie who was sitting at the top, Young Master Liu looked away, and his heart twitched fiercely, what the hell, Chen Jie is here too.

Didn't Xiao Dezi say that he was the only one invited to the banquet?
After thinking about it, Xiao Dezi said that he was the only foreign minister, and he didn't say that there was no one in the palace to accompany him.

Young Master Liu followed behind Li Ye hesitantly, wanting to retreat, but wanting to advance was extremely awkward.

Chen Jie looked at First Young Master Liu who was timidly following behind Li Ye, and stared at Young Young Master Liu's figure with phoenix eyes indifferently, as if the affair yesterday did not exist at all.

"Ai's family has met my brother-in-law."

"Chenchen brother sees the emperor's sister-in-law, thousands of years old."

"Queen mother, uncle, don't be polite, this time is a family banquet hosted by the child, so there is no need to stick to etiquette.

Uncle, please sit down. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Mingzhi took a peek at Chen Jie, who was in the first place opposite, and was relieved to see that she didn't have the coquettish and charming look that lingered after a moment of spring night yesterday.

Since this woman can pretend that nothing happened, naturally she will not take the initiative to reveal her secrets.

Having been in court for more than ten years, he still has this ability.

"Xiao Dezi, pour the wine!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Dezi filled a glass of wine for each of the three with a jug, and then stood aside with the jug in hand.

Li Ye cheerfully raised his wine glass: "Uncle, these days my son is very angry because of the matter of assisting the government, and he has been losing his appetite. The queen mother is worried about her health, so she personally cooks porridge and brings it to her every day.

Today, I also came to deliver porridge to my son, and my son thought that his uncle was coming to the banquet, so he left his mother behind and had a few drinks with his uncle to express our mother and son's gratitude to you, uncle.

Uncle, my boy, thank you for helping me once again to solve the difficult problem of pro-government.

My child respects you. "

After Li Ye finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and gestured to First Young Master Liu for the bottomed wine glass.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the wine in his hand tangled, and then sneaked a glance at Chen Jie, who was half-hiding her face with the sleeves of her phoenix robe, raised the wine glass and put it into her cherry lips before tasting it, hesitating endlessly.

To drink or not to drink.

Is there any problem with this wine?

In case there was another fairy dance yesterday, I would really have no luck to endure it.

Young Master Liu was a little afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years.

"Uncle, why don't you drink it? But this wine doesn't suit your taste? What kind of wine do you want to drink? My son, someone will replace it for you immediately. There are no less than dozens of kinds of imperial wine in the palace, and there is always a drink that uncle likes."

"No need, Your Majesty, forgive me, the old minister got too drunk yesterday, he was a little unconscious, and today he is still drunk, so he really can't accompany His Majesty to get drunk.

The old minister will stop, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me. "

"So that's the case. It seems that I can't drink happily with my uncle. If that's the case, it's good for my uncle to enjoy himself."

"Thank you for your majesty's understanding, and I respect your majesty and sister-in-law."

"Xiao Dezi, pour the wine!"

"Yes!"

Liu Mingzhi raised his wine glass as a signal, took a sip and swallowed it, silently feeling if there was anything wrong with his body.

After a while, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just normal drinks.

However, Liu Mingzhi did not relax his vigilance.

Yesterday's drinks were different and started to be normal, something went wrong!
Chen Jie secretly glanced at Liu Mingzhi who was opposite her with her phoenix eyes, and put down the wine glass in her hand.

"Emperor, brother-in-law, it is enough for the Ai family to accompany you for a couple of cups. If you two drink slowly, the Ai family will go back to the palace first."

"Mother, the table has just been served. It's not too late for you to eat some food and drink to fill your belly before going back."

"No need, Aijia is not hungry, you two just have fun."

Hearing that Chen Jie was leaving, Young Master Liu wished so much.

Seeing Li Ye still wanted to keep him, he hurriedly stood by Chen Jie's side and agreed.

"Your Majesty, although the wine is good, drinking too much will hurt your health. Since the Empress Dowager doesn't want to drink more, Your Majesty should stop forcing her to stay. The Empress Dowager's phoenix is ​​important.

If something happens after drinking, it's not good.

Sister-in-law, what my brother said is right. "

Listening to Liu Mingzhi's pointed words, Chen Jie saw Liu Mingzhi's slightly weird gaze, and her delicate body trembled imperceptibly.

I don't know what I thought of, my eyes dodged a little, and a faint blush appeared on my pretty face.

"Yes, what my brother-in-law said is that Ai's family is too strong to drink, so it's not good to be greedy!"

Naturally, Li Ye was not aware of the shady affair between his mother Chen Jie and his uncle Liu Mingzhi yesterday, seeing her mother's reddish cheeks, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, since the mother is too strong to drink, let's go back to the palace first, and the child has to drink with uncle, so it's rude not to send the mother to the queen."

"It's okay, the Ai family will go first."

After Chen Jie finished speaking, she got up directly, moved her lotus steps lightly, and walked towards the outside of the hall with a slightly enchanting posture.

Li Ye looked at Chen Jie's fading figure in surprise, he always felt that today's queen mother seems to be a little different from the past.

It seems that he is much younger, and even his walking posture is quite different from the past.

With the thought, Li Ye suddenly realized that the mother's complexion seemed to be much smoother today, far from the sickly look she had a few days ago.

Could it be that after I settled the affairs of the assistant minister, the queen mother was happy for me and felt better?
As soon as Chen Jie left, Liu Mingzhi immediately felt relieved, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared immediately, and everything was strong!

After all that incident happened, Liu Mingzhi couldn't do it if he wanted to pretend that nothing happened.

The only thing that can be done is to be out of sight and calm in mind.

After confirming that there was no problem with the drink, Liu Mingzhi took the initiative to raise his glass.

"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a toast."

"Boy and uncle drink together, please!"

"Xiao Dezi, continue to pour wine for me and my uncle.

Uncle, try the cooking skills of the imperial chef. There are only two of us. I only asked the imperial kitchen to prepare six simple specialties. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lifting the chopsticks, Liu Mingzhi stared at the six exquisite dishes on the table in a daze.

Six dishes, three Jiangnan-style cuisines, and three Northland-style cuisines, it seems that Li Ye is taking care of his own taste.

"Your Majesty has worked so hard, thank you, old minister."

"Uncle, you are being polite. You are my child's great benefactor. How can my child not take it seriously? Try it."

"That minister will be bold and impolite."

Liu Mingzhi picked up the chopsticks, put a chopstick on the edge of each dish and began to taste.

Tasting the familiar yet unfamiliar flavors of the three Jiangnan dishes, he sighed faintly, feeling deeply moved immediately.

"The taste of home, old minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

"If uncle likes to eat, eat more.

My uncle was born in the south of the Yangtze River, but he has been away from his hometown for a long time. It must be difficult to eat a meal of hometown food.

Seeing that his uncle likes it, the child is relieved.

Uncle continued to eat, don't be rigid. "

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!"

"Uncle, now that the Northern Expedition has been successfully reported, the unification of the world is no longer just empty talk.

The future is bright, and I am very relieved, and I can't help but feel heroic.

The affairs of the auxiliary ministers made me feel more and more that the court cannot do without your uncle's support, and I urgently need my uncle's help.

Uncle is the important minister appointed by the father and emperor, my son hopes that between us and father, we can be in harmony with each other like uncle, grandfather and father, get along day and night, and tell good stories about the emperor and ministers again.

Monarchs and ministers joined forces to open up a prosperous empire.

After leaving court yesterday, I went back to the imperial study and thought about it for half the night, and felt that I couldn't do without my uncle's help no matter what.

I hope my uncle can always accompany the child, and point out the shortcomings of the child to be a king, and the way to be an emperor.

Therefore, after the world is unified, I hope that my uncle can return to court to report on his duties.

The boy is willing to treat each other as the regent king, and I hope that my uncle can help me get rid of all the evils.

Except for the regent, there is really no position that can echo my uncle Tuogu's status as an important minister. "

As Li Ye spoke, he picked up a piece of Jiangnan cuisine with his chopsticks and put it in Liu Mingzhi's bowl, and looked at Liu Mingzhi expectantly.

"What does uncle think?"

Liu Mingzhi's chopsticks holding the dish stopped in front of his chest, his pupils shrank slightly, and he continued to put the meat into his mouth and began to chew calmly.

Ugh.
It's not a Hongmen banquet, but it's like a Hongmen banquet!

Liu Mingzhi put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass to taste it.

"Regent?"

"Yes, Regent!

The boy heard from his grandmother that in the past, when his grandfather went to sea and when his father was in charge of the country, his uncle had served as the Minister of Regent.

My uncle has experience, and I think it will be handy to help me handle the government affairs after he comes to serve as the regent.

If the uncle is satisfied, the boy will immediately draw up an order and announce the matter to the world. "

Liu Mingzhi raised his head, poured all the wine in the glass down his throat, put the glass on the table in a gentle manner, and turned his head to look at Li Ye calmly.

"Your Majesty, are you so sure that the world will be unified so soon?"

"This I have given Zhongwu Wang Yunyang Lao Aiqing three years, no more than five years at the latest.

With the current national strength of the two countries, they can't last long. "
