Extortion?
Upon hearing Li Er's words, Li Xuan immediately understood!
"Could it be that His Majesty was not satisfied with the betrothal gift last time?”
Li Xuan deliberately pretended to be confused.
In fact, what Li Er wanted was nothing more than the hotpot making technique and the wine he brewed. He could give the wine, but he would never teach the hotpot technique. He was still counting on this technique to open a restaurant and make money!
Therefore, he couldn't agree to it immediately. He had to bargain first.
"That was a betrothal gift. Zhen did not promise you to accept the betrothal gift and bestow the marriage!”
Li Er took a sip of white wine and said calmly.
He finally found a way to extort this kid, so his mood improved.
However, he was a little puzzled. This kid used to call him father-in-law. Why did he suddenly change his address now?
He was used to listening to his father-in-law for the past two days, but he was suddenly not used to it!
"In that case, does His Majesty acknowledge this little son-in-law as his son-in-law? But the bestowment of marriage had to be discussed separately? Am I right?"
To his surprise, this kid wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he still looked calm.
"That's right! That's what it means…"
Li Er always felt that there was a conspiracy in his words, but after thinking about it, he didn't find any problems, so he nodded.
He had no choice. This kid was too cunning. He was afraid of being tricked and had no choice but to be on guard.
"Alright, your son-in-law understands!"
What puzzled him was that after Li Xuan asked, there was no movement. He didn't mention the betrothal or ask what gifts he wanted.
She only cared about eating with her head lowered and didn't even say that she wanted more wine.
Didn't he see that the wine in his bowl was gone?
"Ah…! Good wine!"
After a while, he raised his wine bowl and drank all the wine in one gulp. Then, he made a very exaggerated expression of praise.
However, even though the empty bowl was placed on the table, this kid seemed to not see it and continued to cook the mutton!
This little bastard, once I said that I won't bestow a marriage, I can't even bear to let him drink wine!
Li Er looked at the empty wine bowl in front of him and cursed in his heart.
However, although he was angry, he couldn't ask for it directly. Firstly, he was the Supreme Being of the Nine-Five, so he couldn't lose face.
Also, what if he asked for a marriage?
If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to drink in front of so many people. How embarrassing would that be?
Just agree. It would be a loss to marry off his daughter for a mere bowl of wine!
No matter what, she had to extort a sum from this kid before bestowing him with a marriage!
Since he couldn't ask for it, he could only target others.
This time, everyone was given half a bowl. Although it looked very little, it was equivalent to seven to eight catties of three leeks of pulp.
At this moment, it seemed that other than him, no one else had finished drinking!
Especially Cheng Yaojin, who only took a small sip each time. He narrowed his eyes and tasted it for a long time before swallowing.
Yuchi Gong was even more embarrassed. He directly took his chopsticks and drank the wine, only drinking a single drop in one gulp!
"Useless!"
Li Er secretly despised the two of them in his heart.
"Gulp!"
"Gulp!"
Seeing Li Er's gaze fixed on his wine bowl, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong grabbed the wine bowl and gulped it down.
In the blink of an eye, he drank all the wine in his bowl?
What did this mean? Are you afraid that I will ask you for wine?
Looking at the two old men's panicked expressions, Li Er's old face immediately pulled down.
However, even though he was angry, he couldn't scold the two old fellows.
Helpless, he could only turn his gaze to Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji was the person who understood him the most, and also the person with the best judgment!
As for the two brats of the Cheng family, their wine had long been drunk by their father!
"Ancestors, as a subject, what is your primary responsibility?”
Li Er thought for a moment and suddenly asked amiably.
"Your Majesty, as a subject, the first duty is to share the burden of the monarch!”
Zhangsun Wuji put down his chopsticks and said respectfully.
Not bad!
As expected of my considerate little Pivo!
Unlike Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, they didn't hurriedly drink from their bowls!
Li Er nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good. If I favor something that can assist my subjects, what should I do?”
He continued to ask.
Zhangsun Wuji calmly picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, revealing a sincere face…
"May I ask what Your Majesty favors?"
