Cheng Chubi slowly opened his eyes and blinked hard. He always felt that there was something wrong with the pattern of the roof.
After turning over and sitting up, I noticed that I was actually lying with my clothes on.
Cheng Chubi touched his clothes with a confused look on his face. That was wrong. He still remembered that he had another drink with his elders in the front yard.
I had already taken off my coat when I got back home, and it wasn't the same one I wore yesterday.
When he stood in front of him, he saw a subway stove that was more luxurious than the one he used at home.
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and a pretty face appeared in Cheng Sanlang's sight.
"Meiniang, where is this?" Cheng Chubi asked with some uncertainty.
Wu Meiniang looked at her husband's cute appearance, pursed her lips and walked into the house carrying a copper basin.
He quickly picked up the kettle on the iron stove, poured hot water into the copper basin, twisted the towel and said.
"It seems that my husband really drank too much last night, and he didn't even know that he was being carried into the palace."
"Why should I enter the palace?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him most.
Cheng Chubi believed in his own wine, and he was definitely not the kind of person who liked to drink like crazy and talk nonsense when he drank too much.
So I shouldn't do anything against public morals when I'm drunk.
For example, rushing to the palace to blow up the toilets with firecrackers, scalding ants with boiling water, cutting square bamboo to make firecrackers, etc...
After all, even if you want to do these things, you certainly can't do them blatantly.
I saw Wu Meiniang holding back her smile and slowly shaking her head. "Husband, of course you will not take the initiative to enter the palace."
"Last night, His Majesty sent General Zhao to deliver an oral message. He asked you to come into the palace, saying that he had something urgent to do to see your husband.
His Highness didn't want to move when he saw you were drunk, but when my husband heard the news, he insisted on entering the palace, saying that he was summoned by his father-in-law, and if he didn't go, he would not give him face..."
Having said this, Wu Meiniang let out a sound of joy and quickly turned her head.
"...Is this really what I said?" Cheng Chubi wiped his face with a black line.
Seeing Wu Meiniang's blushing face and nodding her head, Cheng Chubi slapped his mouth and cheeks, forcing himself to calmly give an appropriate explanation for his drunken nonsense.
"It means your husband, I don't dare even if I drink too much. I am a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. After receiving your Majesty's instructions, I have to crawl to the palace even if I have to crawl..."
Before Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he heard a chuckle from the door, and then heard a crisp, sweet and smart voice.
"Mother, did you hear this? My husband is truly a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. I believe that dad is very pleased to hear this."
Empress Changsun looked at the girl who was smiling and boasting about her husband, and couldn't help but raise her finger to lightly scratch the tip of her nose.
"Naughty, stop teasing your husband, hurry up and see your brother Cheng San. Mom, go over there first."
Seeing his mother leaving quickly, Li Mingda walked a few steps quickly, opened the door curtain, and saw her husband standing in front of the couch, looking at him with a complicated expression.
Li Mingda walked forward obediently and bowed. "I have met your husband."
"Okay, okay...she is your mother right now, right?"
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but help Li Mingda up. Looking at this beautiful face, what could he say?
Needless to say, last night, it was that boy Li Ke who came over to take credit after drinking with me.
The father-in-law, who had no martial ethics, got excited and insisted on arresting him. Li Mingda was also helpless.
As a husband, I got drunk and insisted on going to the palace to see my father-in-law. I thought that this little cutie would suffer a lot.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but sigh. One day, he was also carried out of Duke Lu's Mansion by a door panel, and was also carried into Wencheng Hall by a door panel.
Thinking that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were there admiring his drunken posture lying on the door panel, even Cheng Sanlang's shamelessness made his face feel slightly hot at the moment.
When Li Mingda saw her husband's appearance, she couldn't help but smile brightly, moved her bright eyes, and whispered in her husband's ear.
"Husband, my father is going to court. He will definitely have to talk to you after he retreats."
"Well, what's wrong?" Cheng Chubi looked at Li Mingda's smiling face, knowing that the lady most likely had something on her mind.
Li Mingda came closer, exhaling like blue, and whispered in a sweet voice, "I want to eat hot-boiled fish slices again."
"Okay, but we don't have any fishing tackle."
Cheng Chubi nodded his head without hesitation, and he would never be polite to pick out the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the aquatic products in Jiuzhou Pool are absolutely natural and pollution-free, and can definitely be marked with an ecological label.
"It doesn't matter, my dad has it." Li Mingda raised her beautiful eyebrows proudly.
Wu Meiniang on the side looked at the man and woman calmly, with almost identical smiles on their expressions.
He raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and reminded him kindly, "Your Highness, you'd better tell me, after all, this is the palace."
Li Mingda nodded vigorously, then lifted up his skirt and ran out of the house.
"Yes, yes, what Sister Mei Niang said is true. Husband, please wait for me..."
Two-quarters of an hour later, on the Jiuzhou Pond, Cheng Chubi stared blankly at the dozen fishing rods that Li Mingda asked the eunuch to bring.
"Madam, is it too much?"
"It's okay, husband. There are many of us, you, me, and Sister Mei Niang."

At the court meeting, each piece of government affairs was reported to the officials of the three provinces and six ministries, either for court discussion or for His Majesty to make a decision.
Time passed like this bit by bit, and at this moment, a Dali Temple prime minister hurried to the palace gate and communicated a few words with the guarding imperial soldier.
In a short time, a eunuch rushed towards the Luoyang Palace from the direction of the palace gate.
Pei Xuanji, the minister of Dali Temple, was staying peacefully in the court. Anyway, he had almost no say in such government affairs.
Because Dali Temple is one of the nine temples that is responsible for the review of judicial cases in various departments and states.
Moreover, His Majesty has just given himself an important task, which is to severely interrogate Bo Zhengguang, the governor of Luoyang County.
Although Zheng Guang was a distant relative of the Zheng family in Xingyang, many aristocratic families in the Central Plains have reaped a lot of benefits in Luoyang over the years.
Especially the population, or it should be said that thanks to the collusion between Cui Shen and Zheng Guang, many aristocratic families in the Central Plains were able to obtain a large number of hidden households from these two men.
The so-called hidden household means escaping from rent and taxes, avoiding corvee, and often escaping from the original place of residence. After escaping from the original place of residence, one does not need to perform corvee service and the name is not included in the household register.
However, how could ordinary people avoid corvee labor and avoid rent and taxes?
