I almost laughed out loud again, but it took me a long time to hold it back, and quickly raised my glass, disturbing the suspicious gazes of Cheng Chubi and Li Ji.
"Come on, come on, eat more and drink more, so that Cheng Laosan can fulfill his duties in the Imperial Medical Office, right Cheng Sanlang?"
Cheng Chubi looked at Uncle Li's old face with a very kind smile, hmm...it shouldn't be sarcasm, but the truth.
Cheng Chubi quickly raised his glass and drained it in one gulp, his face full of loyalty.
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle. Please rest assured that my nephew is in charge of the Imperial Medical Office, so the Imperial Medical Office cannot be disrupted."
"Haha..." Li Shimin almost wanted to kick him with his toe, but that was all. After all, sometimes he had to take into account the face of his courtiers.
To avoid being thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty bullied the weak juniors.
The level of catering in the palace was not high, and Li Ji was thinking about tomorrow's official duties. Cheng Chubi had just finished chewing a plate of bones, and was pulled by Li Ji to leave.
Cheng Chubi could only pat his half-full belly and followed Li Ji out of the palace angrily.
But just as he made an appointment with Li Ji to go to the Ministry of War the next day, Cheng Chubi suddenly thought of a question.
If Uncle Li comes back to ask Li Chengqian, he does not have much social experience.
The Prince of Pai Ribs, whose inner emotions are almost always displayed on his face, is probably going to leak out.
After thinking about it, Cheng Chubi hurried to the East Palace. However, since he was not on duty today, Cheng Chubi sent someone to call Ning Zhong.
Ning Zhong was also confused, wasn't Cheng Sanlang Xiu Mu today? Why did this guy come to the East Palace again?
He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to refuse this little bully of the Cheng family who was running rampant in the East Palace, so he had no choice but to rush to the palace gate.
Cheng Chubi dragged Ning Zhong to the side and repeatedly warned him for a long time. Only when Ning Zhong had written them all down did he let go with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's go and report this to His Highness. I've spent a whole day crying over military and national affairs. I'm tired and sleepy.
I won’t go in, just say hello to His Highness for me.”
After saying these words, Cheng Chubi jumped on his horse and led Cheng Ji and Cheng Li, their loyal servants.
He rushed towards Duke Lu's mansion where his own father had left his hometown, leaving only a few people waiting to raise their children.

In the Cheng'en Hall in the East Palace Harem, Li Chengqian was sitting opposite the newly married Crown Princess Su, playing chess in a very polite manner.
The glances that collided with each other from time to time would always make Su Shi shyly look away, but from time to time she would peek at this handsome husband.
Li Chengqian felt indescribably happy as he glanced back and forth.
Mrs. Su is indeed very gentle and virtuous, and she doesn't speak hastily or impatiently, which makes Li Chengqian quite happy to get along with her.
At this time, Li Chengqian heard the sound of footsteps. When he turned his head, he saw the loyal Ning Zhong walking quickly.
After first paying tribute to himself and Mrs. Su, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Su quickly stood up and wanted to leave first, but Li Chengqian waved his hand and said.
"It doesn't have to be like this. If Ning Zhong has something to do, just tell him. There are no outsiders here."
These words made Su's heart feel sweet, and she sat down obediently again, and Ning Zhong spoke directly.
"Your Highness, Cheng Sanlang just came to look for the slave and told the slave some things. I want the slave to tell your highness as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the smile on Li Chengqian's face faded, and he nodded to indicate for Ning Zhong to continue.
Ning Zhong said, "Cheng Sanlang said that yesterday I watched the mosquito battle with His Highness the Prince and was deeply moved.
His Royal Highness the Prince’s advice helped him understand the art of war games.”
"Today I presented it to His Majesty, and won His Majesty's praise..."
"???" Li Chengqian looked at Ning Zhong with a confused expression. After a long time, he raised his hand somewhat unconfidently to signal Ning Zhong to shut up.
No, I remember that the two of them were bored yesterday and squatted in Yichun Palace all afternoon watching ants and hornets fighting.
He didn't do anything else, and the words he chatted with Cheng Chubi didn't seem to have anything to do with military matters.
Ning Zhong and Su Shi both saw His Highness the Crown Prince's frown and did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing his thoughts.
After a long while, Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Ning Zhong. "That's it?"
"Well, oh, by the way, he also said: At that time, the prince said that it would be great if watching military affairs were like watching ants fighting."
"It was this sentence that inspired him, so he dragged His Highness the Crown Prince to accompany him to watch the insect-ant battle all afternoon."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian had already reacted. He must be among those accompanying him.
Someone leaked that he and Cheng Chubi spent an afternoon watching ants.
The result reached his father, but Cheng Chubi took it upon himself. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look moved.
"Cheng Sanlang is indeed a good man..."
"Your Highness, I heard what Cheng Sanlang said. It seems that the inspiration you gained from watching the battle between ants and insects with Cheng Sanlang has been praised by His Majesty."
"Father, well, I know, you can go down first." Li Chengqian smiled and nodded slightly.
After Ning Zhong agreed and exited the Cheng'en Palace, Mrs. Su curiously whispered, "Husband, are you okay?"
"Haha, don't worry. As long as Cheng Sanlang is here, I will be fine." Li Chengqian smiled heartily and replied very confidently.
"Come on, let's continue. The winner has not yet been decided today."
Under the beautiful light, the newly married Crown Prince and the newly married Mrs. Su began to play chess.

Cheng Chubi then returned to the door of the mansion, and a servant came to report that Liu Renshi, the son of General Liu Hongji, came to visit.
"Because you didn't come back, young master, and he has been waiting. As a result, the eldest young master and the second young master held a banquet to welcome the guests. I don't know what will happen now."
Cheng Chubi's face darkened, and he glanced at the front hall, which was already full of lights. Hmm... I'm afraid this General Liu's son must be already heroic.
Cheng Chubi stepped into the front hall and saw his three brothers, four, five and six, gnawing bones and vaguely greeted the third brother.
These three naughty kids don't know what's going on. They don't eat any meat, but they like to eat those hard-to-gnaw bones.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m in the period of teeth replacement, so I can’t grind my teeth without using bones.
He glanced at the three of them and looked forward. He saw that the eldest and second brother were waving to him with a sense of accomplishment.
"The third child is back. Why are you so late today? This kid has been staying at our house for a long time.
When I asked him about anything, he didn't say anything. He just said that his father had something to do with you, the third child.
Brother Wei is worried that Brother Liu Xian will not be able to leave in a hurry, so let him drink more, and you can ask him again when he wakes up."
Cheng Chubi walked closer and took a look, and saw Liu Renshi sleeping with his face on the vegetable plate. He felt bad all over.
He pointed at the noble disciple who was sleeping with his face on the food plate and snoring. "I said eldest brother and second brother, what do you want me to ask?"
"It's okay. I can't ask today, but I can ask early tomorrow." The two brothers said nonchalantly.
The second brother chuckled. "You can't ruin our old Cheng family's reputation of not being allowed in or out just to ask a few questions, right?"
