Li Shimin's expression became strange when he heard the words "Lu Guogong's Mansion". It seemed that he was another victim of the Cheng Mansion's family banquet.
"Come here, hurry up and bring a cup of hot tea to Xue Qing's house. Xue Qing, please drink some to warm your stomach. This is wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea. It not only clears the liver and improves eyesight, but also nourishes the body."
Xue Wanjun took a cup of tea with a grateful face and looked at the blooming chrysanthemum and a few red wolfberries inside.
After taking a sip, the slightly bitter but sweet chrysanthemum tea made Xue Wanjun feel refreshed.
"Thank you for the tea, Your Majesty. The tea is really delicious. My stomach feels warm and comfortable."
Li Shimin took a sip of chrysanthemum tea with great satisfaction, and then asked again.
"How was it? How was the banquet at Cheng Qing's house yesterday?"
After hearing this, Xue Wanjun not only recalled the scene of having a lot of fun yesterday, eating and drinking.
When I thought of the grated wild boar meat, I couldn't help but swallow the saliva that almost dripped out.
"This is the first time in my life that I have tasted such fragrant wild boar meat. I still remember the taste..."
Seeing Xue Wanjun's appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but swallow his saliva. If he had known this, he should have tasted it yesterday.
Before the two of them could chat for a few words, they heard voices coming from outside to greet the Emperor.
Li Shimin quickly stood up, and in a short time, he saw his father Li Yuan, who was full of energy and gray hair, striding into the Manna Hall.
Xue Wanjun also quickly saluted the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"No worries, get up..." Li Yuan smiled and patted Xue Wanjun on the shoulder.
After nodding slightly towards Li Shimin, he sat in front of the iron stove and rubbed his hands, his eyes falling on Li Shimin.
Li Shimin, who knew why his father came here, quickly spoke to Li Yuan.
"Father, I was just chatting with Xue Qing's family about Xue Wancheqing's marriage. I wonder what my father's instructions are..."
Li Yuan laughed, stroking his long beard and nodding with a smile.
"Then what kind of person Xue Sanlang is, I naturally know very well. If he and Danyang can get married, it will be a good thing."
Hearing this, Xue Wanjun couldn't help but be overjoyed. His Majesty also agreed, and the Supreme Emperor nodded his head.
Now, my third brother finally has a high-status wife. I hope that guy can get married and have a baby soon.

Cheng Chubi carried his exaggeratedly large food box and arrived not far from the Manlu Hall, where he saw Xue Wanjun, the second uncle of Xue, who was lying down and leaving the Cheng Mansion yesterday.
"My nephew has met Uncle Xue."
Xue Wanjun strode forward. Although he had a pair of panda eyes, he looked very excited.
"Xian Nephew Chu Bi, hurry up and forgive me. Your Third Uncle Xue is going to get a wife soon."
After hearing Xue Wanjun's words, Cheng Chubi learned that the Supreme Emperor had nodded.
Your Majesty plans to arrange the marriage between Xue Wanche and Princess Danyang at the turn of spring and summer next year.
Cheng Chubi quickly congratulated him repeatedly, and Xue Wanjun slapped Cheng Chubi several times with a grateful expression on his face.
"If it hadn't been for your wise nephew to cure Uncle Xue of his misogyny, how could he have married so quickly?"
"I and your Uncle Xue will both remember this friendship. If there is any use for my uncle in the future, just ask."
After a few words of greeting, Xue Wanjun left in a hurry. He wanted to rush back as soon as possible to tell his third brother the good news.
Looking at Uncle Xue walking away happily with arrogant steps, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
I really envy the close relationship between the old Xue brothers, but our old Cheng family is not bad either.
Yesterday, we worked together to capture almost half of the important military ministers of the Tang Dynasty. That feeling of accomplishment.
It's no worse than defeating so many famous generals on the battlefield and watching them collapse one after another.
Cheng Chubi glanced at the heavy food box in his hand and thought, hurry up and go there. He was ordered to come here today to provide food.
After arriving in front of the Manna Hall, I got the answer in a short time.
Just after entering the Manna Palace, I saw the royal father and son who had no moral ethics.
"Oh, who do you think I am? It's your boy here..." Li Yuan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Cheng Chubi.
"I heard that you hunted a wild boar yesterday and made a delicious meal that left people unsatisfied..."
"Exactly, Wei Chen specially got it for you and your uncle today..."
Cheng Chubi happily opened the food box, took out a pot, put it aside, and then took out a casserole from the inside.
As the lids of the two pots were opened, the aroma of meat began to spread.
This made both Li Shimin and Li Yuan take a breath involuntarily.
"Is this really wild boar meat?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Of course, the taste of wild boar is much better than that of castrated pork.
Especially for this grated wild boar meat, the best thing is to put it on a low fire and enjoy it slowly..."
Smelling the fragrance that spread with the heat, Li Pan couldn't help but swallow.
"It seems that today's issue is just in time for me. Erlang, hurry up and get me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"How about you, please have some too?"
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey." Cheng Chubi was not trying to flatter others, he was just eating his own food at someone else's house.
#####
The braised wild boar meat is soft and waxy, while the grated wild boar meat is tough and charred, each has its own characteristics.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Li Yuan smacked his lips, looked at Cheng Chubi, and winked at the boy.
Cheng Chubi didn't know what this unethical boss wanted to do, so he could only take out the essence of a bottle of wine from the bottom layer of the food.
Li Yuan was very satisfied and showed that the little brat is very sensible. I am very optimistic about your expression, so he stretched out his big hand and took it.
"... Ouch, you kid actually hides such a good thing, haha, I have a mouth sore these days, please treat it."
"Erlang, do you want some too?"
Li Shimin looked at his father's attitude of being a drunkard and greedy drinker, and it was hard to say anything.
Considering his father's health, Li Shimin, as his own son, naturally has to share some of the pressure on his father's behalf.
Although Cheng Chubi was a junior, he still brought them food and wine. No matter what, there was no problem in getting some wine.
The three big men started to eat wine and meat in a sip, and they were very happy.
As for the loyal and hairy-faced guard leader Zhao Kun, he had already jumped outside to watch after receiving instructions from His Majesty the Tang Emperor's eyes.
As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come, here we are eating and drinking happily.
The gentle and virtuous Empress Changsun was holding her precious daughter Li Mingda, who was carved in pink and jade, and was on her way to the Manna Palace.
