"How could it be? It's an honor for our Zhao family that Your Majesty can bring his family here." Zhao De said with a flattering look on his face.
The corner of Wu Yuan's mouth raised. Of course he could tell that Zhao De had misunderstood something.
But he didn't point it out and said directly: "That's good."
"My dear friends, what are you waiting for? Do you still want the Zhao family leader to come and greet you in person?"
Wu Yuan's words immediately made Zhao De's smile freeze on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the ministers getting off the carriages with no end in sight.
Zhao De and Butler Sun both looked at this scene with their mouths wide open. Zhao De felt that he must be dreaming now, and what was originally a sweet dream turned into a nightmare.
Who can tell him what is going on?
When he saw hundreds of ministers getting off the carriage one after another and walking towards this side, Zhao De finally sat down on the ground. He was really frightened.
At the moment, Zhao De didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, he just felt like the sky was about to fall.
Seeing Zhao De's funny look, Mo Qiaoer couldn't help but smile.
Sisters Yan Fei and Yan Miao also smiled. This was so funny. At the same time, they thought Wu Yuan's move was really amazing.
The ministers were also stunned when they saw Zhao De's reaction.
What is going on? Judging from Zhao De's reaction, it seems that he didn't know they were coming.
How smart these ministers were, they realized in an instant that today's banquet was not what they thought.
If Wu Yuan really wants to praise the Zhao family, he will definitely let him arrange it in advance, but now it is a bit interesting.
When Liu Baichuan saw Zhao De like this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he cursed "idiot" in his heart!
He knew he shouldn't have come today. This was obviously wrong.
But there was no way to leave now. At this time, Prime Minister Wen walked up to Liu Baichuan and said, "Master Liu, this Zhao family is a bit interesting."
Liu Baichuan looked ugly, knowing that Prime Minister Wen was deliberately mocking him.
The eyes of the surrounding ministers were also focused on him. Because of the previous events, these ministers now knew that the Zhao family had a close relationship with him.
The Zhao family was embarrassed, and he was also embarrassed. If he had known this, he should have sent someone over to inform Zhao De when he left the Peacock Palace just now. Even if he was in a hurry, it would be better than being embarrassed now.
"Master Zhao, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly. These are all my ministers and family members. When I go out to eat and drink well, of course I can't forget my loved ones. Master Zhao, what did you just say?
But I said, I don’t mind if I bring my family here.”
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Zhao De, who was still in shock, finally came to his senses.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me. The common people didn't know you were bringing so many people here today. I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be able to entertain you well."
Zhao De knelt on the ground and broke out in cold sweat, which soon soaked his clothes.
Wu Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Master Zhao, what do you mean? Don't tell me that I brought my family here and still have to be turned away?"
"Did you know that what you rejected was the entire Dawu court?"
When Zhao De heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. The common people didn't mean to turn you away, but the common people didn't prepare so many banquets."
Zhao De can only tell the truth now, otherwise he will be even more embarrassed when he goes in later and sees only one banquet table.
At the same time, the enthusiasm in Zhao De's heart also completely cooled down.
Wu Yuan brought all the ministers of the imperial court, who were all guests. This was obviously a slap in the face.
And this finally made Zhao De understand that he asked Bai Aoxue to make demands to Wu Yuan many times, but in the end he still angered Wu Yuan.
But those requests were not what he wanted to make. They were all requested by the white-browed old man, and now he was required to bear the bitter consequences.
Although the ministers were whispering at this moment, no one came forward to say anything, let alone have any intention of leaving.
Since it was Wu Yuan who set up the stage and specially invited them to come and act together, naturally he couldn't refute Wu Yuan's reputation.
"So, do you want my darlings to go hungry tonight?"
Zhao De swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but tremble in anxiety.
Finally, an idea flashed and he came up with a solution that was not a solution, "Your Majesty, could you please come in and have tea first? The common people will prepare a banquet immediately to ensure that you are satisfied."
Zhao De has already thought about it. He will immediately ask people to go to all the restaurants in the capital to buy food and drinks. It shouldn't take too long.
The ministers looked at Zhao De with some amazement. Fortunately, he could still react like this at this time. They also understood Zhao De's intention. Whether they could tell or not would depend on Wu Yuan's accuracy.
The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth raised, and then he said reluctantly: "Okay, then you have to hurry up and don't let me and you adults just drink water."
Seeing that Wu Yuan really agreed, Zhao De also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly kowtowed and thanked him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the common people will go make preparations now."
"Well, get up."
Zhao De was relieved. He couldn't figure out why Wu Yuan deliberately came to make things difficult, but he happily agreed.
But now he did not dare to neglect, and quickly invited Wu Yuan and Baiguan into the mansion, and then said to Butler Sun: "Send all the servants out immediately, go to the restaurant to buy food and drinks, and come back quickly. Spend more money.
It doesn’t matter.”
Butler Sun also knew the seriousness and started to deal with it immediately.
Zhao De wiped the cold sweat from his face, then put on a smile and walked in to entertain Wu Yuan and the ministers.
After Zhao De personally poured tea for Wu Yuan, he also hurried to apologize to Prime Minister Wen and other ministers.
At the moment, when these ministers saw Wu Yuan, they didn't embarrass Zhao De. Of course, they didn't say much. Most of them just smiled and chatted with Zhao De.
It's just that Zhao De understands that these people are just showing off. Once Wu Yuan breaks out, these people will immediately attack the Zhao family.
Soon, Zhao De also came to Liu Baichuan. Liu Baichuan immediately said with a serious face: "Are you satisfied now? Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?"
Zhao De knew that it was impossible for him to tell Liu Baichuan because of what the white-browed old man was targeting Wu Yuan.
Being questioned like this by Liu Baichuan, he felt guilty and kept apologizing.
Then he begged again: "Master Liu, you must help me this time, otherwise our Zhao family may be doomed."
Zhao De knew that Wu Yuan's arrival today would most likely bring disaster to the Zhao family, and now Liu Baichuan was the only life-saving straw he could grasp.
"Huh, do you know how to beg me now?"
But even though he said this, he still changed the topic and said, "You don't have to worry about these ministers. Whether the Zhao family is dead or alive depends on what they want."
When Zhao De heard this, he immediately understood and finally found the direction. He immediately turned around to serve Wu Yuan.
