The steward ran over, panting: "The king is here in person. Second lady, hurry up and pick him up."

Xiao Luoyi was dumbfounded: "What did you say?"

"The king is here in person. Second lady, go and pick him up." The steward who delivered the message couldn't believe it either. He was so frightened that his face turned pale!

How could the ruler of the country who was far away in Dali suddenly come to western Yunnan?

You've come as soon as you come, why did you come to Zhuangzi?

"I heard they were hunting nearby and were chasing a snow leopard..."

Xiao Luoyi swallowed the mouthful of rice noodles in his mouth, and without thinking about it, he was pulled up by Chen Huaijin and walked out.

A tall man wearing a mask was walking towards him. He moved with great strides and impressive momentum.

Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi knelt down on the roadside without saying a word: "See the Lord."

A pair of black boots embroidered with gold thread came to a stop next to Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi, and a man's voice sounded like a subwoofer.

"Are you the second daughter of the Xiao family?"

"Is this your husband-in-law?"

Xiao Luoyi's heart was slightly shaken, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Since I came to Dali, not many people took the initiative to ask about my husband-in-law on the first meeting.

However, Xiao Luoyi didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly agreed: "Yes."

"Get up, I'm chasing the snow leopard. It's getting dark. I heard that this is the Xiao family's village, so I'm going to stay here for a night. Is it convenient?" The king's voice was low and his tone was gentle.

But Xiao Luoyi is not confused. People are polite. If we really think about "convenience", we are crazy.

"Of course it's convenient! Hurry up and pack out the best room!"

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin stood up, and Xiao Luoyi asked the quintessence of Chinese culture out of habit: "Have you eaten?"

The king chuckled: "No."

"Then let's eat something together?"

After Xiao Luoyi finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly withdrew: "What about that? I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare food again."

The king waved his hand: "No, just keep eating what you just had. Just ask the person in charge to add two more dishes."

Xiao Luoyi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then please come this way..."

After sitting in the Nuan Pavilion and looking at the original dishes, Xiao Luoyi felt awkward.

The meal just now was relatively simple, and I had eaten it myself.

Ask the leader of Nanzhao to eat the leftovers he has eaten...

You are so brave!

Even if the head of the Xiao family comes, he wouldn't dare to say such stupid things, right?

The emperor's guard brought clean bowls and chopsticks, and the emperor pointed to the four dishes and one soup on the table: "Eat first? I'm hungry."

"Ah? Oh! OK, OK!" Xiao Luoyi agreed, glanced at Chen Huaijin, and the couple picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

The king wore a half-face mask to cover his face and had a short beard on his chin, but it did not prevent him from eating.

The three of them ate, and the king ate the most deliciously and comfortably. Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin ate very reservedly: mainly because they were too confused, unfamiliar, and didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, not long after, the steward brought out two stir-fried dishes and some wine.

With wine, it will be easier.

Chen Huaijin asked the king: "Master, would you like some wine?"

The king nodded: "Okay."

Chen Huaijin poured the wine, and the monarch raised the cup: "Dry it."

Chen Huaijin picked up the cup and said, "Yes."

After finishing the drink, Chen Huaijin poured the wine again, and the monarch raised the glass again: "Dry it."

Chen Huaijin: "Yes..."

The two of them started drinking in silence.

Cup after cup...

Xiao Luoyi was stunned.

Watching Chen Huaijin drink, his eyes gradually drifted away. Watching the king's straight back relax and collapse from time to time, and then straighten again.

How did these two men start drinking together?

Why fight for wine?

Seeing that one jar of wine was drained, and the king raised his hand to call for the second jar, Xiao Luoyi had to bravely stand up and stop him.

"Then what, my lord, my husband's drinking capacity is limited, why don't you...want to drink again tomorrow?"

The king paused with his raised hand, glanced at Chen Huaijin, then at Xiao Luoyi, and nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Luoyi felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly put food in Chen Huaijin's bowl: "Eat some food first! Eat some food first."

The drunkenness of this meal was frightening.

Chen Huaijin put down the cup obediently and glanced at the king provocatively before starting to eat.

I'm not afraid that you have a good drinking capacity, it's just that my wife won't let me drink!

The leader of the country: "..."

Xiao Luoyi: "..."

The king's arrival was too sudden, and there were no precious dishes in the kitchen. In desperation, the steward cooked all the rice noodles for tomorrow and served them.

Xiao Luoyi gave Chen Huaijin a bowl of rice noodles and suddenly found that the bowl was empty.

The noble king didn't know if it was because of drinking, but he stared at Chen Huaijin eating rice noodles.

Xiao Luoyi boldly asked: "How about... I get you a bowl of rice noodles too?"

King: "Okay."

So Xiao Luoyi brought another bowl of rice noodles to the king.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Luoyi's back was wet, indicating that this was the most tiring meal in his two lives combined.

As a "landlord", he and Chen Huaijin also asked the king to go back to his room to rest.

But the king looked at Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi with bright eyes: "I'm not sleepy now, are you?"

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin looked at each other: If you are not sleepy, how can we be sleepy?

So Xiao Luoyi waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not sleepy! I'm not sleepy..."

"Then, shall we have some tea with you?"

"Yes." The king nodded his noble head, and then a group of servants came in, removed the food and wine, and put tea on the table.

The people next to the king placed various snacks and snacks, which were obviously brought from Dali City in advance.

The two parties sat down, and the king began to chat seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that you used to live in this Zhuangzi?"

This question was asked by Xiao Luoyi. Xiao Luoyi nodded hurriedly and told some of the things he could remember.

"I heard that you were chased by Zheng Mingyue's people and went to Yongzhou Mansion?"

Xiao Luoyi answered cautiously this time: "Uh... I was being chased, but I'm not sure who sent someone to chase him."

"Then you were picked up by Chen Huaijin and married to him?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you live in Yongzhou Mansion?" The king suddenly looked at Chen Huaijin.

Chen Huaijin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to speak anymore, and then said: "I hunt."

"Oh?" The king said oh and did not answer. He only looked at Chen Huaijin with interest in his eyes.

After three seconds of silence, seeing the king waiting for him to speak, Chen Huaijin had no choice but to talk dryly about his hunting...

"What about your parents?"

Chen Huaijin: "..."

The king's words are somewhat offensive, but he is the king, and he is on his own territory, so let's talk about it.

So Chen Huaijin said calmly: "My father said that the three of us brothers were bastards, so he kicked our brothers and my mother out of the house. We followed my mother to settle in Yongzhou Mansion..."

When talking about the past, Chen Huaijin's tone was indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story, but to Xiao Luoyi's ears, he could hear the grievance and anger hidden in his plain tone.

Those bastards on Luo Ma Slope owe Chen Huaijin an apology.
