Zhu Houzhao is confused every day, only caring about eating, drinking and having fun. In fact, the programs in the Leopard Room are just the only ones, but they can make them enjoy it.

Chen Xi stood at the door of one of the leopard rooms, and there was a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo from inside. The melodious sound alone made Chen Xi know how many beautiful pictures there were behind him.

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "The biggest failure of the old emperor was to suppress his son's nature and want his son to grow up in the direction he planned. Who would have thought that after Zhu Houzhao was in power, he wanted to try everything himself, and he would not be able to come out if he got stuck. He would do his own thing... I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy for me to change Zhu Houzhao's character."

Qian Ning saw Chen Xi remain silent and was a little worried, but he did not dare to offend the important minister in the eyes of the emperor, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Shen, Your Majesty needs a little preparation. Please wait here for a moment... Will someone prepare for you and serve you with tea?"

Qian Ning was very respectful in his words. Chen Xi looked at him and said, "No need, as a minister, it is just right to stand and wait. If it is convenient, please go in and pass it on, and say that in addition to having private matters to discuss with Your Majesty, I also have official duties to discuss, so that Your Majesty can come out as soon as possible."

Qian Ning couldn't help but be shocked.

This Lord Shen is so rude to speak. Even when facing the emperor of the Nine Five, he did not show absolute respect. This is very different from the people he usually sees.

Usually, those people, when they see the emperor, are as respectful as mice and cats, are afraid of making mistakes, which will cause Zhu Houzhao to be disgusted. At the very least, they will lose their official position and title, and at the worst, they will lose their lives. When Mr. Shen entered the leopard room, he was as relaxed and comfortable as he returned to his own home, and was not at all restrained, making people unable to understand where he got the confidence.

Qian Ning entered the yard and informed him. Chen Xi stayed at the door to look at him. He wanted to know what the leopard house built by Liu Jin, Qian Ning and others was, which made Zhu Houzhao obsessed with it and almost regarded it as his home.

Soon, the sound of silk and bamboo in the back hall stopped. After a while, the footsteps sounded, and Zhu Houzhao and Qian Ning walked out of the gate of the courtyard one after another.

When Zhu Houzhao saw Chen Xi, his eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen is back?"

It was as if I had only known that Chen Xi was back, but there had been some people rumored before, and Chen Xi thought to himself: "How many days have you been the emperor and have you learned to be an acting school?"

Chen Xi bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is in peace."

Zhu Houzhao came to Chen Xi and said with a smile: "It's great that sir is back. I'm worried about it every day. sir has gone to the Ministry of War... Oh, by the way, have you been home? I heard that there was a fire in my house and I was worried about it and couldn't sleep or eat."

The words were sincere, but Chen Xi knew that Zhu Houzhao was just talking casually... You guy eats, drinks, and has fun every day, and you still say that you can't sleep or eat, and you are cheating?

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I came to visit you today, mainly to talk about this matter."

"ah!?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she was a little surprised and frowned. She obviously didn't want to continue discussing with Chen Xi about who set fire.

Before Xie Qian came to seek justice, Zhu Houzhao was overwhelmed. After all, Liu Jin is doing very well now, and he has solved a lot of trouble for him and is doing his best to enjoy him. He is really unwilling to punish him.

But Chen Xi didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with doing this, and said politely: "Then I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness. It just so happened that I have some military matters to discuss with Your Majesty, so I will make an agreement at the banquet."

Zhu Houzhao was amused when she heard this, rubbed her hands and said, "It's so great, I've never been here..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered that she had treated Sima Zhenren in the Leopard Room before, but Sima Zhenren was just a wise man with no official position and no qualities. She still felt a little contempt in her heart.

Zhu Houzhao was happy that he could greet a famous minister in the court where he ate, drank and had fun. This person was his husband, and he felt a sense of excitement of breaking through taboos. After he ascended the throne, he acted absurdly, but because Chen Xi was willing to stay and receive hospitality, it was as if the ridiculous things he did were recognized.

Zhu Houzhao waved her hand: "Arrang the best drinks, oh by the way, let those singers and dancers prepare, I will be with Mr. Chen today without getting drunk!"

Qian Ning heard this and felt agitation in his heart, hoping that Chen Xi would refuse. But when he looked at Chen Xi with anticipation, Chen Xi looked calm, as if he had no intention of resisting. At this time, Qian Ning had no choice but to bow his orders and asked someone to notify Liu Jin after coming out.

After that, Qian Ning arranged a banquet while speculating: "Mr. Shen is a representative figure of Chinese civil officials in the court. When he was young, he was the third year and the first place to win the world. Later, he entered the Hanlin Academy Zhan Shifu to become the emperor's rank. Later, he made great achievements in the battles in the south and north. He can be said to be a representative of generals and prime ministers. Such a person would not allow His Majesty to be addicted to leisure and joy. But why did Lord. Shen come here without talking about setting fires or accusing His Majesty of not doing his job properly, but instead seeking fun with His Majesty? Is there any conspiracy or tricks?"

"No, no, you must discuss this matter with Eunuch Liu immediately. Even if Eunuch Liu is doing things more and more proficiently, it is very easy to cause trouble for him. I have to try to avoid being too close to him, but some things must be followed by his arrangements. Who told him to control the government?"

Thinking of this, Qian Ning did not go back to eat, drink and have fun with Zhu Houzhao and Shen Xi, but went to the door of the leopard room in the front yard to prepare to welcome Liu Jin.

In the spacious room where Zhu Houzhao held a banquet, the banquet was ready quickly.

Zhu Houzhao sat in the host's seat and prepared a guest seat for Chen Xi alone. The wine, vegetables, fruits and snacks were ready-made. After one square, there were more than twenty dishes in each color, without repeating them. Chen Xi saw that these things were always available in the imperial kitchen in the palace. Zhu Houzhao moved the palace sergeant yamen to the leopard room.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Xi with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you have been back from afar. I believe you have seen a lot along the way. I wonder if you can share it with me?"

Chen Xi looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were fiddling with dishes, then turned to look at Zhu Houzhao and said, "What do you want to know? I have experienced too many things, and I don't know where to start for a while. It's better for Your Majesty to ask me one thing and answer one thing."

"Um!?"

Zhu Houzhao looked confused, "I just want to know what Mr. Chen saw and heard along the way. Should I ask the question first?"
