I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Invited to dinner by Li Shimin!
Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up, this is great news, it is common for His Majesty to entertain officials, but it is rare to invite people to dinner in private.

Does this mean... from now on, I will become His Majesty's confidant?
If Li Jing returns home and Cheng Yao pretends to be dead, will he be able to enjoy the position of minister of the Ministry of War?

This made Guo Xiaoke's heart beat violently.

He bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I will go back and change my clothes..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted with a wave of his hand, shook his head and said, "No need, the general is wearing armor."

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback.

Didn't His Majesty mean going to Tongfu restaurant for dinner?Then this meal is almost meaningless...

Li Shimin changed into plain clothes, which made Guo Xiaoke heave a sigh of relief, although he didn't know what His Majesty meant, but judging by his actions, he still wanted to go to Tongfu Restaurant.

Sure enough, Li Shimin, who was dressed casually, took Guo Xiaoke, who was armor, to the Tongfu Restaurant.

After lunch, there were not many customers in the restaurant.

Yin Xuan looked at the little girls studying the steam engine, and at the same time looked at the bicycle sales plan that Li Shu had given him. Hearing the heavy footsteps, he raised his head.

It's Li Shimin.Beside him was a middle-aged man in armor.

Armor is forbidden.

The only ones who can wear armor in Chang'an City are the Twelve Guards, and the only ones who can wear such expensive armor are military officers...

At this time, the person who can be attracted by Li Shimin... Except Guo Xiaoke, I am afraid it will not be anyone else.

Thinking of this, Yin Xuan got up, bowed to Guo Xiaoke, and said with a smile: "General Guo is here, and the fluffy plants are shining, come and sit, sit inside."

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded openly.

The two found a table and sat down.

Zhao Yue stared at Guo Xiaoke, this is not a stranger, but a familiar face, not the kind of acquaintance who is often rubbed with wine by old man Li.

He even remembered clearly that when the new year was approaching, he and the customer surnamed Cheng drank too much, and were still wrestling in front of the restaurant.

This unremarkable guest turned out to be General Guo Xiaoke, who was widely rumored in Chang'an City?

Zhao Yue was a little at a loss.

"Still the old rules today?" Yin Xuan asked Guo Xiaoke.

Guo Xiaoke nodded: "Yes, there will be an extra red robe to announce the good news and Dapeng to spread its wings."

Zhao Yue stared at Yin Xuan, this is General Guo!Why is the shopkeeper not surprised at all?Did the shopkeeper already know the identity of General Guo?
Yin Xuan turned around and went to the kitchen.

Li Shimin blew his beard and stared, good guy... Didn't the old man even say hello when he came?

After the dishes were ready, Zhao Yue served them carefully, then sat at the door and began to think.Since this ordinary person is General Guo.

Who would be the one wrestling with General Guo?It can't be that General Guo drinks and throws around naked with someone he doesn't know.

The shopkeeper's father-in-law, who claims to be a seventh rank, oh, no, he is now a sixth rank official, can sit on an equal footing with General Guo, and even occupy a dominant position... Will it be as simple as he said?

And that little old man who only knows how to drink.

And those stinky, shameless little old men.

Thinking of this, especially when he remembered that he had eaten twelve cannons released by Li Yuan, Zhao Yue couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

No one noticed Zhao Yue who was struggling in his heart.

Yin Xuan came out with a jar of two catties of wine from the backyard and put it on their table: "General Guo, thank you very much for this matter. I invited you for this drink."

"You can drink it to your heart's content today, and I will pay whatever you want."

The light in Guo Xiaoke's eyes became more intense, and he gave Yin Xuan a thumbs up: "The store is rich, so I will not be polite today."

Li Shimin rubbed his hands, and his eyes were also shining.

"You still have to drink less." Yin Xuan counted with his fingers, "Drink up to four today... Forget it, drink up to five taels today."

Li Shimin couldn't help but slapped the table: "Why did he just drink it at will, but I can only drink five taels!"

Yin Xuan glanced at him: "Alcohol is a good thing, but drinking too much is not good for your health."

After speaking, he paused and said meaningfully: "You are my cheap father-in-law, of course I have to take care of your health."

Li Shimin was taken aback, spat angrily, and kicked Guo Xiaoke unceremoniously: "Today is considered a good day for you, drink more, the store has finally made a treat, and he has to bleed profusely."

Guo Xiaoke nodded with a smile.

Li Shimin guarded his five taels of wine and drank until the evening before returning with a hint of drunkenness.

Guo Xiaoke was so drunk that he couldn't walk, he was wearing armor, he was very heavy, he could fall five or six steps with one step, and was finally sent back home by the Jinwu Guard.

In the imperial city.

Li Shimin lay on the lap pillow of Empress Changsun and sighed: "Maid Guanyin, do you know that the boy in the store knows my identity."

Empress Changsun was rubbing her head for Li Shimin, when she heard this, she paused slightly: "Your Majesty told him?"

Li Shimin shook his head, patted Empress Changsun's hand, and signaled her to continue: "I didn't tell him, but today I took Guo Xiaoke to his restaurant, and didn't let Guo Xiaoke conceal his identity."

"Seeing that he wasn't surprised at all, he didn't ask me how this mere sixth-rank official got mixed up with General Guo."

Empress Changsun frowned slightly: "Then how should His Majesty get along with the store from now on?"

She was in a slightly bad mood.

Ever since she left the palace every day, this period of time was the happiest she had ever lived. Every day she played mahjong with Wang Shi, Fang Lu Shi, and Cheng Cui Shi, and sometimes went out for outings together.

Just like what the shopkeeper said, this is indeed very beneficial to her illness, and her heart is no longer as tight as before.

But... Li Shimin's identity has been exposed, and this kind of leisurely life is probably coming to an end.

Empress Changsun felt a little sad for a while.

Li Shimin shook his head again: "What it was before, it will still be what it will be in the future."

Empress Changsun was taken aback.

Li Shimin cursed: "That boy in the store is so bold, I thought he had to restrain himself after knowing my identity, but who knows, he dared to control me today!"

"It's just to take the gift of helping his kid vent his anger, and he only let me drink five taels of wine today!"

Scolded for a while.

Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing, Li Shimin let out a breath, and continued to speak in a good voice: "I don't know when the store knew about it."

"But he told me today that I'm his cheap father-in-law..."

"It's good to get along in this way. I plan to reveal my identity when I recruit him into the court, but he can't enter the court now. It's not flattering to be exposed."
