"Zhang Ananda, you should handle this matter yourself."
Seeing that Zhou Yu was serious, Li Shimin immediately put all his messy thoughts behind him.
If what Zhou Yu said was true, then his daughter's marriage with the Changsun family had to be called off.
Seeing his daughter secretly looking at Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but feel even more irritated.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, the sworn brotherhood you just mentioned doesn't mean you want me to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, right?"
Seeing that Li Shimin had arranged people to investigate, Zhou Yu's mind suddenly became active again.
As long as he is not sent to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, being Li Shimin's younger brother is pretty good.
This title is not only safer than that of a biological brother, but also equally intimidating.
After all, who can resist the temptation of being on equal footing with Tang Sanzang?
"Little Nengjun, I don't want you to go to the West to obtain the scriptures."
Before Li Shimin could come to his senses, the little princess who was nestling in Zhou Yu's arms raised her head nervously.
She had just tasted the sweetness of time travel, how could she let Zhou Yu leave!
"I don't understand what you mean, young master. If you don't want to be sworn brothers with me, I won't force you."
Although he was quite unhappy, Li Er could understand it.
If the investigation results are really as Zhou Yu said, my daughter's marriage must be cancelled.
At that time, no matter who his daughter was betrothed to, she would invisibly offend Changsun Wuji.
In that case, it would be better to let Zhou Yu get a bargain.
But just as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu stood up with an excited look on his face and said, "As long as you don't go to the West to obtain the scriptures, I am willing to become your sworn brother."
As he spoke, without waiting for Li Er's response, he walked straight to the box not far away.
In that box, there were two bottles of Maozi.
That thing is not too low-class for sworn brotherhood.
But his words caused several people to sprain their backs at the same time.
The first one is Li Er.
The previous moment, he was still reluctantly thinking about how to act like Old Taishan.
The next moment, the imagined relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law turned into brothers again.
Like Li Er, Empress Changsun's mood also experienced twists and turns.
certainly.
The most confused among them was Li Lizhi, who stood up bravely.
She originally thought she was helping Zhou Yu out of trouble.
But seeing Zhou Yu's expression, he looked like he was very happy.
For a moment, her mood suddenly became complicated.
Zhou Yu, who was busy looking for Mao Zi, naturally did not notice the changes in their expressions.
At this time, he had already skillfully opened the packaging of Maozi.
"Your Majesty, this is our fine wine. Let us swear brotherhood with this wine. It will definitely not bring disgrace upon your title of Heavenly Khan."
As he spoke, he opened the bottle of wine.
The next moment, the rich aroma of wine attracted Li Er's attention.
"This wine... is really fragrant."
Before the Maozi was poured out, Li Er couldn't help smacking his lips.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately took the gift glass and poured two cups.
Looking at the crystal clear wine glass in his hand, Li Shimin seemed to have his soul bewitched.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Zhou Yu had no choice but to clink his cup with him. "Your Majesty, I don't understand the process of sworn brotherhood either. How about you take the lead?"
"Ah? Oh! I'll have someone burn incense and offer sacrifices to the heavens right away."
Awakened by the crisp sound of clinking glasses, Li Shimin's old face suddenly turned red.
Sniffing greedily, he immediately waved to the side.
Not long after, an incense table was set up in the imperial garden.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry to drink, Li Er couldn't wait to pull Zhou Yu over as soon as the incense table was set up.
Immediately afterwards, the two completed the sworn brotherhood ceremony with the help of a eunuch.
Seeing Zhou Yu spilling the wine on the ground with the glass in his hand, Li Er felt his heart was bleeding.
However, facing Zhou Yu's puzzled look, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Come, Your Majesty, let's drink the second cup together."
Zhou Yu naturally saw all of Li Shimin's expressions.
Now that the sworn brotherhood ceremony was complete, his tone became much more casual.
He took the Maozi and filled Li Er's glass. He clinked the glass with his hands, tilted his head back, and drank the wine directly into his stomach.
"Okay, my brother has a good alcohol tolerance."
Li Shimin could naturally feel Zhou Yu's changes.
Seeing Zhou Yu being so generous, he couldn't help but praise him.
After saying that, he immediately followed suit, picked up the wine glass and drank it.
Immediately afterwards, a violent cough was heard in the Imperial Garden, "Cough cough cough, this wine... is so strong..."
Seeing Li Shimin embarrassed, Zhou Yu did not show any fear. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder like a good friend.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, this wine is the mellow and fragrant type. I'll bring you a few bottles of Niu Er someday. That wine is really refreshing to drink!"
Seeing Zhou Yu so casual, Empress Changsun also found it funny.
Glancing at her gloomy eldest daughter, she couldn't help but speak up, "I heard that the young master is still unmarried. I wonder if he has found someone he likes?"
"Marriage depends on fate. I'm not in a hurry right now."
Hearing Empress Changsun's question, Zhou Yu first toasted his elder brother again, and then waved his hand casually.
"Young Master is already this old, how can he not be anxious?"
Empress Changsun expressed her incomprehension.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately shook his head and explained, "Our place is different from the Tang Dynasty. Take Li Zhi for example, if nothing unexpected happens, she might marry Zhang Sun Chong next year. But in our place, she's still just a child at this age. I just passed the legal marriage age this year, so there's no rush to get married."
"Ajie is still a child, she can't marry Xiaonengjun~"
Just as Empress Changsun frowned and wondered whether Zhou Yu's words were true or false.
The little princess, who was concentrating on eating the braised pork, mumbled something incoherently.
When Li Lizhi heard this, her pretty face immediately turned red like an apple.
Cheng Yang, who was also busy eating, heard this and first glanced at his elder sister before saying seriously, "Si Zi, the young master is our uncle now, please don't say anything nonsense."
"Little Neng-jun is just Little Neng-jun~"
Regarding her second sister's education, the little princess said, "I don't listen."
However, Li Lizhi next to her looked at her two younger sisters with a complicated expression, then silently sat back next to her mother.
Judging from the current situation, it is clearly wishful thinking.
Upon seeing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but reach out and hold her daughter's hand.
"Brother, we are family and should not have different opinions. I heard that you brought a lot of treasures with you. Why don't you show them off?"
Li Er, who drank another cup of Maotai, now had a dazed look in his eyes.
After wolfing down the food, he looked at Zhou Yu with curiosity.
Compared to food and wine, he is more interested in bicycles.
Through his brief time with Zhou Yu, he found that Zhou Yu's personality was free and unrestrained, which was actually quite tolerant of his temper.
Thinking of the good things Zhou Yu brought, he couldn't help but ask.
