Zhao Jun walked to the door with some confusion and helplessness.

When Sun Cheng saw her from afar, his eyes lit up and he came up to meet her.

"Master Zhao, you are back, the king is waiting for you in the house."

Sun Cheng said with a smile.

"What's the matter with your majesty looking for me so late?"

She quietly inquired with Sun Cheng.

"I don't know about this slave. It shouldn't be a bad thing. Your Majesty even asked someone to set up a hot pot for dinner."

Sun Cheng revealed in a low voice that the two had already walked into the yard while speaking.

Hot pot dinner? !
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up, his nose wrinkled, and the courtyard was already filled with the aroma of hot pot.

Great, a steaming hot pot meal on a night of overworked brains.

Zhao Jun decided to unilaterally forgive Ying Zheng for his uninvited visit.

Sun Cheng followed her to the yard and quietly retreated.

Ying Zheng will be sitting at the door of her room, the window is wide open, and the fragrance is coming from inside.

Ying Zheng saw Zhao Jun walking through the window.

She bounced into the room, glanced at the ingredients on the table quickly, and then greeted Ying Zheng.

"My lord, why did your lord come to eat with me today? What's the matter?"

She bluntly sat down on the chair opposite Ying Zheng and asked.

"It's nothing serious, why did you come back so late."

Ying Zheng did not answer directly but began to ask her questions.

"Oh, today I chatted with Juzi about the steam ship before and the steam locomotive to be done next, so I wasted a little time."

Zhao Jun was not idle, and while answering, he called the waiters outside the door to light up the stove.

Yingzheng should have been waiting for her before. Although the food was ready, the fire hadn't been lit yet.

When the coal stove gradually started to light up and everyone around her retreated, she finally decided to chat with Ying Zheng.

"Ah."

Ying Zheng nodded and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Zhao Jun sat for a while looking at the bottom of the pot that hadn't yet bubbled, and then took a sneak peek at Ying Zheng who was silent and unable to tell his mood.

In such a quiet atmosphere, it seems that I still need to take the initiative to speak.

She sighed to herself.

Suddenly, something on the table that had not been carefully looked at just now caught her attention.

Zhao Jun picked up the bottle and recognized it immediately.

"My lord, isn't this the wine I brought back from Tuo Mengyi to give you?"

"You haven't had a drink?"

She glanced at the bottle in surprise, then stared at Ying Zheng with wide eyes.

This bottle was clearly burned for wine making in Berkshire.

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes to block her direct gaze.

"Well, there is no occasion to drink this wine."

It's no fun drinking alone.

Would it be a waste to drink at a banquet with those ministers.

It's a pity that Fusu can't drink well and can't drink with him.

In the end, after all the calculations, I can only wait for Zhao Jun to come back before drinking.

So this wine is put in now.

"Okay, let me pick up the bargain."

Zhao Jun shouted excitedly, carefully took the bottle and opened the sealed bottle.

As long as the cap is not opened, the wine will not spoil.

She sniffed lightly and it was still the same smell.

"My lord, I'll pour it for you. The taste of this wine is definitely better than what you've had before. Of course, it's also very strong."

Zhao Jun quickly filled two cups, and just as the hot pot was ready at this time, the two of them drank the food one sip at a time.

From the first bite, Ying Zheng knew what she said was true.

This wine was indeed full-bodied and spicy, and it was completely different from what he had drunk before.

The two drank while facing the smoke from Yinyin's hot pot.

From time to time, I also chatted a few irrelevant homely words.

Although the overall atmosphere is not very enthusiastic, Zhao Jun is already very satisfied.

She was very satisfied with her meal, and the occasional chat did not delay her from eating.

"The prickly ash in today's hot pot is what you brought back from Berkshire, and the taste seems to be stronger."

Ying Zheng took the initiative to stir up a topic.

Zhao Jun buried his head in cooking and nodded in approval.

"The wine tastes good, you can take more next time."

Zhao Jun buried his head in cooking and nodded in agreement.

"What do you think of the enfeoffment system? It's better than the county system."

Zhao Jun buried his head in cooking and was just about to nod his head in agreement.

Sudden.

What did he just say?

Enfeoffing counties?

Zhao Jun's buried head froze, and after a few seconds, she slowly raised her head, meeting Ying Zheng's staring eyes at her.

Her hand holding the vegetables stopped.

Howling inside.

I knew it!I knew it!
How could this guy just treat me to hot pot? How could he be so free!
Sure enough, this is what he is looking for me now!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ying Zheng felt the sadness that was about to burst out of her eyes.

"Ugh."

Ying Zheng sighed helplessly.

"You can eat, the widow is just asking casually."

"It's just that there are ongoing debates in the court about this issue today, and I'm worried that's why I'm asking this question."

He didn't have to talk about government affairs at this time, but he suddenly couldn't help asking.

Zhao Jun retracted his sad eyes and lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

"I can't answer your Majesty's question right now."

She continued to raise her smiling face and ordered another plate of mutton.

"At least we have to wait until the hot pot is finished."

Zhao Jun certainly didn't want to answer this question.

Enfeoffment and counties will always be discussed in the future.

It's just that her head is now covered with hot pot, and she doesn't want to answer at all.

Ying Zheng didn't force her to answer at first, but what she said now made Ying Zheng twitch his lips.

"Well, you eat."

After all, he personally picked up a chopstick of mutton for Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun: I feel flattered...

After that, the two of them didn't mention this matter for a while, and what you said between you and me was commonplace.

There are Zhao Jun’s outside experiences and the changes in Xianyang and Fusu.

In short, when Zhao Jun finally ate his belly full, the atmosphere was pretty good.

Ying Zheng saw that she couldn't eat anymore, so he asked people outside to remove the food.

Zhao Jun can only slump on the chair now, with his legs stretched straight to cover his stomach, feeling comfortable all over.

His face was still slightly red after drinking, his head was slightly drunk, and he really wanted to just fall asleep like this.

But no, not to mention that it is not good for the body to sleep without eating enough, and there is still a big Buddha in front of her to deal with.

Ying Zheng's state was completely different from hers. He was still sitting upright, but his hands were slightly propped on the table, and he finally looked not so upright.

"Your Majesty, after you have finished half the bottle of wine, do you feel anything? The concentration of my wine is still very high."

Zhao Jun opened his eyes wide and wanted to find proof that he was drunk.

Unfortunately, not at all.

That's right, even he was just tipsy after half a bottle of wine, and it was even less likely that Ying Zheng was drunk.

"I don't have time to be drunk."

Ying Zheng glanced at her, very sober.

"Ok."

Zhao Jun barely straightened up, she still had business to talk about.

"By the way, come here and take out the tea over there and make two cups."

She yelled at the waiter outside and explained how to make tea.

Having a cup of tea after drinking and talking about political affairs, this is the atmosphere.
