"very good."

Chen Chu smiled slightly, and withdrew his momentum.

The middle-aged man suddenly felt a burst of relief, but his heart was awe-inspiring.

"From today onwards, you guys have changed your name to Chuying, is there any problem?"

Chen Chu looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly and said.

"Follow Your Majesty's orders."

The middle-aged man lowered his head deeply, not daring to look directly into Chen Chu's eyes.

The figure of Chen Chu standing with his hands behind his back reminded him of the old king in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, with his arrogance and self-confidence.

No, she was even worse than the old king back then.

"Perhaps, under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen, we can really realize that dream..."

"You should all have the secret information of the officials in the royal city."

Chen Chu asked calmly.

"Yes." The middle-aged man replied, "It's all under control."

"Through all these years, I have stretched out my hands randomly, sort it out, and send it to me."

"As ordered."

"Wait, only the fattest ones are needed, even small fish and shrimp."

......

The side hall of the palace.

An informal banquet hosted more than a dozen high-ranking and powerful ministers of the Portis Kingdom.

The dining table was full of delicacies, but no one here paid attention to it, and everyone focused on the entrance of the palace.

A moment later, the queen in black robe came in slowly, holding a book in her hand.

The queen walked to the main seat and sat down, picked up the wine glass, and smiled at the ministers present, "Everyone, let's have a drink together."

After all, the queen drank the crystal clear dark red wine in the glass.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing the queen turn over the empty wine glass, they quickly raised their glasses to drink up the wine.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is there something important about calling me to buy this time?" The minister sitting opposite the queen stood up and asked suspiciously.

"Of course there is something important to do." The Queen smiled, "However, everyone, let's enjoy the delicious food first. If there is something to do, we can discuss it after the meal."

After speaking, the queen picked up the knife and fork and began to deal with the food in front of her.

After Chen Chu finished eating half of the steak, he raised his head and saw that none of the ministers present were using their knives and forks, and they all stared at him in a daze.

"Everyone, please have dinner." Chen Chu stretched out his right hand to spread it out, and flicked it on the table.

The ministers saw that the queen had no intention of talking about business, so they had to start eating according to the queen's wishes.

After drinking and eating, the atmosphere on the table gradually became warmer, and the ministers rushed to express their respect and congratulations to the Queen.

When Chen Chu saw such a situation, he just smiled and said nothing.

After they were full of wine and food, the maids came up, removed the leftovers, and replaced them with a clean table.

"Everyone, how do you feel about this meal?" Chen Chu asked the ministers who were sitting in distress.

"It's so delicious, it's worthy of His Majesty's honorable status."

"Your Majesty the Queen invited me to a banquet, and I am not very honored."

"Since it is Her Majesty's banquet, even wild vegetables on the roadside are delicious, let alone such a delicacy?"

"..."

Complimentary words flowed out from the mouths of ministers one after another, but Chen Chu's expression gradually turned cold.

"Do you know how much this meal cost?" Chen Chu asked, and then said to the minister sitting below, "Marquis Kelie, tell me?"

"Yes." Marquis Klein replied respectfully, "As far as I know, His Majesty's banquet has prepared 36 kinds of rare meat, including the popular deer in Kruta Forest, the water roe deer in Sea Otter Basin, and the Xilu The griffins on Er Plateau... I'm afraid they cost no less than fifteen thousand gold coins, right?"

After finishing speaking, Marquis Kelie looked at the other ministers with some trepidation.

"Well, that's good. Marquis Klein does know a little bit about food." Chen Chu smiled, and then said to a minister who was eager to try, "Duke Ailal, do you have anything to add?"

"Of course, Earl Kret also overlooked one point, that is, the black water clam soup in the middle should be stewed with elf spring water, right?"

Duke Ailal laughed.

two one three borrow money

"Yes, indeed." Chen Chu nodded and smiled, "Is there anything else?"

"And this plate..."

Duke Ailar continuously mentioned the names of various precious ingredients, which amazed Chen Chu and other ministers.

After Duke Ailar, other ministers made detailed supplements.

In the end, the precious ingredients used in a table of dishes were talked about by all the ministers.

"Since everyone is able to understand these precious materials in such a detailed way, you must have been in contact with them often to taste them?" Chen Chu said with a smile.

"How can I taste such precious ingredients often? It's just once in a while." A minister sighed and said, "However, there happen to be some rare and precious ingredients in my house. I dare to invite Her Majesty the Queen to taste them together. If It is a great honor for Her Majesty the Queen to honor you."

As soon as the minister's words fell, other ministers rushed to invite the queen to be their guest.

Her Majesty the Queen loves food, and this message was firmly kept in mind by all the ministers attending the meeting.

Befriend the king, continue to hold the intoxicating power, and enjoy the benefits of power, this is what all ministers think.

"Sure enough, a flattering minister." Chen Chu couldn't help sneering in his heart, "The old king is really smart enough, the royal court is filled with such a group of trash, compared to no one can detect his plan, the real elite, I'm afraid it has long been arranged to do important things, or it is in the underground castle."

"Everyone, as you said, the price of this banquet is [-] gold coins." On the surface, Chen Chu was still smiling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality."

"Your Majesty."
