Chapter 892: Let's All Eat Together

position just now"Sānbǎo was taken aback for a moment, wanting to say he didn't know, but seeing Lǐ Chén's playful eyes, he immediately abandoned that clever choice. He said, "Your Highness, will you...Chapter 892 Everyone Sit Down and Eat Together

Guan Zhiwei personally took charge, and the couple worked together to get a table of dishes ready quickly.

It's clear that Guan Zhiwei has spared no expense, and all the dishes served are rare delicacies.

On this side, the wine table has been set up. Guan Zhiwei respectfully invited Li Chen to take a seat.

After Li Chen sat down, Guan Zhiwei intended to have someone carry his son away.

According to ancient customs, women and children were not allowed to eat at the table.

We have to wait until the guests finish eating and leave.

Li Chen spoke up proactively, "Call your wife and children over. Have your family join me for a meal."

Guan Zhiwei was somewhat taken aback.

He felt that Li Chen had been too nice to him today.

But Li Chen had made the request, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately sent someone to call his wife and children back.

Guan Zhiwei's wife was a woman with lingering charm, not unattractive and quite tasteful. She was just shy and timid, probably because she had heard about Li Chen's identity from Guan Zhiwei beforehand, so she acted nervously and spoke haltingly.

As for the child, he seemed to really like Li Chen, constantly leaning against him.

Guan Zhiwei scolded a couple of words, Li Chen smiled and waved his hand, showing extraordinary tolerance to this child.

As for the three treasures, Li Chen sat at a place where he could eat, but there was no place for him. He had to stand behind Li Chen all the time and serve him.

Li Chen did not speak, and Guan Zhiwei would naturally not invite San Bao.

If Li Chen were not around, San Bao, as the Factory Director of Dongchang, would naturally be higher in status than him. But with Li Chen present, San Bao was essentially a servant. How could a servant sit at the same table as his master

One table of dishes, after eating for a while, Li Chen put down his chopsticks.

As soon as he did that, Guan Zhiwei and his wife immediately put down their chopsticks.

Only the clueless child was still gnawing on a pig's trotter.

"Guan Zhiwei, how long have you been serving this palace" Li Chen asked.

Gu Zhiwei answered without hesitation, "More than a year and eight months."

Li Chen nodded and said, “I have been in charge of governing the country for less than two years, and you have served me for a year and eight months. It's not short.”

"Over the past year or so, you've worked hard and done many things well. This palace has seen it all."

Guan Zhiwei immediately stood up and said: "To serve His Highness with all my heart and soul is the duty of a lowly official, and it is also my fortune. I dare not speak of merits, Your Highness has overwhelmed me."

"Sit down, sit down."

Li Chen pointed at Guan ZhiWei's seat and said, "I came here today just to have a casual chat with you. There's no need to be so stiff."

Guan Zhiwei smiled and quickly sat down.

"Just when Li Chen spoke the next words, Guan Zhiwei almost fell off his chair in shock."

“This palace is a sentimental person, and I can see who among those below me are truly working hard for this palace and who are just going through the motions. In my view, you and Xu Changqing have both been with this palace since long ago, and you both work diligently and tirelessly. In the future, you will certainly not be lacking in wealth and honor.”

But unfortunately, some people just won't live to see that day.

Guan Zhiwei raised his head, his face ashen. He forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that"

As if he hadn't heard him, Li Chen raised his cup and took a sip, saying, "This wine is good, but this palace can't tell where it's from."

"In response to Your Highness, yes, it is my own brew."

Guan Zhiwei's wife said carefully, "Every year I make some osmanthus wine."

"Well, no wonder there's a hint of osmanthus fragrance."

Li Chen gave a nod of approval, then turned his face to Guan Zhiwei, who was clearly shaken by his previous words, and said in a gentle voice: "What did Zhao Xuanji offer you"
