Li Shui was watching with great interest, but when he turned his head, he saw Mrs. Li's disapproving expression, so he laughed dryly.

Li Xin was a rough man and didn't notice this at all, but dragged Li Shui to the banquet.

He hadn't eaten since he woke up, and Li Shui was indeed hungry.

But as the dishes were served one after another, Li Shui was a little speechless.

There are many types of chicken, duck, and fish. However, the seasonings include only salt and Sichuan peppercorns, and the taste is really hard to compliment.

As for fruits, they are plums and apricots.

The staple food is steamed millet.

Li Shui sighed and had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and take a sip. The wine inside had a very light taste and was just a bit alcoholic, more like sugar water.

Seeing Li Xin devouring the food, Li Shui thought to himself: "The material civilization of the ancients still needs me to save it."

How can there be no singing and dancing at the banquet?

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, a group of maiko danced in the center of the hall.

Li Shui looked at it for a while and became bored.

The rhythm of the music is so slow that the listeners will feel drowsy. As for the maiko... she wears too many clothes.

General Li Xin, on the other hand, watched with gusto, looking like he was happy to be in Shu.

Li Shui sighed and thought: "The spiritual civilization of the ancients also needs me to save it."

After a while, Mrs. Li was the first to stand up, holding the wine glass and said: "When I first met Mr. Huai, I just thought that he was young, and never thought that he really had unique skills. This time I was able to get promoted to a higher position, all thanks to

Lord Huai has saved the world. I wish you a toast to Lord Huai."

Li Shui quickly picked up the wine glass, signaled to Mrs. Li from afar, and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Xin said: "Madam, although Brother Huai is young, he really has unique skills. I was seriously injured in Chudi that day, all because of Brother Huai..."

Before Li Xin finished speaking, Mrs. Li said angrily: "Chu Di, Chu Di, I talk about it every day. Is it honorable to lose a battle? Just say it to everyone."

Li Xin smiled coquettishly, and then said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, let me toast you."

Li Shui drank it all in one gulp.

In fact, he had no idea what happened in Chudi. The memories Huaiguzi left behind were really few, and they were just fragments. Unless someone reminded him, it would be difficult to recall them.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening. No matter how unpalatable the food was, Li Shui was still full. No matter how light the wine was, he was still slightly tipsy.

And Li Xin was even more tongue-tied. He held the wine glass and said, "In today's court meeting, I heard that the king is going to reward Brother Huai with a gold medal to avoid death? The gold medal has probably been prepared, and Brother Huai will probably get it tomorrow."

Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "That's the best. Brother Li has to attend court every day?"

Li Xin sighed: "That's not the case. It's just that the king has to decide on a name in the past few days. He has called together high-ranking civil and military ministers to discuss it together."

"Those civil servants are really annoying. Some say they are called Emperor Tai, some say they are called Emperor Qin. They quote scriptures and argue endlessly. We, a bunch of rough guys, can't get a word in. We stand there dryly every day, which is very boring.

.”

"What's even more hateful is Chun Yuyue. Today I couldn't help but interject something, and he immediately shouted: What do you know? Don't talk nonsense."

"It made those bastards burst into laughter. It really pissed me off."

Mrs. Li advised from the side: "Don't get angry with Chun Yuyue, he is your sister-in-law after all. What's more, last time you were in critical condition, he also helped to save your life."

Li Xin poured himself a sip of wine and said, "If I hadn't thought about this, I would have beaten him on the spot."

Mrs. Li said speechlessly: "How can you be so disrespectful of etiquette in front of the king?"

Li Xin suddenly chuckled, showing a hint of shrewdness in his recklessness: "The more rude I am, the more Your Majesty feels that I am careless and straightforward, so he trusts me more."

Li Shui looked a little speechless: "This Li Xin is a bit stupid and smart."

Li Xin sighed, placed the wine glass heavily on the table, and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, you are an alchemist, and you once met an immortal in a dream, and you are knowledgeable. Please help me give me an idea, what name should the king choose?"

What’s a better number? I won’t have to stand around for a few hours when I get to the court meeting tomorrow.”

Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "Emperor."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment: "Two words? Since ancient times, honorific titles have been nothing but emperor, king, and emperor. There has never been a two-character title. This... I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."

Li Shui said: "The Qin Dynasty admires Legalism. It advocates learning from the present rather than learning from the past. The ancients did not have the title of emperor, why can't they have it today? Now the emperor of the Qin Dynasty has unified the world and created peace for all ages. This is the beginning of heaven and earth, something that has never happened in ancient times.

Also, having double titles can highlight the emperor's majesty. It is also said that having the virtue of three emperors can equal the merits of five emperors."

Li Xin was stunned for a while and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, this is a wonderful statement."

Then, he took out a piece of bamboo and wrote down Li Shui's words carefully.

Li Shuixin kept talking nonsense for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he left drunkenly.

The young eunuch Wujiao has been waiting outside for a long time.

He had a very miserable day. He was not qualified to participate in Li Xin's banquet. He could only huddle with the servants of the Li family and eat boiled beans and rice.

It was just that the food was hard to swallow. The key was that the servants, big and small, kept urging me to drink. After drinking more than ten drinks, they stared at me closely, wanting to see how I went to the toilet.

Thinking of this, Wu Jiao couldn't help but want to scold him. This Li Xin is a reckless man, and the servants of the Li family are also reckless. There are really no rules at all.

But he can't afford to offend Li Xin. Others don't understand, but they, the eunuchs living in the palace, still know it. The one your king trusts the most is actually Li Xin.

After finally waiting for Li Shui to come out, Wu Jiao couldn't wait to take him to the carriage.

He had to be anxious. If he didn't hurry up, he might wet his pants.

When passing by the wine shop, the owner of Zuixianjiu happily came up to him holding his money bag and shouted: "Master Huai, the villain has brought..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiao jumped out of the carriage and slapped the boss hard: "You dare to stop the carriage in the palace?"

Then he jumped into the car and told the groom: "Faster."

He really had to go faster, otherwise, he would pee on the car.

Li Shui knew nothing about all this, he had fallen asleep drunk.

Li Shui didn't know how he returned to the alchemy room.

The rooster crowed three times, and Li Shui was woken up, but he turned over and fell asleep again.

As for Li Xin, he dressed up in a hurry, took the bamboo pieces prepared in advance, and went to the court happily.

"Emperor, Emperor. Hehe... Brother Huai is indeed an expert. How did you come up with this? This title becomes more and more pleasant to my ears the more I hear it, as if it is destined to be like this."
