My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 3699 Drinking to drown one’s sorrows

It took about a cup of tea.

When Liu Mingzhi was about to reach the gate of the palace, a few sharp cries of golden eagles suddenly came from the sky above the palace.

"Bah! Bah!"

When Liu Mingzhi heard the cry of the golden eagle, he paused for a moment and subconsciously raised his head to look up at the cloudless blue sky above his head.

I saw a majestic golden eagle flapping its wings and circling in the blue sky above the palace.

In Young Master Liu's field of vision, the majestic golden eagle circled in the sky for a few circles, roaring, then suddenly flapped its wings and soared straight towards the countries in the eastern and western regions.

"Huh."

Accompanied by another sharp cry, the golden eagle gradually soared away in the cloudless sky.

Young Master Liu's gaze also followed the figure of the golden eagle, moving little by little.

However, after about six or seven breaths, the golden eagle's figure had gradually turned into a small black dot in his sight.

Only after the golden eagle completely disappeared into the blue sky and from his sight did Young Master Liu slowly withdrew his gaze.

After Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze, he gently waved the jade fan with a picture of a vast landscape in his hand, and sighed softly with a faint look in his eyes.

"Ugh!"

No matter how fast the golden eagle can deliver letters, it still takes time to fly from the royal city of the Arab Empire to the capital of Dalong.

There are only six days left until my old man’s 60th birthday.

Whether this birthday letter of mine can reach the hands of my old man Liu Zhian on time depends entirely on God's will.

"The golden eagle has sent a letter. I hope it will be ready to arrive on the tenth day of the tenth month!"

Liu Mingzhi murmured something to himself, then gently waved the carved jade fan in his hand and walked slowly toward the palace gate.

A team of soldiers on duty outside the palace gate saw Young Master Liu slowly walking out of the palace, and they quickly turned around and saluted in unison.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi kept walking, chuckled, and raised his hand to signal.

"No courtesy, no courtesy at all."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and walked straight towards the long street where people were already coming and going.

"You guys continue to be on duty."

"We obey your command and we respectfully send your Majesty off."

After Young Master Liu slowly walked onto the long street, his figure merged directly into the flow of people coming and going.

Under the gaze of a group of soldiers, his figure gradually went away until he disappeared completely.

The sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and time flies like an arrow.

Time passed silently, and six days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The tenth day of the tenth month in the seventh year of Dalong Chengping.

Before we knew it, it was Liu Zhian’s 60th birthday.

On the morning of the tenth day of October, Young Master Liu did not even have breakfast, but directly gathered Qi Yun, the third princess, Qi Ya, the empress, the little cutie and the others to his study.

Then, he took a large group of family members with him and rode on several carriages straight to the east wall of the Arab Kingdom's city.

Royal City, under the east city wall.

After Liu Mingzhi and his family got off the carriage, they immediately saw Song Qing, Liu Song, Du Yu and others who had been waiting at the stairs at the bottom of the city wall for who knows how long.

Song Qing, Liu Song, and the brothers Du Yu saw Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, the third princess, Huang Lingyi, the little cutie and their family getting off several carriages one after another, and they hurriedly came forward to greet them and bowed.

"Third brother, I am honored to be your honor."

"My humble servant greets the young master."

"We greet the Marshal."

"No courtesy, no courtesy at all."

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Marshal."

After Liu Song and the others stood up and turned around to greet Qi Yun, the Third Princess and the other beauties, Qi Yun smiled and gently waved her hand before them.

"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite."

"Yes, thank you, Madam."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Liu Mingzhi closed the carved jade fan in his hand and looked at Song Qing with a faint smile.

  "Hahaha, big brother, it turns out you arrived before our family!

Brother, I was just chatting with Yun'er and Yan'er on the carriage. Big brother, will you arrive a step later than us? "

Hearing this, Song Qing happily replied in a loud voice: "Third brother, today is such a special day, how dare I not come earlier!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, then turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Liu Song.

"Liu Song, Master, have you prepared everything I told you to do last night?"

"In reply to Master, everything has been arranged."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, smiled faintly, raised his hand and pointed at the stairs in front of him leading to the city wall.

"In that case, let's go to the city wall.

Big brother, Yun'er and Yan'er are gone."

"Ok."

"Hey, okay."

"Yeah, yeah, here it comes."

Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips lightly a few times and took the lead towards the stairs.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yun, the third princess, the little cutie, Liu Song and a large group of people hurriedly followed.

When Young Master Liu and his companions arrived at the top of the city wall, they saw no one in sight except for three tables and flags fluttering in the wind on the huge east wall.

Young Master Liu stopped and turned his head to look around the city wall where no one could be seen. He smiled and waved to Qi Ya, Qing Lian, Yun Qingshi, Gu Mo Rongrong, and Xue Bizhu sisters who were carrying food boxes behind him.

"Sister Ya, Lian'er, it's getting late. You sisters should put out all the food and wine in the food boxes."

"Hey, my sister knows."

Qiya, Qinglian and the other sisters responded in unison and walked towards the table five or six steps away.

Liu Mingzhi gently waved the jade fan with a picture of the vast landscape in his hand and slowly walked towards the city wall.

Qi Yun, the third princess, the little cutie, Song Qing and others saw this and followed silently.

Liu Mingzhi walked to the city wall and stopped. He first turned his head to look at the scenery outside the city, and then looked at the rising sun in the eastern sky.

"The weather is good today. I wonder what the weather is like in Dalong Jinling today?"

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Song Qing and the others listened to Young Master Liu's slightly emotional tone, looked at each other, and a hint of sigh appeared in their eyes.

Qi Yun gently pursed her delicate and charming cherry lips twice, took two steps forward with lotus steps, turned her head with a faint smile and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was standing aside.

"Husband, the weather in Jinling City must be very good."

Liu Mingzhi turned his head to look at the beauty who walked to his side and chuckled happily.

"Haha. Haha. I hope so."

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished his words with a chuckle, Qi Ya's soft voice suddenly rang out from a few steps away.

"Husband, all the wine and food have been laid out."

Hearing Qi Ya's greeting, Young Master Liu let out a long sigh, then immediately turned around and walked towards Qi Ya, Qing Lian and the other sisters.

"Okay, here we come."

"Yun'er, Yan'er, it's over."

"Hey, here we come."

"I'm coming."

Qiya, Qinglian and other sisters looked at their husbands who were coming towards them, and pointed at the delicious food and wine on the table with smiling eyes.

"Husband, all the wine and food are prepared according to your instructions last night." Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded, lowering his eyes to glance at the delicacies on the table.

Then, he raised his right hand and picked up the wine jug on the corner of the table, and poured himself two glasses of wine.

"Yun'er, Yan'er."

"Hey, I'm here, husband?"

"Husband?"

"call."

Liu Mingzhi took a long, deep breath and gently put down the wine jug in his hand.

"I can handle the rest by myself. You sisters don't need to follow me."

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Qinglian, the Queen and the other sisters looked at each other hesitantly for a few seconds, then bowed to Young Master Liu in unison.

"Hey, my sisters know about this."

"Yue'er."

"Hey, the baby is here, daddy?"

"Come to your father."

"Yeah, yeah, it's coming, it's coming."

The little cutie responded in a sweet voice, and immediately took two steps at a time and came to the side of Young Master Liu and stopped.

"Daddy?"

After Liu Mingzhi carefully tidied his clothes, he turned around with a sigh and looked at the rising sun in the eastern sky. He bent his knees and knelt down towards the east.

Immediately, under the gazes of Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Liu Song and the others, he kowtowed hard on the ground.

"Old man, I am an unfilial child. I cannot serve you today and personally celebrate your birthday.

I am thousands of miles away, wishing you happiness like the long flowing water of the East Sea, and a long life like the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains. "

Liu Mingzhi slowly straightened his body and raised his left hand towards the little cutie standing beside him.

"Yue'er, wine glass."

"Hey, okay."

The little cutie hurriedly picked up a glass of wine from the table and gently placed it in his father's hands.

"Daddy, take it."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, holding the wine glass in both hands and raised it towards the rising sun in the east.

"Old man, I'm going to offer you a toast. Let me drink it first."

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished his words, he raised his head slightly and drank the wine in the glass.

"Yue'er, second cup."

"Hey."

The little cutie first took the empty wine glass from Young Master Liu, then picked up the second glass of wine from the table and gently placed it in his father's hand.

"Daddy, this is for you."

"Old man, I will drink this glass of wine for you. Let me drink it first as a sign of respect."

After Major General Liu finished his second glass of wine, he slowly stood up from the ground.

"Yue'er."

"The child is here, Daddy?"

"Little girl, do you want to pay your respects to your grandfather as well?

If you want to worship, then start.

Otherwise, we can have dinner.”

"Oh, Daddy, you're asking this as if it were a joke.

Today is grandpa's 60th birthday, and as his good granddaughter, I must pay my respects to him."

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded, then turned and walked towards the main seat a few steps away.

"Then you start."

The little cutie nodded slightly, picked up the pot and filled two glasses with wine, then knelt down towards the east just like Young Master Liu did just now.

Then she kowtowed heavily.

"Grandpa, I am an unfilial granddaughter and cannot wish you a happy birthday in person.

Your granddaughter would like to wish you always a happy smile and a happy family.

May your life be as long as the sky and your happiness as deep as the sea.

Good grandpa, Yue'er offers you a drink. Let me drink it first as a token of my respect.

Good grandfather, I will serve you this cup of wine, let me drink it first as a token of my respect."

After the little cutie finished two glasses of wine in a row, he stood up and looked at Master Liu who was already sitting on the chair.

"Daddy, Yue'er is fine."

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then raised his hand and waved to Qi Yun, the third princess, Huyan Junyao, Song Qing and the others who were still standing.

"Yun'er, Yan'er, big brother, please stop standing and take a seat."

"Hey, I'll take a seat right here."

"Yeah, yeah, sisters, I know."

"Ok."

Just as Qi Yun and the other beauties were about to take their seats, Young Master Liu suddenly raised his hand and gestured.

"Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, you sisters please go and take a seat at the table next to you.

I, your husband, want to drink with my elder brother, Liu Song, Du Yu and others."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun, Qing Lian, Murong Shan and other sisters immediately stopped preparing to sit down and nodded lightly to Young Master Liu a few times.

"Yes, I know."

Qi Yun looked at the wine jug on the table, then at the wine jar under the table.

Then, she turned to look at Liu Mingzhi who was smiling, and a hint of worry flashed across her watery eyes.

"Husband."

Hearing the voice, Liu Mingzhi immediately looked up at Qi Yun.

"Well, Yun'er, what's wrong?"

Looking at the smile on her husband's face, Qi Yun pursed her red lips a few times, then finally smiled and shook her head gently.

"My dear husband, it's nothing. I'll go and take a seat first."

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."

Qi Yun smiled lightly and nodded twice, then walked towards the table next to her with light lotus steps.

Liu Mingzhi casually rolled up his sleeves, picked up the kettle and poured himself a bowl of wine.

"Liu Song, Du Yu, Ming Feng, come on, all of you come over and sit down, let's drink together."

Hearing his young master's greeting, Liu Song's face instantly showed a hint of hesitation.

The expressions of Du Yu and others also became hesitant.

They are not fools. They can tell at a glance that Young Master Liu is trying to drown his sorrows by asking them to drink.

In this case, how could they dare to agree?

"Master, this, this, this is not appropriate, right?"

Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng and others also quickly spoke up to agree.

"Yes, yes, Marshal, this is inappropriate, this is inappropriate."

"I second the motion."

"What's the matter with appropriate or inappropriate? I told you to come and sit down. Just come and sit down."
