Villain: In the beginning, the heroine's spiritual pupil is cut out with a knife

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are so elegant!"

Just as Shen Yuan was inspired and chanting slowly, Pei Jianghai also arrived with his master's attendants.

A warm smile immediately appeared on Shen Yuan's handsome face. Even though it was the coldest month of the twelfth lunar month, it still felt like a spring breeze.

"It turns out that Mr. Pei is here. Today is Mr. Pei's birthday banquet. I once again wish Mr. Pei a long life and great blessings."

Pei Jianghai smiled softly.

"In front of the Prime Minister, Mr. Pei would not dare to call himself a senior easily."

Immediately, Pei Jianghai looked at the table and noticed Qiu Bai.

"I didn't expect that Pei's birthday would not only attract the Prime Minister to come personally, but also have Prince Ming show his favor. Pei is really flattered."

When Qianrou saw Pei Jianghai arriving, she immediately waved her pink fist.

"Commander Pei, you are here. Come, come to the banquet!"

Qianrou couldn't wait for a long time. The table was full of delicacies, and she didn't know how much she had eaten before.

It's normal for children to be greedy.

Pei Jianghai frowned slightly, as if he remembered the situation when Empress Yaochi wanted to deal with Shen Yuan.

But looking at Qianrou's eagerness to eat, she thought that Shen Yuan could not poison the food like Empress Yaochi.

Pei Jianghai took his seat and immediately clapped his hands, and the master behind him quickly stepped forward to offer gifts.

"Since His Majesty is willing to host a banquet for me, I should also show some gratitude in return. As the saying goes, etiquette is light but affection is too heavy. I hope your Majesty will accept this small gift."

Qianrou took the gift, which was an exquisite sandalwood box. She couldn't wait to open it, and inside was a top-quality demon pill!

The crimson demon pill was still faintly glowing.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle of demon slaying that year. I killed the demon pill in the body of a demon clan strongman who was half-step to the level of Yazun. In the future, it will be of great benefit to your majesty's cultivation."

Qianrou has a bitter look on her face.

"Practice? But I don't really want to practice..."

Cultivation is not only boring and boring, but also the process is extremely difficult. It's okay if someone restrains you, but you can force people to practice.

But Qianrou is now the empress, and she is obviously the supreme leader of Northern Qi. If she doesn't want to practice, those who serve as ministers can only advise but cannot force her.

And for a five-year-old child, how can training be as interesting as fighting spirit beasts?

The corner of Pei Jianghai's mouth twitched, I couldn't bear to use this demon pill myself and leave it to you, but you still dislike it?

But he naturally did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Northern Qi Immortal Dynasty by Empress Liuli, the royal families of all generations have needed to practice. The founding Empress Liuli had an extraordinary level of cultivation. She was only one step away from ascending to the throne. The two former emperors Huandie and Meng Ji both surpassed the Holy Spirit. If they are too far away, the two former emperors Luo Yan and Yao Chi will also be in the supreme realm."

"Your Majesty, even if it is for the Northern Qi Immortal Dynasty, you should practice as soon as possible."

Xiao Qianrou pursed her lips, looking for help at the Prime Minister who doted on her the most.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do I have to practice cultivation?"

"Your Majesty." Shen Yuan slowly came to her side and gently held her hand, "Wei Chen still said the same thing. In Northern Qi, Your Majesty is the supreme being. No one can ask you to do anything. .”

"If Your Majesty wants to practice, then practice. If Your Majesty doesn't want to practice, no one can force Him to practice."

"If there are any rebellious ministers and traitors who try to desecrate His Majesty's throne, as the Prime Minister, I will be the first to refuse."

Hearing this, Qianrou immediately smiled and looked at Pei Jianghai proudly.

"Commander Pei, the Prime Minister said, I can practice if I want to, but if I don't want to, I can't!"

At this time, Qiu Bai also stood up to smooth things over.

"There is no need to say this. Since today is Commander Pei's birthday, it is better to celebrate his birthday."

"Not bad, not bad!" Qianrou sat down, "In that case, let's start eating. Start eating quickly!"

Before Pei Jianghai even moved his chopsticks, Qianrou had already begun to feast.

Seeing this, Pei Jianghai felt a little helpless and immediately began to enjoy the delicious food.

As he tasted it, he looked at Shen Yuan with vigilant eyes.

Of course, Shen Yuan would ask him to come here just to treat him to a delicious meal. Pei Jianghai also knew this tacitly.

But Shen Yuan could bear his temper, and until now, he still looked calm and relaxed, as if he had nothing important to talk about at all.

He just kept pampering and filling Qianrou's bowl with all kinds of delicacies.

"Father, don't just give it to me, you can eat it too."

Qianrou quickly picked up a big chicken drumstick for her caring father-in-law.

"Before, you were seriously injured by Gu Yun, and I was worried to death. Fortunately, I had people find the demon bones, and I was able to cure you, Xiangfu, hehe!"

"Of course." Shen Yuan responded, "Your Majesty is kind to me to save my life."

Qiu Bai coughed slightly.

"Cough cough."

Hearing Qiu Bai's cough, Shen Yuan immediately changed the subject.

"Master Pei, eat. These delicacies are His Majesty's wish. Why do you only eat so much?"

"Your Majesty Qianrou is young and naive, so it's understandable that she can't keep her mouth shut. However, the truth has already anticipated this situation, so there is still a tough dish that has not been served."

"Not even His Majesty knows the true nature of this dish, specially prepared for you, Mr. Pei."

Immediately, Shen Yuan clapped his hands, and two palace ladies immediately brought up a huge pottery stove and presented it in front of Pei Jianghai.

The palace maid respectfully opened the lid of the pottery stove, and the fragrant aroma instantly filled the air.

"Father!" Qianrou was a little annoyed, "You actually prepared a dish in secret without telling me."

"Your Majesty." Shen Yuan said in a doting tone, "You have eaten so much. Today is Mr. Pei's birthday, so I have to prepare some special gifts for him."

Hearing this, Qianrou continued to chew the chicken drumstick angrily.

Shen Yuan made a gesture of invitation to Pei Jianghai.

"Master Pei, please use it."

In the pottery stove, the aroma of meat overflowed. Pei Jianghai scooped out a small bowl with a porcelain spoon and slowly put it into his mouth to taste.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Bai immediately turned his head, as if he had thought of something, and quickly drank a glass of wine.

"How does it taste? Master Pei."

"The meat is soft and rotten, melts in your mouth, and the aroma is overflowing. It is indeed a rare delicacy in the world. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is really thoughtful."

The smile on Shen Yuan's lips became even wider.

"As long as Mr. Pei likes it."

The more Pei Jianghai ate, the more delicious it became. He immediately paired it with fine wine and took a sip with great satisfaction.

"Prince Qiu, you should try it too."

Qiu Bai shook his head repeatedly.

"Since the Prime Minister prepared it for you, I won't eat it. Lord Pei can just enjoy it."

Pei Jianghai didn't force himself when he saw this. He raised his glass to face Shen Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I offer you a toast."

Shen Yuan shook his head.

"The truth is that I never drink. Alcohol is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is like a steel knife for scraping bones. A knife on the head of the word sex will inevitably lead to death under a pomegranate skirt. I don't drink at all, and I never touch women."

Hearing this, Pei Jianghai smiled in disbelief.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is really abstinent. He is truly a model for all officials."

"Master Pei has given you too much praise. Can this delicacy, which I don't know its true identity, satisfy Master Pei?"

"Very good. May I ask, Prime Minister, what kind of meat is stewed to make it so delicious?"

A hint of joking flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, and he said with a sinister smile.

"This dish is stewed with Mr. Pei's meat. Since Mr. Pei likes it, why not give this dish a name?"

"Dare I ask Mr. Pei, is your son delicious?"
