When the Queen saw that Mr. Liu's eyes did not dodge at all, she believed that Dalong could indeed list weapons and armor as being within the scope of trade, and she felt relieved.
Holding back the secret joy in her heart, the Queen sat back down again without changing her expression.
"Master Liu, for the happy cooperation between Jin Guo and Dalong, I would like to drink a toast with you."
The Queen picked up her wine glass and gently gestured to Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu hurriedly picked up his wine glass: "I would like to offer a glass to your Majesty."
The two drank it all in one gulp. The Queen put down the wine glass and looked at the red-faced Young Master Chiliu opposite her. She shook her head softly in astonishment: "Master Liu, as a man, it is not enough for a man to have such a bad drinking capacity. After just two glasses of wine, Liu will be drunk."
Your Excellency has lost his temper. As a diplomat, Your Excellency Liu needs to practice his drinking ability."
Young Master Liu's mouth twitched. Don't you know why this young master is so angry? Is it because this young master has a bad drinking capacity?
Well, my drinking ability is not that good. I like to drink water when drinking with others, but I am not so bad that my face will be stained after just two glasses of light wine, okay?
It turned out that the Queen really didn't know what was going on, otherwise this glass of wine might have been Mr. Liu's last drink.
In other words, it’s hard to say whether I can drink this glass of wine.
The Queen's face turned as red as a monkey's butt when she saw Young Master Liu drink two glasses of light wine, and finally believed that Young Master Liu was not Liu Mingzhi.
The information obtained by the Admiral after investigating Liu Zhi'an's operation, plus the Queen's sight of Young Master Liu's drinking capacity when she was in Jiangnan, were all old spirits shipped from the Liu family's restaurant, and Young Master Liu could drink several jugs of them.
Without appearing drunk, his alcohol capacity is definitely not comparable to that of Liu Shu, who gets pale after just two glasses of light wine.
Although she was a little disappointed, the thorn in the Queen's heart finally fell away.
It can only be said to be a wonderful misunderstanding.
Young Master Liu did not expect that just because of two glasses of light wine, the Queen would put all doubts about her identity behind her. He didn't know whether he should be happy or grateful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I will try my best to improve my drinking ability when I go back."
Seeing Master Liu's reply to her suggestion, the Queen smiled softly and turned her eyes flexibly: "Master Liu, I have a doubt. Can Master Liu shed some light on it for me?"
Young Master Liu was taken aback: "Your Majesty, how can I answer your Majesty's doubts if my minister is not very talented and knowledgeable? If your Majesty is asking about things that your Majesty knows, your Majesty will definitely tell you everything he knows."
The Queen pursed her lips and smiled: "A gentleman's words."
"Hurry up and whip your horse."
The Queen stretched out her white white wrist and raised it slightly, placing her long, straight and flawless palm in front of Young Master Liu: "Master Liu, how about high-fiving me?"
Liu Mingzhi hesitated. What issue deserves this woman to take so seriously? Is she digging a hole for me?
"Your Majesty, I'm just asking a question. Your Majesty is so solemn about your affairs, and the ministers are a little worried. If your Majesty asks the ministers some secret history in the palace, the ministers will naturally not be able to answer."
"I can guarantee that this matter is only related to Mr. Liu and will never ask about other issues. Does Mr. Liu have to regret it?"
When the Queen said this, Young Master Liu's heart became even more agitated. He secretly guessed that this woman was still doubting my identity. If she asked about my true identity, I would be breaking my promise if I didn't tell him. If I told him, it would be like seeking death.
"Can I know what your Majesty is asking about?"
The Queen squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "It has something to do with Mr. Liu's official position, nothing else!"
"really?"
"The words of gold and jade."
Young Master Liu pondered for a moment, then gently stretched out his right hand and clasped it on the Queen's slender fingers, leaving without stopping.
Seeing Young Master Liu's actions, the Queen's eyes showed a hint of brilliance, and her expression of appreciation was slightly revealed. It was obvious that Young Master Liu's immediate move made the Queen quite satisfied.
"Your Majesty, please ask me. Your Majesty must know everything and tell me everything."
"Okay, I feel relieved with Master Liu's words. I would like to ask Master Liu, has he ever been to Dalong as a general prisoner and an official?"
Regarding the Queen's question, Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly guessed the meaning of the Queen's question. Was he turning a prisoner into an official? Why did he ask this question?
Liu Dashao couldn't figure out the key point and shook his head: "The minister did not transfer the supervisor to an official, but was transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs to Honglu Temple, and the official was appointed as the headmaster of Honglu Temple."
The Queen stared at Young Master Liu's expression and thought for a moment: "Seriously?"
"If I have even half a lie and am willing to be struck by five thunders to death, then I have never served as a general as a prisoner or as an official."
The ancients also knew how much Young Master Liu valued their oaths, and the Queen knew even more about it, and there was nothing she could do about it when she saw Young Master Liu swearing like this.
The empress looked puzzled and pointed to the table in front of Mr. Liu: "Master Liu, let's have some food and wine. I made an exception and asked the royal kitchen to prepare the soy beef. Eating beef in Dalong is illegal. Although the Kingdom of Jin does not prohibit it, it is not allowed.
It is extremely rare, Mr. Liu, to try the skills of the imperial chef."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. Your Majesty is really a little hungry. It would be rude of you to do this."
Liu Dashao, who wanted to avoid making mistakes by talking too much, was naturally happy to speak less without talking. He grabbed the beef with sauce on the side, tore it up, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Not to mention, it is quite chewy and chewy.
The queen held the wine glass and stared intently at Mr. Liu who was eating meat. She was a little surprised to see him tearing the strong beef from the bones easily.
These beefs are half-cooked beef that I specially ordered to be cooked by the imperial kitchen. You must know that half-cooked food is the most laborious. This is also the second test to test Mr. Liu.
It would be difficult for Young Master Liu to easily tear off the beef with his sluggish appearance when he was in Jiangnan. However, the Queen had already believed in Young Master Liu's identity because of a glass of wine, so the beef was naturally no longer needed.
But the Queen suddenly thought of a way to test the truth of what Mr. Liu just said. You must know that Honglu Temple is a place for literati, but being a prisoner is different. Without a lot of strength, it is difficult to convince the craftsmen.
Seeing that Young Master Liu had such strength, the Queen couldn't help but doubt again whether what Young Master Liu said was true.
Even though Young Master Liu swore, the Queen was still suspicious.
"Is Mo Dao easy to make?"
Looking at Mr. Liu who was eating meat and drinking wine lightly, the Queen's crisp voice suddenly came to mind.
"Of course it's not good if it's not easy to build."
With a clatter, the bones in Young Master Liu's hand fell on the table. Young Master Liu stuffed his mouth full of beef and looked at the Queen who was staring at him with a faint smile in confusion, feeling a little panicked.
The Queen gently put down the wine glass in her hand and leaned forward again to look at Mr. Liu narrowly: "Master Liu, why don't you continue talking? What's the best? I want to know."
The scene just now appeared again, and Young Master Liu's face turned red again. He hurriedly lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, put it into his mouth, and finally washed down the beef in his mouth.
"If you are not a good drinker, don't drink so much."
Seeing Young Master Liu's face turn red again, the Queen gave a gentle advice.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Why is it difficult to make a Mo Dao?"
"My ministers don't know what your Majesty is talking about?"
The queen, who had no idea that she was exposed, gently pressed the table: "I don't know, why don't you dare to look into my eyes?"
