Chapter 473: Better than the Emperor

It's been a long time since Queen He has eaten a family dinner in the true sense of the word.

The family is together, having a happy and lively meal, laughing and laughing. This was only the case when she was a child.

Why did she only have it when she was a child?

Because when she grew up and became sensible, she found that her home was not so harmonious. Or maybe by the time she became sensible, the two brothers in the family had already grown up. From that time on, the two brothers were like enemies, and they would target each other when they met, and it was difficult to have a happy meal together.

Now in the Marquis Wuyong's mansion, here in Liu Xian, she feels the warmth of this family dinner.

Here, there are not so many rules, everyone is more casual and can chat casually.

And what makes Queen He feel very curious and meaningful is Liu Xian's dining table here.

This is a large round table specially made by Liu Xian for wooden craftsmen. The kind of ten-seater, in the middle of the table, Liu Xian also asked the carpenter to make a turntable, which can be rotated to facilitate the people sitting around the large round table to pick up vegetables.

This table was originally very common in later generations, but now it makes Queen He feel that it is ingenious and curious.

Because Empress He was here, she didn't let too many maids come in to wait.

Empress He and Ma Guiren sat next to Liu Xian on the left and right, and then there were Yi Ji and Huang Wudie.

Zheng Bo and Xiao Tao are also there, and there is another maid named Xiao Yao, who is the person next to Ma Guiren. None of them are outsiders, and they usually eat together.

In fact, at the beginning, Zheng Bo and those maids were still not very used to it, but Liu Xian's strong request was that they would have to eat together at home in the future. Over time, they have adapted to this.

Perhaps it is precisely because they have adapted to sitting at the same table to eat like this, so even if there is more Queen He this time, they will not feel too unnatural. Especially after Liu Xian was eating, he told them some jokes about later generations, which made Queen He laugh from ear to ear, and they didn't look much different from ordinary women, so they let go.

What really made Queen He feel interesting was that when she listened to Liu Xian and others talking about the east and west, and talked about some interesting folk stories, she felt very interesting.

In fact, it's just a meal, and Liu Xian can eat new tricks here, and everyone is happy together.

This kind of atmosphere is really pleasant and relaxing. Queen He also ate a lot more than usual, and she was still a little unsatisfied, but her stomach was already round and bulging, and she couldn't eat it.

Delicious food is one thing, but the key also depends on the mood and mood, and the mood is good.

After eating, everyone took a walk in the back garden and drank tea in the garden pavilion.

When it was time to light the lamp, Liu Xian asked Yi Ji to bring the piano again, let her play the piano, sing and compose music, and let Huang Wudie dance her knife dance.

If he didn't want too many people to know that Queen He was here, Liu Xian could also call Wang Xiu'er and them, they played the piano and danced, and they looked much more professional.

But this is enough, Yi Ji is not bad at playing the piano, especially singing well. Of course, it was Liu Xian who plagiarized some of the music of later generations, and those pop songs are completely different from the music of this era, and they are generally rhythmic and catchy. In particular, the lyrics in the song are completely different from the literary style of this era, but they are more simple and clear, pointing directly to the hearts of the people. As long as you listen to it once, you can basically sing along a few lines.

Queen He was really surprised, the more she listened to it, the more she felt good, these were songs she had never heard before.

"It's really incredible, listen to them, you created all these songs? How did you come up with such a beautiful sound? ”

Empress He sat close to Liu Xian and asked curiously.

"When inspiration comes, it comes naturally. What's so strange about these? And none of this matters, the important thing is that everyone is happy. ”

Liu Xian naturally wouldn't tell her how she created it seriously. said to her: "Queen Mother, I, Liu Xian, am really greedy for comfort." In this life, I feel that I must live freely and happily. If this Han world has always been a peaceful and prosperous era, then I Liu Xian's life is estimated to have passed like this. During the day, I am busy with some business operations, do my work well, and make a little money. When I return home in the evening, I can have a happy meal with my favorite people, and then sit together as a family and chat, listen to music and dance, have some entertainment, and enrich my life...... Haha, I think that's good. ”

"Of course you think it's good, but for you, what does it mean to make a little money? You have made so much money all at once, hundreds of millions, and you will feel very comfortable when you change it to someone else. Also, the food and drink in your palace are the best, comparable to the palace, and even the palace is not as rich as your palace. And then there are so many programs, so beautiful singing music, even the musicians of the palace will not let you play these songs. To be honest, people are now suspicious, it seems that your house is the palace, if you can do it like you, then what is the difference between it and being in the palace? It's not an emperor, but it's better than an emperor. Let alone...... The wife and concubine around you are not shallow. Even the emperor is nothing more than that. ”

Empress He glanced at Liu Xian with a little taste, and her eyes glanced at Yi Ji and Huang Wudie from time to time.

Queen He was hindered by her identity as a queen, and she did not dare to easily reveal her relationship with Liu Xian in front of others. However, after being with Liu Xian, her heart was tied to Liu Xian's body, and as a woman, it was natural to be a little jealous.

"Hehe, Xiaohou is naturally a lot of good fortune, because there is you, the world-famous Queen He, by your side." Liu Xian secretly pinched Queen He and said in a low voice.

"Sister Ying has told others, in addition to Yi Ji, Wudie, Zhang Ning, Kong Xue, Cai Yan, Xiaojing...... One of them is younger and more beautiful than the other, I'm afraid that you will forget about them in a blink of an eye. ”

"How so? Kong Xue, Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Wudie, Xiaojing, they are all my wives, you, eat their flying vinegar indiscriminately. I agreed, so I'll find more opportunities to accompany you. ”

"People also want to be with you more, but no, it's not so casual and convenient for people to come out of the palace. What's the matter, it is definitely not okay to come to your Wuyong Marquis Mansion openly, if it falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, people will suffer. "Queen He is really reluctant to Liu Xian now, and she is thinking about how to have a tryst with Liu Xian often.

"Don't worry, don't forget, Xiaohou can also enter and leave the palace casually. It's just that it's not easy to enter the palace casually, because ...... The emperor's heart to kill me will not die, and he will enter the palace easily, and he will inevitably be poisoned...... Well, so be it, let me think about it, there will always be a way. As long as you can find an excuse to keep you in and out of the palace often, it's easy to do so. ”

Liu Xian comforted Empress He.

"It's hard to find an excuse to go in and out of the palace a lot...... However, after being out of the palace for a while, there is still a way to do it......" Queen He said thoughtfully.

"Oh? As a queen, can you leave the palace for a while? Liu Xian was not aware of these circumstances.

"Nature is possible...... But there must be a defensible excuse. After all, in addition to the palace in the capital, there are also palaces in many places, when the weather is too hot, the emperor can leave the capital and go to some suitable places to avoid the palace, and the concubines in our palace can also accompany them. But the emperor hasn't left the capital for a long time to go to another palace......"

"If you say it, you don't say it, the emperor is all together, so let's ......"

"There it is! There is a palace in the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, and people say that they go to the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum to worship, pray for the blessings of the people of the world, pray for peace in the world, and smooth wind and rain in the coming year. In addition, he said that he wanted to be quiet in the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum and ask the Taoist chief of the temple for some Taoist scriptures...... Stay for a while, fast and meditate, yes, that's it! ”

Empress He had already found an excuse that she thought was feasible at this time, and said with a happy face: "Anyway, the emperor doesn't want to see people now, and he can't wait to leave the palace for a while." ”

"Eh, Queen, the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum you are talking about...... Where is it? In addition, when you arrived at the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, Xiaohou couldn't accompany you, right? After all, there are many things to do in the capital......"

"It's stupid, it's just an excuse for people to leave the palace. The Xishan Imperial Mausoleum is in the west of the capital, and it is only forty or fifty miles away from Beijing. When people get there, take care of everything, and then come back secretly? However, you'll have to pick them up then......"

"Also, your Marquis Wuyong's Mansion is too eye-catching, people can't come here, they have to find another place."

Liu Xian listened, okay, this is thinking about a long-term tryst with himself.

"In this way, let's go to Cuizhu Ruan, which is now the people's food for the heavenly restaurant. Now the main building is still almost unfinished, but some of the original independent courtyards are almost repaired. I'll leave a separate courtyard and you'll live there. After the opening of the sky, there may be many interesting things, when you arrive, you can dress up a little, mainly to make ugly, you are too beautiful, not to be ugly, just as an ordinary person, you can walk around and have fun. ”

"Okay, that's great, to be honest, people have been in the capital for so many years, and they really haven't visited the capital properly."

"There are a lot of fun and interesting things, when the time comes, I will accompany you to have a good tour of the capital. Visiting the capital as an ordinary person is also a completely different experience. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Empress He couldn't help but look forward to it.

Ma Guiren was also accompanied, and when she heard Queen He and Liu Xian muttering in a low voice, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, this pair of "dog men and women" were actually hot.

However, she was not worried that she would fall out of favor with Liu Xian, and also joined in to chat.

After everyone had fun, Ma Guiren deliberately made an excuse to leave with Yi Ji and Huang Wudie. This is an opportunity for Liu Xian and Empress He to make time alone.

Ma Guiren knows that this is a rare trip to the palace for Queen He, and it is usually a little difficult to fall in love with Liu Xian once, but she can do it at any time.

At night, Liu Xian and Queen He were naturally indescribably lingering.

Then, Empress He rested for a while, and it was time to return to the palace in the early morning.

Liu Xian waited for her to change back into the coarse linen clothes, and then messed up her hair a little, looking like an unrefined working woman. Anyway, as long as she doesn't look up, or doesn't let people look at her for too long, no one will generally see that she is the current Queen He.

Liu Xian took Empress He to leave quietly through the back door, and then accompanied Empress He to the place where the small cart where the night incense was placed. It was the residence of the woman who had changed her dress with Queen He. The woman was a middle-aged woman who lived alone. However, she was still in the palace and was not at home, and this was why she told Queen He, so that Queen He could find this place and push the small cart that poured night incense here.

Liu Xian Queen He pushed the stinky night fragrance cart, and Queen He followed behind.

This really responds to Liu Xian's earlier funny words, Queen Yexiang, Little Marquis of Yexiang.

The capital in the early morning is quiet.

Neither Liu Xian nor Empress He spoke.

However, for Queen He, silence seems to be better than sound at this time.

She felt a special happiness in this moment.

She even has a little hope, hoping that she is a folk woman who pours night incense, and Liu Xian is her husband, at this time, her husband accompanies her to pour night incense. In this way, it also seems to be a wonderful thing.

Even, Queen He doesn't feel too stinky now. This time in the palace, and when she came out of the palace, it was a completely different experience, a completely different state of mind.

You know, when she came out pretending to be a folk woman and pushing the night fragrance cart, she didn't know how many times she retched.

She now hopes that Liu Xian can accompany her and go on all this night.

However, it soon reached a side gate of the imperial city.

Liu Xian stopped and said to Queen He: "Queen, when you arrived, did you enter from here?" You have to be careful yourself, I won't be able to show up. ”

"Well, it's from here, it's a side door for people who pour night incense, and some people who do chores in the palace and have to enter and exit the palace at night."

"Oh, I see, that's not going to be delivered." Liu Xian stepped forward, held her hand, hugged her again, and said in her ear, "I will miss you." ”

"I'll miss you too...... Liu Xian...... Brother Xian, when people are alone with you in the future, will they call you Brother Xian, okay? ”

Queen He was a little reluctant, and hugged Liu Xian with her backhand.

Fortunately, in the early hours of the morning, it was a little dark around, and there was no one, and at the head of the imperial city, those guards guarding the city were afraid that they were also dozing. So I'm not afraid of anyone seeing it.

"Yes, when we're alone, I'll call you Sister Queen."

"Hmm...... Brother Xian, people want to hear you call a lady now......"

"Lady." Liu Xian shouted.

"Well, husband, the slave family has gone to work first, you can go home first."

Empress He responded happily, let go of Liu Xian, and walked towards the side gate of the imperial city with a small cart.
