Empress He put her mind on Ma Guiren and Liu Xian, this was not a sudden illness and rushed to the doctor, but her decision after careful consideration.

Speaking of which, although Queen He is the mother of a country, her mother is the world. But in fact, she was in an extremely uneasy precaution, and for her, every day spent in the palace was a kind of torment, and she was spent in anxiety and panic.

What's the solution? After all, she is just a woman, she fell out of favor with the emperor, her position as queen is worrying, and if she is not good, she will be abolished and thrown into the cold palace. If she hadn't given birth to an eldest son for the emperor, she would have lost her current wealth and glory by now. But this is not safe, because in addition to his son, there is another prince Liu Xie. The emperor's mind is to set Liu Xie as the crown prince, in case the emperor has a whim one day, as soon as Chrysostom opens, he will set Liu Xie as the crown prince, then ...... Empress He really didn't dare to imagine that kind of situation.

When that day comes, I'm afraid she's going to lose everything.

And the old father is gone, the eldest brother is unreliable, and the second brother is a mediocre person, who has been suppressed by the eldest brother, has no power and power, and can't give her a little help. As for those powerful ministers in the court, who would really help her, even those attendants in the palace, and those permanent servants who once kept the queen's position for her, all made Queen He feel a little unreliable.

In fact, Queen He is indeed just a woman, and after falling out of favor, she is a little incompatible with He Jin, the general's brother, and the relationship is really not very good. The palace was already controlled by those eunuchs, and even the emperor was subject to them. If a mere woman loses the support of external forces, then what is she in the palace? On the surface, those chamberlains are naturally respectful to her, but secretly, who cares what this queen thinks?

The queen also knows very well that if she wants to keep her current wealth, then she must put her son on the throne of the crown prince. Only when her son becomes a real prince can she sit back and relax.

To put it mildly, she can poison Wang Meiren, then the emperor or those eunuchs in the palace can also let her die unconsciously. Anyway, Queen He felt that she was in danger all the time, and from time to time she would wake up in the middle of the night, that is, she dreamed that someone was going to kill her.

Under such circumstances, Empress He knew that she must obtain some external support.

The external support is nothing more than his eldest brother He Jin, as well as those who are in power. However, there is nothing the queen can do to make those people lean towards herself, in order to help become herself. Because those are already fixed interests, she has no interests that can make those people support her unconditionally.

It was under such circumstances that Queen He thought of Ma Guiren and inquired about some of Liu Xian's deeds. She thinks that perhaps, the younger sister-in-law of the former emperor, and her righteous son, who can do things, may be able to help herself.

Because she felt that Ma Guiren and Liu Xian should also need her, and they needed her, someone in the palace who could speak for them. It's a boost that can be leveraged against each other.

At this time, Queen He got out of the carriage, which really made everyone's eyes shine.

Natural beauty is not a joke, but a stunning person with all kinds of charms.

Empress He entered the palace and became the queen for some years, and she was in a high position, so she naturally developed a demeanor that made people feel dignified and wealthy.

There were so many people present, in fact, they only dared to take a sneak look, and after being shocked by Queen He's beauty, they all knelt on the ground obediently, and didn't dare to peek again.

Such a fairy-like woman is really not something that ordinary people dare to despise.

It was only Liu Xian, who opened his eyes wide and looked at Queen He very seriously.

How to say it, Liu Xian felt that Queen He and Ma Guiren should be regarded as beautiful and dignified women of the royal sister type, of course, this is in terms of their figures, it seems that they are really similar.

But similarity does not mean that it is the same.

As for Ma Guiren, he should be more plump, and he is slightly shorter than Queen He, but this does not affect Ma Guiren's beautiful perception.

And Queen He is taller and more peachy, and her body is also plump and round, but her facial features are more delicate, and she has a sense of arrogance that seems to be from the inside out. Especially her phoenix eyes, which look more majestic and imposing than Ma Guiren.

In fact, if it is for others, Ma Guiren will also give people a sense of loneliness.

In general, Ma Guiren is a royal sister with a long goose egg face and a sweeter peach. And Queen He is a lady with a melon seed face, which invisibly shows a unique noble temperament.

In terms of beauty, it seems that Queen He can indeed overpower the nobles of the horse, and she can almost match the appearance of Diao Chan.

It is no wonder that the emperor's three thousand beauties once favored her alone. Without excellent beauty, I'm afraid it's really hard to charm the emperor.

Empress He was not angry because of Liu Xian's seemingly rude gaze, on the contrary, she felt that Liu Xian's gaze was very bright and sincere. In fact, she just treated Liu Xian as a child.

Ma Guiren's righteous son is only in her teens, and she didn't think about anything else at all.

"Queen Mother, please come into the mansion and take a look, the Marquis Wuyong Mansion is definitely not as magnificent as the palace, but it also has merits. In addition, Xian'er also specially asked people to make some dishes that should not be available in the palace, although they may not be as good as those mountain and sea delicacies in the palace, and they are not as light as the color and fragrance, but they also have their own uniqueness. Please take the queen to move. ”

Ma Guiren stepped forward and invited the queen into the mansion.

Empress He came to congratulate on behalf of the emperor, this person came, the congratulatory gift arrived, and this already expressed her attitude. At this time, if she holds her own identity, she can naturally return to the palace. But her purpose has not been achieved yet, and she will definitely not return to the palace at this time.

"Aunt Wang is polite, since they are all here, I must go into the house to visit. Besides, it is difficult for the queen to leave the palace for a while, Aunt Wang, after you left the palace, you have never entered the palace to visit the queen, and the queen also wants to talk to Aunt Wang. ”

"Then the queen mother, please!"

Entering the house, the people in the house, as well as the guests, naturally also knelt down to greet them.

The queen coped with it easily, and even asked Liu Xian to give her a glass of wine, and drank a glass with the guests present, and then asked Ma Guiren and Liu Xian to take a look in the mansion, and finally came to the main building in the back garden.

Naturally, the queen would not have a banquet in the same hall with those guests outside. Even if she was willing to be together, it was estimated that those guests would be unnatural.

Therefore, Ma Guiren also deliberately asked people to set up a few tables of banquets in the small hall of the main building in the back garden.

I have to talk about the food and drinks.

Now Liu Xian has basically moved out many dishes from later generations. Even if some condiments are not so complete, some substitutes have been found, which does not affect the color and fragrance.

Liu Xian has now opened restaurants in many places, although it is said that this is to establish Liu Xian's intelligence system, but it is indeed very careful to operate, at least, in terms of cuisine, it is already a little ahead. Therefore, the restaurants and inns that have been opened and operated are now making money.

The key is that it is cheap, some dishes are good-looking and delicious, and the price is not high, whether it is an ordinary family or a wealthy person, they can afford it casually.

Don't say anything, an ordinary stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat, etc., these can come up with all kinds of tricks.

Anyway, during this period of the Han Dynasty, there was actually no concept of stir-frying in the real sense, generally speaking, it was boiled. Therefore, this simple change has already shown the difference of Liu Xian's inns and restaurants. If those diners haven't personally watched the stir-fry process in the kitchen, they really don't know how those dishes are made.

Liu Xian deliberately set up a congratulatory banquet in his own mansion and let the back kitchen focus on stir-fried dishes, so that the guests who came to taste it fresh. This can also be regarded as a warm-up for Liu Xianwei's upcoming restaurant in Luoyang.

Therefore, now the house is full of guests, they are very satisfied with the meal, and some people who don't know and don't understand think that the Marquis Wuyong's mansion invited the imperial chef in the palace to help make the banquet.

At this time, the queen was not in a hurry to say anything else to Ma Guiren, she was indeed attracted by the various small stir-fries on the banquet table in front of her.

"Huh? What are these dishes? Green? And this is tofu? What is it called? It seems to be all burnt. Is this pork? Huang Chengcheng's ...... Is this a chicken? Why wrap it in mud? Can you eat it? This fish ......"

In ancient times, pork could not be put on the table, and Empress He was very curious, and each seemed to be a little different from the palace meal. No, before Empress He entered the palace, she was also an ordinary person, and in her impression, there was no dish with such a practice.

In addition, Queen He was born in a butcher's family, and her family had sold pork before, so she naturally had eaten a lot, but she had never eaten or even seen the pork in front of her. Generally speaking, it is basically boiled or marinated or stewed.

"Hehe, these are all made up by Xian'er. Let's let Xian'er tell the queen about these dishes. Seeing the queen's curious look, Ma Guiren felt a little proud in his heart for no reason.

In fact, Ma Guiren has basically given up the dishes of the previous methods now, and they are all eating the dishes of the new methods that Liu Xian made people. For this reason, Ma Guiren found that she was a little fat, and when she was with Liu Xian, she inevitably blamed Liu Xian for making her fat. This, in fact, Liu Xian didn't feel it, because even if she was fat, it seemed that only the fat on her chest was there, and elsewhere, it was still so slender that it seemed that no matter how she ate, it was impossible to produce that kind of thing called belly. Liu Xian is sometimes quite envious, because some people are born with no fat.

"Brother Liu Xian, then tell the queen, how did you get these dishes? Seeing that you are really not old, how did you come up with it? Queen He blinked her phoenix eyes and asked Liu Xian with a look of curiosity.

"Queen Mother, please say while tasting."

Liu Xian left his banquet table and walked to the banquet table in front of the emperor, first sandwiched a piece of fried meat for the queen, and said: "Queen Mother, in fact, there is no secret, if you really want to say, it is just one word, fry." On this table, most of the dishes are fried, like this green vegetable and these fried meat. ”

……

Liu Xian's movements are very natural, every time he says the same, he clips some for the queen and talks about how it is made.

In this ancient era, Liu Xian's actions were extremely inappropriate, because Liu Xian's actions seemed too close. However, I don't know why, it's so natural, even the nobles and the queen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this at this time.

"Each dish has a different way to make it, and with different seasonings, the taste is completely different. Have you ever heard of the Queen? The people take food as the sky, and food is the first thing. In any case, under the premise of food, clothing and health, we should try our best to make our food appear more colorful, flavorful, and beautiful, which is also a kind of eating. These dishes are actually very common dishes, and they are also dishes in some of my restaurants and inns. These dishes are so simple that even ordinary people can make and eat them themselves. When appropriate, I will openly promote the practice of these dishes, so that the common people of the Han Dynasty can eat such dishes casually. ”

"Hey, no, listening to Brother Liu Xian, you said how to make these dishes, I can't help but have a big appetite, I have eaten too much, I haven't been so appetizing for a long time." Queen He listened to Liu Xian's words with relish, and unconsciously really ate too much, and felt that she couldn't eat anymore, so she put down her chopsticks and touched her belly without suspicion.

"Then don't eat it yet, have a glass of juice, and eat first."

Liu Xian hurriedly ran to get two or three glasses of juice in person, one per person.

"Juice? What is it? ”

"The apple juice that has been squeezed, drink it first to see if it is good."

Queen He took a small sip, and after drinking it, her phoenix eyes lit up, and she immediately liked this sweet and sour refreshing feeling.

In fact, Liu Xian hadn't made the glass out yet, so he didn't bother to get too much, otherwise, he could get some ice and straws to come out, so that it would be comfortable to drink.

Empress He really felt very satisfied at this time, and felt that it was really the right time to come to the Marquis Wuyong Mansion. At least, at this time, all the troubles in her heart seemed to be gone all at once.

And what she said is also true, in the palace, she really can't eat and sleep well, and she is irritable every day.

This Liu Xian actually made so many new things, Queen He thought it was really interesting.

She couldn't help but look at Ma Guiren, and said faintly: "Aunt Wang, you really accepted a good son." If my Wang Er also has the ability of Liu Xian's younger brother, I don't have to worry so much in the future. ”

The queen laughed. Queen Mother, you are the mother of a country, how can you have troubles? Ma Guiren was naturally proud in his heart, Liu Xian was not only her righteous son and nephew, but also her little man.
