The July sun in Chang'an was like a fire, and the wide galloping roads in the city emitted a rolling heat wave, and several ministers who were a little older were unfortunately suffering from heat stroke, and even the trees in the Weiyang Palace looked a little wilted.

A few days ago, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who was really hot and unbearable, finished handling the main government affairs, and left the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with peace of mind, took the concubines in the palace, and went to Lishan Ganquan Palace to escape the summer.

On the edge of the pond, many large banyan trees are transplanted. In the shade of a tree, a young boy is lying on a bamboo rocking chair, half-squinting and sleeping.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in the little boy's hand shook. I saw that he didn't get up, but his wrist was slightly forced, and a big fish two feet long and a palm wide jumped out of the water, and the silver scales shone in the noon sun. The little boy shook the rod hard, and the big fish was thrown to the side of the chaise longue. The little eunuch, who had been standing quietly, hurriedly stepped forward, unloaded the fish from the hook, and put it into the wooden barrel beside him. The little boy opened his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Li Fu, how many tails are there?" ”

"Lord Wang, there are already ten tails." The little eunuch Li Fu counted happily and smacked his lips.

The little boy quipped, "Gluttonous again? I rewarded you a lot yesterday, didn't you say a few days ago that you never eat fish? ”

"The fish that the ministers used to eat were all fishy and unbearable, but the fish soup that the prince appreciated was delicious, and the fish meat was smooth and tender, which was really a rare delicacy in the world, and I couldn't eat enough." Li Fu explained with a red face.

"Alright, alright, get someone to carry the things back. This king will make a few more specialty dishes today and give them to the imperial grandmother to taste, and you will also send one to your grandmother and aunt when the time comes, and the rest will be rewarded to you. The little boy stood up and walked to a side hall in the distance.

"Hello, look at you sweating profusely, where did you go crazy again? Roll over to the mourners! As soon as the little boy entered the side hall, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Empress Dowager Dou. (Anyway, the official history does not say that Empress Dowager Dou has an eye disease, since the plot requires it, let's think she can see it.) ）

Liu Yu scratched his little head, walked over step by step, and said with a hippie smile: "Hehe, why didn't the imperial grandmother have a lunch night?" ”

"The mourning family can't sleep! I dreamed that a thief stole the silk of the mourning family, which was a tribute from the Western Regions, and if he caught the thief, he would definitely hand him over to the emperor and deal with him strictly. Empress Dowager Dou looked at Liu Yu with ill intentions and said quietly.

Liu Yu had a surprised expression: "Is this worth it?!" Wait for the grandson to go and capture the thief as the emperor's grandmother. ”

As he spoke, he was going to run out of the door, if he didn't run, he couldn't do it, he had to quickly find the evidence of Li Fu's destruction.

"Get out of here!" Empress Dowager Dou laughed angrily, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, your fishing gear is not ordinary." The fishing rod of rosewood, the silk of the sky is used for the fishing line, and even the fishing hook is made of gold. ”

Liu Yu sat on the ground with his head down, and rolled from the door to the feet of the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Dou was startled and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Didn't the Imperial Grandmother tell me to roll over?" Liu Yu opened his mouth and smirked, stood up, and leaned his dirty body on the Queen Mother.

"You ......" Empress Dowager Dou pointed to Liu Yu, who was covered in dust, and kept retreating, lest he lean up, "Okay, good grandson, the mourning family will not punish you, go and wash." ”

"That can't be told to my father and mother!" Liu Yu held his little black hand and bargained.

"Good!" Empress Dowager Dou gritted her teeth and agreed, for her who has a habit of cleanliness, as long as she is not touched by Liu Yu's dirty hands, it doesn't matter if she loses her power and humiliates the country.

"Thank you, Grandmother! The grandson went to ask the imperial chef to cook a few good dishes for the imperial grandmother, and he caught a lot of fish today. Liu Yu took it when he saw it, and ran to the apse like a smoke.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at Liu Yu's turbulent back and shook her head with a smile. I don't know why, so many grandchildren and granddaughters, this lazy little scoundrel is the most pleasing to themselves. Compared with other princes who behave like little old men, the naughty little Liu Yu can always get along with him without scruples, relaxed, and from his usual actions, he can always feel his filial piety and admiration for himself. Teasing grandchildren is the happiest thing for every old man, even if she is the queen mother, she is not exempt from vulgarity.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived at Ganquan Palace, Empress Dowager Dou sent someone to pick Liu Yu over. Emperor Jing is also happy to see it, not to mention that he can make his mother happier, but without Liu Yu, he has a little less scruples when he and Wang Meiren are intimate. The best of both worlds, there's no reason not to raise your hands and feet in favor.

As for Xiao Liu Yu, he also had a very happy time with the Empress Dowager Dou. Although his biological age is in his thirties, his parents died when he was a child in his previous life, and his grandmother, who died early, has never even met him. Since childhood, I have followed my strict grandfather, and every day is either studying or training, and I have almost no childhood, and I have not experienced much family warmth. Now that God has opened his eyes and given himself a chance to experience it again, how can he not grasp this rare family affection?

On the west floor of the moon, exquisite dishes are placed on the round table, and you can smell the overflowing aroma from a distance.

Princess Guantao walked into the side hall and saw the large round table in the middle, and several chairs around the table. Xiang Empress Dowager Dou, who slowly walked in holding Liu Yu's little hand, asked suspiciously: "Queen Mother, what are these things?" It's peculiar. ”

Empress Dowager Dou touched Liu Yu's little head dotingly, and replied a little proudly: "A few days ago, Yu'er saw that I had a leg disease, and it was inconvenient to sit for a long time (the Han Dynasty's sitting was dangerous, that is, kneeling on the mat), so I found a few craftsmen and made this thing called a chair, which is practical. ”

Princess Guantao smiled: "It's hard to be filial piety." ”

"Oh? What good did Biao'er do? A loud and hearty voice came from outside the door, and I saw Emperor Han Jing striding in, looking in a good mood.

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

Princess Guantao and Liu Yu hurriedly saluted, and Emperor Jing waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite.

After a while, several people sat around the round table under Liu Yu's arrangement. Empress Dowager Dou, who was the first to take a seat, looked at Emperor Jing and Princess Guantao, who were a little at a loss, with a smile, and she was in a good mood. There is no way, when an elderly person encounters something new or good from his grandson, he always has to find someone to show off, otherwise there will be a taste of brocade night walking.

Emperor Jing sat on the chair, he was still very unaccustomed to it at first, and the queen mother couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she looked at the smile like a bun in her eyes. grabbed Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, and slapped him on the buttocks, "Stinky boy, make these strange things again!" You can't afford to be on an equal footing with me! ”

I have to say that Emperor Jing's origin is still suitable. In the Han Dynasty, there was no dining table, everyone was in front of a food table, and the emperor's food table was naturally high, and there was no reason to eat with others. Fortunately, the status of Confucianism at this time was not high, otherwise today's things would be disrespectful in the eyes of Confucianism, and in later dynasties, it would be light to kill the head.

Emperor Jing's dozen, but he stabbed the hornet's nest.

Empress Dowager Dou's face changed suddenly, her eyebrows were tightly locked, she was angry, and she snorted coldly: "The emperor is so majestic!" ”

After speaking, he reached out and snatched Liu Yu over, rubbing his fleshy little ass distressedly.

"This ......" Emperor Han Jingdi's head was full of black lines, and he looked helplessly at his mother with an angry face, at a loss.

"Ahem...... Queen Mother, the emperor cares about Biao'er, and now Biao'er has also been crowned the prince, usually acting carelessly, being caught by those imperial historians, impeaching a few words, it's not good. Princess Guantao hurriedly excused her emperor brother.

"What the imperial sister said is that the objects here are a little overdone, and I am also afraid that the imperial historians will be dissatisfied!" Emperor Jing hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"They dare!" Empress Dowager Dou said disdainfully, "This is a good grandson's filial piety to the mourning family, whoever dares to impeach Biao'er is dissatisfied with the mourning family, and the mourning family will see who has so much courage!" ”

The old lady took care of the calf, and even Jing Yanjing didn't dare to say anything, but stared at Xiao Liu Yu with a hippie smile angrily.

"Emperor, do you know why the mourning family is holding this banquet today?" Empress Dowager Dou sighed and said: "When Yu'er made this round table, she once said to the mourning family, the round table means family reunion. The proudest thing in the mourning family's life is to give birth to your three children. Now Wu'er is far away from the Liang Kingdom, and the mourning family has only the emperor and the pavilion Tao, and now the moon is full, why can't the family enjoy the moon with wine? ”

"Mother's lesson is that now there is only a mother and a sister, and there is no identity of Raushzi."

Emperor Jing saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were red, and knew that she was sad in her heart, so he couldn't help but comfort her. Empress Dowager Dou was born in poverty, and in order to put Emperor Jing on the throne, she spent most of her life compromising and seeking perfection, and she didn't know how much she had paid. Emperor Jing is very respectful and filial to her, just seeing that the Queen Mother mentioned several times to establish King Liang as the prince, Jing Yanjing couldn't bear to refuse in person, so she could only use some small means behind her back. Even later, King Liang committed a heinous crime, and Emperor Jing was afraid that the Queen Mother would be sad, so he didn't kill him, and he didn't even abolish the fief. It can be said that Emperor Jing can be ruthless to everyone, but only to his own wife, who is really a well-known filial son in Chinese history.

For a while, the wind was calm, and the three generations of grandparents sat down to enjoy the delicious food.

The calm old lady had a good appetite, and while listening to Xiao Liu Yu introduce the dishes on the table, she tasted it carefully.

"Imperial grandmother, try this sweet and sour fish, the imperial chef is so stupid, and it took a long time for the grandson to teach them to make it."

Liu Yu picked up a piece of fish meat, carefully plucked off the tiny fish bones, and put them in the Queen Mother's bowl.

The old lady's eyes were red, and she picked it up and chewed it carefully for a long time before swallowing it. Looking at the bowl again, it was already full, and it was piled up into a sharp mountain. She rubbed Liu Yan's little head lovingly, and her tone was a little choked: "Yu'er also eats, the imperial grandmother knows that you love to eat chicken wings the most, and the imperial grandmother will clip it for you." ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Dou looked at the dishes on the table and found that there was no one left on a plate of braised chicken wings, and Emperor Jing and Princess Guantao were constantly chewing. No way, they found that the dishes tonight were so delicious. Two thousand years later, the cooking skills of the Han Dynasty were able to shame the imperial chef to death. The imperial kitchen of the Han Dynasty, the meat can only be roasted, and the vegetables can only be boiled.

Empress Dowager Dou searched around, and finally saw a chicken wing that was still surviving in Emperor Jing's bowl. I don't have one like this, and I still chew one in my mouth. Obviously afraid of being snatched away by his sister, he didn't wait for the mouth to finish eating, so he put the last one in his bowl first. The emperor is really domineering!

Empress Dowager Dou was even more domineering, picked up the ivory chopsticks in her hand, and took out the chicken wings from Emperor Jing's bowl and put them in Xiao Liu Yu's bowl. Completely ignoring the resentful eyes of the emperor's son, he picked up the bowl and put the chicken wings in his good grandson's mouth.

"Queen Mother, why don't you eat?" Princess Guantao stopped, smashed her eyes and asked.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the empty plates in front of her daughter, knowing that she was embarrassed to reach out to the round table to clip the dishes in the distance, she glanced at her angrily, and scolded with a smile: "You conscienceless foodie, only now do you think of being a mother?" ”

With that, she reached out and pressed a small protrusion on the table, turning the disc on the table. In the surprised eyes of Emperor Jing and Princess Guantao, several plates of dishes were transferred to the princess. Emperor Jing looked at his sister who continued to eat in a daze, looked at the empty plate in front of him depressedly, and looked at the old lady with a smug face.

"Father, you eat this." Xiao Liu Yu stood up on the chair, laboriously picked up a braised lion's head in the distance, and put it in Emperor Jing's bowl.

"Hey, Father, eat." Emperor Jing was stunned for a while, picked up the lion's head, put it whole in his big mouth, and chewed it hard.

Princess Guantao raised her head slightly, glanced thoughtfully at the emperor who was in a somewhat abnormal mood, and her nose was slightly sour. Born in the imperial family, she knows how extravagant family affection is. Emperor Jing's emotion was only for a moment, and when he walked out of here tonight, he would turn back into the cold-blooded emperor who used the people of the world as pawns.
