Chapter 198: I Call You Sister Chengjun, Do You Dare to Agree!? (Ask for subscription)
Liu He didn't sigh for too long, and immediately saw a pair of eyes full of viciousness and desire by Huo Chengjun's side.
The person who can have this kind of vision is naturally his future mother-in-law - Huo Xian.
Although his appearance is beautiful, some strength between his eyebrows and eyes always makes Liu He feel uncomfortable.
Today's Huo Xian is also full of makeup, and even the Empress Dowager is still prosperous.
In addition to not exceeding the system in terms of shape, the degree of luxury and delicacy in the material is definitely not lost to the Empress Dowager Shangguan.
There is a kind of arrogance everywhere, as if she is the woman with a higher status.
At this time, Huo Xian's face was full of flattering and flattering smiles, but his eyes revealed viciousness and shrewdness.
This made Liu He even more disgusted.
As for Huo Guang and Huo Yu, who were sitting on the other side, they did not put too much pressure on Liu He.
After the ceremony, the atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward.
Liu He didn't know what to say, let alone how to grasp the scale of the conversation.
And the embarrassment at the banquet is not only because of the atmosphere, but also because of the relationship between everyone.
From the perspective of the Huo family, Huo Guang and Huo Xian are fathers; Huo Yu and Huo Chengjun are children; And the Empress Dowager Shangguan is a grandchild.
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with that.
But with Liu He's heir to Emperor Xiaozhao and Huo Chengjun as the empress, this problem came.
Liu He became the son of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, so he also became Huo Chengjun's grandson.
Therefore, when Liu He and Huo Chengjun get married, they are grandparents and grandchildren.
Although there is no blood relationship, it is still inappropriate to insist on discussing it.
This will naturally make Liu He feel a little more embarrassed.
However, there is finally the "queen mother" of the Empress Dowager Shangguan present, after all, she has seen a lot of such scenes, and she can deal with people she doesn't like.
The few people talked about some trivial things in life, although there was no half of the true feelings, but it was not rude.
Liu He couldn't help but sigh, fortunately there was the Empress Dowager Shangguan in front of him, otherwise this banquet would really not be able to cope with it.
The palace people brought up the meals that were eaten separately, and Liu He saw that the eyes of the four members of the Huo family lit up.
The chefs who handle these meals today are the ones who came with Liu He Changyi, so the dishes they cook are naturally new dishes.
Dishes cooked in an iron pot are superior to stews in terms of aroma and color, and they are addictive.
So the slightly awkward greetings in the hall finally stopped, and turned to these unusual dishes.
Even Huo Yu, who has always had a black face, has a trace of curiosity.
"Father Zhong, this is a new dish made by the chef I brought from Changyi Kingdom, the method is different from ordinary dishes, it has a lot of flavor, Father Zhong can give it a try."
Liu He said the first sentence of the day and took over the initiative of the topic.
"The old man told His Majesty before that you should put your mind on studying the government and don't indulge in these trivial things."
When the Empress Dowager Shangguan heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she was laughing at Huo Guang's hypocrisy.
Liu He didn't care, he smiled a little playfully, and said half-jokingly: "Then I also said that the court has a middle father to watch, I don't need to worry too much, not to mention, today is a family banquet, the middle father will not talk about political affairs." ”
"Come, Father Zhong, try these new dishes, and leave the affairs of the court to tomorrow's small court."
"Yes, husband, today is a family banquet, why be so serious, don't ruin Your Majesty's pleasure?" Huo Xian hurriedly said with a smile on his face, still giving Huo Guang a look.
After pretending for a while, Huo Guang finally nodded, picked up the food and ate it.
Huo Guang chewed and tasted it slightly, and finally nodded and said, "Well, the taste is acceptable, Your Majesty has a heart." ”
"The dish that the middle father eats is called sweet and sour tenderloin, which is sweet and sour, the most appetizing, and suitable for summer......"
Liu He said with dancing hands, and introduced the dishes on several people's cases one by one.
"Because the heat is the worst these days, I am afraid that everyone's appetite will be poor, so I specially prepared these dishes." Liu He said proudly like a child.
Speaking of this, Liu He looked at Huo Chengjun, who had been silent, and finally spoke after some psychological construction.
"Sister Chengjun, the plate of fruits and vegetables in front of you was specially chilled by my order, and it was drenched with coconut water and honey from the south, which is refreshing and delicious, I think you will like it."
Liu He's "Sister Chengjun" came too suddenly, which surprised everyone else present.
The title of "Sister Chengjun" of the Son of Heaven is too explicit for Meng Lang?
After all, he and Huo Chengjun have not finally got married.
……
This family banquet was proposed by Huo Xian with Huo Guang, one of the purposes was to let the Son of Heaven have contact with Huo Chengjun.
However, although the edict of canonizing the queen was issued, after all, she had not yet married, and she was sent directly to Weiyang Palace, and there was always some unjustifiable meaning.
That's why we have to use the family feast to draw the strings from it.
If before this, Huo Guang and Huo Xian still had some suspicions about the attitude of the Son of Heaven after the seal, but at this moment, it completely disappeared in this "Sister Chengjun".
And the most shocking thing was Huo Chengjun, after entering the main hall, she always followed her mother's side without saying a word, and never raised her head.
not only has some awe for the Son of Heaven, but also has a girlish shyness.
She never imagined that the Son of Heaven would speak to herself so intimately in full view of everyone.
Immediately, a flush flew over his face.
However, Huo Xian looked anxious, and said to Huo Chengjun with some dissatisfaction: "Chengjun, Your Majesty is talking to you, why don't you reply, it's too rude." ”
Under Huo Xian's urging, Huo Chengjun said a little shyly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." ”
"Then take a quick bite and see if you like it."
Huo Chengjun carefully used a wooden spoon to hold a small piece of papaya on a plate and put it in his mouth, which was cold and sweet, which was pleasant.
"How does it taste?" Liu He asked expectantly.
"Well, that's good."
"Then when I leave the palace today, I will let these chefs go to the General's Mansion and give this sweet dish to the chefs in the General's Mansion, so that you can eat it every day." Liu He clapped his hands and said proudly.
Liu He's initiative made Huo Chengjun's face red all the way to the root of his ears, and he felt that his body was hot, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the small bowl of fruit in front of him to distract himself.
On the other hand, Huo Xian was even more excited than Huo Chengjun, and the desire for power in his eyes was exposed.
Liu He, who let go, found the secret of entertaining the Huo family in this way.
The skills buried in the depths of memory in the face of entertainment and acting on the scene were all taken out at once.
"The Western Regions paid tribute to a batch of high-quality Hetian jade, and I first asked the craftsman to make jade pendants, and then I will pick the best ones to send to Chengjun's sister and mother-in-law."
"My brother is the general of Yulin, I don't know what you like, the Western Regions sent a few good horses, I asked Shaofu to send them to you."
"In addition, I also heard that the middle father likes to drink the most, I also know a little about winemaking, I have found a secret method before, these days when the middle father is busy outside, I let the Shaofu wine shop try some, the color is bright, the wine is quite strong, a glass can get drunk, I will let the middle father send ten Hu to the past."
