Joy princess, it's the end of the year. Liu Che's first child was named Liu Xi. Under pressure, Liu Che named Liu Xi as the eldest princess and Tang Muyi as Yanyi, which is the richest sub-seal of the Han Dynasty. No one in the world does not eat salt, as long as he eats salt, Liu Xi, who can only cry, can draw his own profits from it. Su Ren made a calculation, and when Liu Xi was one year old, she would be the absolute richest woman in the Han Dynasty.

Holding his own child with his own hands, he was a little rusty, and after three or two times, the child was already crying and almost out of breath. The Queen Mother was slightly angry and snatched the child from Liu Che's arms: "Look at you, no matter how much you like it, you have to wait for a hundred days, are you still doing things all day long?" You are the emperor, the emperor of the world! ”

Liu Che smiled: "What the queen mother said is that the sons and daughters remember!" ”

In a blink of an eye, he ran over again, lying on the edge of the couch and teasing: "Call Father, call Father!" ”

The Empress Dowager was really speechless, and Bang Bangbang, who was knocked on crutches, immediately ordered the nurse to hold the child down: "Okay, okay, so many people are waiting for you, you only care about your child!" ”

Today is the royal family feast, and all the people who are related to the royal family have been invited. Because Su Ren saved the lives of Wei Zifu's mother and daughter, he was also invited. When he came to the banquet hall, Su Ren found that there were really a lot of royal people. The banquet hall with a radius of dozens of zhang was packed. Su Ren and Wei Qing had the lowest status, and their seats were about to go out, when the cold wind blew in, and their backs were chilled for a while.

The Empress Dowager first raised her glass: "Today's family banquet, no matter what the surname is, is inextricably linked to our Liu family. ”

"Obey the decree of the Empress Dowager!" Everyone fell to their knees and hurriedly kowtowed and drank.

Fortunately, Su Ren was next to Wei Qing, otherwise this kind of boring banquet would torture people to death. Glancing at Wei Qing, Su Ren said in a low voice, "Are you well?" ”

Wei Qing nodded. Su Ren smiled: "If you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing, now that Mrs. Wei has given birth to a princess, your uncle has the trust of His Majesty, if he is Mrs. Wei to give birth to a prince one day, I will have to be with you." ”

Wei Qing smiled: "Brother Su said this, Brother Su's talent is ten times better than Wei Qing, as long as the eldest brother likes it, he can make contributions at any time, and the marquis is just around the corner!" ”

"Wow! So slippery? I didn't learn anything else when I came to Chang'an, but I was good at it. ”

Wei Qing scratched his head: "Little brother doesn't know what words to use to thank Brother Su, if it weren't for you, ......"

"Stop! Let's talk about that, and we'll see the outside! If this happens to me, if my brother knows, he will definitely do the same as me, I just send someone, I believe that the brother will take the risk himself, if you hadn't blocked an arrow for me last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have drunk with you here. ”

The banquet was really boring, no matter who had dinner with the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Emperor, they would be uncomfortable, not to mention that they were still crowded in this large group of imperial relatives. Faintly, Su Ren discovered the clue, Dou Ying, as the nephew of the Empress Dowager and an old minister of the two dynasties, gathered a large group of people from the Dou family behind him. Tian Wei is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the newly rising power also has a large group of people who support it. There is also Princess Liu Xuan, who is an absolute strongman, and a representative of the descendants, and a large group of minions gathered behind her.

Throughout the entire banquet hall, only Su Ren and Wei Qing were relatively lonely. Su Ren is an outsider, Wei Qing has just come to Chang'an, although his sister is now a lady, her status is not obvious, and it is not yet time for him to go wild.

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the Empress Dowager said. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Emperor said. After the emperor finished speaking, the royal relatives of the family showed loyalty. It's not so much a meal as a faithful confession meeting. Looking at the food in front of him, from steaming hot to a layer of ice stubble, Su Renzhen wanted to get up and leave. But he doesn't have the guts, he doesn't care about anyone's face, but the emperor's face has to be given.

Finally, everyone finished speaking, but Liu Che named Su Ren: "I want to thank Su Ren, if it weren't for you, my concubine and princess would be hard to say, this time you made a great contribution and said, what do you want?" Speak up, and I'll satisfy you! ”

Su Ren hurriedly got up, saluted Liu Che, looked left and right, everyone was looking at him: "Your Majesty, the minister is hungry!" ”

"Hahaha......" The Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hand: "Eat, eat!" ”

Although there was a layer of frost on the food, Su Ren was really hungry. I thought that when I came to the palace for a banquet, I could taste the palace food, but I didn't expect it to take so much effort. As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, Su Ren hurriedly sat down, grabbed the knife on a few cases, and sent a large piece of meat to his mouth. It caused everyone to laugh again.

Liu Che shook his head and smiled: "Imperial grandmother, queen mother, this Su Ren is a gourmet, the tofu that Erchen sent you a few days ago was made by him, I heard that Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang eat a small bowl every day, and they both have black hair on their heads." ”

"Oh? And such things? Then the Queen Mother can eat more! ”

Liu Che nodded: "Erchen has already asked the imperial chef to go to Su Ren to learn, you can eat it in the palace in a few days, and then the imperial grandmother and queen mother will eat more, and they will be healthy and healthy, which is also the blessing of Erchen." ”

Dou nodded: "It's good that you have this filial piety, and the mourning family is happy!" ”

Liu Che smiled: "Su Ren's family is not only delicious tofu, there are a lot, much better than in the palace, the four kings will come to worship in a few days, the son of the minister means to let Su Ren make a banquet, and let the four kings taste it, what do you think of the imperial grandmother and queen mother?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the Empress Dowager and said to Liu Che: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is far away from cooking, although Su Ren was born in a businessman, he is also a speaker now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let him do such things?" ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "Although the queen mother can rest assured, I have already told Su Ren about this matter, and he also agreed, the sons just want to hear the opinions of the empress dowager and the queen mother, and the four kings who will come this time are all the brothers of the sons and daughters, and they are already dressed and eaten in their fiefdoms on weekdays, and the dishes of Su Ren's family taste very good and novel, which just shows that the sons attach importance to them." ”

The so-called four kings, there are Liu Deng, the king of Changsha, Liu Fa, the king of Zhongshan, and Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan. The most famous of them is Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, who was good at drinking and eating, according to records, Liu Sheng only lived for fifty-three years, but had more than 120 sons. In this way, if Liu Sheng starts marrying and having children at the age of sixteen, until he is fifty-three years old, thirty-seven years, at least four sons are born every year, not including daughters. It's still the same sentence, the old society of all evils.

In addition to Liu Sheng's ability to give birth to a son, the most memorable point is that four hundred years later, the big-eared thief with both ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands above his knees reported his ancestors in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and won the title of an imperial uncle. Whether it's true or not, it can be regarded as a fame for Liu Sheng.

In fact, among the four kings, the most talked-about descendant should be Liu Fa, the king of Changsha. He is the sixth son of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi, and is the elder brother of Liu Che, and one of his descendants is the real emperor. Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of Zhongxing Han, is the fifth grandson of Liu Fa, and he is the real royal family and the real imperial relatives.

These four people came to Chang'an to pay their respects, which is good. It's actually because they're not doing very well. Since the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the imperial court has guarded them like thieves, and will send people to inspect their territories at every turn, not to mention a good person, send an arrogant and lascivious guy, and the princes and kings can only consider themselves unlucky. Gifts, that's for sure, if you can't send them, you can't keep them even, how can these people talk nonsense when they return to Chang'an.

The princes and kings who have soldiers and territory don't care, their foundation is still shallow, and they can't even handle the prime minister in the subject country, let alone the angels of the court. Living in a subject country, I am worried every day, for fear that I will not do well at all, make the emperor angry, and it is a trivial matter for my princes to lose the throne, and it will be a big problem if my life is gone. So this time, under the banner of worship, I actually came to complain.

"Huh!" The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's okay, if Su Ren is willing, let him make a royal banquet, but you have to take into account the royal face, the banquet can't be too unreasonable!" ”

Liu Che smiled and hurriedly saluted: "Don't worry, grandmother, grandson has his own plans!" ”

A plate of cold meat, Su Ren actually finished eating it like this. It was too cold, and I was shivering from the cold, so I hurriedly summoned a palace maid and asked me to go to that hot water. Wei Qing and Su Ren were in the same position, and they also ate cold meat, and when they heard Su Ren greet the palace maid, they looked at it with a blank eye.

Su Ren pointed at Wei Qing: "Get him a bowl too!" ”

The palace maid smiled and bowed, and went to get hot water. The family banquet has the rules of the family banquet, the empress dowager left the table, and the Dou family got up one after another to bid farewell to the emperor. The Queen Mother left the table, and the Wang family also got up to say goodbye. Seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were gone, Chen Ajiao couldn't stay too long, got up to give a salute to the emperor, and followed, so Concubine Liu naturally couldn't sit anymore. In the spacious hall, there were soon only three people left: Liu Che, Su Ren and Wei Qing.

Su Ren got up and came to the stove, holding the hot water bowl, his teeth fighting. Liu Che took the last bite of meat into his mouth and drove everyone out with a wave of his hand. Su Ren breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Che: "Next time, don't call me, eating cold meat will make you upset!" ”

"Don't be afraid of having a doctor!"

Su Ren was speechless and sighed. Liu Che smiled: "The matter I told you last time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have already agreed, how about it?" All right? ”

Wei Qing stared at the two of them with wide eyes, eager to hear what the two of them were talking about. It's a pity that both of them used that incident instead, and no one mentioned it. caused Wei Qing to speculate. When he was in Pingyang, he heard that his brother-in-law, the emperor, had some quirks, and liked handsome men, like Han Yan, who could share the same bed with the emperor. Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to Su Ren. After looking at Su Ren carefully for a long time, Wei Qing felt very strange in his heart, Su Ren was not as good as him, and the taste of his brother-in-law emperor was really unusual.

If people don't say it, he can't ask, just sit aside and listen quietly.

Su Ren glanced at the emperor: "Selected?" ”

Liu Che nodded. Su Ren's eyes rolled: "Okay, I'll prepare as soon as I go back!" ”

"The Empress Dowager has a request, the banquet can be seen, do you understand?"

"You can rest assured that I will never deal with any problems!"
