Chapter 1814 Empress Fu
"Your Majesty, you said that the food in the palace is very tasteless. Today, I called for the dishes from Hong Xilou to enter the palace. The roasted geese in this family are tasty. Even if it's to improve the food for you, haha!"
A large general with a strong appearance walked over with a group of people and dispersed the maids who were dancing in the courtyard.
This fellow's behavior could be considered rude, but Liu Xie and Empress Fu did not have any unusual expressions. Obviously, they were already used to this kind of scene.
The emperor who had been trapped for so many years, how could he still have the dignity of an emperor? Qin An felt that Liu Xie was really not easy, and he also bitterly married his woman.
"Come, come, Wang Hongxi, bring up all your dishes and put them on…"
Halfway through his words, the general's gaze fell on Qin An. He frowned and said,
"Oh? Who is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Wang Hongxi hurriedly rushed forward.
"Lord Cao, this is Second Brother's in-law. My son is going to get married. He is my daughter-in-law's brother."
"Oh … Haha, congratulations!"
Qin An could not help but shake his head when he saw that he had only come to ask and turned around to leave. He was really careless, or perhaps he didn't care at all.
Wang Hongxi kept giving Qin An a glance. Qin An acted as his little waiter. There was also a warmth pavilion near the pavilion. The warmth pavilion was divided into two floors. Qin An followed Wang Hongxi upstairs and took out stacks of dishes.
In Qin'an's eyes, the so-called delicacies could not even catch up with ordinary modern farmhouse dishes, and the emperor at the end of the burly man was also bitter enough.
Not long after, Liu Xie brought Empress Fu, Xu Fei, and Lan Fei in, followed carelessly by Lord Cao.
This person was called Cao Qi, a nephew of Cao Cao. Cao Qi didn't know any martial arts, but he was very strong, and he was especially sincere to Cao Cao, so he was arranged to be the commander of the guards in Xu Capital Imperial City.
In xu also lived some officials, of course, are the so-called big fellow officials, in fact, is just with liu association was put under house arrest, big fellow celebrities, cao cao don't want to fall a disloyal and unfilial name, also put these people and big fellow emperor circle together.
After entering the room, Cao Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going hunting this afternoon. Please stay here with the Empress for dinner. I appreciate Your Majesty's hard work and know that you especially want to go outside the palace. Unfortunately, Duke Wei is afraid that evil people will harm Your Majesty, so I won't allow you to go out." "Ah, Your Majesty, don't worry. Although you can't leave, I can bring Imperial Concubine Lan with me. When she comes back and tells you about our hunt, it will be equivalent to you going out for a tour."
Ah?
Qin An, who was setting the dishes on the table, was stunned for a moment and looked up at Concubine Lan.
This woman was sitting beside Liu Xie. She was probably in her early twenties. She didn't know which family's girl she was from, but she probably just entered the palace not long ago.
Liu Xie want to find a wife is very difficult, can only be selected from the city han minister home, or by cao cao appointed.
Ai, this is really sad, the dignified big fellow Tianzong imperial concubine, actually wanted to be brought out to hunt by the subjects, dirty things don't want to know, I guess Liu Xie also have no way to resist, right?
Qin An was right. Not only did Liu Xie have no intention of resisting, he simply didn't say a word and sat at the table like a puppet. Empress Fu, on the other hand, was somewhat indignant, her face flushed with anger.
"General cao, imperial concubine orchid is his majesty's imperial concubine, for you out of the city hunting into what kind of etiquette? Since Duke Wei was afraid that His Majesty would comfort him, "I don't want him to leave the Xudu inner city palace. Our madam will naturally come and go with him. If you want to go hunting, go ahead. I am the empress of the dynasty, and the concubine of the harem is under my command. Concubine Lan must not leave the palace. If you insist on bringing her along, it's fine. I will inform Duke Wei that Concubine Lan is not going to stay by His Majesty's side in the future."
Empress Fu's words were neither humble nor sarcastic, which made Qin An admire them.
Hearing Empress Fu's words, Cao Qi's expression darkened.
"Empress, are you threatening me?"
As he spoke, Cao Qi unexpectedly sat down beside Concubine Lan on the round table and grabbed her hand and placed it on the table.
"I just said very clearly, with Lan Fei out just let her record our carefree and happy hunting process, let her come back to inform you! Whether you are willing or not, no matter how the emperor guessed it, I am completely loyal. It would be inappropriate for me to disappoint my good intentions! My master has now led troops to leave luoyang, judge the usurper wei, how can you have the leisure to care about the harem? Imperial concubine Lan, this lowly official will accompany you for dinner today. Follow me when you're done! "
Imperial Concubine Lan was grabbed by the hand, blushing from face to neck. This woman was almost thirty years old this year, but her skin was smooth and tender, and especially white. This redness looked very attractive, like a ripe apple.
Qin An could tell that this woman had been in cahoots with Cao Qi since a long time ago. However, to the feudal etiquette, as the imperial concubine, her current behavior was too shameless, so she was ashamed.
However, the world knew about Dong Zhuo's cholera harem before. With this precedent, people's mentality was better.
Therefore, Lan Fei only lowered her head in shame, but did not refuse Cao Qi to pull her little hand up.
Liu Xie's patience was very strong. He only put on a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the roasted goose. After putting it in his mouth, he nodded slightly.
"It's very delicious. It tastes better than the food in our palace. General Cao, I wonder who the chef of Hong Xilou is. Send him to the palace."
Cao Qi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Liu Xie to be so calm.
"Haha, this is a trivial matter. I will obey the decree, but Concubine Lan…"
"Yes, she always says that staying in the palace is boring. General Cao, take her out for a trip and help me take care of my beloved consort."
"Hahahaha, don't worry! I will take good care of her!"
Cao Qi smiled exaggeratedly. Lan Fei's hand came to the room. Then, it moved to the bottom of the table and touched Lan Fei's waist.
Lan Fei's body trembled slightly, her head lowered, but she did not say a word.
"Wang Hongxi, did you hear what His Majesty said? Send your chef to the palace and cook for His Majesty in the future."
Wang Hongxi's forehead was covered with sweat. His chef had been hired at a high cost. The business of the shop depended on him. If he sent it into the palace, his shop would be yellow.
Qin An stood beside Wang Hongxi and raised his eyebrows. Afterwards, he suddenly bent down and said rudely, "Xiaomin obey the decree!"
Wang Hongxi and Cao Qi looked at him at the same time. "Aren't you Wang Hongxi's in-laws? Why are you a cook again?" Cao Qi said.
"Sir, I'm not a chef, but I made these dishes."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Alright, then you stay in the palace. Wang Hongxi, you are his guarantor. If he has any other problems, I want your entire family's head to fall to the ground!"
Cao Qi wasn't stupid, he directly simplified the problem.
Wang Hongxi was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he didn't know what to say.
He was very conflicted. He didn't understand why Qin An lied and stayed in the palace. Did he really have some indiscriminate thoughts?
Originally, Wang Hongxi wanted to expose Qin An, but when he remembered Mi Yue's obedient and exquisite appearance, he couldn't bear to part with her anymore. He felt that it wasn't easy for his son to find a satisfactory wife.
Qin An had never thought that this was the second time he had been helped by the dumb and cute Mi Yue in his eyes. This could be considered a fool's blessing.
After the dishes were placed, Qin An and Wang Hongxi were taken out.
Wang Hongxi wanted to find a chance to talk to Qin An, but he had never had a chance. He could only watch as he disappeared before his eyes and was sent out of the palace.
After lingering at the palace gate for a long time, Wang Hongxi finally gave up. Perhaps this was good, at least he kept his chef. He only hoped that Qin An would not cause trouble in the palace!
…
Qin An really felt that everything was going smoothly and unimaginably smoothly.
There should already be eunuchs in the han dynasty, he didn't even need to calm down to enter the palace, it can be seen how the emperor is not valued.
Along the way to the dining room, Qin An discovered that it wasn't that he hadn't been quiet. There weren't many eunuchs in the palace.
In other words, apart from the eunuchs that Liu Xie served, there was no one else in the palace.
The soldier with the knife threw Qin An into the so-called dining room and left. The person who received him was a middle-aged fatty in his forties.
"Ah, it's been a long time since we've had a rookie. I've been steward here since the Emperor moved in. What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Qin An."
"Oh? That's a good name. It's easy to remember. My name is Wei De. You can call me Eunuch De."
Eunuch? Looking at the man's beard, Qin An was sure that he was not a eunuch.
Speaking of which, this eunuch was originally just a title for an official position, but it gradually became the same as the eunuch in the later stages. Therefore, it seemed that the title of "father-in-law" was only a respectful title for an official.
This person called himself Eunuch De, not Eunuch Wei, should be in order to distinguish himself from Cao Cao.
Eunuch De was kind enough to show Qin An around the dining room and arrange a dormitory for him. The conditions were very good. The double room was unoccupied before Qin An moved into the room, so it could be considered a single room.
Qin An lurked like this, waiting for Tang Yu to arrive outside the city to attack Xu Du, then he could take advantage of the chaos to take Liu Xie away. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to look for a way to escape. After all, it was impossible for him to bring only one person from Liu Xie. His empress, imperial concubine, prince, and empress probably had dozens of people.
After familiarizing himself with his surroundings all afternoon, In the evening, Qin An started to cook, His approach is not too novel, Eunuch De only added a few seasonings. He had been watching from the side. He didn't know what Qin An had made and put it in the dish, so he went forward to check. Qin An explained to him some things like pepper, monosodium glutamate, refined salt and so on. Eunuch De was immediately subdued after tasting a mouthful. He felt that Qin An's food was really unimaginable.
Since the food was confirmed to be non-toxic, the next step was to send food to the palaces.
Liu Xie had a queen and seven imperial concubines. They lived in different dormitories, that is, in different courtyards. The palaces in the dining room each took a food box and then went to deliver their meals to the palaces.
Because Qin An was personally ordered into the palace by Liu Xie, Eunuch De asked Qin An to take the food box and go with him to the place where Liu Xie lived.
Just as Qin An had thought, the surrounding area of the giant courtyard with a wall height of 5 meters was also heavily guarded. The guards should all be true experts, and they were very serious. If Eunuch De didn't bring them along, it would be impossible for them to sneak into this place unless they rushed in.
After entering the courtyard and passing through several corridors, they finally arrived at the house where Liu Xie lived. In the living room, Liu Xie and Queen Fu had already sat down. Because it was dark, there was an oil lamp burning in the room. Liu Xie still didn't care about anything. Queen Fu's expression was extremely gloomy, and the nearby eunuchs and palace maids all quietly bent down and didn't dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, Empress, this old servant will bring Qin An in."
When Eunuch De saw the Emperor, he did not kneel either and only bowed slightly.
Qin An felt that this was good, at least he didn't have to kneel.
"Oh … Qin An? A new chef today, right? There's no need to be too polite. Someone, bring the food to the table."
Liu Xie was very polite to Eunuch De.
It was said that the county magistrate was better off managing the kitchen now. Eunuch De controlled the kitchen, and all the food in the palace had to pass through his hands.
Cao Cao threatened the princes for many years, it was hard to guarantee that some forces would want to get rid of Liu Xie and make Cao Cao lose an important chess piece, so it was obviously too difficult to directly charge into Xu Du to kill Liu Xie, poisoning was the best choice.
Liu Xie had been saving his life all his life, and his ability to save his life was definitely professional, so he naturally did not dare to offend Eunuch De.
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the courtyard. Cao Qi had returned. Imperial Concubine Lan was following Cao Qi. She staggered along, but her charming eyes were filled with spring. It seemed that the afternoon had been devastated by Cao Qi. She was in pain and happy.
"Your Majesty, I brought Concubine Lan back safely, hahaha!"
Holding onto Concubine Lan's hand, Cao Qi was unscrupulous and directly sat across from Liu Xie.
'"Ah? Are these dishes cooked by the newly opened chef of the Hong Xi Lou? They look good and taste delicious! Your Majesty, Chen is very tired from hunting today and he didn't eat dinner. Why don't we have dinner together tonight? Someone, add two dishes and chopsticks. Imperial Concubine Lan is also very busy this afternoon, so you should eat something good! Hahaha!"
As Cao Qi spoke, his eyes moved back and forth on Concubine Lan's body. Thinking about how she would let him take whatever he wanted without wearing clothes in the afternoon, he was actually a little excited again. He raised his hand and secretly pinched Concubine Lan's butt fiercely.
Ancient women wore outer skirts but no underwear. Cao Qi's hand stretched out a little far. Qin An could see a trace of white flesh on Lan Fei's back when she retreated from the fork.
This f*ck is really beautiful. A small commander of the Great Internal Guards actually dares to tease Imperial Concubine Gong beneath the Emperor's eyelids. Although he is still not as arrogant as Dong Zhuo, it is more or less enough. It seems to be less for cao cao's direct descendants, the majesty of the big man is gone.
"General Cao, this is His Majesty's dormitory. Foreign ministers were not allowed to enter. Since you're here, it's fine. You actually want to have dinner with His Majesty? Hmph, Concubine Lan! General Cao took you to hunt. His Majesty gave you a decree to return and report on the hunting situation. You actually didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so you directly sat down to eat?"
Liu Xie's face instantly turned pale as he reached out his hand and lightly touched Empress Fu.
Empress Fu was not stupid. She could already see the situation of Lan Fei flirting with Cao Qi. She had been angry ever since they left at noon. The so-called empress, she can't even restrain the harem, this is a kind of shame for her.
Fu shou is xuzhou lang xie county dong wu county, father fu wan married princess yang an liu hua, once in the han dynasty as a waiter.
In 190, Dong Zhuo kidnapped 9-year-old Liu Xie to Chang'an and followed Fu Shou. At this time, she had already entered Yeting and was only 10 years old. Nowadays, she is a 32-year-old woman. She has endured many hardships along the way with Liu Xie. Ever since she moved into Xu Du, her miserable life has ended. For many years, she always regarded the harem as a place of dignity. Only when facing the women of the harem did she look like a queen!
Liu Xie could endure it all the time. He had lost the big fellow, Jiang Shan. He no longer believed in anything!
But what about him? If she let Lan Fei go, then all of her dignity would be gone!
Therefore, Empress Fu retaliated again. She felt that she was quite smart. Although she had expressed her dissatisfaction with Cao Qi, she did not dwell on him. Instead, she went to find Lan Fei's fault!
This was naturally her goal. In her opinion, Cao Qi shouldn't be at odds with her. After all, this was the palace that Cao Cao had built for Liu Xie. That thief Cao liked to be loyal officials and had once written an article scolding Dong Zhuo. He wouldn't allow his subordinates to do something as ridiculous as Dong Zhuo, right? Therefore, if he didn't cause trouble for Cao Qi, he would definitely be able to deal with Concubine Lan.
Hearing Empress Fu's words, Lan Fei's body trembled slightly and her face turned slightly pale. She was actually quite afraid. Empress Fu had always displayed the aura of a mother in the harem. Even though they were all prisoners, Empress Fu was not inferior in terms of aura.
Because of the fear in her heart, Lan Fei's body uncontrollably stood up. However, before she could make her next move, Cao Qi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her arm. Then, he slapped the table heavily with his other hand.
"Pa!"
A muffled sound entered his ears. The eunuchs and palace maids behind Liu Xie were so scared that they knelt on the ground together. Liu Xie was so scared that he stood up and took two steps back.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in AD 200, Liu Xie wrote an imperial edict with fresh blood and sewed it into his clothes belt, secretly passing it on to Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng announced that he had accepted a secret edict from the Han Emperor's robe belt, and that Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei, and Wu Zilan had murdered Cao Cao. Receiving the first month of the matter was exposed, Dong Cheng and many other big fellows loyalty in front of Liu Xie was personally killed by cao cao.
After wearing clothes and summoning time, Liu Xie really understood the situation and knew that he would never have a chance to turn around again, so he had been patiently enduring for ten years.
The more he endured, the less people around him took him seriously.
Now, cao cao has not come to xu city for several years, xun yu in xu city a few years ago when his life is also decent, xun yu is not here now, the outer city is under the control of sima zhen, inner city is under the command of Cao Qi.
Sima was really a scholar general. It was said that he had extraordinary abilities, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune. He never showed his skills and usually loved to study some Dao techniques and immortal techniques, ignoring political affairs.
Therefore, his direct manager was Cao Qi.
Liu Xie was full of garden. The Empress was really busy. This affair between Lan Fei and Cao Qi was a scandal. Cao Qi definitely wouldn't allow it to spread out. How could he offend him because of this? This was a matter of life and death!
After slapping the table, Cao Qi smiled coldly and said, "Lan Fei, cut and sit down. I want to see what the Empress wants to do!"
