    "Stop fooling my old lady here. If you need anything, just tell that old slave. We will wait here today. We will start dinner when you are ready!"

    Liu Deng was dumbfounded. Is this still the current queen?  This feels like an old lady playing rogue.

    But the more the queen behaved like this, the warmer he felt in his heart.  Liu Deng couldn't help but secretly wonder if he was out of his mind. Wasn't he a masochist?

    Although I think so, I can't say that. After all, this is the most noble family in the Han Dynasty. If they offend them, they will never be able to hang out in the Han Dynasty in this life. They will have to run away to the end of the world.  Catch it for you.

    "No problem, elders, wait a moment, I'll get ready now!"

    Liu Deng then discovered that a long row of stoves and tables had been placed outside Xinuang Pavilion.

    Various seasonings were lined up, but the only thing missing was pepper and aniseed. However, this was not a problem, so Liu Deng directly ordered someone to go to the Taiyuan Hospital to get it.

    Without all the seasonings, we can only make simple home-cooked dishes. However, in today's era of roasting or stewing, stir-frying is definitely an advantage.

    "Mother, after all, this boy has just made a great contribution and was assassinated. If we treat him like this at this time, will others gossip about him?"

    When Liu Deng went out to prepare, Liu Qi said softly from the side.

    "I don't understand. This boy is different from others. He is your blood relative! Your third brother died early. From now on, the Han Dynasty will be handed over to you. There are not many reliable people to help you. You are on your own.  Can people play around?"

    The queen didn¡¯t say anything. Today¡¯s events were all the emperor¡¯s idea. Although it seemed like a child¡¯s play on the surface, how could the emperor do things just for fun?

    "My son has learned a lesson!"

    Liu Qi suddenly realized this.  Compared with his father's efforts, he was still far behind in winning people's hearts.

    "This boy is a relative of my Liu clan, but he doesn't have too many ambitions. Isn't he a good helper for you? You can use him with confidence, and you don't have to worry about him getting too big in the future. Originally, my father had the third child  I put them in the Kingdom of Dai, the fourth child in the Kingdom of Liang, and the second child in Suiyang, just to build a line of defense for you, but I didn¡¯t expect"

    When he said this, Liu Heng's eye circles were a little red. The death of two sons in succession was a huge blow to him.

    "Father, why do you say this so politely? Can't you think of something good during this big holiday?"

    Seeing him like this, the eldest princess Liu Piao hurriedly said.

    "That's right, Father, it's such a big holiday, you should think of something happy"

    Liu Qi also hurriedly tried to persuade him.

    "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Although the two of them are no longer here, Liu Deng and Lao Er are here. Even if those guys have disobedient intentions, you will have two helping hands in the future! For them two  , you just need to be more sincere, and you must know that brothers working together can make a difference!"

    Having been the emperor for so many years, how could he not feel the changes in the court situation? Over the years, the attitudes of several vassal princes towards the court have become increasingly ambiguous.

    Although these people should not have rebelled when he was alive, as his own son, he also knew very well that it was the emperor's idea to let Chao Cuo serve as the prince's retainer.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of mind, the prince's retainer is just a small official with less than one thousand dan, and his role is similar to that of housekeeper, secretary, etc. assigned by the court to the prince.

    ¡°But Chao Cuo was a man with a bright mind, and many of his opinions were very similar to those of Jia Yi back then.

    Letting Chao Cuo stay in this position is something worth pondering in itself.

    He knew very well that probably the first thing he would do after his son came to power would be to start a fight with those princes and kings.  However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Over the years, he has gradually seen through it. The disobedience of those guys has long been obvious, and it may not be wrong to have a fight with them.

    "My son knows! Father, please rest assured!"

    After all, his son is already in his 30s. Since Liu Qi has nodded in agreement, Liu Heng has stopped talking. Many things have been mentioned here, and it is enough to say this.

    "However, what happened today also made the eldest princess see Liu Deng's status in the eyes of her father. It seems that this boy should get close to him in the future."?

    After all, he is still young. When Gillian and her siblings grow up, I can entrust him to take care of them!

    "Being in a wealthy family, in the eyes of ordinary people, you are naturally born with a golden key in your mouth, but how can things in this deep house and compound be so simple?

    While they were talking, all the things Liu Deng needed were taken care of by the cooks. Liu Deng waved his hand and drove all the cooks aside.

    A strange scene appeared in the back garden of the palace. Liu Deng was wearing the royal robes of the princes. Under the watchful eyes of a group of cooks and eunuchs, he added a stick of firewood to the bottom of the pot and started to heat the pot.

    There is no soy sauce, and there is no decent white sugar or rock sugar, but it can be fooled with icing sugar. The braised pork is indeed a bit unauthentic, but the red color of the icing sugar just makes up for the lack of soy sauce.  .

    This time there was a bumper harvest of peppers. After deducting all the seeds, Liu Deng brought some peppers over, which was just in time for the emperor to taste.

    Other dishes can¡¯t be cooked, but this Sichuan-style twice-cooked pork is no problem. Although some of it is not very authentic, it is no problem to deal with the emperor and the like, who have never eaten stir-fried vegetables.

    Another bowl of Mapo tofu, Sixi meatballs, and other things are just fine, but the soybean sauce prepared by the palace is really good. I also want to bring some shredded pork with Beijing sauce, chicken with saliva, and shredded chicken with red oil.  In less than an hour, Liu Deng had placed a large table full of dishes in front of the emperor.

    Facing a table full of dishes, the emperor was obviously not mentally prepared to taste delicious food. These things were unprecedented.  Not only was the cooking method novel, but the food hadn't even been in his mouth yet. Just smelling the aroma made Liu Heng feel like he had lived most of his life in vain!

    "Boy, what is this?"

    The emperor took a piece of saliva chicken, looked at the bright red color on it, and asked curiously.

    "Grandpa Huang, this is an overseas spice that my grandson bought from a Taoist priest. Now he is trying to plant it. This is the first batch of fruits. After taking out the seeds, I brought them to you for a try!"

    Liu Deng quickly stood up and explained that the emperor was really particular about eating. Wang Deyi took a silver needle and prepared to test the poison. However, Liu Heng drove him away before he got close. Liu Deng made all these things.  Yes, even though he is a junior, it is already the limit for a vassal king to do this. If he tries the poison again, Liu Deng's heart will be chilled!

    "Then I want to try it!"

    Liu Heng smiled, opened his mouth and took a careful bite
