Looking at the food in front of him, Liu Xuan just took a few bites, and then looked at Cai Yan, who was sitting diagonally to the side.

Perhaps when he saw him stop, Cai Yan also stopped immediately and sat there looking at him. There was no fear in his eyes, but in the end he could not hide the loneliness.

Liu Xuan naturally knew what the reason was, but it seemed that it was not the right time to talk about this topic, but it would be more embarrassing to just sit there, so he had to stand up and find something to say casually.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I would like to wait for His Majesty to come back and eat together." Cai Yan's answer seemed to reveal a little enthusiasm, but the words were quite formal. I guess it was caused by the upbringing since childhood.

Cai Yong was a great scholar of the time and was extremely strict with his children's upbringing. Although Cai Yan was only sixteen years old and was still considered a child in the era Liu Xuan was familiar with, his actions and speech seemed quite mature and steady.

If Liu Xuan were to describe her, Cai Yan would fit in well with the legendary 'lady's appearance'.

But because of this, it was always difficult for Liu Xuan to communicate freely with Cai Yan. He didn't want to do this. After all, Cai Yan would be the master of his back house (not using a certain word, because the emperor's exclusive institution was asterisked).

Lost), he was so busy outside that he hoped to live a more relaxed life when he returned to his own world.

However, Cai Yan's appearance made him feel that he had no idea what to do, and he felt a little reluctant to do anything to girls of this age. As a result, the two of them had been very embarrassed since they got married, and they had been fooling around in a daze.

.

Liu Xuan stuffed two more mouthfuls into his mouth. Liu Xuan couldn't say he liked the food at this time. The taste was simple and the method was relatively simple. Most of them were cooked in a cauldron. He had eaten many kinds of food in the future and used fairy energy.

The strange dishes made from the rare spiritual fruits and animals that were bred, naturally I am not very interested in these bland things.

In addition, now that he has entered the dragon egg stage, his need for food is even lower - it's okay if he doesn't eat. Now Liu Xuan can do fasting long ago.

Only Cao Bao, who was closest to him, roughly knew about these things, and Cai Yan certainly didn't know.

As for waiting for Liu Xuan to come back today, he also felt that the emperor's attitude towards him was lukewarm. More importantly, after he entered the palace, the emperor had never done anything he had learned from the older female officials after he entered the palace.

Of course she understood what this meant after having gained a lot of relevant knowledge.

"Is it possible that the emperor doesn't like me? He only accepted me into the palace to stabilize the situation in the court?"

Cai Yan is not a stupid woman. To a certain extent, she is one of the smartest women of this era. She can make some general guesses about the matters in the court even from her father's words.

Dong Zhuo was in power, and the veterans of the previous dynasty were willing to confront Dong Zhuo, but they were powerless. Most of the troops in the capital were in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and his father seemed to have become a buffer between the two.

"Maybe the emperor chose himself because he valued this."

Liu Xuan came back to rest later and later these days. If she hadn't known that Liu Xuan only accepted one of her women as his concubine, she might have thought that Liu Xuan had other women he liked more.

"From now on, you won't need to be so polite when no one else is around."

Cai Yan was startled by Liu Xuan's sudden words, and it took him a moment to realize what Liu Xuan meant.

"this……"

She has received strict upbringing since she was a child, and etiquette is almost engraved in her bones. Now that Liu Xuan wants her to be less polite, she doesn't know how to answer.

Naturally, Cai Yan didn't know that Liu Xuan had a lot of etiquette outside. What was the etiquette for meeting ordinary ministers, what was the etiquette for meeting princes, and what was the etiquette for the three princes. The etiquette for each level was different. In the Han Dynasty,

The hierarchy of the emperor is far more serious than imagined. Although the emperor is at the highest level, he also needs to know the most etiquette. Although there are etiquette officers accompanying him, he can't ask questions every time, right?

After such a whole day, what Liu Xuan misses the most is the free life. Unfortunately, when he returns to his bedroom, he is faced with a woman like Cai Yan. With such a polite appearance, she seems to have an extra layer of unfamiliarity.

feel.

He didn't like this. He just had such a suitable opportunity this time. Instead of saying it directly and clearly, if Cai Yan could relax a little, he would live a more comfortable life in the future.

From the beginning, he knew that when he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would inevitably have to take a concubine. He chose Cai Yanyi because of her reputation. In addition, he knew that Cai Yan's family background and being well-educated and sensible were the best candidates for the queen - the queen's mother.

Yitianxia naturally needs to have a certain style, so it’s not easy to just find someone to do it, right?

Maybe Liu Xuan was thinking a little too much, because there hasn't been much talk this year, so why didn't the Queen Mother He, who was just a butcher's daughter, become a queen? Did the minister say anything? So the officials of the Han Dynasty actually had no regard for the royal family.

He did not interfere too much in his private life. Even if he was as mediocre as the Ling Emperor, he was mostly criticized for selling his official position and nobility, appointing eunuchs to persecute Zhongliang, etc. He did not care much about the private life of the Ling Emperor.

Even though Emperor Ling built a swimming pool in Xiyuan and selected beautiful women aged between 14 and 18 years old to play in gauze, no ministers would comment on the matter. This shows the private affairs of the Han Dynasty royal family.

, it’s not the minister’s turn to talk nonsense.

There are even more examples, such as Qin Shihuang once built a wine pool, but he never really used it. Instead, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a wise emperor of the generation, repaired it and often had fun in it.

There are many similar examples, and Liu Xuan did not understand them until this period, so he personally named Cai Yan when choosing his concubine. However, it seems now that this choice was not so good.

"Concubine..." Cai Yan realized something was wrong as soon as he started speaking, and paused: "I..." Unfortunately, after trying it, it always felt awkward, and his little face was almost twisted into a ball.

Liu Xuan found it very funny.

Realizing that Cai Yan's character was like this, asking her to let go would probably be more uncomfortable than killing her, so he waved his hand: "Just pretend I didn't say that."

After finishing his sentence, he found that Cai Yan remained silent, but he didn't know that his words were too damaging to Cai Yan. He just thought that he made the emperor more unhappy, and he became more and more worried about his future in the palace.

.

Liu Xuan didn't know how to comfort him. Seeing that the atmosphere didn't get better, it actually got worse. In the end, he had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move and bring up the business.

"In the past few days, I have been tidying up in the palace and taking some important things close to me."

When Cai Yan heard Liu Xuan's words, he temporarily put aside the worries in his head and looked up at Liu Xuan with a strange expression, not understanding the purpose of this instruction.

"I will leave Luoyang in a while!"

"Leave?" Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed drastically. She had a vague premonition of something before, and then she finally realized: "Could it be..."

"It's not that bad!" Seeing Cai Yan's face, Liu Xuan knew that the woman had guessed something, but she was thinking in a bad direction. But even so, he could see that Cai Yan's intelligence was indeed extraordinary. Maybe

Better than many men.

He paused and sorted out his thoughts: "Dong Zhuo controls the government, but now he is fighting with the princes of Guandong. This is an opportunity for me and the princes in the court to take this opportunity to leave Luoyang and get rid of Dong Zhuo's control in one fell swoop.

"

These words are naturally meant to talk to others. For Liu Xuan, Dong Zhuo is not a problem at all. Even if he is in front of him now, he can kill him directly. It's just that the trouble lies behind, in order to be able to do it in the future.

To be a little more relaxed, let's do more things now.

After hearing Liu Xuan's explanation, Cai Yan understood the key.

Liu Xuan was the emperor, so he was naturally not willing to be manipulated by Dong Zhuo. It was normal for the emperor to want to seize power. Moreover, Dong Zhuo was domineering and there was much dissatisfaction in the court. At this time, the God-given opportunity must be taken advantage of.

Cai Yan didn't ask anything about whether the success was likely to be great or not. Instead, he directly asked what things needed to be sorted out. This made Liu Xuan quite suspicious.

"I won't mention anything else. Just bring some of your important things with you."

As the emperor, even if he brought nothing with him, he would still lack nothing when Chang'an stabilized. The most important thing was the six seals that the emperor used to handle government affairs.

The Six Seals are not the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo. The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo is just a symbol of food. When the edict is actually issued, it is not that one but the Six Seals.

These six seals are the emperor's official seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter, the emperor's official seal, the emperor's seal, and the emperor's letter. These six seals have different functions. They were originally managed by specialized officials, but since Liu Xuan ascended the throne,

, so he took these six seals with him.

In addition to trusting himself more, these six seals have been passed down for a long time and are used by the emperor. There is more or less dragon energy attached to them. Liu Xuan carries them with him in order to absorb the dragon energy on them.

This discovery also made Liu Xuan pay attention to the jade seal of the country. After all, the jade seal of the country is a symbol of inheritance, symbolizing the orthodoxy of the world. The dragon energy attached to it may be even more impressive. It cannot be found at the moment, but

Sooner or later, it will be back in my hands, and I don’t know how much improvement it will have on my cultivation by then.

At the same time, Liu Xuan also discovered that these six seals are the best magic weapon material. The material itself is not bad, and it has been tempered by two dynasties of dragon energy. If it is successfully refined, it may be a surprise.

After explaining it to Cai Yan, it was already past midnight. If we didn't rest, we might not need to sleep anymore, so we could just prepare for the morning court.

Liu Xuan looked at Cai Yan, who had already looked tired: "Get some rest. If you don't get a good rest these days, it won't be good if you lose your strength by then."

Cai Yan nodded. She also knew that this matter was even related to the issue of who would make the decision in the world in the future. Plus she was still young, so it was impossible to say that she was not panicking. But seeing Liu Xuan's calm expression so close,

Gradually, I calmed down.

"Does he feel so calm that this matter will definitely succeed and there is nothing to worry about?"
