Fortunately, Xiao Han did too many wild and uninhibited things before!
As for wearing a bathrobe to a banquet or going to his own family banquet, compared with the previous events, it is really not a weird trip.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang just muttered a few words, but was interrupted by the impatient Liu Zhi, who kept urging him to start the dinner quickly.
What is this in front of you? The world-famous Xiao Mansion delicacies!
Speaking of which, ever since Xiao Han left Chang'an and traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and the north of Mobei, how long has it been since he, a self-proclaimed gourmet, has tasted authentic Xiao Mansion's delicacies?
Although many restaurants in Chang'an City now consciously or unintentionally state on their signboards that they have Xiao Mansion's secret recipe and can make authentic Xiao Mansion dishes.
But after Liu Zhi went to taste it, he felt that no matter how similar the ones cooked in those restaurants were, there was always a missing taste, a very special and crucial taste.
Now, finally tasting this delicacy again, Liu Zhi was almost moved to tears! This is the smell that haunts him in his dreams!
"Hey, Fatty Liu, why are you crying after eating a meal?" At the dinner table, Zhang Qiang accidentally saw tears shining in Fatty's eyes, and Zhang Qiang put down his chopsticks in confusion and asked.
"No...no!" Seeing everyone at the table looking towards him, Liu Zhi quickly raised his sleeves and wiped his dancing eyes: "It was a strong wind, and I accidentally lost my eyesight!"
"How strong is the wind? Is there any wind in the house?" Zhang Qiang became even more surprised when he heard this. He specifically stretched his head to look at the candles lit on the lamp stand.
A row of flames the size of broad beans danced slightly, and the smoke was straight, not like there was wind at all.
"Don't worry about him. He came here secretly. He is afraid that he will be caught and put to death when he goes back!" Xiao Han, who was wearing a loose bathrobe, bit into two green vegetables and said vaguely to Zhang Qiang.
It is said that since returning from the grassland, he has developed the habit of eating green vegetables.
And not only him, but Chai Shao, who used to be all-consuming, also gnawed on vegetables every day along the way. In Xiao Han's words: he almost turned himself into a rabbit!
"I didn't sneak away!" It was obvious that Liu Zhi was very taboo about Xiao Han's truth. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his voice to Zhang Qiang: "I was forced to catch him!"
"Oh? The captured prisoners can still be eaten together? It's really rare!"
This time, before Xiao Han could speak, a teasing voice came from the door of the living room.
"who!"
Liu Zhi was so annoyed by the teasing that he couldn't help clapping his chopsticks, stood up and looked at the door fiercely.
At the door of the living room, the person who spoke this time did not announce his home address again, but walked out of the darkness step by step.
But when the candlelight in the room completely illuminated his face, Liu Zhi's originally fierce face had turned pale! Whiter than a plastered wall…
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Liu Zhi's knees softened when he saw the person coming, and he almost sat on the ground!
Fortunately, Zhang Qiang, who was next to him, had quick eyes and quick hands and stuffed the stool under his butt in advance, thus saving Fatty Liu a little face.
"I have met His Majesty!"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came for a private visit in disguise. Naturally, the people in the room could no longer sit still and quickly stood up to greet him.
But unlike Liu Zhi, who was extremely shocked, the others seemed not surprised at all by Li Shimin's arrival. Zhang Qiang even muttered a few words in a low voice, which probably meant why he had arrived just now!
"Sit, everyone, sit down!"
Li Shimin, who came to visit at night, did not wear a dragon robe, but simply wore a green shirt. His black hair was tied into a bun with an ordinary jade hairpin, and he shook a white paper folding fan in his hand. They look like the wealthy young men who can be seen everywhere on the streets of Chang'an.
"Sit? You're here, who dares to sit down?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and thought to himself, aren't you a fool?
Are we sitting and you standing? Are you watching while we eat?
If word of this spreads, everyone in the world will drown us with their spit!
"Your Majesty, why are you free to come to Wei Chen's house?" Instead of sitting down as Li Shimin said, Xiao Han hurried forward to greet him and asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense, I just went to the military camp, and I heard that your kid is on sick leave! Can I come and take a look?"
When Li Shimin saw Xiao Han, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, a hint of excitement clearly flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed the excitement well.
Xiao Han was obviously aware of this, and looked at Li Shimin carefully, and found that he was almost the same as when he left half a year ago!
If so, it means that Li Shimin is more confident and open-minded at this time, and the gloom that used to be hidden deep in his eyebrows has completely disappeared.
"Hehe, I am indeed sick, homesickness!" Hehehe smiled, Xiao Han didn't care about having his lie exposed by Li Shimin on the spot.
It is stupid to lie in front of Li Shimin. History has proved this, but Xiao Han thinks it is okay to twist the truth.
"Homesickness? Is it lovesickness?" Li Shimin smiled and cursed at Xiao Han. For some reason, he always felt inexplicably relaxed when he was with Xiao Han.
"Almost! Almost! Sit down? Have something to drink?" Once again, Xiao Han was exposed by someone back then, even though Xiao Han was so thick-skinned, he blushed a little at this time.
"Forget it..." Li Shimin looked at Liu Zhi, who was sweating in his seat, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "I came today just to see you."
Xiao Han grinned and suggested again: "How about I go out for a walk with you?"
"That's okay!" This time, Li Shimin did not refuse, and quickly agreed.
If you go out for a walk, you have to find a quiet place. The gate, of course, does not meet this point.
Because Xiao Han knew that if he went out from the gate, he would be seen by those people in the village outside.
Nothing to say, drinking from the first table to the last table is for sure. By then, let alone accompanying the emperor, if you can persist in not lying down, it will be considered a success!
Therefore, after leaving the living room, Xiao Han decisively took Li Shimin towards the back door.
The back door of Xiao's Mansion is not big and is usually used for shopping, delivery, etc., so the outside of this door is also directly connected to a main road.
However, because of the large flowing water mat in front, there was no one on this road where many people should be enjoying the shade. There was only a sound of squeaking in the darkness not far away, as if someone was hiding there.
Xiao Han obviously heard a strange noise, but he didn't show anything strange.
Because he knew that when the emperor was in the mood, he could wear a white dragon fish suit, or he could pay a private visit incognito.
But the guards around him would never dare to let the emperor run around the world alone! Now in the Xiao family's village, if it were another village, those imperial guards would have been lying on the roof long ago.
"Snapped……"
God knows if Xiao Han's mouth has been opened. Just when he thought of the scene of the guards going to the room, there was the sound of broken tiles on the roof not far away.
Immediately after, a shrew who had wrapped a bunch of food in a bag and was running home in a hurry started howling.
"Damn it! Who is on the roof of my house! Come on, catch the thief!"
