"Ha Jinxiao" After hearing this, Irina burst out laughing, laughing until tears came out, "Do you believe it?
He sent people to catch me and wanted to kill me.
Do you think he will suddenly change?
If If I go out now, he must have tricked me into going back, and then you can imagine what will happen to me.
I don’t want to see his hateful face, let alone listen to his disgusting words.
Mr.
Liu, let him Get lost” Liu Chongwen wondered: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I have to say this to him before he believes it.
If he stays here and doesn't leave, it will not be a good thing for both of us."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Irina: "Well, you write down what you want to say and give it to Mr.
Liu, and Mr.
Liu will pass it on to Constantine, so that Mr.
Liu doesn't have to be embarrassed.
When Constantine sees it Your handwritten letter will also understand your determination.”
Irina could only think like this, so she agreed.
Liu Chongwen immediately asked someone to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Irina quickly wrote a letter and gave it to Liu Chongwen.
The content of the letter was not long, only short.
In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Chongwen did not read the few lines of words, so he just took them and turned around to leave.
Returning to the living room, Liu Chongwen saw Constantine still sitting on the chair.
Although he looked calm, he could tell from some details that Constantine was actually very anxious inside.
"Your Majesty, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
When Constantine heard Liu Chongwen's voice, he immediately turned around and said, "It's okay, Mr.
Liu, how are you?"
Liu Chongwen sat down and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I told the Empress Dowager Irina about your wish, but she sternly refused to meet you.
For this, I can only say I am very sorry.
This is written by the Empress Dowager Irina."
A letter to you."
He handed the letter over.
Constantine took it and read it.
The content of the letter was too short and he read it at a glance.
He held the letter and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that Constantine didn't respond for a long time, Liu Chongwen persuaded: "Your Majesty the Emperor, since the Empress Dowager Irina has decided to live here temporarily, I think you should go back first.
She is very angry now.
Maybe wait for her Will you change your mind when your anger subsides?
If you don’t really want to be detrimental to her, then you should understand her current feelings and mood."
Constantine said with a grimace: "But I can't let her live here forever.
What does this mean?"
Of course Liu Chongwen knew that Constantine was worried that rumors would spread among the people and give him a bad reputation.
He was an emperor, and a young emperor at that.
Young people loved face most, and he didn’t want to be said that he had put his The queen mother was forced to hide in the official residence of the Western Qin envoy, which was really unfilial.
Liu Chongwen said with a smile: "I know your Majesty's concerns.
A few days ago, a caravan brought several skilled cooks from Xinjing.
Hasn't Her Majesty the Queen Mother always liked oriental food?
So you can spread the word to the outside world.
The empress dowager liked oriental food and moved in I have arrived at the official residence of the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, and I am studying and learning how to cook Eastern cuisine with the chefs from the East.

If you are really sorry, send some money every month as the accommodation and food expenses of the Empress Dowager Irina here, Your Majesty What do you think?”
Constantine was very unwilling, but he could not use force.
This was the official residence of the Western Qin envoy, and threats would not work at all.
If threats had worked, Ferlandrius would have succeeded long ago.
After weighing it, he could only Can agree to Liu Chongwen's suggestion, "Well, my mother doesn't want to leave.
I can't force her to stay here.
She will cause trouble to Mr.
Liu.
I also hope that Mr.
Liu will take care of me.
I will send people to provide accommodation and food regularly.
Fee, please don’t think it’s too little, Mr.
Liu.”
Liu Chongwen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor, don't worry.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother Irina will receive the best care here.
As long as you send the expenses for food and clothing in time, it will be fine.
The higher the cost, the more care Her Majesty the Queen Mother will receive." the better” Constantine left, and Liu Chongwen sent him outside the gate.
He came with full confidence and returned disappointed.
After seeing off Constantine, Liu Chongwen hurried back to the backyard to report to Zhao Ziliang and Irina: "Your Majesty, Emperor Constantine is gone."
There was no change in the expression on Irina's face, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She said to Liu Chongwen: "Master Liu, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for the expenses of living here in a short time, but I still have a private house in the city. , there is also a manor outside the city.
I want to entrust Mr.
Liu to sell these two houses.
The proceeds will be enough for my living needs here.
If it is almost used up, Mr.
Liu will tell me at that time and I will find another way. , what do you think?”
Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Chongwen at this time: "I will pay for all the expenses of Empress Dowager Irina's life here.
Don't sell the house.
It won't be good if it spreads.
No matter how long she lives here, whatever she needs, you can help her."
Always satisfied” Liu Chongwen said: "Your Majesty does not need to worry about the cost.
His Majesty Emperor Constantine said before he left that he would send people to deliver it regularly.
You two should save some face for him."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Irina and nodded: "Master Liu is right, what do you think?"
"Humph, I'm tired, so I won't accompany you two anymore."
Irina said as she stood up and left, followed by a maid and a eunuch.
Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky, stood up and said: "It's almost dawn, I'll go and take a nap for a while, Mr.
Liu, go and have a rest too, you are no better than us, we are all idlers, you are the one who has important things to do, Pay more attention to rest” "Yes, I know, Your Majesty, please go slowly."
After dawn, the martial law that had been in place for several days was finally lifted, and the streets of Constantinople began to be lively again.
The citizens, who had been without income for many days in a row, tried their best to make up for the losses of these days.
The market The liveliness and bustling level are even greater than before martial law.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Zhao Ziliang got up.
The weather was hot in summer and he couldn't sleep in even if he wanted to.
He was woken up by the bustling noise outside the house.
Zhao Ziliang got up and washed up.

Liu Dan was greeting several waiters to bring tea and breakfast, "Just put it here.
Okay, you guys go down first."
Zhao Ziliang stretched his waist and asked: "Old Liu, why is it so noisy outside?"
Liu Dan bowed his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, Constantine has ordered the lifting of martial law.
The market has returned to its bustling and bustling side.
The streets are full of people, several times more than usual."
Zhao Ziliang said in surprise: "It's so lively, so we have to go see it.
Maybe we can encounter something interesting.
Besides, I haven't been to many places in Constantinople yet.
You go find Zhang Huchen and Bart and ask them to bring some Be prepared personally and don’t have too many people, so as not to draw attention to yourself.”
Liu Dan agreed: "Yes, Wei Chen will go and prepare now."
Zhao Ziliang sent Liu Dan away to sit on the stone bench to have breakfast.
Irina came over and asked: "Just now you told Mr.
Liu that you were going to play on the street."
Zhao Ziliang was biting a bun when he heard the sound and turned around and said, "Well, that's right.
Why did you get up so early?
Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Can't sleep," Irina said and sat opposite Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the breakfast and tea on the stone table: "Let's have some together."
Irina looked at the buns, snacks and tea on the table, stretched out her hand to pick up a bun and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so simple in your diet.
Do you usually eat like this?"
While eating, Zhao Ziliang looked up at Irina and asked: "How else do you think I would eat every meal with delicacies from the mountains and the sea?
Different ingredients vary in price and quantity, but as long as the cooking skills are good enough, even if No matter how ordinary ingredients are, you can cook delicious food.
However, even if I can't taste the delicious food every time, not without conditions, but because it's too troublesome and a little bit more.
No matter how delicious the food is, it will become boring if you eat it too much and if you eat it more often.
Even the most ordinary taste will feel like it is exquisitely delicious.
This is called the opposite of everything."
"It seems to make sense."
Irina said, taking a bite of the bun, chewing it a few times in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Well, this tastes very good, I didn't expect this to be useful.
It’s incredible that food made from noodles can be so delicious.”
Zhao Ziliang said: "You have eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and your taste buds have been stimulated too much.
Now when you eat food made with ordinary ingredients, you will feel delicious because you have never eaten it before.
This taste just stimulates your numbness."
Okay, I won’t tell you any more, I have to go shopping after eating.”
Irina immediately raised her head and widened her eyes: "How old are you, and you still go shopping?"
"Does it matter how old I am when I go shopping?
Yes, I am not too young.
Who said that you can't go shopping when you are older?"
Zhao Ziliang was quite dissatisfied with Irina's questioning.
He angrily killed several buns in a row. .
Irina stopped and said: "Then I want to go too."
"You" Zhao Ziliang raised his head again, shaking his head like a rattle: "That won't work, you won't forget how you escaped here last night, right?
Now that you want to go out, aren't you afraid that your son will send someone to arrest you immediately after getting the news?
Take it back" Irina smiled slyly: "I'm not afraid."
"You will only believe it if you are not afraid of ghosts."

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of soy milk and curled his lips.
Irina smiled and said: "I'm really not afraid.
I'm here with you.
You won't watch me get hurt, right?
Besides, you definitely don't want your identity to be exposed.
So, you'd better be good."
Take me with you without letting others recognize me.”
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang felt as if he had eaten shit.
The good mood he had gotten up in the morning immediately disappeared without a trace.
He stared at Irina for five minutes, threw the spoon into the soy milk bowl, and said harshly: " You are so cruel, put on makeup and make her look like a man":
