Chapter Ninety-Two: Feasting the Taihe Palace
Of course, Xiao Suzi also sandwiched pastries for Li Tu and Li Shui, but he couldn't wait to sprinkle some laxatives into this pastry, so that these two hateful children could pull for three days and three nights, Xiao Suzi served Mo Xingyao with all his heart, and filled his plate with the best pastries, Mo Xingyao ate round and slippery with a small belly, and hiccups several times with satisfaction, Xiao Suzi was happy to see it, and the children sitting next to him saw that Mo Xingyao was very cute and white, and they picked up the pastries and sent them to his plate. Li Tu and Li Shui, the two children, became even more angry when they saw it.
In the side hall, Hong Miaochun, the head of the Imperial Medical Department, touched the snow-white beard on his chin and said, "The days are passing so fast at this time, I still vaguely remember that eight years ago, on the day of the Xia Yuan Festival, the emperor held a banquet, and we were also waiting in this side hall, at that time, the third lady of General Mo's Mansion had not yet given birth to a child, this blink of an eye, the young generals are eight years old, and they have grown so tall, congratulations, General Mo, this young general is eight years old, why haven't you added another one?"
"This one child can give me a headache, where do you dare to ask for a second? One is enough! Mo Lin smiled and waved his hand, remembering Mo Xingyao's naughty appearance, this archery is not good, and homework is not good, but he is very good at eating, but in the past few years, Ye Wanqiu has been focusing on Mo Xingyao, and he is busy with the affairs of the court, so Ye Wanqiu has not yet conceived a second child.
"Where is one enough, you look at the ordinary people who have given birth to several, your general's mansion, the conditions are prominent, this child was reincarnated in the general's mansion, but he was born with a golden key, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he will be prosperous and rich all his life!" Wen Xiangyu took a sip of tea and joined the discussion of the second baby.
"Haha, Wen Xiangyu, my child is eight years old, you are not married, what's the matter, your vision is so high, ordinary rouge fans can't get into your eyes." Mo Lin joked to Wen Xiangyu, and Wen Xiangyu laughed, "That's no way, it's really not easy to meet your sweetheart." ”
"Wen Xiangyu, don't pick any more, it's cold to pick daylily again." Fang Ziyan also interjected, Wen Xiangyu gently patted Ziyan on the shoulder with a fan, Fang Ziyan smiled, and Wen Xiangyu and the two of them were hippie.
Li Tong looked at these civil officials with hippie smiling faces, and he was angry, they sat in the mansion every day to drink tea and chat, where did they know about the current Turkic war, now the border of the Tang Dynasty has been repeatedly harassed by the Turks, and the emperor can't sleep at night, they are still laughing here, it's really not that the generals don't know about the war.
Li Tong rolled his eyes at a few of them, Wen Xiangyu saw Li Tong's black face, and thought in his heart, this Li Tong, every time he has to be disappointed, when everyone was talking, Gonggong Zhang walked in, announced that the emperor had summoned him, and asked everyone to move to the Taihe Hall quickly, Xiao Suzi heard the call of Gonggong Su outside, and hurriedly led the little masters to the side hall, as soon as Mo Xingyao saw his father, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mo Lin's hands, and turned around and waved at Xiao Suzi, Xiao Suzi also waved at him, Li Tu and Li Shui saw this, He snorted at Xiao Suzi, and Xiao Suzi could only greet him with a smile, in fact, he really wanted to beat these two hateful children in his heart.
Mo Lin led Mo Xingyao to walk in front, Li Tong followed behind, looking at the white and chubby Mo Xingyao, seeing that he still had the Xingyue Sword given by the emperor at his waist, the guards at the gate of the city are getting more and more ignorant, and the swords on the waist of his grandson Li Tu have been confiscated, I didn't expect Mo Xingyao to be able to bring the sword into the palace, isn't it given by the emperor, what's the big deal, the guards at the gate of this city are also like dogs, and they lick whoever is the red man around the emperor, causing their grandson Li Tu to make trouble at the city gate for a long time, The guard also said that no one could bring a sword into the palace, and this Mo Xingyao hadn't brought it in the same way, and when he left the palace, he would have to settle accounts with the guard.
When the group walked to the Taihe Palace, the eunuchs and maids had already decorated the Taihe Palace, presumably to welcome the Turkic leader and his two children today, so they deliberately prepared quietly, and after a while, Tang Taizong led the queen and the concubine into the palace, and the queen also led the eight-year-old princess, everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting loudly, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
Tang Taizong waved his hand, everyone got up, Tang Taizong saw Mo Lin's child Mo Xingyao, and there was a Xingyue sword pinned to his waist, Mo Lin had a heart, he opened his mouth and said, "General Mo, this young general looks like he is carved out of the same mold as you, worthy of being the young general of Mofu, what name did you give the child?"
Mo Lin hurriedly replied in a low voice, "Back to the emperor, the child's name is Mo Xingyao, thank you for the emperor's compliment." Mo Xingyao also learned from his father, bowed, and replied in a milky voice, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." Everyone saw that the young general imitated his father's imitation, and laughed, and the emperor saw that this child was very cute, so he waved his hand and told Mo Lin to get up, "General Mo, congratulations, this child is clever, and he will add another fierce general to the court in the future." ”
Mo Lin thanked the emperor, Gonggong Zhang whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, the emperor nodded, and a small table was set up in the small side hall next to the Taihe Hall for all the children, and a beauty screen was set up to prevent the children from making noise and disturbing the adults to discuss things. Tang Yini, the princess sitting on His Majesty Dan, looked at the many children sitting at the small table below, she turned her head to look at the queen mother and said, "Queen mother, can I also go down to the small table, Eating with those children?"
The queen saw Yi Yi looking at herself with expectant eyes, too, Yi Yi has been staying in this deep palace since she was a child, and it is rare to see so many companions of the same age as him, she nodded, called Zhang Gonggong, who was standing next to her, and secretly whispered a few words in his ear, Zhang Gonggong heard the queen's words, so he pulled up the princess, got off the Dan Majesty, and walked to the small side hall, many civil and military officials saw this, and secretly thought that their children should not offend the princess, Li Tong was even more sweaty, His two grandchildren are also not fuel-efficient lamps.
Tang Yini walked into the small side hall, and Father-in-law Zhang said in a sharp voice, "Say hello to the princess." Many children got down from the table and chairs and saluted, although some of these children were naughty, but the etiquette that should be there was taught by the family, Tang Yini replied lightly, "Get up." The children all got up and stood aside, and Gonggong Zhang ordered the eunuchs to bring solid wood red chairs, put them on the upper seat, and invited the princess to take a seat, these children began to sit down one after another, Tang Yini sat down, looking at those children sitting there stiffly, she waved her hand and said, "Let's eat." ”
Mo Xingyao heard the princess say the word "meal", his eyes lit up and looked at the food on the table, many of which he had never seen, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of beef in his mouth, tender, slippery, really delicious, the rest of the children saw Mo Xingyao move the chopsticks, and they also picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and the atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.
In the Taihe Palace, the envoy whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, the emperor nodded, and the envoy preached in a loud voice, "Xuan, the Turkic leader Arna. Shiji Great Khan enters the Taihe Palace. The Turkic Great Khan, who was waiting outside the palace, heard the call, led his children into the palace, entered the palace, knelt down to the emperor on half a knee, put his hand on his chest, and saluted in a Turkic way, and his children behind him also knelt down on half a knee and saluted, Tang Taizong raised his hand to let them get up, the Great Khan led the children to get up, Tang Taizong gave the Great Khan a seat, and the Great Khan led the child into the seat.
"Great Khan, from the Turks to the Tang Dynasty, this road is far away, all the way to the dust, today is a welcome banquet specially set up for you, the taste of the Tang Dynasty must be far from the Turkic taste, specially let the imperial chef cook a few Turkic meals for you, and I hope you eat happily today, drink happily." Tang Taizong looked at the burly figure and sweaty beard, although he had a lot of opinions about him in his heart, he still had to pretend on the surface.
"Thank you emperor, this is my son and daughter, my son's name is Feng Xu, my daughter's name is Feng Luan, the two of them are clamoring to come to the Tang Dynasty to see the world, I will bring them over, next time I will invite the emperor to go to our Turkic territory to play, I will definitely greet the emperor with the highest Turkic etiquette." The Great Khan looked at the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty sitting on His Majesty Dan, with a lofty look, the Son of Heaven successively let Mongolia, the Khitan surrendered, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty entered the Mongolian Khitan, and divided their territory a lot, he would not be fooled like this, recently, the Mongolian and Khitan leaders secretly sent people to say, want to join forces with him, give the Tang Dynasty a dismount, he first came to explore the emperor's tone this time.
"The emperor has every opportunity, and besides, the Turkic territory has no grass, and the yellow sand is all over the ground, the emperor will go to the Turkic territory every day, if the Great Khan wants to come to the Tang Dynasty to play, the Tang Dynasty still welcomes you, after all, in our Tang Dynasty, everything is available, the materials are not as scarce as the Turks, what the Great Khan wants, this Tang Dynasty can be bought, I think this time the Great Khan is rare to come to the Tang Dynasty, and I will definitely not be able to take many things when I go back, do you want to let the Tang Dynasty soldiers help you transport it back." General Li Tong, who was sitting opposite the Great Khan, had a gun and a stick in his words, secretly satirizing the desolation of the Turkic land and the lack of materials, how could the Great Khan be a vulgar person, and listening to Li Tong's words, he heard Li Tong's sarcastic words.
"Seeing this general wearing armor and looking heroic, it must be General Li Tong." The Great Khan looked at Li Tong opposite with a smile, Li Tong was a little surprised, this Great Khan had never seen him, and no one introduced him just now, there were so many generals in the Tang Dynasty, and there were so many generals in armor sitting at the banquet today, how did this bearded man know that he was Li Tong, did this Great Khan do enough homework before he came.
