The snow melted and the fog cleared, and the temperature began to rise slightly.

According to the investigation report of the Datang "group" in Fang Chen's heart, in the second year of Zhenguan, Datang made a series of changes under his interference, and even set a five-year plan for the Turks.

As a participant and witness of all this, Fang Chen felt a little proud in his heart.

Chinese New Year's Eve is two years old overnight, and five is divided into two days. Chang'an City fell into a strange atmosphere of "festival".

Since a few days ago, the atmosphere in the entire palace has undergone a huge change, no crying, no noisy, the maids of each palace can not see anything else except a smile on their faces.

Li Shimin went down very early these days, and every day after returning to Kunning Palace, he would run to Fang Chen's side hall, mainly because those few novel equipment attracted his attention very much.

"Yu'er, tonight is a night banquet in the palace, it stands to reason that you are going to prepare a congratulatory gift, I know you don't understand, so I will let Sancheng go to the inner library with you later, and pick a suitable one to take out."

The kings returned to Beijing and gathered in Taiji Palace, and all the royal family members would appear that night.

And on this day, Chang'an has no curfew and is brightly lit.

In other words, Fang Chen might have to recognize dozens of uncles, hundreds of cousins, and the like on this day......

"Your Majesty, I don't have to go, do I? I'm fake, picked up, what am I going to do to make a fuss? ”

"If I let you go, you will go, don't you want to go out of the palace in a few days?"

Fang Chen said excitedly: "Can I leave the palace?" ”

Li Shimin raised two fingers, "In Chang'an City, you can go to two places, one is the Yiguo Mansion, and the other is the Huoguo Mansion!" ”

Qin Qiong, Chai Shao? What am I going to do with them? Wait, Chai Shao......

"Okay, it's a deal!" Fang Chen ran over and pulled Liu Sancheng, "Uncle Liu, let's go, take me to the inner library to pick one." ”

"Second Highness, you can slow down, the old slave's body and bones can't withstand your tossing."

Liu Sancheng joked with Fang Chen with a smile, and the two left together.

Li Shimin didn't tell Fang Chen a word, not everyone is qualified to prepare congratulatory gifts, those vassal kings are just coming back for a meal, and those who are taking the stage to give gifts are generally the emperor's favorite princes!

There are a lot of treasures in the inner library, Fang Chen originally planned to pick one at random, but Liu Sancheng didn't follow it.

"Second Highness, this is not in line with your identity, if you want to choose, you have to pick the best!"

"Uncle Liu, why?"

Liu Sancheng didn't say anything, wasn't it just a gift for Fang Chen?

Taking something from the inner library and giving it to Li Shimin is not just acting for others to see?

But there is a temptation condition to leave the palace, and Fang Chen can't agree if he doesn't agree.

I was a little strange in my heart, what did Li Shimin do this for, it should have something to do with his mother, right? Well, you can't be ashamed of your mother!

"Uncle Liu, then you say, which of them is the best?"

"Your Highness, please see, this is a gift from the previous envoy of the Japanese Ring State the year before last, Your Highness can choose from this."

"Ring the Sun? Isn't that India? ”

Fang Chen hurriedly took the gift list, he almost forgot that there were a lot of treasures in the palace treasury, and it would be a good thing if he could find anything useful.

Golden Buddha, ivory carvings, gold and silver utensils......

Fang Chen sighed, well, he was thinking too much.

But this can be regarded as a reminder to myself, "Uncle Liu, are there any gifts from other countries?" ”

"Yes, Dongwei gave some gifts last year, but because they are not very valuable, they are still in the corner."

"Oh? Show me. ”

It's better not to look at it, a pile of gold and silver is crowded together, and it didn't arouse Fang Chen's interest at all.

"People from a small country, how can there be any treasures, Second Highness, let's take a look at the others, right?"

"I remember, Xiao Ri... Ahem... It seems that there are gold and silver mines in the east of the country! ”

"What? What did you say, Your Highness? ”

Fang Chen squatted down and picked up a piece of silver at random, "Uncle Liu, you see, there are still bloody potholes on it, not teeth can bite out, in my opinion, I am afraid that their newly mined silver ore has not been smelted, so it was cut into pieces and sent to Datang." ”

"What do you mean, Second Highness?"

"There is no treasure mountain and you don't take it, Uncle Liu, what do you think?"

"The old slave will go and report to the saint."

What kind of congratulatory gifts? This news alone is enough to cover a thousand words. In other words, the silver content of their silver mine is really high and terrifying!

Since ancient times, Dongwei has called the Heavenly Empire as the suzerain, and every time he comes to Tang, he has a harvest, but now Fang Chen is making such a fuss, I am afraid that Li Shimin will open his mouth with them next time.

"Yu'er really said that?"

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that what His Royal Highness said is true!"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with annoyance, the Dongwei people he had contacted before pretended to be pretending one by one, and they were always hanging in their mouths, their small country lacked food and clothing, and they begged the suzerain to give them.

Now it seems that the other party is hiding very deeply!

"Sooner or later, I'm going to eat it all up!"

Fang Chen finally picked a random Buddha statue, because the eldest grandson Wujian liked it, as a congratulatory gift for the evening.

The sky gradually changed, from bright to dark, but all parts of Chang'an City were full of joyful scenes, and every household placed a basin in front of the door, and there was a fire burning inside.

"Crackling~!"

One by one, the bamboo was thrown into the brazier, and after being burned to a certain extent, it exploded, and the sound was accompanied, and the festive atmosphere was much stronger. And this is the firecracker of this era.

Fang Chen stood at the gate of Kunning Palace, about to go to the palace banquet, and there was a little more melancholy in his heart.

"A bowl of dumplings, a plate of vinegar, and the sausage prepared by my mother in advance, I'm afraid I can't eat one of them now."

A little stunned in his heart, he squatted down by himself, and learned from his mother's method, he pulled up part of his trouser leg so as not to get on the ground and dirty his new clothes.

Then he asked the palace maid to find a very ordinary brocade hat for herself, and compared it to the bronze mirror, to give herself a good look.

"Happy New Year, Mom!"

In the air, there seemed to be an echo "Happy New Year, my little morning!" ”

Smiling again, Fang Chen looked at Xuan Shi and Xuan Shi beside him, "Let's go." ”

The two of them were responsible for the later offerings, so they kept holding a covered Buddha statue in their arms.

I heard that this is still left by the Sui Dynasty, but it has been thrown in the inner library and not taken out.

"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~" The subtle voice kept echoing, and Fang Chen thought it was an auditory hallucination at first.

But after walking for a while, Fang Chen immediately stopped.

"Xuan Shi, you put it down."

"Huh? Your Highness, put down the Buddha statue? ”

"Yes, you put it down."

Directly lifting the red cloth, Fang Chen tapped it lightly, and immediately came to a conclusion that this thing turned out to be hollow.

Interesting, the treasure of the previous dynasty, or the hollow?

A closer look soon reveals a slight difference, the Buddha's belly has been re-reformed and re-inlaid with a layer of gold.

"Go and ask Uncle Liu to come over, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver this thing tonight."

"Second Highness, what do you mean?"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Liu San came to arrange a seat at the banquet, but was suddenly told that His Royal Highness was looking for him.

"You guys do as I just said, and I'll go out for a while."

After walking a stick of incense, he came to a remote place in the apse of Taiji Palace, "Second Highness, do you call the old slave?" ”

Fang Chen pointed to the Buddha statue and said, "There is something in here, haven't you checked it before?" ”

Liu Sancheng smiled bitterly, "My Highness, now is not the time to compete for this, you are planning to give it as a gift, is it difficult to dismantle it?" ”

Looking at Fang Chen, he found that the other party was extremely serious, Liu Sancheng's eyes were full of surprise, "You don't really want to ......"

Then he saw the smile on the corner of Fang Chen's mouth and the Buddha statue that was lifted high.

"Click~"

Thrown out hard, the Buddha statue was shattered into several pieces, and there was even a package in the inner house.

"Oh, my Highness!"

Liu Sancheng's heart is broken, the congratulatory gift is gone, isn't this a thing?

"What is this?"

But when the package was opened, revealing the treasure box inlaid with jade inside, Liu Sancheng's eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, this box is inlaid with superb jade, and it must be a heavy treasure inside!"

"Click!"

When the box was opened again, everyone's eyes lit up. No one thought that it was a tiger talisman inside.

Damn, the Buddha statue hides a tiger talisman inside, which kind of immoral thing is this idea?

Fang Chen couldn't understand the words engraved by the tiger talisman, but he could probably guess that this should be a real treasure, so he put it back in the box and said with a smile: "I got a congratulatory gift tonight, isn't this back again?" ”

Liu Sancheng hurriedly ordered someone to clean up this place, and at the same time sent someone to change Fang Chen's gift when he presented the roll call later.

Otherwise, when the roll call is about the Golden Buddha, but when you really see a tiger talisman, isn't it a mess?

"The sage edict, feast!"

"Second Highness, quickly follow the old slave into the palace!"

There are two seats on the left and right, the left is respected, occupied by Li Yuan, and the second on the right, where Li Shimin and his eldest grandson are located.

The first seat in the lower left, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian!

The second seat in the lower left, King Wei of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai!

And the first seat on the lower right shocked the eyes of countless people, and dozens of princes had a sentence in their hearts that wanted to say "Who is he!" ”

"Morning under the Second Palace, arrive!"

Fang Chen shuddered coldly, why did he still have a name?

Following the example of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he walked to the hall and bowed to the first three people.

"Sir!" "Your Majesty!" "Mother!"

Those princes were completely dumbfounded, because the title of Fang Chen was too messy.

Li Shimin and the others were very happy, "Yu'er, sit down quickly." If you are not used to it, you can share the table with the prince. ”

Fang Chen couldn't help but applaud in his heart, and followed directly behind Li Chengqian, the first place on the lower right, he didn't dare to do it!

Li Tai's eyes rolled around a few times, and he also squeezed over.

"Qingque, why are you here too?"

"Big brother, the second brother is here, is there still one left for me?"

Li Chengqian sent someone to add the table, otherwise the meal for the three of them would be too crowded.

"Erchen, Li Ke, I have seen the emperor's grandfather, my father, and my mother!"

"Ke'er is here, sit down."

Li Ke began to look for his position, but then his forehead was covered with cold sweat, what the hell, there was no one on the right and left?

Yu Guang looked at Li Chengqian and them, and immediately knew the reason, but he didn't want to go to the second right where he was at the moment, so he simply turned his heart sideways and strode towards Li Chengqian and them.
