In the evening, the night slowly shrouded in, and the Tangquan Palace was lit up with starry lanterns.

Xi Ting walked slowly to the door of the main house, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, and shouted softly: "Your Highness, the dinner party is about to start, get up and freshen up!" ”

When Li Zhi heard the sound, he opened his eyes instantly, was stunned for a while, turned his head to look, and the promise that he was sleeping in it lightly lifted the quilt on his body and sat up. He turned around and covered the quilt again for the promise, then bent down to put on his shoes, and slowly got up and walked to the door of the house.

Li Zhi walked to the door, gently opened the door, and whispered to Xi Ting: "Come in!" Be quiet. ”

Xi Ting picked up the hot water placed outside the door, walked into the room slowly, walked to Li Zhi and stopped.

Li Zhi walked a few steps into the room, turned around and washed his face in the basin served by Xi Ting, wiped it, and said to Xi Ting: "You are guarding her here!" I'm fine if I don't go with me, it's cold at night, let her stay in the house and wait for me, I'll be back soon. ”

Xi Ting held the basin and saluted Li Zhishi: "It's Your Highness, the slave knows it." ”

Li Zhi looked at Xi Ting, who turned around and walked out with a basin of water, and he also got up and walked out, not forgetting to turn around and close the door of the house.

Li Zhi came to the side bedroom door and shouted to Ping Wei in the room, "Hey! What are you doing hiding in the house? ”

"Huh! Your Highness, you are up. Ping didn't open the door, grabbed the door with both hands, stuck his head out and said with a smile.

"Yes! It's not too early, let's go to the front and have a look! Li Zhi said, turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey! Your Highness, wait for me. Ping Wei hurriedly walked out of the house, and while talking, he turned around and closed the door, and ran out of the courtyard door after Li Zhi quickly.

Xi Ting looked at Ping Wei who ran out, smiled softly, then turned around and took the empty basin and walked into the room on the right.

Li Zhi led Ping Wei leisurely and walked towards the big palace at the main entrance of Tangquan Palace.

A moment later, as soon as Li Zhi turned the hallway, he met Li You walking over from the other side with a smile and a man with a folding fan in his hand.

Li Zhi and Li You met each other outside the door of the big palace, Li Zhi greeted him with a smile, and saw that the boy was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"The ninth brother came early, huh?" Li You walked to the door with a smile and greeted Li Zhi softly.

"The fifth brother is not too late." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Huh! Ninth brother, please. Li You stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the house and said with a smile.

"Fifth brother, please first." Li Zhi said with a smile and half-bent over.

The two politely walked into the house with each other, and the son behind Ping Wei and Li You also followed quickly.

Li You pulled Li Zhi with a smile, sat in one place, next to the two tables, walked behind Li Zhi and stood in place, Li You's son, smiling and sitting beside Li You.

Li Zhi smiled and responded to the greetings from everywhere, Li Zhi watched the eldest grandson Wuji walk in a hurry, got up to greet him, saluted the eldest grandson Wuji, and said respectfully: "Uncle." ”

"Huh! His Royal Highness the King of Jin. The eldest grandson Wuji saluted Li Zhi back, said with a smile, raised his hand and patted Li Zhi's shoulder and said, "Go and sit!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and nodded to the eldest grandson Wuji, walked back to his place quickly, lifted the corner of his robe and sat down.

After a while, His Majesty walked in with high strides under the guidance of Gonggong Di, and everyone hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted with bated breath: "Welcome Your Majesty." ”

"Haha! Everyone loves to be flat. His Majesty Li Shimin walked towards the front position, raised his hand with a smile and waved to the ministers on both sides, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Haha! I'm late, old man, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" As soon as His Majesty was seated, a loud laugh came in.

Everyone turned their heads to look out the door, and saw a general, with a large body and a large body, walking in.

"Huh! Okay, look at Lao Qin, if you come late, you should be punished and punished with three glasses of wine. His Majesty said loudly with a smile to the old General Qin who walked in at the door.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of you when you drink." Old General Qin laughed and walked up to Li Shimin, bent down and gave a fist salute, and said arrogantly.

"Sit down! It's waiting for you. His Majesty pursed his lips and whispered to Old General Qin.

Old General Qin laughed, turned around and walked to the position below, walked to the opposite side of Eldest Sun Wuji, and slowly sat down.

With the voice of Father-in-law Di, the banquet began quickly, and the maids walked into the big palace in small steps, placing meals and drinks for everyone.

Not long after, as the music sounded in the corner of the house, a group of graceful dancing girls with light gauze covering their waists, lotus steps, walked in movingly.

Everyone looked in unison at the middle of the room, and after Li You's applause, everyone applauded in unison.

"Ninth brother, what do you think?" Li You held the wine glass, leaned over to Li Zhi, and asked softly.

"Not bad." Li Zhi replied casually.

"Have you taken a fancy to it, and talk to the fifth brother if you like it, these are all picked by me in Qizhou." Li You took a sip of wine, leaned sideways and whispered to Li Zhi.

"Thank you for your kindness." Li Zhi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile at Li You.

"You're welcome, I sent a few to the prince's brother a few years ago! He also thinks our girl is good, haha. Li You smiled and whispered to Li Zhi, holding a wine glass and touching Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, and then looked at the dancers seriously.

After a while, King Wei got up with a wine glass, toasted to His Majesty, and said respectfully: "Father, my son and son give you a glass." ”

"Huh! Come. His Majesty said happily.

"O slave! You should study more with your second brother! If you are stupid, you have to work harder. His Majesty took a sip of wine, glanced down casually, looked at Li Zhi intently at the dancing girl, and said loudly.

"Yes, the son remembers the teachings of his father." Hearing this, Li Zhi hurriedly got up, bowed to His Majesty, and replied respectfully.

"Sit down!" His Majesty said softly to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded when he heard the sound, sat down slowly, Ping Wei stepped forward, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a glass for Li Zhi gently, and then walked back to Li Zhi and stood behind.

"Hey! Brother Su, let's have a drink. Li You smiled and said to Su Gan Chengji, who was sitting next to him.

When Li Zhi heard this, he turned his head in surprise and looked at the son sitting next to Li You, holding a folding fan, and then remembered where he had seen it.

Li Zhi glanced at him, saw that he also looked over, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Little brother salutes the fifth brother for a cup, and that son is together!"

"Haha! As soon as my father finished talking about you, you opened up, which is rare. Li You joked with a smile.

Unconsciously, after the song, five or six dancers danced out.

Li Zhi and Li You drank wine, and then glanced at the dancers who retreated and came up.

"Fifth brother, this is also what you brought?" Li Zhi looked at the group of dancers who walked in and asked suspiciously.

"Haha! Oh, yes! Which one did the ninth brother fall in love with? Li You approached Li Zhi with a smile and said in a low voice.

"Huh! Thank you for your kindness, my father just let me study hard, I still obey my father's orders! Li Zhi stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass and said with a smile at Li You.

"Huh! Learning is learning, and this entertainment is indispensable. Li You leaned on Li Zhi's shoulder and whispered in Li Zhi's ear.

"I'm a dull person, let's put more thought into books!" Li Zhi shook his head with a smile and said refusively.

Li You glanced at Li Zhi with a smile, and felt that Li Zhi didn't eat oil and salt, so he ignored Li Zhi and looked at the dancing girl in the middle of the room intently.

Li Zhi glanced at His Majesty, looked around again, and then got up and said to Ping Wei behind him, "Go." ”

Ping Wei was surprised to glance at His Majesty who was concentrating on watching the dance, then looked at the people around him, turned his head to look at Li Zhi who was about to walk out, and hurriedly ran up.

Li You watched Li Zhi walk out silently, and when he turned his head, he saw the King of Wei looking over here, Li You casually picked up the wine glass and smiled at Li Tai, the King of Wei.

Li You and King Wei touched their glasses in the air, took a sip with a smile, and then talked to the people around them.

Ping Wei chased out of the house, and said to Li Zhi in surprise: "Your Highness, if you go back now, will Your Majesty be angry with you?" ”

"No, my father knows about me." Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and strode towards the courtyard where he lived.

After a while, Li Zhi walked outside the courtyard door where he lived, raised his hand to push open the courtyard door, and strode in.

At this time, Xu Yu was sitting on the Luohan bed, waiting for Li Zhi angrily, when he saw Li Zhi walk in, got up and walked in front of Li Zhi, and asked loudly: "Brother Jiu, why don't you take me there?" ”

"I saw that you hadn't woken up yet, so I didn't wake you up." Li Zhi walked over from Xu Promise's side, sat on the Luohan bed and explained softly.

"I don't care, I want to go too." Xu Promise turned to Li Zhi and said.

"Good! The banquet shouldn't be over yet, you and I should go on a trip. Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the promise, and said casually.

"Really." Xu asked in disbelief.

"Really, it's just a little cold outside, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." Li Zhi said to the promise calmly.

"It's okay, I'm not cold." Xu Promise said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Li Zhi stood up as he spoke, and said to Xi Ting: "Bring my cloak, bring the hand warmer." ”

Xi Ting Shi Li retreated, and after a while, Xi Ting took all the things Li Zhi wanted, handed the cloak to Ping Wei, bent down and put a few pieces of charcoal in the charcoal brazier and put them in the hand stove, and after watching Li Zhi put on the cloak, he reached out and handed it to Li Zhi.

Xu Yu stood aside, looked at Li Zhi in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Jiu, is it really cold outside?" ”
