Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seats
"Your Majesty has arrived~~ The queen has arrived~~~" With the shout of Deyi, the Lin De Palace, which was not very noisy, instantly quieted down.
Outside the Lin De Palace, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun took the dragon and phoenix in separate steps, each carried by eight eunuchs, to the open space in the square outside the Lin De Palace.
When the ministers saw His Majesty Li Er's arrival, they also got up to greet each other, walked to the outer corridor of the hall, and bowed their hands.
"Ministers, see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother."
Such a grand scene, Xuan Shijing is also the first time to see, near the predecessor in the corridor outside the Lin De Hall to salute His Majesty Li Er and the eldest grandson Empress, this pomp is not ordinary, so that Xuan Shijing, who has "never seen the world", can't help but feel a shock in his heart, even the envoys of Fanbang and the prince's ministers, in front of His Majesty Li Er, all bowed their heads and looked humble.
This is the aura and demeanor of the Emperor of the Ages
His Majesty Li Er got up and walked down, walked to the side of the eldest grandson queen, stretched out his hand to help the eldest grandson queen on the step, and the maids behind the eldest grandson queen looked envious, His Majesty and the mother were really in love.
Xuan Shijing was a little surprised when he saw this scene, he showed his affection in front of the public, and was fed a mouthful of golden dog food, His Majesty Li Er was unexpectedly considerate and gentle to the eldest grandson queen.
Empress Changsun is wearing a vermilion Xiujin Phoenix palace dress today, the back hem of the robe is mopping the floor, the gold thread on the clothes, even in the mild winter sun, the light reflected is also dazzling, wearing the twelve pearls of the golden phoenix crown on her head, it is the whole person is dignified and majestic, the faint smile on the face is gentle but gentle, just right to make people feel like a spring breeze in this cold winter wax moon.
In comparison, His Majesty Li Er's dress is nothing to speak of, just like the usual court on weekdays, wearing a bright yellow round-necked dragon robe, wearing a black gauze black-winged hat, and a pair of bright yellow soap boots on his feet, the whole person looks even more golden than Empress Changsun.
The emperor and queen stood side by side, and His Majesty Li Er waved his hand with a smile: "You Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, today I will feast all Aiqing and the envoys of all countries in this Lin De Palace, you can drink as much as you want, and you don't need to have many scruples."
After talking freely for a while, Xuan Shijing heard His Majesty Li Er's words to let everyone sit at the table.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Many courtiers bowed again and thanked His Majesty Li Er for the banquet.
Xuan Shijing followed Fang Yiai to find the place where the emperor's noble children were seated, and what embarrassed him was that he wandered around with Fang Yiai, but he never found his own doing.
"Xuanhou, is it possible that your seat is not here? Why can't I find it? Fang Yiai looked around and wondered.
"Just ask." Xuan Shijing said, how can I say that a few days ago, His Majesty Li Er personally instructed someone to come to the mansion to spread a message to him to participate in this banquet, and it is impossible not to even give a seat.
The banquet had begun, and Li Chengqian was finally freed from the encirclement of many people, walked to the top of Li Ke, and sat down.
"Ah Ke, Qingque, where is Xiao Jing?" Li Chengqian looked at the vacant seats behind Li Ke, the banquet in the Lin De Hall was organized by Li Chengqian, and for the arrangement of Xuan Shijing's seat, after consulting his father and emperor, he arranged Xuan Shijing behind Li Ke.
This seat is already beyond the ordinary etiquette for a marquis, but His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun don't mind at all.
If it is according to Xuan Shijing's age, it should naturally be arranged with Fang Yiai and others, after all, the sons and daughters of the nobles of Chang'an get together and have common words, but if it is according to the seats, Xuan Shijing needs to sit with the nobles of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian took into account the relationship between Xuan Shijing and the royal family, so he arranged Xuan Shijing in the middle of the prince's seat, and the seat was higher than Li You and Li Su, of course, all this was acquiesced by His Majesty Li Er.
"I was still here just now, before the banquet began, Xiao Jing and Fang Yiai were still eating here for a while, and then General Niu came over and pulled Xiao Jing to chat for a long time, and then I didn't pay attention to it." Li Ke said.
"Now that the banquet has begun, the seats for this banquet are all arranged in advance, if Xiao Jing has not come, then there will definitely be no seats elsewhere." Li Tai said: "Let's let the eunuchs and palace maids look for it." ”
"Well, I also blame me for this, I didn't say hello to Xiao Jing in advance." Li Chengqian said with annoyance, but now that the banquet has begun, the three brothers are all sitting under His Majesty Li Er, and the movements can't be too big, so there are still envoys from Fanbang watching from behind.
Xuan Shijing's side and Fang Yiai's love are still under the corridor, and many old acquaintances of Fang Yiai's love in Chang'an City saw him and Xuan Shijing standing here and did not take a seat, so they all came over to say hello, and Fang Yiai could only help Xuan Shijing find a seat while holding a wine glass to socialize with everyone.
Xuan Shijing grabbed a little eunuch who came to Bucai and asked, "This father-in-law, do you know where Xiaohou's seat is arranged?" ”
The little eunuch bowed and saluted: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, the slave maid doesn't know, this seat is arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Hmm." Xuan Shijing snorted, and then motioned for the little eunuch to go down.
The seat was arranged by Li Chengqian, and he even neglected himself, can he still be a brother happily, Xuan Shijing was angry in his heart, and it happened that at this juncture, there was an uninvited guest in front of him.
"Isn't this the Marquis of Dongshan, this banquet has already begun, why don't you sit down." Du He held his wine glass with a smile in his eyes.
Xuan Shijing has been wandering around here for so long, and he has been looking around, obviously not finding a seat, as his 'opponent', but to laugh a few words, it is not Du He's style.
For people like Du He, Xuan Shijing has always disdained it, saying that if it sounds good, it is a gentleman's son, and if it is not good, it is just a gangster like a little power.
Thought determines the height, Xuan Shijing's height, and Du He, is definitely not at the same level, if you argue with Du He again, some of them don't get it, it's just that Du He's reputation in Chang'an is well known, and he has always regarded himself very highly.
Li Yuanchang is too, to win over people, you also have to win over some smarter people, just with this kind of goods, you still want to make waves in Chang'an?
"Oh, Xuanhou, why are you here, hurry up and come here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrange your seat in the palace." The eunuch sent by Li Chengqian to look for Xuan Shijing saw Xuan Shijing standing under the corridor, so he hurriedly ran over and looked at Xuan Shijing with an anxious face.
"In the temple?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, according to Fang Yiai's statement, he belonged to the young gang of nobles in Chang'an, and the people sitting in the hall were all important members of the court and envoys of Fanbang.
"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highnesses King Wu and King Wei personally instructed the slaves and maids, so that the slaves and maids and a few fathers-in-law will come out to look for you, your seat is behind His Royal Highness King Wu."
Hiss~~~ When many young people under the corridor heard this, the position of the Dongshan Marquis was actually arranged in the prince's seat (to be continued.) )
