Chapter 487 Rejoice in your birthday, everyone is happy

It has been proved that Li Xian's precautions are not superfluous.

The risks are often seconded by kings to the temptation of immortality. Although the crown prince Li Hong's sudden illness almost didn't make Li Zhi lose his three souls and four souls, but now seeing Li Hong recovering his health day by day, this Emperor Li's mind naturally became active. In his opinion, this Tianzhu monk is unreliable according to the opinion of the imperial doctor and the courtiers, so I will use my own Taoist priest, right? Besides, Guo Xingzhen is indeed a real person, and he won't talk nonsense.

So, in the innermost part of Guo Xingzhen's quiet courtyard, there was an extra Dan furnace - of course the real alchemy would not act so hastily, but who is Lao Guo? In front of the emperor, he sprinkled a large article on Huang Ting's morality, and was not without caution that the pill also needed to be trial-produced, so Li Yufa thought that he was more professional than those monks who could only boast, and he was full of confidence.

Since this day was Mrs. Rongguo's birthday, Guo Xingzhen left two Taoist children to watch the Dan furnace, and he put on a new Taoist robe and went to the banquet. Although he no longer presides over the Dongyue view, wherever he goes, everyone still politely calls Mr. Dongyue, and even quietly compliments that he is just around the corner for protecting the country.

It is that people love to listen to compliments, and this is also absolutely fulfilled in the case of outsiders. However, the advantage of Guo Xingzhen is that he can always maintain the appearance of honor and favor on the face, and he is naturally more and more dusty among a group of powerful people.

"Lao Guo!"

Guo Xingzhen was looking for his seat when he suddenly heard this sound and quickly turned around. Seeing that it was Li Xian, he smiled and said hello. The two laughed as if they were ordinary acquaintances, and then Li Xian threw an inquiring look, and Guo Xingzhen immediately reciprocated with a certain gesture. At this time, the tacit two nodded at the same time, and immediately separated to do their own thing.

After leaving Guo Xingzhen, Li Xian, who was wearing a purple robe, shuttled around the crowd, and from time to time he came out to say hello to someone. Then the whole world and the north and the south casually talked nonsense. But also happy.

Because there are so many people attending the banquet today. Therefore, the Hibiscus pond is almost more than two miles of seats, and splendid silk and rare items are all over the pond bank. There are more colorful pleasure boats in the pool, and when the time is in full swing, from the queen of heaven to the prime minister and the princes and nobles, they all have to go boating on the lake. Although this is not a spring and autumn festival such as Zhonghe, Shangsi, and Chongyang, it is stained with the joy of the old lady's birthday. Naturally, the scale is also unprecedented.

Since it is a feast, it is natural that there must be singing and dancing, and there must be no good food and wine. In addition to the high platform erected on the surface of the lake, there are colorful buildings on each side, and the kabuki dressed up from the church place live on it, and the sound of blowing, playing and singing has been faintly transmitted; And the waiters were busy placing all kinds of countless wines on each table, serving the fragrance of wine for ten miles.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people gathered around the three prime ministers of the political affairs hall. Among them, the youngest official is also a scholar. It's all there, and it's a grand scene. When it came to the rise, some people laughed and said: "Since there is a banquet, you can't make poems, and the official ministers are known all over the world." It's about to come out on top again tonight! ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yi was certainly humble, but Hao Chujun and Li Jingxuan did not object, and others also echoed it, and a sharp-eyed imperial relative suddenly saw Li Xian, who happened to appear nearby, and immediately pulled people over.

"If you want to say who can surpass Shangguan Xianggong in poetry, it probably depends on His Royal Highness King Yong!"

Li Xian was dizzy and heard such a sentence as soon as he came over, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't say this, I am now exhausted, and I can't make poetry!" ”

Shangguan Yi had heard this excuse, but others didn't believe it, and they were there one after another, even the old-fashioned Hao Chujun was no exception. In fact, this should be made no more than other poems, all pay attention to a response, that is, do not seek merit but seek no fault, in short, what Ruizhi fairy grass to praise, just do it, don't pursue any artistic effect. That is, a prince like Li Xian, who doesn't care about everything, can come casually, and others can do it as long as they don't commit taboos, but it will be difficult to be brilliant.

When everyone was talking energetically, Li Xian suddenly heard a loud report from a certain chamberlain not far away: "One hundred urns of Lanling wine, one hundred urns of green wine, one hundred urns of Fuliang jade wine, one hundred urns of osmanthus thick wine......

This continuous sound as if reporting the number echoes in people's ears, which makes the joy of good wine appear - in fact, there are not many people up and down the Tang Dynasty who don't like to drink and are not good at drinking, plus the degree of wine is not high in these years, and the Tang people like sweet wine, so in Li Xiandi's words, it is like drinking honey. The amount of wine consumed at this royal feast was really considerable.

The consumption of land is large, this delicacy is also extraordinary, just now Li Xian arrived at the waiter of a certain Shang Food Bureau, and the other party listed a full twenty-eight dishes. Although twenty-eight dishes may seem like nothing compared to the grade of this imperial feast, looking at the crowds in the garden, the cost is considerable.

"Anyway, it's not for nothing, what they gave is worth the price this time!"

slandered in his heart for such a time, Li Xian didn't think about it at all, even if he didn't consider the factor of decency, just to make the old lady happy, no one would ask the old lady to hand over the gift to the treasury, in fact, this three years in a row were smooth, although there was still a war in the east, but the life of the court was much better. Otherwise, his emperor Lao Tzu, who was simple by nature, would not have made such a big scene, without taking into account the persuasion and impeachment of the ministers.

Diligence and thrift are good things for the people, but for the Son of Heaven, no matter how diligent and thrifty they are, they are also done for outsiders to see. In addition, this time, many "friends" were invited, so it is necessary to have enough face, and let people see the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. The issue of the country's face is always more important than the issue of the individual's face.

The emperor and empress appeared together with today's birthday star Weng, and the next was naturally a series of official articles such as the meeting of the ministers, and various "friends" also sent all kinds of gifts, among which there was even a little wolf - looking at the little one, it was said that it was a puppy and some people believed it. But the envoy blew the sky into a daze, saying how rare this pure black wolf was, what a good omen, and in the end, the gift was naturally put away.

Li Lingyue stared at the black stuff wrapped in swaddling clothes like a child, her face was full of longing light, and she suddenly opened her mouth and begged Li Xian: "Sixth brother, you go and talk to the queen mother, can you raise that wolf for me?" ”

Li Xian was absentmindedly listening to those cookie-cutter greetings at this time, and nodded carelessly. When he took a sip of his glass, he suddenly realized what he had just heard. This Taiping Gong mainly raises wolves? What are you kidding, it's wild, it's really a puppy!

Because Li Hong, the crown prince, said that all brothers live in the same seat, so this seat is occupied by five of their brothers and sisters. Li Xian coughed dryly and was about to dispel his sister's unrealistic years, when Li Xian suddenly stuck out his head from the side: "Ling Yue, that's a wolf, not a dog, you are such a little careless to let the wolf eat it!" Sixth brother, raise it for me! ”

If the previous sentence still made Li Xian think that Li Xian's younger brother had changed a little now, then after listening to the last sentence, he was really speechless - it was a birthday gift from someone to Mrs. Rongguo, not his! At this time, Li Xulun also muttered in a low voice: "I also want that wolf ......"

"Quiet! Don't let people see the joke! ”

Li Hong was really dizzy by the whims of his two younger brothers and one sister, and finally could only snort in a low voice. I have to say that in addition to often eating turtles in front of Li Xian, his brother still has considerable prestige in front of his other younger siblings.

The delicacies are made with great effort by the chefs, and they are naturally delicious; Of course, it is also a first-class wine that can be served on the table of the imperial feast, which is not only sweet in the mouth, but also has a special aftertaste, which is also appreciated by people like Li Xian, who are used to drinking good wine; Not to mention the well-rehearsed singing and dancing of the Teaching Workshop Division, when such a play came on the lake at night, the fluttering look and feel of immortals even a group of old courtiers could praise it again and again.

However, no dance can compare to Hamier's Hu Xuan dance. Although he was veiled, he danced endlessly on the half-foot-square pillar in the center of the lake, and Li Xian had never seen anyone else perform such a skill. Although it was far away, he seemed to still see the charming eye waves, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"The sixth brother is really a blessing, I heard that she begged Mrs. Rongguo to have this dance tonight." Li Hong took advantage of the fascination of others to remind Li Xian in a low voice, "The queen mother has promised that after you get married, you will take her and A Luo as your wife." ”

Concubines and concubines may sound like just a kind of concubine, but in these days, there is a quota for concubines, and a prince can only accept ten people and enjoy the treatment of six grades, in other words, a side room with a name and status. Therefore, although Li Xian looked intently at Hami'er, who was dancing endlessly, he was still overjoyed because of this sentence, this old mother is really considerate, and even this kind of thing has been arranged!
