Spring May, the second day of the first month.

Liu An, King of Huainan, came to the dynasty.

Liu Che sent Maoling Hou Yanming out of the imperial capital Chang'an for ten miles to greet him.

Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, Yan Ming officially put on his court clothes for the first time and stood there respectfully. Behind him were the civil and military officials who were in charge of following and greeting him.

The frame of Liu An, the king of Huainan, has not yet arrived, but the sentry continues to go back and forth between the two groups, conveying real-time news.

"Report to Lord Hou, the frame of the prince of Huainan is still five miles away."

"Report to Lord Hou, the frame of the prince of Huainan is still three miles away."

"Report to Master Hou,......"

With the return of the sentinels, Yan Ming was already able to clearly see the frame of Liu Anlai, the king of Huainan.

As a prince of a feudal country, when he came to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, while abiding by etiquette, he also had to ensure that he could not exceed the rules.

This point is well grasped by Liu An, the king of Huainan. He was born as a literati and was the most proficient at these things.

The standard Wangjia frame, four batches of jujube red war horses pulled by mahogany frames, make the frame look extremely expensive.

Around the frame of the King of Huainan were eight knights.

Yan Ming saw the thunder quilt in it at a glance. There is a thunder quilt in it, and the other seven people are naturally called Huainan Bagong with the thunder quilt.

Lei was always in Chang'an City, thinking that the king of Huainan was going to Chang'an before he rushed over to make peace with the king of Huainan, and escorted him with the other seven people among the eight princes.

In the Han Dynasty, everyone was martial. Even ordinary scribes would learn some fencing skills. Therefore, among the Eight Princes, although Lei was the most powerful in swordsmanship, in addition to their own expertise, the others also knew some martial arts to a greater or lesser extent.

"King Huainan, Liu An, meet His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty." The voice of an attendant rang out high, and the high tones crossed the sky and pierced everyone's ears.

"Playing music!" Hearing the name of the King of Huainan loudly announced by the chamberlain on the other side, Yan Ming gently supported his hands, and the bands on both sides were actually some people in charge of the horns and drums who began to play according to the pre-arranged rhythm.

As soon as the drum sounded, the frame of the King of Huainan stopped.

Immediately a servant knelt on the ground and bent down.

The curtain was lifted, and a figure stood out from the frame. As soon as he stretched out his feet, a servant immediately grabbed the arms of the king of Huainan from both sides, and he stepped on the back of the little servant and got off the frame.

Yan Ming took two steps forward, arched his hand and said, "Maoling Marquis Yan Ming came to greet the prince of Huainan by order. As he spoke, he clenched his fists and bowed.

King Huainan is thin and thin, and he does not have the fat head and big ears that Yan Ming imagined. A pair of slender eyes flashed with brilliance, and at first glance, his temperament belonged to the group of people who had poetry and books.

Such a person, Yan Ming has a good impression at a glance.

Such a person is only suitable for academics, and cannot rebel.

"The name of Yanhou, this king has already heard of it. This time I came to Chang'an, the most important thing was to face the saint and say hello to the Empress Dowager Dou. The second is to have a good time with Yanhou. Hahaha-" Although the king of Huainan is thin, his voice is very loud.

Yan Ming arched his hand and said, "The prince has raised Yan Ming." There are many guests under the prince, and there are even the famous Huainan Eight Princes, which one of them comes out alone, and Yan Ming can't match it! ”

"Haha, it is said that although Yanhou is young, he is broad-minded. Now it seems that it is really extraordinary. Huainan King Liu appeased his palms and laughed.

"The prince praises falsely. This time, the prince came to see the Son of Heaven is the main thing, and we have a lot of days. Yan Ming reminded Liu An that this was picking him up on behalf of the emperor.

Liu An nodded and said, "Su Fei, present my Huainan country's gift list." ”

"No!" One of the eight knights on the side of the frame of the King of Huainan suddenly jumped up from his horse, and as soon as he turned over, he fell between Yan Ming and the King of Huainan.

His soaring momentum swooped down in the air, and most people would be so frightened that they retreated.

But Yan Ming's face didn't change, and he didn't take half a step back, just watched him turn over and kneel in front of him.

After Su Fei knelt down, he stretched out his hands, and a roll of parchment paper was presented in front of Yan Ming, obviously a gift list.

Yan Ming took the gift list with both hands and handed it to the entourage behind him, and then said with a smile: "The prince has come from afar, Yan Ming has prepared the frame to welcome the prince, and asked the prince to move." ”

As he spoke, he flashed backwards.

The courtiers in the back also dodged to both sides. A big car is ready, just behind.

King Huainan nodded and stepped forward.

The maids and servants who had followed him stopped outside. Only Huainan Bagong followed closely. There were also those who drove carts and pulled tributes to follow.

In Chang'an City, a separate courtyard has long been vacated in Changle Palace for the king of Huainan to live in.

Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager have all arrived at the hot spring palace in Maolingyi, and now it is almost empty.

It couldn't be easier to vacate a courtyard for King Huainan in Changle Palace.

Of course, Yiying's attendants and maids were also carefully selected by Yan Ming. How many of these eyeliners were inserted by Liu Che, Yan Ming didn't know.

After settling the king of Huainan, the holy decree came down.

Summoned the king of Huainan and his guests to the Weiyang Palace.

This gave the King of Huainan enough face. Even his disciples were summoned by the emperor, which shows how much the emperor attached importance to him.

It was said to be a summons, but it was just a royal banquet.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there are tables and cases.

This banquet was carefully prepared by Liu Che for the King of Huainan.

The whole banquet is a traditional banquet of the Han Dynasty, with ding, meat and soup. The person who eats also adopts the previous kneeling position.

Yan Ming is the messenger responsible for welcoming the King of Huainan, this kind of family banquet is a family banquet, so he naturally does not have to participate. Just stand aside and watch.

The stewed meat in the woks is still steaming, but there is also a rich aroma of meat.

King Huainan is also a foodie, and when he saw the things on the table, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, these things you eat are too rough. The minister came to meet him this time, not only brought gifts, but also brought some special food from Huainan Kingdom. ”

When he spoke, his expression was slightly arrogant, obviously not optimistic about these so-called palace delicacies.

"Oh?" Liu Che sat on the main seat and looked at King Huainan with a surprised expression.

"That's right, the minister invented a kind of food in Huainan, which is made of beans, and the minister asked him to make tofu. This kind of thing tastes fluffy and delicious. Now it has become a must in Huainan! King Huainan continued.

Hachiko, who went to the banquet with him, also nodded in agreement.

"The wine banquet in Huainan seems to be even better than the wine banquet in the palace." Among the eight princes, someone whispered, but the voice was just enough for everyone to hear.

Liu Che's face changed.

The people from Huainan are picky in their meals, which is not right.
